THE COOK HAD NERVE.

He Soon Became "a Chef
Not so very long 6 a large band 81
cattle were resting up Il few miles i.n.!
Vinita, in the Indian Territory, heior"
being driven across the line to kGus
The boys belonging to the outfit were Il
particularly hard lot, and in six week.
no less than five cooks had left the cam
in disgust, as no matter what they dll
or how well the food was prepared tie
men were sure to growl. The head boss
was in a quandary when the fifth m.l
left, us he knew he would have II hu-,I
job to find another.
To his surprise, however, soon after
sunrise next morning a short, sinew5
son of Erin walked into camp, and, after
lighting his pipe, sat down on a dilapi-
dated gripsack and inquired if a cook
was wanted. 1t did not take the boss
long to make a bargain with the man,
who said his name was Macmillan. He
was o 10 installed in his position, slowed
his grip away, and after a wash in the
creek began the operation of getting
dinner. The boys sized up the new ar.
rival as the beans were dished out, but
said nothing.
Next morning, however, the fun be
gan. One man asked Mac where he
learned to fry pork, another remarked
that he forgot to put the coffee in the
pot, but he was deaf &c all until Joe
Taylor, the biggest man in the camp,
said he would be hanged if he could eat
such biscuit as those, and if there was
nc improvement in the grub at noon the
cook would hear something drop.
At the first mention of the biscuit the
pipe fell from Macs mouth, and he
stood listening until Taylor had finished.
Then, walking quietly over to the wag-
on he fshed out a pair of Colts revolv-
ers, and marching up to the GROWER
shouted, You amt got no appetite,
but you sit down and eat them biscuit,
or I'll plug you before you can winkr
There was n wicked look in Macs eyes
as he spoke, and Taylor saw the cook
meant business. He had n pistol in his
belt, but he also knew that before he
could draw it he would be a dead man.
EAT them biscuits" came the order
again, while the rest of the Grove sat
around with a grin, taking in the fun.
There was no help for it, so Taylor sat
down, and before Mac let him go he had
eaten every biscuit in the pan, and was
stuffed so full he could hardly breathe.
II thought you would soon find your
appetite" said Mac. Then turning to
the rest of the boys, he asked, Flows
the coffeeI' Every one replied hat it
was fine, and all agreed that the pork
was cooked to n turn. Mac staid with
the outfit several months, and when he

A Bristol storekeeper donned a white
duck coat, and was so pleased with the
effect that he ordered all of his employees
to wear white duck coats during bust
ness hours. Rather than obey the order
two of the clerks quit work. Neverthe-
less, uniforming goes on among store
girls, judges, railroad hands, walters
and indeed in almost every occupation
where it is desirable that the public
should recognize the employees. The
mistake of confusing a customer for a
clerk has led to rather embarrassing sit
uations in many a store, and clerks who
object to being uniformed have the sat
isfaction of knowing that without their
uniforms they cannot be distinguished
from their employers. Philadelphia In

OF late years there has sprung up a
new science, which seeks to investigate
the natural history of the criminal. 1t
regards the criminal as n variety of the
human species which has degenerated
physically and morally. The most emf
nent living authority on this subject
thus describes the two great criminal
classes: 1.-The murderer" he says, "has
a cold, concentrated look; the nose is
often aquiline or hooked, always large;
the ears are long; the jaws powerful;
the cheek bones widely separated; the
hair is crisp and abundant; the canine
teeth well developed and the lips thin;
often the eye appears bloodshot, and a
rvo contraction on one side of the
face uncovers the canine teeth, producing
a sardonic effect"
The thief, he asserts, has less brain ca
pacity than the assassin; he has remark
able mobility of countenance; the eye is
small and restless; the eyebrows thick;
the nose fiat ard the forehead low and
retreating. Another writer on the same
topic declares that one visiting a prison
can, by the aid Of these outline descrip-
tons, distinguish those condemned for
murder from those convicted of theft

Those who are troubled with offensive
perspiration would do well when talking
a bath to use a preparation made as fol-
lows; Take of soap powder and powdered
borax each one-half ounce; essence of
bergamot, six drains; oil of lemon and
oil of neroli, of each two drains; oil of
rosemary, thirty drops; altar of roses.
five drops.
Or, if this is too expensive, the drug
gist can use the soap and borax and sub
stitute cheaper perfumes. The oils should
be well rubbed with these bases in a
mortar and put into n bottle, which
should be kept corked and in a cool place.
One-half to one tablespoonful may be-
added to IN ordinary bathtub full of
water. This will be sufficient for clean
illness; at the same time it will prove an
admirable ~deodorizer. Boston Herald.

In the journal of the Bombay Natural
History society Lieutenant H. L. Barnes
gives some interesting particulars about
the house sparrows of western India. AT
Deessa he found that a pair had built
their nest in the antlers of a sambur in
the veranda. Another pair had appro-
priated a soap box in the bathroom, and
although their nest was destroyed sew
eral times they persisted in building n
fresh one till they were left alone out Of
compassion.
A third pair actually built in a de-
serted bird cage hanging against the
wall, and there they reared their brood,
in spite of the fact that the cage was
often taken down and shown to visitors.
Once the eggs were stolen and the birds
made such a fuss as led the residents to
find them. Lieutenant Barnes also
states that these sparrows attack their
own image in a looking glass, and will
fight it all day long, "only leaving off
when darkness sets in, TO begin the
battle next day" 1t was found necessary
to cover up the mirrors.-ManchesteI

1t does not pay to fit up a shop with
poor machinery if you want good work,
nor do you want to put bad workmen in
charge of your expensive tools. You are
doing things by halves, introducing a
bull into your china shop, and playing
with fire in a manner that is certain to
result in burned fingers. Good machines
will never do good work in the hands of
poor mechanics, and although a good
workman will often do wonders with
the poorest of tools, the combination is
not economical, and is usually unsatis-
factory to employer and employed. Good
tools operated by competent mechanics
last longest, do the best work, produce
in every way the most satisfactory re-
suits, and are always cheapest in the
long run.-Safety Valve.

Many examples are known of women
dressing as men, but until lately no case
has been known of a man going about
disguised as a woman A man named
Signol, seventy-two years old, employed
as a cook, was taken to the hospital of
Saint Antoine, Paris, suffering from gas
tritis. Mistaken, on account of his
dress, for a woman, he was taken to the
ward reserved for members of the weak
er Sex. When they found out the mis-
take he was put into another ward.
The strangest thing about the whole
case is that Signol says that he never
wore male attire excepting on the day
he was examined by the conseil de re-
vision in order to determine whether he
was fit for military service. When he
was seventeen years old he went as a
servant girl to a farm in Lin-sur-Mer.
He remained there eleven years. He
learned to cook at Caen and went to
Paris, where he was employed as cook
for forty years either in private families
or in boys schools. -Paris Letter.

Ever since the story of Robert Bruce
and the spider that insect has been pro-
verbally held up to view as an example
IF ~pertinacfous skill. An attempt to
establish instinct as a guide to reason is,
however, n fallacy. The setting hen is
an example of instinct, not maternal
constancy. This perseverance of spiders
may have been an encouragement to
Robert Bruce, but it is often a discour-
agement in engineering work. In sink
ing plumb lines down shafts for middle
headings in tunneling in order to obtain
an alignment for the tunnel, the accuracy
Of the work is often seriously impaired
by spiders attaching their webs to the
lines and drawing them toward the
walls, often with sufficient tension to in
troduce material errors in the position of
the plumb bobs.-Cor. Engineering

And. wandering thither, / have found

And stacked in many n golden mound.

And DER the sunsets dying rose
The first great white star throbs and gluws-
And from the clear east, red OF glare.
The ascendant harvest moon floats fair
Through dreamy deeps and purple air.
And in among the slanted sheaves
a tender light It's glamour weaves,
A lovely light that lures, deceiyes-
Then swayed by Fancy's dear command.
