They All stirred.

The other day married couple were
walking down one OF the main thor
oughfares OF north couptry town, and
the husband, noting the attention other
women obtained from passersby, re-
marked to his better half:
"Folk nivvcr look at thee. wish
I'd married some one better looking"
The woman tartly replied:
"It's thy fault. Dusta think man'll

SNEEZE COST $4,000.
How Detective Lost a big Reward
offered For Thfeyeu

O6cfe0 For Thieves.
While the detectives were sitting
around the office waiting for the SER
geant to issue assignments and make
details one OF the men, an old sleuth
whose hair has grown white shadow
Ing criminals, suddenly gave q loud
sneeze that made the incandescent
lights yibrate.
"Gfeat stars!' exclaimed one Of the
younger brood. "You are the most yo-
ciferous sneezer ever heard"
Yes, and let me tell you something,
boys" replied the old detective. "That
sneezc of mine once cost me $4,000"
The expressions OF incredulity upon
the faces Of Ills henrers caused the old
detective to tell the story Of the costly
sneeze.
Maybe some of you remember" he
said, about the police in Atlanta being
notified back In the eighties Of two
bank robbers heading this way. They
had robbed d bank in the east, and the
report was they were coming to Allan
tn to meet and divide the spoils, hav-
ing separated after the robbery to avoid
suspicion. I was detailed to work on
the case. and 1t wasn't many days be-
fore had spotted suspicious stran-
ger stopping at boarding house in the

few days later another suspicious
character turned up and went to the
same house to board. knew the men
were only suspected and that to secure
evidence upon which to convict them I
would have to see them together when
they divided the money or hear them
discuss their plans when they thought
themselves unnoticed."
The story was getting interesting, for
the "boys" In the detective Office knew
that no matter how much the old sleutii
fooled other people he never went back
on the "profesh."

Hats and Hair.

Undoubtedly badness is on the In
crease. particularly among young men.
The sale Of wigs gets larger every
year.
One Of the leading causes Of badness
is the stiff hat. Bowler and silk hats
exert firm pressure around the head,
preventing the circulation Of the blood.
Soft hats would be less hurtful; no hat
would be still better. Most Of the arti-
f1cial hair sold In this country comes
from the heads of the peasant girls of
Europe. Hair cutters constantly 60
about making bal gains for this hair
These girls never wear hats.
There are more bald heads In the cit
les, where stiff hats are worn, than in
the rural districts, where the men wear
looser head covering.-Philadelphio

Napoleon on Wellington.

The April Century quotes from DIR.
OMeara's unpublished "Talks with
Napoleon at St. Helena, this iudg-
ment of the imprisoned Emperor on
the General who finally overthrew
him:
II asked him if he thought Lord
Wellington mcrited the reputation h,
had gained as q general. He said
Certainly; l think he does. He is &
very excellent general, and possessed
Of great frmness and talent, but b,
has not yet done as much as some
Others. He has not conquered upol
so large scale. / observed that b.
had shown great judgment and oautiol
latterly, but that at first he had beer
too prccipitate in advancing into Spain
He said that he had shown a grea
deal Of ability in the campaign o
Spain. 1T is impossible, said he
for man not to commit some faults
We are all liable to it, and the Gen
eral who commits the feweSt in mum
Der is the greatest General, and he ha
certainly committed as few as an
one | then obs srved that still
was scarcely to be equaled to himself
Why, certainly, said he; 'hs has nc
done Sc much as I have done. II
has not conquered Kingdoms in th
manner have done, but no is an e,
cellent General. His operations hay
not been upon 30 great scale.'"

He Sat Next 60 Her.

The tramcar was we'll filed where
there entered one of those men who
imagine thet they eva the earth, aud
only permit other people to exist in it
that they may observe their impor-
taace. He squeezed down next to a
very pretty little woman. opened his
newspaper, threw out his chest, and
prepared to impress himself and his
magni6cence on the other passengers.
As he glanced up to see if all were OBJ
serving him, he noticed man in the
opposite corner smiling at, and appar-
emily attempting to attract the atten-
tion Of, the pretty woman sitting be-
side him. A glance at the lady show
ed that she was annoyed. She bit
her lip and the color rose in her cheek.
The nomnous men glsassa at the
offending one opposite, but the latter
still continued smiling. Leaning
across the car, the great man said:
"Stop it, sirl Stop iti'
The man addressed looked amazed,
but refused to take the hint, and smil-
ed more broadly than ever. It wes
too much. This impudent fellow
must be crushed. Rising majestically
TO his feet and folding his paper, the
pompous one prepared for the ami
hilation Of the man opposite; but to
his amazement the man also rose, aud
lifting his hat, said, "Thanks," and
dropped into the seat vacated by our
pompous friend, next to the lady at
whom he had been smiling. Draw
ing himself up, the great man thunder
ed:
"What do you mean sir2 Don't you
see you are annoying this lady?"
The usurper Of the seat calmly look
ed up and said:
"Oh, I think notl I've been waiting
for chance to sit next to her. She's
my wifel"-Bu6alo Times.

Fit Theme for q Poet.

To the Editor of The News and
Courier: Now that the Barbara Frit-
chic story in Whittier verse has been
shown TO ne part Of the usual North
ern Justification OF the facts of the
war of oppression, allow me TO suggest
that some Southern poet obtain from
Mr.. j. E. Pettigrew, of Florence, the
details Of beautiful and true story
about Lee in Pennsylvania and moor
porate them in the best poem of which
his pen is capable.
The substance is as follows: AS
the long gray cloud, bcspangled with
its many star Of deathless fame, was
drifting through Pennsylvania town
little girl Of 8 or 10 was standing in
low veranda with two or three ladies',
who, like herself, were absorbed in
watching the wonderful sight. Sud-
denly she darted down the steps and,
lifting her eager face, said to the
nearest soldier: ooh, sir, will you
not come up on the veranda and show
us Gen. Lee when he is riding by?"
An officer, hearing, nodded to the man
gracious assent, and in moment the
soldier was with the group on the
veranda. In few moments after he
said gently: Little girl, yonder he
comes; the man on that big white
horse." AS Lee came in full view
she olaeped her hands and held them
80 until the great men s:sd ridden by.
Then she burst into tears and cried:
Don't I wish he was ours?''

THE USE OF MEATS.
Shall We Eat Dark Meats, Light
Meats or Less Meatf

shaY We Eat Dark SIcatn, Light
Meats or Less Meate
The opinion has been greatly prevC-
lent not only In the medical profession,
but with the general public, that light
meats are more easily digestible, that
they contain less deleterious constitu-
ents than the dark meats and that
therefore they. are better suited for the
nourishment Of sfck people iu general,
and for those suffering from gOut, uric
acid diathesis and certain forms Of kid
ney disease In particular. This suppo-
sition was based, no doubt, upon the
statements which may be found in
medical literature-that the dark meats
contain very much more nitrOgenous
material ard extractives than the light
meats.
In Nos. 43. A and 40 of tile Berliner
klinische Wochenschrift Offer &c Ro-
senquist publish the result Of a series
of careful analyses which do not agree
with those Of the older analyses. They
show some OF the fallacies Of previous
investigators and come to the conclu.
sion that, while the white meats Of
poultry, fish, ETC., do In certain cases
contain less heterogeneous and extractive
materials, the average amount does not
differ greatly enough in the wi;.te and
dark meats to make either pre- cradle.
In concluding their article .hey state
that IL 1t is desirable to limit the
amount of these deleterious food con-
stjtuents we may accomplish the result
much more certainly by limiting the
&nlro 1,xv
forbidding dark meats.
It is 4 well known fact that almost
all the food materials contain proper
tion of waste matter, and this is de-
sirabIe; most foods also contain ccH-
stituents which In large quantities arc
deleterious, but In smaller quantities
may be beneficial. Tho extractives Of
meat, among the more important of
which are lactic acid, butyric acid,
acetic acid, etc, are by 10 means harm.
full If taken In small quantities, as is or.
dlnarily the case, and the same is true
Of the heterogeneous constituents.
There can be little doubt, however,
that these constituents do have q bad
effect among certain people who eat
large quantitien Of meat and this evil
is without question more prevalent In
America than In almost any other part
of tile world. It arises from the fact
that the meat supply Is comparatively
large with US, and the people are rela-
lively prosperous and can afford to buy
larger amounts Of meat than people Of
most other nations.
Three heavy meat meals In a day is
nothing unusual among certain classes
of people, and on nearly all Of the bills
of fare of leading restaurants and ho-
tells the list Of meats is as great or
greater than that Of vegetables. We
would not decry the use Of reason
able amount of meat, but believe that
disorders arising from uric acid dia.
thesis would be less frequent If we
were accustomed to use the meats less
frcely.-Philadelphia Medical Record.
