A Mr.. Kirbell, who had never been
out of England until he went to Vienna,
seems to have been typical Briton and
stubbornly insular TO the extent Of re-
fusing to alter the time of his watch as
he travelled eastward from England. No
argument would induce him to bulge.
and when at Vienna he arose at un-
earthly hours and perambulated around
the city alone, having persisted in being
guided by his watch. stoutly asserting
that the foreign clocks were all wrong.
Kirbell was very anxious also to keep
a record of all the places he visited and
always iotted down in his pocketbook
the names of the various stations he had
stopped at or passed. "How curious 1t
Is there are so many stations Of the same
name he once remarked TO a fellow
passenger, who replied that he had not
observed it. Kirbell then showed his
record to prove he was right, and, sure
enough. over and over again occurred
the word "AEsgang" Exit. which he
had confidently entered as the name OF

Remarkable Diet.

All that appertains to food for inyalids
comes naturally under woman's prov
ince; therefore it sounds very strange to
folks who are experienced in the dietary
of invalids to hear what Senator Stan
ford's food had been restricted to for six
weeks previous to his death. Unless
there were complications that rendered
other foods impossible it would seem
that the last thing TO give man with
heavy apoplectic tendencies would be a
diet Of beef. Meat, and especially beef,
increases the pressure Of the blood on
the arteries, which have already very
thin walls in suffeSers with such tenden.
cies. A diet of fruits or vegetables or
slsimmilk suits most people under such
conditions, when beef only makes mat
ters worse. There may have been cir
cumstances rendering fruit improper or
milk indigestible, but there seems hard
ly anything a man could take that would
make more danger TO his circulatory sys-
tenn then fresh hashed meat.-Philadel-

A Custom That Is Very Old Indeed.

A bride made the confession to group
of young women who gathered around
her after the wedding ceremony and the
congratulations had been said and
owned up to having worn yellow gar
ter for two years, that she had counted
the stars and carried out the various
bits of lore that are prophetic of aspeedy
marriage and happiness ever after.
She wore something old and something new
Something borrowed and something blue.
on her wedding night. and, moreover,
wore a silver COMA Columbian halt
dollar-in her shoe. She was showered
with the usual amount of rice when it
came time to get into the carriage and
drive away for the honeymoon trip and
had old shoes and good wishes enough
sent after her to make the after years
Joyous ones if they all hold good, and,
moreover, when she opens her trunk and
travelling bag ard the bridegroom opens
his umbrella enough rice will come to
light to make their first rice pudding, and
the shoe strapped on the outside OF the
trunk will tell its own tale

Jhe rocked not this. 1t was enough for
1er that she did not care for him. This
is usually enough for any woman; also
for any man when the boot is on the
other foot. for of such is the kingdom
of Cupid.
His condition had at last become un-
bearable to him. and he resolved to win
all or lose all. 1t was late one evening
when the fateful moment came.

at last plaintively.

could say?"
Again he shrank at the cruel thrust.

character In the Ben Ring

Doorbells are pretty good indicators OF
character. Probably you have not been
conscious of it, but overy time you pull
a doorbell you register what manner of
man You are. Your ring will not tell
everything about you, from the color OF
your ewes to your taste in flowers, but
to those who know the signs the doorbell
Is as good as a title page.
Any one who has had occasion to an
swer bell pulls knows how much differ
ence there is in them. One persons
method varies very little from time to
time, though the difference between that
method and somebody else, while slight,
will be sufficiently well marked. 1t is
seldom that two rings are exactly alike.
The housewife recognizes each-the
impatient man, who pulls the bell twice
in quick succession and does not wait
long before trying it again; the one Of
more phlegmatic temperament, whose
ring is slower and more substantial; the
hesitating woman, who draws the knob
out in succession of nervous jerks; the
seedy individual with matches to sell,
who stretches the wire carefully to its
full length and then allows it to relax
with faint, apologetic tinkle. and the
Jolly friend who knows he is welcome
and therefore grasps the knob with a
hearty swing that is fairly eloquent with
good nature and sets the bell to shaking
its sides with such peals of echoing
laughter that it positively cannot stop
at once, but subsidies gradually with a
merry, irrepressible little tittor. A door
bell has as many voices as visitors

The Giants and Noah,s Flood.


Among the many queer stories related
in the old Jewish Talmud and copied
into Barring -Goulds "Patriarchs and
Prophets" and works of similar import
is one concerning the action taken by
the great race of giants at the time Of
the deluge At the time of the food the
giants were not all drowned. Their
leader, Og, planted his foot upon the
fountains of the deep, and with his
hands he stopped the windows of heav-
en-. According to Rabbi Eliezer, when
the flood broke upon the earth the giants
exclaimed, "If all the waters of the
earth be gathered together, they will
only reach to our waists. and if the foun.
tains of the great deep be broken up we
will stamp them down again" This
they did as they had declared they
would. Then God made the waters hot
and boiled the flesh from their bones.
The Targum of Palestine also says the
waters of the flood were hot. The Tai
mud then goes on to relate the story of
the escape of Og, declaring that he went
into the water along with the rhinoceros,
clinging to the side of the ark. The
same authorities which give us an ao-
count of how Og saved himself tell us
that all the waters of the deluge were
hot except that which Immediately sur
rounded the hull of the ark. One rab-
binic authority says that Og climbed
upon the top of the ark, and that when
Noah discovered and attempted to dis
lodge him he swore to be slave to the
patriarch's family forever if permitted
to retain his seat.-St Louis Republic.
