puttermi1k a LIQUOR Cure.

A buyer for one of the largest liquor
houses in Philadelphia who is COM
PEELED to sample enough wine and spir-
its every day to put an ordinary man
out of business says that buttermilk
is his salvation. "I not only buy five
or six glasses a day at the dairy res
taurants or street stands" he says,
"but l drink 1t all the time at home
instead of tea or coffee. never touch
beer or anything like that. 1 keep a
stone crock of buttermilk in the cellar
and let it get just a little stale. 1t is
better then than if taken fresh. A
man who insists on drinking liquor will
find very little trouble if he takes
plenty of buttermilk If he wants to
swear off, buttermilk will help him. 1t
is a splendid stomachic. Two quarts
of good buttermilk a day will cure any
case of nervous indigestion. ."-Philadel-

THE FIRST STOVES.
They Superseded the Roman stuba
In the Eighteenth Century.

They Superseded the Roman Stuba
In the Eighteenth Century.
A heating apparatus called ''stuba"
(stove) was widely used among the
higher class Of Romans before the be-
ginning of the Christian era This
class of heaters was fixed and immova-
BILE, besides being In several other re-
spects wholly different from the mod
ern stove. In Germany and Scandina.
via they were used ip bath rooms and
hothouses during the middle ages.
They were usually constructed of
brick, stone or tile and were of i'm
mense size. They sometimes covered
the whole side of q twenty or thirty
foot room and often extended out into
the room as much as ten feet In which
case the smooth, fat top was used for
ing an agreeable feeling of warmth
during those cold nights of long ago
when such things as covers were quite
rare.
Cardinal Polignac of France was per
haps the first to attempt the construc
ton of stove wholly of iron, this at
about the beginning of the eighteenth
century. The first real improvement
over the old Roman "stuba" was
brought about by Franklin in the year
1745. One of his efforts produced a
typical base burner, almost perfect and
a model of workmanship. Stoves were
not used in private houses to any great
extent prior to the year $780,

SMART SET FRIENDSHIPS.
They Usually Have n Purpose, So.
cta1, Political or Financial

They Usually Have a Purpose, So
cfal, Political or Financial.
There are friends in what is labeled
"the smart set whose motto in life
would appear to be, Danish dull care"
These are the people who give those
cheerful dinners where nobody cares
rap for precedence. Everybody takes
his affinity in to dinner The host starts
off with the prettiest girl, and the host
ess is taken down by some beardless
boy. 1t is Liberty hall, with nicknames
for all present, abundance of "chaff"
and stories something more than risky.
They are all great friends, of course,
and call each other dear things" and
know exactly how much is meant by
that, while they smile sweetly and say
"Cat!' in connection with most of them
behind their backs. Few of these so
called friendships in society are made
without purpose, either political, So
cial or financial. The peeress wants a
Tip" from the millionaire, either
Stock Exchange tip or one affecting
coin or copper or whatever his special
line may be. Our "nice" friends are
nice in so far as they are useful to u.s.
At the same time, in justice to society,
it ought to be pointed out that no one
is taken in by these interested friend
ships. The people who only make
friends calculating how much they will
benefit thereby are seen through by ev-
erybody and disliked so openly that
only their toadies fail to let them see 1t.

The Price of slaves.

The prices of slaves varied very
greatly in different parts of the south
in antebellum days. In states like
South Carolina or Louisiana, where
slaves were always in demand, much
more was paid for them than in the
border states like Kentucky and Mis-
souri,, where they could easily run
away. In New Orleans $1,SOO to $2,-
500 was often paid for a good car
penter or blacksmith, who in Kentucky
or Missouri would not have brought
more than half as much. Many slave.
traders made regular business of buy
ing in the border states and selling in
Mobile, New Orleans or Charleston,
and there was always a handsome
profit in the transaction. The most
risky part of the business was the
guarantee demanded that the slave
would not run away. The time limit
was commonly thirty days, and the
matter was usually arranged with the
slave himself by taking his promise
and giving him So or $40 to stay until
the guarantee had expired.-Exchange

The Finishing Touch,

The small boy with his eyes open Of

than the artist who draws things as
they are not. An illustrator who is

he said:

''The dog?" inquired. What dog?"
"Any dog" he said in tone of pity
for my dullness. "Why, father, don't
you know there's always at least one
dog running alongside and getting un-
der everybody's feet when you're going
to fire? Haven't you ever been to a
fire, father, or seen a crowd going to
one?"
When l thought 1t over I knew he
was right, and the dog went in.-

A Business Epitaph.

Amusing epitaphs are not difficult to
find if one is seeking them. The Che
shire Republican cites a most singular
one which may be found on a monu-
ment in eastern Tennessee:
Sacred to the memory of John Smith,
for twenty years senior partner Of the
firm Of Smith & Jones, now J. J. Jones &
Co.
The names are not really Smith and
Jones, but they will answer for the
purposes Of the story. IT met Jones
later" says the narrator, "and he gave
me frank explanation Of the inscrip-
ton.
Smith was a bachelor without rela-
tives," he said, "but he knew a tre-
mendous lot Of country people, and If
any of them happened to see his grave
they might think that the old house
had closed up and gone out Of business.
So thought 1t no more than right to
let them know that the firm was still
alive"

A PiscatoriaI Gunner.

The jaculator fish, the piscatorial
gunner of the Javan lakes, uses his
mouth as a squirt gun and is a marks
man Of no mean ability. Go to a smah
lake or pond filed with specimens Of
jaculators, place stake or pole in the
water with the end projecting from one
to three feet above the surface, place
a beetle or fly on top Of the pole and
await developments. Soon the water
will be swarming with finny gunners,
each anxious for a shot at the tender
morsel which the experimenter has
placed in full view. Presently one
comes to the surface, steadily observes
his prey and measures the distance
Instantly he screws his mouth into the
funniest shapes imaginable, discharges
a stream of water with precision equal
to any sharpshooter knocks the fly OF
beetle into the water, where he Is in
stantly devoured by the successful
Nimrod or some Of his hungry horde
This sport may be kept up as long as
the supply of beetles and flies holds

an auction Incident

A japanese vase had been brought
forward, and a German in the crowd
offered So A second bid not being
heard the vase was withdrawn, the
auctioneer stating that he could not
sell on one bid
"Now, ladies and gentlemen" the
auctioneer cried out, spreading large
rug on the floor, "here is a piece Of
goods worth $50. Do hear $50? Do
I hear $40?"
''Ten dollars" shouted the German
who had bid on the vase
"Ten dollars-gonel Sold to my
friend there" the auctioneer replied,
jotting down the price on pad.
Hold on a minute" cried out the
purchaser, you can't sell on vun pid."
"Oh, that's optional with the auc-
tioneer," stammered out the former.

Odors of Flowers.

1t is a remarkable fact that although
there are nearly or quite 100000 flow
ering plants known the relative num-
ber having odor is wonderfully small,
not more than 10 per cent, in fact. In
connection with this it is noteworthy
that because one species Of flower is
endowed with sweet odor it does not
necessarily follow that all or nearly
all or even a fair proportion of the
other species Of the same family will
be as favorably endowed. An illustra-
ton of this is found in the familiar
mignonette There are some fifty spe-
cies of this genus known, and of them
all, but one has any fragrance. Nor is
it certain that the most insignificant
looking flower has the greatest fra
GRANGE or the most gorgeously colored
likely to be without odor, thus seem
ingly disproving the theory that color
and fragrance are given flowers for
the purpose of attracting insects to
assist in cross fertilization.

The As, and the Ladder.

GOING IN TO DINNER.
How the Methods Differ In France,
England and America.


England and America.
In France they walk into the dining
room abreast, the lady and her lord
like two chums, equal one to the other.
In England John Bull goes first, she
following meek and demure In Ameri-
ca Mrs. Jonathan enters triumphantly,
leading the way, while her dear old
spouse follows.
In France men and women walk with
equal assurance. When they meet on
the street the men pay their respect to
the women and the latter show their
Difference to the men by the way in
which they salute one another. Your
natural conclusion is that such men
and women go through life on the same
equal footing.
On the contrary, John Bull has the
air of lord of creation. He leads the
way a little haughtily perhaps and not
overpleasant looking. He is duly SEN
sible Of the fact that he is a master
the master. He is of course polite and
deferential to women, but it is with q
slightly patronizing air, condescen-
sion of his lofty lordship. He feels his
supposed superiority, and he cannot
help showing 1t. Among the middle and
lower class people the man is master
and enters his house before his wife,
mother or daughter
In the United States the woman
walks like duchess. She is mistress
of all she surveys. She stands erect and
queenly, and her eyes are frank For
her, man exists. He pays her court.
She is indeed a queen. = American

No Doubt About 1t.

A kind hearted lady saw a small boy
seated on one Of the benches In Fair
mount park the other day smoking a
cigar which she afterward told a
friend seemed almost as big as him
self. The lady is an enthusiastic anti
tobacco worker and never loses an op-
portunity to impress, especially upon
youthful minds, the evils of using to-
bacco in any form.
Seating herself by the side of the lad,
she said kindly, "Oh, my boy, wouldn't
your father be dreadfully panied If he
saw you smoking that cigarT
Rather think he would" responded
the twentieth century young man
without removing the weed from his
mouth. This is one of his best cigars"

The House Spider.

While the common house spider is
harmless and renders a positive serv-
ice to mankind by killing flies and
other insects, it is generally regarded
with aversion if not with fright. The
ordinary spider does not deserve its
bad reputation. From time immemo-
rial it has been called crafty and muir
derous, Turing the poor fly to its death
and then greedily devouring it, but
really it only Furnishes trespassers.
