The following is from Joseph Jeffer-
son's autobiography in The Century: II
have often thought that Mr.. Burton must
ave had Irish blood in him, for he was
continually spreading the tail of his coat
for a fight-I mean an intellectual fight,
as physically he YVES not p~ugnacious.
Quarrelsome persons who do not indulge
in pugilistic encounters are fond of law
suits; it is only another way of having it
out, and Burton must have spent a for
tune in fees. His humor on the witness
stand was quite. equal to that of Sam
Weller. On one occasion while the actor
was going through bankruptcy, an en-
inent lawyer in Philadelphia thought he
detected a desire on Burton's part to
conceal some facts relative to a large
sum of money that he had made during
the production of the 'Naiad Queen
Rising with great dignity, and glaring
iescely at Burton, he demanded: What
became of that money, sir?' The come
dian looked him straight in the. face;
Their rising in imitation of an attorney,
he replied: The lawyers got it,"

Old Fashioned Flowers.

1 wonder if people with large gardens
in the country ever quite realize how
much people appreciate a gift of flowers.
/ think not, or more rooms, which have
little in them to make them bright,
would present a gayer appearances; and
the long, empty looking hospital wards
would always hold something lovely to
interest the weary eyes Of the patients.
A flower is such n perfect thing for a
gift, for what else is SO appropriate a
symbol of the affection we feel for each
other7 The artistically arranged bouquet,
fringed with real lace, and tied up with
the broadcast of ribbons; the brocaded
bags and plush cornucopias, luxuriously
filled with e~xotics, may possibly be a
medium for it; but if the receiver sees
nothing in it but what money can pur-
chase, it can hardly be ''joy," whatever
loneliness it may have.
1 confess to n great tenderness of feel
ing for an old fashioned cottage nose
gay, where a rose is overshadowed by a
double dahlia, where crimson stock and
scarlet geranium, purple columbine and
vivid blue larkspur, calceolaria and
m~ignonette are side by side, bound
round with large leaves of scented ger
anium and all compressed into the small
est possible space. Such a posy is the
delight of children, while to some of us
older ones it brings pleasant memories
of quaint little rooms hung with dimity.
where small gardens have been rifed to
fill the bowl which stands in the window
in harmony with its surroundings

1t is only recently that the prob.
lem of condensing milk has been solved
in a satisfactory n In the be.
ginning of the century a Frenchman
named Oppert conceived the idea of sub
jecting cows milk to a certain treatment
by which its natural properties could be
preserved for a long time and which
would render the milk capable of being
transported over long distances. Mum.
erous attempts were made by all nations
to carry out this idea. The evaporation OF
the milk at a temperature below 100 dogs.
c., the evaporation in a vacuum, and the
addition of 80 to 40 per cent. of cane
sugar to the milk to be condensed, were
applied separately and collectively until
finally an American succeeded in max
ing his experiments of practical value,
and condensed milk was soon placed

Red was considered very potent in
warding off the evil eye. In a time Of
trouble, when the evil eye was especi-
ally triumphant. all the red tape in a
certain county of England was bought
to ward off its baleful influence. The
remains Of this superstition still pre-
vail, for many people believe that a
red string around the neck is an ex-
cellent remedy for asthma, measles
and mumps.
The preservation of faith in red still
exists, as is shown in the great conf
dence which obtains in the medical
virtues of red flannel and the belief
that the milk of the red COW is better
than hat of another color. The Ger
man peasant, if he cuts himself,
thinks he shameless the blood better
with a red ribbon. This may be ac-
counted for not only because of ira
dition, but the fact hat blood would
not form SO startling a contrast when
wetting a red ribbon as when wetting
a white one.-Chicago Herald.

DR.. and Mrs. E. o. Shakespeare ar
rived a few nights ago in Darby from
a prolonged wedding trip, and were
given a reception at the house of the
brides brother, Charles o. Baird, on
Summit street. The Defiance Drum
and Fife corps called on the couple and
~discoursed sweet music of a rather
classical nature. The programme in;
cluded "McGinty," That Hat" and
''Papa's Pants Will Soon Fit Willie"
The couple were SO delighted that the
members of the band were invited in
and given carte blanche to the doc
tors best medicine chest. Before they
departed the leader Of the band was
given 500 with the groom's compli-
ments, and since the news spread
throughout the county bands by the
dozens have been coming into Darby
every night marching up and down
trying to find DR., Shakespeare.-Phil-
adelphia Record.

Tho Craze for Bras. ped.tead..

Mr.. Maloney, salesman: You would be
surprised to know the extent of the craze
in Chicago for brass bedsteads. When
we first introduced them there was a
prejudice against them, the good house
wives urging as an objection that extra
servants would have to be employed to
keep the bedsteads FURNISHED. This OBJ
lection, however, had nothing in it. A
brass bedstead requires no more atten-
ton than is bestowed upon any nice
piece of furniture. There are only three
manufactures in the United States. One
is here in Chicago and two are in New
York. The one in Chicago was a failure
at the start, and, if 1 remember correct
ly, came near going to the wall. 1 be-
lieve it revived when it removed to Pull
man, and now it is doing its share OF
business. The brass bedstead, as you are
probably aware, is English. Many are
discarding their old bedsteads for brass
ones, while those who are furnishing
houses anew or for the first time pur.
chase the brass bedsteads. They are nc
as expensive as you might imagine. You
a get a handsome nj for from $50 to
S75, and that's what you would pay fol
a well finished wooden bedstead.-Chi-
cage Tribune.

why some chimney. win Not Draw.

with the improvement of the city
by the building of many storied struc-
lures the number of chimneys that
won't draw will increase" said Henry
McShane to a Post reporter the other
day, There is comparatively little
trouble here from these causes, for the
reason that we have few localities built
up very compactly, and the width of
streets tends to encourages circulation
of air. But the tall buildings we see
going up here and there will cut off
the draft that many chimneys now
have, and a good many people will be
troubled in this way probably awhile
before they really know the reason
their fires don't burn. In very many
cases the only remedy will be to build
up taller chimneys in order to get suf,
