THE CARLSBAD CURE.

third blissful. After that one Graves mud.

of warm, black mud of the consistency of

the dark mass with fearless hand, and re-

GIFTS HUSBANDS MAKE.
They Are Usually Something For the
Benefit of the Family.

Finally the claimant of the package trip

They All Drink.

A writer in Chambers journal, speak
ing of the Chins of upper Burma, says:
Men, women and even babies at their
mothers breasts all drink, and state of
intoxicantion is considered as creditable as
it is pleasant. No event is complete with
out liquor, and nothing is an offcnse when
committed under the influence of liquor
Not to ply "a visitor with liquorsi consid-
cred the height of discourtcsy and the
warmth, Of "a mans reception is gagged by
the number of pots of liquor preached for
him. Consequently, Us may be mag
ined, feast is not very edifying specta-
Gle. On the arrival of the guests pigs and
oxen are slaughtered and their flesh hacked
of and boiled During this process drink
ing begins. The guests sit in long rows
with their liquor pots between their knees,
sucking hard at the tube and talking very
little. When the food is ready, all fall to-
still silently, until, hunger satisfied, they
revert to drink. Then their spirits begin
to rise, gongs and horns are produced. and
dancing and singing begin. LAS the night
wears on the jewellers become hopelessly
drunk. Some sit modify in corners
some lie with their faces in the dirt and
others quarrel and fight with fists.

DIDN'T LIKE THE TEA.
Bus His scheme To Have It Better Was
Dismal Failure.

A certain suburban gentleman, who II
somewhat OF gourmet, discovered ont
day that his wife was giving him tea at Is
4d.. TO drink. Although he had never
made any complaints about the quality Of
the tea, no sooner did no discover tn,
price than he detected all sorts of short
comings in the article supplied, and wher
he went down To business that morning
he dropped into tea store and bought d
pound of orange pekoe at IS Cd This he
carried home in the night, and taking the
opportunity of the kitchen being empty
he hunted round till he found the tea cad
dy, which was nearly full The contents
of this he threw away and replaced ii out
of his own package Ii had not been his
intention 10 say anything about the sub
stitution, but next morning he could not
help referring TO the improved quantity of
the beverage
This is something like tea this morn
ing" he said. Don't you notice the diff
ferencey"
"No, DON'T" said his wife 1T tastes
10 me exactly like the tea we have been
drinking for the last month, and SO it
should, for IL is the same tea
The husband laughed
That's just like woman, he said.
''You never know what is good and what
isn't unless we tell you. Now, could
have told you with my eyes shut that this
tea is better than what we have been
drinking
1t is pity you haven't been drinking
with your eyes shut all along" retorted
the lady. Anyway it is the same tea"
Now I'll just prove to you, said her
husband, "how defective woman's sense
of taste is. Yesterday / bought pound
of IS cd. tea, threw out what was in the
caddy and put mine in its place. And to
think that you never noticed the differ
encei"

lone on the upper shelf of the pantry"
was the reply.
II thought so, said the lady quietly
THAT was some special tea keep for spe-
cial occasions. The caddy with the cheap
tea is in the cupboard in the kitchen, and
this, she added with an exasperating
smile, as she lifted the teapot, twas made
out of the selfsame caddy as it has been

be to you to possess such cultivated taste!

salaries. Now, why don't you"-
But he cut her remarks short by leaving
the room. Tit-Bits.

Doves and Religion.

Zone thing I remarked and think
worthy of notice is that ever since
Noah's dove every religion seems to
consider the pigeon as sacred bird.
For example, every mosque swarms
with pigeons, and the same exists in
most Italian market places. The Hin.
doc pundits and the old Assyrian en-
pire also have them, while Catholics
make it the emblem of the Holy Ghost. -
Lady Burton, in her account of the
Mohammedan mystery play Of "Hassan
and Hossein," which occurs in the
above quoted work, says:
"Then comes the bier with Hossein' g
corpse and his son sitting upon it sor.
rowing and embracing him and bean.

Mistaken For the Lord.

Recently parachutist gave several ex-
hibitions of his daring skill at Glasgow.
One afternoon "a strong wind carried his
balloon rapidly away, and it was some
time before he could make descent He
touched mother earth at moorland spot
near farmhouse, and an old man stood
close by staring i'm blank amazement. He
had seen the gaudily dressed being drop
down from the clouds.
What place is this?" asked the para
chutist in an authoritative tone.
The old man revercntly knelt down and
clasped his hands together. and his voice
trembled with fervent emotion as he an
swered:

THE PSALM OF YOUTH.

When hoary heads recall the light
That fell on distant years
And CLEAN into the youthful sight
What never can be theirs,
How wistfully young fancy gilds
The smallest thing they say
But the world is as young as of old, my boy.
And will be for all time and day.
The sea bemoans its deepest woe.
The bending tree tops sigh,
The seasons onward come and go
And trouble dims theRye.
The mists of death are stealing ON
Cold temples, silvered gray
But the world is as young as of old. my boy
And will be for all time and a day.
The glory OF a summers morn
On dewy freshness beams.
The young man knows an only dawn
The lily of his dreams
And every year IA nesting learns
To pipe tiny lay
But the world is as young rs of old, my boy,
And will be for all time and day.

Barometric Pressure.

The barometric pressure decreases as we
ascend at the rate of about an inch for every
1000 feet of elevation. At height of 10,
900 feet the rate of decrease is about an inch
for every ], 800 feet of elevation. and the
proportion of decrease becomes greater at
greater heights. AT height of IL, 900 feet
the pressure Is about one-half of what 1t Is
at the sea level--that Is to say, the air at
that elevation is only one-half as heavy as
IL Is at the sea level. -Philadelphia Times
