OverpartiCular.

Cleanliness is a virtue, no doubt, but
like other virtues it may be carried to a
vicious excess. So it happened with an
old fisherman in Nartle, Devon, who
made it one of the chief ends of his life
TO keep his boat immaculate.
On one occasion a gentleman had
hired him to take himself and a Young
lady out for an afternoons fishing. The
boat could not be brought near enough
to the shore for them to step in; so the
old sailor removed his shoes and stock
;ngs and taking the young lady in his
arms was about to deposit her on board
when he caught sight of some mud on
her pretty pair OF boots.
Instantly he stopped and dipped both
her feet up to the ankles in the sea,
padding them back and forward to re-
move the mud.in spite of the protests of
the owner. His only remark as he
finally put her on board was:
Bless yer, miss. salt water won't
give yer the snutfies. - Outh's COM
pd1ltOn.

American Stories.

Robert Barr says that Americans
have all the ideas but Englishmen have
all the finish. He says that the Amer
lean who goes to London must guard
his stories if he ever expects to use
them. as they will be taken out of his
mouth and made into copy before he
knows it.
Over here a literary man tries all of
his ideas upon his friends before he
thinks OF putting them on paper They
are polished by being knocked about.
Hopkinson Smith made up Colonel
Carter of Gainesville" out Of stories he
had been telling for ten years. An
American would as soon have thought
of stealing his spoons As his stories to
make money out of. But in England
they are not so squeamish.
Mr.. Barr says that an American
author came to him one day and said:
We'll, Barr. I've told that cd yarn Of
mine that | meant TO work into a
novel once too often. One of the men
YOU introduced me to has lust brought
it out in magazine. ~ l. Herald.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March The
attorney for Capt. W. H. Howgate
who IS at present N jail awaiting trial
on other indictments, appeared before
Judge McComas IN the Criminal court
this morning and asked that the pris
oner be released on bail. The attor-
ney asked that the bail be fixed at
$1,000, The government represented
by Dist.-Atty. Birney, objected and
asked that the bail be fixed at $4,000
and the court 50 ordered. Capt. How
gate through his attorney stated that
1t would be impossible for him to Sc
cure bail at $4,000 and he therefore
was compelled to return to Jail. 1t is
understood that it will be impossible
TO bring the case to trial before three
months.

Professor Starr ofthe anthropologi-
cal department of the Chicago Uni
versity, took from the streets, for ex-
periment,a fifteen-year old pickpOcket
Of recognized ability in his profession
He was known to his friends as Skin
ny. The Professors purpose was to
study the effect of isolating this young
criminal from his criminal surround
ings. and to observe the moral infu-
ence of new environment The boy
went to live at the Professors house:
be shared his walks; he read to him;
and he was intrusted with response
blllties of minor character. He ac-
companled his patron TO Mexico for
research in the prehistoric ruins. One
thing to which the boy was found to
be noticeably sensitive was cold.
When the weather was cold he be-
came very nervous. and the Professor
could see IN such times the sugges
ton of hankering for his old life
La the recent cold snap the crisis
came. One night while the thermom
eter was particularly low the boys
moral resistance broke down. and
during the night, while the Professor
slept, his old spirit returned in full
force, and he stole silver, jewelry, and
money, and fed, The boy and plum
der were recovered, and the former
gave every evidence of being actually
penitent. He showed desire to com.
NIT suicide But the professor Sc
cured his release and has taken him
back into his home, and will continue
his experiment,

Not long ago, when the mercury
down OF Ocala. Fla, was climbing up
to the top of the tube, two young men
decided to agreeably surprise their
young lady friends by treat Of iced
watermelon, for dinner, says the Cap
tol. After studying over the matter
awhile they decided that an ice cold
melon was not good enough-did not
begin to show their appreciation Of the
young ladies so they went down in
to their pockets and purchased two
bottles of the finest claret in the city,
emptled them into the melon, then
sent it to the hotel. with instructions
to place it in cooler place. This was
done, and all would have been we'll
had nc the hotel folks decided to treat
the guests to fineimelon the same day.
The rich, wine filled melon lay side by
side with the melon favored only by
nature, and yet the sameness on the
outside remained undisturbed. At the
proper time the colored factotum was
ordered to prepare the hotel melon for
the table. (NO one except the young
men knew anything about the wine
being put in the melOn.) As soon as
the knife laid The melon open the pc
culiar ordor satisfied the waiter that
1t was spoiled. A brief consultation
was held and the unanimous verdict
was that it was no good. 1t was taken
out and placed in the COW lot, where a
mild-eyed Jersey lay dreaming the
hours away. The bovine. knowing a
thing when she saw it, was soon on the
outside of the melon, wine and all.
Now, two quarts of wine is a pretty
stiff drink even for a COW, and it soon
began to tell on her, and for time
she made things lively. trying to stand
on her head, kicking her heels, trying
to waltz, Juggling at the fence with her
horns and acting as if she was half
crazy 70 paint the town red in her own
way. Finally the. heavy debauch
proved too much flor her. She took
the hiccoughs, staggered around
awhile, fell down and began snoring
just the same as any other bum. Since
then she has refused to eat plain mel
on.

This treatment for sprained ankle
is recommended by a medical journal
After examining for fractures, the
part should be bathed in extremely
hot water just as hot as the patient
can bear it, and apply with spongt
or cloth, rather than allow the ankl,
to lie in the water. Then dry and
let the part rest quietly, when an APP
plication of homamelis, or veratrun
and hamamelis, may be made. Before
retiring, apply a flannel bandagt
tightly around the swollen part, only
being careful that the circulation !
not shut off. 1t is surprising how tie
hot applications relieve the pain and
produce absorption, and how the band
age by pressure prevents swelling anC
inflammation.
