Nothing is more honorable and

science of men of the world. \ person
of good address who conducts herself
with due circumspection, conciliates

Nature never intended for people to
wash down their food while eating,
says a medical paper She has wisely
placed salivary glands in various plac-
es in our mouths; they secrete fluid
for the moistening, besides a chemical
action of the food after mastication.
This gets the food in a suitable condi-
tion for swallowing. Drinking every
few minutes while eating prevents
the usual flow of saliva; also it washes
it down before it can have a chemical
action on certain portions of the food.
One of the most pernicious habits to
health is drinking several tumhlers of
water while eating; better drink warm
drinks. The stomach will not digest
one particle of food when il has a tenn
perature below 100 degrees Fahrenheit;
neither will it digest one atom of food
until all the fluid is first absorbed. No
healthy person should drink more than
4 half-pint of some mild fluid while
taking food, and dyspeptics should not
drink drop while eating, nor for
three or four hours after.

Burst forth from their wintry winding-sheet;
And the forest leaves peep out to sec
Who this beautiful, bountiful maid can be.

And the rivulets fading, in vapors fly.
Autumn's a merchant of princcly mien.

His wondrous stores Of golden grain
Are gnmerod high on the sunlt plain,
And flow like seas o'cr his rich domain;
And his nut-brown children shout with glee
AS they gather his treasures around his knee.
Winters monster of fiendish guise,
With famine and woe in his balclul eyes.

And he laughs to hear the plaintivc wall

An Indian as q Mechanic.

One little anecdote of Red Jacket
related by Judge Sheldon at the meet
ing of the Buffalo historical society
will be found interesting: There was
once" said the Judge, "a black,nith's
shop on the corner whore the epostotlice
now stands, kept by man named
Reese. He was very fine workman,
a real artist in his line. One day Red
Jacket came into the shop with his in
tcrpreter-he would never speak
English, you know. Well, he wanted
new hatchet or tOmahawk made.
They had some talk, but Reese finally
said he would make the hatchet for him
and told him to come in two weeks for
it. When the time was IN Red Jacket
came for his hatchct 1t was a fine
piece of workmanship, too. lie went
off, but returned in Il day or two with
Tie hatchet. III ulun SUIT MN. VI
course Reese was mad, but he told Red
Jacket if he would make model of
maple wood of just such Il tomahawk
as he wanted lie would make it for
him. So Red Jacket made his model
and brought it to Reese who told him
to come after it in a week. Red Jack
ct came in a week, with his interpreter,
as usual. Reese had told several peo-
pie. and several were in the shop when
Red Jacket came in. Reese handed
him the hatchet. Red Jacket looked
at it all over, flung it across the room,
grunted Ugh and went off mad as
thunder. lie had forgotten to make
an eye IN his model, and Reese made
the hatcnCL without an eve"

These are made by passing IN end
less strip of hemp paper the width of
which equals the length of the tube,
through bath of melted asphalt, and
then rolling it tightly and smoothly on

When the number of layers thus roll.
ed is sufficient to afford the desired
thickness, the tube is tightly compress.
cd, the outside sprinEled with fine
sand, and the whole cooled in water.
When cold the core is drawn out and
the inside served with waterproof
composition. In addition to being
perfectly tight and smooth, and much
cheaper than iron, these pipes have
great strength; for when the pipes
are scarcely three-1fths of an inch

riably by premonitory shiver or
shudder of momentary duration only
which precedes it by a second or two.

country life. but his pecuniary in

"And I'll want to lay out about ten

"Yes, fully that
"And can invest another ten thou
sand dollars in blooded stock?'
81 think you can"
"And five thousand more in grading
filing up. creating fish-ponds, and So
FORTH"
"Well you may get through with
that sum-"
That's forty thousand dollars: and
now let's figure the income
"Oh, you don't need pencil or pa
per- said the victim, as a shadow of
sorrow darkened his face. "The in
come will be about three dollars for
turnips, two dollars for potatoes, five
or six for corn, and a calf or two at
three dollars a head TO save time
call it twenty-five dollars. I'll see you
again in day or two. Maybe I've
forgotten something which will be a
dollar more. Morning to you"

at is too provoking" said Miss Oleo,
to her friend Miss Margery, whom she
was accompanying to the Desbrosses
Street Ferry, about year after her
refusing Mr., Osseous, "that this fog
should swoop down like the Assyrians
upon the fold. 1t is so thick that l
can scarcely see, and know my crimps
are all out of curl"
al don't care as much for that as |
do the danger of crossing the river"
replied Mss Margery, who lived in

"If you are afraid / will go home

Il would like nothing better than to
run the risk of being wrecked, even
on a ferry-boat,"
II should be pleased to have you
come with me, said her friend. "When
we reach the other side you can tele-
graph yonr folks so they will not feel
worried at your absence"
After a delay of half an hour the
boat started on its perilCuS voyage.
The cabin was crowded, and the two
young ladies were obliged to stand up
until the stalwart form of man arose
and with bow offel ed his seat to

"You can draw your own inferences,
sir" coolly replied Fatima Oleo.

Donaparte, "but with kind treatment
and a sweet-tempered mother-in-law'

Miss Oleo was a good girl, weighing
l75 pounds, and took pardonable
pride in her obtrusive obesity.
On the other hand, young Osseous
didn't weigh much more than kit of
mackerel.
1t was no wonder, then, that when
ever they appeared together in public,
whether parading in Central Park, or
promenading Fifth Avenue, they
attracted considerable attention, and
elected many uncomplimentary re-
marks.

fore, when Mr.. OsseOuS proposed she
fatty refused to entertain the offer of
either his heart or his attenuated anat-

When he expressed the hope that he
might some day attain the magnificent
magnitude of Miss Oleo, she gave him
a glance of supreme scorn, and advised
him to Immediately make application
for the position of "Ereak' ina dime

"Never mind, Miss Fatima," said he,
as he tottered towards the door, "the

asked Miss Margery, who occupied an
adjacent seat vacated by a small hoy
who went out to catch some fog.
"Oh, only one of my old admirers
whom rejected few months ago"
"You mean that thin little chap who
looked as if he never cast a shadow
Eyes; do you remember him?"
"Perfectly well; my brother once

him."
