Hunger and Ideas

If you wish to increase your imagi-
native powers, says scientist, go with
out food. Abstinence from food till the
pangs of hunger make themselves dis
tinctly felt will quicken your mental
powers and stimulate the flow Of ideas,
such ideas being of kind that agree
with the regular bent of your mind.
This seems to offer good prospects not
only to literary men, but also to ma
chine makers and all those who are on
the watch for some Improvement or in
vention that will reyolutionize some in
dustry. But you must be careful or
you will overdo it. Prolonged fasting,
according to the same authority, ere
ates desire to commit some horrible
crime, makes you wild and cruel. The
prolonged faster becomes prey to hal
fluctuations, is unable to sleep and likely
to go mad. In short. abstinence from
food for long periods-and '1ong peri
dds is term that varies with the in
Observation-Disclosures the same effects as

BUSINESS INSTINCT.
A Wall Street Mans Trade That Was
Not Bad Bargain.

Not "A Bad Bargain.
A prominent Wall street man told
the following story on himself the 9TH
er day, but made his hearers promise
that under no conditions would they
reveal his name. as he did not wish to
be bothered by the beggar who figures
in the story:
The Wall street man was walking
with a friend down Broadway when
at Twenty third street he was accosted
by a beggar The man was more per-
sistent than the ordinary mendicant,
and to get rid of him the broker said:
II will give you so cents if you will
give me your coat"
"All right, boss" replied the beggar,
and within a moment the change had
been made.
The broker and his friend then turned
back and went up Fifth avenue to their
hotel. Still carrying the beggar's coat,
the man Of finance strolled into the
lobby and began telling the story to
his friends.
81 think you made bad bargain, .
said one.
"Look in the pockets" said another.
And as the broker went through the
ragged garment he pulled forth a
cents in money, silver tipped pipe, a
flask Of whisky and pouch of to-
bacco.

The Army Canteen.

Almost anybody who knows any
thing about the necessities of the
army is aware that our soldiers are
very much worse off instead of Lav-
ing been bettered by the abolishing
of the canteen. As a proof Of this
fact it is only necessary to call at
tention to the efforts to supply a
substitute for the canteen by erecting
amusement halls which it is to be
hoped will meet the social needs of
the men very much as the canteen
did and yet be free from all its OBJ
jectionable features. The canteen
question has been settled for the
present. If it is found that the
new amusement halls effectually ac-
complish what he canteens did it will
be settled for good but there are
grave doubts in the minds of those
who know.

Death. Ancient ana Modern

The art of the ancients would GER
tainly seem to show that their coneep-
ton of death was a much more cheer
full one than that which has obtained
in later times. 1t was at one time
thought that the old Greeks and Egyp.
tians had no artistic symbol for death,
but this was a misconception. Death
was almost invariably represented by
them as the kinsman of sleep. The
Greeks personified it as Thanates, elder
brother of Sleep.
The Romans sometimes depicted
Death and Sleep as twin children re.
posing in the arms of Night. The skull
and crossbones and the skeleton as EN-.
blems of death do not appear to have
become common until comparatively
late Christian times. 1t has been sug-
gested that the terrible famines and
pestilences which scourged Europe
during the middle ages were RESPONSE
BILE for the fear or horror with which
the modern mind is usually accus-
toned to look upon death.

l was putting in a month in Swiss
town, and as l was strolling along the
highway in the suburbs one day vehi-
Gle containing a single traveller appear
ed. The driver pulled up that the travel
err might ask if he could find accommo-
dations at some chalet instead of at the
hotel, as he was not in good health and
wanted quietness. l was lodging at a
private house, and there was room for
another guest. The stranger was driven
on, and sat down on a rock to sum
him up. Having come from the west in
country vehicle. he must have come
from beyond the railroad station. The
horse looked weary, the hour was in
the afternoon, and | settled it that he
must have come from Thalla. 10 miles
away. The man wore hat which did
not fit him and had the collar of his
coat TUNED up. He had on goggles,
though it was dark day. A person
carry finger to one of the glasses ev-
cry two or three minutes, even If he
does not remove them occasionally On
this mans face was a newly grown
beard about an inch long. Every 80 sec
| onds up went his hand to scratch. He
was not used to beard, but had grown
one for an object. He thickened his
voice when he spoke to me, and it was
easy to detect the unnatural information.
Why did he do it? Travellers searching
for health are seldom to be met with in
the mountains except in early summer,
and this was late in the season. He
might explain, however. Mr.. Braceby,
as he had given his name probably had
more reasons for seclusion than he had
stated, and had curiosity to observe
him further.
He was taken in at the chalet, and
that night we ate supper together. l
saw from his table manners that he
had been used to the quick lunches of
a restaurant. He claimed to be an
Englishman. but his American idioms
would have given him away to child.

Precious Picture Frames.

Perhaps the most valuable frame
ever made for a picture is that which
mcloses "Tbe Virgin and Child" in the
cathedral of Milan. It's size Is Ssby
feet and is Of massive hammered
gold with an inner modlng Of lapis
lazuli. The corners pave hearts de-
signed in large pearls, and precious
stones are inlah around it. 1t Is said
to have been the gift Of a rich nun
merry, and it's estimated value Is f25,00O.
One Of the pictures in the Vatican at
Rome is Enclosed in frame studded
with jewels. so that the value Of the
frame nearly equals that Of the pic
ture. Many continental churches have
pictures with similar frames Of great
value.

The lawyer had no objection to grant

a promissory note, making it payable

He Remem bered.

At a public dinner in New York one
night the statement was made that the
coored race had longer memories than
white folk. Mark Twain, who was
present, agreed with the remark and
to prove it told the following:
"Some years ago when south / met
an old colored man who claimed to
have known George Washington.
asked him if he was in the boat when
General Washington crossed the Della
ware, and he instantly replied, 'Lor',
massa, steered dat boat

and then, with beaming smile, said:
"'Why suah, massa, dun drove dat

the course of his argument the coun-

A New Guinean's idea of smoking.

The natives of New Guinea hold te-
naciously TO their customs, and though
they regard the white man as being
of wonderful powers and almost super
human in his ingenuity, they will very
seldom acknowledge that his practice
in any particular matter is right and
the native way wrong. Accordingly,
one of the Anglican mission staff was
surprised not long ago when hus-
band said; white women do not
smoke Literally eat tobacco; / wish

examplew But it rather spoiled the
sentiment when he added, "Then there
would be more tobacco for the men,
