How sheridan Used an idea.

Perhaps the wittiest of Richard
Brinsley Sheridan's retorts was de-
liyered, as it seemed, offhand in the
house Of commons. He said that
.Dundas resorted to his memory for
his jokes and to his Imagination for
his facts. Unfortunately for the
extempore reputation of this jest, it
is found set down in Sheridan's
notebook years before. BE jots
down the happy thought, "He en-
ploys his fancy for his narrative
and keeps his recollection for his
wit" Later on he expands this into
"When he makes his jokes, you ap-
plaud the accuracy of his memory,
and tits only when he states his
facts that you admire the flights of
his imagination"
After this he uses the idea to the
confusion Of Michael Kelly, q COM
poser of music, who had been wine
merchant. 'sYou will now import
your music and compose your wine"
Finally he lets it off with bang in
the house of commons.

Sin Eaters In Wales.

A curious custom prevails at fu-
nerals in someparts of Wales. Apoor
person is hired-"a long, lean, ug-
ly, lamentable rascal"-to perform
the duty of sin eater. Bread and
beer are passed to the man over the
corpse or laid on il. These he con-
sumes, and by the process he is sup.
posed to take on him all the sins of
the deceased and free the person
from walking after death.
When sin eater is not employed,
glasses of wine and funeral biscuits
are given to each bearer across the
coffin. The people bell that ev-
cry drop of wine drunk ut funeral
is sin committed by the deceased,
but that by drinking the wine the
soul of the dead is released from
the burden of the sin.
In some places it is the custom
to send to the friends of a family
after death a bag Of biscuits with
the card Of the deceased. These fu-
neral biscuits, often small, round
sponge cakes, were known as arvel
bread, arvel bread meaning ale.
When arvel bread is passed around
at funeral, each guest is expected
to put a shilling on the plate.

Habit and Eating Houses.

When a man has created q habit
of eating at a certain place, he
thinks of that particular place
whenever he gets hungry. He may
have begun by accident, have Sc
cured good seat, q good waiter or
got acquainted with the proprietor
or got some favorite dish to his
taste OF met agreeable people. Some
insignificant thing struck him IA
vorably. In a few days he goes
there from habit. He gets angry
and dissatisfied every now and then
and tries another place, but he finds
drawbacks everywhere and goes
back again. Habit is stronger than
the attractions Of superior food and
cookery, stronger than money con:
siderations. If it were not for hab-
it, the good will of hotel or news
paper would be worthless, and
scores Of restaurants around town
would be closed in month.-New
York Herald.

Ends of counterfelt Bills.

At a down town bank the other
day l saw q teller counting pile Of
bills, each one Of which was upside
down.
4Why do you hold them that
way?" I asked.
$50 as to view their left ends
rather than their right ends," he
answered. cit is natural to hold a
pile of bills with your left hand and
to turn them back with the right
hand as you count. Counterfeiters
know this, and so they are more
careful with the work at the right
hand end of the face. First impress
sions go great way in judging Of
money, SO they try to make it as fa-
vorable as possible. Of course, the
safe way is to carefully examine all
portions of a bill, but when counting
rapidly I use this method" New

A DOG WITH a BROKEN BONE.

The long bones of the dog are
those which he is most liable to
break, or, rather, to have broken
for him, as the injuries are usually
traceable to direct violence. When
the parts of the broken bone are
properly brought together, the re-
paratiye process is almost always re-
markably rapid in the dog, because
he seems to understand that he
must not interfere with the injured
limb and willingly keeps quiet.
John Woodroffe Hill, the noted
English veterinary surgeon and a
writer of authority on ''The Dog;
Its Management and Diseases" !"
says of fractures that "thc treat
ment consists in reducing the sepa-
rated portions to their proper posi-
tion and maintaining them there,
when SO reduced, by the application
of spGlts and bandages. Splints
may be composed of wood, paste
board, leather or gutta percha, the
first three of which are retained in
position by bandaging, but the last
is made soft by hot water and then
nodded to the limb. To take the
place Of splints, bandages may be
soaked in gum, starch or plaster of
paris. Our Animal Friends.

He BOUGHT the Sermon.

The Rev. Septimus Smith was
many years ago Vicar of st. Gross,
Newnliam. He made no secret at all
of his habit of buying ready made
sermons any more than his fondness
for old port and Of whist playing
with leading parisfioners until mid
night of every Saturday. He was a
Kindly natured, easy going man and
WIS popular among his equally easy
going flock. One Sunday morning
on going into the vestry after serv-
Ice he found his old clerk in tears.
Whats the matter, Jones?" in
9uired the vicar. "Oh, sir" replied
the clerk, sthis is a painful surprise

PowER OF a sHAMAn.

The implicit reliance placed upon
the word Of a shaman and his infu-
ence over a fellow tribesman may
be illustrated with this anecdote: A
Sioux Indian who had lost rela-
tive by death vowed to kill the first
living thing lie met. This was once
not an uncommon practice among
the Indians
Issuing from his lodge, he chanc-
ed to meet q missicnary-a man
much beloved by all - from whom
this Indian had received many ia
vors. Unwilling, but bound by his
vow, he shot his benefactor as he
passed. Indian usage did not sane
ton a bloody rctribution on the
murderer, since the obligation of his
vow was recognized by all.
The shaman, however, upbraideo
him for his act and pronounced his
doom, saying, s'You will die within
the year."
The Indian, though apparently q
well man at the time, was seized by
s wasting disease and actually did
die within the specified time, VIC
tim to his own superstitious imagi-
nation.

Origin Of Memorial Day In the South.

Origin Of Memorial Day In the South.
An association known as the La
dies Aid society was organized in
1861 for looking after soldiers who
died in Columbus hospitals. They
were buried under tho direction of
these ladies, who thereafter took
charge of their graves, making it a
practice to 60 in a body to care for
and beautify them with plants and
flowers. Upon the occasion Of one
OF these visits, in January, 1866,
Miss Lizzie Rutherford, q member
Of the society, made the suggestion
that specified day should be adopt
ed upon which memorial service
should be held for, the purpose of
decorating the Confederate graves
annually. The proposition met at
once with the greatest favor, and q
letter was addressed to each of the
chapters in other cities and towns
suggesting similar action on their
part.
These letters were written in
March, 1866, and from their publ
cation resulted the observance of
April 26 as Memorial day for the
Confederate dead in several south
ern states Mrs. v. Jefferson Da-
Wis in Woman's Home Companion.

THE MEDICINE HABIT.
1T Is Essy to Acquire and Very
Hard to Break.

sDid you ever acquire the medi-
cine habit?" asked the drug clerk.
Its easy to acquire and hard to
break, and lots of people have it.
1t IS quite immaterial what kind of
medicine they take, but they must
be taking something practically all
the time. Some doctors thrive on
this human failing, and it helps the
patent medicine manufacturers to
get rich. It also throws quite q bit
of business in the way of the drug
gist aside from that which comes
from filling prescriptions, for in
some instances if a man paid doc
tors bills lie wouldn't have enough
money left to satisfy his craving for
medicine. I had Que of that kind in
here as;""lhl;is awhile ago.
"Look at my tongue he suid.
sit isn't very good one,' I re-
piled.
"'What Dc ycu th;nll, "a better
do p he asked.
"Y OH might get another I sug-
gested. 1T couldn't be much worse
"'Oh, quit your fooling,' he re-
torted, for you can't discourage one
of that kind. Something ought to
be done about that tongue
Yes I admitted; it would do
no harm to have it scraped, I think
'But / couldn't feaze him. That
tongue convinced him that he was
sick, and he insisted that I should
give him something. So I did. It
was quite harmless and cheap, and
it did him world of good. Hc told
me so himself when he came back
for some more, and up to date, ac-
cording to my estimates, he has TAX
en- about two gallons of it. I have
tried to break him of this medicine
habit by advising him to see a doc
tor, but he scorns the advice. He
saw one once, he said, and was told
there was nothing the matter with
him.. But he wouldn't be happy if
he wasn't taking something, so lie
came to me. And there are lots like

Strange Hae.eroeIty.

What do you think of an alliance
between plant and an ant, a verita-
BILE reciprocal treaty whereby the
plant furnishes food for the ant and
the ant furnishes protection for the
plant? This is an actual existing
relation in Australia, where a
small, pugnacious ant and the bulls
horn thorn live together under real
ly remarkable conditions.
But for the plant the ant would
be without food, and but for the
ant the plant would be destroyed by
several varieties of insects that at
tack its leaves.
The reciprocal plan and agree
ment are this: The thorn at the end
of each leaf has a pair of hollow
horns, around which is sccreted n
substance fitted for food for the ant
and which is renewed by the plant
as rapidly as it is consumed. In
these horns the ant lives and finds
his natural nourishment within easy
reach.
He objects emphatically to the
presence of other insects, and as
soon as any Of the little enemies Of
the plant alight on the leaf which
he has pre-empted he darts from
his home in the thorn and makes
such'a fierce attack on the intruder
that he is glad to make hurried es-
cape or else loses his life in the at
tempt to hold his position.
