TIE professional molasses faster is martyr.
Imagine man having to sample twenty-five
or thirty grades of that sirup and then try to
eat a square meal He can't eat a square
meal, you will say. Oh, yes he can, is the
reply To be sure he tastes of thirty kinds
of molasses in one day, but he does not swal
low particle, at least not more than a parti.
Gle This requires practice, this abstinence
from swallowing, and is the great difficulty
in the beginners path. He must protect his
teeth, too, and therefore his masticators re-
quire careful cleansing, not alone to prevent
decay, but in order to keep his gustatory

best not to use tobacco, sweetmeats or highly

False Alarm.

A Cambridge gentleman was asked to buy
ticket to the firemen's ball. and good ma
turedly complied. The next question was
what to do with it. One of his two man SER
wants would probably be glad to use it, but
he did not wish to show favoritisnl. Then it
occurred to him that he might buy another
ticket, and give both his servantsa pleasure
Not knowing just how to proceed he i'll
quired of a policeman where the tickets were
to be had. why don't you go down to the
engine houseg' said the officer. "The men all
know you"
So the old gentleman went to the engine,
house; but when he entered there was no one
in sight He had never been in sucha plac"
before, but was perfectly familiar with the
use of electric signals. On the side of the
room was a button, evidently connected with
a bell, and, naturally enough, after waiting
a minute or two he put his thumb upon it,
The effect was electrical in every sense of

Amid all this turmoil stood the mild man
nered, and innocent old gentleman, who, even
now, did not suspect that he had touched the
fire alarm. The men rushed upon him for
information as to the whereabouts of TIE
fire. but when he opened his mouth it was
only to say, in the mildest accents:
Il should like to buy another ticket to the
ball, if you please"
The situation was so ludicrous that no one
could be angry, not even the men whose nap
had been broken into, and the old gentleman
bought his ticket and departed in peace

Curious Chinese Customs.

When a Chinaman desires a visitor to dine
with him he does not ask him to do so, but
when he does not wish him to stay he puts
the question: won't you stay and dine with
me, pleasew The visitor will then know he
is not wanted
When Chinaman expects present and
it does not come he sends one Of lesser value
a rich mans servant gets no salary, yet
many are the applicants, while big salaries
are paid to the servants of the common PEG
pie, but few make applications. The per
quisites of the former often more than triple
the salaries of the latter, which is the sole
reason Of thCse differences. To encourage
honesty and sincerity, confidential clerks and
statesmen in all branches of industry receive
an annual net percentage of the firms bust
ness, besides their regular salary
The highest ambition of a Chnaman is to
have nice coffin and fine funeral.
In China one can always borrow money on
the strength of having a son, but nobody
would advance him a cent if he had dozen
daughters The former is responsible for the
debt of his father for three generations. The
latter is only responsible for the debts of her
own husband.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

The North Carolina Butchers Wife.

Redding Cape was known far and wide in
the mountain country around Hillsborough
as butcher No killing could properly take
place unless Cape was there. He was tall,
powerful, red haired and cross eyed His
perennial costume was red flannel shirt and
a pair of butternut pants tucked into the
tops of enormous rawhide boots. His wife
was nearly as tall and heavy as himself.
One spring she experienced religion, and
with some fifty others, of both sexes, went
down to the branch pond for baptism The
minister was short and understood, but he
got along all right until he came to Sis Cape
They waded out into the water hand in hand
until she was up to her waist, while the par
son was up to his neck and almost floating off
his feet
The minister went through the usual for
mula, wound up with Il baptize you, Sister
Cape, in the name of the Father, Son and
Holy Ghost" and made an effort to duck the
convert. She stood like rock, but the pas.
tor missed his footing and got mouthful of
water.
Again he essayed 1t.
SISTER Cape, when | say the word you
must let yourself fall back into the water and
not resist
But the good woman glanced over her
shoulder and didn't like the looks of the pond
When the word came she stood like a tele-
graph pole, while the minister nearly drowned
himself in his endeavorS to have her properly
immersed The crowd on the bank got con
siderably worked up.
Redding Cape was a silent. witness of th'
contumely which his wife was bringing upor
his good name. At the last failure he strods
violently into the pond, plump, plump,
plump. Ranging alongside the couple, he
caught his wife by the neck and waist and
growled out;

tor, she's hard fur ter throw Washington

Cultivated Musk.

Artificial, or rather cultivated, musk, If
we may believe what seems to be a very well
authenticated statement, appears to be a
thing of the near future The announcement
Is made that at the laboratory of the Gesund
named Kitisato, pupil of Koch, has isolated
a microbe from an infusion of hay which has
the property of producing powerful odor of
musk The microbe can be cultivated in any
of the nutrient media, but thrives best on the
potato and the rice preparation The cul
lures are at first reddish in color, afterward
becoming rust or tilecolored. When the cul
lures are exhausted with alcohol the latter
possesses the odor of tincture of musk.-New

The Tennis Racket.

Ash is the raw material Of the tennis
racket. When the tree is cut down it is split
into strips sixty-six inches in length These
are placed in a steaming box for a few hours,
when they become supple enough TO be bent
into shape round a block. In this position
they are cramped and left for twemty-four
hours to cool and dry. After being taken off
the block they are fastened in a way which
preserves the shape, and left TO season.
When the manufacturing process is resumed
the center" which is of walnut, is fitted in
a slip of wood is put up the middle of the
handle and piece of haywood or cedar is
fixed on each side Having been left over
night to set, the handle is then shaped up
The holes are next bored in the frame, and
the whole being rounded and smoothed off
oil is rubbed in to prepare for the polishing
The gut is then strung, and this is done with
great care, each strand being frightened up
until it rings like the string of musical in
strument.
The racket generally used is perfectly
straight in the sides, but slight lob on the
under side has been introduced by the Slazen-
gers under the direction of some of the lead
ing players For playing downwards it is
considered to have advantages in the hands
of experts, giving it great driving power
The demon" racket which has figured in the
law courts has groove running lengthwise
on each side of the handle and one crosswise
near the tip to enable the fingers to grip more
firmly Most handles are, however, perfectly
smooth. In weight they run from thirteen
to fifteen ounces, and in price the best rackets
range from guinea to twenty-five shillings,
while a good, ordinary one can be bought for
half guinea to fifteen shillings. The frame
of desirable racket should be free from
flaws and have a straight grain, the gut
should be tightly strung and yet have good
deal of elasticity, and the finish generally
should be good. When out Of play, and in
the winter season especially, racket is apt
to warp unless fixed in press, of which
there are various kinds. Pail Mall Budget.
