Hurraedithe Work.

The owner Of q brewery in England
began the construction of new cellar
at late period of the gear; but, to his
great annoyance. very little progress
was made with che excavations not
withstanding the large number Of work
men employed. An at once, however,
q spirit of wild enthusiasm seemed to
come over the men, and they now work
ed with unt1agging industry from the
first streak of dawn till late in the even
ing. When the ground had been exca-
waited to sufficient depth, they had al
most to be prevented by main force
from penetrating still deeper into the
soil, and they departed with sadness
from the scene of their activity.
The brewer rubbed his hands with
delight. What was the solution Of the
riddle2 He had placed In an old earth-
enware pot, corroded with salt. n strip
Of parchment on which he had written
the following words In an antiquated
hand: "Moche money lyeth here below.

he then covered the vessel with a
weather worn piece Of slate and buried
# In a spot where the workmen would
find 1t the next day.

LtTTLE BARBADOS.
TIE 1sland Contains About IL
Proudest People OH Earth,

Proudest People on Earth.
None of the great nations of the
earth is half SO proud Of itself as the
little colony Of Barbados, mere speck
in the Caribbean, which calls itself
'the little England of the tropics"
Alone of all Englnnd's West Indian
isles. Barbados has belonged to Eng
land over since 1t was first cuionized
by white men. 1t has never been con.
Quered by the enemy, as the others
have been This fact naturally gives
the Barbadinns good conceit of them
selves and indeed makes them Just
about the proudest people on earth.
When Just before the Crfmean war
England was hesitating whether she
should attack Russia the Barbadians
sent this message to tho cabinet:
go ahead. Don't be afraid. Barba-
dos is behind you"
King George was offered an asylum
by little England" when Napoleon
Bonaparte proposed to invade Eng
land.
III you were driven from England"
the Barbadians wrote, "come here. You
will be safe with lis to protect you"
When England was suffering her
worst reverses In South Africa the
Barbadians were not worried They
knew that If matters really reached a
crisis Barbados would go In and finish
the business" as one of their newspa-

have known n number of men who
would make snakes bite them every
day. and they simply couldn't get along
without 1t. Their energies would begin
to lag. They would feel drowsy and
lifeless. BY allowing snake to bite
them they could relieve this condition.
The poison would stimulate and buoy
up, having the same effect as dose of
morphine or cocaine or other kinds of
dope has on persons addicted to its
use. OF course they are careful not to
get an overdose Of poison, always ex-
tracing enough of 1t to keep down the
dangerous consequences Of the bite.
Often men addicted to this ugly prac-

An Aid to Graoe.

ture as graceful as they might be II

fur behind French and Italian ladies
in grace of bearing, and the reason
probably is that their bodies are not
so carefully trained.
In Spain and Italy women Of the
higher class are generally expert
swordswomen, for they esteem fencing
as one of the best possible athletic ex-
ercises, valuable alike for giving
strength and grace to the body and
alertness to the mind. Young girls,
therefore, are taught to fence rs care
fully as their brothers and as accurate

ladies practice not only with the foils.

In America a few women of the
smart SGT" and number Of the
younger actresses delight in fencing
but this form of athletics Is by nc
means as popular as 1t deserves to be
among the girls, and yet those few who
take 1t up not only derive great phys.
zeal benefit from IT, but find 1t a most
fascinating and exhilarating exercise.

How to BOIL Ham,

It is not nearly SO easy as 1t looks to
boil ham in such manner Us to retain
Its juiciness and good flavor, and yet
there are few things more delicious
than plain boiled ham when properly
cooked. After selecting ham. we
will say, in the case of small family,
one weighing seven pounds, 1t should
be soaked In cold water for twenty
four hours. This will reduce the ex-
IRENE saltiness disagreeable to some
palates. Next dry with q towel. put
1t in a pot, cover with cold water and
boil steadily for three hours. Remove,
take of the upper skin and dredge
while hot with sifted bread crumbs,
decorating the shank, If you choose,
with paper ruf1ie. Then lay the ham
in a roasting pan and brown In a slow
oven, which should take about twenty
minutes. Garnish with parsley and

How Eyes Arc rested.

The theory of the OFFICIALLY perfect
eye is that parallel rays of light enter
ing it are brought TO focus on its ret
ina. Any deviation from this condi-
ton constitutes an error of refraction
and requires for Its correction an arti-
fetal variation of the luminous rays.
The generally adopted method Of de-
termining the refraction of the eye is
to use test types placed at such dis
lance that the rays of light emanating
from them may be regarded in practice
as parallel. and the deviation from par
allelism necessary to correct refrac-
tive error is effected by placing lens
in front of the eye. There are many
other methods of changing the course
of luminous rays coming from test
object, and of these the single convey
lens is the simplest and most often
usediin optometry.

The walking stick" like the walk
