For long time humps of crude rubber
and elastic bands have mysteriously van
ished from the counter of Morrissey's
"all night" pharmacy in Brooklyn. No
body was able to throw any light on the
enigma until Drug Clerk Bosworth made
a discovery.
1t was late at night and the store was
quiet. Trade had been dull for an hour
and Bosworth felt like ticking a nap.
Just as he was about dropping off to
sleep he happened 10 look up and caught
a glimpse Of Doc" big cat that lives
in the pharmacy. He was at lunch, and
was feasting on rubber bands.
One by one he extracted them from
their little glass receptacle and munohed
eway with evident relish. Bosworth did
not disturb him, but sat still and count
ed the rings as they vanished down the
cats throat When forty-three had
faded from view Doc" stopped eating,
gave a wide SYN and stretched himself
out for an after dinner nap on top of a
showcase.
Having accidentally solved the mvs-
terry, Bosworth resolved 10 lave some
fun at Docs expense, so. after the cat
had been doing for an hour, he called
him. Doc came to the front quickly.
In his hand Bosworth held d large elias
tic band. This he extended toward The
cat. Docs" eyes seemed TO sparkle as
he contemplated the luscious morsel,
and without hesitation seized it with
his teeth.
Bosworth, however, had a good grip
on the other end. When the cat pulled,
Bosworth pulled, too. but the little tug
Of war did not last long, Tor the mis-
chievous clerk Suddenly relaxed his hold
on the band, and as IL snapped back it

band as if itwere hot potato. spraug
from the counter and ran out OF the
store with a cry Of distress.
Since then, although Bosworth and
his friends, TO whom lac related the Incl
dent, have repeatedly tried 10 induce
Doc" to submit TO being hand fed with
rubber rings. he steadfastly refuses to
indulge. His abnormal appetite has
been cured. New York Herald.

side
The escape Of animals has caused panic
in many a neighborhood which a few
hours before had laughed at the FRANKS of
the clown, but probably no more amusing
complication has been recorded than that
which was brought to the attention OF a
London annoyance jury" threescore years
ago. 1t seems that British predecessor of
the noted Barnum had on exhibition a
faxed up" beast which he called "Bonas-

aggregation an indignant citizen wrote as

A SENSATIONAL SHOW IN PARIS.

It Began with a cloud" Feature and
Ended with One Still ''LOuder''-MOre
Objectionable and Less Virile Than the
Old Roman Show-The BoDassus.
Old Rome was the real home of the cir
cus-the place where it fourished in its
abundant barbarity and magnifcence;
where all that the turbulent populace de-
manded was "bread and circuses." Granted
these they would guarantee to obstruct in
no way the schemes of robbery or ruin set
on foot by the Caesars.
But the circus of Imperial Rome meant
more than does the circus Of today. 1t

H1nts About Caring for Che Hands.


Borax water is good for washing the
hands. Ccarsely ground oatmeal is a fair
substitute for soap in washing the hands.
White unscented soaps are the best, as the
highly scented soaps are usually made of
rancid fats. A solution of oxalic acid will
remove fruit stains from the hands, but it
must not touch an Rbraded surface. After
washing and drying the hands thoroughly,
glycerine and spirits of camphor in equal
parts mixed together is good 10 rub over
them. Cocoanut oil is a pleasant applica-
ton. Wearing kid gloves two sizes too
large is helpful in preserving the hands.
One should have an old pair of gloves to
take up ashes in, 30 sweep in and to wear
in all dirty work that permits the wearing
of gloves. If gloves are dipped in not very
hot liuseed OIL they become waterproof
and may be worn while washing. Ere
quent vigorous rubbing of the hands will
promote circulation and keep the skin in
good condition.
