I'VE sell our whisky at the rate of two

we do not believe in charging the man who
treats himself any more than the one who
treats his neighbor. Does it pay? Yes, in
deed, it does. We have added an entirely
new line OF customers to our regular
patrons by the device, which has received
warm commendation. The treating habit
has many bad features. more than those

vAGARIEs OF THE TIDES.
Curious Currents in the Ocean and It's
Arms Throughout the World.
I


There are as many vagaries in the waters
as III the winds. Why, for instance, should
three great ocean currents send their warm
waters across the wide Pacific, Atlantic
and across the Cape of Good Hope? There
have been many theories advanced to solve
the problem of their origin, but all have
proved fallacious. Other and equally mys-
terious currents exist in well-nigh all parts
of the world. The tides are SO erratic in
different parts of the world that one hesi-
tates to accept the theory that the moon
controls them in all cases. 1t is on record
that the sea has run for weeks out Of the
Java sea through the Straits of Sunda and
thence back again for a like period without
any perceptible rise fall during those
times. Then there is the equatorial cur
rent that flows into the Caribbean sea- the
eNer-fowfng current to the eastward
around Cape Horn, the cold stream flowing
from the icy regions of the north past New
foundland and Nova Scotia and along the
American coast to the extreme end of Flor
ida, the continual current running with
velocity of from four to five knots an hour
through the Straits of Gibraltar into the
Mediterranean sea, the swift current run
ming across the rocks and shoals off the end
of Billion Island, which apparently starts
from nowhere and ends somewhere in the
vicinity of the same place, and the current
which, starting half way up the China sea,
runs from two to three knots an hour to
the northeast and finally ends abruptly off
the north end of Luzon. Then we have
those tidal vagaries known the world over
as bores. Residents on Severn side are
familiar with them, and those that run up
the Hooghly and Irrawaddy rivers from
side to side In a zgzag shape till they
reach their limit, often tearing ships from
their anchorage: originate nobody knows
where why. The rush Of waters in the
Bay of Fundy is nothing but a huge bore
sweeping all before it up to the head of
the bay till the waters have risen to the
height of fifty or sixty feet. Off Southamp-
ton have the double tides, while at Sing
apore it has been observed for days at
time that there has been but the one rise
and fall in the twenty-four hours. The
tides may be. and very often appear as
though they were moon struck" but they
certainly are not controlled with hard and
fast rules by that or any other body.

Squirrels Dare the Cats.
From the Boston Transcript.

Have you ever seen squirrel dare cat?
1t is the most amusing exhibition OF mis-
chievous audacity. large colony Of fat
enterprising squirrels live in the big elm
trees Of Walnut street, Brookline, the de-
scendants of a pair Of tame squirrels that
were owned by a family occupying one Of
the lovely old estates of early Brookline in
that vicinity, and which were finally lib
Grated to establish themselves and their
progeny as permanent residents Of the
street. They are the tantalizing despair of
numerous cats that haunt the place in
search Of toothsome morsels. The little
creatures are wonderfully tame and very
quickly respond to friendly overtures in the
shape Of nuts. which they soon learn to
take from ones hand. They scamper up
and down the big trees. whisking their
bushy gray tails in saucy defiance OF their
feline pursuers. who, With eager eyes and
watering mouths, follow the tantalizing
motions OF the squirrels as they frisk about
alluring just out Of reach OF the cruel
claws. Sometimes the game Is carried on
so daringly that It seems only by hairs
breadth that q squirrel tragedy Is averted.
and yet very few occur, and their number
and freedom seem undiminished.

ODD COIN FOUND.
unearthed in Glacial Clay Fifteen
Feet Below the Surface.

rect Below the Surface.
From the Buffalo Express
Inc hnding of an ancient Chinese coin Of
a species never before seen in this coun-
try, according to the opinions of the pres
ent-day coin experts, has caused much
speculation In Buffalo, especially among
the geological students 1t was discovered
imbedded in the glacial clay at depth of
fifteen feet below the surface by workmen
at the steel plant. c. c. Conkling, the
chief engineer at the plant, took charge Of
the coin, and he is authority for the state
ment as to its location at the time of dis
covery. Mr.. Conkling, although not a coin
expert, appreciated the extraordinary con-
ditions under which the copper piece was
found and noted it's condition. One edge
OF the coin was noticeabIy worn. and Mr..
Conkling says this, no doubt, is due 10 the
action Of water upon it.
The coin somewhat resembles the Chi
nese money Of the present day so far as
the shape Is concerned. 1t has the square
hole In the center. but the characters upon
1t differ slightly from those of the present
Chinese script. The copper piece was turn
ed over to ]. j. Albright some months ago,
and 1t is said Mr.. Albright intends to have
Its date learned, If possible. Mr.. Conkling
said that the coin was found by laborers
who were engaged in eXcavating a space
Tor one of the furnaces at the steel plant.
There seems to be some question as to
whether or not the coin was imbedded in
the clay. The workmen say it was, but
there is possibility that 4 was buried in
the soft earth and fell into the excavation
after the glacial clay had been reached.
However that may be, the coin is excep-
tfonai. and New York experts are said to
be at a loss to classify it.
The geological students Of this city are
deeply interested in the coin and the coudi-
tions under which it was found. If Mr..
Albright has no objections. it is said that

1T is true this action In both cases was

Held to the presidency, the special session of
the Senate was invested with extraordinary
Importance. Upon the attitude of General
Malone of Virginia depended whether the
republicans or the democrats would control
that body. With reticence almost with
out precedent Malone, except possibly to q
limited number Of intimate friends, had not
disclosed his probable purpose. When the
vote was about to be taken on the Senate
committees three-fourths of the senator's on
ootn sides were absolutely uncertain as to

grounded belief that up to the last moment

night for months.
'Of course, every one knows had Han
COCK been elected Malone would have gone
on the democratic side, where he naturally
belonged. He tried to play big politics. and.
as not infrequently happens, he missed. He
had the satisfaction for a few years of
enjoying vast deal Of notoriety. but be-
yond that he got very little out of it. After

RICE WATER JELLY.
A Nourishing Food Product That is
Usually Wasted.

written Tor 4 ne Evening Star
1t is probable that few occidental cooks
who prepare rice In various forms for diet
are aware that In discarding the water IN
which it Is boiled they are wasting what
Is regarded by the oriental as the most
nutritious part Of the food This fact was
curiously proved some years since when
a detachment of Europeans and native
troops in India found themselves beleag-
ured in a fort with insufficient rations.
even Of rice, to enable them to hold out
until force could march to their relief.
1t was when the officers We're seriously
debating this problem that the natives ap-
preached them with what was regarded as
a curious solution Of the difficulty. If,
proposed the latter, the Europeans took all
the rice. they, the natives. would be quite
content with the water in which 1t was
boiled. The suggestion. in place OF any
better. was adopted; when 1t was remarked
fcult to maintain their strength on full
rations OF rice the natives lost none OF
their stamina by several weeks diet on the
water. When the proposal was made the
of great devotion to their superiors but
the sentiment was somewhat Modified
when the discovery was made that the ma
tives were quite aware that the principal
nOurishment lay In the water.
Since that time Europeans in the orient,
following the custom Of the natives, have
given rice water to patients, particularly
in cases of cholera, as last resort when
no other food can be retained in the stom-
ach, and usually with good results. But
the natives always value this water so
highly that 1t Is never thrown away.
In fact, 1t would surprise many cooks to
discover how much may be done with this
apparently worthless stock. If the rice is
cooked in the oriental fashion, that is
boiled only so long that each grain comes
out Of the pan separate and not as a sod
den mass. the water when strained of and
permitted to cool will become a jelly ap-

To suit the occidental palate the water
should be favored with an extract. or
otherwise the jelly may have rather an in

ishing and palatable dessert. with still the
boiled grain for other purposes.
