Extraordinary Drinks.

OF the many extraordinary drinks
regularly consumed the blood of live
horses may perhaps be considered the
most so. Marco Polo and Carpini were
the first to tell the world of the practice
of the Tartars and Mongols opening the
vein in their horses necks, taking a
drink and closing the wound again. As
far as can be seen this has been the
practice from time immemOrial.
There is wine habitually consumed
in China which is made from the flesh
of lambs reduced to paste with milk or
bruised into pulp with rice and then
fermented. 1t is exceptionally strong
and nutritious and powerfully slim
ulating to the physical organism.
The Laplanders drink "A great deal of
smoked snow water, and one of the ma
tional drinks of the Tonquinese is ar
rack favored with chickens blood. The
list would scarcely be complete without
mention of absinthe, which may be call
ed the national spirituous drink of
France. 1t is horrible compound of
alcohol, anise, coriander, fennel, worm
wood, indigo and sulphate of copper. 1t
is strong, nasty and moral and phys
zeal poison.

Snow Trade In Sicily.

The principal export from Catania is
snow, in which Il most lucrative trade
is carried on in Malta and parts OF
southern Italy. 1t is collected during
the winter II hollows in the mountains
and covered with ashes to prevent its
thawing. 1t is brought down in pan
niers on mules to the coast at night.
The revenue derived from this source is
immense and renders the Prince of Pa
terno one of the richest men in Sicily
Snow is the universal luxury from the
highest to the lowest rank and is sold
at the rate of 4 cents for 80 ounces
The poorest cobbler there would rather
deprive himself of his dinner than of
his glass of "aqua gelata."
1t is extensively used in hospitals and
scarcity of it would be considered al
most as great misfortune as famine
and would occasion popular tumult.
To guard against such accidents the
government at Naples has made the
providing of it a monopoly, the con-
tractors being required to give security
to the amount of 60, 600 ducats, which
sum is forfeited if it can be proved that
for one hour the supply has not been
equal to the demand.

The Savage and the Birdcagc.

y gentleman who went out with
Stanley to Africa took with him a num-
Der of birdcages, i'll which he hoped to
bring back some specimens of the rarer
birds of the interior Owing to the
death of his carriers he was Obliged to
throw away the birdcages with a num-
Der of other articles. These were seized
by the natives in great glee, though
they did not know what to do with
them, but they eventually decided that
the small circular cages were kind of
headgear, and, knocking off the bottom,
the chiefs strutted about in them with
evident pride. One chief, thinking him
self more wise than the others and hav-
ing seen the white men eat at table out
of dishes, thought they Were receptacles
for food and took his meals from one,
tremendously opening and shutting the
door between each mouthful.

Funny Toothaehe Cures.

Before the days of dentists, and when
people generally believed in the value
of charms, there were ever so many
mysterious ways of preventing tooth
ache.
One of these was to dress the right
side of the body first-right stocking,
right shoe, right sleeve, right glove. \
favorite plan in Scotland was to draw
tooth, salt it well and burn it in full
view on glowing Goals. In Cornwall
many save their teeth by biting the first
young ferns that appear.
The custom of catching common
ground mole. cutting off the paws while
the little creature still lives, and wear
ing them, is traced to Staffordshire,
England. Some people who are fond of
exercise believe that walking II miles
mo more, no less-to get splinter of
the toothache tree that grows particu-
larly well in Canada and Virginia will
drive away the worst ache and pain
that ever tortured poor tooth.
The belief that toothache is cansed
by worm at the roots is prevalent in
many parts of the world; hence this
cure: Reduce several different kinds of
herbs-the greater variety the better
to powder. Put glowing cinder into
this powder and inhale the incense.
Afterward breathe into cup of water
and the worm will be gone forever.

Remarkable Rescue.

Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfeld,
Ill, makes the statement that she
caught cold, which settled on her
lungs; she was treated for month by
her family physician, but grew worse.
He told her she was hopeless victim
of consumption and that no medicine
could cure her. Her druggist sug-
gested DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption; she bought bottle
and to her delight found herself bene-
fitted from first dose. She continued
its use and after taking six bottles,
found herself sound and we'll; now
does her own homework, and is as
well as she ever was. Free trial bot
ties of this great discovery at Hartz &
Ullemeyer's drug store. Only so

THE NAMING OF JOHN BULL.
DR.. ArbutI,nOt Was the Man Who
Thus Dubbed Great Britain.

| DIR. John Arbuthnot, one of the many
| royal physicians TO whom the Scotch
city of Aberdeen has given birth, was
4 the author of John Bulls being. AL
| most forgotten now by all but the
srudite, who remember him as the init
mate of Pope and Swift, Arbuthnot
| christened the British nation in bulk as
John Bull in the political strife Incl
| dental TO the dismissal of the Wing
| ministry Of ITO, when the able and
avaricious Marlborough saw the begin
ming OF the decline OF his brilliant for
| tunes.
1.-The History of John Bull" was a
satire on the political events preceding
| the treaty of Utrecht il l713, written
| by Arbuthnot. In 1904 he had been Gre
ated physician extraordinary to the
queen in recognition OF his services in
| saving the life of Anne's husband.
| Prince George of Denmark. He had be-
come the queens medical attendant. a
position of no mean importance at a
| time when so much depended on the
| succession to the crown, and he was
closely i'll touch with court life.
For the better understanding of the
following history the reader ought to
know that Bull in the main was an
honest, plain dealing fellow, choleric,
bold and Of a very inconstant temper.
He dreaded not old Lewis, either at
backsword, single falchion or cudgel
play, but then he was very apt to quar-
rel with his best friends, especially if
they pretended to govern him. If you
fiattered him, you might lead him like
a child. Johns temper depended very
much on the air; his spirits rose and fell
with his weather glass.
John was quick and understood his
business very we'll, but no man alive
was more careless in looking into his
accounts or more cheated by partners. "

Charlestown harbor, with the nose of
the ship facing west and not 25 fees
from the Charlestown bridge.
However gallant and brave an officer
Elliot was = and his gallantry and
bravery have never been successfully
questioned - he was no diplomat.
Everyone in Boston knew that the uni
versal position of anchored ships was
pointing northeast, on account of the
northeast winds. The Columbus and
the Independence, two other warships,
anchored in the harbor in the custom
airy way, bore mute testimony TO this
well-known fact, and higher and high
er ran the feeling of the Middlesex
county men against the daily insult to
their political faith. 1t was, too, dan
gerous time to trifle with mems be-
liefs, for the romantic revival was still
at high tide and ideals were the main
spring of action.
1t was under these circumstances
that Capt. Dewey, then a hardy young
sailor of IS years, determined to avenge
the fancied insult. Consulting but one

Many passengers were injured, but

The bursting of a one-thousand
pound fly wheel in one of the engine
rooms of the Cooperative Barrel COM
pany, Minneapolis, did about $1,000
damage, viii be the cause of about IS
men taking lay-of until the damage
wrought can be repaired.
The hywheel was about six feet in
diameter and was attached to four

drying machine in one section of the
plant, and the printing machine in an
other. When it let go it few into a
dozen pieces, each one seemingly going
in different direction. The force
with which the wheel burst was guf-

Wonderful Well.

Harry Hurl, a farmer living five miles
from stephen reports that his hired
men were digging a well on his farm
and had got down to depth of A
feet when the bottom suddenly fell in
and one of the men was thrown into a
whirl of water and disappeared and
has not been seen or heard Of since.
The other man when he felt that the
ground was giving away under him,
caught onto the rope that was used in
hosting the dirt up and was drawn to
the top. Mr.. Hurl then got a rope and
chain about 100 feet long and attached
a weight to it and dropped it in this
well but il did not touch bottom and
was washed rapidly west, showing that
large body of water was underneath.
