What Others Think of the
Graphic.

We take the liberty of publishing the
following letter received this morning

advertising medium:

Don't Start Wrong.

Don't start the summer with linger-
ing cough or cold. We all know what q
summer cold is. It's the hardest kind
to cure. Often it "hangs on" through
the entire season. Take it in hand right
now. A few doses of One Minute Cough
Cure will set you right. Sure cure for
coughs, colds, Group, grip, bronchitis,
all throat and lung troubles. Absolutely
safe. Acts at once. Children like it,

Riding the wooden Horse.

Torture on a grand scale went out
with FELTON,, the assassin of Bucking-
ham, but torture on q small scale con-
tinued to be practiced on military Of
tenders down to the eighteenth CEN
tury. The form most frequently resort
ed to was that known as the wooden
horse, to ride which was the punish
ment accorded for petty thefts, in
subordination and so on. The wooden
horse was made of planks nailed to-
gether so as to form sharp ridge or
angle about eight or nine feet long.
This ridge represented the back of the
horse and was supported by four posts
or legs about five feet high placed on
stand made movable by truckles. To
complete the resemblance to the no.
blest animal in creation q head and
tail were added.
When soldier was sentenced, either
by court martial or by his commanding
officer, to ride the horse, he was placed
on the brute's back, with his hands tied
behind him, and frequently enough, in
order TO increase the pain, muskets
were fastened to his legs to weigh
them down or, as was jocularly said,
to prevent the fiery, untamed, bare
backed steed from kicking him off,

The Camnhor Eater.

1t is surprising what number Of
camphor eaters there are among the
well to do classes. The idea seems to
prevail that this gum, taken in small
and regular doses, gives a peculiarly
clear creaminess Of complexion, and
scores of young women buy it for this
purpose. The habit is, moreover, very
difficult to cast off, for camphor pro-
duces a mild form of exhilaration and
stupefaction, and in many instances
where very large doses have been swal-
lowed the habit has become sort Of
slavery.
These c" '' hor eaters all have q
dreamy, dazel and very listless air,
and in most of them there is an ever
present longing to sleep or at least to
rest. Extreme weakness generally fol-
lows the taking Of regular doses. and
have seen cases where it has been al
most difficult to tell the effects from
those of alcohol. As to the complexion,
if ghastly pallor be an improvement
camphor certainly produces it.-Clinic.

When Mp1ncky wn. slane-

The word "pluck" affords another in
stance of the way in which slang
words in the course of time become
adopted into current English. We now
meet with ''pluck" and 'plucky" as the
recognized equivalents of courage"
and courageous" An entry in Sir
Walter Scott's Journal shows that in
1927 the word had not yet lost its low
character. He says volume 2, page
30), want of that article blackguard-
ly called pluck" Its origin is obvious.
From early times the heart has been

age. Now, when butcher lays open a
carcass he divides the great vessels of

and then plucks out together the united

THE POULTRY YARD.

Gravel or coarse sand is as much
needed as ordinary food.
All chickens want for health, growth
and good conditions is plain, nutritious
food.
Even when the fowls have an unlim-
tied range it is a good plan to feed
them every evening.
One of the first things to learn about
poultry is that they must be kept clean
and free from vermin.
Peafowls are handsome and subsist
with the least care of any kind Of
fowls. They are prolific layers and q
good protection against hawks.
Raw bone contains every part Of an
egg-white, yolk and shell. Therefore
it should be kept constantly before lay
ing hens in the granulated form.
One of the best ways of removing lice
from fowls is to make them do it them
selves by having a lot of dry earth
where they can dust themselves when
ever they feel like it.
The comb is always an index to the
condition Of the bird. When the comb
is white or very pale or very black
something is wrong. A healthy fowl
shows a bright scarlet color in the
comb.

Slave to a PILLOW.

There is in this city a young man
who sleeps on a pillow that is one foot
square and only four inches thick, a
pillow that resembles a pancake. He
has used it ever since he was baby.
When, at the age of twelve, he entered
st. PauPs school, he took it all the way
to New Hampshire with him, and
when he entered Harvard he took it to
Cambridge also. Starting on his we'd
ding journey, he carried it in his suit
case. When he went abroad, the pill
low went along. And now, when he is
twenty-five, he is more attached to the
tiny thing than ever and will take it on
the briefest trips-on trips of a day,
say, to New York or on trips over night
to the country houses Of his friends.
He says that he has not once slept on
anything but this pillow since he was
seven years old.-Philadelphia Record.

HoURGLAssEs.
They Have Not Gone Out of Style By
a Long Shot.


"Most people think that hourglasses
went out of style years ago." said
clerk in a Twenty-third street store,
'along with perukes and knee breeches,
but as matter of fact we have more
calls for them today than we have had
at any time within the last ten years.
That this renewed popularity of the
hourglass augurs its universal accept
ance as timepiece by the coming gen.
Grafton I am not prepared to say, but
If such a renaissance were to become
assured 1t would be no more surpris-
ing than some Of the other recent fads
based on a revival of lost customs.
Anyway brief study Of the hourglass
will do nobody harm. There are thou
sands in this generation who have not
the slightest idea what an hourglass
looks like, and it won't hurt them to
broaden their education q little along
certain lines.
"Of the hourglasses sold at present
the three minute glass is in the lead.
This glass is used almost exclusively to
measure time in boiling eggs, and Its
usefulness naturally places its sales a
little In advance of the more senti-
mental varieties. Next come the five,
ten and fifteen minute and full hour
glasses, which are bought chiefly By
musicians for piano practice snd by
lodges and secret societies.
"The sand used in an hourgl1ss Is the
very finest that the world affords. The
western coast Of Italy furnishes most
Of it, as it has done for ages past. The
cost Of hourglasses is regulated by the
ornamentation Of the frames. A glass
set in a plain rosewood case can be
bought for 81, while pahogany frame
comes to $1.5O or 50. OF course, the
price can be brought up still higher by
fancy carving and decoration. Swell
lodges sometimes go to this extra ex-
pense, but most people are satisfied
with the cheaper grades. New York

In Liverpool recently sentimental
young lady was on the Cunard steam
ship quay when she saw a young girl
sitting on trunk in an attitude of ut
ter detection and despair.
Poor thing" thought the romantic
lady. "She is probably alone and a

One of the directors of the Norwegian

that fish can leap to the height of

The Appinn Way.

The famous Appian way, mentioned
by almost every Roman writer, con-
nected the Eternal City with all parts
of south Italy. For many miles from
Rome the space on each side was filed
with sepulchers, many Of them of per-
sons distinguished in history. To have
a sepulcher on the Appian way was
equivalent to being buried in Green
wood, in New York, or Pere la Chaise,
in Paris.
