Why He EIesitnteJ.

The Brooklyn Citizen prints an expe-
rience of man who travelled all over
Europe and declares that he did moi
meet but one person who hesitaled
over the acceptance OF II fee:
was wandering through an old
graveyard in an English town and had
stopped before Il stone which had not
been long In place. A man who must
have been following me stepped up and
said:
"Ah, sir, but she who lies here will
be missed for years to come! She was
for half lifetime the president of the
charity board"
In an absentmlnded way 1 handed
him n sixpence, said the traveller. He
received it, turned 1t over in his hand
in hesitating way and finally stam-
mered:
''As she was my own Wife, sir. and
as / was here to plant flowers Oh her
grave. perhaps 1t would not be exactly
proper to accept fee"
replied that but fer him | might
never have known about her being
president of the board. and he swal-
lowed his scruples and pocketed the
sixpence with one motion and with evil
dent satisfaction

FISH AS FOOD.
The best Kinds to Eat and the Way
to Cook Them.

The Best Kinds to Eat and the Way
to Cook Them.
Fish constitutes one of the most val
liable articles Of diet for mankind, al
though the popular notion that 1t is
good brain food because of the phos-
phorus It contains Is incorrect. AS a
matter of fact fish meat in general con-
tains less phosphorus than most kinds
of flesh meat But 1t Is good for the
brain indirectly, for it IS less stimulat-
ing than flesh meat is usually digested
more easily and causes the production
In the system of fewer of the waste
products which, If not at once elimi-
mated, act injuriously upon the deli
cate nervous system.
The last mentioned property is one
which renders fish of especial value In
the diet of persons suffering from
Brights disease and other affections OF
the kidneys, from rheumatism, govt,
and all those diseases which many ply
siclnrs regard as the result of excessive
formation or retention OF uric acid. For
convalescents also it Is most useful, as
1t supplies fair amount of nutrtive
material in palatablc form, with min
imum of tax on the digestive organs
Among the most nourishlng and at
the same time dlgestible fish are blue
fish, shad red snapper, fresh Goldfish.
whitefish, striped bass halibut and
founders And equally nutritious, al
though perhaps less digestible, are
brook trout, lake trout, salmon, mack
crcl and cells Roe is not particularly
nutritious but II is agreeable to the
taste and fairly digestible.
The mode of preparation has much to
do with the dIgestibilty OF fish, as II
has with that of all other foods. Boil
ing and broiling are better modes OF
cooking than frying.
The chief objection TO fish Is its
proneness TO decomposition, even when
kept on lee II may be free from any
taste or odor. and yet 1t may have I'M
dergone changes which make II poison
Gus. Some fish nrc poisonous In them
selves, containing in the natural state
some substance which will cause alarm
Ing symptoms, or even death, II eaten.
With some persons fish in nny form
does not agree, causing digestive dlsor-
ders or skin eruptonS. This Is notably
true of Holsters and crabs.-fouths

A NOVEL HOTEL BILL.
The Man to Whom It Was Presente
Could Not understand IL.

The Man TO whom II Was Presented
ConId Not Understand 1t.
Talking about bookkeeping, there
uaed to be man in Yankton whose
system OF bookkeeping accounts was
wonderfully efficient. He kept hotel.
and he could neither read nor write.
He did not know how to spell his own
name, but he did thriving business
and collected every dollar Of his ac-
counts, Once. years ago, when first
came to this country, went to his no.
tel and stopped there two weeks"
writes Milt Brinben.
"When left. he presented ME with a
statement of what I owed him, and 1t
was a curiosity. He had copied 1t from
his ledger At the top of the sheet
there was rude picture of soldier
on the march and after 1t three straight
marks. Then there was scene show
ing man at table eating. Then ap-
peared n bed with n man in Ii. In the
amount column there was picture of
doll and after ii the two letters RS"
After the picture of 4 man eating there
were fortytwo marks; after the view
of the man in the bed. fourteen marks.
l looked at the account, then at the
proprietor and told him it would take
me week to answer that conundrum.
Il was completely stumped, and when
that hotel man deciphered the amount
for me II was this; The picture of the
soldier walking meant march. and the
three marks supplied the date. March
3, when l began boarding. The man
at the table with forty-two marks after
1t indicated that had eaten forty-two
meals. The man in bed with fourteen
marks showed that l had slept In the
house fourteen nights. The doll with
the RS after 1t meant dollars, and
In the figure columns appeared the fig.
ures IA, which was the amount owed
him. And II was true bill."-Yank-

Office and Man.

Once upon time postmaster who
lived in a Kansas town was seated in
his office reading postal cards when a
native cyclone suddenly came his way.
The wind carried him through an east
window and in the direction of chest
nut grove three miles distant.
In few seconds he was safely seat
ed in the top of high tree busy pick
Ing chestnut burs out of his hair and
clothing when he saw the building
that he had so suddenly left coming
directly toward him.

BEN FRANKLIN's PURCHASE
An Old Electrical Machine Dating
Back to the Revolution

Back to the Revelation.
Nearly every schoolboy of a genera
ton ago was familiar with the friction
al electricity machine, never Of very
much practical value, but of great in
terest TO youthful minds on account Of
the spark that could be made to pass
from condenser to youthful finger.
Nowadays the size Of the spark has in
creased as the size of the machine has
diminished, but an example of the ear
ller type is still preserved at the Jeffer-
son physical laboratory at Harvard,
where an interesting collection of an
tlquated pieces of apparatus gives the
visitor to Cambridge an opportunity to
compare the earliest with the latest
methods OF studying physics and as
tronomy.
This special piece, moreover, is par
ticularly interesting in that it was orig
inally purchased for the college by
Benjamin Franklin when acting as
American commissioner to France dur
ing the Revolutionary war. 1t is cum
bersome affair that would require a
horse and small wagon or whole
automobile to move, but the principle
on which 1t Is based IS the same as In
It's modern successors. Aside from size
the most noticeable difference is In the
use Of glass globe about foot in d.
amcter TO produce the electricity by
friction instead Of the big circular glass
plate seen In later machines.
Despite its size and the big globe,
however-whlch Is supported on posts
resembling those Of a colonial four
poster bed-the old machine never ex-
ceeded spark two inches long and
was even proud of that modest per-
Torrance. How modest 1t really was
may be seen by comparison with n
modern machine in the next case, so
much smaller than Franklin's that 1t
can be held in one hand, that produces
spark of electricity of nearly seven
inches.

Like so many of his learned brethren

Canon Garter was the terrier OF COM
positors. His was perhaps, after Dean
Stanley's, the very worst handwriting
of the last century.
About 1850 the then bishep CT Llch-

his secretaries by saying: Il have

letter, but got one this morning. 1t is

lean boundary Line.
"Some peculiar conditions prevail at
the twin cities of Nogales, Mexico,
and Nogales, Arlz.," said the Detroiter,
who recently returned from Il visit to
Mexico. 1.-THE international boundary
line Is formed by street that divides
the two towns, and the boundary
stakes are set out with Il very nice
regard for technlcalltles. There is a
saloon there which has more than a
local reputation, and the proprietor is
certainly an enterprlsing individual.
His saloon Is located on the street d.
viding the two counties and at IA point
where the dividing line Is not clearly
defined. The patron of this saloon
buys his drink in America, and, step
ping across the hall, lie buys his cigar
In Mexico. In this way the proprietor
avoids the duty on Imported cigars
and can provide his customers with
the best make at lower prices than
most of his competitors.
'They tell an amusing story about an
American who imbibed too much fight
