unr.allzsd Antiolpatlon..

That Long Islanders are not wholly
devoid of humor, which has been
charged against them, is clearly
demonstrated by recent occurrence
at Riverhead, the Suffolk county
seat.
1t seems that the local debating So
ciety had under consideration the
old topic, Whether there is greater
pleasure derived from anticipation
than from realization2" This weighty
subject was discussed at length and
was finally carried in favor of antici-
patton by heavy majority.
Now, it happens that favorite
dish of Riverheaders is rabbit stew,
and that one of the losing faction,
Nate Downs, is esteemed as the best
concocter of rabbit stew on the east
ern end of Long Island.
Not long after the famous debate,
Nate invited the whole company to
visit his house and partake of the fa-
vorite dish. Anticipation ran high,
and at the appointed hour the club
assembled en- masse, but alas for re-
alization there was no rabbit stew,
only the usual paraphernalia of
serving it-dishes, knives, etc.
Nate had sought by this practical
method to force the society to recon
slider its hasty decision and was en-
inently successful. The company
left, very angry, but with the settled
conviction that so far as rabbit stew
was concerned realization would be
more satisfactory than anticipation.

How. to Get Warm.

1t may not be generally known
that when exposed to severe cold a
feeling of-warinth is readily created
by repeatedly filling the lungs to
their utmost extent in the following
manner: Throw the shoulders well
back and hold head well up. In
fate the lungs slowly, the air en-
tering entirely through the nose.
When the lungs are completely
filled, hold the breath for 10 seconds
or longer and then expel it quickly
through the mouth. After repeat
ing the exercise while one is chilly a
feeling of warmth will be felt over
the entire body, even in the feet and
hands. 1t is worth while practioing
this exercise many times each day
and especially when in the open air.

Burial Armor and sbrouds.

The custom which still prevails OF
sewing up a corpse in flannel origi-
mated doubtless in the act of parlia-
ment, 1S and 10 Charles II, which was
passed for the encouragement of the
wooden trade and required all bodies
to be buried in wooden shrouds. Two
amending statutes were passed-167S
and 1680-requiring at the funeral an
affidavit to be delivered to the priest
stating that the requirements of the
law had been carried out; otherwise
penalties were incurred. These acts
were repealed by 81 George III, al
though long before that time the
penalties for noncompliance with
the law had ceased to be enforced.
During the operation of the acts for
burying in woolen the law was some
times eyaded by covering the corpse
with hay or flowers, notification of
which is sometimes met with in the
parish registers.
Burial in armor was not at all un-
common in the middle ages, and was
considered a most honorable form of
burial. SirWalter Scott in ''The Lay
of the Last Minstrel" thus refers to it
Seem'd all on fire that chapel proud,
Where Roslin's chiefs uncofin'd lie,
Each baron for sable shroud
Sheathed In his iron panoply.

TRY DR.. NILES PILLS, so DOSES 25 CTS
Sod by D. J. Fry, Salem. Oregon.


A surprising discovery was made
by Food Inspector Mellor not long
ago. An honest Scovill avenue grocer
had become suspicious of prepara-
tions which had been sold to him as
being raspberry jelly and honey, and
he took samples of them to the in
spector. The jelly was made from
corn starch and was colored with
cochineal and favored with raspberry
extract. The alleged honey was made
from glucose sirup favored with OK
alc acid. No flavor is necessary in
the production of honey. 1t is only
required that the glucose and oxalic
acid be mixed in the right proportion
and in a few weeks the result is
honey, at least SO far as taste and ap-
pearance go. The stuff had been
sold to the grocer as strained honey.

Tho Scare About Germs.

A physician tells the Cincinnati
Times-Star that the widespread fear
of disease germs is largely ground
less. Everything" he says, is full
of germs or crusted with them, but
every germ is not harmful. Every
disease germ on the body does not
produce a disease. If it did, there
would not be person on the face of
the earth tomorrow. People lived
before disease germs were known
AMI were as healthy as they are to-
day. They lived as carefully as W.
do-perhaps more SO. We cannot
avoid contact with disease germs, but
we can do what is better-strengthen
the body SO that it resists them as
easily as lion can flea Some sci
entists pretend to deplore lack of
precaution people take against germs.
1t is simply because the people see,
despite theories, that every germ
doesn't produce sickness any more
than every man is murderer. Ev-
cry man may possibly be one, but we
would not be justified in going armed
on that account"

Burke and His Associates.

The free and easy manners Of the
political and literary friends with
whom Burke associated are exhibited
by a personal anecdote.. He often
asked his friends to sup on beefsteak
or a leg of mutton. One night the
house sat late, and Burke brought
home to supper Fox and two or three
more of the Whig politicians. Mrs.
Burke's face told of the i'll provided
larder.
Surely" said the host, answering
his wife's look of annoyance, there's
beef enoughl"
Fox and another gentleman, seeing
the state of affairs. hurried off to a
tavern, where they obtained such
dishes as could be purchased. Amid
much laughter they returned and set
the table with the food they had for
aged. Burke called them the most
skillful of walters, and there was
an amusing, satisfactory supper

A SONG or SUNLIGHT.

Life and death, and the power of love, and the
strength of laughter:
Music of battle, and ships that sail away to
the west;
All that hath gone before and oil that follow
eth after:
The mad, blind struggle for gold and the
restless seeking for rest
The brain reels round with them all, and wea-
riness is their name:
Come to the long, low moorland and hear.
ere the winter win II,
Where the broom, like a sunlit beacon, flashes
in golden flame
The music of wind and water, of the bee and
the mountain linnet.
Blue is the sky overhead and purple the
heather about u.s.
Far on the dim horizon the white sails CLEAN
in the haze.
One is the dream within and the song that Is
ours without us,
The joy of the sun stepped present, struck
free from the whirl of the days.
Harki how she sings in the fern a passionless
song of content,
The wren, now hanging moment where the
foxglove's bells are shaken.
Now by the waters edge the iris bowed as she
went,
Weaving her melody out Of the sweets by the
way she has taken.
Sing, little bird in the willows, low by the edge
of the river,
A song that ripples and leaps as the waters
leap in spring.
The wind breathes low in the grass where the
threads of the gossamer quiver,
And all the sunlit moorland is silent to hear
you sing.
Sing that life is glad, and fair are the land and
tho sea,
The wonders Of stars in the night, and the
noontide's golden glory.

They Knew the Horse.

In some small New England cities
the intercourse between judges and
witnesses seems now and then to be
of a pleasant and colloquial sort not
to be found elsewhere. A judge who
was not only learned in legal mat
ters, but was also an excellent judge
of horses, was one time holding
court in Saco, Me. A horse case was
on trial, and one of the witnesses
who was not as clear in his testi-
mony as the judge thought desirable
was requested by him to describe the
animal in question more minutely.
"Why, jedge," was the reply in a
patronizing tone, "all you Saco fell
lers know that air hoss. Twas the
Bill Littlefeld hoss that AL Hodgkins
used to drive"
The "Saco feller" on the bench
smiled quietly, but the rest of the
''fellers" smiled audibly.-Youth's

John Hopes Methods.

The late John Hope of Edinburgh
was a man Of many peculiarities.
He had a peculiar horror of boys
smoking in the streets. Whenever
he met an urchin with pipe in his
mouth, he would stop and lecture
him on the evils of smoking. Gen
orally he finished his homily by pur-
chasing the pipe and destroying it in
the boys presence. This method of
advancing the cause of the Anti To
bacco league did not meet with
much success, as the boys usually in
vested the money in new pipes and a
further supply of tobacco. -Edin.
