Worked the Passengers.

An amusing scene was witnessed one
day on one Of the mail boats running
from Calais to Dover. The sea was
rather rough. A young woman, pretty
and nicely dressed. appeared to be sud-
denly taken very Ill with seasickness.
She groaned and screamed In apparent
agony for some little time.
AT length a person who appeared to
be stranger to her approached and
asked whether she would like to take
a lozenge, which he guaranteed would
ease her pain. He had often tried 1t,
he said, on people and always with the
most marvellous results. The young
lady demurred a little at first. but
finally accepted the offer Never was
cure so instantaneous. Hardly had she
swallowed the lozenge than the fair
patient was sitting up all smiles and
ordering ham sandwiches of the stew
ard.
Some passengers were so struck
with the incident that they inquired
what was the remedy that had had
such a wonderful result, and the gen.
tleman, who, as he said, was the agent
for the sale of the lozenges, disposed
of a considerable number of boxes of
them at 10 francs apiece. What was
the surprise of the purchasers when
they saw the young lady and her pre-
server go off arm in arm on the vessel
reaching Dover! The boxes contained
common jujubes.-London Telegraph.

Pawned His Watch For Dinner.

Many of our well known millionaires
have habit of going about New York
with only a few cents of change In
their pockets, and perhaps none car
ries less of the coin of the realm than
Henry Clews. Not long ago he and
Mrs. Clews dined at place where the
banker broker author was unknown
and where the rule was strictly cash
down. Knowing that his goodwife
generally had sufficient money in her
purse to defray any ordinary expense,
he whispered when the finger bowls
were brought: my dear, will you lend
me enough to pay for the dinner? 1
forgot to bring any money"
But Mrs. Clews, too, had forgotten to
bring any money, and there sat this
delectable couple with millions at
home, but not cent for hotel tribute!
The bankers explanation to the wait
er was not regarded as satisfactory,
neither did the house understand. The
proprietor, fellow without discern
ment or tact, was so inclined to be in
credulous that Mr.. Clews, disdaining
q controversy, quietly deposited his
gold watch as a pledge that the bin
should be paid as soon as he could send
a messenger from his home. In get
ting into this scrape Mr.. Clews is not
singular.
Other millionaires have had similar
difficulties. There is a well told story
that John D. Rockefeller, happening
to find his pockets empty, once permit
ted a stranger to pay his fare on the ell
evated road.-New York Press.

A Criminal.

A friend Of mine, the minister Of .
west end chapel in London, tells how,
In his last visit to America, he preach
ed in one of the larger jails and after
the service visited some of the prison
ers in their cells. One case interested
him especially, man Of good educa-
ton and address and seemingly of
abilities fitted to command success In
the world. My friend gave vent to his
sincere distress at finding such a man
In such a position and was going on to
Improve the occasion" when the pris-
oner cut in with the remark that he
believed in England we were fond of
fox hunting.
My friend, regarding it as a broad
hint to change the subject, assented.
And may 1 ask" said his compan-
ion, when a man gets a fall, does he
give up hunting?" And on getting the
only possible answer to such a ques-
ton he added, 81 have had bad fall,
and no mistake, but count on better
luck another time"
This case is thoroughly typical. The
true professional is not weak crea-
ture who yields to uncomfortable i'm
pulse. Loving a life of adventure and
having a soul above working for his
living, he pursues life of crime with
a full appreciation of its risks.
Change those risks to certainties, and
you at once supply n motive adequate
to influence his course. If every fox
hunter ended by breaking his neck, fox
hunting would be stunned, save by a
few desperate men, and the same
would be true of professional crime of
this character If it always ended in
isaster-Nlneteenth Century.

New Zealand's rabbit pest can be ap-
preciated only by inspection Of the fig
ures submitted by the secretary of ag-
riculture of that colony for the year
ended July. 1900, and recently publish
ed in his annual report. He states that
during the year ended July /, 1900,
5,152,S SIT rabbits and 7,744,63S rabbit
skins were exported as against 4,214,-
962 rabbits and 6,504, 1S9 skins shipped
the preceding year.
This increase in the number of rab-
bits killed is, in his opinion, not an en-
couraging sign, but rather the reverse.
The inspectors of stock for the vari-
ous districts report that phosphorized
pollard, when carefully laid, is the most
effective means of stamping out the an
lmals without injury to stock. 1t ap-
pears. however, that careful supervi-
sion Is necessary In the use of this poi
son to produce good results.
Other methods of dealing with the
problem, which are not so effectual as
the use of poison, but which have the
advantage Of leaving the dead rabbits
trapping, shooting and hunting with
ferrets or dogs. For comparatively
small Enclosures wire netting is without
doubt the best means Of dealing with
rabbits, and every year sees an increas-
Ing quantity of it being erected. Its
being applied to large farms or ranges.

To Overcome Nausea-

A well known physician advances
the theory that the distressing sensa-
ton of nausea has its seat In the brain
and not in the stomach and that relief
may be obtained by cooling the base
of the brain. He claims to have tested
this often and thoroughly In the case
Of sick headache. bilious collie. cholera
morbus and other ills In which nausea
is distressing symptom without a
single failure; also that he once re-
lieved the nausea resulting from can
Ger OF the stomach by the application
of Ice to the back of the neck and
occipital bone. The ice is to be broken
and the bits placed between the folds
Of a towel. Relief may be obtained
by holding the head over a sink or tub
and pouring a small stream of water
on the neck. This is worth remem-
bering as a relief for sick headache,
TO which so many are subject.-Roch-
ester Advertiser.
