Wendell Phillips, the lecturer, when
he travelled carried a sleeping bag,
into which he crawled at night
when at strange hotel. 1t remind

Sheridan carried while on the cam
paign against the Indians in mid
winter. 1t was made of fur, with
the fur inside, and Sheridan used
to strip and crawl into it.
The general had two big. dogs
that followed him about, and in
the morning early when the reveille
was sounded the dogs would 90

Sheridan's tent, when they would

Initiative Tots at PLAY,

Wordsworth's lines of child at
play, "as if his whole vocation were
endless imitation" were recently re-
called by a conversation overheard
in the children's ward at a provin-
cial hospital
A little girl whose role was that
of nurse rang an imaginary tele-
phone on the wall to talk to her
companion at the farther end of the
room, who played the part of doc

the doctor?"

in deep voice. "This is the doc

"This lady is very ILL.," he was in
formed.
"Well, what seems to be the mat
ter?"
"She has swallowed whole bottle
of ink" said the nurse.
The doctor, not flurried, inquired
what had been done for the patient,
but the nurse, too, was ready in
emergencies.
She answered, 81 gave her two

Queer EatInq.

In 1882 it is recorded that man
named Claudius, a native of Lor-
raine, very short, thin individual,
used frequently to swallow with i'm
punity pieces of glass, stones, pieces
of wood, hay, straw, hares' feet,
pieces of linen, cloth and small liv-
ing animals, including on one occa-
ion couple of mice. Every one
.s familiar with the magic lantern
slide of man swallowing live mice,
but there are few that are aware
that such thing has actually been
done. Another man is mentioned
who, finding himself hungry, ate a
sack of charcoal, including the sack.

He Won the Bet

At an evening party given BY
King Edward VII. when he was
Prince of Wales was a young lord
1t was his first invitation. and his
royal highness showed him particu-
lar attention, which so impressed
the young nobleman that he came
to regard himself as a particular
favorite of the prince, He even
went so far as to declare that he
would get the prince to wait upon
him in person. He was laughed al
for his pains. Then II bet was pro-
posed and accepted. After dinner,
when all the gentlemen had retired
to the billiard room, the "favorite"
suddenly called out:
"Look here, Wales Be good
enough to ring for glass of
punch"
Everybody was thunderstruck,
but the prince, with genial smile,
walked up to the bellrope and rang.
When the footman came in, he
quietly said:
"Gct this gentleman his car
riage."

An Amendment.

"Some years ago." says a writer
in Anecdotes, "when the new lands
in Indian Territory were opened the
small towns which sprang up were
filed with very mixed population,
and the theaters and travelling the
atrical companies were on a par
with the towns they visited.
zone night the writer was in
Oklahoma City and stepped into a
theater where 'Trilby' was being
played. The house was packed
from top to bottom with tough
characters, and the character of the
actors and their acting was, if any
thing, tougher, so that even the
audience became restless.
"The play finally reached the
point where Little Billee is sup
posed to clasp Trilby passionately
in his arms, instead of which he
held her at arms length, with as
much ardor as he would have shown
to bale of hay, and exclaimed,
oh, Trilby, nothing can come be-
tween usp whereat a six foot COW
puncher in the gallery leaned over
the railing and shouted in tones of
supreme disgust: Jaw, git outl Yer
could t'row COW between yerp"

FIosslns Was His Strong Point.

Some one suggested during the
reign Of DR.. Keate at Eton that
Christianity was not so much culti-
vated in his establishment as the
classics, and especially that the en-
deavor to be "pure in heart" was not
sufficiently attended to. The doc
tor accordingly addressed his boys
upon this point, "Be pure in heart,
or with sudden energy) I'll fog
youp AS he once fogged a whole
class of examines for confirmation,
thinking they had come up for pun
ishment, there is no doubt that he
meant to keep his word.

1t is said that within year the
Pennsylvania railroad will not
have a single iron bridge on its
main line from one end of the
State to the other. When the
road was first built nearly all the
rivers were spanned with wood
en- structures. When prosperity
came after War times the COM
pany built iron bridges. Now
these are wearing out and the
officials have decided that moth
ing but stone shall be used in the
future. The new stone bridges,
it has been estimated, will be in
service thousand years from
now if the Pennsy is still opera
ting at that distant date.

LOSSES IN COOKING MEATS.
Conclusions Drawn by Government
Experts From Experiments.

ENPtftS FTotn experiments.
Dietary investigations made by
government experts show that Of
the total food consumed by the
average man in this country 20 per
cent is flesh, if that term is taken to
include not only meat, but also
poultry, fish and shellfish.
incidentally a question studied
has had to do with the amount Of
nutritive material lost in the cook
ing of meat. That there is a loss,
of course, is obvious enough, espe-
eially where the material is boiled
and the water afterward thrown
away, but nothing has been known
on the subject until recently with
any degree of accuracy, and hence
the value of the government inves-
tigation, which ought to have no
little interest for the American
housewife.
Here are some of the conclusions
drawn by the experts from their ex~
periments:
The chief loss in weight during
the cooking of beef is due to the
driving off of water. Lean beef will!
lose in this way as much as 3S per
cent of its weight.
When beef is fried, there appears
to be no great loss of nutritive ma.
terial.
When beef is cooked in water,
from 3 to 20 per cent of the total
solids are found in the broth. If
the broth is used for soup or other
wise, it is no loss obviously.
Beef that has been used for a
preparation of beef tea or broth has
lost little of its nutritive value,
though much of the favoring has
been removed.
Fat meat contains less water pro-
portionately and so shrinks less in
cooking. Other things being equal,
small piece of meat cooked in wa
ter shrinks more relatively than a
large piece. = Saturday Evening

TRICKS OF BROWNING's DOG.
Ways In Which He Showed His Devo-
ton to His Master,

Robert Browning's mother had
an extraordinary power over ami
mails. W. j. Stillman says in his
Autobiography" that she could
even lure butterflies to her by some
unknown means, and that domestic
animals obeyed her as if by the aid
of reason.
Robert had received present Of
bulldog of a rare breed which
tolerated no interference from any
person except him or his mother,
and would never allow strangers to
be in the least familiar with her.
When q neighbor came in, he was
not allowed to shake hands with
her, for the dog at once showed his
teeth. Not even her husband was
allowed to approach her too closely,
and if Robert was more familiar
with her than the dog thought
proper the display of teeth was very
evident.
One day, to subject him to a Sc
we're test, Robert put his arm about
his mothers neck as they sat side by
side at the table. The dog went
round behind them, put his fore
feet on chair and lifted Roberts
arm away with his nose.
There was a favorite cat in the
family and her the dog hated. One
day he chased her under a cup
board and kept her there, besieged
until Mrs. Browning gave him
severe lecture, and charged him
never to molest pussy more. The
creature obeyed her implicitly.
From that time forth he was never
known to touch the cat, although
she, remembering past tyranny,
bore herself most insolently toward
him. Yet when she scratched him
he only whimpered and turned away
as if to avoid temptation.

Mot In the secondhand business,

AS Richard Brinsley Sheridan,
the great wit, was entering court
one day carrying his books and
briefs in a green bag, according to
the custom of the time, SOME of his
brother barristers, thinking to play
joke on him, urged some boys to
ask him if he had old clothes for
sale in his green bag. "Oh, mop
instantly replied Sheridan. "They
are all new suits"

Sketch of His Life.

Thomas Dewitt Talmage was born IN
the State of-New jersey in 1882. He grad
uated at New York University and later
studied theology at New Brunswick. He
was called to the Reformed Presbyterian
Church at Syracuse, n. Y, in 1859 From
1862 to 1869 lie was located In Philadelphia.
In the latter year he began his connec-
ton with the Brooklyn Central Presbyte-
rian Church. Here he made such q. repu-
tatlon as preacher and orator that peo-
pie fiocked to hear him. An immense
Tabernacle" was DGiIt in 1870, but was
destroyed by fire two. years later In 1874
a new building Of brick and stone was
dedicated. 1t was of. Gothic architecture
and mad a seating capacity of 1900 This
was DESTROYED also by fire in 1889, but
rebuilt. "A great debt had been involved
however, and 1t was owing to some mis-
understanding about this that charges OF

his sermons that they were syndicated
and published all over the United States.
The country papers especially ran sthese
sermons. and in this way DR.. Talmase
became tho best known minister ir, : the
country. There is hardly a Christia n
home in the whole land where he was
unknown. and his dea tn will cause genuine
regret to thousands. .l7as5 3
He was no Il less celebrated as a, lee
turer. and when he made tour OF the
country. thousands docked to hear him.
His lecture on THE Bright Side of
Things is one of the best known ana
most widely admired. This lecture he
has delivered in this city and at other
places in the State. Only a few weeks
ago the celebrated, divine preached two
sermons in this city, one to an immense
gathering OF men at the Academy OF

byterian Church.
