 "Ol, I'm sure of it. If 1t killed him he'd die with a smile on his lips, per fec,ly happy and at peace with the world"

A Watch Made for Charles |.

A watch which was made for King

of one Of the inhabitants of that city,
and in coed working order. 1t is OF

case Of copper and a leather cover
studded with silver. Within the case

hons are struck, and an alarm as

but short time ago was given to a

for six weeks before he reached the
coast and took ship for France. Often
has been told the story of his adven

at Boscobel and his ride to Bristol
as a serving man, with a lady on the
pillion behind him. One of Cromwelps

oLD-TIME CORN BREAD.
other Points About Delicious South
ern Cookery.

With good meal and cook follow
Ing the lessons and traditions of the
old regime, delicious bread may be
baked of Indian meal. But we have
grave doubts whether it can be baked
as well in a stove as in an open fire
place. But, alas! of the latter only a
few remain.
An ashcake, of course, must have
ashes. They arc indispensable. On
the other hand, "hapjacks" need only
well-greased frying pan; but skill is
required to turn them. That is done
by pitching them out of the pan into
the air and making them come down
flap on the other side. The corn pone
may be cooked in stove or range.
The hoccake was originally cooked
on a hoe in tie fields and in the ne
gro cabins. A skillet will do well
enough for it, but must be well
creased at the bottom. So, too, with
respect to egg or batter bread. AS for
corn mullins, the appliances of range
are admirably adapted to them.
We wish some millionaire would fit
up Virginia country house in ante
belum style, and, among other
things, have in it big open fireplace,
black cook in gingham dress, with
a red bandanna on her head, and also
have half-acr2 mint bed, an icchousc
and an old-time garden, filed with
raspberries and gooseberries, thyme,
sage, curran,s and all ordinary table
vegetables.
When one OF those old-tlme homes
and gardens and kitchens is restored,
ard the host and hostess have entered
into possession, We desire to be listed
as a frequent guest, with reserved
seat in the chimney corner. Then all
We shall want will be the zest, the ap-
petite, the voraciousness We possessed
when we could eat Is rolls and six
eggs for breakfast and consume
whole watermelon between meals. But,
|, alas. it would be easier to restore old
walls and open flreplaces than to
bring back the digestion and storage
capacity of youth that's gone, of
time that's past and can never return.

abounds. 1t is. q common practice for
the physician to recommend the use of
distilled water for patient Ill with
one disease in order to guard against
the liability of other disease germs be-
ing taken into the stomach, and 1t Is
likely that distilled water would be
prescribed for constant use were 1T
not for the difficulty Of securing 1t. 1t
is to provide constant supply of this
pure water, with rs little trouble as
possible, that the household still shown
in the Illustration has been invented
by Edward Warren and George w.
Healy. The invention is to utilize the
waste steam from The tcakcttle, and
the invention, therefore, comprises a
double reservoir, having receiver for
the steam and cold water chamber
surrounding the condenser, y curved
tube is slipped over the spout OF the
kettle to conduct the steam into the
condcnsing chamber, and as fast as the
distilled water collects in this chamber
if is drawn off for use or hottling. The
cold water reservoir IS filled from time
TO time, and has faucet. to feed the
kettle through an opening In the tube
which covers the spout. Thus the
steam from the boiling water is con-
stantly producing the distilled product,
instead of wasting itself in the AR.

Slave Ants at Work

"Slaye Ants" was the interesting
subject of the informal talk with which
a student OF the biological department
of the University of Pennsylvania en-
tertained q number of his friends in his
rooms the other night.
The yong man had in a glass box
a number Of ants Of the warlille and OF
the slave breeds, and he was fortunate
enough to be abla to demonstrate the
work a slave ant does.
See" he said, there is slave
carrying it's mistress now!"
A sturdy ant had, indeed, another one
on it's back, and was pushing along
manfully under the heavy burden.
"And here" he went ON, us a slave
feeding it's MASTER
The little ant in the next compart-
mcnt was carrying food to the big one
and laying it at his feet The latter
ate at his leisure.
Some master ants" the student re-
marked, become so lazy and good-for-
nothing that they rely entirely on their
slaves for food. If the slaves go back
on them they die of starvation. =

Gown as Mail Carrier.

There has just died in tie suburb or
Melbourne an old Irishman OF 80 who
could have supplied novelists with ma
terial for a score of stories of adven-
lures, says the London Chronicle. His
name was John Burl, and away back
in the '3Os, when Australia was only a
penal settlement, ruled in Draconian
fashion by military officers, and long
before the discovery of gold revolu-
tionized the great southern continent,
he was the man who carried the
mails between Melbourne and Sydney.
There were no roads or railways then
1t was wild bush for most of the SOC
miles, and Burk had to rely entirely
on horses to carry out his contract
Once, having lost his horse, he rode
a hundred miles on the back of cow
His adventures with blacks, floods
bush fires, bush-rangers and runaway
convcts were innulnerable. There is
crudely written manuscript of his set
ting forth some of them in the Sydney
public library.

That night Uncle Jack brought the
new cage home. Such an airy, beau

white sani and with tiny branches
mugly fitted in. Jinks was delighted
with his new quarters, but Willis
watched his antics silently. In the
morning mamma saw him chasing q
fly for Jlnks, and shortly afterward
both Jinks and Willis disappeared.
About noontime there was whistle
loud, buoyant, joyous whistle, sound
ing up the side porch path; and a mo

HAZARDS TO HEALTH.
Undue Exposure to Winter Weather
DANGEROUS to Life.

Dangerous to Life.
The majority of persons in the tenn
perate zone delight in winter because
of its sports and amusements. 1t
Brings with it, however, grave hazards
to health and a train of discomforts,
some petty and others serious, but
none Of which is generally recognized
as affecting the health; yet their al
deviation and cure are cften difficult.
It would raise the average of health
significantly if The vast Importance OF
precautionary measures could be i'm
pressed upon the public and attention
drawn to the fact that these so-calied
petty discomforts are a menace to
health
There is O. misunderstanding as to
the benefits which cold weather con-
fers. If in autumn and spring per-
sons took the same amount of exer-
else and breathed as deeply as cold
compels them to in order to maintain
the normal heat of the body, they
would find these seasons congenial to
health. Most persons know that freez-
ing is as inimical to life as burning,
but they seem to think that any de-
gree of cold short Of freezing is bene-
ficial. and one hears pernicious talk
about its stimulating effect, pernicious
because it induces many persons to do
foolhardy things.
Cold IS beneficial only when,
through the demand for oxygen to
feed internal fires, the lungs are stimuI
lated to their full duty. The circula1
tion of the blood should be corres'
pondingly accelerated, and it is as
long as the body is kept warm. But
the moment the hands, feet, nose or
ears become stingingly cold harm Is
done, and if, through insufficient CLOTH
ing. this chill involves the limbs an$
extends to the shoulders or other palM
of the body the danger is proporti ~
ately increased and may be the M
cipient cause of pneumonia, fevers on
other disease.
A chill disturbs the capillary circu-
lation, and in women this is so senst'
tive that it's slightest disturbance
may cause cutaneous disorders. Ere.
quently the seeds of winters dis
comfort are sown d'rirg the first
frosty evenings o; autumn. Many
take keen delight in the sharp tingle
of the air, but the ben of its stimu
Yating ozone is lost unless the body
be protected from chill Often the
hands or feet become .tringingly cold
and within twenty-four hours burn
ing irritation is felt in some part Of
the limbs. Because the hands are
more commonly exposed than the feet
the irritation is usually felt fnst IL
