The President In Public.

1t is point of etiquette, universally
observed at the national capital, never
to obtrude attentions upon the president
when he appears In public. On the
street or In any place Of amusement in
Washington the president has the I'M
disputed privilege of appearing as any
private citizen. He is never stared at
unless 1t is by strangers, and his ap-
pearance In a theater is not greeted
with any sort of demonstration. The
president may walk where he pleases in
the streets of Washington, meeting with
no further notice than the tipping Of a
hat, unless of his own motion he stops
to speak with some one. Office seekers
and petitioners never venture to ap-
proach him on the street His surest
radiance of the opportunities of the
throng is to go out among them.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, speaking of
the American customs that had i'm
pressed him, remarked that, while for
eigner' first impression might be that
the seeming Indifference of the public
toward the president when he appeared
on the street or at the theater was the
result of an exaggerated idea of democ-
racy, it must become apparent on closer
observation that it was the highest pos
sible tribute of respect and considera-
tion.-San Francisco Argonaut.

THIS COUPON

Soda, Saturday, July 10.

ed one Of the painters drawings 10
from Mrs. Hugh Frazer's "Letters from
Japan"
Kyosai always refused If asked out
right for sketch. So his friend began
the negotiation by offering the artist an
excellent dinner. When Kyosai had
drunk deeply and seemed in a mellow
humor, his host would call for drawing
materials, saying that he felt an artis-
tic fancy taking possession of him. No
one was surprised, as japanese gentle
men often amuse themselves in this way
after feast. The servant then brought
an enormous sheet of white paper and
spread it on the floor with the brushes
and Indian ink beside it.
The crafty host, without looking at
his guest, sank on his knees and began
to draw, apparently absorbed in his &C.
cupation, but Intentionally producing
few weak and incoherent lines. Kyosai
watched the feeble effort in silence and
growing irritation, and at last jumped
up, dashed the tyro aside and tore the
brush out of his hand, exclaiming ::
"Out of the way, you wretched bun
glerl will teach you how to draw"
And the result was priceless sketch,
which remained in the possession of the
willy entertainer

The following anecdote of three
horned beetle will give some idea of its
vast strength of body, A beetle was
brought in, and, there being no box at
hand in which to put it, 1t was clapped
under quart bottle of milk, which
happened to be upon the table, the hol-
low at the bottom of the bottle allowing
the insect to stand upright.
Presently the bottle began to move
slowly and glide along the smooth TIA
BILE, propelled by the muscular power of
the imprisoned beetle, and continued
its travels for some time, to the aston
ishment of all who witnessed it. The
weight of the bottle and its contents
could not have been less than three
pounds and half, while that of the
beetle was about half an ounce. So that
it readily moved weight liz times
greater than its own.
A better notion than figures can con.
vey will be obtained of this feat by sup.
posing lad of Is to be imprisoned
under a great bell weighing 12,00(
pounds and to move it to and fro upor
a smooth pavement by pushing it from
within. New York SIN.

The Diet of the COnsumptiye.

Dr. Cutter of New York, one of the
editors of The Dietetic and Hygienic
Gazette, declares the most important
part of the treatment of tuberculosis
patients is the diet. 1t should, he says,
consist largely of animal foods. OF
these, eggs and milk should preponder-
ate. Eggs are best given raw when the
patient can take them thus. The albu-
men of the egg is similar to blood albu-
men and is digested, or rather absorb
ed, into the blood without undergoing
an elaborate digestive process The
white of the egg, mixed with water, is
often tolerated when the yolk cannot be
borne by the stomach. Bone marrow of
the OK he regards as of greater value
than cod liver oil. Good butter may be
used freely and should be spread thick
ly on thin slices CT bread Heavy meals
are to be avoided: The patient should
take small quantities of food between
meals.

Soldering Glass.

Margot, in some interesting investi-
cations in soldering glass, has establish
ed the fact that an alloy composed of 50
parts of tin and parts of zinc will melt
at about 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Be-
coming firmly adherent to the glass, it
is unalterable and exhibits an attractive
luster. An alloy containing 80 parts Of
tin and 0 parts of aluminium will melt
at 500 degrees Fahrenheit, and also
forms a strong and brilliant solder for
glass. With these two alloys always
ready to hand, glass may be soldered as
easily as two pieces of metal. When
the glass is heated in furnace, the SOL
dering can be accomplished by rubbing
the surface with rod Of either of the
compositions named. The alloy as it
flows can be evenly distributed with a
soldering iron.-St. Louis Post-Dis-

England at the present day.

The Last Log over the Dam.

The last log of the Connecticut river
drive went over the dam Monday morning
Monday night the tents disappeared from
the other side Of the river and yesterday
morning the last logman foated around the
bend out of sight.
The drive started over the dam three
weeks ago today and would have been
over several days sooner had it not
beenfor strong south wind which drove
the logs up the river for several days.
The mills were forced June % to shut
down days to let the logs run, and five
days later they were shut down entirely.
Many men were out of employment during
thi, time. July the mills started up at
noon but were forced to shut down at mid
night. Monday morning they started up
as the log, were all over.
The drive contains about 100000
feet of lumber and has been long and tedi-
GUS owing to the low water and south wind.

the family by an elopement When she
wants anything, we all have to give in
to her or take the consequences, and

how she does not clearly remember. Much
sympathy is expressed for Mrs. Perry in
her nf,rtunate mishap.

A Dog Story by Pepys.

The following story of dog Of the

1861: "To DIR. Williams, who did carry
me into his garden, where he hath
abundance of grapes: and he did show
me how dog that he hath do kill all
the cats that come hither to kill his
pigeons, and do afterward bury them !;
and do it with so much care that they
shall be quite covered, that if the tip
of the tail hangs out he will take up
the cat again, and dig the hole deeper.
Which is very strange; and he tells me
that he do believe that he hath killed
above hundred cats

Lake Sunapee.

A very pleasing incident and entertain
ment occurred Monday evening on the lake
off Brightwood. Starks Edison of Saxtons
River, who with his family are occupying
the Robertson cottage, came out in his
boat with gramophone and began a fine
concert program. He was soon surrounded
by a good audience in row boats, while q
still larger audience, alert in attention was
composed of cottagers on shore. 1t was
really an interesting entertainment and the
audience were expressive in appreciation.
The notes of the cornet, whistles, picolo
and other instruments were distinct and
especially was this true of the announce
ments, which were so very like the human
voice that some on shore at first mistook it
for the voice of Mr. Edison himself. Prob
ably this was the first entertainment OF the
kind ever given on the lake. One gentle
man remarked that any one who would
bring such treat to the lake was a public
ben factor, and certainly It was greatly
app eciated by all who heard it. Mr.. Ed
son has with his gramophone 125 records
which include the popular airs of the day,
both vocal and instrumental, among them
being many played by Sousa's band and
the famous bugle call Of Santiago.
Among arrivals the past week is Hon.
John Soper, vice president of the Boston
chamber of commerce, who is stopping
with his daughter, Mrs. William Dole, at
the Roberts cottage.
The drouth here as elsewhere has been
greatly relieved by recent rains and all are
enjoying the fine weather with which Tues
day morning is starting out at 60 degrees
at 6, and 40 degrees at 9 A. M.

DANGEROUS Fluids.

Benzine and gasoline should never be-
allowed to stand in bottle or in any
thing else where the hot sun shines on
it. Not long ago house was set on fire
in that manner. Never use either of
these infammable fluids In room
where there is ever so little fire. A
match will ignite the volatile fumes ex-
actly as quick as base burner in full
blast. We make no apology for this
caution, for hardly a week passes that
some one, somewhere, is not seriously
burned by careless use of one or the
other.

she Was Too Mad TO sneak.

The Washington woman came across
some excellent tea in England-tea the
like of which she had never known be-
fore. She knew there was none of it to
be had in America, SO she bought
pounds and pounds of it TO bring hcme
with her. She didn't mean to pay duty
on it, for she felt that no really patri-
otto American can consistently pay a
tea tax after what our ancestors did In
Boston harbor, so she made herself a
petticoat, and into the lining thereof
she quilted the tea. When the steamer
drew into port, she put on the garment.
To wear it was martyrdom. 1t seemed
10 weigh ton. She could scarcely walk
In it, and the hang of her new going
ashore gown was utterly ruined by II,
but the custom house officials LET her
pass without suspicion. She went di-
rectly to the railway station and started
for Washington. The journey will live
long in her memory for its discomfort.
Her husband met her at the station. He
marked her pale, worn look. AS they
stepped into the carriage she told him
the story.
81 wasn't going to let them get ahead
of me-" she said proudly. Wasn't it
a lovely idea"
Her husband fell back in the carriage
and reared.
"Lovelyp he said. "Lovelyl I
should say it was, Why. my dear, there
isn't any duty on tea"
And let me remark in passing that
the child's sob in the silence isn't by
any means the only thing that curseth
deeper than the strong man in his
wrath. Washington Post
