New Cure For Indigestion.

Feel all puffed up. eh! Well, it's a pity
that some one couldn't treat you the way
my brother-in-law's wife treated her
chickens That was when they lived
out in Lewistown, P.
Going to tell US another story now,
suppose, like those about catching
herring in the grass and hunting shad
with dog and gun, amt your"
Without paying any attention to this
sighting remark, the Jerseyman went
on:
my brother-in-law's wife had fine
crop of chickens that summer. They
were all Matched that spring and were
growing well when one day the whole
flock got at bag of dry cornmeal and
filed their crops full of it. The first
thing my brother-in-law's wife knew of
this was when the meal began to swell
and turn sour and the whole troop of
chickens were waddling around with
crops twice their regular size and every
chicken looking like the bass drummer
in German band. You see, the chick
ems either had got at water too soon or
else didn't have gravel enough in their
crops to grind up the meal, and it
wouldn't digest, and seemed like to have
burst them
There was no one by to give help or
advice, and my brother-in-law's wife
wasn't going to lose that lot of more
than 100 fine chickens if she could help
it, SO she started right in to do the best
she could. The children caught the
chickens and brought them to her, and
with her buttonhole scissors she cut
slit in each one of their crops. She
squeezed out the corn meal, washed
their crops out, and sewed them up
again. The chickens seemed grateful.
They were kept quiet for couple of
days, fed lightly, and every one of them
recovered.

A Green-Hfde Monster.

Although very little regard is paid in
Newport to what are called in Massa-
chusetts understood Holsters, for the
sale of which there is heavy bounty,
Wednesday lobster was captured by a
Greek fisherman named George Sirius
which completely eclipses anything be-
fore found about there and, as there
were no purchasers for the lobster for
eating purposes, it will probably be
sold for exhibition. The lobster was
upward of twenty inches long and
weighed some seventeen pounds.
An old salt who was near by when
the question of age was brought up
pronounced him to be at least four
score. The lobster was caught in an
ordinary trap, except that he was not
caught in the usual way. He was so
large that he could not enter as other
Holsters do, but while around the en-
trance he in some way became entan-
gled in the woodwork forming the lob
ster pot and was borne to the surface
and extricated. One of the large
claws had become almost devoid of life,
while the other, though not at all frisky,
was capable of giving a hard bite

History of the Pen.

The first pens were made of bronze.
steel, and iron sharp pointed like bod
kin. These were used in producing
hieroglyphics on stone in Assyria and
other eastern countries. Then came the
camels-hair pencil for painting on the
skins of animals, and next the stylus of
bone, ivory, or metal. But parchment
and papyrus became known, and the
reed pen was invented. Time rolled on
and it was discovered that the Quill was
better than the reed, and it came into
universal use, and continued SO until far
into the present century. Silver, horn,
tortoise shell, and glass came along only
to give way to steel. until in 1920 gross
of the latter pens was made in Birming-
ham and sold at wholesale for $50. The
best gold pens are made in the United
States HarIE10dre.

Corot's Odd Price for a Picture,

A very amusing anecdote concerning
the brother of the new president of the
French Republic is related by M. Ziem,
the Venice artist. The brother of M.
Casimir-Perier was on intimate rela-
tions with Corot. He came, one day in
1875, to see the painter at Barbizon, Just
at the moment when Corot was putting
the finishing touches to his "Biblis, a
picture which represents nymphs sleep
ing in a wood. His enthusiasm for the
work of art, where the poetry of the
subject was contending with the science
of the painter for superiority, made him
wish to possess the canvas. "You shall
have my picture" said the artist, "on
one condition, and it is that you paw
the butchers and bakers bill of nv
friend Millet." Agreed" replied NJ.
Perier, little astonished at this curl
Gus condition. The bills were sent for
to Chailly, when it was found that the
accounts had been running with the
two tradesmen for fully twelve years.
The one amounted to $4,000 francs and
the other to $4,000 francs. M. Perier
paid the bills without moving a muscle.
His Corot cost him 46, 900 francs. To-
day he would not take three times that
amount for it, but. nevertheless, during
the life of the painter it was only worth
some 1900 francs

A THREE.TIME LOSER.
The Horse That Miss Russell Bet on Had
No Winning Gait.

Since Miss Lillian Russell closed her
season her secretary and general repre-
sentative, Teddy PEPPER, has subsisted
very nicely without any regular salary.
| Miss Russell has been by no means mean
to him, but then between Teddy Peiper's
appetite and Teddy Peiper's means
| there is chasm which has never vet
been completely bridged.
Miss Russell is passionately fond of
horse racing. She never makes large
bets, but in feminine way yearly loses
some portion of her large income in
| backing this horse or that.
Mr.. PEPPER, recognizing this peculiar
ity OF his employer, called on Miss Rus
sell one day at her residence, and in the
course of conversation mentioned that
he had great tip on a horse we may
call Starlight which, unfortunately, he
was unable to take advantage of by
reason of his financial condition. The
| odds were ten to one, and it was a dead
sure thing. Miss Russell was at once
all interest, and finally induced Mr..
PEPPER, who, of course, was reluctant to
wager her money on his tip, to accept
$25 and put it on Starlight.
A few days afterward Mr.. PEPPER
again had occasion to call on Miss Rus
sci, and in the course of conversation
it suddenly occurred to her to ask
what had become of Starlight and the
tip.
"The most unfortunate thing you ever
saw" said Teddy. at was practically
dead-sure thing, but from the start
Starlgt got in a pocket and could not
get out and finished badly. Of course
the $25 is gone, but if only knew
somebody who could put up $25 on
Starlight tomorrow he would simply
get $3.50 for it. Miss Russell was al
most compelled to beg to be permitted
to give Mr.. PEPPER $25 more to put on
Starlight.
In the course of business Mr.. PEPPER
had again occasion to call on Miss Rus
sell several days after. She had almost
forgotten about Starlight, but some
reference Mr.. PEPPER made to the races
excited her curiosity, and she said: @By
the way, what about that horse you bet
on? Starlight, was it notP"
The story that Mr.. PEPPER thereupon
told of the manifold misfortunes that
befeu Starlight in the race and the al
most innumerable reasons why he came
IN last it is needless here to tell. twill
hardly be believed that after these two
bnroWdoWns," so to speak, Miss Russell
was again induced to put up $25 on the
next race that Starlight would run.
Again the same story in its general pur-
port, but differing as to details This
time Miss Russell had grown suspicious,
and she asked Mr.. PEPPER: "You bought
the pool, did you not?"
why, of course" answered Mr..
PEPPER.
"Then, where is the ticketp" asked
Miss Russell. 'The tieket!" and for a
moment Teddy was almost nonplussed.
@Oh, yes, the ticket. remember now.
I was so mad, almost crazy at this
third failure, that tore it up and
stamped on it. 1 ought to have kept
it, OF course, but anger got the best of
me-"
Miss Russell is really a good-hearted
woman, and she smiled on Teddy.

SOUTH SEA LEGENDS OF FIRE.
A Whale and an Air Dragon Each Be
Heved to Have Originated Flames.

A Whale and an Air Dragon Each Be
Heved to Have Originated Flames.
The South-Sea Islanders tell curious
story of the origin of fire. If they are
to be believed, says the st. Louis Re-
public, they came in possession of that
useful element in the following man.
ner: A great whale was once washed
ashore upon one of their islands during
the prevalence of terrible hurricane.
The monster became entangled in a
grove of tallow trees Ca species of ever
greens whose brances easily ignite),
and, while gnashing his teeth in his i'm
potent rage, struck off spark which
lighted the grove and consumed both
trees and whale. Fires which are said
to have been perpetuated since the day
of the "great whale fire" may yet be
seen burning in many parts of the ISL
and.
Another fire legend, believed in by
the inhabitants of the islands TO the
north of the ones in which the "great
whale fire" is preserved, is to the effect
that great air dragon (probably light
ning) breathed upon a tallow tree and
set its branches on fire. From the Goals
left from this fire they learned of its
great value, and have ever since used
the element for domestic purposes and
in their religious ceremonies. They
also have tradition that the time will
come when the dragon will return for
the fire, and that no man will be able to
Withstand him and save the sacred
spark except he be a person born with
pink eyes, fair skin and white hair. For
this reason the birth of an albino is al
ways hailed as good omen, and his or
her person guarded with jealous care,
SO as to preserve life to its utmost limit.
Marionette mentions seeing a 'ire god"
(albino) while on his visit to the ISL
ands, who was believed to be at least
$50 years old, and who had always been
provided for by the tribe.
Reffinesque, who made South Sea ISL
and myths and legend study for
years, is of the opinion that the return
of the dragon for his fire is symbolic of
death and the flight of the spirit.

Cleopatra Was a Blonde.

Cleopatra was a widow, having pois-

of not a little discord in the families of
both Caesar and Anthony. The former
took her to Rome with him, but the peo-

tator's wife that he was obliged to send
the Egyptian queen back to her own
country. Anthony gladly ruined him.
