Desperate.

From the Detroit Journal.
 After we had been drifting in the open boat for fourteen days and some odd hours. began to think of eating my companion.
 But when preached the protest to him he dismissed 1t at once as being imprac- dcabie.
 You seem to forget that our pasteuriz- ing apparatus was lost with the ship" said he severely.
 I said nothing further then. But I felt that was not unlikely in time to become desperate enough to eat him unsterilized

ing of the day with Mrs. Soandso.
"Is that posslble?" queried Mrs. So.
andso. 81 thought Mr.. Ryeyun was
such excellent company at table. At
least so l have heard"
"You see, it's just this way" contin-
ued Mrs. Eta Kett. II know that Mr..
Ryeyun is forced by circumstances to
take his meals at a restaurant or chop
house, and thinking that a real nice
family dinner would taste good to him
l invited him to my house one evening.
He accepted the invitation with every
manifestation of pleasure, and you may
be sure l exercised my best culinary
skill to prepare a dinner that would
make any mans heart rejoice, let alone
a poor unfortunate who must eat regu-
larly at the chophouses."
WELL, did he not enjoy it?"

as he sat down to the table he wiped

wiped off his knife, forks and spoons,
and then held his glass of water up to

many rings possessed magic power
thus it was said that the ring of Gyges
rendered him wholly invisible when
its stone was turned inward. And the
ring of Polycrates, so 1t was said, was
thrown into the sea to conciliate Meme
sis, and eventually it's owner found it
inside of a fish.
Many explanations have been given
why rings have, from the most ancient
times, been connected with marriage.
One reason given is that the ring, hav-

that in ancient days the delivery of the
signet ring to anyone was a sign of
greatest confidence; In like n the
transfer of a ring from husband to wife
was a sign that she was to be his con-
fidante. In Iceland, at one time, as a
part Of the marriage ceremony, the
bridegroom passed his hand through a
large ring and clasped the hand of his
bride.

but were also of splendid workman

Kindness to a Mule.

The mule was undoubtedly a bad
mule, but Lieut.. Kellenberger, of Bat
terry G, First Ohio Light Artillery, said
that his disposition had been ruined and
his confidence in human nature destroy
ed by improper treatment.
"He had been ~mistreated," said Lieut..
Kellenberger; Il will show you how
this mule should be treated" Then
the lieutenant, with the assistance Of
an orderly, saddled the mistreated
mule in front of his own tent. The
mule offered neither resistance nor pro-
test. The lieutenant patted him on the
neck.
HE needs kind but firm treatment"
said he. Then Lieut.. Kellenberger
mounted. The mistreated mule danced
three bars of a two-step, executed an
individual hop, skip and jump with
each leg and projected Lieut.. Kellen-
berger into the air directly beneath a
thorn tree.
Catch that man-eating monster and
beat him to DEATH" said Lieut.. Kellen-
berger, as the hospital corps assisted
him to his tent. Then several men
came out of a company street and
erected a table, reading thus: where

Primitive Time-Keeping.

In Madagascar, before the people had
clocks and watches, the passing of the
night and the day was marked by vari
u observations Of nature and of do
nestle duties.
Frog-croaking was the earliest intima-
ton of coming day. This vas at about
2 o'clock, and was followed in an hour
by cock-crowlng. Crow-croaking came
at 5 o'clock, and half an hour later the
colors of cattle were to be made out.
At that time diligent people would
awake.
Within the tropics sunrise would
vary little from 6 o'clock, and fifteen
minutes later was the time for cattle
to go to pasture. The drying of the
dew marked another period at about
half-past six.
AS the houses were built with their
length running north and south, these
furnished a sort of dial. The door was
always on the west side. Day was said
to be taking hold Of the threshold al
about half-past twelve. At l o'clock
was the peeping-in of the day. An hour
later the sun had reached the rice
pounding place. At 3 o'clock it was at
the place Of tying the calf.
In the course of another hour 1t had
reached the poultry pen. At half-past
five the cattle came home, and at six
the sun was dead. From 7 to s people
were cooking and eating their rice, and
at 8 they went to sleep.

ties Jingle and then seem to become
numb for the first Is or 20 minutes
after 200 degrees have been reached.
After that point the sensation Is pleas

Liquids are not forbidden while under
going baking, and the patient may sip
ice water whenever very thirsty. In
order to keep the head cool, bags of Ice
are applied from time to time.
Baking as a therapeutic agent is not
a notwithstanding" idea. The Pom
peians employed hot dry air for lithae-
mia 1900 years ago. In Rome, the
baths at Caracalla had their heat cham
Der, and it is said that $4,000 persons
daily availed themselves of the advan-
tages of hot air. Hot baths, whenever
they have been available, have always
been patronized by the invalid, and hot
air was used by the Arabians centuries
before the Christian era. AS is we'll
known, the Arabian doctors were really
the founders of medical science. They
employed hot air regularly as a thera-
peutic agent, and there are records Of
remarkable results from this form of
treatment.

Queer Notions of People Who Some

Uueer Notions OF People VINO Some
times Patronize the Dentist.
Dentists occasionally run across odd
things in their practice" said a mem
Der of that profession recently. You
are aware that many are very particu-
lar concerning the plate in which arti-
fetal teeth are set. Some want gold,
others silver, vulcanite and what not.
But did you ever hear of patients wear
ing their own initials inside the MOUTH
I'VE recently prepared an upper set
for a gentleman well known in theat-
rical circles and in the platinum roof
was set in wires Of gold the wearer's
initials. Another roofplate, which we
were privileged to see, was a perfect
masterpiece of artistic work. There
were three horsemen depicted in gold
wire, fine al a hair, a foreground of
catstone and crescent moon Of gleam-
ing silver-all set in the composition
of the roof. The teeth were Of good
quality, but not remarkable, and the
price was exactly $500. A person I'M
conscious of the value of the inner roof
would have set the price at $50.
every richly enameled was the dane
ing girl which decorated the false roof
of a one-time millionaire. The pic
tured woman wore slippers set with
tiny diamonds and the owner, being a
great smoker, sported an ordinary set
when DESTROYS Of INDUCING in a fra
grant Whit, thereby never discoloring
the dainty enamel of the choice article.
We were once asked to fashion a plate
from the tusk of an elephant, but as
this would have been a difficult and I'M
satisfactory proceeding we were OBJ
liged to reject the offer.
1.-THE most absurd thing we were
ever requested to insert in a false roof
was a tigers claw-a trophy of an In
dian jungle hunt. We managed 1t, and
to prevent the claw from wounding the
tongue of our patron we tipped 1t blunt
ly with gold. After a while the tip
fell off and the wearer's tongue was
torn. To us he came in a rage and fin
ally decided to wear the claw as a chain
pendant. Boosting a substantial set
of natural ivory, an eccentric wished to
have an artificial lot that would case
his own. We prepared them. They
gave him a prominent mouth, altering
his features vastly. We found he was
a burglar Of the 'frst-class.'"
