MARK TwAIN ON MEDICINE.


Mark Twain talked recently at the Eel
low Citizenship Association of the East
Side Settlement at Seventy sixth street
and the East river. His talk was more
medical than anything else.
Mr.. Clemens interrupted himself to ex>
press his conviction that three slices OF
ripe watermelons would cure the severest
case of dysentery. He said he had seen
it tried several times. and it had never
failed.
Mr.. Clemens talked of various simple
remedies for all sorts Of diseases that
lay unused at every mans hand. He
spoke of clergyman, a friend, to whom
he had impaired the secret Of his own
luxuriant hair-a stiff hair brush and
nothing else-and told how that friends
insisted on using a hair restorer that sert
him to his pulpit three consecutive sun
days with green hair.
Then Mr.. Clemens began to talk of his
own experiences.
For eight years." he said, 81 was trou-
bled with indigestion, which took the
form of an Instruction in my stomach
after 1 went to bed. The various things
I thought were good things began quar-
reling among themselves, and trying to
agree upon fusion ticket that would
win out. Four years ago / was in for
eign land, where there were no drug
cure, which does not allow, one to take
medicine. Therefore, 1 used carbonate
of soda every night. When the heart
burn came on l took a handful of it.
One night when l had no soda l said to
myself, L would rather stand the pain.
Purely by accident l stretched myself on
my left side, and, curiously enough, the
pain passed away, ] made the same eX-
pertinent several times with the same
result.
When I went to LONDON I spoke to
my friend, who is the secretary of the
Royal Medical society, and asked him
why the heartburn passed away when
lay on my left side. He said he didn't
know. Well, that was in place where
doctors were passing through each day
by the hundred, and T asked him to see
If any of them could tell me. None of
them could. One doctor-a very famous
one, no less than Sir William Thomp-
son-said he remembered hearing of 1t fife
ty years ago, when his own heartburn
was cured that way by an old man in
Germany, but he had never thought of it
since There was a case where a simple
and certain cure was in his hands and
yet he had forgotten it and emptied drug
stores intorhis patients without result. -

Eegins in Joining Room.
The boy who enters the school is first

given a few lessons in the use of tools
ana in doing simple little Jobs with them.
Here he learns the use Of such tools as
planes. squares saws and hammers, ana
how to manipulate them in making
countless little trinkets, the manufacture
of which requires thorough understand

After spending some weeks in the join

The Mechanic Arts high school had its
beginning about fourteen years ago,
when Prof. B. F. Wright was city super
intendent Of schools. He conceived the
idea that manual training school would
be of great value to the city and began
to labor to have it established. When he
preached the matter to the board of edu~
cation, while he met with some opposi-
ton, vet he found a staunch supporter
in the person of l.. A. Gilbert, who was
a member of the board. Mr.. Gilbert
readily took up with the idea and be-

necessary for it's establishment The
resolutions finally were passed and the
manual training school became a reality
in ST. Paul over fourteen years ago.
Like all other innovations, the school
had its ups and downs. At no time was
there any decided hostility shown by the
people against the institution, but for
several years it failed to receive the
popular support that it needed in order
to be a success. While people were not
condemniagi it as an institution yet they
were not patronizing it as school.
There was a reason for this non-patron
age that must be ascertained and rem
edied or the undertaking would prove a
failure. The school was at that time

Origin of "Uncle SAM"

Speculation has recently arisen re-
garding the origin Of the term
"Uncle Sam" as applied to the
United States government.
In the war Of 1912, between this
country and Great Britain, Ebert
Anderson, of New York, purchased
in Troy, N. Y, large amount of
pork for the American army.
1t was inspected by Samuel Will
son, who was popularity known as
"Uncle SAM" The barrels Of pork
were marked "E. A., U. s." the
lettering being done by facetious
employee of Mr.. Wilson.
When asked by fellow wOrkmen
the meaning of the mark flor the
letters U. s., for United States were
then almost entirely new to them,

meant Ebert Anderson and Uncle

and the joke gained favor rapidly

A Novel Pin Problem.
Unique Monthly.

unique Montnly.
Beginning with one pin the first
week, two pins the second week, and
10 on, doubling the pins each week
for ffty-two weeks, would it require
a train Of cars to move the pins at
the end Of q year? A high. school
graduate told me that he could carry
all the accumulated pins in bag on
his back, and was astonished when
told him the mathematical result.
Perhaps the quantity of pins accru-
Ing from such series Of multiplica-
tions would be as surprising to the
readers Of The Unique Monthly az
to the young graduate, and 1 here
give 1t. have worked this problem
some three different times with the
same result, and / am willing tC
vouch for Its accuracy.
My calculation Is based on the es
Innate Of two hundred and twenty
pins In one ounce, forty Thousand
pounds to carload, and twenty car,
to train. Now, If at the end O
the ffty.two weeks the accumulated
pins were moved at the rate of tel
trainloads day, 1t would take /,
fraction over four hundred ant
thirty-seven years to move all tn,
pins; or, made up In one train ant
allowing thirty-four feet for tn
length of each car with coupling
and fifty feet for each Of the million
