The nririnnl -Four hundred.

It is generally thought that the saying
that the only people in New York worth
knowing can be numbered by 400 was
originated by Ward McAlhster, but it
can be found in the Bible. Acts v, 88,
which speaks of Theudas boasting him
self to be somebody. to whom a number
of men, about AGO, joined themselves,
who were scattered and brought to
naught. The verse referred to reads as
follows, 'For before these days rose up
Theudas, boasting himself to be some
body, TO whom a number Of men, about
400, Joined themselves, who were slain,
and all, as many as obeyed him, were
scattered and brought to nought."
Another verse worth mentioning in
this connection is from Samuel xxi, 2,
"And every one that was in distress, and
every one that was in debt, and every
one that was discontcnted, gathered
themselves unto him. and he became a
a captain over them, and there were
with him about 400 men. keystone.

n.u r0r,. sosistr IN wartime.

~.o,t ~ tba great excitement Of the war
grew a fantastic gayety, wild sort OF
Carmsgnole frenzy. Society did strange
thinQs. Women would dance the german
at O fashionable New York party Win
their hair hanging in long streamers down
their backs, while the young men would
seize those beautiful tresses for reins
and drive the fair women with imitation
wbine. Everybody wes halfmad. And
after the war was over these women, 20
whom philanthropy had become busi-
ness, found it hard to return to the com
mon everyday work of life. so Mrs D.
N. K. Barlow, one Of the best and no
hest of human beings, suggested that
we should help the south. We went to
vvorl, again at the dramatic committee
and invoked Mr.. Wallack. Mr. jerome
lent us the theater, and we really did
some very good works, producing plays
which were not stumbled through, but
had some resemblance 10 the real thlnS'
The money we made we sent to the eier-
evmen of the south, who wrote OF lndl-
vidual cases of distress. 1t was our
pleasure TO save the lives Of sick chill
dren who needed more delicate food than
their poor mothers could otherwise have
procured. We used to receive most touch
inc letters. Thus was the first effort at
reconstruction attempted and carried
through successfully. We tried to tol-
low Grant at Appomattox and to be

pefning DC Khedlre,s Positlon.

The only difficulty in regard to a true
comprehension of his position by the young
khedive lies in the fact that it is not correct
to say that the khedive is either real or a
nominal ruler in Egypt. He is something
Of both, and how much or how little he
partakes of the one or the other has never
been laid down in black and white. The
limitations placed on the power of the khe-
dive are Of two ldndsAfirst, those that
are imposed by the European powers as a
whole, and next those imposed by England
by virtue Of her military occupation Of the
Nile valley. The limitations imposed by
Europe as a whole have chiefly to do with
the financial position and with the legal
rights Of resident foreigners, and these are
for the most part well ascertained and are
acted upon every day.
Those imposed by England are, on the
other hand, general in character and are
seldom acted upon. Indeed they are as far
as possible kept out of sight and not al
luded to- For all that, however, they are
perfectly real and perfectly admit of being
expressed and acted upon when necessary.
Thus the khedive is only his own master
when he does not infringe the limits set by
the powers and by England. What are
these limits set by England? They are that
the khedive shall govern his country we'd
and reasonably and shall not imperil the
welfare of his dominions by any act Of mis-
government. But this answer Of course
suggests another question.
WHO'S to be judge whether an act by the
khedive imperils the welfare Of his domin-
ionsi In all matters, except those of the
first importance, the khedive. In matters
Of moment, the British government. In
other words, the British government does
not interfere except in the last resort but
when they do interfere they say the final

rIrlnr MIth ! nroI.en Heart.

A remarkable case of survival for a
week with rupture Of the heart is re-
ported. The man, who was 81 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, ac-
compauied by pain in the cardiac re-
gion, and 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
tial. not allowing the escape of blood IN
to the pericardium, and that week later
some extra exertion caused a completion
or enlargement of the rupture, resulting
in the escape Of blood and death.-I'on-

Mnr,nn to Woman.

The attitude women assume toward
strange women was amusingly brought
opt in a New York court a 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 a lady's skirt and yet
hadn't the politeness to tell her of itf"
Il do" said the witness. Il have often
told women when their dress was out Of
order in the street, but I always got
snubbed for my pains, and I made up
my mind not to do it any more. If man
should tell a 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.

A good story was told on Sam Nc
Conaha at q certain book store the other
day. During the holiday rush lie went
out to buy a book for his little girl. He
went from one book store to another and
said, Il want q nice holiday edition of
The Prodigal Som" No one seemed to
have the book. When Sam went home,
he did not say anything to his wife, as
the book was intended as a surprise
Christmas present. The next day he de-
ter1nined to go il further quest of the
book. But it was not to be found. The
fun of it is Sam wanted ''Tho Pilgrims

mixed He said the thing flashed across
his mind in dream two nights before
Christmas, and he then got the book that
he wanted.-Cinci1nai Inquirer.

And She Was Angry Because the Deaf Old
Man Misunderstood Her.
II was just o'clock, and the car was
packed with people going home.
She carried some bundles, and in her
efforts to handle them and save them
from crushing she dropped her mitten.
She saw it go, but was powerless to stay
its descent, and it went down in success
sive stages in a triangular space between
herself, a man who looked over her
head, and an individual who was deaf,
"There goes my mittenP
The deaf man leaned over and said,
"Ehg'
"My mitten-it fell down"
"Well, We can't git it, mum. Y'll have
to wait till the car gifts to the end Of the
line, SO the conductor kin pull up the
floor"
'.Ill do nothing Of the kind. Besides 1

deaf man.
Course I've got another one. and she
wiggled the hand incased in her other
mitten.
The deaf MIN saw the movement, and
knowing that women often carry car fare
inside their hahd coverings reached over
and pulled hef mitten off for her.
Then she 81 reamed.

Thought it was in yer mitten, said
the deaf man.
"You don't know how to think, said
the woman.

Bogus Bears Ham.

The late Sir Richard Owen, the emil
nent anatomist, often had his skill in
identifying bones tested. On one occa-
sion his friend and neighbor, Lord John
Russell, sent him specimen for this
purpose, and the professor quickly pro
nounced it the thigh bone of a pig. This
explanation Of the query was subse-
quently offered by Lord John; "Presi-
dent Buchanan had sent from America
to the English statesman the present Of
"a choice bears ham, and the family had
breakfasted off it several times with
much enjoyment. Somehow or other,
however, suspicion was aroused, and the
bone was sent to their scientific neigh

Powdered Foods.

Many artificial baby foods are manu-
factured and sold in concentrated form.
For example, products advertised as
substitutes for mothers milk" are
made from cows milk, to which is added
a sufficient quantity of sugar to CORE
spond with the constituents Of mothers
milk. The water IS removed from the
mixture in vacuo, leaving a fine white
powder, which is put up in packages.
Finely powdered wheat flour and other
nutritious vegetable elements are added

Said to Be Better Than Morphine.

Mention is made of codeine sulphate
as an extremely prompt sedative in af-
fections Of the respiratory tract, pos
sessing an advantage over morphine in
that it does not check the secreions, nor
does it lead to a habit, nor has it dis
agreeable after effects, and it will allevi-
ate pain. The dose varies from one
eighth Ato one-half, and, exceptionally,
one grain, given in pill or in solution,
frequently in sirup Of wild cherry.
The oficinal allaloid 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

The Authorization of geological.

the origin Of the word, the most ezas-
perating of all, and yet we now meet
with ZOO in wen written journals, and
1 see the word is being advertised as the
title Of book.
There is sanotherv variation, which comes
simply from bad pronunciation, as when
a coclzney holiday maker tells you he
has been to the ''slogical." If ''zoolog-
ical'' is to undergo a shortening, like that
which has befallen omnibus" and "cab-
riolet," let it st least become 20. This
would be correct as far as it went and
would not be so excruciating as the de-
testable zoo.-Cor. Notes and Queries.

rress RenuIre 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 viii 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 frazier
plant which can subsist in such SOIL
