SneeZing.

When travelling il the south of Ire
land, some years ago, / was not a lit
tie surprised 10 hear every one in a
room shout God bless you!" when
any person sneezed, and the God bless
you" was repeated for every sneeZe. I
have since learned that this salutation
has an origin going back to the sixth
century, when the black plague fell
upon Rome. It's victims showed the
first symptoms by sneezing. When the
African king of Menomopata sneeZes
all these near his person send UP a
great shout, all within hearing take it
up, so that the SneeZe may be said to
&C echoing through the kingdom One
would think the subjects would soon
get hoarse if their sovereign CHANGED
to have an old-fashioned New England
hay fever. When the king of Senaar
sneezes his courtiers turn their backs
On him and give a loud slap on their
right thigh. There is a great deal Of
character in the manner of sneeZing,
and though even George Washington
could not be dignifed when he felt a
sDeeze coming on, and was in doubts
whether it would come to a head or
not, it must be confessed that a good
sreeze is more rleasurable than other
wise.

How He Cornered Him.

A gentleman was riding on the out
side of a coach in the west of England,
when the driver said to him:
Eve lad a coin guv' to me today
200 years old. Did you ever see a coin
200 years old?"
ooh, yes; 1 have one myself 1000
years old"
"Ah" said the driver, "have ye?"
and spoke no more during the rest of
the journey.
When the coach arrived at it's desti-
nation the driver turned to the other
with an intensely self-satisfied air, and
said:
Il told you as we druv' along that I
had 4 coin 200 years old"
Yes"
"And you said to me as you had one
1000 years old"

Learned. but Eccentric.

Professor Lincoln of Brown Univer-
sity, whose death occurred a few years
ago, used to tell amusing anecdotes of
Neander, the great professor and his
torian of the Christian church of the
Berlin University, under whom he
studied for some time.
Neander vas accustomed when lee
turing to stand behind a curious, high
desk, with an open framework, and
with holes and pegs for letting it up
and down. His costume was a very
long coat. coming down to the tops of
his great jack-boots, and with a collar
which reached almost as high as his
head as he bent over his desk, and
with arms extended forward, twirled in
his fingers a quill pen. If this quill
dropped. there ', as a hiatus in the lee
tire until some one would pick it up
and place it in his hands, and then the
wonderful flow of learned discourse
would proceed.
1t is said that when NeanGer went to
Berlin ne happened, in going from his
home 20 the university for the first
time. to be with a friend. who. for the
sake Of some errand. took a most cir
cuitGus route; Neander pursued this
roundabout course fcr years. and only
lv accident discovered that there was
. shorter way.

The KnOckabouts.

Twas Willie's first morning in the
country, and there were wonders with
out number on every hand. The night
before, grandpa had promised him that
on this same morning he should join

But mamma only laughed in reply.
Cant initiate you till the dew gets
off the grass exclaimed grandpa at
the breakfast table.
This made the club seem to Willie
more mysterious than ever.
"You must put on your thick shoes,
and 1 don't think a white shirt is just
the thing for members of the club to
wear" advised grandpa, with a merry
twinkle in his eyes.
About 10 o'clock Willie was ready,
and where do you suppose grandpa
took him?
Why, out in the orchard, back of the
barn, where there was as many as a
hundred hay-tumbles. Already three
hired men were at work, throwing the
hay about in every direction.
There are the charter members of
the 'Knockabout Club" laughed
grandpa.
Willie took the little fork grandpa
handed him, and was soon a full
fedged member of the funny club.
I've got a good name for my club,
haven't I?' asked grandpa, as Willie
began knocking the hay about for the
sun to dry.
GA jolly one," replied Willie.
Every morning, while he remained at
the farm, he was the first member of
the club on duty.
Its the best fun!' he exclaimed.

Coleman ON the Cut.


Mr.: r.. Lindsay Coleman, ex-president Of
the National Cycle Board Of Trade, and
president Of the Western Wheel Works, in
speaking on the cut in bicycles, says:
This cut in the price Of 500 wheels has
accustomed no surprise. We expressed the
opinion five years ago that other makers
would fully realize their error in endeav-
oring to maintain a fictitious value on
their product, and that the prices we had
fixed ON Crescents would become the
standard price for other high grade wheels.
Zone Of the secrets Of the success of the
Western heel Works is, that we not
only guarantee cur wheels. but we guaran-
tee our Pr ces as well, and the purchaser
of u Crescent in February has the satissac-
ton of knowing that his %neigbbor who
purchased a Crescent in July paid the
same price as he did.
Il do not anticipate that a still further
reduction in the price of bicycles will be
made this year"

A deposit of most remarkable mud
discovered in Indiana, has of recent
years been attracting widespread at
tentiol. 1t is located at the Indiana
Mineral Springs, Warren county, and
has been formed by the action of the
water from the famous Magno-Lithia
springs. Through countless ages the
foliage of magnificent oaks on the hill
side has annually fallen into a basin,
and has been reduced by nature into
a pure black earth unmixed with roots,
stones or sand. The water from the
big spring for thousands of years has
been soaking this deposit and saturat-
ing it with mineral salts, until now
there is a layer of medicated mud
about two acres in extent and from
ten to twenty feet in thickness.
The strange medicinal value Of this
peculiar, black, porous substance was
accidentally discovered by an old SOL
der, Sam Stor5, who had brought
rheumatism home from the war and
suffered with it for years. He was at
tempting to dig a drainage ditch
through the mud deposit, and after in
Guiging in this useless experiment for
a week or more, gave up the idea, bu.
meanwhile had been cured of his rheu-
matisTn.
The fame of the mud began to spread
and afflicted congregated at the Springs
from everywhere. The method of US
ing the mud was at first very print
tive. the patient merely sitting down
in the deposit where nature had laid
it. But since then improvements have
been made, a beautiful hotel erected,
and the mud bath developed into a
luxurious experience. The accompany
ing cut shows how it's done.
