"Old Ironsides."

If the portrait Of some grandam who
lived in the early days of the century
could ''materialize," and, stepping down,
take her place beside the tailor made
girl" of today, the difference would be
no more marked than that between the
good ship Constitution and modern
"ocean greyhound" Nevertheless, in
spite of the topheaviness of the old ship
as compared with the new, if the two
sailed down our harbor there would be
no necessity for an order of "Hats off"
and our heartbeats would tell us for
which rang out the "three times three"
Well does this great foremother of
ours command both love and reverence.
Stanch was she with the strength of oak
from the forest primeval; unwavering
ever as the pole star in the path of duty,
and like true woman of the olden
time, ere rights" and suffrage" had
lifted their heads from the neither chaos,
she obeyed her master, while he, true
and brave man of the olden time that he
was, loved and honored her.-Jane de
Forest Shelton in Harper's.

She Appealed to His Patriotism.

A friend of mine has "polly" that is
very talkative. Sunday he put the bird
on the parlor window sill. Polly pretty
soon caught sight of a policeman who
was just passing by, who was also a
member of the A. o. H., and shouted at
him, "What hatp The policeman
turned around, and seeing no one near
turned to go away. No sooner had he
turned his back than Polly again shout
ed at him. This time Polly was caught.
The policeman drew his club, and shak-
ing it at Polly, said; "It's you is it? It's
a good thing you're polly, for if it
wasn't for your color I'd shoot ye."-

Falling from n Great Height,

1t will be remembered that Mr..
Whymper, who had severe succession
Of falls once in the Alps, without losing
his consciousness, declares emphatically
that as he bounded from one rock to an
other he felt absolutely no pain. The
same thing happens on the battlefield;
the entrance of the bullet into the body
is not felt, and it is not till he feels the
blood flowing or limb paralyzed that
the soldier knows he is wounded.
Persons who have had several limbs
broken by fall do not know which limb
is broken till they try to rise. At the
moment of fall the whole intellectual
activity is increased to an extraordinary
degree. There is not trace of anxiety,
One considers quickly what will happen.
This is by no means the consequence of
presence of mind" it is rather the
product of absolute necessity. A solemn
composure takes possession of the VIC
tim. Death by fall is beautiful one.
Great thoughts fill the victims soul;
they fall painlessly into great blue sky.

Idiosyncrasies Don't Count.

MADAM" said the street car conductor
TO a young lady in blue calico frock,
''you have a dog under your shawl, and
you must leave the car"
What! Leave the carr vociferated
the woman. II have paid my fare and
I'm going to stick right where am"
"Then shall put you off, replied the
disciplinarian in blue.
All at once law point came into the
woinan's head. "Give me back my
fare" she said. IL got in here in good
faith, and when l paid my FIVE cents a
contract was completed. You must
either carry It out or return my cash.
I'm not responsible because your cranky
directors don't like dogs"
The street car official stopped the car
and hailed policeman. The point was
stated, and the thief catcher, after pom
dering for few moments, observed:
~ amt no judge nor amt no jury,
but claim to have some sense.
Under your system you might make
rules that passengers mustn't wear red
neckties or red noses or three dollar
trousers, and after they had paid fares
show 'em the rules and put them off.
There is no end TO the rules you
might make to bunko folks out of their
ride, and every time chap looked cross
eyed you could turn to rule No. 324,
providing that he mustn't look crosseyed
and then dump him in the gutter.
1.-THE thing isn't fair. There amt no
law to it and II don't CO."
Turning to the young woman he said:
you stay where you are, num-" and to
the conductor, "If you try to put her off
without giving her back her fare I'll
club your head off,"
Ting went the bell and on went the
car, dog, young woman and all.-New

The Inspection of Milk.

1t has been proposed, and in some
parts of the country the law already
provides, that the entire milk supplying
business shall be open at all times to
inspection. Such inspection should in
clude examination into the condition and
situation Of wells in relation to all sur
rounding buildings, their proximity to
standing water or pools containing Or
ganic matter, the condition of barns as
TO warmth and cleanliness, the kind,
condition and healthfulness of the COWS
from which milk is obtained and the
nature of the food given to them.
Inspectors should be at liberty to con-
denim as unfit for milking any cows suf-
fering from chronic diseases that might
be conveyed to man by the use of their
milk.-Youth's Companion.

Tea In Cashmere.

There are two ways of preparing tea
In Cashmere. The first is to put the tea
In pot with cold water and boil 1t for
half an hour, when more cold water is
added, after which it is boiled for
another half hour. Milk is then added
and it is ready for drinking. The second
Is to place the tea in pot with a little
soda and water, and boil it for half an
hour as before. Milk, salt and butter
are then added, after which it is boiled
Tor another half hcurswhen it is ready.

FAMILIAR SAYINGS.

Some of Them Traced Back to the Writ
crs OF Ancient Times.
After all, the newest authors are the
oldest In this new edition ("Familiar
Quotations'O we have familiar sayings
traced away back to Greece and Egypt
A new author by the name of Pilpay
figures in this edition. He was Brah-
min, and he lived several centuries be-
fore Christ. Writing in some early dia-
lcct of Sanscrit, he deliberately, and
with the most horrible heather deprav-
ity, stole some of the best sayings of
lIerricll, Shakespeare, Butler Cibber
and others. He was bold enough to APP
propriate such modern sayings as ''What
is bred in the bone will come out of the
ncsh,' Possession is the strongest
tenure of the law" and SO on. Hesiod,
who wrote in the seventh century be-
fore Christ, was another of those an
tique plagiarists Theognis, Eschylus,
Sophocles Euripides, Plautus, Terence,
and many others were great suppiiers
of modern familiar quotations. Every
time you say: 'IIence these tears" 1.-THE
flower of youth" Il do not care one
straw" with presence of mind" or
any one of several other things equally
familiar, you are simply quoting Ter

is quoted nothing more need be said

HE DUKE OF PERsIeNn.

How lie Crunched and Crumbled the
Cigarettes of His Imperial Master.
The announcement of the forthcom-
ing publication of the memoirs of the
late duke of Persigny, who was the in
innate friend and fidus achates of Ma
poleon Ill, recalls an amusing anec-
dote in connection with the proverbial
shortness of the dukes temper, says
the New York Recorder. OF all Ma
poleon's encourage there was no one
who spoke to him with sach freedom rs
Persigny, who did not hesitate to storm
and rail against him in the most foreible
manner upon the slightest provocation
Indeed, matters came to such pass
that Napoleon was prepared for scene
whenever he saw his friend Persigny
enter his room. He, however, used to
take things philosophically and was
wont to sit perfectly still with down
cast eyes, quietly smoking his eternal
cigarette, until the duke had worked
off some of his vehemence and indigna-
ton, without making the slightest at
tempt to check or interrupt his re
marks. Only on one occasion did he
venture to do SO, and it was in connec-
ton with his cigarettes.
Persigny had the peculiar habit, as
soon as he got excited of striding
toward the open box in which the en-
peror kept his cigarettes and of Selling
them by the handful. He would then
crunch them in his hands and crunble
them just in the same manner as bread
all over the floor in the violence. of his
arguments, throwing them broken and
reduced to tobacco dust upon the carpet
the chairs, sofas, and in fact every
where. The emperor used to watch
him do this with look of despair on
his face, and whenever he had time
made u point of hiding away The
cigarettes before Persigny entered tha
room. One day, however, when he had
been unable to take this precaution and
when the duke was more than ordinarily
hard upon the cigarettes Napoleon
| plaintively remarked to his small but
exceedingly force friend:
Look hero, Persigny, pitch into me
as much as you like, but for Gods sake
leave my cigarettes alone. They're do.

at the same time, being almost noise

parts, the center and the tire, while be-
tween the two is thick rubber band
which acts as a cushion to absorb all
the vibrations. By a peculiar construc-
ton, the tire is made so that it may be
removed without taking the wheel
from the axle. The rubber is so intor-
posed between the center and the tire

A Perfect Bear.

Many a man of suave and courtly pres.

erouS in his estimate of men and things,
becomes soured, disappointed and makes
failure in life, because at the critical mo-
ment his stomach gives sway and his diges-
ton fails at a time when he should be
ready to enjoy life with the keenest zest.
All this annoyance and trouble he could
avoid if he would but pay some slight at
tention to the laws of health. When he
is attacked with indigestion or afflicted
with constipation let him attend to it at
once. Get box of the Laxative Gum
Drops and aike them regularly. If the
constipation is )flong standing and obsti-
nate he should take these gum drops ev-
cry night on going to bed for several
nights in succession. He will find that
they will restore his digestive organs to
their natural condition. These gum drops
are gentle, but they will act without Civ
ing the slightest trouble, pain or annoy
ance. The small boxes are Ioc, the large
boxes are csc. Get them of any dealer.

1t was pleasant to hear Hon. Thomas
B. Reed for once on topic almost en-
tirely disassociated from politics, in
which sphere he has heretofore been al
most exclusively conspicuous.
The leading thought of Mr.. Reeds lee
ture in fremont Temple the other eve
ming, was that governments, whether so
cial or political. do not control the race,
but rather crystalized public opinion, as
voiced by the press and other instrument
taiities This view is undoubtedly cor
rect, and Mr. Reed ably cited history
from Adam down to the American citi-
zen to prove his contention.
Separated from his politics, Mr.. Reed
is always a most attractive personality,
bearing, as he does, the stamp of the
original droll and robust New Highlander.
Wherever s'the missing link'' may prop
erly belong, Mr.. Reed is in himself a
most interest ting study of human nature.
Boston Herald.l
Mr.. Reed writes admirably in his rhe-
torical addresses, and gives to them an
amount of care and thought which in
sures their literary value He has never
been heard to better advantage in this
city than he was > on Monday evening,
and there was proof of that reserve pow
er which those who know Mr.. Reed best
are aware that he possesses. On the ly-
ceum platform he is success, as well as
on the political one. and he is a great ia
vorite here in both relations.
