Saw the Whole of 1t,

Alexander weeping because the world
was so small has a counterpart in an
old inhabitant of Luss. a pretty little
village on Loeb Lomond side, Scotland,
who at last has been persuaded to
climb the mountain which has filled so
large a part Of his horizon all the days
of his life. In Luss he has lived. as his
fathers lived before him. and from
Luss he has never had the ambition to
journey. even as far us Glasgow. But
some one got him to the top Of Ben 10
mond the other day.
.Eh. mon," said he, with great self
congratulation, but the worlds Il big

The time given by both parties at pri-
mary elections is too short for thickly pop
ulated districts. 1t is impossible for laboring
men to get to vote. The labor Organi-

The Value of Sunlight.

One of the greatest cures at the sani-
tariums established all over the coun-
try is the simple sun bath. The solar
heat gives to the whole system Il
strength and vigor which no nourish-
ing food can impart. 1t is so essential
to our health and happiness that when
it is taken away from us we become
weak, run down and pale. But when
we go out into the warm sunlight again
new strength and health come to U.S.
The sun bath is essential. Take it ev-
cry day. Cut down the trees that are
so close to the house that they obscure
the sun and have every living room
flooded with light. If one is forced to
stay indoors all day try to get near
the sunny window where the full ef
fects of the sunlight can be felt. 1t
will cure neuralgia, nervousness, faint
ness, weakness and dozen other COM
plants. 1t will give color and beauty
to the complexion by making the blood
better and purer. The purest and pret-
tiest compilations are those which are
wind swept and sun Drowned during
the summer time, and not those which
come from dark room.

1t Was Not n LOZenger.

The exception to the rule that funer-
ais are among the most solemn of hui
man customs occurred at burial in a
Quaker settlement
An aged and highly respected man in
the community died, and the funeral
was largely attended. In room filled
with relatives and friends Of the dead
sat an old farmer, whose cough, like
some of the ailments that affiict hui
mans, was especially aggravated when
the mOurners were quietest.
He made several efforts to control the
hectic spasms; but, being blunt in dis
position and not the least self con-
sciOus, he did not realize that he had
the nerves of half of the room on edge
and consequently did not worry himself
about stopping the cough. Much an
noyed, but full Of sympathy, spinster
lady, a neighbOr, who sat behind him,
plunged her hand quietly into an an
cicnt reticule and, drawing out some
thing In her hand, passed it to him,
saying in whisper, Here is a lonzen-
ger, John; it will stop thee from cough
ing"
The farmer took it rather Indifferent
ly, put 1t into his mouth, bit hard, then
suddenly raised half n foot off his
chair, with a wry face. Returning the
"loZcngcr," he said in voice heard
throughout the room:

with thy shoe buttons. I have almost

The Acanthus In Architecture.

\1trurius. n Roman architect and en-
gineer who tlourished in the reign of
Augustus Caesar, tells the following
story
Callimachus. n COrinthian architect,
was one day sitting, lost in thought, in
burial place just outside the city
when his attention was drawn to the
tomb Of Corinthian maiden of hum
BILE birth. The friends of the child had
placed on her grave a basket of her
toys, and this, covered with tile to
keep out the rain, was placed over an
acanthus root.
The leaves of the plant had closely
surrounded the basket until they reach
cd the tile, when they had curved out
ward and downward very gracefully.
This so struck the fancy of CALI
machus that he set about initiating the
figure. His attempts eventually re-
suited in the invention of the Corinthi-
an style, in which the vase of the cap
ital represents the basket, the abacus
the tile, and the vOlutes the bending
leaves.
The era of Callimachus Is uncertain,
but as the COrinthian column was used
by Scopas, the architect of the temple
Of Athena Alea at Tegea about 394
b. c., he must have lived before that
time

HORSE WHlSPERERS.
secret Methods That Were Used by
Irish Animal Tanners.

dc9Het htthous were UHeO "
Irish Animal Tanners.
Ireland, as well us the far north Of
Scotland, had-possibly still has-its
"horse whisperers," though the broth
erings' which give such permanence
and gcniality to the Scottish "plow-
mans whisper never seem to lave ex-
listed in the sister island. Irish ''whis-
pcrers" have been lonely men, whose
secret has generally died with them,
says the Golden Penny.
The most famous "whisperer" of
modern times was james Sullivan Of
Dunhallow. No horse was ever
brought to Sullivan which he did not
permanently tame. Ordinarily restive
animals he would master in u few min
utes. For exceptionally vicious horses
he took about half an hour, during
which time he shut the stable door and
forbade any one to open it till he gave
the signal. When the door was opened
the horse was still lying down and
Sullivan by his side, playing with him
as child does with puppy. There
was no tying up of the foreleg or any
other visible means Of coercion. How
his ascendency was obtained no one
could tell.
A successor Of Sullivan named
O'Hara became almost equally famous,
and was often urged to explain what
was the secret of his influence. But
O'Hara treated his questioners as SAM
son did the Philistines, deluding them
with various and unsatisfactory an
swers. At one time, for instance, he
said the secret lay in rocking" the
horse-putting one hand firmly on his
his shoulder and then swaying him to
and fro, gently at first and gradually
increasing the motion till you throw
him. At another time he protested that
his plan was to bite the animals ear.
Both these are well known Jockey
tricks. The most stubborn horse, they
say, will1be wholly subdued by being
thrown twice or thrice, and If you can
get vicious horses ear between your
teeth and bite hard you are his master
and he your submissive slave from that
time forward. AS to the idea that the
"whisperer" works by kindness, 1t
stands to reason that that method sup
poses the entire education of the ami
nal to be in your hands. If you have
only half an hour to do your work in,
you must show overmastering power
as we'll as kindly feelings. A horse
whose temper has been spoiled by
chronic bad treatment looks on all men
alike as tyrants and bullies.

EFFICACY OF THE ONION.
Apply 1t Outside and Inside and Cure
n COld.

The idea of an onion cure may not
ever, the experience Of those who have
tried it is that it works wonders in re-
storing racked system to It's normal
state again. There are three kinds of
doses in the onion cure, or three onion
cures, as you choose to put 1t. One Is
diet of onions, the other Is onion plas-
ters and the third is onion sirup.
1t is claimed by those who believe in
the onion cure that bad cold can be
broken up if the patient will stay in
doors and feed on liberal diet Of
onions. 1t need not be an exclusive
diet, but a liberal one. For instance,
an onion cure breakfast includes a
pOached egg on toast, three tablespoon
fuls of fried onions and a cup Of coffee.
Luncheon of sandwiches, made of BOs-
ton brown bread, buttered and filed
with finely chopped raw onions, sea-
soned with salt and pepper, makes the
second meal on the schedule. For sup
per the onions may be fried as for
breakfast and eaten with chop and
baked potato.
The strange efficacy Of onions is well
known to the singers of Italy and
Spain, who eat them every day to i'm
prove the quality Of their voices and
keep them smooth. Onion plasters are
prescribed to break up hard coughs
They are made of fried onions placed
between two pieces of old muslin. The
plaster Is kept quite hot until the pa
tient is snugly in bed, when 1t Is placed
on the chest to stay overnight. Onion
sirup is dose that can be bought of
any druggist and is claimed by some to
be unequaled as cure for cold in the
chest
All this Is probably quite true. For
to be done up with onions, both inside
and out, would be enough certainly to
chase out any self respecting cold
