"With the approaching season
when nince pie figures SO largely in
the culinary department its antiquity
is worthy of MENTION" says the New
York Times, "Once this pie had a
religious significance, and before the
Reformation the crust had CRIB like
form, and Brand says it represented
the manger in which the Holy Child
was laid In 1888 some one wrote
to the Gentlemen's Magazine that "a
mince pye' indicated the offerings, Of
spice made by the wise men," All
very true but the modern mince
pie hasn't got so much religious signi-
hcance, for it smacks so largely of the
brandy made by the distiller that the
eater is apt to feel his oats soon after
it touches bottom and any other
kind of mince pie isn't whit better
than old-fashioned custard.

The newspaper editor is frequently
advised to pitch into somebody and
to make vigorous attacks on certain
institutions and individuals. A dog
fight will frequently attract a crowd,
but none of the spectators are willing
to be the dogs. A day seldom passes
in the Office of newspaper without a
visit from somebody who has a fault
to find with someone or something.
He wants the editor to attend to it
for him. "Why don't you score 'em ?"
Then he goes into detail, talks about
this and tina, being an outrage, etc.
When the editor tells him he will
publish this and that complaint, pro.
vided he will sign his own name to
it, he says: "Oh, no, / don't want to
get into any trouble with those people.
Don't you sec. Can't you put it in
the shape Of an editorial p He don't
care what trouble the newspaper may
get into by publishing his grievance,
but he is too polite and cowardly to
assume the responsibility himself.
There are plenty of such people in
every community and the newspaper
man always finds out where they are.

in a daily circle of suffering, because she
thought there was no relief.
Her suffering was caused by female
weakness in its worst forms. She had pain
in her back and loins, great fatigue from
walking, leucorrhGa, local inflammation,
and frequent desire to urinate.
All this time relief was close at hand,
and she had only to accept it with the
same faith that has saved thousands of
others. Every druggist had it.
Lydia T.. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound cured her of all weakness and dis
ease, and she is now different woman.
This woman is Mrs. Walter Wilcox, of 1855
West Street, who advises all women who
suffer so from female weaknesses to try it
and be cured. 1t cures kidney trouble
in either sex, expels tumors, removes
backache, and invigorates the system.

The effects Of nervousness are varied
and amusing. One young mezzo soprano
was prevented just in time from walking
on to the platform in huge pair of fur
lined overshoes, which were put on above
her slippers, and which contrasted COM
ically with her dainty gown.
Another songstress, who was gifted
with good verbal memory, was singing
without note. During rather elaborate
symphony preceding the second verse of
her song she chanced idly to glance at
the book of words which she was hold
ing. Confusion followed. She could not
link the melody with the poem. It was
q terrible moment, but she stepped swift
ly to the piano, glanced at the accom-
panist's copy and finished her song con
amore. 1t appeared on inspection that
by printers error two lines Of her song
had been left out of the book Of words.
This had confused her and was the cause
of her failure to blend words and music
together.

The Duke of Holstein, in his '"Trav-
els In Muscovy and Persia 1885,, gives
a full account of wonderful vegetable
growing in the neighborhood of the city
of Samara, Russia, and known as the
''lamb or sheep gourd. y The duke says:
''It most resembles a lamb in all its
members and on that account is called
the lamb gourd It changes place
in growing as far as the vine or stalk
will reach, and wherever it turns the
grass withers. When it ripens, the stalk
withers, and the outward rind is covered
with kind Of hair, which the Musco-
vites use instead of fur. They showed
us some Of these skins, which were COW
cred with soft wool, not unlike that Of
a lamb newly weaned- -
Scaliger also speaks Of the lamb
gourd'' in his works. In one chapter he
says that the queer vegetable continues
to grow as long as grass is plentiful,
but that when the grass falls the ''pore
creetyr dyes frome lac Of nourishment. "
He also says that the wolf is the only
animal that will feed upon it-St

One of the difficulties in the cultiva-
ton of plants in a sitting room is that
the dry air and dust tend to clog the
pores of the leaves, Deprived of the
rain which would naturally cleanse
them and not often watered with rose
pot or syringe, the plants kept in room
are apt gradually to lose their health
and look miserable, if they do not alto
gether die. The best remedy for this is
the regular use of a small piece Of soft
old sponge with slightly warm water,
and if little soft soap is added all the
better. Especially is this necessary in
the winter when dust is rife, and as
"blight' is then at its weakest point
thorough cleansing during the cold
months will result i'll freedom from it
during the summer. Practice and deli
cate handling are needed for success
Some plants are much easier to sponge
than others. Among these may be men
toned the india rubber plant, and also
small specimens Of palms, both Of which
need frequent washings when grown in
a room. Orange trees and many other
plants exude kind Of sticky essential
oil, which catches the dust They there
fore require special attention. Aspidis-
tras and many other plants need spong-
ing often to keep them in health-in
fact, all plants with evergreen foliage
and others which will bear it are
strengthened and improved by the free
use Of the sponge. Cleveland Leader

A biblical Conun,Irum,

A good story is told of the horsy son
Of an English clergyman. Hewas on an
important occasion to meet the bishop Of
Lincoln at dinner, and as it was desir-
able that favorable impression should
be made on his lordship his father beg
ged he would be favorable to the bishop
and do his best to draw him out, as he
was unusually strong in Biblical lore.
During the early part Of the banquet
matters went on well enough, the young
man saying little, but watching for an
opportunity to open his full batteries.
At length pause in the general CONVEX
sation took place, and while the COM
pany was all attention he thus addressed
the bishop:
"Might l venture to ask your lordship
question relative to point mentioned
in the Old Testament which has puzzled
me a good dealT'
"Oh, certainly-quite happy" replied
the dignitary, feeling quite in his ele-
ment.
"Then | should be glad to have your
lordship's opinion as to how long it took

after he had been out to grassS" Boston

A sailor who desired to re-enlist in
