The Impossible.

The Duke of Wellington wanted a
certain piece of work done and in
structed an officer of the Royal engi-
neers to do it. After examination the
officer informed the duke that II was
impossible.
The duke sent for another officer, a
much younger man and attached to an
other division Of the army. This Off
Ger did what the duke required.
The next morning there appeared in
the ''orders of the day" the following
epigrammatic note: HE who In war
fails to do what he undertakes may al
ways plead accident, which invariably
attends military affairs; but he who de-
clares a thing to be impossible which
is subsequently accomplished registers
his own incapacity."

Danger In .Home Remedies,

"The trouble with poor persons who
try to doctor themselves before coming
here" said physician in public dis
pensary, lis that they do not know the
first thing about the simple remedies
as they call them, that they use. Of
tentimes they do themselves serious in
jury through sheer ignorance. / had a
man in here the other day who had
taken half an ounce Of cholera mix
ture. Somebody had told him to take
half teaspoonfuL 1t is the same way
with paregoric, sweet inter, ammonia
and other well known household rene
dies. Persons who trust to their MEM
DRY are likely to get mixed and either
take an overdose or use the wrong
medicine. A woman came In here suf-
fering from the effects of drug that
she should never have obtained except
on a physicians prescription. 1t was
the big overdose and her prompt appli-
cation for relief that saved her. When
I scolded her she showed me clipping
from one of he magazines advising its
use. The dose prescribed was enough
to kill hor@e."-New York Times.

Cutting on the Nose For Punishment

Cutting on the Nose For Punishment
Rameses III. of Egypt cut off the
nose of any person convicted of treason
or arson. Actisanes, another Egyptian
ruler, punished robbers In the same
way. After each nose had been ampu-
tated back even with the bridge" the
culprit was sent to colony of noseless
felons, the place of Punishment being
known as Rhinoconum, from the ma
ture of the punishment its colonists
had undergone.
In England in 1871 Lord Coventry,
then great keeper of the British SEAL"
had his nose cut off by order Of the
king because he had dared to ask some
questions about an actress then play
ing at Drury Lane theater.
A conscript who protested openly
that he had been enrolled in the army
of Frederick the Great In a fraud
ulent manner had his nose amputated
by order of that sovereign, who spoke
of the punishment as an 'indelible
mark on the front side of the face.'

A writer in the Chicago Tribune
says: my people came from the north
Of Ireland. My great grandfather al
ways stuck his knife through the bot
tom of his eggshells after he had eaten
breakfast. My grandfather and father
followed his example through force of
habit, and now have contracted it. II
you don't break the shells the fairies
can use them for boats and can cross
bodies Of water thus. In the north Of
Ireland there are good fairies and bad
fairies. The bad fairies will play
tricks on you IL they can reach you.
You can hamper their movements by
breaking their boats"

The Menu Card In 1t. First Form

The Menu Card In Its First Form.
In its old fashioned form the menu
was usually written large on cards of
such imposing dimensions that room
for one only could be found at each
end Of the Board. In the medieval
dinner this aid to selection must have
been an absolute necessity, for the
medieval dinner was a mine of sur
prises. 1t was divided into courses, as
are our own dainty meals, but whereas
nowadays the diner has general idea
that fish will follow soup and that en-
tree is succeeded by relieve, and can
conceive generally the sort of demand
that each course will make upon his
appetite and digestion, there was no
possible arguing as to what was going
to happen at an early English dinner.
and close study fails to reveal the ex-
istence of any principle Of arrange
ment

Probably the most expensive tree in
the world is in the City of London, on
the corner of Cheapside and Wood
street about midway between the
Bank of England and st. Paurs. 1t
is an enormous oak, and is said to be
100 years old. 1t is protected by a
clause in the deed of the property
which forbids destruction of tree or
branches. Architects We're compelled
to plan a rather peculiar building to
avoid the branches. There 1t stands
in the corner of one of the busiest
streets in London, occupying ground Of
enormous value-and positively the
only tree in the City of London out
side of the parks.

: AN INGENIOUS BUBeLAR.
How He Opened n Safe without Tools
or Explosives.

How He Opened a Safe without Tools
or Explosives.
An extraordinary account is given of
aow a safe was opened by robber
who had at his disposal no instrument
of any kind, but operated merely with
his finger nail. The person who accom-
plished the feat revealed his intention
of robbing the iron safe In hotel to
another young man, who happened to
be the cousin of the hotel proprietor.
AS a matter of course the proposed
scheme to rob was revealed to the own
er of the hotel, and little before mid
night, when 1t was TO be put into exc
cution, a couple of detectives We're con-
cealed behind the Office counter.
A short time afterward the robber
entered the Office gently, without either
tools or explosives wherewith to open
the massive iron receptacle, the COM
bination of which it was evident he did
not know. He had, however, resorted
to an ingenious plan of his own.
He had pared the nail Of his index
finger on the right hand until the blood
vessels We're exposed. Then by placing
the sensitive wound on the combina-
ton lock he could distinguish the move
ments Of the tumblers as they fell. For
more than an hour did he work, and at
last there came sharp click, and he
swung back the doors of the safe.
He was in the act of filling his peck
cts with the valuable papers it con-
tanned when damper was thrown up
on his activity by the sudden grasp of
the detectives, under whose escort he
was taken to prison.-London Tit Bits.

Wrong Foot Ont Of Red.

About half the world puts the wrong
foot out of bed in the morning. But
which is the wrong foot? 1t is SUI
perstition as old as the hills that If the
left foot touches the floor first you viii
have bad luck that day. Probably null
titudes of men avoid this by sleeping
on the right side of the bed, SO that In
rising the right foot naturally comes
first in contact with the floor. 1t is
said to be fact that most people lie on
their right side because Of the preva-
lent notion that the heart has freer ac-
tiOn.-New York Press.

A certain king, says tale from the
Persian, asked an astrologer, How
many years Of life remain to meT The
wise man replied, Ten" The king
became very respondent and betook
himself, as one stricken with a sick
ness, to his bed. His vizier, who pos
sessed great wisdom, sent for the seer
and In the kings presence asked him,
How many years have you to liver"
He replied, Twenty" The vizier or
dered that he should that very hour be
executed in the kings presence. The
king was satisfied and commended the
sagacity of his minister, and no longer
attached any Importance to the astrolo-
gers saying.

The Millionaire Malady.

Men who have sacrificed health and
youth, scrimped their families and in
jured their digestion in the acquire
ment of pile often think they are
public benefactors and that humanity
in general owes them debt of graft
tude for being so rich. In consequence
they resent as cruel injustice the IA
tigue, chagrin and newspaper notoriety
that money invariably brings in its
trail. 1t would be about as consistent
for a little boy who had gorged himself
on purloined apples to feel injured
when an avenging stomach ache fol-
lowed glnttony. Elliot Gregory In Cen

When Romans Kissed.

Rowena, the beautiful daughter of
the Saxon Hengist, is credited with
having introduced kissing into the
British islands. The Romans had a
really delightful word for kiss oscu-
ldm, which came from os, the mouth,
and meant little mouth, a sweet
mouth. Give me sweet little mouth
would be the phrase used when good
little Roman boy asked his mother for
a kiss
