Why the Driver Didn't Swear.

Everybody who is familiar with West
street knows that at times the jam there
is something tremendous 1t was in q
crush of this kind that the driver of o
Belt line car found himself the other day.
He was skillful and efficient driver and
he never failed to take the fullest advan-
tage of every opportunity, but in ten min
utes he had moved but little more than s
block Notwithstanding the difficulties By
which he was surrounded the driver re-
manned perfectly composed. Wheel hubs
ratified along the ribs Of the car, wagon
poles flashed in the air, the whole street
was in tumult, but the car driver kept
calm, and, 10 the wonder Of those who had
admired his watchful alertness he didn't
swear
ut reminds me-" said a man with q
cheerful countenance who sat in the right
hand rear corner seat, ''of a story that
read once about the most profane man in
Albany His swearing was so curious and
striking that people used TO stand around
Just to hear him H was a teamster. He
had in his wagon one day load Of pota-
toes loose At the foot of long hill which
he was about 10 climb a number Of young
men fixed the tailboard of the wagon so
that the potatoes would drop out gradu-
ally and be scattered from the bottom TO
the top of the hill. Naturally they ex-
pected that under such provocation his
swearing would be unique and dazzling
but, as matter of fact, he didn't swear at
all When be looked back from the top Of
the hill and saw the trail of potatoes ex-
tending for quarter of mile, he remained

The Lotus Eaters.

According to Homer, the lotus eaters
we're people who lived on the northern
coast of Africa. visited by Ulysses in his
wanderings, and who endeavored to detain
his companions by giving them the lotus
10 eat. Whoever ate of this fruit wished
never to depart. The Arabs call the fruit
Of the lotus the fruit of destiny" which
they believe is to be eaten in paradise
The lotus is shrub of two or three feet
high, and its fruit, which is produced in
great abundance, is drupe of the size of
wild plum, which has u pleasant sweet
taste. The name lotus has also been given
10 several beautiful species of water lily
especially to the blue water lily and the
Egyptian water lily. In the mythology of
the Hindoos and the Chinese the lotus, as
a flower, plays q distinguished part. The
Hindoo deities of the different sects are
often represented seated on throne of its
shape, or on the expanded flower The
color in southern India is white or red, the
last color tabled to be derived from the
blood of silva when Kamadeva, o. Cupid
wounded him with the love arrow 1t
symbolized the world, the meru, or resi-
dence of the gods, and female beauty
Among the Chinese the lotus had a SINH
lar reputation and poetic meaning, being
especially connected with Buddha, and
symbolizing female beauty, the small feet
of their women being called kinleen, or
golden lilies"

The Hungry Adjutants.

The following occurred at the ChiHsurrah
barracks when the old Twenty regi-
ment was quartered there. The soldiers,
after their dinner, got two MARROW bones
and tied them together with stout string
about twenty yards long. The marrow
bones were then thrown out separately TO
two expectant adiutants. One bird seized
and swallowed one bone, and the other
bird caught and got outside Of the other
bone.
The two birds then few up toward their
usual perches on the barrack roof, but a.

as they pulled against one another and
neither would part with his bone, they
finally came topping TO the ground, 20 the

two birds were on the ground there was &

CANDLEMAS.
Folklore of One of the Ancient Feass
Days Which Falls in February.

Folklore of One of the Ancient Feass
Days Which Falls in February.
If weather folklore is to be believed tho
second day of February, otherwise Can.
dlemas, is critical day, for there is ira
dition which obtains in most parts of
Europe, and which finds expression in this
country in the following quatrain:
II Candlemas day be fair and bright,
Winter viii have another fight;
But If Candlemas day bring clouds and rain,
Winter is gone, and will not come again.
Or, as the Scotch put it;
If CandIemas day be fair and clear
Theren be twa winters in the year.
While yet another English coupIet says:
When the winds IN the east on CandIeras day.
There it will stick to the second of May.
With this day all Christmas festivities
should come to an end. Herrick's Hes
perides," so often quoted. has several
things to tell US as to ceremonies for Can.
dlemas-notably, that now are we to take
down all the holly and mistletoe, the rose
mary and bays, with which we decorated
our houses at Christmas. Another GER
emory to be observed is to "kindle the
Christmas brand, and then until sunset
let it burn" being careful however, to
keep portion Of it with which to ''teend"
ii. e., hght) the log next Yuletide. In con-
clusion, to remind us that the time of
Christmas feasting and good cheer is over,
be says:
End now the white loaf and the pie,
And let all sports with Christmas die.
Candlemas has been observed by the
Roman Catholics as the feast of the Puri-
ication Of the Virgin Mary; it is the day
on which all candles for use in the church
during the ensuing year are blessed Qhence
its namel Candles so blessed were once
supposed to possess a virtue sufficiently
powerful to brighten away devils and to be
q charm against thunder and lightning
This religious ceremony was prohibited in
England by an order of the council" in
l548 In ancient days it was found conven-
lent to adapt ancient feast days and hoG-
days to the use of the church, and Candle
mas seems to have been one of them. taking
the place of the lupercalia of the Romans
Venerable Bede says; 1T is happy for the
church to have changed the Illustrations of
the heathens, held in the month of Febru-
airy around the fields, for the professions
with hallowed candles in remembrance of
That divine light wherewith Christ illu
minated the world, whence he was styled
by Simeon light to Tighten the Gentiles."
Although this day is generally known as
Candlemas day, it is also known in differ
Int places by several other names as Holt
day of st. Simeon, Christ's Presentation,
and in the north of England it is called
Wives Feast Day

Rules for the Care of the Teeth.

A faithful observance of the following
hints on the care Of the teeth is earnestly
advised:
Cleanliness is of absolute Importance in
the care of the teeth. and its neglect can
not be remedied by dental skill
Thoroughly cleanse the teeth each night
before retiring and on rising in the morn
ing. Never neglect the first If you do the
last.
The articles necessary to accomplish this
are the toothbrush, pick and silk or linen
floss, together with good deDtifrice.
The brush, to do its work well, should be
given an upward motion on the lower and
downward motion on the upper teeth, as
well as backward and forward, and no por-
ton of any tooth should escape its action
4 well trimmed qnill pick should be
used, especially after eating.
Children's teeth should be cleansed daily
by some competent person from the time
they begin TO eat solid food.
For tartar, regularity. decay, discolora-
ton and other special conditions consult q
competent dentist.
Compliance with these suggestions not
only improves the appearance of the teeth.
but it will diminish the necessity for dental
operationS-R. c. Cornwell, ID. d. s., IN

The change tends TO confusion, but none
