From the mountains of Camden, Me-,
comes a story of Philadelphia mer-
chant who has summer cottage in
that village and who wished to ex-
change a lively horse which he owned
with a French Canadian who had a
more gentle animal, which women and
children could drive. The Frenchman
was willing to trade, but for some rea-
son insisted upon repeating to the Wis
itor that the local horse did not "look
as we'll as the one belonging to the
Philadelphia man.
An exchange satisfactory to boil
parties was eventually made, and the
first time the visitors wife took the
new horse out for a drive she discov
cred that the beast was as blind as 6
mole. A few days later, when the rus
ticator met the Frenchman, he said:
'See here, you rascal! That horse
you snapped with me for mine was
stone blind. Why didn't you tell me
of it at the time?'
"Ah'm bin try tell you all Ah'm biz
know how fer to tell. Ah'm bin say my
horse was no look lax you horse-saJ
so seek, nine tams. Ah'm no bin blam
eef you no hear me-" Philadelphia

People with weak digestions will al
ways be found to be fond of condi-
ments, as the tendency of these things
is to stimulate the glands of the stom-
ach and cause them to produce a larger
supply of digestive juices. Pepper
mustard and other like spices stir up
the liver and are useful to people who
from necessity or other causes lead
sedentary lives. Vinegar dissolves the
cellulose in raw vegetables, and that is
why it tastes so well with cabbages
and salads. for there is no better judge
than the palate of what is good for the
stomach The oil is added because IL
protects the stomach from the biting

The effect of wind upon trees is pow
erful. Even the presence or absence
of forests may be determined by the
character of the prevailing wind or the
conditions that modify 1t. The wind
acts as a drying agent giving a special
aspect to many plants. When it is al
most always from the same quarter
the plants show greater development
upon one side. Trees are smaller on
the windward edges of forests, and
trunks and branches are bent to lee
ward. The determinations are most mark
ed near the sea or in fat regions. The
cherry, plum, walnut, black poplar,
ash and certain pines are very sensi-
tive to the wind, but mountain pines
and certain frs offer great powers of
resistance and these are recommended
for reforesting wind swept lands.

Thumbs have been appreciated ever
since the world began. The ancients
used to call the thumb the other hand.
Barbarous kings used to swear and
make compacts by their thumbs. In
Rome it was a sign Of favor to wiring
and kiss the thumb and of disfavor
or disgrace to lift it up or turn it out
ward. 4 man who was hurt in his
thumbs was excused from serving in
the Roman wars. Some of the scoun-
drelly citizens used to cut off their
thumbs so as to remain at home and
get rich. Teachers used to punish their
pupils by biting their thumbs.

THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI.
Trip That Compares Favornbly with
the Big Rivers of Earth.

He who has made a voyage from st.
Paul to ST. Louis By boat in the
springtime or the autumn has seen the
finest river scenery that may be OBJ
served from the deck of a steamer ex-
cepting that of the Hudson and the
Rhine Yet few people are aware of the
pleasure and beauty of such a trip.

great rivers. The Amazon from Ma
naos. the great rubber market, about
f,500 miles from the sea. is a vast, ugly
volume of water without any beauty
whatever The Ornoco from Ciudad
Bolivar is a small edition Of the Am
AEON. although the tropical jungles
which line its banks are mysterious in
their denseness and are supposed to
conceal all sorts of wild beasts and
creeping things The Parana. which
flows from Paraguay down past Bue-
nos Ayres and Monteyideo, is more Ike
the Mississippi than any of the others
except that it lacks the bold cliffs and
charming towns and villages that over
look the Father of Waters. The Mag
dalena of Colombia. the fourth largest
river in South America, Is a turbid
stream that is either very low or very
high. according az you travel in the
rainy or dry season of the year Its
banks are lined with tropical forests,
often impenetrable and it changes its
course as often as the Missouri. 1t has
q wild sort of splendor, but it does not
compare with the Mississippi in any re-
spect.
In Europe the Danube is more like
the Mississippi than any other river
and drains a similar country The pas
senger boats are much superior be-
cause the proprietors cater to the tour
list patronage For several centuries
the governments of the provinces
through which the Danube runs have
been improving its channel and walling
up its banks so that along at least half
its course 1t is now more of an artificial
than a natural stream. At one point
where it flows through mountain
gorge in the Balkans the scenery is
more striking than any along the Mis-
sissippi, but for the rest of the way the
latter is much superior The Volga in
Russia is good deal like the Missouri,

about, and for romance. ruins and other
artificial attractions and traditions it is

The Nile has been utilized by tourist
agencies greatly to their profit and
equally to the pleasure of their pa
irons, although there is very little nat
ural scenery, and the greatest attrac-
tons are the venerable ruins, the mys-
teries of the desert through which it
flows and the picturesque Arab settle
ments that line its banks. II similar
accommodations for travellers that are
now found on the Nile could be placed
upon the Mississippi and the boats
managed with equal skill and liberality
the enjoyment of the voyage would be
much greater but l suppose people will
continue to visit and admire the attrac-
lions of Europe no matter what may
be said of those that lie nearer home
