an EFFECTIVE REMEDY.
A Series of Orders That ReSuvenated
the Ailinr Slaves

Series of Orders That Rejuvenated
the AiIing Slaves.
A correspondent sends the following
story of On old Virginia gentleman:
Some years before the war gentle
man Of large landed interests counted
among his possessions plantation on
the James river, an estate Of consider
able dimensions. Other interests kept
him away from the old place for some
years, during which time there was q
marked decrease in the revenue. Upon
his return to the plantation he discov-
cred that many Of the slaves were laid
up with rheumatism and other miser.
les, the farming implements were In
bad order and the old homestead was
fast going to rack and ruin. Calling
his overseer he said:
Anderson, notice great many old
wagons, plows and harrows about
the place. Have them brought and
piled in front Of the house, and on
Monday next order all the niggers Oh
the place to be present"
at the appointed time they came.
The pile was set on fire and the nipple
ments destroyed. The following week
he called the overseer's attention to the
sick and infirm horses, hogs and cattle
and gave the same order. When the
negroes had assembled all the animasa
were knocked in the head The FRI.
day following the landlord again called
his ovarseer.
Anderson, I see great many sick
niggers around here-many who seem
to be laid up with rheumatism and are
good for nothing. Give orders that on
Monday morning at 10 o'clock they all
appear In the front yard"
The effect on the slaves was magical.
On Saturday men who had been I'M
able to walk were skipping around like
children: the sick grew well suddenly,
and from that time on the plantation
was most erous.-Exchange.

Portrait Of Cocker,

Edward Cocker. who lived in the
reign of Charles H.. Is chiefly known
to the present generation by the say
ing in common use, According to
Cocker" which means in accordance
with arithmetical rules. saw the 9th
er day amid the treasures of a private
collector copy OF the first edition OF
Cookers immortal work on arithmetic,
published by T. Passenger at the
Three Bibles on London bridge. Only
two. or at most three. perfect copies
are known to the book collector. One
is In the British museum. This par
ticular copy, its brown morocco pitt
fully faded. bears on its title page the
inscription, Cookers Arithmetick.
Perused and Published by John Haw-
kins by the Authors Correct Copy"
1t contains what purports to be a
portrait Of ingenious Cocker" Ex-
perts, however. shake their heads over
the authenticity Of this work of art.
There are many engraved portraits Of
the epoch. but there was only one
Cocker. The British museum COPY has
no portrait. and there is too much rea-
son to fear that this establishment
was added by some ingenious owner
of an earlier century. Cocker died in
1915. This rare relic Of the past bears
date 167S.-Scotsman.

FOOD OF AMERICANS.
In English Woman Tells of the
Strange Things She Ate Here.

An English Woman Tells of the
Strange Things She Ate Here.
An English won an who visited Amer
lea short time ugo has been telling
her country women about the strange
food across the water" OF course she
discovered green corn, but she had been
prepared for that. Oyster crabs were
quite new to her.
They look like Boston baked BEANS"
she explains, 'sbut they taste much bet
ter"
An oyster cocktail filed her with awe
and enthusiasm. She tried it at Del
monico's and thought it was soup. OF
course in England one didn't serve
soup in glass; but, then, neither did
the English serve boiled eggs In
glass. One could never be sure OF
Americans.
OF canvasback duck she has a poor
opinion. but thinks she might like 1t
better if Americans would have it cook
ed or even warmed. As for terrapin,
she sings Its praise. She found 1t much
like Calls head, and she always liked
Calls head. Shades of Maryland gour-
NETS, what a slur is there!
All the buildings in America are pie
or ice cream" she says, but it must be
understood that pie does not mean
game pie. The Yankee pie is tart
and is ubiquitous, she explains
She sat next to an American man
who ate lump Of cheese with his
strawberry pie and turned plateful Of
ice cream over both. but she doesn't
know that that Is a general custom.
The oysters were good, but had most
impossible names, and the cookies:
(meaning clams) are excellent On the.
whole, Yankee food and cooking are
good, but there is too much Of the food
on the table at one time.-New York.

Representatives at the Hague.


Between 1910 and 1890 New York
furnished several diplomatic repre-
sentatives to the Netherlands, New
York city being regarded as the To-
eality having the closest traditional
connections with Holland. August
Belmont was appointed American
minister to the Netherlands in 1854,
Henry G. Murphy, Of Brooklyn, in
1857, and Robert B. Roosevelt in
1888. At present the preference in
such appointments is given to north
western states in which Hollanders
are now much more numerous than il
New York. The present American
minister to The Hague is resident Of
Minnesota, and his predecessor under
the Cleveland administration was
from Michigan. Although the COM
merce of the United States with
Belgium is conducted almost exclu-
sively through the port Of New York,
this state has on two occasions only
furnished the American representa-
tives in Brussels.-N. Y. Sun.

VIRTUES REWARDS.


The baby that's good lies all day long.
Toying away with his toes,
And no one fingers to Groom him a song
Or lessen his little woes;
The baby that's good neglected lies
Where the sun shines into his blinking
And the flies trot over his nose.
The baby that squalls all day, all night,
Is mothers sweet. precious pet;''
She fondles and rocks him with all heE
might,
And leaves everything else upset:
The baby that only knows how to squall
Is dandled and pampered and always gets
The care that there is to get.
The man who quietly tolls away,
With never a plaint nor sigh
Just doing his best day after day,
With hopes of the By-and-By,
Who merely accepts what the world ac-
cords,
Receives but few of the sweet rewards
For which the successful try.
The man who demands the best there Is,
Who asks-as the poorest may
Though others have stronger claims than
his,
Takes the fairest gifts away:
The man who asks may have little worth
But he gets the best that there is on
earth,
For saying his little say.
