present such organization and
supervision are wanting; and
the whole system is split into de-
partments working each towards
the supposed common end, but
with no clear understanding or
appreciation of each others needs,
methods, and aims. There is,
therefore, an unintentional but
inevitable lack OF sympathy and
understanding. which makes a
Seperate system OF each branch

by the above decisions, the liquor
men applied to the United States
Court for greater privileges and
in the Nandercook decisions were
granted all they desired. In this
case the same Judge held that
citizens OF another State might
import, store away, and sell
liquors in original unbroken

Biting Eiaser Sai,..

The cb 'ef finger nail chewers of tho
world are the French, and it was re-
Gently STATED upon reliable authority
that nearly two thirds of French school
children are addicted to the habit.
Even for grown people there is hard
ly any habit, aside from the confirmed
abuse of narcotics, more difficult to
overcome than the habit Of biting the
finger nails. Ii requires strong mental
effort and constant vigilance 70 do this,
for once a person has become thorough.
ly addicted to the habit he does 1t un>
consciously, and is only reminded that
he is marring himself when he gets ono
OF his nails gnswed down to the quick
All manner Of remedies have been ad-
vanced for the cure of the finger nail
biting habit, including the placing Of
injurious and bitter compositions on the
ends of the fingers, but none of the REM
edies amounts to much.
The only way TO stop biting the fin
ger nails is to stop. The Americans are
next to the French in the finger nail
biting habit, probably because the
Americans, as q whole, are an exceed.
,insly nervous people. A man who &C.
icomplishes his determination 10 knock
of biting his finger nails may, by in
cessant maniouring, get them to look
fairly well within a year or so, but fin
ger nail biting, If long persisted in,
ruins the shape Of the ends Of the fin
gers and the nails can never be brought
TO look as we'll as those Of the persons
who permit their nails TO grow as they
were intended to grow. Washington

The Widows Opinion.

In one of the suburban towns near the
capital lives a widow we'll endowed
with worldly goods, whose husband
with sort Of posthumous jealousy, has
guarded against her re.marriage by
providing that she shall lose all her
property IL ever she takes another hus-
band. She has been receiving attentions
for several years from an elderly Grand
Army Of the Republic veteran. She has
been very good to him too. Once when
he wanted to parade with his comrades
she bought him an expensive blue suit
with brass buttons on it. He wanted 20
marry her, but the will of the selfish
dead man stood between. So after q
time he married somebody else. The
widow was broken hearted She recalled
the suit with the brass buttons. She
recalled hundred kindnesses shown
the old soldier. She bewailed his pert.
ldy to her friends.
"Why," said one of them, "what did
you expect? He wanted wife to make
a home for him. You couldn't marry
him. So why do you complaint"
The widow wiped her eyes.
II know 1 couldn't marry him, )" she
said. 81 didn't really want to marry
him anyway, but, you see, it was such
q heap of comfort to have steady
beau. "-Washington Post.

Too Much For Watson,

Only once did Watson, when a captain,
never fail to punish man for intoxica-
tion. This was in the summer Of 1898
at Boston, when the San francisco
took the Massachusetts naval militia On
Its first practice cruise. Among the
regular crew was old Alexander Parker,
sailmaker's mate, who was never known
to remain sober when there was liquor
TO be had. When the naval miiitiamen
came on board witty boatswain' q
mate, while no officer was near, sang
ont in an authoritative tone:
"All you men having whisky on
board lay below and turn it in to the
sailmaker's mate for safe keeping"
Many amateur sailors took the bait,
and in few minutes old Aleck, sit
ting down below decks in his sailroom,
was surprised to have q vast collection
of TASKS passed to him. He received all
these as gifts with many thanks He
was found day after sound asleep in
his sailroom, literally covered with
empty bottles Of every size and shape.
He was finally taken before the captain,
to whom was told the circumstances.

Pecaiiarities of the Potato.

The opinion has prevailed among
housekeepers that it is the good potato
which breaks open when it is boiled.
A scientist who has made potatoes a
study insists that the good potato is the
one that remains quietly In its coating
Of brown during all of the processes of
cooking. Instead of the swelling and
bursting of the skin being caused by
the presence of starch it has been as.
certained that albumen is the substance
that causes this breaking open. An or
dinary potato is made up Of three
fourths of its weight in water, two
tenths in starch and one-fiftieth of nj
trogenous matter. If 1t cracks and falls
to pieces during the process of boiling,
it Ia deficient in albumen, and therefore
lacking in the most important constit-
uent.--New York Ledger

jean Richepin'S Career.

The story of how he came to adopt a
literary career is sufficiently picturesque.
For some time he had picked up pre-
carious livelihood by doing ''odd jobs, -
including such prosaic occupations as
that of bootblack and casual porter on
the Quai Mnrseilles. One day he was
engaged by gentleman to carry to the
railway station heavy trunk. Arrived
at the station, there was an instant
mutual recognition They were old col :
lege chums. What are you doing
here?'' asked his friend Carrying
your trunk, 1 believe" said Jean.
why do you do this?'' Because |
must" Where do you live:" Come
and see, " replied Richepin.
The future dramatist took his friend
to his dwelling--a miserable room in an
attic in the poorest quarter of the town.
Upon the table lay scattered heaps of
manuscripts-Jean's incursions in the
realms of poetry when the more prosaie
duties of the day were over. Looking
through them. his friend WAS astounded
at their quality. why do you carry
trunks and blacken boots when You cal,
do work like this?' he asked. Richepin
had never given the matter a Thought !;
he had never deemed these products Of
idle hours worthy of publication. Pub
lisked they were, however, in very
few weeks and created all immense
sensation. From that moment Jean
Richepin has never looked back West
