For Henry the Farmer and Paul the Physician,
Did the tinker. Won Blinker. a most profound thinker
Philosopher. traveller. Gottlieb Won Blinker.

And Henry disclosed the weak points in Johnb armor

The rioh blamed the poor for their humble condition.

TROUBLE ABOUr THEIR HATS.
Effects or observation-disclosures Among Membera
OF n Club In Newark.

Effects or AbHentmIndedneas AmonE Members
OF n Club In newark.
There is n club in Newark whose members
seem TO have considerable trouble about their
hats'when they lay them in the rack at the club
house. There have been frequent instances
lately in which members have been unable to
find their own hats when ready to go home. 1t
is a most sedate club, with a membership large
ly made up OF stald. middle-aged merchants,
manufacturers. and professional mon. and
there is not the slightest reason for attribut-
ing the exchange Of headgear to POPULARITY OF
conviviality.
1t is regarded as simple absence Of mind
when a sober lawyer goes home with u derby
three sizes too small for him perched on the top
OF his head and conpels som equally grave
member to wear n hat which rests on his cars.
or when n member leaves his silk hat behind and
hurries home wearing a soft hat which Is tho
counterpart Of one hanging in his own hall. 1t
Is said thatltnis latter occurrence happened quito
recently, and that when the member reached
home and saw his own brown alpine on the
hall rack he compared the two hurriedlv and
FASTENED back to the club JUST In time to find
the owner of tho brown hat making II time
H Sso%.d is o dispp 4Se sofs hat th sn tps ssDid, msm her
mistake, but was still more fustered when the
other member said:
Smith, and this Is one OF Jones's.'
In comparing the hats in his hall the absent
minded mcHlDer nhl nhllTHlly put his own Int
on his head and rushed hack 10 the club. The
two members live close together. however, and
| the exchange was made that night. Another
case which happened this winter did not end 40
pleasantly. a member walked of with an.
other members hat and discovered: noxt morn
ing that IL had the owners name In il. lie
| called upon the owner of the hat at his place Of
business and said:

was TO buy a new hat and throw the old 'one
away"
The visitor. was somewhat abashed. and after
a moment said:
What had l bstter dol ] don want to
be wearing your hat around town."
"You had better do as l did. &c buy a new
hat and throw mine away. 1t was a pretty
good hat and reasonably new. but / don't want

She sweetly smiled and grabbed her train,
And quickly fastened by.
Once down. she vnntured TO inquire,
"The linens. are they here?"
Just three rooms over to the right
And straight back in the rear"

Accomplishing the long ascent,
Her temper sorely tried.
She sharply asked the man in charge,
With wrath she could not hidei

1--WE used to keep them, ma'am." he smiled,
But do not any more"

it presents through every page a most
luminous exposition, not alone OF the
politics, but of the temper, feeling, and
genius of the French people"

THAT PROMISED COLD WAVE.
Prophet Moore Proves n Reckless
Guesser on Weather Matters.


Guesser ON Weather Matters.
Weather Prophet Willis L. Moore has
lost his reputation. The people of Wash
ington in particular and those throughout.
the country in general have lost IA tn in
Mr.. Moore's wisdom as weather
guesser.
On Tuesday night last Mr.. Moore get
up at midnight and wrote a bulletin which
was brief, though positive. making the
guess that within the next twelve hours
the temperature would drop from 16 to 20
degrees. The bulletin was hot stuff. yet
it dealt with a cold subject. Most peo-
pie who read Mr.. Moore's guess naturally
believed it. They made all necessary
preparations for regular blizzard. They
laid in an abundant supply of COAL and
had their houses heated to a July tenn
perature.
But the cold wave never came. TIE
cold wave flag of Prophet Moore deceived
the public, nothing more and nothing less,
Within six hours after Mr.. Moore made
this weather prediction the temperature
took rise instead of a fall, as he stated
it would do, and from that time to the
present the weather in the vicinity of
Washington and all over the country ex-
cepting the New England coast has bsea
more pleasant than at any time since the
middle of November.
In the opinion of nearly all of the citi-
zens of Washington Mr.. Moore must guess
again or quit guessing altogether. Mr..
Moore's cold wave has been lost.

FRESH BLOOD IN FOOD.
The Result of Experiments in Den
mark and sweden,

Huu o"euehs
Consul John E. Kehl, at Stettin, has
written to the State Department regarding
new food for stock used in Denmark and
Sweden, as follows:
For the past few years experiments
have been made with blood as an ingre-
dent for animal feed. A patent has been
issued for the manufacture of an animal
food mixture, the principal ingredients OF
which are fresh blood sugar refuse and
grain cheat by which 1 mean screenings
OF blowings from wheat, barley rye, oats,
etc. Turf null. or turf flour, has been
tested as a substitute for Cheat but not
with success.
This feed is prepared in three different
mixtures-for horses, for cattle and swine
and for poultry. The retail price is s1.41
per 100 pounds. The preparation is not in
tended to be fed raw, but as a mixture
iwth other regular feed. l have been in
formed that at present the government is
experimenting with this feed on artillery
horses, it being claimed that the albumen
in blood, coupled with sugar and the other
ingredients, makes an exceptionally
strengthening food, in addition to being
