Caught n Tartar.

Like so many of his learned brethren
In the Church of England. the late
Canon Carter was the terror of COM
positOrs. His was perhaps, after Dean
Stanley's. the very worst handwriting
of the last century.
About 1850 the then bishop of Lich-
field, DIR. Maclagan, surprised one OF
his secretaries 10y saying: Il have
hardly ever received an anonymous
letter, but got one this morning. 1t is
very badly written. and l can hardly
make it out. but from the signature it
is sure to be abusive. The man has
signed himself n Tartar See if you
can make il OUT
The secretary, who knew the hand
writing. rather startled his lOrdship by
rejoininS: It's nothing alarming. It's
only n note from Canon Carter of
CIewerr'-London Tlt-Bits.

Why He Hesitnted.

The Brooklyn Citizen prints an eSpe-
rience of a man who Travelled all over
Europe and declares that he did not
meet but one person who hesitated
over the acceptance of a fee:
1 was wandering through an old
graveyard in an English town and had
stopped before n 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 absentminded way L handed
him sixpence, said the traveller. He
received it, turned it over in his hand
in hesitating way and finally stam-
mered:
"As she was my own wife, sir, and
as 1 was here to plant flowers on her
grave, perhaps it would not be exactly
proper to accept fee"
1 replied that but for him I 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.

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

Nearly every schoolboy of n 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
lier type is still preserved at the Jeffer-
son physical laboratory at Harvard,
where an interesting collection OF an
tiquated 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 n
horse and n small wagon or Il whole
automobile to move, but the principle
on which it is based is the same as in
it's modern successors. Aside from size
the most noticeable difference is in the
use of Il glass. globe about n foot in di-
ameter 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-which is supported on posts
resembling those of n colonial four
poster bed-the old machine never eX-
ceeded n spark two inches long and
was even proud Of that modest per-
Torrance. How modest 1t really was
may be seen by comparison with Il
modern machine in the next case, so
much smaller than Franklin's that it
can be held in one hand, that produces
spark OF electricity of nearly seven
inches

Why are so many men ailing? Why
do they continuously take treatment
for their private ills and yet never
get well? In the majority of cases
it is because they secure only ordi-
nary treatment. 1t is because they
go TO the general practitioner, who
lacks the teachings of experience in
special cases, or what is still worse
for them, they go to the seIf-styled
specialist whose speciality en-

HAIR OF THE sLOTH.
1t Is Green In Color and For n Pc
euIinr Reason.


1t is n very curious fact that certain
plants grow and thrive on the hair OF
sloths. Apart from its extremely coarse
and brittle nature, the most striking
popularity of the outer hair of the
sloth is it's more or less decidedly green
tinge. Now, green is very rare color
among mammals. and there ought,
therefore, to be some special reason for
its development in the slOth, and. as q
matter of fact. the means by which
this cOIoratiOn is produced is one of
the most marvellous phenomena in the
whole animal kingdom, so marvellous,
indeed, that il is ut first almost impos-
sible TO believe that it is true.
The object of this peculiar type Of
cOloration is, of course, to assimilate
the animal to it's leafy surroundings
and thus to render it as inconspicuOuS
rs possible. and when hanging in its
usual position from the underside of
Il bough' its long. coarse and green
tinged hair is stated to render the sloth
almost indistinguishable from the
lunches of gray green lichens among
which it dwells. In the outer sheath
of the hairs Of the nj there are n num-

cracks grows Il primitive type of plant
namely, one celled alga.
And for the benefit of nonbOtanical
readers it may he we'll to mention here
that alg;e, among which seaweeds are
included, form group of flowerless
plants related on the one hand to the
fungi and on the other to the lichens.
In the moist tropical forests forming
the home of the sloths the algae in the
cracks of their hairs grow readily and
thus communicate to the entire coat
that general green tint which, as al
ready said, is reported to render them
almost indistinguishable from the clus-
tiers of Iichen among which they hang
uspended.-EnOwledg

FISH As FOOD.
The Rest Kinds 10 Eat and the Way
to Cook Them.

to Cook Them.
Fish constitutes one of the most val
liable articles of diet for mankind. al
though the popular notion that it is a
good brain food because of the phos-
phorus it contains is incorrect. As Il
matter of fact fish meat in general con-
tains less phosphorus than most kinds
of flesh meat. But it 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
sicianS regard as the result of excessive
formation or retention OF uric acid. For
convalescents also it is most useful, as
it supplies Il fair amount of nutritive
material in palatable form, with min
imum of tax on the digestive organs.
Among the most nourishing and at
the same time digestible fish are blue
fish. shad, red snapper, fresh Goldfish,
whitefish, striped bass, halibUt and
founders. And equally nutritious, al
though perhaps less dgestible, are
brook trout, lake trout, salmon, mack
erel and cells. Roe is not particularly
nutritious, but it is agreeable to the
taste and fairly digesuble.
The mode of preparation has much to
do with the digestibility of fish, as it
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 ice. 1t may be free from any
taste or Odor. and yet it may have I'M
dergone changes which make it poison
Gus. Some fish are poisonous in them
selves, containing in the natural state
some substance which viii cause alarm
ing symptoms, or even death, if eaten.
With some persons fish in any form
does not agree. causing digestive disor-
derS or skin eruptiOns. This is notably
true Of Holsters and crabs.-Youth's

Weak and Sticky Children

Who, perhaps, have inherited a weak
digestion, continually subject to stomach
troubles, loss of flesh and general weakness,
can be made healthy and strong by the use
of Vogeler's Curative Compound. Every
doctor who is at all up to date will say that
Vogeler's Curative Compound will make the
blood pure and rich, bring colour to the
cheeks, and put on flesh where health de-
mands it. Children who have been weak
and sickly since birth should be treated with
small doses of Vogeler's Curative Compound.
from two to FIVE drops, twice daily, most
satisfactory results will follow. Its the best
of all medicines, because it is made from the
formula of great living physician.
