In a note on Samuel Laurence's por-

The reference here to the mustache
is interesting for the reason that every
portrait of Thackeray. with one eXcep-

Mona mmedans and Pigs.

A recent traveller in Somaliland gives
the following curious incident show
ing the Mohammedan hatred for pigs:
1--WE shot two wart hogs, one a partic-
ularly big boar. Alan wished to keep
the tusks. but of course none of the
Somalis would touch the unclean ami
NAL. At last a bride of 2 rupees in
duced the Midgan woman TO chop the
tusks out with Ratchet. Even then
she would not touch them and with
the help of two sticks, which she used
like a pair Of tongs, put them on a
camel. Then there was Il long dispute
about the Ratchet. No one would touch
it. 1t had been defiled. OF course this
was pure affectation and playing to the
gallery on the ayah's part. At home
with her native tribe she would have
gorged all The pig she could get. But
it f1attered the Somalis. and we march
ed off, the ayah holding the Ratchet at
arms length as if it were going to bite
her"

Lynn" on the Right Side.

When a patient complains OF pad
taste in his mouth every morning OA
waking up, says a physician, the first
question | ask him is as to the position
he assumes when going to sleep. All
immense number Of people sleep on the
left side, and this is the most common
cause of the unpleasant taste which is
generally attributed to dyspepsia. If
meal had been taken within two or
three hours of going to bed. to sleep on
the left side is to give the stomach d
task which it is difficult in the extreme
to perform. The student of anatomy
knows that all food enters and leaves
the stomach on the right side. and
hence sleeping on the left side soon
after eating involves a sort of pump
ing operation which is anything but
conducive to sound rvDose. The action
of the heart is also interfered with
considerably. and the lungs are unduly
compressed. 1t is probable that lying
on the back is the most natural posi-
ton. bUt few men can rest easily so.
and hence it is best to cultivate the
habit Of sleeping on the right side. 1t
is very largely Il matter of habit. and
the sooner it is acquired the better.

Careful of the THERMOMETERS.

In certain village not very long ago
a benevolent doctor offered to give Il
thermometer to every cottage, carefully
explaining it's use. Soon after their ar
rival a district visitor entered one
house where the new thermometer
hung proudly in the middle of the room
dangling at the end of string. The
visitor complimented the owner upon
it and inquired if she remembered the
instructions.

'angs I'm there and 1 watches I'm until

"Quite right. Mrs. -" said the
lady. much pleased that the directions
given had taken root. And what do

Took Him at His Word.

In the year of 1888 the forces of King
Alfonso VI. attacked the Noors and
drove them out of Madrid. In this
connection there is legend that the
Segovians, who were allies Of Alfonso.
had been checked by the SHOWS in the
mountain passes of Fuenfria and were
therefore late in overtaking the main
body of the army. which had sat down
before Madrid. "Sire," they inquired
of the king, where shall we camp?
Inside the city," returned Alfonso.

The BOYS In GRAY.

A question often asked, according to
the United Service, is why the army
cadets at West Point wear gray uni
form, while the uniform of the army
is blue. The origin of the distinction
dates back to the war of 1924,
when the commissary general Of the
army could not procure the blue cloth
required for General Winfield Scott's
brigade, and so they were clad in gray.
So distinguished was the conduct Of
that brigade at Lundy's Lane and Chip
pewa that when, after the war of 1872,
a reorganization of West Point Mill
tary academy was made, out Of compli-
ment to General Scott and his brigade
the uniform of the corps Of cadets was
changed from blue to gray.

BLOOD CIRCULATION.
Breathing and Its Relation to the
secret Of Good Health.

Breathing and It's Relation to the
Secret Of Good Health.
The secret Of health, as every intelli-
gent physician knows, is free and full
circulation of the blood, and this circu-
lation is dependent absolutely on thor
ough oxygenation. In many cases
where erroneous habits of living have
been SO long continued that congestion
has become chronic in one shape or an
other-obesity, govt. rheumatism, con-
stipation or tuberculosis having
camped in the system and crippled it
the patient is not apt to be in a condi-
ton to readily assimilate a sufficient
quantity of oxygen direct from the at
mosphere. The breathing apparatus
must first be properly developed, so
that the patient shall be able to grad
ually increase the supply of air to the
system, until at last he RECEIVERS the
normal power Of deep breathing.
With the building up of the lungs
through proper breathing there is a
metabolism of all the tissues and or
gans, so that. for most men. breathing
exercises are more important than any
mere muscular exercise. Not only the
lungs, but all the internal organs are
brought into play by correct breathing.
1t develops the heart, stomach, liver
and kidneys directly and indirectly ard
nourishes all these organs as they
should be nourished by more blood and
better blood in constant and regular
circulation. Breathing. therefore, is a
sovereign remedy for our national dis
ease of nervous depletion. 1t might
we'll replace the countless tonics. slim
ulants and anodynes now so commonly
resorted to. where results are nothing
less. than tragic in thousands of cases.

Lore of the Glover.

Any one who carries about four
leaved clover will be lucky and will
have the power of discovering ghosts
or evil spirits. With it under the pill
low the lover may insure dreams of
the beloved one. A fragment in the

ney. OF the five leaved clover it is de-
clared that if it be worn on the left
side of maiden's dress or fastened
behind the hall door the Christian

be the same as that of the future hus-

shamrock for good is familiar to all.

He was tail, thin, spare-indeed, ha
struck Ice as almost Enthusiastically
spare. l remember thinking that the
station draft caught him like a torn
leaf flowing at the end Of a branch.
His clothes hung about him as the
clothes Of convalescent who has lost
bulk and weight after long fever. He
had on jacket of brown velveteen-I
cannot swear to the color, but that de-
tail always comes back in the recalled
picture-a flannel shirt, with a loose
necktie bundled into sailors knot,
somewhat fantastical trousers, though
no doubt this effect was due in part to
their limp amplitude about what
>eemed rather the thin green poles ia
miliar in dahlia pots than the legs of
human creature. He wore a straw hat
that in its rear rim suggested forget
fulness on the part Of its wearer, who
had apparently, in sleep or needless
ness, treated it as a cloth cap. These,
however, were details in themselves
trivial and were not consciously noted
till later. The long, narrow face, then
almost sallOw, with somewhat long,
loose hair, that draggled from beneath
the yellow straw hat we'll over the
ears. along the dusky hollows of tenn
pie and cheek, was what Immediately
attracted attention. But the eXtraor
dinariness of the impression was of a
man who had just been rescued from
the sea or a river. Except for the fact
that his clothes did not drip, that the
long black locks hung limp, but not
moist. and that the short velveteen
jacket was disreputable. but not damp,

taken from the water was overwhelm-

You can't punish mob unless you
punish it while it is a mob. A man is
not the same man while he is in a mob
as he is while he is an individual, and
this is one reason why it is so difficult
ever to punish and individual for what
he did as a part of a mob. This dis
tinction is not fanciful; it is real diff.
ference, and public sentiment and pros
ecuting officers and juries recognize it.

Alcohol In Medicine,

Our own opinion, which we have fire.
uuently set forth, is that alcoholic bev-
erages are of value in certain forms of
disease and that their value depends
not so much upon the alcohol. but upon
the vinous others which these bever-
ages contain or should contain. No
medical man doubts that intemperance
in alcohol is an appalling factor in the
spread of crime, disease and poverty.
and it is undoubtedly the duty Of the
medical profession to endeavor to stay
the curse of driak by every means in
it's poWer.-London Lancet.

The Twelve Jurymen.

A prisoner is tried by twelve of his
fellow countrymen. This custom is a
thousand years old, and we get it from
the Vikings. The Vikings divided their
country up into cantons, which were
subdivided into twelve portions, each
sunder a chieftain. When a malefactor
was brought to justice it was usual for
each chieftain to select man from the
district iover which he ruled and COM
pei him to try the prisoner, the verdict
Of these twelve men being declared by
