A sure Cure.

A father returning from business COM
planned of having suffered all day with the
toothache and had his hand to the side Of
his face, as though he was suffering a
great deal, at the dinner table. His little
son, about fve looked at him sympathet7
ically and said: ssPaIa, | can cure you, if
you win do what tell you to. Fill your
mouth full Of water al,d go siton the stove

man, but, strange to say, never have

aOh, that IS easily explained, rejoined
the auburn haired female, 'one glance at
a self-made man is enough to disgust a
woman with the self-made business.

HORSE SKELETONS NOW
IN NEW YORK MUSEUM
Fine Specimens on Exhibition Recently
Provided Through the Gift of
William c. Whitney.

NEW YORK, Nov. IA collection OF
horse fossils and skeletons wlstch is tx-
pected. when finished. to be enc of the
most representative OF its sort. has been
put on exhibition at the American AIu-
scum of Natural History as the first
public view OF the work done with a
fund contributed by william c Whit
ney. a year or two ago Mr.. whitney
gave the museum authorities 800 a
year for three years to be expended in
gathering a collection of horse skele-
tons.
In the collection is the skeleton. of one
OF the smallest Shetland ponies to be
found anywhere. Another specimen e
the fossil skeleton Of splendid horse.
as Director Bumpus Of the museum calls
It, which is the immediate ancestor of
the American horse as we know it to-
day. This was found in Texas, and Mr..
Bumpus says the original bones belong
ed to an animal which lived before Eu-
ropeans saw America. 1t IS very much
Ike the American horse of today; in
fact, Mr. Bumpus says II would take an
expert 10 find the difference.
Another of the fossils is of a three
toed horse slightly larger than a faIlow
deer
The largest specimen Of the collection
is the skeleton of a magnificent Per-
cheron draft horse which was owr q BIZ
George Ehret. the brewer. The horse s
leg was broken by a mishap and the
animal was shot Mr.. Ehret gladly
gave tia skeleton TO the collection
when ne learned that it would be one OF
the most desirable features Of the
group Special care was used in mount
ing this specimen.
It is said Mr.. Whitney hopes to add
the skeleton of Lou Dillon, the world
trotting champion. 10 the collection

Mr.. Bumpus said Mr.. Whitney might
have such a wish. but the subject was
too delicate to be discussed while Lou
Dillon was alive.

CUTTING THE PAINTER .

When was the phrase. "cut the paint
err first used IN a political sense. as
denoting the severance Of colony from
the mother country? That is whatsDr.
Murray wants u know at present for
the purposes q his monumental dietion-
airy. His personal impression Is that
he first heard IT IN 1870 that IL was then
a weil-known Australian phrase. and
that Il represented the Antipodean sen
timent Of that period. II was certainly
used much earlier than 1870. especially
du-ing the anti-transportation agita-
tion OF the fc49ies and mites. Threats
Of cutting the painter were then quite
common with the democratic orators Of
sydney and Melbourne. Indeed, we
should not be- surprised if II is traced
back TO Boston and Bunker Hin-Lon-

THE STRENGTH OF EGG SHELLS

Most OF us know that eggs resist a
good deal OF steady pressure, but prob
ably few realize how much. and the
following tests, given in a foreign Sci
enufic Journal, may surprise readers.
Eight ordinary hens eggs were found
only 20 give way under "A pressure, APP
piled all around, Of between 400 and
675 pounds on the square inch OF surface.
When the stresses We're applied in
ternally 10 twelve eggs they yielded at
a pressure of thirty-tWO 20 sixty-five
pounds per square inch. The pressure
required merely to crush the eggs was
between forty and sevcnfy-fiVe pounds
per square inch. The average thickness
Of the shells was thirteen -thousandths

PATIENTS OF HOSPITALS
NURSED BY MACHINERY
Ingenious Devices Which Take Place of
Real Nurses.

Hospital patients can now be nursed
by machinery. An inventor has recently
patented an ingenius little machine. con-
sisting of "A small box, in which is a
self-registering Thermometer, connected
electrically with a tiny bell. This regis
ter is put under the Hrmpit of a person
suffering from fever and when his tenn
perature rises the bell rings and the
doctor or nurse is summoned.
DR. Laborde. of the French Academy
of Medicine. has recently constructed a
wonderful little electric machine for re-
storing persons unconscious from drown
ing. sunocation or similar causes. II
Is called the electric tongue-tractor, and

The position of the market in the i'm
mediate future seems TO depend largely
on developments in the industrial world.
The railroad stocks are conceded gem
orally to be free of bearish factors. and
little fear is felt that these issues will
decline materially. 1t is not so with
the Industrial group. For, while the
paste conditions Of the various COM
panies arc undoubtedly sound. the at
tacKs on tie stocks have shattered con-
fidence to a deplorable extent. Until

Christmas Treat At Maryland
Avenue Church.

The lecture room of Maryland Ave-
nue. M. L. Church was the scene of
much joy and gladness la4t night, the
occasion being the annual Christians
treat to the scholars of the Sunday
school.
The room was tastefully decorated,
the music bright and the singing ami
mated. The children all took their
parts so well that it would be hard to
discriminate. The little tots, es-
pecially, in their dialogues, and reci-
tations showed their training. After
the program had been rendered and
Santa had gladdened the little ones.
there was general exchange of gifts,
among the scholars and teachers.
Glass No. 10, composed Of young
and old men, and taught by Mrs. L.
E. Peters. presented their teacher
with handsome jardiniere filed with
red and white cyclamen and mounted
on pedestal. The presentation was
made ON the part of the class. by Mr..
John B. League, in few earnest but
well chosen words. At the same time
he presented to Rev. I. E. Peters a
watch fob, with few humorous re-
marks. This was also from Glass
No. TO- The room was crowded and
everybody seemed pleased with the
evenings entertainment

A Touch of Christmas.

The Book of the Royal Blue" for
December has that touch of Christmas
universally noticeable in all maya
zines. 1t opens with short sketch in
prose by s. W. Gillian, and Christ
mas poem by w. d. Nesbit The
second article on the Identification
of American Cities" appears, with
direct reference to the recent move
ment of Cleveland, Ohio, in consider
ing measures and making plans for
the rebuilding of the business portion
of that city in an artistic manner.
The article is accompanied with IL
lustrations of the methods pursued in
the various European cities. Another
most interesting article is that on
Alexandria, Va. 1t is a historical
sketch of the time of Washington, and
deals with the first acts of the Revolu-
tionary War, which occurred in this
quaint old Virginia town near the city
of Washington. The number is re-
plete with its usual poems and descrip-
tive matter.
