A Quaint Picture of Harvey.

"He civilian Harvey was not tall,
but Of the lowest stature, round faced,
olivaster complexion; little eie, round,
very black, full of spirit; his haire was
black as a raven, but quite white 20
yeares before he dyed. have heard him
say that after his booke of the Circula
tion of the Blood came-out, that he fell
nightly in his practice, and that twas
believed by the vulgar that he was
crack-b rained and all the physicians
were against his opinion, and anvyed
him; many wrote against him. With
much adoe at last, in about 20 or 30
yeares time, it was received in all the
Universities in the world; and, as Mr..
Hobbies sayes in his book De Corpore,
he is the only man, perhaps, that ever
lived to see his owne doctrine establish
ed in his lifetime.
"He was much and often troubled
with the gowte, and his way of cure
was thus; he would then slit with his
legges bare, if it were frost, on the leads

with cold, and betake himselfe to his
stove, and SO twas gonne. He was hott-

would many times keepe him from

was to rise out of his bed and wake

The Original siamese Twins.

The sleepy village of Biddenden, not
far from Tenterden, celebrates yearly
the memory of the two maids of that
ancient hamlet who were the original
precursors Of the Siamese twins. In life
they were joined together by a mysteri-
Gus cord of flesh, and they died on the
same day, leaving their property to be
distributed among the poor of the par
ish and among all who care to apply
for dole of bread and cheese on Easter
day. This benefaction has been in exist
ence for six or seven centuries and at
present its value is about $500 year
Formerly the doles consisted of bread
and cheese and ale, but the latter pro-
duced so much hilarity in the village
that it was abolished, and the charity is
now limited to the two first mentioned
nutritive articles. The bread is made
up in the form of cakes, bearing a rude
representation of the twin maids of
Biddenden, and are generally preserved
as curiosities by the recipients. They
are baked very hard and are admirably
adapted to give work to dentists by
breaking the molars of those who at
UempJ TO penetrate their mysteries. Inc
poor of the parish as distinguished from
necessitous strangers are supplied with
ordinary quartern loaves and cheese. -

Nothing has done so much to encour-
age stealing (shoplifting) as the modern
department. stores and their methods
The problem presented is a difficult one
with which to deal, but while mer-
chants have a right to display their
goods the public also has rights and
duties in the matter. If a banker dumps
his cash ON tables outside his desk rail
ings and lets people handle it at will,
he would not get much sympathy when
he complained that it had been stolen,
and if he continued the practice because
these losses were more than offset by
the increased profits which the display
resulted in, as is the case with the de-
partment stores, there would be much

Baked Banana.

The familiar expression In the fruit

fer to a banana that has been baked
in culinary sense. Any wholesale
dealer in the fruit will tell you that 1T
is a banana that has been too hastily
ripened in garnet, the result being
that, while it is nice to look at, 1t is
suuashy inside. Bananas are picked
green in order that they may not decay
during the voyage northward. and are
ripened in dry upper rooms in which
stoves raise the temperature to more
than tropical ardor. Bananas that re-
main too long In one of these rooms, or
get too near q stove. are known to the
trade as baked bananas"
