Doctors "Cat Mana"

The ''cat maps" INDUCED in by the
late DR.. William Pepper constituted q
standing joke among his intimate
friends. He had the faculty OF going

patients waiting while he slept soundly
In his private office for three minutes
or five minutes. or as long as be wish.
ed. Then he would resume his duties,
greatly refreshed.
Another prominent physician has a
queer habit Of mapping. although he
only takes one a day and that directly
after luncheon. which with him is a
hearty meal. He repairs to his Office
and throws himself In a chair at a
point where the polished wood floor is
not covered by the rug. He holds a
bunch OF keys between the forefinger
and thumb of his right hand, which is
allowed TO hang loosely over the arm OF
the chair. Then he dozes Off, but 1t is
never more than a doze. for the mo-
ment his fingers relax the keys drop to
the bare floor. acting as an alarm clock

Even a Scotchman cannot always be
humorous. II he would. Like other
people. however, he is sometimes
funny without meaning to be. The
Scottish American thinks that the
message sent by young man In
Peeblesshire to his waiting bride may
have kept her from worrying over his
nonappearance, but that she must after
all have received IL with mixed feel

The bride elect lived In a village some
distance from the home OF William, the
bridegroom. The wedding was to be at
her home. On the eventful day the
young man started for the station. but
on the way met the village grocer, who
talked so entertainingly that William
missed his train.
Naturally he was In what Is known
as state OF mind" Something must
be done and done at once. So he sent
the following telegram:
Don't marry till come. WILLIAM
II the bride elect knew her William,
she probably knew how he felt when he
sent the message and forgave the men

she must have looked upon as a need

In his volume on Ellen Terry Glenn
ent Scott tells OF somewhat self sat
isfed, valnglorious and grumpy actor
who complained that the noted Eng
lish actress continually laughed In one
Of his most important scenes. He had
not the courage to tell her his objec-
lions, so he wrote her a letter Of heart
broken complaint. In which he said:
Il am extremely sorry to tell you that
1t Is impossible for me TO make any eff
feet In such and such scene IL you
persist in laughing at me on the stage
and so spelling the situation. May
ask you to change your attitude, as
the scene is most trying one~

and to the point for she wrote: "You
are quite mistaken. | never laugh at
you on the stage. I wait till l get

On one occasion Sims Reeves, the
famous tenor was stranded at coun-

was cold and miserable, and the singer
was naturally not in the best Of tenn

recognized him from the published por-
traits entered the waiting room.
Good evening, Mr.. Sims Reeves" he
said.
GOOD evening. my man." replied the
vocalist, getting ready the necessary
tip. But the man sought for informa-
ton rather than tips.
"They tell me you earn a heap Of
money" he remarked.
"Ohv murmured Mr.. Reeves.
"And yet" pursued the porter, you
don't work hard. Not 50 hard as do.

p'raps ten times what do-eh?"
what do you earn?" asked the
singer.

How Water Causes n Fire

One would hardly believe that bot
tie of water standing harmlessly on
table could be the cause of a fire.
Nevertheless such is the case. In my
laboratory the other day detected the
odor of burning wood and, seeking the
cause, noticed n tiny wreath Of smoke
rising from the counter. Setting aside
flask of water that stood close by
sponged over the burning spot with a
damp cloth. Shortly after l again de-
tected the odor of burning wood, when.
to my surprise, | discovered another
burning spot on the table close to the
water flask. The flask was standing
in the sunlight. thereby concentrating
the rays TO focus on the top of the
table, acting in this case as a burning
glass. A handful of highly combusti-
BILE material was thrown over the burn
ing spot, catching fire almost immedi-
ately.
| cite this instance merely as warn
ing to chemists and apothecaries, who
may not realize how easily a fire may
be started in their storerooms by the
sun shining through bottles, TASKS and
carboys Of liquid, converting them for
the time being into burning glasses of
great power. | have in mind now the
instance of a fire originating in a
storeroom from this cause.-New York
