disastrous Results FOLLOWING the Use OF
Household Prescription.
A Germantown mother, reading in
the columns of a household journal not
long ago about a novel method of quiet
ing a noisy youngster, put it in practice
with a somewhat unexpected result,
SAYS the Philadelphia Record. The
scheme, as laid out in the practical
magazine, consisted of smearing
numerous bits of raw cotton with mo-
Iasses and giving them TO the squalling
baby. Theoretically, the child could
then be left 10 itself for about four
hours, while it was engaged in the in
teresting occupation of removing the
sticky cotton from its hands. Wish
ing to give the apparently feasible plan
q fair trial, the credulous mother pro-
cured a small bale OF cotton and a pint
OF molasses, mixed thoroughly, accord
ing to the receipt, and served in dry
foOtbath- Then she plunged her babes
hands into the mass and went about
her business. When time was called,
the astonished child toed the scratch
and didn't know whether to laugh or to
cry. About to decide on the latter, it oc-
CURED TO the .youngster that the stuff
smelled good. At this stage of the
game the experimental measured 81
inches just below the waist. When the
intelligent mother returned in about
sn hour her progeny had disposed of
the entire mass, measured 80 inches in
circumference and was in imminent
danger of exploding. The family ply
sician, hastily summoned, managed to
afford relief, and advised the fond
parents to quiet the child with matches
next time and to send for an under

met his employer, but the latter was
determined not TO be outdone in hospi-
tality by his goodman. Bring your
friends into the dining-room, Mike, he
said, and into the dining room the trio
followed him. "Now, nv men, Of

Purchased . Laugh for Fifty Dollars.

A society girl, one Of whose greatest
attractions is a soft, little. musical
laugh, entertained an interesting group
lately with an account or how that
prominent charm of hers was acquired.
Very few persons have, as you all
know" she said, IAN agreeable laugh.
had simply nothing that could be
called such in my possession. The lack
made me seem grim and too far from
merry 10 be a successful companion.
So l took lessons of an actor and learned
the mechanism of forced laughter.
This practiced and improved myself
till | had the art TO perfection, and il
became second nature. 1t cost me $50
to buy my laugh, but would not part
with it for thousands. You can't guess
what boon il is when the social at
mosphere is full of Joe Millerisms."

yYarer Claims

Il is the custom of fishermen all along
the Maine coast 10 preempt certain
watery claims, TO which they have no
more real right than any other free
born American citizens, and the man
who attempts 70 venture within these
underlined boundaries gets into trouble.
il makes no difference whether alleged
trespassers find any paraphernalia or
other signs OF fishing IN the locality or
not. II is related that the master Of the
sloOp Ranger, of Eagls island recently
placed 80 lobster traps OF Sears island,
which is rather celebrated for rs salra-
on fishery, and during the captain 8 ao-
sence 20 or more OF them were utterly
destroyed, as a gentle hint that those
waters and the Holsters therein dis
porting belonged TO other parties.
