Mrs. Stevens on In the Chair.

Mrs. Stevenson presided at the recent
convention of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution. The wife of the vice
president has evidently never opened the
covers of her husbands authorities on
parliamentary order. But she was not
blind to her own defects, so she supplied
them quite easily by engaging as adviser
mild hammered man, who neverthe-
less knew all about overruling and
quashing and laying on the table. This
man sat at Mrs. Stevenson's elbow, told
her what to do next in all cases and scut-
tied number of ships in the shape of
resolutions offered by adventurous
Daughters.
The first little incident of this sort was
when a motion was offered by distin.
guished looking woman from the Mount
Vernon chapter. Mrs. Stevenson was
standing at the time, and without wait.
ing for any discussion asked the yeas and
nays and got them, too, before the little
man or any one else had chance to
draw long breath. Immediately there
was a storm Of opposition. Then the
mild parliamentarian whispered some
thing to Mrs. Stevenson. She pounded
in ladylike manner with her pretty
gavel and said:
1.-THE question before the congress, Ia
dies, is the resolution. We can do one
of two things with it. We can either
we can either what?" she blandly and
frankly asked, turning to the blushing
parliamentarian.
1t was so openly done that it brought
down the house. Mrs. Stevenson laughed,
the little man laughed, everybody laugh
ed, and order was not restored for sew
eral minutes. Then they laid the reso-
luton on the table and went gayly on
about their business.-New York Sun,

Criminal Festivals.

The great solemn popular festival of the
Khonds included the annual immolation Of
victim After three days of indescriba~
BILE orgies, in which women often partici-
pated dressed like men and armed like war
riors, the victim was bound to a stake in
the midst of the forest and left there all
night alone. In the morning the people re-
turned, with a great noise of bells and
gongs, singing and shouting. When the
multitude had become well intoxicated
with the uproar and greatly excited by the
disorderly dances, the grand priest would
command silence and recite long prayer
and would then slay the victim, usually
with single stroke of the knife. The null
titude, which had been waiting for that
moment, rushed upon the quarry with
piercing cries, each one trying to tear off
piece of the palpitating flesh, to hack the
body to pieces.
A criminal ceremony exists among the
tribes of the interior of Sumatra, which is
without doubt the survival of an ancient
and very cruel custom, that has passed in
the course of time into a civil and religious
duty. These people, although of rather gen.
tie disposition, piously and tremendously
kill and eat their aged parents in the be-
lief that they are performing sacred duty.
At the appointed day the old man who is
destined to be eaten goes up into tree, at
the foot of which are gathered the rela-
tives and friends of the family. They
strike the trunk of the tree in cadence and
sing funeral hymn. Then the old man de-
sends, his nearest relatives deliberately
kill him, and the attendants eat him.
With some peoples animals take theplace
of human victims. but what we have said
is sufficient to show that even with these
peoples collective crime was formerly a sol
emn ceremony, although individual crime
was already regarded as something to be
conference.-the. Guillaume Ferrero in Pop
ular Science Monthly.

Protected by His Diamonds.

During the worst of the recent hard
times two Wall street men were discuss.
ing matters in a lawyers Office. On
parting one of them said:
eff l can manage to hang on to my
diamonds, I guess I can pull through"
Later the lawyer was asked what the
remark signifed. He laughed and said
sit means that a diamond is not only
a valuable but conspicuous article. If
a man is in the habit of wearing this
sort of ornament, his associates are
bound to notice it. In a time when men
are going to pieces all sorts of signs are
looked for by business men that will in
dictate the financial standing of a GUS
toner. If they notice that a man who
has been in the habit of wearing expen-
sive jewelry suddenly appears without
any of his usual jewels, they are apt to
conclude that he is being pushed so hard
that he had to realize on personal prop
erty, and his credit goes down. New

The "Dunmow Fitch"

1t is in the ancient town of Dunmow, in
North Essex, England, that every year the
high court of love is held, and welded
couples who live in peace and harmony lay
claim to the celebrated "Dunmow fitch"
Baron Fitzwalter, who, tradition says, was
the institutor of the quaint ceremony, lived
in the twelfth century, and to him is at
trib1ted the saying, HE which repenteth
him not of his marriage, either sleeping or
waking, in year and a day may lawfully
90 to Dunmow and fetch CANNON of ba-
CON-"
1t Is refreshing to learn that in the pres
emit year of grace three couples deemed
themselves worthy the award and presented
themselves before the jury, which is COM
posed of six young maidens attired in white
and six very youthful and beardless bache-
lors. The claimants sit during trial on old
fashioned seats made for two" which,
when the award has been made, are hoisted
on long stretchers and the loving couple
borne in triumph around the race course.
Following them come the judge and the
advocates in their robes of Office, the crier
proclaiming silence with the wonted form
ula, then the white ROBBED maidens and the
beardless boys of the jury, and lastly the
chatting crowd.-London Letter

WHAT IS APPETITE +?
Healthy Appetite teaches us when
we ought to eat.
without Appetite we would not eat, we
would not live.

without Appetite we would not eat, we
would not live.
Convalescents are always hungry; they
are growing we'll. Children have great APP
petites: they are growing big. Healthy
people have good appetites: their stomachs
need food to replace the waste tissue and
fat consumed by the body.
If your appetite is bad, you are SICK.
Your stomach does not wish to work:
Your store of fat will decrease. You Will
get thinner. You will sooner or later waste
away. That is consumption. If you do not
waste away. but remain always thin, you
are still laying yourself open to the attacks
of disease. Fat is nothing but natures re-
serve force or fuel. You cannot be abso-
lutely healthy unless you are normally rat.
What makes Pask0la the great "appe-
tier" is the fact that it aids the stomach TO
digest all other food, is itself at once alb
solved into the system, and thus leaves the
stomach perfectly empty. AS soon as TINS
happens hunger occurs. The reason so
many dyspeptics have no appetite is tnat
their stOmachs are constantly full OF I'M
perfectly digested food.
There is only one way to permanently
remedy this and that is by the use OF Pas
kola. Paskola being pre-digested 1000 is
directly absorbed, and gives the stomach no
work. 1t brings back healthy appetite
and will make even consumptive healthy
and fat. Descriptive pamphlets mailed free

AN UNLUCKY DEPUTATlON.

The Villagers Followed the Lead OF the
Mayor With Ludicrous Consequences.
On one occasion, while on journey
through Italy, the pope halted at small
village, the inhabitants of which resolved
to send some of their principal men as
deputation to his holiness. The mayor,
who was to head the deputation, pro-
posed to present him with some of the
chief produce of the country, consisting
OF pineapples, figs and cream. 1t was
accordingly arranged that each member
should carry some figs and cream in sill.
yer basins, the pineapples, however, be-
ing dispensed with
Before setting out the mayor thus adj
dressed his followers: "As you do not
know very we'll how to conduct your
selves before exalted personages, you
must watch me closely and do as do"
The procession was formed, with the
mayor stalking majestically in front,
furnished, like his followers, with ba-
sin of figs in his left hand and another
of cream in his right. There was step
down into the room, but the mayor fail
ed to notice it. He stumbled, and the
shock sent his face and beard into the
cream basin. Trying to recover himself,
he only made matters worse, for he fell
upon his knees, with his hands and basin
under him, and his creamed face raised
imploringly to the holy father.
The members of the deputation, think
ing that this was the proper ceremony to
observe in the presence of such a distin-
guished parsonage, dipped their boards
in the cream, threw away their vessels
and bent down on their knees, at the
same time casting half inquiring and
confident look at their leader, as if they
meant to say: "You see we are all right.
We have carefully followed your exam
ple."
The pope was at first astonished, but
soon burst into fit of the most bolster
GUS laughter, while the attendants,
thinking that the deputation had come
to mock their master. began pelting them
with the saturated figs.
The mayor hobbled out of the room,
closely followed by his brethren, one Of
whom whispered to him:
'How lucky it is for us that we did
not bring the pineapples! How nicely
our heads would have been battered by
Million.

Curtains Made of Glass.

Glass curtains are a novelty in household
!hrnishings. They are in colored glass and
have the effect when closed of stained glass.
They consist of a series of little squares Of
colored glass, each set in a small zinc frame,
the squares being attached to each other at
the four corners by little S shaped hooks.
We are told that they can be as easily taken

Treatment of the Feet,

A writer in Boots and Shoes has been
interviewing chiropodist on the care of
the feet and has got this information
from him concerning the treatment for
heated, tired feet after walking or stand
ing:
He says, truly enough, that authori-
ties differ as to the value of the various
foot baths. "Hot water enlarges the
feet by drawing the blood to them.
When used, they should be rubbed OF
exercised before attempting to put on a
tight boot. Mustard and hot water in
foot bath will cure nervous headache
and induce sleep. Bunions and corns
and callousness are natures protestations
against bad shoe leather. Two hot foot
baths week and little pedicuring will
remove the cause of much discomfort.
"a warm bath, with an ounce of sea
salt, is almost as restful as nap. Pad
die in the water untN it cools, dry with
q rough towel, put on fresh stockings,
make change of shoes, and the person
who was ready to drop will then be
ready to stand up. But the quickest re-
lief from fatigue is to plunge the foot in
ice cold water and keep it immersed I'M
til there is sensation of warmth. An
other tonic for the sole is alcohol. 1t
dries the feet nicely after being out in
the wet. Spirit baths are used by pro-
dancers, acrobats and pedes-
TRANS to keep the feet in condition"
The ice cold foot bath seems rather a
dangerous remedy to persons unaccus-
toned to it, and the caution is suggest
ed to experiment with it in very mild
