Surprising Ills Palate,

Speaking about stimulants," said Ben jamin F. Hitchcock, the music pub fisher, reminds me of a curious habit of Fernando Wood, once mayor of this city. Some time in the '50s he addressed a literary society of which I was a mem- Der, Tn the old Broadway tabernacle. which was then situated on Broadway near Lispenard street. Mir. Wood talked about Alexander Hamilton, and as it was my duty on behalf of the society to thank him for his kindness in addressing us, sat on the platform. Upon the table beside the speaker stood a pitcher and two tumblers. At frequent intervals during his talk MT. Wood poured little of the contents of the pitcher into the tumbler and tossed it off. I noticed that after each drink Mr. Wood became more animated, his periods were more glow ing, his manner more assured.
 As the time drew near for me to make the speech of acknowledgment I became very thirsty. My tongue clove to the roof of my mouth. 1 stood it as long as l could, and then, fearing that I should be unable to talk when my turn came, I boldly stepped up beside the speaker, poured a tumbler three-quarters full of the liquid, raised it to my lips, and astounded my palate. Half of the con- tents of the glass had gone down the little red lane before my palate tele- graphed to my brain that something was wrong. However, 1 finished the glass and sat down. Then felt an insidious influence stealing along my blood and pulsing in my brain. My courage, which had become weakened, now was endued with new backbone. Icould have faced Numidian lion. 1 have had considera- ble experience as an orator since then, but never have equaled that attempt. The liquid in the pitcher was gin. New York Evening Sun.

Poet Riley's Key to Success.

"Do you want to succeed in life?' asked James Whitcomb Riley, the hoosier poet, of Nelly By, whose book of poems has been most fiatteringly received by the English public and press.
 ''I dc" she replied, with an earnestness that might have been felt block.
 Then dress well, ," he said. ''The secret of success is a good personal appearance Why, if 1 struck a town with only 50 cents in my pocket the first thing I'd do would be to go to barber shop. A bar Der shop is the intelligence office and newspaper of every town. So, you see, my first move would be to go there, I'd have shave and give the barber my 50 cents, and when he offered me back the change I'd tell him, with a knightly wave of the hand, Its all right He would tell everybody else, and it would help me to get an opening somewhere. But about dress. Now wouldn't you rather give a nickel to a beggar who was brushed and had a clean face than to one who was not? Any one would. When one goes to hotel doesn't the clerA take an inventory of his guest before he gives room, and doesn't the room always match the appearance? If l want to sell some verses the editor glances at me. If my clothes are shabby he thinks, o, he is in hard luck and will be satisfied at any price If my appear ance is that of prosperity he'll be afraid to offer me small price, or if not afraid at least ashamed. A woman should be even more particular. Her gowns give her place more than mans coat. Men always look at the womens dress, and in almost every instance judge accord ingly. To be successful one must look successful. Good clothing makes every thing easier. Take my advice if you want to succeed-never look shabby."- Chicago Herald.

The Lady of the Lamb,

This was festival peculiar to an an- cient English town and occurred in June, on the first Monday after Whitsun week. A fat lamb was provided and at given signal, with scores of lockers on to cheer, no doubt, the maidens of the town, having had their thumbs tied be- hind them, started in full chase after the harmless creature. Well frightened little wOolly coat must have been at such un- usual merriment and with such bevy of swift footed hunters after him. The damsel that with her mouth did catch and hold the lamb was declared 'Lady of the Lamb" After it was dressed it was borne aloft on a long pole to the public green and close behind followed the fair prize winner, attended by her companions in the race, while band of music kept step beside them. The next day came the grand feast, presided over by the Lady of the Banquet" who with great decorum and rare show of courtesy and with friendliest words pressed upon her guests the goodly pleasures of the table.-Harper's Bazar,

OVER TIE sALusTER.
Over the balustef bends a face,

Over the baluster bends face,
 Darlingly sweet and beguiling. Somebody stands in careless grace,
 And watches the picture smiling. The light burns dim in the hall below,
 Nobody sees her standing; Saying good night again, soft and slow,
 Half way up to the landing. Nobody, only the eyes of brown,
 Tender and full of meaning, That smile on the fairest face in town
 Over the baluster leaning. Tired and sleepy with dropping head,
 wonder why she fingers, And when all the good nights are said
 Why somebody holds her fingers Holds her fingers aud draws her down,
 Suddenly growing bolder Till her loose hair drops its masses browT Like mantle over his shoulder. Over the baluster soft hands fair
 Brush his cheeks like a feather; Bright brown tresses and dusky hair
 Meet and mingle together. There's question asked, there's a swift careSs She has flown like bird from the hallway; But over the baluster drops Yes
 That shall brighten the world for him alway.

Look Out for the Buzz Saw.

A folded sheet iron newspaper Gmita- tion), designed for those proving and dishonest persons who steal papers that do not belong to them, is an innovation that will be hailed with delight by all honest newsdealers. The paper contains q rat trap attachment and buzz saw, which is worked by concealed machin- cry, duly and properly wound up in the morning. A tramp or dishonest person bouncing oR the newspaper sets the ma chinery in motion; the iron jaws of the rat trap close over the hand of the thief, and the saw gets in it's fine work with the most discouraging effect on the kleptomaniac.- Francisco Argonaut

She Painted Her Linz

A very funny accident happened at .
 reception where a bright woman, who
 was out for the first time after a long
 illness, was the victim. Just before she
 left home some one said that she had
 better put some color on her lips, as they
 looked perfectly blue. A serpent in the shape of charming girl volunteered her mixture, one of carmine and glycerine (which, if any is to be used, is most de- sirable), and she carefully painted the invaid's mouth, putting the most color in the centre, to give it the desired rose
 bud effect. The newly painted was warned that she could eat or drink any thing cold, but of anything hot she was to beware. Remembering this, she declined going into the supper room, and was the center of a group of men, and having the largest kind of a time, when an imp of darkness, in the form of a footman, came along with a tray on which were cups of coffee and glasses of punch. Without thought the "ladye faire" took cup of coffee; she slipped 1t slowly, and then, horrors of horrors, made bad worse by wiping her mouth on tiny napkin which had been given her. She soon saw surprise on the faces of some of the men. One glance at the damask in her hand told her what was the matter, and with providential pres ence of mind she put it up to her lips again, leaned on the man nearest to her, whispered in untitled tones that she was ill and must go home. Out of the draw ing room, quickly she got on her wraps, and when she was helped to her carriage the man who had been her stand by could not resist telling her that he was sure she must be ill because her lips had grown so pale. However, the men were good fellows and they never told on her, though she swore by every one of the Buddhist gods and all of the Chinese devils that she'd submit to green lips again before she would get in such fix. -Bab in Philadelphia Times.

Drowning fbe DIjIIer

Drowning the miller" originated from the following fact: If the mill stream below the mill is damned or stopped the water is bonded back, and the mill becomes what the millers call tailed" ." There is too much water, the mill will not work, and tia miller is said to be drowned out" Hence, when too much of any one article is put into mixture, it is called ''drown- ing the miller. ."-Detroit Free Press

''Then I am to understand that syou have nothing to say to this marriage you decline 1t utterly:' demanded the comtesse, seated in the boudoir where we have seen her the night before, beside her the inevitable Albertine, putting in order the drawer of a chiffonier in which laces and ribbons were somewhat con- fused.
 Madame is very kind, '" responded the young woman, ''but marriage is not to my taste."
 ''You will, however, sooner or later, my good Albertine, be compelled to make a choice. Young girls like you are not intended for old maids"
 A singular smile that Mime. d'Aloys, who had turned aside, did not see crossed Albertine's thin lips.
 "Auguste is not only handsome boy, but has banked his savings, and I myself should do something for you" pursued the comtesse.
 Madame is benevolence itself"
 ''Not at all, but content with your service-sure of your probity, that is great deal" and Mime. d'Aloys recalled that among all her domestics Auguste and Albertine were the only ones she had been unable to suspect Reflect and reflect well before you say mo-"
 "I have reflected, madame"
 'Droll girl! But tell me; you have lover, perhaps, or fiance, over there in your own country, Do you desire to return to it!"
 The singular smile again crossed the cameriste's lips.

Electric Light Fishing.

The sloop Lou has gone on a novel
fishing expedition to last from one to
three months. An electric plact is on
board, and the fishing is to be done by
the aid of incandescent lights and net.
Experiments i'll the bay proved that
everything alive under the water is at
tracted by the glare of the light, and
thousands of fish of every description
can be taken in short time and with
little trouble.
-Four men were on board and the boat
steered for the banks near San Clement
island. The practical result of the first
voyage will be watched with much in
terest in this city, and if it is as success
full in deep water as the experiments in
the bay have been the projectors of the
enterprise are confident they will have
solved the problem of supplying all
southern California with cheap fish,

Danger i'm IA Tin Pan.

Mr.. John Siverly bought half pound
of powder, pair of shoes and new tin
pan in Moulton this week. He put tho
powder and shoes in the pan on his
wagon and started home, but before he
had gone two blocks from where he
made the purchase the powder exploded,
burning him terribly. His hat was
blown ten feet high, his clothes burned
almost entirely from his body, and his
face and arms burned as black as a
negro's. There were only two persons
on the wagon, neither of whom smoked
or had match about his person. The
conclusion is that the powder was ignited
from the rays of the sun, concentrated
TO focus by the tin pan. The sun was
shining very hotly, and being thrown
against the paper containing the powder
by the bright inner side of the new tin,
must have set the paper on fire.-Mobile

A Zig Icicle Falls.

Monday a loud noise and slight shak-
ing of the earth caused no little wonder
ment among the residents near the hill.
Investigation proved the cause to be an
ice slide. A small and innocent spring
issues from the side of one of the noun
tains, its waters spreading and flowing
over steep incline of rock. During the
winter months ice formed against this
wall of stone, increasing in size, until
one vast icicle, fully 20 feet in thickness
and 1000 feet i'll length, projecting into
the valley below.
From the warmth of the sun and its
own weight it released its hold and
Numbered down the mountain side,
carrying everything before it, even trees
three feet in diameter. Those who have
visited the place say that the foot of the
cliff presents mass of broken ice, trees,
limbs and earth fifty feet in height.
This is a repetition of occasional occur
rences in previous years, but on grander
scale.-Seattle (Wash.) Telegraph.

Rescued ssvent, yc.rs Ago.

Captain Nathaniel Richards, who has
been whaler all his life, until old age
forced him to give up the sea, was the
guest of the officers of the United States
frigate Constellation on Sunday evening
at dinner. Captain Richards is in his
ninety-fourth year, and what makes his
visit remarkable is that it was the Con-
stellation which rescued him from the
Chilians seventy years ago. In 1921 Cap
tain Richards sailed from Stonington on
a sealing voyage. He got around to the
coast of Chilli, was captured with others
while ashore, was taken to the interior
and put to work in the mines.
For six or seven months he toiled for
his masters, brutally treated and half
starved. At last an opportunity offered
for escape. He made for the coast, holly
pursued, but he reached there, and steal
ing boat he made long and perilous
voyage until the Constellation came into
view He was taken on board and ate
his first hearty meal since leaving his
own vessel. He remained on board until
the frigate returned home.
This incident came to the knowledge
of the officers of the vessel now in the
harbor, and they sent courteously
written invitation to the aged seaman re-
questing the pleasure of his company at
dinner. Captain Richards accepted,
and the Consultations steam launch
took him from the shore to the frigate,
where he was received with due honors.
He was seated at the post of honor, and
the officers made much of him. AS the
old gentleman's mind is clear and his
memory retentive, he did his share in
making the event an interesting one for
his entertainers. This is the first time
he has seen the vessel since it brought
him home in 1S21.-New London Cor.

A Sugar Eat I'm Midsummer.

They had great times the other day in
the quaint little village of Savoy, up in
the Berkshire hills. Last spring Farmer
Deming covered an immense snowdrift
with hemlock boughs and sawdust, and
a few days ago it was uncovered and
utilized in monster maple sugar ''eat. /"
The snow was as clean and white as
when it fell, and generous quantities of
the lucious bi-we mean maple sugar
were served to every one at the low price
of twenty-five cents. Fun relgned SUI
preme, and every one who has ever been
present at genuine New England sugar
''eat' will regret that he was not one of
Farmer Deming's guests the other day.
