Pats .TrouhIe.

Pat had come over to America with
the expectation of finding money lying
around loose, only waiting for some
one to pick it up. OF course this was
long ago Pat had soon become disil-
lusionized and was always glad to get
hold of odd jobs which would net him
a little something to help him keep
body and soul together. Finally, be-
coming tired of the struggle, he de-
cided to end 1t all and was very indus
triously tying rope around his waist
when his landlord happened in on him.
After watching him curiously. for
few minutes he asked:
whats up, Pat? What are you try
ing to do?"
''Troyin' to choke meself, aY coorse,"
was Pats answer.
Choke yourself? You can't do it
that way. You'll have to put the rope
around your neck"

CATCHING A THIEF.
An Old Method Utinxed by n German
Omcer In China.

An Old Method Utilized by a German
Omcer In China.
Thirty dollars was stolen at the Of
ficers' club in Tientsin, China, and the
xasmbers of the club resolved, if possi-
BILE, to catch the thief.
A German captain volunteered to
manage the affair, and the first thing
he did was to summon all the native
servants of the club. He then said to
them:
"Some money has been stolen here
and L am looking for the thief 1 shall
4nd him in an hour, not before, since
need that much time in order to get
instructions from a celebrated magi-
clan in Germany"
An hour later all the servants were
again summoned, but this time into a
dark room, in the middle of which
stood the table on which the money
stolen had been laid.
Each of you, now," said the officer,
must go up to that table and press on
It first your right and then your left
hand and when that is done you must
raise your two hands over your head
and step into the next room"
The servants did so, and as the last
one stepped into the adjoining room
the officer followed him, and after
looking for few moments at the many
uplifted hands he pointed to one man
and said, You are the thief" The
Chinaman to whom he pointed nearly
fell to the ground with fright and ad-
mitted his guilt and promised to make
restitution.
Very simple was the method adopted
by the officer for discovering the cul-
prit. While the native servants sup
posed that his spirit was in Germany
in communion with the celebrated ma
gician he was carefully smearing the
surface of the table in the dark room
with fat and oil, which he then black
ened by means of SCOT. The innocent
servants naturally pressed their hands
on the table, according to his instruc-
tions. but the culprit, though super.
stitio,.s, did not do so.
AS result, while the uplifted hands
of all the others were coal black, his
were of natural color, and thus his
guilt was clearly proyed.-Detroit Free

Onion sauce.

As change from the tomato sauce
usually served with Dreaded lamb
chops try an onion sauce made in this
way: Slice two or, If very small, three
onions and cook them in water for
few moments and drain. Put them in
to just enough boiling water to cover,
add little salt and cook until tender.
Cook together two tablespoonfuls each
of flour and butter and when perfectly
smooth add one-half pint of stock,
three OF four tablespoonfuls of cream
and a saltspoonful each of salt and
sugar and dash of cayenne. When
the onion is tender, press 1t through
colander and add the water in which
ithad been cooked.-New York Post.

POULTRY POINTERS,

Pure water is more essential thar
clean grass,
Even though turkeys are good for
ayers it will not pay to let them &c
without proper feeding.
Everything in the rearing of young
poultry depends upon their care and
management at least until well feath-
cred.
Fowls inclined to fatten too easily
are not good layers. The flesh they
carry makes them lazy, and this never
promotes laying.
Middlings make good food for poul-
try, but If wet up alone it is too sticky
The better plan is to mix with bran
or corn and wet with milk or scalding
water.
Whitewash is better than paint on
the poultry houses, for the reason that
it costs less and has a purifying infiu-
ence. 1t may be applied as often as
once month to advantage.
The properties of sunf1ower seed are
peculiar, and small quantity fed at
the proper time will essentially aid in
imparting to the plumage of adult
fowls gloss that no other grain will
produce.

SIGHTS OF OLD PANAMA.
city Once as Beautiful as Any De-
pfcted In Storied Romance.


Following the English style, dinner
Is full dress and eeremonious affair.
After dinner comes the promenade
along the esplanade, charming walk
around the old battery overlooking the
prison, says the Catholic World. Our
way borders the sea; behind us lies
the city, with its Moorish towers, its
red tiled roofs; back of it rises Mount
Ancon; to our left is the little Indian
hamlet of La Boca, at the mouth of
the Rio Grande, and the green hills of
the Andes in the distance; along the
horizon oceanward stretches the bay.
What words can describe it? A study
in color as the rays of the setting sun
turn to crimson, green and gold its
islands; the stately palmetto trees that
fringe its banks, the white beach and
far away the ancient towers of San
Anastasius, sole landmark of the once
beautiful city of old Panama.
The story of this beautiful city, old
Panama, reads like one of the TO-
mances from the arabian Nights that
so delighted our childhood. Its houses
of aromatic wood, hung with costly
tapestries, adorned with paintings and
sculptures that a king might envy;
its 800 magnificent churches, with their
services of silver and gold, their fres-
Goes of pearls and precious stones; it's
pleasure gardens; its broad driveways,
chief of which was the kings high
way, over which the royal horses bore
the treasures to Puerto Bello and the
ships ready to sail with them to Spain.
Into the. midst of this Asiatic splendor
came Morgan and his buccaneers, and
this struggle, one of the most memora-
BILE on our continent, the first of white
against white led to the destruction of
the flower of Spanish chivalry and the
capture of Panama. So pass the glo-
ries of the world!

nothing Wasted.

A Scottish farmer when going to
market, it was observed, always took
a hen with him in his trap. The reason
was never known until one day he took
friend with him on drive. Every
place the farmer stopped he put the
nosebag on his horse, and then the hen
was so trained that what dropped from
the horses bag the hen would pick up,
10 there was nothing wasted.-Pear-
sons Weekly.

SWIMMERS CRAMP.

1t Is Not So Very Dangerous If the
Victim Will Keep Cool.
If swimmers could be trained to keep
cool under all circumstances, there
would be comparatively little drown
ing among bathers and summer pleas
ure seekers. Cramp is usually assigned
as the cause when some good swimmer
browns. But cramp ought in reality to
be nothing serious. Usually is affects
only an arm or leg or maybe only a
hand or foot ANY moderately good
swimmer can keep af1oat with one arm
or even without the use of that, yet
good swimmers drown often as a result
of cramp. If such fatalities were ana
lyzed, they would be more properly
classed as drowning from fright and
loss of nerve. This comes from the fact
that every one is taught in childhood
to fear the water and comes as a
grown man and a swimmer to fear
cramp. The average opinion is that
the man who is attacked when swim
ming in deep water is as good as
drowned. Therefore, when swimmer
feels leg or arm begin to cramp he is
frightened in most cases entirely out
Of his wits. He loses his head, begins
to splash and paw and struggle and
then goes down.
What the swimmer should remember
is that he can keep afloat with very,
very little effort if he will turn on his
back and keep bis chest inflated. It is
the simple matter of floating, which
every swimmer knows and finds very
easy. If the swimmer will keep cool
and float, the cramping limb will fire.
quently relax after little and he will
find himself as well as ever Outing.

The Word FIattery.

At first sight there would appear to-
be little connection between f1attery:
and the wagging of dogs tail, vet;
in nearly all the northern language the
same word signifies both, and fiatteryi
is certainly derived from the word sig-
nifying to wag the tail. In the old
Norman fagra signifies to f1atter and
also to wag the tail. In Danish logre
ls TO wag the tail, and logger for cen is
to fawn on one. In Dutch yleyden is
to flatter and vleydsteerten is to Wag
the tail. In the old German wedein
is to wag the tail, and in English
wheedle is to gain ones end in fiat
tery,

DUMAS AS A COOK.
He Was Particularly Good In ths
Preparation of Turkeys.

He Was Particularly Good In TIA
Preparation of Turkeys.
Dumas pere was in producing the
slave of his pen and never studied In
MS life. No author ever owed less to
education or book learning and more
to perpetually fresh and unsophisti-
Gated mind and to sociable Intercourse
with the bright spirits of his day, the
upper Bohemia, the best artists, dra-
matte authors and lions of various
kinds of his time. His one accom-
plishment was his neat, flowing, clerkly
handwriting, but he knew nothing Of
science, of any kind of serious htera-
ture, and as he had never thought of
punctuation before he burst ON the
world as an author left it always to
the proofreader. Like Rossini. if
Dumas had not been the author of
"Monte-Christo" and other novels that
brought him each a fortune (which he
spent as soon as he made, he might
have been a great cook.
l partook of a lunch he cooked two
years before his death at the house of
Gudin, the painter. He came to cook
1t In this~way: Gudin, meeting him
on Friday on the boulevard, said:
a friend has just sent me three splen-
did turkeys from Devonshire. What
shall l do with them?" teYou should
let me cook them," said Dumas. "An
right" But must go tomorrow to
prepare them for the spit" Dumas
arrived next morning with a hamper
ful OF truff1es for the turkeys and, not
TO allow any to go to waste, brought
calves sweetbreads and other delica-
eles which are the better, for truf1e &c
compartments. He prepared his '-plats''
carefully and suggested that if Gudin
wished to invite friends to particu-
larly well cooked lunch then was his
time. Perhaps" he added, 'you had
better call on Alboni and ask her to
come. She will crown the feast by
singing brindisi." So said, SO done.
Dumas acted as chef in the kitchen
until it was almost time to serve the
lunch,
A most brilliant company had been
invited to judge of "le grand Alex
andres" culinary talents. They de-
clared he deserved the name Of ''AIex-
andre lie Grand" and expressed their
sorrow that his literary genius had de-
priVed the world of the greatest chef
of the nineteenth century. Dumas
used also to cook the grand dinners
which. Nine. Rattazzi gave at Florence
when her husband was prime minister
Of Italy.-London News.

KILLED THE SPIDER.
Dendly influence of n Small Magnet
On the Insect,

Deadly influence of n Small Magnet
On the insect
An experiment made by a scientist
to test the influence which magnet
will have on SPIDER is of interest.
The magnet employed was a small
steel one of the U shape, the legs of
which were about two and a half
inches long by one half inch wide and
one-SiXth of an inch thick, the distance
between the poles being about one
quarter of an inch.
Having noticed a small spider active
ly running along his armchair, he
brushed it off upon the carpet, where
it began to run, but was somewhat i'm
peded by the roughness of the fabric.
He now slid the magnet along the car
pet, following after the spider, till the
ends of the poles were Yithip a quar-
ter of an inch of it. The animal, with
out being touched, almost instantly
stopped, and on withdrawing the mag
net the spider continued on his jour-
ney.
The eXperimenter then placed the
magnet within half an inch in front of
the spider and, Withdrawing it slow
ly. the latter followed it in every direc-
ton which the magnet took, both in
straight and circuitous routes.
Gradually, however, the spider be-
came so strongly magnetized as to be
immoyable for several minutes, the
magnetic influence seeming to lose its
further power. On withdrawing the
magnet altogether the spider began to.
recover somewhat.
The scientist ultimately placed al
tumbler over the spider and the mag
net, covering them both completely
and at the expiration of several min
utes the spider, after a struggle to es-i
cape from the strong influence which
the magnet exercised over it, was.

Gainsborough and His Carrier.
One of the earliest members of the

custom to have his pictures conveyed
to the metropolis by prosperous Lon
don carrier, Mr.. Wiltshire of Shock
erwick, near Bath. This man refused
to accept payment on the ground that
he loved pictures too we'll. He was
not, however, allowed to go unreward-
ed, for Gainsborough presented him
with six of his best works. and some
idea of their ultimate value may be
gained from the fact that when at
length they were sold the National gal
lery secured two. 1.-THE Parish Clerk of
