''4ave you any secondhand ances-

woman with a shrill voice, of a we'll
known art dealer on Woodward ave-
nue..
Ancestors echoed the bewildered
man, 81 don't think quite understand
YOU"
Don't catch on, hey? You must be
as stupid as you look then, but it's hard
to believe. I've got new house and
it's all fixed up and furnished tip-top,
and now want to buy some ancestors
to hang in it."
"Pm sorry man," explained the
dealer, civiliy, "but all my ancestors
are hung; here's holy family by
Murillo l will sell you cheap, if it will
suit"
"Thank you; don't want another
family by the Manillo, or any other
man-one family in the house is
enough. If you've got an aboriginal
boy chrome dunno but might take it,
but there's heap more style in gall

clerk "What the woman was worth ?"

Artificial Feeding.

In Germany where great care is OBJ
served in gathering statistics appertain-
ing to human life) it has been found
that of one hundred children nursed
by their mothers, only eighteen died
during the first year; of those fed by
wet nurses, twenty-nine; of those artiG-
cially fed above fifty. And it has been
further found that Of those brought up
in charitable institutions eighty Of
every hundred died. Such fact, should
receive the serious considerations Of
mothers who shrink from giving nurse
to their babies simply on the score of
inconvenience or prudishness. There
are cases where the life Of the mother
may be sacrificed to the child in conse-
quence Of her own physical weakness
and the baby's inherited greediness. In
such a case there can be no question
as to the duty of the mother. She
should protect herself-put the babe on
the best diet attainable, for what is
babe without mother.-Dr. Footes

DE LEssRPs, on learning that the British
troop-ship Orion intended to land men at
Ismalia, started at once for that point, de-
claring that the English should only de-
bark after passing over his dead body and

tribe of Bedouins to oppose by arms any
European Intervention. The French adj
miral has telea raphed to Paris grave COM

Arabs troops have again destroyed
the railway at Mahalla, recently repaired.

feared. Seventeen pashas unfriendly to
the rebel leader are imprisoned at Cairo
A reconnaissance was made by the 38th
and Goth regiments OF British troops in
the afternoon, and the enemy's position
in front of Alexandria discovered TO be
almost totally abandoned. Suez was oc-
cupied by marines, and at their approach
the Egyptian troops fled.
THE London Times saws the schemes OF
Turkey. regarding the Egyptian question,
are to thwart, if possible, the efforts Of
England. The khedive has authorized
the British to occupy as much of the Suez
Canal as they deem necessary for war OPP
erations, and Arab Pasha has instructed
the Bedouins to obey De Lesseps. Rus
STA has informed its representative in the
conference to take part in no discussion
hut those affecting the Suez Canal. and ii
is therefore surmised the conference will
be dissolved. The Sultan has said the
proclamation of Arab Pasha az a rebel
is question for the consideration of the
conference. and advise Lord DufferiD to
consult with the Turkish DELEGATE.

pying an outpost of the British, outside

fantry and cavalry of Arab, and fled in
great disorder. throwing away their rifles
and ammunition, which the enemy secured.
1t has been decided that FIVE members OF
the recent French ministry will retain
their portfolios. The selection CT the re-
mainder has not been determined. An
official statement IS published at St. Pet
ersburg that Russia has never Endorsed
the Anglo-French naval demonstration
but her purpose is TO induce Great Britar
TO combine her action with that of The
Porte, based on the decisions of the con
ference.

like the sail of a cat boat, while the
other fin reaches down from its belly
like the center board of a yacht. 1t is

to be four hundred and seventy pounds.

TEXAS PREACHERS, TRIALS.
A Tale that Goes to show that One
should Have Respect for the Cloth.
From Little Rock Gazette


Texas preachers are said to be very
eccentric, and their mild unnaturalness
has given rise to a great many remarks
and few stories. The following mar
rative was told us confidently by a
slanderer:
A minister arose before large audi
ence, took his text, when some one be-
gan firing pistols on the outside of the
church.
Brother Deacon" said the minister,
~ believe those fellows are casting in
situations at me. In fact / am nearly
convinced" he continued, as piece
of plastering fell from the wall close to
his head.
81 think, parson, that it refers to
some one else, replied the deacon.
The minister raised a tumbler of wa
ter and was in the act of applying it to
his lips when the glass fell, shattered by
shot.
"This is an innuendo no longer" said
the minister, wiping the water from
his vest; "this is what | term an un-
mistakable thrust. The congregation
will please sing while go out and in
vestigate the matter. Is there another
preacher in the housed"
EYES," said a man, throwing down a
stick he had been whiting, arising and
pulling at the waist of his pants like a
man who had just straightened up after
setting out row of tobacco across a
broad fed.
"Got on an extra?"
Eyes"
"Unlimber."
The whiting preacher handed over
large Remington pistol, which the
insulted preacher took, and, drawing
one from his belt, started out. After
going out there was an immediate inn
provement on the firing business. 1t
was decidedly more life-like, insomuch
that the deacons sat working their
fingers, After awhile the minister re-
turned and placing a ear on the pulpit,
remarked Gle that hath ears to hear,
let him behave himself" The sermon
then proceeded without interruption.

IT is said that fourteen million bu-
shells of sweet potatoes will be in Geor-
sia this season. and how to dispose OF
the Gro? is problem. Two attempts
at solution are mentioned in The Allan
ia Constitution. One is that freight rates
be made low enough to make western
shipments profitable. The total crop
weighs nearly half a million tons, and
to carry such freight should be an
object to any company which c'uld
handle it and take it 10 market, where
fair prices are sure to obtain. The
other solution is to use an evaporator
and dry the potato, by which operation
only about Is per cent. of the weight

IT is said that alcohol equal to that
made from grain can be produced from
acorns. The acorns are freed from the
shell and ground finely: then they are
mashed with malt and allowed to fer
ment. Acorns contains twenty per
cent. of starch and Is per cent. of glut-
en-. They would be 4 valuable article
for human food if it were not for the
tannic acid (about 8 per cent which
they contain. Vast quantities which
go to waste every year, where hogs are
not fed in the woods. might be gather
ed by boys and converted into alchol
Tor the use of the arts, thus freeing an
equivalent amount of grain for use as
food. Or some young student of prac-
teal chemistry might make good
thing for himself and for the world by
devising an economical process of sep
arating the starch. gluten, and fannie
acid, the last for technical uses ard
others for food.
