ENGLiSAMAN AND TURK.

How the Former Obtained Some Cash
Owed by the Latter.
An Englishman has just had a very
curious experience, says the London
Telegraph. He had lent a Turk some
money, hut the man was unable to
pay and on his deathbed laid a par
ticular charge on his wife and chill
dren to meet the debt. The eldest son
was making arrangements according
~, but also died, and he, too, begged
his family to pay the money as soon
as they could.
One day the Englishman received O.
visit from q member of the family,
no said that there were now o u
members Of 1t left, and they were
ready to pay, but n Of the daughters
refused to subscribe her share, declar-
ing that the money was really
lent. The others, however, wished to
settle the matter. and II the English
man would come to the house 1t would
be arranged. But the Turk added,
III you see there is any difficulty just
sag that you leave 1t to be settled in
~
the next worldv'
Accordingly the E~nglishman went to
the house at the appointed time and
met the family in the presence Of a
mollah, the ladies being behind a
screen. The mollah began by asking
ii he had truly lent the money, how
much it was and IL he would take any
less. One Of the women behind kept
saying it was all q fraud. The English
man then declared that he had lent the
money, that he had not asked for 1t,
that they had told him to come and
get it and IL they did not want to pay
1t he would leave the matter to be set
tied In the next world.
There was dead silence for a few mo-
ments, and then the women called
their brother, and each paid her share
without a word. It seems the prospect
Of meeting the father In the other
world without having carried out his
wishes was too serious a thing to face.

II the Editor Told the Truth.

Not long since a Missouri editor
announced that just for one issue he
would tell the truth, naked and un-
vanished: Here are a few items from
the issue:
John BONN, the LATEST merchant in
town made a trip to Belview yester-
day.
Married-Miss Sylvia Rhodes to
JAS. Corcoran, last Saturday evening
at the Baptist parsonage. The bride
dosen't know any more than a rabbit
about cooking, and never helped her
poor old mother three days in her life.
She is not a beauty by any means and
she has a gait like a fat duck. The
groom is we'll known here as an up.to-
date ~loafer, and has been living off
the old folks all his life and don't
amount to shucks anyhow. They will
have a hard life while they live to-
gether and we hasten to extend alb
solutely no congratulations, for we
don't believe any good can come of
such a union.
John Doyle, our groceryman is do
ing a poor business. His store is dirty,
dusty and noxiously oderous. He
doesn't advertisenor treat people cour-
teously. How can he expect to do
much?
Rev. Styx preached Sunday night
on charity. The sermon vas punk. If
the reverend gentleman would live up
a little closer to what he breaches he'd
have bigger congregations. The edi-
tor attends just because it is the
proper thing. He would rather stay
home and read a good book.
Dave Sankey died last Saturday at
his home in this place. The doctor
gave it out that it was heart failure.
The fact is that he was drunk and
whiskey is what killed him: and his
home was a rented shack on Bowery
street.-Ex.

"A curious plant" said an eminent
botanist to the writer day or two ago,
''ir the wild tamarind or junbai plant
Of the riverside and waste places Of
tropical America, aud very strange are
its effects upon the non-ruininant ami
inals that feed upon It's young shoots,
leaves, pods and seeds. Itcauses horses
to lose the hair from their names and
tails, has a similar effect upon mules
and donkeys, and reduces pigs to com
pIete naltedness. Horses are said to
recover when fed exclusively on corn
and grass, but the new hair is Of differ
ent color and texture from the old, SO
that the animal is never quite the same
as Il was. One animal, of which per-
sonally knew, after feeding on the
plant lost its hoofs and had to be kept
In slings until they grew and hardened
again. Ruminant animals are not thus
affected, and the growth of the plant
ia actually encouraged in the Bahamas
as a fodder plant for cattle, sheep and
goats. The difference In its action upon
rurninants and non-ruminants is prob
ably due to changes effected upon it

Among the other botanical curiositlea
of Colombia Is a singular tree known as
'1eche mief' by the people and as
'lacmelles edulis' by the scientists.
Its sap, when analysed. contains almost
the same properties as cows milk and
In almost the same proportions. Dur
ing the spring Of the year the sap Of the
milk tree Is gathered by the natives as
the people Of New England gather the
sop Of the maple, and they not only
drink Il, but manufacture a creamy sub
stance that resembles butter in its
taste and properties. The fermented
milk makes drink that is very much
like kouniss, which they preserve in
rourds. Another curiosity is q plant of
tho laurel family, botanically known as
"nuirica arguta," which yields a species
Of vegetable wax, and might be made a
profitable article Of commerce lift were
cultivated. The wax is of greenish
color and disagreeable odor, but when
boiled and purified loses those objec-
tionable qualities and becomes white.
The natives use large quantities Of It to
make candles, and when refined It gives
q clear, soft light. The wax is obtained
by boiling tho crushed fruit of the
laurel in water. When the water cools
the wax congeals on the top. A we'll
grown plant will furnish from Is to 20
pounds 3 year. The wax IS also used
in making soap.-W. Z. Curtis, in Chica-

A CHAPTER ON COLDS.


Volumes have been written on the
wretched condition which, taking one
Of It's causes for the disease itseif,
we call a 'cold;" but very little prog
ress has been made in the way Of itA
prevention or cure. In avoiding It
we are warned to hewnre Of drafts,
wet feet sudden changes of tempera-
ture. and so forth, and the advice is
excellent. The only objection TO it
is that it is impossible always to fol-
low il. But exposure Of this kind
is not the sole cause, for if it we're,
wetting or chill would always
be followed by cold. and that, we
all know to our JOY, is not the case
says Youths Companion.
A cold in the head is an inhamma-
tion Of the mucous membrane Of the
nose produced by certain bacteria
What these bacteria are, and whcth-
er It is always the same kind
that produces a cold, are ques-
tions that have not been settled
Some. at least, of them are proba-
bly, always present in the air Of our
houses or the dust Of our streets,
in our pockets, where, whenever suf-
fering from an acute cold in the
head, we carelessly put soiled hand-
kerchiefs containing vast numbers OF
the germs, and on clothes, books,
other things with which we come in
contact daily. So it cannot be the
germs alone that cause a cold, other
wise we should never be free from
one.
The germ of any disease is the
same as a seed; it win grow and
multiply If planted in suitable soil,
but not otherwise So the germ or
germs of cold will not grow in
healthy nose; the mucous membrane
Of the nose must be prepared by
some local or general cause which
weakens its power Of resistance
This may be a local disturbance OF
the blood supply, caused by chilling
of the surface Of the body, or irri-
tation by the inhalation Of dust or OF
strong fumes, as of burning sui
phur; or it may be some defect in
the construction of the nasal cayi-
ties, causing chronic discharge
which keeps the mucous membrane
constantly irritated; or 1t may be
some influence which depresses the
general system and makes it vulner-
able to the attacks of the microbes.
Such influences may be fatigue,
mental anxiety, loss Of sleep and the
like, but perhaps more often self
poisoning by the waste products
found in the intestines and absorbed

SOME BOOMERANG HABITS.
Discomfort That shapes the Mind fos
Unhappiness and Units One
for Enjoyment.

The habit Of restless discomfort
and unhappiness is the wort boom
erang of all. There is . stontent
which is wholesome and creative Of
better things. But the discomfort
refer to is that which causes u man
or woman to be forever despising to-
day, regretting yesterday, and long
ing for an imaginary Tomorrow,
when dreams win come true. For
such persons there is no tomorrow,
says Ella Wheeler Wilcox, in Success.
There are men who. as boys. hated
school life. and longed to get into
business; yet. once in business. they
complain ot its hardships. and sigh
for the lost days OF boyhood, but
work on. doggedly, in the hope Of
being able to retire in time. and en-.
JOY life in travel and social relaVa-
tion and domestic contentment. They
do not realize the truth that hap
piness must be practical all along
the Journey Of life, or it can never
be put into exercise later.
Unless we find something every day
to be happy over. we shall never be
able to fully enjoy any blessing
which may come TO us. Continual
discomfort shapes the mind for nm
happiness, and no amount of good
luck can twist it back into harmoui-
Gus proportions.
The man who has never learned
the lesson Of contentment and happi-
ness in some degree in his hard days
will never find it in his easy ones.
When he undertakes to cnoy travel,
society or home, he win find the old
demon of unrest is with him-his
relentless boomerang.
This special order Of boomerang
more frequently strikes women than
men. Women are more restless and
discontented than men. as rule.
A mans discomfort is more frequent
" constructive, a woman's destruc.
tive. 1 have known many women
who made a constant outcry against
the cares Of housekeeping, and who.
as soon as they abandoned these
cares. mourned for the lost comforts
Of the home; women who craved
travel. and hated its discomforts the
moment they set forth; women who
craved the mountains when at the
seashore. and the seashore when on
the mountains What pitiful targets
for their own boonernngs they VIII
be in their old age! for what IS more
dreadful than old age which has not
learned repose or calm. or the CON
tentment Of patience?
