ronalities to innuenio, thence in cpl

Animal Eccentrlcltles.

We had two calves much attached
TO each other, which had from earli-
est callhood dwelt together in the
same little room, till it was time to in
troduce them TO orr small herd, con-
tanning mostly their own uncles and
aunts as well as mothers. We thought
they would have been welcomed with
affection, but they were boycotted for
at least a month. Nothing would in.
duce their family to let them Craze
with it, though the prohibition was
uiterward removed Our two old
horses, also, at first peremptorily re-
seuted the arrival of Welsh pony
(raffy) when he was turned into
"their" meadow
They hunted, kicked at and bit him
without mercy or proyocation, till he
made such great friends with our
donte~ which was on good terms
with oLvA, that they accepted this al-
lance as an introduction, aud agreed
to recognize Tafy as a companion,
especially when gave him carrots
and would let them have none unless
they behaved themselves. But to this
hour he generally ranges himself with

fortune by storing up barn full Of

in the hemlock forests between Che

historian "Sarsaparilla Sam" built a
log cabin palace, and spent his money
aud time like prince on q vacation.
Here, when ten years had gone by,

Some New Diseases.

The intensity of present-day life
has developed new and curious ills
that act principally upon the nerves
and brain. There is one malady that
is peculiar to cities. 1t is called the
eleyated-railroad disease, and has be-
come sufficiently common to attract
the attention Of scientists Among
the leading symptoms are nervous
irritation and habit of hesitation in
speaking. Many people who live on
the line Of the elevated railroads are
suffering from nervous systems that
are almost entirely shattered.
An eminent surgeon is authority
for the statement that there are
about half score of new diseases
developed by the high pressure
methods of present. day living.
Writer'S cramp and telegrapher's
cramp and paralysis are not new,
but they are becoming modified and
complicated with other diseases. A
number Of telegraphers have become
insane from the nervous strain OF
their occupation, and several have
committed suicide,

stomach enough, and that require

nishing Of nutrimont. These con.
densed foods arc intended to be used
only as a last resort, and as such they
viii keep body and soul together until
better days come The medical board
aud other staff officers. with some from
the line, who have been experiment.
ing with various emergency rations,
have reported. u iayors the erbswurst,
pea sausage used in the German
army This is made Of pea meal,
smoked ham and beef extract, and con-
tains more nutriment than beef alone.
Then the condensed pea soup is
recommended The soup is put mp
dry in four-ounce packages, which
will make three pints OF rich soup.
II is composed OF pea -four and beef
extract, aud has been known 10 keep
for three or four years. ItpleasantIy
distends the stomach 10 some extent,
and it is said one package boiled In
water will stand of a mans hunger for
"A whole day. The old bareback, well
remembered by those who went
through the war, can't be improved
upon. 1t is made wholly Of -four and
water, and the fat used in some sub
stitutes is undesirable, because 1t
won't "keep."
EugIand's emergency ration, beef
extract and honey and cocoa, is highly
favored. It is put up in two fonr-
ounce cans held together by a soldered
strip. The beef can be made into
soup or can be eaten dry. The two
cans will keep up mans strength for
thirty-six hours if he is content TO
take small portions at a time. Though
the coffees aud teas in the shape OF
capsules, etc, were not approved, the
Board liked saccharine one-grain
pill, which is 300 times as sweet n
sugar. Four grains is enough for
three quarts OF coffee.
Before long the army will be sup
piled with aluminum canteens, meat
cans and various other receptacles
light to carry and easy to clean. The
weight Of the new equipmentsis about
half that Of the old. The canteons
are made Of solid piece, and there
fore are unleakable. OF course they
don't rust One side of the canteer
is concave, to fit the hip or the horses
side. The meat can looks like huge
silver watch case. 1t is ten inches
across. Each half can be used as q
plate or one as a plate and the other
as a frying pan. All housekeeperr
know the danger of putting pan OF
the stoVe with nothing in it.
An aluminium pan melts a littl
sooner than other metal, but Their
are few acids which will corrode it
For this non-corroding quality instru
ments made of the metal are valuable
to surgeons Aluminium wire to sey
up wounds also is useful. Expert
ments are being made with aluminium
horse-shoes, but they are rather cost

The LATEST Man.

"The LATEST man l ever knew was
jeff Towson of PEORIA" said J. G.
Tappan Of that city at the Howard.
JEFF was too lazy too work and
fshed in Peoria lake, about three or
four miles above the city. He was
more constant sleeper than Dick
ems fat boy, and it used to be said
that he slept as he walked, but it is
certain that as soon as he sat down
he would fall asleep. On account of
this habit he lost several poles and
and fishing lines, which caused him
to adoptan original method He lay
on the bank, fastening the line to
his ankle. Ii the fish bit the hook it
would wake him, and he pulled it
in. One day larger fish than usual
snapped the bait, and when jeff awoke
he was in the river. After the most
energetic struggle he ever made he
succeeded in getting to shore, but it
looked as though he would have to
devise new plan. But he did not
abandon tying the line to his ankle ;
he simply procured rope and
fastened one end around his body and
the other to a tree, and in this way
he has fshed and slept for a good
many years now. Washington Star.

On an East Tennessee lady:
She lived life Of virtue, and died Of chol-
era morbus, caused by eating green fruit, in
hope Of blessed Immortality, at the ago Of
q years. months and lG days. Reader, go
thou and do likewise"
The following was composed by
three Scotch friends to whom the per-
son commemoratcd had left a legacy,
with tho hope expressed that they
would honor him by some record of
their regrets The first friend com.
posed the line which naturally opened
the epitaph:
Provost Peter Patterson was Provost Of
Dundee,
The second added:
Provost Peter Patterson, here lies he.
The third could suggest no other con-
clusion than:
Hallelujah Hallelulahl
The following must be taken as a
fling at noble profession:
Here lies the corpse Of DR.. Chard,
Who filed the half Of this churchyard.
This is as bad as the unkind hint
conveyed in the following, in a church
yard near Newmarket:
Here lies the body Of Sarah Sexton,
Who never did aught TO vex one.
Not like the woman under the next stone.
Domestic troubles have been laid
bare on the tombstone from the time
of the Greeks and Romans. Here is a
piece of atrocious doggerel to be seen
in Selby churchyard, in Yorkshire;
Here lies my wife, a sad slattern and
shrew:
II said regretted her should lie too
The following, which frequently APP
pears in collections of epitaphs, are
not credited to any locality, and may
be mere bits Of epigramatic misogyn-
ISM

1t raises my flowers and covers my wife.
am not grieved, my dearest life,
Sleep on-I've got another wife;
Therefore cannot come to thee,
For must go and live with she.
My wifes dead, and there she lies.
No man laughs, and no man cries.
Where she's gone, or how she fares,
Nobody knows, and nobody cares.
Here lies my poor wife, without bed or blan-
ket,
But dead as door nall, and God be
thankit
Intentional drolleries frequently
take the form of puns Among these
should rank epitaph on Mr.. Foote of
Norwich:
Here lies one Foote whose death many
thousands save,
For Death hath now one foot within the
grave
and the one on Mr.. Box:
Here lies one Box within another,
The one Of wood was very good
We cannot say so much for tother;
also the famous one of Sir John
Strange;
Here lies an honest lawyer,
That is Strange
| A "happy conceit" it was doubtless
thought in 1910, to write over a mem
Der of Parliament named White:
Here lies John, burning, shining light,
Whose name, life, actions, all alike were White
