uumor from the Isle Of Man.

In the Isle of Man, IS il Scotland,
much of the humor depends upon odd
turns Of expression. "If aver | get to
heaven pass'n' parson), said an old
parish clerk, it'll be under your patron
age" The notion here is funny enough.
giving vivid glimpse of the future state
as depicted by u man who had seldom
been outside his own parish. Or the
humor may consist merely in the unex-
pected use of some particular word.
A queer old character who had been
given new muffler and kept it carefully
wrapped up in paper instead OF using it,
replied to all remOnstrances, I'm not
goin fur TO make a hack Of it at all
Upon another occasion he remarked to >
visitor, who had been much benefited il,
health by residence in the island, " or
iss a much batter gentleman now till 20
wass when you came" with which may
be compared the courtly ministers "wh.,
putteth her ladyship's trust in thee. -

One Way to Fix Up an Old Room.


II you are repairing an old house and
wish to have one or two striking and ef-
fective features, choose room for den
and have the whole Of windowless side
finished with drawers, cupboards, hooks
and pigeon holes Shut in some Of these
with stained glass doors, drape others
with real silk or blue and white porce-
lain tinted crapy goods. Leave gal
lery along the top for busts, pottery or
unframed paintings. Cover the floor
with mating ard rugs. II posi- bic
place low seats in the windows for plants
or books. Select wrought iron frames
for hanging lamps, with copper candle
stick placed here and there for pick up
use.
An old portable clothes closet may be
converted into a corner shrine for such a
room by being covered with dark red
plush, in which is kept some family heir
looms or beautiful vase. A few odd
bamboo pieces of furniture will best har-
nonize with the rest of the room, or stiff
carved chairs in dark mahogany. An
old fashioned desk, such as was in con-
slant use in New England years age, or
any antique table or stand will find a
suitable abiding place here.-Brooklyn

The iSan binO.

In the old church Of Ara Celia, near
the top of the capitol steps, in the
city Of Rome, is a little treasury room
where the sacred vestments are kept.
and where, in a wonderful little respOs-
itory, lies wooden doll called the sacred
bambino, representing the Holy Child
Jesus. So strong is the superstition with
regard to this child that III cases of i'll
ness it is sent for and taken i'll great state
by some dignitary of the church to the
bedsides Of sufferers who believe in its
miraculous power to heal and bless. In
this old church, around the affairs, are
the offerings Of those who claim TO have
been healed Of their infrlnities by the
miraculous power Of this wonderful
child
Here are repetitions in wax of manned
limbs; pictures of people rescued from
burning houses; of children who fell
from windows, receiving no harm; Of
men drowning in swollen streams, saved
by the sight of this little child appearing
on the brink Before the altar may
always be seen a kneeling throng, for the
hearts Of great many Of the people have
opened and taken in a love for and a
faith in this wonderful little wooden doll.
At times there have been rumors Of the
bambino having been stolen, or, because
of its displeasure at the sins Of the peO-
pie, having withdrawn itself from sight

The Kind Hearted Apple Woman.

There is an old apple woman who does
business on a Wall street corner who de-
serves medal for one of the best natured
dispositions in this town. The other day
a coal wagon, one of the big ones drawn
by three horses hitched abreast, drove
up to her corner and slowly and clumsi-
ly backed up against the curb. Then the
driver swung his horses around so as to
give another team as chance to get
through the street. Round came the
heavy animals, not with very much
speed, but with momentum which
proved disastrous to the proprietress of
the stand and her goods. Down she
went, while good share of her apples
went tumbling after her.
Luckily she was not much hurt, but
as she reclined ON the pavement she saw
one of the horses add insult to injury by
opening vast mouth and closing it upon
the biggest apple on the stand. Then
up rose the old woman in hot haste.
But not to seek vengeance. Instead, she
picked up two more apples and hospit-
ably handed them to the two animals
which hadn't helped themselves. And
what is more, she looked as if she hadn't
grievance against anybody in the
world.-New York Times.

The Selection of Fruit.

Care should be exercised in the selec-
ton of fruit, as it is just as easy and as
cheap to buy good fruit as the bad stock.
Never buy cat in the bag; or in other
words, fruits or nuts that are placed in
packages by the dealers, for the chances
are against the purchaser receiving the
same quality as is exposed to view. For
instance, the wagon fruit peddler's profit
is derived, not from the sale of sho~t
measures, but from the disposal of the
bad and poor stock which he has. The
peddler will search the wholesale market
through for a damaged stock Of grapes
or bananas which he can purchase cheap.
After an hour or two Of mysterious work
he has his wagon or handcart properly
arranged for appearance OF the public
thOroughfares.
The first customers are almost sure to
find themselves cheated after examining
their purchases on their arrival at home.
The good stock is held to attract the
late trade. If you watch peanut ped
.dler just after he has located on a corner
for business you will see him with a
paper sack in hand picking out the dis
colored nuts, which will go to the first
customers, and so it is with ali huck-
sters. Pick your own goods and then
you are sure not to be cheated.-Inter-
view in St. Louis GlCbe-DemOcrat.

Nalue of Cold SDnnpinr.

Accustom yourself to the use Of spong-
ing with cold water every morning on
first getting out Of bed. 1t should be
followed by a good deal of rubbing with
wet towel. This has considerable
effect in giving tone to the skin and
maintaining a proper action in it, and
thus proves safeguard to the injurious
influence Of cold and sudden changes of
temperature.
Sir Ashley. Cooper, the celebrated Eng
lish physician, said: The methods bv
which have preserved my own health
are temperance, early rising and spong
ing the body with cold water immedi-
ately after getting out of bed, a practice
which l have adopted for thirty years
without ever having taken cold

Health of the Survivors of the War.

While the health Of some men have
been improved by their military service
during the war, even TO the preservation
OF lives that would have been lost had
the owners remained exclusively in civil
life, the health of the average veteran
has been deteriorated by his service, and
that he suffers more from illness and has
a somewhat less expectation Of life than
other men of his age. This conclusion.
based as it is upon an examination of The
census data for small part of the cC,.n-
try. Is provisional one only.-Dr. John

Where Sapoleon's Friend was Fsund.

Where Sapoleon's Friend Was Pound.
On the voyage in a frigate from Alex
andria 10 France Napoleon said 10 those
who were in his confidence:
Il am taking two very different
chances. If this vessel is captured by
the English and an thrown into an
English prison | shall be in the eyes of
France common deeerter, general
who left his- army without authority to
DO 50.
But If reach France in safety, sub
due the factions, take command of the
army and carry out my plans for the na-
tons good, shall win the blessings of
our fellow countrymen.
Il will not be taken by IN English
vessel. If we encounter one we will
fight as long as possible, and when the
enemy begins to board US we must sink
the ship"
This desperate plan was received in
silence and with evident disapproval, ex-
cept by Gaspard Monge, who said, when
it appeared that no one else vas going to
speak:
Eyes, general, you have stated the
situation exactly. II what you suggest
happens we must sink the ship"
Il was waiting for thisproof of friend
ship, and | charge You with executing
the plan," replied Napoleon.
Not long afterward an alarm was
given, and every one hastened to his post
to defend the frigate against an ap-
preaching English vessel. 1t was soon
discovered, however, that the vessel was
not English nor unfriendly.
"Where is Monge" inquired Napoleon.

Monge was found at his post by the
powder magazine with lighted lantern
in his hand.-Youth's Companion.

What fhA TnmA La

The ancient Romans, at whose sump-
tuous banquets truftles played an i'm
portant role, supposed that their exist
ence was one of the material results OF
thunder. More modern botanists have
classed it as a species Of mushroom, but
1t can scarcely be termed such. To be
exact, the trufhe is tuberculous fungus,
sort of morbid extravasation Of vege-
table sugars analogous to oak balls or
nut gals, and doubtless originating, as
these latter, by the sting of an insect

Capt Pitlnan to Continue to Investigate ut
the Frankford Arsenal:
Captain Pitman Of the ordnance corps of the
army has been transferred to the Frankford
nalPhiladelphia, for the purpose of continu-
ing the work of investigating the merits and
qualities Of smoksless powder. This matter has
received the attention Of the War Department
for couple Of years past, Is it has Of the
principal European powers, and while nothing
very definite has been reached as yet, it is
evident that this country does not intend to be
behind any Of the others in this important
matter.
Fraukford arsenal is the principal factory for
making small arms for the use OF the army and
Capt. Pitman, who has made Q speciality of
chemistry and is regarded as an expert, has
been ordered by Gen. Flagler, chief of ord
nance to take charge of the laboratory that is
connected with the arsenal.
He has been supplied with samples Of the
various smokeless powders which have been
obtained by the United States, and as o pre-
liminary step will analyze these, the compon-
emit parts of most Of them being . secret, with
view to determining which of them Is the
best When he has determined this be will ex-
pertinent with q vieN to ultimately obtaining q
powder that will have all the desired qualities.
What the department aims at in the matter
Ia to obtain . powder which will give high
velocity with CONSEQUENT low trajectory, with
out straining the piece, and which will not de-
teriorste through the lapse Of time and climatic
influences To do this 1t Is necessary to obtain
a powder that will not burn too rapidly, as the
result of too rapid ignition is the expenditure
of the greater portion Of the force of a dis
charge upon the chamber of the gun, causing
II in many instances to burst
An officer Of the ordnance corps, in CONVEX
sation with star reporter this morning, said
that the assignment OF Capt Pitman was
simply an act in line with the policy which the
past. II II not time yet, he said, to make
public any results Of the experiments
that have been made 20 far, nor was il pos.
sibls TO say that they have been met with sno.
