Interesting For the H..hsnd.

A titled lady warned her new garden CT that her husband had an irritating habit of disparaging everything he saw in the greenhouse and of ordering in Q reckless manner new plants to be bought.
 But on no account humor him." she said. "Whntever he says, throw cold water on him. or he will ruin us with his extravagance."
 At this point the new gardener turn. ed on her white and startled face.
 "Ma'am," he said, If he orders me to pitch every plant in the place on the rubbish heap, sha'n't ever have the pluck to douse him in cold water. Won't it do as well if get drain of warm water out of the boiler and let it trickle gently down his neck "-Lon. don Tit-Bits.

They Don Like Rain.

"Theres a queer thing about Italian laborers," said contractor who em- ploys q great many of them, "and that is that they absolutely refuse to work in the rain. Stop minute and think. Did you ever see gang of them work ing in the streets. digging trenches or doing any other manual labor in the rain? Well. you never did and proba- bly never will. Just as soon as show CT sets in. no matter how slight, they will scramble for cover. If the rain continues. they will soon complain of feeling sick and knock off for the day; One fellow will have sore throat aD- other will be doubled up with pains in his stomach and others will suddenly acquire severe ailments of all sorts. It is useless to attempt to do anything with them. and pretty soon they will all go trooping home" - Philadelphia Record

Like Any Other Man.

The following story is told in refer. ence to Mir. Lowell's second marriage: At tho time when rumors of the event became current among his friends one of them. stanch admirer of the first Mrs. Lowell and firm believer in her husbands permanent widowerhood. took 1t upon herself to deny the gossip every time it met her. Finally, how ever. the announcement came to her from such extremely good authority that her faith was shaken.
 She wrote frankly to Mir. Lowell that she had heard the reports and persist ently denied them, but now began to doubt her right to do so. She begged him to let her know the true state of affairs. whether she was to believe him ver-to-be-consoled husband or, after all. just like any other man."
 The answer WIS prompt and brief:
 "Dear Madam--Yours. like any other man."

VIRTUES OF LIGHT LUNCHES
American Acuteness Due Tn Part to
 the Midday Repaats.

A great many people feel they have done their whole duty by sound hy- giene when they denounce the quick lunch" of the American business world as the sum of all gastronomic iniqui- ties. But in so far as the quick lunch is a light lunch, and it usually is this, 1t may be blessing in disguise. In fact an observing foreigner lays much of the acuteness and business energy of Americans to the fact that for the most part the American business and professional man eats lightly, even if hurriedly, and drinks but little at the midday meal; hence his mind is clear, he is not sluggish and he is able to do good deal between 1 o'clock and 6.
 As contrast the foreign observer mentions the heavy midday eating habits of certain. European countries, notably Germany, and to that he at- tributes the lethargy that is calling for all the highest efforts of the best minds to counteract. Tn this he is in har- mony with an American specialist, who in decrying heavy midday meal said that "the plan of eating heavy meal at noon and returning to work almost directly from the dinner table explains the prevalence of dyspepsia in countries not enjoying the long aft ernoon recess of the tropics" Since the light lunch and the quick lunch do not fit in with this criticism those who have blamed our national dyspepsia on the "busy mans bite" had better look little further into the matter.
 Perhaps we do eat too much, as cer- tain diatetic specialists tell us, but 1t looks as if we were slowly approXimat- ing, the country over, to an ideal dietet- ic system, for Americans, which makes the lunch the slightest meal and the evening meal the most substantial meal of the day, whatever it may be called. And if the quick lunch of the business world has had any effect in this direction it is not the unmixed evil some declare it to be-. ..H..t

PresenIing Arms to q Cat.

Some fifty years ago very high Eng. fish official died in a fortress at place thaa is one of the centers of Brahmanic orthodoxy, and at the moment when the news of his death reached the sepoy guard at the main gate black cat rushed out of it. The guard pre- sented arms to the cat as salute to the flying spirit of the powerful Eng lishman, and the coincidence took Sc firm hold of the locality that up to a few years ago neither exhortation or orders could prevent Hindoo sentry at that gate from presenting arms to any cat that passed out at night V

The French Horn.

The French horn or cor de ch2sse>i. regarded by some musicians as tEc sweetest and mellowest of all the w.nA instruments. In Beethovens time il was little else than the old hunting horn, which, for the convenience of the mounted hunter, was arranged in spiral convolutions, to be slipped over the head and carried resting op one shoul, der and under the opposite arm. Tbe Germans still call 1t the waldhorn. that is, forest horn."

Rheumatism

Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest and distress from tortured muscles, aching joints and excited nerves. The blood has been poisoned by the accumulation of waste matter in the system, and can nc longer supply the pure and health sustain. ing food they require. The whole system feels the effect of this acid poison; and not until the blood has been purified and brought back to a healthy condition wii the aches and pains cease.
 Mrs. James Kei, of 7o7 Ninth street, IT, E.o Washington, D. C., writes as follows: IA few, months ago'I had an attack of Sciatic Rheuma,

Living InGclIhlc Ink.

If the shell of the Purpura lapillus be broken there is seen on the back of the animal. just under the skin, slender, whitish vein which contains yellow liquor. When this liquor is applied to linen with small brush and exposed to the sun it becomes successively green. blue and purple. and finally set ties into brilliant unchangeable crim- son. Housewives of New England have growing abundantly on the sea- side rocks in their neighborhoods little living bottles of indelible ink, not to be excelled in beauty or durability by any manufactured product, since neither acid nor alcohol will affect this juice of the whelk.

Weaver and Mrs Charles Brown
ing at Bcrea. The latter gave six
prizes. Those receiving them
were Misses Tcna Browning, Eva

One of the queries at the debate
was, could Mr.. F. Wilson give the
definition for II l7-ycar-old boy
Ans, a boy at that age thinks he
knows it all. He can teach his
parents. His parents know moth
ing, no one else knows anything,
but the young II. Yet, only Il
few years hence he will look back
and see, see what! That he only
knew how to smoke n pipe or ci-
gar.

that country in time past, also
with the writer according to our
guessing, and sometimes guess
work hits all right, We felt SAT,
in speaking cncOuragingly to our
ncighbors. Yes, we always enjoy
the Mt. Carmel letter, altho there

but few Of the old names appear
in your letters. They certainly
have all got married, died or NOV
