The Pickles Test for Mumps,

There has recently been an epidem-
ic of mumps among the school chill
dren of the city. According to the
rules of the health department a child
may not return to school until he has
fully recovered. Every afternoon has
brought to the health department Is
or 20 youngsters, some with swollen
cheeks and some without. 1t is the
duty of the physician in charge of the
Office to examine these applicants for
clean bills of health and see if any
trace of the infection remains But
the force of the health department is
small, and sometimes there is no doc
tor in the office for an hour at time.
This works hardship on mothers
waiting with their children, and DR..
Carlin yesterday bethought himself of
the magic touchstone by which Miss
Mollie Currigan. guardian of the out
er office, might herself test the appli-
cants. (
pickles are the thing" said Dr.
Carlin. IF person with the slight
est trace of inflammation in the thy
roid glands takes bite of anything
sharply sour, the face is instantly con-
torted. In extreme cases the pain is
extreme"
So bottle Of mixed pickles was
added to the pharmacopoeia of the
office.
Now, when there is no doctor in the
office, Miss Currigan lines up the ap-
plicants for certificates and goes
down the lines with the bottle of
pickles. If the child takes the pickle
and smiles as a healthy child should,
he may go back to school again; but
if he scowls in pain. then he is con-
demned to stay at home-DenYer

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

A mans true wealth is the good he
does in this world.
A promise should be given with cau-
tion and kept with care.
Do not talk about the lantern that
holds the lamp, but make haste, un-
cover the light, anu let it shine.
If you wish to be agreeable in So
ciety you must consent to be taught
many things which you know already.
Can man or woman choose duties?
No more than they can choose their
birthplace, or their father and mother.
The slightest sorrow for sin is suffi-
cient if it produces amendment, and
the greatest is insufficient if it does
not.
Nature has given us two ears, two
eyes and but one tongue, to the end
that we should hear and see more than
we speak.
Whether any particular day shall
bring to you more of happiness or of
suffering is largely beyond your power
to determine. Whether each day of
your life shall give happiness or suffer
ing rests with yourself.
The man who has 20 little knowl-
edge of human nature as to seek hap
piness by changing anything but his
own dispositions will waste his life
in fruitless efforts, and multiply the
sriefs which he purposes to remove.
Some women think walls are held
together by honey" observed George
Eliot in one of her books. The wise
woman knows, however, that somc-
thing stronger is needed to hold ths
home together, and make it at once a
help and delight to those who dwell
therein.
1t is often said that troubles are
friends in Disguise; but this can only
be so when we know how to avail our
selves of their friendship. When we
do not know how to do so, it may
easily happen that through the dark
ness in which they encompass us no
ray of light can pierce, ana OUT of the
bitterness no sweetness can arise.

LOST HIS TEMPER.
Result Was That He Found just whSl
He Was After.


He Was Afer
The fur salesman was holding up
on his arm a very handsome speci-
men of what appeared to be a Russian
sable, says the Washington Star.
You wouldn't think" he said. that
that color was indirectly due to loss
of temper, would you?"
81 didn't know that the Russian
sable had bad temper" responded
the customer.
Your knowledge is not always to
be relied on" laughed the salesman.
This is not Russian sable skin. It
is red fox. and thereby, so to speak,
hangs a tale"
The customer asked that it be un-
folded.
"In New York City" responded the
salesman, Lives furrier, who, know
ing good deal about the dyeing of
sealsldns and other furs, sought for
years and years to find dye that
would transform a red fox skin into
Russian sable. as far as appearance
went. All his efforts were nugatory
and void, as the lawyers say, but he
would not give up the search. One
day, less than two years ago, he was
busy over his dye pots seeking the
elusive alchemy. He thought this
time he had it sure. but he was dis
appointed once more. and, I am
sorry to say, he lost his temper and
acted in most unseemly manner. He
held in his hand bottle with a chem
ical of some kind in it that he had
intended using in some other dyes
that he did know about, and in his
violence he knocked the bottle against
a box and broke its neck. This made
him madder than ever. and with a bad
word he hurled the broken bottle and
its remaining contents into the disap-
pointing dye pot. Then he left the
place, and when he came back, much
cooler in mind. behold. there was that
in the dye pot which caused his spe-
cial wonder. and he began an immedi-
ate investigation. Just what effect the
chemical or the broken bottle had on
the dye he could not tell. but a very
apparent change had been effected,
and he hastened to try a strip of fur
in it. When the fur was taken out it
was no longer red fox. Neither was it
quite Russian sable. but it was on the
way, and after a little experimenting
with the unexpected chemical he hit
upon the right thing, and the secret
was his. Today he is converting red
fox skins into Russian sable for 1900
firms in all parts of the world, and it
is needless to say he is not getting
poor at it. Russian sable is a beauti-
full and expensive fur, but this imita-
tion is quite as effective for three or
four years as the genuine thing, and
doesn't cost anything like as much.
Cheaper furs that look as well while
they last as expensive ones are more
satisfactory anyway to the majority
of purchasers, because styles change
and people want something new once
in while if they can afford it."

Cold potatoes, fried and boiled,
Scraps of ham that might have spoiled.

Cooperative Words"

Cooperative words'" said a member
of the district bar ARE of the utmost
Importance in legal documents and in
business affairs.
Probably the most seriously impor-
tant operative word in human affairs
is composed of but three letters, and
it appears in print thus: Yes When
she says yes to a man it means that
she transfers her heart and hand and
formally all of her property to him
who asks her to be, etc. This little
word establishes the most important
contract OF society, and, while this
contract may afterward be dissolved
by mutual consent, if one of the con-
tracing parties demurs and backs out
suit for damages is open to the
other.
I'm auction sales the property put up
is anybodys until the auctioneer sayy
gone or sold and the hammer drops.
NO matter how the sale is regretted,
or how much the parties would like
to retract it, it stands and the courts
will sustain it.
IN VIII tney are give, devise and
bequeath.' Real property is devised
and personal property is 'bequeathed.'
"In note the borrower must prom
ise' to pay, and in a bond he must
bind himself.
"In some states in a deed certain
words are necessary to convey real es-
tate. The courts have held generally,
however, that the word grant will
carry good title. In New York, for
instance, the operative words consti-
tute quite formula, and are grant,
bargain, sell, assign, transfer, set, over
and convey That's the old form.
Now the words grant and release are
sufficient.
"In lease the word let must be
used. They have an odd formula in
New York, used for centuries, probably,
consisting of grant, demise and to
farm let and it applies to all kinds of
property In quit-claim deed the
words 'quit-claim' must be used."-

ARRESTED BY A LUNATlc.

Recent Extraordinary incident in - Paris
Police station.
An individual wanted by the police
has just been lodged in Jail by the
most extraordinary freak of chance.
Yesterday afternoon the Marche-Saint
Honore police station was entered by a
gaunt, determined looking person hold
ing by the collar prisoner whose cap
ture he had himself effected. "Momble,"
explained the amateur policeman to
the officer in charge, is my name;
Momble, the inventor of the perpetual
pen. When once you have dipped this
pen in the ink it writes forever; a sim
gle dip, and you can copy with it the
works of Alexandra Dumas pere. To
float my patent | made arrangements
with an English capitalist. When the
Chinese war broke out my partner pro-
posed to sell the patent to the Pekin
court. | declined to fall in with the
suggestion, and my EngAshman ran
away. Fortunately, l have just met
him by chance, and here he is in GUS
tody. Kindly have him sent to the de-
pot" The police sergeant saw at once
that he was dealing with lunatic He
pointed out that the presence of the
Chinese ambassador would be advisa-
Bile, and invited the man to await his
arrival in an adjacent room. Having
thus disposed of the madman the SER
geant turned his attention to his VIC
tim, expecting that he would have to
soothe his legitimate irritation. To his
astonishment the man merely re.
marked in doleful tone of voice that
he had expected he would be arrested
He added that it had been his inten-
tion to deliver himself up to the police
and he hoped that his passive submis-
sion to his capturer would be put to
his credit. The sergeant began to think
he was in the presence of another lu-
matte, but the man on being questioned
went on to explain that he had been
sentenced to three months imprison-
ment for poaching and raiding gar
dens in the suburbs. His statement
proved to be absolutely correct, and
he was at once sent to prison. The
madman, in fact, by a remarkable
chance, had pitched on a observing"
victim.-Paris Correspondence in the
Pail Mall Gazette.

Steel Rails Re-Rolled.

In the relaying of street railway
tracks with heavy modern rails the
question of the disposition of the old
rails has been troublesome one.
Usually the only recourse has been to
sell them for what they would bring
as scrap. Recently. however an at
tempt has been made to re-roll these
rails into I-beam shape, and so utilize
them as steel ties. 1t is reported in
the Street Railway Review that on a
short section of track thus laid, near
Sandusky, o., the results have been so
satisfactory as to warrant further
tests on an extensive scale. In run
ming the old rails through the rolling
mills the head is fiattened out about
five inches wide. and the bottom
flange to about eight inches. Fortu-
nately the old Trails adapt them
selves very nicely to this particular
plan giving an I-beam shape when so
rolled about threeinches deep. 1t is be-
lieved that after a service of 25 or 30
years in the capacity of steel ties they
will be worth as much for SCRAP as
they are today. The nav rails are
fastened to the steel tie by clips of
ordinary form. held by bolts passed
through the upper hange from below.
