Honey For Scholars.

Honey and bread was q great meat
with Pythagoras and his scholars and
counted sufficient food for tenn
perate life" wrote DIR. Thomas Muffett
in 1876, ssfor bread strengthens the
body, and honey both nourishes much
and also cleanseth away superfuities.
''Pollo Romulus being asked by Au-
gustus, the emperor, how he lived so
long! By nourishing (saith he) my In
wards with honey and my outward
parts with ayle. The like answer like
wise made Democritus, being demand
ed the like question. Furthermore, it
is so general meat through Russia
that the children eat it on their bread
every morning as ours do butter to
their breakfast; with whom and with
old men it agreeth exceeding well,
cleansing their breasts, opening their
pipes, warming their stomachs, resist
ing putrefaction and engendering sweet
| and commendable blood. Raw honey
is never good, therefore clarity it thor
oughly at the fire; also let it be honey
that ran and was never puffed out Of
the combs and Of young bees rather
than old, feeding upon thine, rose
mary, flowers and such sweet and
wholesome herbs. Then may you
boldly give it as meat to young chill
dren, to cold and moist compilations
and to rheumatic old men, especially
I in northern countries and cold climates
and in the winter months"

The Yakira Valley, Washington, is
the most attractive irrigation PROPOSE :
ton in the United States. All but
tropical fruits grow luxuriantly, while
alfalfa is sure and profitable crop.
Twenty-acre ranch can be purchased
for $500 on easy terms. The Northern
Pacific R'y traverses the entire length
of the valley, thus ensuring good trans
portation facilities. Good schools and
churches abound, and rural mail routes
are established throughout1the valley,
which will soon be one large village.
Thunderstorms are rare and cyclones
unknown. The climate, which is very
mild, is extremely beneficial to con
sumptive and those afflicted with bron

crane Carried HI. satche1.

Arthur A. Leeds of Tioga met Ste
phen Crane once under circumstances
which showed how little the novelist
traded upon the fame that came to
him. Mr.. Leeds got off train at Del
aware Water Gap. The only man on
the platform was bumped up against
the side of the depot gazing into space.
He looked like farmers boy. His
trousers were baggy, his coat battered
and his hat rowdy.
"Say, carry this stuff to the hotel for
me, will you| asked Mr.. Leeds. The
man grasped the bags and started in
the wake of Mr.. Leeds toward the
hotel.
When the hotel was reached, Mr.
Leeds lost sight of his porter for few
minutes while he greeted friends
Looking around for his baggage, he
saw the man who had packed it to the
hotel sitting on the piazza with hit
legs on the railing. He was reading a
book.
"who's that man?' asked Mr. Leeds
"Oh, that's Stephen Crane" some one
said. The next day Crane left the place
before Mr.. Leeds had an opportunity
for explanations.-Ph Nortt

Blackening one. shoes.

There are men in New York today
whose fortunes are not small, yet they
never pay bootblack cent a year for
shining their shoes. They are their
own bootblacks, and not one is asham-
ed of it. You may depend on one thing
these men were reared in the coun-
try, where they were educated in the
use of the brush. I said to an acquaint-
ance some time ago, when he COM
planned that his 12-year-old son had no
exercise about the house, ''Why don't
you make him blacken the family
shoes every morning?"
He was stunned at the suggestion.
"My son blacken bootsw he walled,
throwing up his hands. "Do you think
l would disgrace my own boy? give
him 10 cents every morning to have
his shoes shined at the corner where
have mine shined.."
/ reminded him that he was teaching
that boy to be an upstart and that he
was giving him $1,000 year which he
stole from his friends. Blackening
shoes is splendid exercise. Many a
ragged street Arab is too proud to do
it because of some fool father like the
one mentioned, but such father
ought to be in the business instead Of
robbing his friends. Let every boy
learn to shine shoes. He may have to
make living at it some day. There
is money in the business.-New York

The Last chine.e Actress.

Many visitors to the Celestial king
dom have noted the absence of women
from the stage. ALI the roles in Chi
nese play are taken by men. This sin
gular custom is traced back to wom-
ans whim. The Emperor Yung
Tsching married an actress at the be-
ginning Of the eighteenth century,
when women were allowed on the
stage. The emperor died and the en-
press dowager ruled the country for
her son, the Prince Kim Sung.
To satisfy her vanity this shrewd
and most peculiar woman issued a
decree in the year 1916 forbidding. I'M
der penalty Of instant death by the
sword of the executioner, any member
of her sex to appear on the Chinese
stage. "After me, no one," said the
empress dowager, and since her day no
woman within the reach of Chinese
law has dared to test the strength of
her decree. In Hongkong "a British
colony women have played in Chinese
theaters. but never as yet, we believe,
in San Francisco.

Laughter has been fatal to at least
one bill in the house of commons. In
the days of O'Connell Thomas Massey,
who was sworn foe to everything
that suggested popery, introduced a
bill to abolish the suffix "mas" from all
words in our language and to substi-
tute tide" thus converting Christ
mas" into "Christtide," and so on.
When he had ended his Introductory
speech, O'Connell got up and said:
"Since the honorable member has such
an insuperable objection to the word
mas why does he not set a good ex-
ample by anglicizing his own name?
In that case we should be quite willing
to speak of him as Thotlde Tidey."

laughter, and Mr.. Massey never recov-
cred sufficient courage to speak of the

ters to Nine. Hanska, Balzac thus de.
scribes George Sand as he saw her in
1898:
II found her in her dressing gown,
smoking an after dinner cigar beside
the fire in an immense room. She wore
very pretty yellow slippers with
fringes, coquettish stockings and red
trousers. Physically she has acquired
a double chin, like canon. She has
not single white hair, notwithstand-
ing her terrible misfortunes. Her beau
tiful eyes are still as sparkling as ever.
When sunk in thought, sbA looks Just
as stupid as formerly, for, rs told her
after observing her, the expression of
her face lies wholly in her eyes.
"She goes to bed at 6 in the morn
ing and rises at noon. She is an ex-.
cellent mother, worshiped by her chill
dren, but she dresses her daughter
Solange in boys clothes, and that is
not well. She is like man Of 90,
morally, for she is innately chaste and
artist only on the surface. She smokes
to excess and plays perhaps a little
too much the great lady"

A STRANGE WATER FAMINE

UNUSUAL LACK OF POWER-PEOPLE
CARRYING WATER

For day and half there has been a water
famine in pers OF the Twenty-s xth Ward. Brooklyn
For radius of half a mile about Arlngton-ave
and Ashford-st.. families have been without drop
of water and the Indignation is intense At mid
night the famine still The strange sight
presented last night of men. women boys and
girls carrying buckets and pals TO fire hydrant
been unscrewed. and the receptacles were filled
with water. The famine began suddenly at
s O'Clock Tuesday evening
The Water Supply Department Is trying TO rem
edy the lack OF water. which Is due to insufficient
pressure Yesterday men were at work at Herki-
and Sackman SITS. connecting the mains OF
the Brooklyn City " Nater Works with the pipes Of
the Long Island Water Supply Company. Henry
Hawkes., superintendent OF distributions and
pairs OF the Water Department said TO a Tribune
reporter that object of this work to obtain
free circulation of water. that failure OF
the pressure in one district would be supplied oy
the extra force OF the supply in another territory
The famine in East New-York throws side!isht
upon the plant of the Long Island Water Supply
Department. Ii was only recently that Controller
Co,er sent a check for $50 60 the purchase price
of the plant.
Robert A. Van Buren. consulting engineer of
the Water Supply Department, said yesterday:
The trouble is that the city has purchased a sys-
tenn that Is no good. Instead of finding that the
plant of the Lcng Island Water Supply Company
was sufficient fer all the people out there, we dis
covered that The supply is almost exhausted. and
are forced to give the people their water from
the old city supply. We are busy making connec-
What puzzles me IS that there seemed ed TO be
session of the plant and row there is a scarcity.
East New-York has been getting it's supply of
water from the wells belonging to the Long Island
Water Supply Company, near Jamaica Bay. THESE
wells are in salty ground.
