An Unpleasant Epitaph.

Two unpublished epitaphs by Sgd
ney Smith were recently sent to the
London Pilot by Lord Halifax. The first
is on Pitt. and was written when his
statue was placed in Hanover Square:
To the Right HONORABLE William
Pitt,
Whose errors in foreign policy
And lavish expenditure of our Re
sources at home
Have laid the foundation Of National
Bankruptcy
And scattered the seeds of Revolu-
ton,
This Monument was erected
(amid few only of the wise and
good)
By many weak men who mistook his
eloquence for wisdom
And his insolence for magnanim-
ity,
By many unworthy men whom he had
ennobled,
And by many base men whom he had

His New Brother.

Yes, I've got little brother,
Never asked to have him. nuther,
But he's here;
They just went away and bought him,
And, last week. the doctor brought
him.
Weren't that queer?
When I heard the news from Mollie,
Why, thought at first twas jolly,
Cause you see,
I s'posed I could go and get him
him
Play with me.
But when had once looked at him,
WHY" I says. Great snakes. is that
him?
Just that mite!"
They said: Eyes" and "Ain't he cum
nin'?''
And l thought they must ne funnin'-
He's sight!
He's so small, it's just amazin',
And you'd think that he was blazin',
He's SO red;
And his nose is like a berry,
And he's bald as Uncle Jerry
On his head.
Why, he isn't worth brick.
All he does is cry and kick.
He can't stop,
Won't sit up, you can't arrange him
I don't see why pa don't change him
At the shop.
Now we've got to dress and feed him,
And we really didn't need him
More'n a frog;
Why'd they buy baby brother
When they now I'd good deal ruther
Have a dog?

HAS CARVED 25o,oco TURKEYS.
Record of Charles Gallagher, of the
Aston House.

Record of Charles Gallagher, of the
Astor House.
The head carver at the Astor House,
Charles Gallagher, has disjointed and
sliced up more than a quarter Of a
million turkeys. At an average of 10
pounds each-and hotel turkeys are
usually much larger-Gallagher has
handled 100000 pounds of turkey
meat during the 33 years he has been
welding the knife and fork for the
hotel This is at the rate of 78,78S
pounds of meat year. He calculates
that he has carved $50, 900 turkeys.
Gallagher does not believe that his
record can be beaten anywhere.
Charley" does not in the least look
like the enemy of turkeys that his
record shows. He is an Irishman,
with keen blue eyes and a gray mus
tache. So adept has he become in
carving a cooked turkey that in busy
times he has cut, sliced and prepared
for serving 20 turkeys in 80 minutes
In just 16 slashes of the great knife he
uses the toughest turkey that was
ever raised in Rhode Island or any
where else is ready for the hotel table.
The head carver entered the service
of the hotel 35 years ago, but the first
two years of his service were devoted
to slicing the plebeian roast beef, ETC.,
but because of his experiences he was
promoted to head carver. with special
jurisdiction over turkey and other
fowl.-New York World.

Jamaica's Queer Fishing.

A gentleman who has returned
from Kingston, Jamaica, tells how
they catch "red snappers." All you
need in the way of tackle is a club,
with which you beat a tattoo on the
side of your boat This seems to
charm the fish so that they leave their
native element and jump aboard in
schools, almost swapping the boat
sometimes. Here is his account:
Il have just returned from King
ston, Jamaica" said he, where | saw
many interesting things, chief among
them-to an ardent fishermen like
myself-being the method of taking
the red snapper, a large fish common
to the waters around that island.
Soon after my arrival I heard how the
natives caught these fish by knocking
on the sides of their boats with clubs,
which seemed either to attract or
alarm the fish SO much that they
jumped out of the water in all direc-
tons and many fell into the boat.
I'm order to prove the truth or
falseness of the account to my own
satisfaction I made arrangements
with one of the native fishermen to
take me with him on one of his mid
night excursions, all the fishing there
being done at night on account of the
heat.
''The moon was high when we
started for the fishing grounds, a
couple of miles outside Kingston
harbor. AS soon as we got there my
boatman ceased rowing and peered
around for signs of the fish. Sud
denly he whispered and point to a
spot where the otherwise calm surface
was ruf1ed, as if but a sudden squall.
Squat or fish, it was gradually ap-
preaching, and presently the ripples
were all round the boat. Now, Massa
Buckra, start de racket cried my
boatman, at the same time commenc-
ing a load tattoo on the side of the
and in an instant the air seemed to be
full of fish, coming from all points of
the compass.
Zone big fellow struck me in the
chest and knocked me fiat on my back
in the bottom of the boat, where | lay
f1oundering among the fish that had
fallen aboard.
''It was some moments before
could scramble to my feet. When
did SO, the school has passed on arl1
the flight was over At least a score
They were large fish, resembling sea
bass, except in color, which, instead of
being black, was red.
During the night we ran into
several more schools, and the same
performance was repeated, except
that I kept my seat and did not
again mingle with the fish in the
bottom of the boat.
81 heard later that a Chinaman was
the first to discover that a red snapper
could be persuaded to leave it's
native element at the sound of a club
applied to a boats side, but how he
found it out nobody seemed to know. /"

years, having been born in 1873. He is an
ardent friend to Peruna and speaks of it in
the following terms:
During my long life l have known a
great many remedies for coughs, colds,
catarrh and diarrhoea. l had always sup
posed these affections to be different dis
eases, but I have learned from DR.. Hart
mans books that these affections are the
same and are properly called catarrh.
"As for DR.. Hartman's remedy, Peruna, /
have found it to be the best, if not the only
reliable remedy for these affections

for many years, and atir1bu e

age 10 this remedy. 1t exactly
meets all my quiremenfs.

The Iauanodon.

That the iguanodon-a great herbiv-
orous dinosaur-walked habitually
on it's birdlike hind legs is unmistak-
ably proved by the great tracks found
in the Weald of Sussex In 1893 no
fewer than Is specimens of this great
beast were brought to light from the
colliery of Bernissart in Belgium, a
discovery quite unique of it's kind.
Every bone of the creatures skeleton
has now been cast in plaster of paris,
so that duplicates can be supplied to
museums. This dinosaur had most
remarkable dagger-like thumb, so big
and so pointed in shape that at one
time, when discovered by itself in
England, it was considered to be the
iguanodon's horn.

Armor-PIated Breast.

Another very strange and powerful
dinosaur was the stegosaurus, so
called on account of the great plates
forming ridge like roof tiles on it's
back. This was one of the mightiest
of all the dinosaurs. It's length was
about Is feet. Some of the bony plates
on it's back were as much as yard in
width. It's tail was armed with eight
big spikes or spines. More than 20
specimens have been discovered in
the Rocky mountains by Professor
Marsh. The teeth show that it was a
vegetable feeder. The spinal cord near
the hind legs was greatly enlarged, a
fact which is not easily explained I'M
less we may suppose that the move
ments of the tail were directed from
this center.

A BAN ON CIGARETTES
Rock Island Railroad Will Not Elm
 plcy Hen Using Them.

Not firm Q pUritanical motive, but purely as a measure for the batterment of men of th= standard of it's employees and the safety of the travelling public, the Rock Island Railroad company has refused to employ men who smoke ci- gaTettes. Upon the book Of rules of the company there is no such sdict against the vile things, but the examiners have Instructions not to admit to the employ of the road any man who says that he smokes cigarettes CT whose fingers bear the tell-tale stain. If an applicant for examination docs admit using the ci- garette he is informed that he might just as well stop where he is and go no further in ar efcrt to get a place The Rock Island is the first gr5at western road 10 make such a ruling. Some managers are inclined to laugh at it, but on careful consideration of the ef- fleets of cigarettes uIon their devotees it becomes apparent immediately that the idea is a good one and will sooner CT later be followed by every road which has the good of the thousands whose lives are in their hands.

The rule has | en in effect but a few weeks, and it is already having a marked influence up- on the present employees of the road. Cigarette smoking at the Rock Island offices is decreasing to a marked degr=e, and some of the frightened employees are said t2 have gone so far in their abdication as to join the anu-cigarette league. Nearly every railway in the country asks prospective employees if they drink, and if so they are told that they might as well refrain from mak- ing application for employment. MT.
