Other Peoples Privileges.

1.-THE presumptuousness of some people
is past endurance" remarked Il lady recent
ly in conversation. Il allowed my little
girl to spend an afternoon with a friend
and when she returned her little ears had
been pierced and a pair of earrings hung in
them. looked upon it as an unwarranted
piece of imrertinence and the present of
the rings did not reconcile me to it in the
least"
THAT reminds me-" said another lady,
"of my experience with meddlers-for |
cannot call them anything else. sent my
little daughter out to walk with a friend,
who, because the child complained of a
slight toothache, took her to dentist and
had two of her baby teeth pulled. When
demonstrated she said she had paid the

fact that anybody dare NEEDLE with my
privileges that l regretted. Who could

Lamb Gourd of Samara.

In book called ''The Duke of Holstein's
Travels Into Persia and Muscovy," pub
lished in 1886, there is an account of curl
GUS vine product called the lamb gourd,"
which runs as follows: "In the neighbor
hood of Samara, Russia, there grows a
gourd which closely resembles a lamb in
all its members. 1t changes place in grow
ing as far as the stalk will reach, and
wheresoeyer it turns the grass withers and
dies. This change of the gourd plant t."

say that when it ripens the stalk withers,
and that the outward rind of the gourd is
then covered with sort of wool, which
they use instead of fur"
Scaliger also makes mention of the lamb
gourd, and says that it grows until the
grass fails and that it then dies for want OF
nourishment He also says that the wolf
is the only animal that will feed upon it,

Cure for SeasiCIxness.

A correspondent says that the drink
ing of salt water is perfect cure for
seasickness, though it makes the drinker
very miserable for few inmates after
he takes the cure. The sailor who rec
commended it to the sufferer in question
accounted for it by saying the stomach
on board ship is in very sensitive state,
and that the salt water pickles it so
that it gets hardened to conditions which
had previously revolted it.
If that were the explanation, it must
be very rapid and miraculous kind of
picking process that is effected by pint
of salt water, not, in all probability,
long retained. But whatever the ration
ale of the supposed sailors remedy"
may be, any quick remedy for so fright
full distress is worth trying, and the
assertion of the sailors is said to be that
it never fails.-St. James Gazette.

Quite an audible smile at the expense of

was understood that the members were to

Young Cumso, being the son of mil
lionaire and golden light of the Cresus,
enjoyed the freedom of the club salons,
and having been able to find no masquerade
dress quite up to his fancy he had con-
cluded to appear in his usual attire, and

Where Irvine Material Comes From.

Most of the raw material used by the
cordage trust in the manufacture of binder
Irvine comes from Yucatan. 1t is made
from the fiher of plant of the cactus
species that grows there in great luxuri-
ance. 1t is gathered and dried in Yucatan
and shipped here in bales. 1t costs about
four cents a pound. Manufactured into
binder Irvine it is worth about eight cents
Most of the hcmpused in the manufacture
of rope comes from the Philippine islands.
The aggregate weight of the rope and
Irvine used yearly in this country is some
thing over 100, 900 tons.-New York Herald.
Why the Opening Was Delayed.
The opening of the recent church con-
gress at Rhythm, Wales, was delayed for
half an hour by the nonappearance of
the Archbishop of Canterbury, and every
body wondered what had happened. The
archbishop had lost his crozier. This
emblem was locked up in a leathern case,
and was carried off by a servant, who
thought it was gun, and locked it up
in a room full of breechloaders and car
tridges. Whether the congress would
have been adjourned if it had not been
discovered is question which does not
call for immediate reply.-Christian
