Bismar ck's Five Eggs for Three.

How to divide five eggs between three
people is a problem which might fairly
puzzle philosopher, but the practical
genius of Prince Bismarck has solved
that, as it has many other difficulties
which have proved too much for pro-
found thinkers. The only wonder is
that, as he made the great discovery as
many rs thirteen years ago, 1T should
only now have been given 70 the world
III the pages of the Deutsche Revue. 1t
appears that it was on the evening of
Gravelotte, after a day when the prince,
like everybody else, had had nothing to
eat, and was hungry-hung rier, we may
presume, than anybody. He had, how
ever, the good fortune to secure five
eggs for 20f., and the generosity to share
them with two of his companions. But
foreseeing the mathematical difficulty
which would arise if he were to attempt
an equal division, he took the precau-
ton to eat two of the five himself first,
and then dashed off to mis- comrades, and
a fair distribution OF the remaining
three, keeping to himself all knowledge
of the two that he had SO conveniently
got md of. A rapacious statesman would
have kept all the eggs, and Quixotic
statesman would have kept only one of
them But it is Prince Bismarck's Pc
culiar distinction to combine sedulous
attention to the interests of number one
with an effective display of upselfsh-
ness. He has divided countries ere now
on the principle on which he dealt with
the five eggs.

Too Much Light for His Head.
From the New York Times.]


He was tired. There was 10 doubt
about 1t. he did not feel like walking
at FAIL. He only wanted to hold fas. to
the firm support of a lamp-post and
think. If there was one thing more
than another that suited him perfectly
it was unlimited thinking. He APP
preached the lamp-p post with uncertain
steps. He meandered all over the side
walk like six day pedestrian on his last
lap. In his eye was a wandering, va
cant, mildly sorrowful expression. In
his hand was torn newspaper. In his
mouth was the ruin of a once proud and
puugent flve-cent Brooklyn Havana. In
his heart was weary load of bitterness
and woe. In his head-there was no
telling what was in his head, for it was
SO big that it would have held circus
with all the side-show attachments.
The man reached the lamp-post anu
leaned thoughtfuIly against it.
"Oh, my headr' he murmured.
Then he was lost again in deep rehec-
tion. Anon he accosted passer by.
" Wha's time ?" he inquired.
The pedestrian glanced at the city hall
clock, and found it was $50 P. NJ.
"Wha' day ish't?"
"It's Friday"
Thanksh, M frien'; call agin.'
The weary man reflected op the hour,
and wondered how he could reach Har-
lem ere the morrow. Suddenly he gave
a lurch and swung around the lamp-post
SO that he faced the west, and the won
drous red glare in the sky fell upon his
face. He started back. e
ooh, golly" he exclaimed; ".seein'
red light in the sky at night! Got 'em
again! Got 'em again.
And he burstinto tears as policeman
came and led him away.

Swallowed a Lizard.
from the pittsbure Leader,

Day before yesterday Mrs. Burns, who
resides on Bismarck Way, entered A. B.
Urben's drug store in great state of
excitement, and told the gentleman that
her little 5 year-old daughter had been
complaining for some time about terri
bic pains in her stomach and that she
had gone into spasm. Mx Urben
asked the woman if she had given the
child any kind of worm medicine. The
woman said not, but that she had been
trying many things that had been rec
commended, without effect. Finally the
gentleman told her she had better try
some of his worm-killer, which she did,
and yesterday the little one was relieved
of something that resembles lizard,
nearly four inches long, since which
time the child has been better. The
mother when questioned said that the
child, and some of the other children
living in the neighborbood, had been in
the. habit in the summer time of drink
ing from spring that runs out of the
side of the hill, and it is supposed that
during one of these visits to the spring
the child had swallowed the lizard.

Medical Students in Vienna.


The various courses continue to be
well attended, and some OF the regular
university lectures are frequented by
Americans, at least by such as can

air is one of the least OF the obstacles
with which the fastidious foreigner has
to contend IN Vienna, for here bad man

be Russian, Hungarian, German, bar

the number of nationalities represented
here, the students relations are gener-
ally pretty harmonious.
Few American physicians study
abroad without spending some time il

months, others, interested in special
studies, may spend as many years, but
probably everyone remains little lon

Regularity Brings Vigor.

Local irregularities produce weakness of the en-
ire system. In order, therefore, to re-establish
health and strength upon basis, these rregu-
larities must be permanently overcome. Many per.
SONS endeavor to reform them by remedies which
address themselves merely to the symptoms, without
affecting the cause. If such individuals to use
instead Hostetters Stomach Bitters, they would
speedily appreciate the difference between medi-
cine which palliates. and one which entirely removes
physical disability. That prime regulator of bodily
disturbances restores the derect organs to en- un-
interrupted and healthy performance of their vari-
Gus duties, whereby alone the system can recover
it's lost tone and vgor Hosteter's Stomach Bitters
are a tonic medicine, but they are a tonic which

Wintering Farm Horses

In the Breeders Gazette for Deem

farm horses usually are comparatiyelv
at leisure and need less food than when

large majority of cases, to give them
comfortable shelter and some grain feed
daily. Daily exercise is especially de-
slrable. In pleasant weather it is well
If they can spend much of the time in
the open air; but we know of nothing
desirable which can be expected to come
to either colts or grown horses from
needlessly exposing them TO storms or

violent driving and allowing them to
stand In the cold unblanketed, are COM

cold weather; and when left to stand.
