Pinchcd the Wrong Leg.

Lord Salisbury is one of the most gem
ial of men when seated with his friends
at well-laden dinner table, says a Lon
don correspondent One evening while
so situated he had been keeping the whole
company alive by his conversation when
suddenly he stopped short, in what he
was saying, and his face was seen to
become grave and anxious. After a pause
of some minutes. during which His Lord
ship sat speeches. and motionless his
neighbor asked him what was the mat
ter.
1T has Gomez he muttered in a voice
of despair.
What has Gomez" was the bewildered
reply
1T has come at last. The doctor said
Il must. / have been expecting ID for
these last ten years, and now il has
come
But what has Gomez asked the ques-
TONER, thoroughly frightened. Are you
ill?"
Il am seized with paralytic stroke. 1
have pinched my leg again and again
and can feel nothing"
"Oh, you can set your mind at rest on
that point" was the reply. 1T is my
leg that you have been pinching."

Had Regard for the Dog.

Not long since John VI. East, the noted
English actor, was touring the provinces
with a company playing AN Ideal Hus-
band" and overheard woman give a
practical reason for not attending the
performance, relates the Chicago Chroni-
Gle. She was examining the bills outside
the theater.
"An-an-idle husbandI' Mr.. East heard
her mutter. I've got one of that sort
at home-I don't pay my money to go in
there!'
On another occasion Mr.. East wished
to produce little sketch he had written
for the music hall stage. A dog was
necessary for the action of the piece.
He searched the columns of the Elk
change and Mart and finally entered into
communication with lady at Streatbam
who ives anxsRus TO dispose of a big

interview Mr.. East casually mentioned
that he wanted to use the dog in a vari-

the door; II could never think of allow

"EAT 1T raw"

Vegetarianism is not new fad, but
there is a new fad in vegetarianism. Eat
1t raw" says Prof" Byron Tyler OF
Chicago, who Is at the head of a new
cult of 500 members which processes to
believe that 1t will find health, strength
and happiness In taking vegetable food
IN its natural state. Cooking, according
to the professor, kills the life-giving germs
In food and that is one of the main rea-
sons why there is so much sickness.
Cooking and meat-eating. he says, are re-
sponsible for the drink habit The very
life and vitality being cooked out OF tho
food, a great many persons resort to
strong drink to make up for the loss OF
stimulating elements occasioped by rea-
son of the cooking. The same. he says,
is true with regard to tobacco.
The Professor has no objections TO
meat, considered in itself, IL It be eaten
raw; but he eschews it for the reason
that so much of II is diseased, he says.
He does not even except the flesh of the
animals that follow his own plan of eat
ing only uncooked vegetable food Beef.
mutton. pork, veal. lamb venison. poul-
try. game. etc. are all dangerous, be-
cause more than 80 per cent. OF the
meat Is contaminated with disease germs"
But the human system demands fats;
how are they to be obtained? From the
unroasted peanut, replies the professor.
The peanut is rich In fat, aud takes the
place of meat readily. And there is where
the Professor and his followers play into
the hands OF trust. Newspaper read.
ers see frequent notices about the pea
nut trust, and how II Is squeezing the
market. II we had to depend upon pea
nuts for the fats needed by our systems.
instead OF merely for use at political con-
ventlons, the clrcusses and such. we
should soon ma ourselves under the
heels OF a grinding monopoly. But the
peanut trust ~ practically the only one
that would be benefited. while others
would be hit bard--the beef trust. the
coal trust. etc. for instance,

Pronunciation Wrong, Echo Right.

The late Sim Reeves was fond of tell
ing a story that related to an early en-
gagement in Glasgow, which was ar
ranged through a metropolitan agency,
relates the Youths Companion. One of
the items on the programme was Hail,
Smiling Morn" and Of course Mr.. Reeves
was put down for the solo portion. The
chorus consists of an echo, and the Lon
don agent assured the soloist that a sat :
isfactory choir had been engaged.
The whole matter was settled hurried
ly. Mr.. Reeves was at first disinclined to
accept, as other engagements prevented
him from reaching Glasgow in time for
A rehearsal with the choir.
Don't worry about that, my dear sir, -
said the agent You will find the choir
perfect"
The concert was a success, and in due
course Hail. Smiling Morn was called
for. When the soloist came to the lines
requiring an echo he delivered them in
his best manner-'At whose bright pres
ence darkness flies away" Imagine his
horror when the echo repeated his words
in the broadest Scotch:
"Flees ava, fees awa'r'
Yet Sims Reeves averred that not a
person In the audience smiled or appear
ed to see anything incongruous. When
he talked over the matter with a bailie
after the concert the good man assured
him:
That's just nothing at all. You were a
little wrong IN your pronuncia ton and
the echo was correct You see It was a
Scottish echo

NEUTRALITY OF THE CANAL.

1t books now as If the Nicaragua canal.
if constructed, must be a neutral canal.
Our government has been engaged for
some weeks in negotiating another treaty
with Great Britain in respect to it, and
it is Understoo that it will contain the
principle OF neutrality.
The reason the Secretary of State ex-
poets the Senate will accept Il. after hay
ing rejected the Hay-Pauncefote treaty be-
cause 1t contained that principle, is I'M
known, but it may be that he thinks the
wording of the treaty will be so different
that the objection will not be raised
again. It may be also that he believes
that the Directing senators have come
TO the conclusion that their stand in fav-
or of a canal under the control of the
United States-that is, the United States
having the right to close it whenever
they think their interests require IL to
be cloeed-is not as popular as they
thought it would be.
But whatever his reason is. there IS no
doubt, If the Washington dispatches state
the facts correctly, that The new treaty
is about negotiated, and that IL contains
the principle of neutrality. 1t seems to
be admitted that Great Britain will not
consent 40 any other kind of a canal, and
it is understood that Nicaragua and Cos
ia Rica are averse TO granting territory
for the canal unless it is to be neutral. 1t
is well known of course that the Clayton
Bulwer treaty contains a provision that
any isthmian canal must be neutral.
Therefore, if we were to undertake to
construct q canal without first coming TO
an understanding with Great Britain and
the two Central American states that are
Interested, we should have TO take the
territory required for the canal by force
and also run the risk of trouble with
Great Britain.
1t Is not known of course that any OF
the Senators who objected 40 the Hay
Pauncefote treaty so strongly have chang
ed their opinions and are now ready TO
ratify treaty that provides for a neutral
canal Indeed, there are some reasons
for thinking that they are just as de-
termined that the United States shah
have the right to close the canal when
they want to as they were when they
voted against the ratification of that
treaty. a few of them were interviewed a
day or two ago and they spoke as firmly
against a neutral canal as they did when
the matter was up in the Sente last win
ter.
In view OF the fact that there seem to
be almost insurmountable difficulties in
the way of a canal such as they want
there is ground for charging thenn.~Tith
aiding the trans-continentaI railways In
preventing the building of any canal. OF
course no one supposes that they are pur-
posely aiding the railways. but their re-
fussl to consent to a neutral canal is hav-
ing the effect of preventing the canal from
being built After all, may not there be
forces az work that will result finally In
the completion of the Panama canal?

Brain. Added Value TO the Product.


A writer in London NJ. A. P. is telling
this story, which he got first hand from
science and art inspector who was
present when the incident occurred. The
scene was a china clay pit in a certain
part of England; the dramatfs personae
were the owner of the clay pit a porce-
lain manufacturer from Germany. and an
American china jobber. A china jobber, 1t
appears. is cute individual who buys
up special lines" in artistic china and
monopolizes the sale of them in the Unit
ed States. Said the American to the Eng
lishman:
well, now. Mr.. -, what's your price
for that much of your clay?"
He indicated roughly a certain cubical
measurement as he spoke
oh about 3 shillings. l should think"
the EngIlshman said.
And just about how many jugs could
you make out of that much?" the Amer
lean said to the German.
"Oh, about twenty-five, l suppose" said
Herr
'What'd twenty-five of jugs fetch on
the English market?' the American went
on.
About Is" the German told him.
The American withdrew from his lips
a very choice cigar, and looked at 1t at
tentively for a moment. Then. Wen, l
don't consider you English real smart"
he said.
why not?" the Englishman asked.
Selling a piece of Old England for
shillings and buying 1t back in jugs for
f5! Why don't you make your jugs your
selves?" the Yankee said.
The Englishman was silent and the
German smiled.
Now" the American continued, wav-
ing his cigar ''in my country this bit Of
tobacco leafs worth about ha'penny of
your money. Only we don't sell 1t; we
put some brains to it, and turn it out
cigar worth shilling. Seems to me it's
smarter to sell jugs than clay"
And again the German smiled.
