REPEATED HIS TALE.
Why He Fell in the Estimation of ,
Young Woman.

AouhS "O"An.
They had been married year or two
perhaps. and were standing on the corner
awaiting the arrival of street car to carry
them to coy flat uptown. They bore no
piacards to that effect. but had that unde-
nlable fatty appearance of folks who live
in -four rooms and bath, ami"
AS they stood discussing affairs of the
household little ragamuffin approached
with a large box in his arms, the receptacle
being filled with smaller boxes contrasting
matches. 3D..
Mister he said to the senior member OF
the little family. won't you please buy
some matches, two boxes for a nickel? I
wants to get me a pair of shoes"
The glances of the two young people III
advertently turned toward the boys feet.
His once white toes, blackened now by the
refuse OF the wet asphalt streets, were pro-
trud1ng beyond much worn 1eathern COW
ering.
Buy some. Jack" said the young wife
You know you never have a match when
1 want one"
Jack dug down into the depths of his
trousers pockets, and. finding FIVE cents
made the necessary purchase.
With lOw-voiced THANK YOU" the little
tradesman turned his attention to another
group awaiting the coming of the stree,
car. The wife of the first purchaser lis
tened to the boy urging the other people to
buy. Then, turning to her husband with
hne scorn tn her face. she declared:
1T just shows you ought never to buv
from any one soliciting on the street. That
boy told those other people the same story
he told us about wanting to buy pair OF
Shoes"
Then when Jack suggested that his five
cents might not suffice to buy a whole pair
of shoes she declared she ALWAYS knew he
didn't really love her.

HE COULD NOT ANSWER.
The Coal Passer Was One of Tho,
Who Did Not Know,

Who Did Not Know.
A well-known naval officer, with an ex-
tensive list of stories and a knack In their
telling. relates the following yarn as one
of the best in his mental storehouse:
Some one had brought grog aboard ship
in goodly quantities, and a large share Of
the crew reported to quarters one after
noon in anything but a fit condition to
work the vessel. Next morning the cap
tain started a. rigid investigation of the
affair. The crew was again lined up on
deck and in turn each member was cate
chised.
'Goodacre, stand out would call the
chief petty officer, and then the skipper
would say:
'Goodacre. do you know who brought
liquor aboard ship yesterday?
" cannot answer, SIR the man replied.
$50 it went through the whole list of the
crew, and the officers were well nigh at
their wits end to know how to get at the
bottom of the whole affair. Suddenly there
appeared a rift in the black cloud Of mys-
terry.
"a coal passer, just up from the fire
hole, came on deck, and walking up to the
commander, saluted, saying:
"'You have not asked me yet captain
"A grunt of satisfaction came from the
among all the crew. He would tell all.
Well, Smithers, who brought the Hrog
on board?
THE mans hand again went to his cap
In respectful salute as he said:
Il cannot answer, SIR
What happened to him? Well, 1t didn't
get into the official records"

FAMOUS LONDON WINE HOUSES.
Two Old Establish ments to he De-
mOlfshed for Strand improvements
From the london Chrnnicle

Two Old establishments to BE De-
mOlished for Strand improvements
From the London Chronicle.
The phrase wines from the Wood" is
said to have been coined by the gentle
man who. forgotten himself. is perpetual
ed at Shorts" in the Strand. This ia
nous wine house, founded in I726 already
hears the thunder of the county councils
pick-ax on it's flank. and in about two
months. We learn, 1t will disappear to the
eye. But the cellars of Shorts" are an
other matter. These extend across the
Strand to the Somerset House. and to n
considerable distance in other directions
In their labyrinths an eighteenth century
employee is said to have lost his way, and
never to have been seen again. And the
tale goes that once year. in April, mys-
ferrous bells ring below, and moaning
sound wanders among the immemorial
bins.
4 new Shorts" will of course, replace
the old, and meanwhile attention will
doubtless be drawn to the career of the
origina, Mr.. Short. He seems TO have been
a character as well as a good man Of bust
ness He would not serve his customers
with more than one glass Of wine at
visit, and attempts to obtain a second
glass by slipping out at one door and en-
tering in masquerade by another, are said
to have been not worth making. Mr.. Short
died rich. and his successors have borne
other names. But Shorts" is Short So
still. and even Somerset House will hard
ly seem the same until II is again faced
by fits monosyllabic neighbor.
Among the host of public houses about
to be demolished for the Strand improve
ment is one in Catherine street which
bears the unique sign OF the Two Spies
OF course, it is a Bible sign. and refers
to the Israelites' invasion Of the Promised
Land. To Judge from such signs the alli-
between beer and the I3ihlp wonlI
seem more ancient than the politi-
cal confederacy between the publican and
the parson of these later days. There
are seven Adam and Ewes in London. and
five Noah's Arks. and. of course, connected
with that, FIVE Olive Branches. There are
two Jacobs Wells, and one Jobs Castle
and one Samson's Castle. Strangest of all,
but not the least appropriate. is Simon the
Tanner, in Long lane. Bermondsey, the
seat Of the tanning industry in South Lon

to the state Of the sea bottom, and It was
found that the place in question was near

Vegetables as Medicines.


AS most people are aware, vegetables
possess various medicinal qualities. Here
are some worth bearing In mind. Aspara-
gus is very cooling and easily digested
Cabbage cauli1ower, Brussels sprouts and
broccoli are cooling, nutritive laxative and
purifying to the blood. and also act as
tonics, but should not be eaten too freely
by delicate persons. Celery is good for
rheumatic and equity persons Lettuces
are very wholesome. They are slightly
narcotic, and lull and calm the mind.
Spinach is particularly good for rheuma-
tism and govt, and also in kidney diseases
Onions are good for chest ailments and
colds, but do not agree with all. Water
crosses are excellent tonics and cooling
Beetroot is very cooling and highly nutri-
tious, owing to the amount of sugar 1t
contains. Parsley is cooling and purifying.
Potatoes, -parsnips. carrots. turnips and
artichokes are nightly nutritious. but not
SO digestible as some vegetables. Potatoes
are the most nourishing and are fattening
for nervous persons Tomatoes are health
giving and purifying, either eaten raw or
cooked. Chill, cayenne, horesradish and
mustard should be used sparingly They
give zest to the appetite and are valua-
Bile stomachics. Radishes are the same.
but are fndigestible, and should not be
eaten by delicate people.

A Story of Senator Vest,


Senator Vest is older than his years in
fact as well as in appearance. He Is ill

cheerful view of life. Nevertheless his
mind is one of the brightest in the Senate,
One day he sank into his chair saying to
his neighbor: Il am an old man, and I'll
never get over this Come, come. Vest.
