From the Blu, alo Quips
DR.. Thompson, master Of Trinity College,
Cambridge, was an exceedingly cold and
austere man, never taking much notice of the
undergraduates under his care On one acca-
sion Trinity man happened to be out walking
and was caught in . storm. He ran across
field and took shelter beneath large tree
When he arrived there he found to his horror
that Or. Thompson was beneath 1t, seeking
protection from the rain. For some lime both
stood silent, watching the clouds. till at last
the Undergraduate, growing desperate, VEN
tured to remark that he thought it was clearing
up little.
Sir, said the doctor haughtily, frowning
upon the wretched youth, ''all communications
to the master Of Trinity must be made through
the tutors"

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Among the distinguished arrivals at the Bur-
net House the past week was titled English
man. Lord William Brooks. With Lady Brooks
and valet and maid accompaniment. the Briton
was 'doing Hamerica'' in great style. He is
reputed to be very wealthy and eccentric, and
on his way from Washington. where he spent
some time. came via the Chesapeake and Ohio
line. While en- route the bell on the locomotive
that drew his train attracted his attention.
owing to the peculiar sweetness of its tone. and
when the train reached the Central station his
valet was commanded to go to the engineer and
ascertain the price of the bell and buy it. OF
course the engineer had no voice in the matter,
and so informed the lackey, who reported to
his lordship. Determined to have the bell, the
eccentric lord visited the Chesapeake and Ohio
officials, and after quite a lot Of dickering the
railway men put good price on the bell and
sold il. Ths coveted piece Of brass WAS Sc

Here. in the center OF semi-circle cut down

colossal metal figure of Neptune rears his back

He is not alone, for he has Amphitrite with

focks, and two Dragons. each bearing Cupid.
All are alive with water. spurts and rockets of

undulates in waye-like rolls. cascades and
mighty falls. The noise is like the cracking of
a house on fire.
AN IMPRESSIVE SIGHT.
All of this is too soon ended. Each of these
great fountains plays but twenty minutes. The
crowd, some 10000 srong, has arranged itself
along the tiers of an amphitheater opposite the
semi-cIrcle of the Neptune foun tain. The
writer has seen an audience of 5000 arrayed

the same expectant silence. the same shout at
the commencement and the same silent gaping

conversation could commence again. And.
after all, the interest is very much the same

Living With a Broken Heart.

A remarkable case of survival for a
week with rupture of the heart is re-
ported. The man, who was so years
old, short and plethoric, was playing
football, when he suddenly fell down in
a sort of faint, but recovered in few
moments and continued his play. Soon
after the game was over, however, he
had another and more severe attack, &C
companied by pain in the cardiac re-
gion, and a few minutes later he was in
a state of partial collapse, with shallow
breathing, almost imperceptible pulse,
and very severe pain over the heart. He
gradually improved and was able to sit
mp, but seven days later he had another
fainting fit and died.
At the autopsy the heart was found to
be fatty, degenerated and very friable,
and in the wall of the left ventricle was
q break or rupture half an inch in diam
eter. 1t seemed most probable that the
rupture was at first very minute or par
tal, not allowing the escape of blood in
to the pericardium, and that a week later
some extra exertion caused a completion
or enlargement of the rupture, resulting
in the escape of blood and death.-Lon-
don Lancet.

Untimely Criticism.

Untimely criticism is barrier, shut
ting out affection from US and spon-
taneity. Don't wriggle your feet so,
my son." says the critical father to a
boy vibrant with enthusiasm. The cor
rection could have waited, and the boy,
with dampened ardor, turns away, tell
ing his next story elsewhere, while the
father some day wonders why boys are
sealed books to their elders. Where
did you buy that dreadful cravat:" Mary
says to john in the midst OF his cheerful
salutation, when he is just about to tell
her of a bit of good fortune such sill
ly sentimentality! says John, with a
shrug of Indifference, to Mary at some
new thought springing out OF her heart,
dewy in freshness as a newly plucl5ed
rose. And John and Mary each grow
to mourn the fact that the best of the
other sheds its fragrance elsewhere.
There are a hundred other barriers-the
dwelling on material cares, the wanton
disregard of social amenities, the sensi-
tiveness to personal peculiarities.-Har,

V oman to Woman.

The attitude women assume toward
strange women was amusingly brought
out in New York court few days ago.
A female witness in a case where a
young man was accused of slashing a
young woman's dress while riding in the
elevated was asked by one of the law
yers, do you mean to say, madam, that
you saw all those tears or cuts, which
ever you please. in lady's skirt and yet
hadn't the politeness to tell her Of it?'
81 do, said the witness. Il have often
told women when their dress was out of
order in the street, but l always got
snubbed for my pains, and 1 made up
my mind not to do it any more. If man
should tell woman that her dress was
out of order, she would be very apt to
thank him, but she never thanks wom-
an."-San Francisco Argonaut.

Trees Require Good Soil.

Southern soil seems to possess the nee
essary substances for the growth of all
species of trees and plants natural to
warm climates. Substances that con-
tribute to the nutrition of plants will act
as food for trees, and, as we see the phys
ical properties of the trees themselves,
leaves and other matter have direct
share in their nutrition. There are some
soils SO hard and clayey that the roots of
trees cannot spread, and thus they fail
to reach the substances which they re-
quire for food. Hence the tree becomes
stunted in growth and is soon dead, fall
ing to the ground to become, through its
ashes, nutrition for some other Trailer
plant which can subsist in such SOIL

Learning From Englishmen.


1t Is true that the English have cult
Nssted sprinting, hurdling and the vari-
Gus neld events somewhat less success
fully than we, but for all distances above
the quarter mile the English records Ito
use our American standard of compari-
som are the worlds records. This means
that the prevailing interest abroad is less
IN the close gymnasium and on the dreary
clnder track than in cross country runs
and paper chases, which lead the athlete
through woods and fields, blow his lungs
full OF fresh air and steep his senses in
sunlight. Likewise the Embellishments
yacht Is, as it We're, his summer home,
while his horses are the companions of
the hunt and his travels. If yacht or
horse wins races for him, so much the
better.
But he draws the line when it comes to
sacrificing their sounder merits for the
passing glory of sweepstakes. Thus sport
with him is pleasanter and less intensely
exciting. 1t is fruitful in mental relaxa-
tlon and rest as well as in bodily health.
In short, Americans lack the strength
that comes through moderation and re-
pose, through wholesomeness of mind
ana body. We have yet to learn that
the work of life is too serious for us to
set our hearts and stake our health on
the pastimes of idle hours; that our years
are too few to be shortened by devoting
workdays and playdays alike to the
wasting passion of achievement.-John

A Good Dressing For Shoes.

When meditatinga trip ON rainy day,
it is wise plan to rub the shoes with a
waterproof mixture, which will make
them soft, pliable and hardy. A very
good recipe for this is an ounce of bees
wax, an ounce of turpentine, quarter
of an ounce of Burgundy pitch, melted
over a slow fire with half pint of oil
Be cautious with the turpentine. This
mixture may be applied often and will
be found really excellent.-New York

Said to BE Better Than Morphine,

Mention is made of codeine sulphate
as an extremely prompt sedative in af-

sessing an advantage over morphine in
that it does not check the secretions, nor
does it lead to habit, nor has it dis
agreeable after effects, and it will allevi-
ate pain. The dose varies from one
eighth to one-half, and, exceptionally,
one grain, given in pill or in solution,
frequently in strip Of, wild cherry.
The officinal alkaloid is rarely used,
the sulphate being preferred for the pur-
pose. If administered in water, an in
soluble residue is sometimes found,
which, on examination, proves to be the
alkaloid codeine, found in codeine sui
phate from the excessive heat employed
in concentration of the solution for crys-
tallization.-New York Tribune.
