Afraid OF raLinr the disease.

The late Fl. L. GUIDE, superintendent
Of the city railroad, was one of the most
genial and large hearted men In San
Francisco. One day he contracted a Sc
we're cold which turned into quick con-
sumption. He consulted his physician,
who told him that lis complaint was Of
little Importance and would pass away
in day or two with little care and
rest, but realized that he was already
beyond medical aid and that change
of climate might do him some good. He
was accordingly ordered to Auburn,
which is the resort Of consumptives
from all over California. The doctor
was surprised day or so after to see
him back again, and inquired what was
the matter. "Well," he said, "there was
30 much coughing around me that al
most thought l had consumption, and
came back fearing might possibly con-
tract it." The following day the poor
fellow was dead.--San Francisco Argo-

The demand for Roquefort cheese has
become so great that trickery now plays
part In the ripening process. The
peasants have learned that slime is
money" and they have found that bread
crumbs mixed with the curd cause those
green streaks Of moldipess which de-
note that the cheese is fit for the mar
ket, to appear much more readily than
was formerly the case, when 1t was left
to do the best it could for itself with
the aid Of subterranean atmosphere.
This Is not exactly cheating; it is COM
mercial enterprise, the result of com
petition and other circumstances too
strong for poor human nature. In
cheesemaking breadcrumbs are found
to be cheap substitute for time, and it
is said that those who have taken to beer
brewing in this region have found that
box, which here is the commonest Of
shrubs, is cheap substitute for hops.
The notion that brass pins are stuck into
Roquefort cheese to make it turn green
Is founded on fiction. Temple Bar.

Two days after leaving Port Said,
Egypt, we had some very unsettled
weather. Looking southwark l OBJ
served what appeared to be q small
black cloud rising and coming steadily
toward our steamer. When | looked
again few minutes later, instead of
seeing the cloud | saw some hundreds
of swallows. They few around our
steamer several times, as though unde-
cided whether to stay until the storm
passed. At last, just before dark, sew
eral Of them alighted on the stayrim of
our main funnel, which was soon one
black mass of birds. The rain came
down in torrents, and it was pitiful to
see those frail creatures struggling with
the wind and rain.
Those of them that could not find q
roosting place soon commenced to fall
on deck quite helpless. picked up all
those that fell on the bridgedeck and
lodged them in the chartroom. Those
birds that fell ON the foredeck were
sheltered in the forecastle by the crew.
The next day came in bright and clear,
with light westerly breeze, and all the
swallows took fight just at sunrise, fly
ing in northwesterly direction. The
captive birds were soon set free, and
they followed in the wake Of the others.
may say that all the birds we had were
able to fly except one, and it died during
the day. Several dead ones were found
on the decks at daylight. These birds
had beautiful plumage, and fancy they
looked rather smaller than the swallows
have seen in England. The captive
birds had golden brown feathers just
above and below the beak, and white
breast back, black feathers with a
blush tinge; wings and tail brown, and
four white spots across.-New Castle

Mrs. Carlyle, in her journal, thus
describes Sir Charles Gavan Duffy as he
looked in 1914 during visit he paid to
.'the sage Of Chelsea" "Mr. Duffy quite
took my husbands fancy, and mine also
to certain extent. With the coarsest
of human faces, decidedly as like a

that | should get to think beautiful"
Sir Charles Gavan Duffy himsek tells
this story: An artist named Cromley
painted his portrait and bestowed on
him dreamy poetic face which might
have passed for Shelley's. The portrait
was shown to Daniel O'Connell by the
artist in presence of Duffy. "Isnot that
very like Duffy" said Cromley. "H'm,"
said O'Connell, looking from the por-
trait to the original, 81 wish Duffy was
very like that."-London Star.

HOW one Mosaulte Does II.

A mosquitoes bill is an elaborate con-
trivance and consists Of two sharp saws
and lance inclosed in sheath which
is also employed as pump. The saws
are bony, but flexible, and the teeth are
near the end which is pointed. The
lance is perhaps the most perfect instrn-
ment known in the world of minute
things. 1t is first thrust into the flesh
and the opening is enlarged by the saws,
which play beside it until the sheath can
be inserted. The saving is what causes
irritation when mosquito is biting.

A man tells how to get earthworms
without digging for them. Take q
strong stick four or FIVE feet long and
sharp at one end and go to some locality,
such as the back of barn, where the
worms are sure to be plentiful. Drive a
stick four or five inches into the ground
with hammer or stone and then begin
to twist it with rotary motion. Every
few minutes hit the top rap to drive
the point farther into the ground and
keep on twisting. In five minutes the
worms will begin crawling out of their
holes, and all you have to do is to pick
them up. and put them in your can,

A few days after this the long siege of Petersburg and Richmond ended in the capture of both, and when, April .9-l2, our schoolboy friends, then but little over nineteen years of age, were drawn up with the conquering legions of the north to witness that most joy- full yet pathetic event, the surrender of Lees army, they were saluted by their troopers, one as Capt. Leslie and the other as Lieut.. Ainsie, though neither had had time to get, and, in fact, never did get, the uniform of his rank.
 Gen. Lees army had been by this time more than decimf1ted by deser- tions-if, indeed, that may be called de- Sertion which was a simple returning to their desolated homes of men who, worn out by war and suffering, saw, even sooner than did their commander, that the cause, for which they had SO bravely fought, was hopelessly lost little knowing then that from its ruins should arise re=umited and regenerated nation, the wonder and glory of mankind!
 All the formalities had been compiled with; the exhausted, yet, doubtless, secretly rejoicing, private soldiers of the moribund confederacy had marched out in funeral-lil1e procession and piled their arms; their dejected officers had individually signed that historic parole which assured the peace of the coun- try, and by no word, look. taunt or gibe, during all these solemn proceed ings, was .either rank or file once in- suited or further humiliated by their generous conquerors-the catizen-sol- diery ofthat greatmnion their>own valor had preserved.
 Herbert Leslie and Fred Ainslie, their hearts filled with devout grati- which, being now both officers, they once more occupied together, when an orderly entered and, saluting, said: Captain, confederate colonel desires admittance, but gives no name."
 "Well,, orderly, ask the gentleman to come in without ceremony," replied Herbert. and, stooping his lofty crest, Sydney Temple walked into the tent!
 With a.simultaueous a. shout of joy the young men sprang up and fairly hugged their old friend, while, in the first ex- tolerance of their delight, they could only say, over and over again: "Oh, Syd, dear old Syd!"
 The youthful colonel (he-was not yet twenty-one years of age9 was pro foundly affected, and his pale, high bred face, though sweetly grave and tender, showed deep traces of care and suffering, as he gently said: Well, dear boys, we meet once more in our old-time fashion, and with no dread before us to mar our friendship.

 The union officers glanced at each other in swift comprehension, and Her bert rejoined: You are not heartbroken. then, at the result, Sydney?"
 'No, my dear fellow, I now believe it is all for the best. Of course, my sec tional pride is greatly humbled, and my grief over the myriad noble lives sacrificed will, think, remain with me forever. Still, cannot help feeling a wider national pride in the achievement of the federal armies.
 ''We have been beaten, not by for eign foe, but by our own countrymen, Americans true as ourselves. We took different views of duty. That is all Each section has so grandly fought for it's own ideas as to gain the lasting re- spect of the other, and when the nat ural bitterness and humiliation of de- feat are past, the south, after a greater or less period of depression, will rise, under system of free labor, to a state of higher prosperity and civilization than she has ever yet known" Nothing could exceed the surprise and joy with which the loyalist soldiers listened to these sentiments of their noble friend, and each again grasped one of his hands, as Fred almost rever- ently asked: "And how long, Sydney, have you held these views?''
 "Well, boys, you know that, despite py exaggerated ideas of state rights.s 1 was always an abolitionist. Our fam fly has not owned slave since l was. born, and I may say that my conxer- sion dates from the passing of the con stitutional amendment. I, yes and thousands of the southerners, then saw what the real issue was, and, although I could not desert my countrymen in the hour of their despair, dared no longer honestly pray for the success of our arms"

 "Yes, yes, no doubt, good luck well improved; but, boys, have a proposi- tion to make. I am going out home this evening and want you to come along and stay a few days.

Instantly there issued from the tree a roaring noise resembling escaping steam.

The occurrence was so sudden and mysterious as to put Smith and two companions to flight.
