They say that in many cases the DIS
ease Is due to 'helminthiasis, - which
means "ths presence of two kinds of
parasites, 'ascardes' and 'trichocephali,
in the coecum.'' After doctors had
consulted upon a certain case of appen-
dicltis, in which it had been determin-
ed that the knife was necessary, it was
agreed to try santonin, which drug
eliminated the trouble, and saved the
patient.

The Louisiana historical Society
suggests to the Mayor of New Orleans
that President Mckinley be given re-
ception on his visit at the old Cabildo,
opposite Jackson Square, now the
Supreme Court building, and the
society has secured PERMISSION from
the Supreme Court to use for the pro-
posed reception the very room in which
the transfer of Louisiana to the United
States took place nearly century ago.
A coincidence of the Presidents visit
is that it will occur on the anniversary
of the signing of the treaty at Paris
by which Napoleon transferred Louis

Cost OF a London FOg.

A London fog is an expensive vista
ton 4 day of it, counting the day at
eight hours, is estimated to cost any
thing from $4,000 to 100000 in hard
cash. No small proportion of this goes
to the gas and electric light companies,
which have to supply about third
more power than usual. But there are
also the railways. Fog signaling is
expensive. At Clapham Junction alone
ESQ has been spent by a single railway
company during a days fog in extra
pay to the plate layers. When the red
light cannot be seen at a distance of a
hundred yards, the plate layers become
fog signalers, and for this they are paid
a shilling a day in addition to their
regular wages and fourpence per hour
overtime, providing the overtime does
not run into a second shilling

THE BURGLARS BIBLE.
He said That He Would Get 1t Back
Again, and He Did.


Senator John C. Spooner Of Wiscon-
sin when a young man was attorney
for two men charged with stealing.
There had been taken from the men
well worn Bible and a small drawer.
On the fly leaf of the Bible was the in
scription, ITO My Darling Boy, From
Mother"
The trial was held the next day, and
the future senator made a brilliant
speech to the jury. He exhibited the
Bible and pointed to the inscription,
and without leaving their seats the
jury returned a verdict of Not guilty"
After the trial the young men gave
the lawyer $50.
Boys" said Mr.. Spooner as they
were about to separate, Il am curious
to know why you carry that Bible and
the empty drawer" Then the senator
listened with establishment to the his
tory of his clients.
I'VE are professional safe blowers
and have been for five years. This BIZ
BILE has a double cover and opens like
this" (here the self confessed criminal
pressed hidden spring in the thick
cover and disclosed a hollow in which
there lay two steel files and a small
saw, land this old drawer has a secret
bottom, where we keep our tools"
The future senator confiscated the
Bible and the drawer.
One of the thieves shouted angrily,
We'll get those things back yet, you
mark my wordsw
Several years passed, and then the
incident was brought back to Mr..
Spooner's recollection in the following
manner: One evening he and his family
attended an entertainment, and no one
was left at the house. When they re-
turned at late hour, they found that
the house had been entered by bur-
glars and ransacked, but that nothing
apparently was missing. The next
| days mail brought letter which read:
Dear Sir-Please excuse the way we came in
| last night, but the door was locked. We never
did think you treated square by swiping our
outfit and we came back after it and found
you not at home. We always keep our
word. Yours truly, JACK AND jim.

WHERE coLoRs COME FROM
Africa Has Bird Whose PIumage

Will Not "Wash."
"The man who devotes his life to the
study of color in all it's remarkable
phases occasionally comes across some
queer facts" recently said the senior
partner of well known firm of artists
color men. 1.-THE printing of a newspa-
per color supplement sets thousands of
unsupported toilers in motion. The nat
ural earth of Sienna and Umbria, in It.
ally, produces the raw colors, and the
same material fused the familiar burnt
sienna and burnt umber' Turkey red
comes from the Indian madden plant.
'Carmine' and the lakes are squeezed
cochineal. 'Sepia' is, of course, taken
from the cuttlefish. 'Gamboge' is the
yellow sap of a Siamese tree. Ultra
marine is, or should be, made from the
priceless lapis lazuli, while 'prussian
blue which was stumbled upon by ac-
cident is the burnt product of horses
hoOfs and impure potassium carbonate.
India ink is made in China, blue
black is the charcoal of the vine stalk
and blister is made from ordinary
wood ashes
"As you are probably aware, the dis
tinguishing feature of india ink is it's
refusal to run when subsequently COW
cred with tinted washes. 1t is what the
diapers call a fast color, and for this
reason is exclusively employed by en-
gineers craftsmen and others.
Most persons imagine that all nat

The well known African touraco (plan-
tain eater is a case in point If this
bird is caught in shower of rain, the
brilliant crimson found in his plumage
will run leaving the erstwhile Grim
son feathers a species of dirty white,
notwithstanding that his green feath-

into this curious running trait reveals
marvellous provision of nature. A
careful analysis of the crimson feath-S
ers shows that the brilliant coloring is
due to the presence of a large quantity
of copper. Fiber and Fabric.

HOW TO KEEP YOUR FRIENDS.

The less you exact of your friends
the more they will give you, writes
Helen Watterson Moody of "The First
Tragedy in a Girls Life, =" in the April
Ladies' Home Journal 'For yourself
give as richly and as nobly as you want
to--of your love and your confidence and
your loyalty. Live up to your highest
ideal of what a friend should be (and
the higher you make the ideal the inner
woman you will be and the more trlenoS
will flock to YOU, but never exact OF
your friends that they shall give you
more than they choose easily to give.
If some one you love disappoints you,
and as many, many more will do IN
days to come, do not hold up your ideal
of what they should be and do as mir
ror in which to count their imperfect
ions. Let 1t pass, if you can, with lit
tie smile that may be sad, but need not
be at all satirical. And never be jeal-
GUS Of a friend if you want to keep one.
If anybody you are fond of forms other
or seems to be engrossed
with other friends, do not let it make
you unhappy, and above all never offer
comment upon her all too evident neg
lect of her old friends for her new
ones"
