A Spell on the Corpulent Gentleman.


Two or three years ago there lived in
the lower oil country a prominent oil
producer who was a VIGOROUSLY bad
speller In letter, among other errors,
he spelled water with two is. A party
of gentlemen were discussing this pecu-
liarity in the bar-room of the Collins
House, Oil City, one evening, when the
poor speller himself CHANGED to come in.
"Hello!' said one of the party, a corp
ulent gentleman, now remotely con-
nected with the New York Petroleum
Exchange, eve were just talking about
your
'"Is that sop was the reply. "And
what were you saying?'
"Why, some of the boys claim that
you are the worst speller in seventeen
States"
They do, I think I can spell about
as well Us the average producer"
I'm tell you what I'll do with YOU"
said the first speaker, 81 Il bet the cham
payne for the party that you can't spell
water
"All right" replied the producer, and
he proceeded to spell the word,
''w-a-t-e-r."
That's the way I spell water for
money" he quietly remarked. "but
when spell it for fun | sometimes use
two t's.n
The corpulent gentleman paid for the
wine, and the silence became so great
that you could hear house fall down.

Apples as Food.

From the earliest ages apples have
been in use for the table rs 4 desert.
The historian Plny tells us that the
Romans cultivated twenty-five varieties
of the apple. In these latter days we
probably possess over 1000 AS an
article of food they rank with the po-
tato, and on account of the variety OF
ways in which they may be served they
are far preferable to the taste of many
persons; and if families would only
substitute ripe, luscious apples for pies,
cakes, candies and preserved fruit, there
would be much less sickness among the
children, and the saving of this one item
alone would purchase many barrels of
apples.
They have one excellent effect upon
the whole physical system, feeding the
brain as well as adding to the flesh, and
keeping the blood pure; also preventing
constipation and correcting q tendency
to acidity, which produces rheumatism
and neuralgia. They will cool of the
feverish condition of the system; in fact,
they are far better for these purposes
than the many nostrums which are
highly praised in the advertisements,
and are so constantly purchased by SUI
ferers. A ripe raw apple is digested in
an hour and a half, while 4 boiled po-
tatO takes twice the time.
While apples can be purchased at
cheap rates, every family should keep a
dish of them in the dining-room, where
the children can have access to and eat
all they please of them. They will rare
ly receive any injury from them if they
are thoroughly maSticated. Baked
apples should be as constant dish upon
the table as potatoes. Every breakfast
and tea table should have a plate of
them. Baked sweet apples are very
pleasant addition to saucer of oatmeal
pudding, and, when served with sweet
cream, they are very appetizing.
They are not so commonly used as
they should be, as they will supply as
much muscular and nervous support as
dishes of meat and vegetables. Thou
sands of bushels of sour apples are used
for pies and buildings in hundreds of
families where well-baked sweet apples
would prove more nourshing food and
much more economical. They are also
good food for old people, and are usually
greatly reished by them. In my own
family they are always, when in season,
part of the meals of the day. and are
as commonly used as q slice of bread

Killing Perkins.

1t is on record in this State that a
Michigan editor was once engaged to
fight a duel If the editor himself is
not living he must have died within
a week past. The affair occurred about
twenty-five years ago, and was brought
about by the journalist making several
vicious attacks upon the honor and
honesty of a member of the Legislature.
The Scion first tried the usual way of
getting even, by buying horsewhip and
hunting the editor but when he had
found him he was Knocked down and
rolled in the mud. He then sent formal
challenge, and as the editor opened the
letter he turned to his two compositors
and said
Boys, how much matter have you got
up for the first page ?"
"Three columns replied the foreman
after measuring up on the galleys.
8" And we need five. You'll have it
all up by noon tomorrow, and by
Wednesday night all the inside will be
up. Then i wet down the paper and
make up, and while you are working off
che outside I'll run out and shoot old
Perkins, who has sent me challenge 4"

rifles as weapons, appointed the rendez-
vOus within thirty rods of the office, and
then began TO scratch out copy When
the hour arrived he was making up the
forms, having got u little behind the
programme, and by and by his second
came in at the back door and said
"We've been waiting for you all of
twenty minutes"
/. But I'm busy"
"This is no time to be busy. Perkins
is all ready"
Hang the luck ~ growled the editor
as he filled out column and flung down
his rule. "Thats just like Perkins-he
wants to throw our publication day.
Come on-rll fill him up ~
The editor seized his gun, and hatles,
and coatless he set out on a lope for the
spot. Perkins saw him coming in that
fashion, and his knees weakened and hi.

yelled for him to hold on minute, hC

The Monkeys Letter.

My brother once owned funny little
monkey. His name was ,Jocko. Like
all monkeys, he was a great mimic.
One day my brother sat down at his
desk to write a letter. JOcko jumped
into chair to watch him. His little
forehead wrinkled up, and he scratched
his head with his paw. AS my brother
folded his letter, and put it in the envel-
ope, and stamped it, Jocko's funny lit
tie face seemed to laugh all over Il
can do that as well as YOU" was what
he would have said if he could. 1t was
near post-time, and my brother hurried
off with his letter, but forgot to shut his
desk.
When he came back, there was the lit
tie monkey seated at the desk. A sheet
of letter-paper was spread out before
him, covered with the most comical
scribbles you ever saw.
He found he couldn't hold the pen
so he had squeezed his little fingers into
the inkstand, and what funny writing it
was!
He was folding up the letter with his
inky paws when my brother came in.
80 Jocko! you young rascaln' he said.
But Jocko jumped down and was under
the table-cover in twinkling. Ny
brother burst out laughing when he saw
Jocko's letter.
That was signal to the little culprlt
that his master wasn't very angry with
him. So, holding up one corner OF the
table-coyer with his paw, he yentured
to peep out.
Come here, old Jock. and tell me to
whom you have been writing to-"
Then Jocko jumped upon his knee,
and if monkeys only could talk, think
this is what he would have said: give
been writing to my brothers and sisters
in South America; and now won't yG
please direct the letter and put on tn
stamp. Perhaps your Handwriting
would look better than mine for the
outside. "-Our Little ones.

An Eastern Romance.

The reported death of the deposed
gaekwar of the principally of Baroda.
in Western India, closes another chap
ter in an Eastern romance well worth
the attention of any historical novelist
Some years ago the gaekwar was de-
tected in deliberate attempt to poison
Colonel Phayre, the British resident at
his court, and was dethroned forthwith.
The vacant throne was filled by a youth
OF twelve, originally the son of a Hindu
peasant. The Princess having seen the
child in his native village and taken a
fancy to him, adopted him as her own.
This adoption, according to native ideas,
made him in all respects her lawful son
and heir. A similar adoption formed the
basis of the claim put forward by Mana
Sahib, and disallowed by the English
Government with such fatal results.
In the case of the young gaekwar, how
ever, no opposition was made, and this
lad, who was running about a mud vii
age not many years ago, with no clothing
but his own matted hair, now ranks
among the sovereigns of India, and has
just had the last obstacle swept from his
path by the death of his predecessor. in
whose favor more than one plot has been
Matched against him. Y Times.
