How to Warm Gold Plates.

Various departments of household
Limits have unaccountably neglected to
tell how solid gold plates may be
warmed for the meat courses at din
ner.
This may be done in the right or
the wrong way. The right way is ex-
emplitied at Castle Kilkenny. This is
one of the Oldest inhabited dwellings
in the world, some of the rooms being
800 years old. Among its ancient treas
ures is a service Of gold plate.
Besides the ordinary plate service,
Castle Kilkenny has the whole series
of gold cups used at coronation ban
Quets down to the time of George ~
The gold of the service plates is almost
without alloy, consequently very soft
and easily married. Hence the plates
are warmed and presumably also
washed after use by being dipped into
hot water held by a pair of tongs
whose tips have been muffied in cham
OILS leather.

Tickling the Debtors.

John Barrett was only twenty seven
years old when President Cleveland
appointed him minister to Siam. The
first important task which confronted
the youthful envoy was to press a
claim against the Siamese government
for $1,000,00O Experienced ambassa-
doris warned him against using threats
in obtaining the money. "Be cunning;
avoid arrogance" they said.
''That is" responded Mr.. Barrett,
you favor tickling with a straw to
pricking with bayonet."
The statesmen nodded assent.
When the young minister had finally
succeeded in collecting the claim the
ambassadors asked in astonishment
"How did you accomplish it?''
by tickling" explained Barrett. 81
had to tickle them almost to death,
though, before they agreed to pay it."

QuiniHc.

Quinine was first introduced into Eu.
rope by the wife of Spaniard WHO
was yiceroy of Peru. Then Jesuits
carried it to Rome and throughout
Spain and Italy, proclaiming it an in
fallible remedy for all ills and selling
it to the rich at unheard of prices. An
Englishman at last got hold of some of
the qujnine powder. cured Charles III.
of tertian fever and ON the strength
of it was appointed court physician
and granted lnighthood. Later he
similarly cured the dauphin of France
and induced Louis XIV. to purchase
his Secret Still the medical faculty
fought against quinine. Not even the
patent efficacy of the thing could over
come the fact that II was introduced
by one not Of themselves. For many
years the contest waged Men faithful
to the faculty died for want Of quinine
Others, not caring snap for the asso-
ciated pedants, took their quinine and
lived to see their children's children
congratulate the medical schools of
their day on climbing down and adj
hitting that quinine was a good thing.

A Danger Signal.

A pair of frightened horses were
dashing madly down the street. The
coachman was saving at the reins,

Coffee For the 1nebriate.

A traveller has made the observation
that coffee drinking people are very
seldom given to drunkenness. In Bra
I'll, for instance, where coffee is grown
extensively and all the inhabitants
drink it many times day, intoxication
is rarely seen. The effect is not only
noticeable among the natives, but the
foreigner who settles there, though
possessed of ever such passion for
strong drink, gradually loses his liking
for alcohol as he acquires the coffee
drinking habit of the Brazilian.

Tremendous Rainfall.

The annual rainfall on the Khasia
hills, to the northeast of Calcutta,
amounts to some 600 inches, 500 inches
Of which fall in seven months during
the southwest monsoon. 1t is undoubt-
edly the wettest spot on the globe. AS
many. as $50 inches have been register
ed in five consecutive days, or an aver

tonishing amount is due to the abrupt

bay of Bengal, from which they are
separated by 200 miles of low swamps
and marshes.
