A Funny Incident.

A funny little incident hap
pened a few days ago in which a
negro, a Creole pony and a
bicycle figured. A bicycler
speeding on his bike turned a
corner out near the edge of town,
and brought up face to face with
a Creole pony pulling a sulky in
which was seated a negro. The
pony, rather startled, not to say
amazed, stopped. and threw up
his head with a plain expression
of insulted dignity that such a
skeleton, twO-wheeled, unmiti-
gated contraption should pre-
sumo to almost run over him.
The negro was in a hurry and
not taking any particular stock
in the pony's lascerated feelings,
imprudently and emphatically
applied the whip to the southern
portion of the pony's anatomy.
This was added insult, and the
pony resented it forcibly and
decidedly by lighting out
straight from behind with a
determination to obliterate the
sulky, the negro and the land.

brilliancy and eclat and sue

tangling up his paraphernalia
and winning all kinds of ap-

for it was time to get out of

that he had animated into lightn-

Has Rare Luck i'm Books.

A University of Pennsylvania pro-
fessor became sidetracked from a dis
cussion of Hobbies ethics the other
day and started to tell the boys some
thing about the condolences that had
come under his notice.
This morning" said he, lone Of my
friends who had been rummaging
about some old university documents
came across a stack of old Philadelphia
newspapers published during the 40's
and SOS. The papers themselves were
very interesting, but the most striking
point was the date Of the first paper /
picked up. 1t was dated April 20,
1S42-just sixty-two years ago to the
day.
1T reminded me somewhat of q
friend of mine who was an enthusiast
tic collector of old books. She has an
immense library Of rare volumes and
finds pleasure in picking up rare prints
in the course Of her travels. Three
years ago she purchased a set Of old
Shawspearean quartos while in Hol-
land The set lacked one volume and
for this reason was sold at a remarka-
bly, low figure.
Last February, while my book-col-
lecting friend was visiting in Ohio,
she happened to run across an old
bookshop. After glancing through the
musty old volumes she found the very
quarto, same binding and size, that had
beer missing from her Holland pur-
chase. She looked at the iyleaf and
was amazed to find on it the same sig
nature that was inscribed in the sister
volumes Of the collection. or course
she bought the book immediately

An Errand Dog.

In q town in Cumberland, England.
a dog is in the habit of going to the
cooperative store for groceries. 1t
takes a basket In it's mouth containing
the money and book. When it enters
1t goes to everybody in the shop and
knocks them with the Sasket till some
one takes the money out and gives 1t
to one of the shopkeepers. One day
it dropped something out of its basket
and a boy ran away with it. The dog
put the basket down and ran after
him, and he had to drop the packet;
1t then got it IN Its mouth and put
it into the basket, and, having got
the things, went home. 1t is a sort
of errand dog.-Philadelphia Ledger.

lives they were true and loving; In their
death they were not divided. Their
grave never lacks a garland. This trib-
ute Of love and gratitude Is paid them
by little Susan, now a prosperous farm
er's wife.
And now for the last scene in this, my
long, eventual story. 1t is autumn once
again. Little children are frisking on
the lawn; old Mr.. Royston sits In a gar
den chair, watching them at play.
May and Randall sit side by side, hand
in hand; Randall a little older, with just
n few gray hairs sprinl;led over his head;
May more sweet and beautiful than ever,
but looking inehably happy; and the old
mansion looking just the sarse as ever,
only that windows are wide open, and
flowers in autumn brilliance Of color are
blooming everywhere.
They had been abroad for some time,
and Changmoor House had been closed
but on the lawns and slopes of sunny
Provence, Randall had wooed and won his
fair-haired cousin, and then they had
come home.
A little fair-haired girl is breaking of
some twigs from a cypress that is rallied
in, and which waves solemnly to and
fro In the wind; and the old man calls to
her hastily, Maggie. come here, little
one;'' and the rest gather round, as the
child shows her branch triumphantiy.
The old man strains her to his heart
this little child, and says, my pretty
Maggie!' Then they look over to the
funeral tree where the summer house
stood in days Of yore, and they see again
the picture-only through the softening
light of a happy life-of that dark. beau
tiful girl, who, with her heart and new
born love, had staked it against her des'
tiny, and had lost.

The food of childhood often decides

Cures Upon Diet Instead of Drugs.
1t is well known that nearly all
plants contain the essential elements
Of medicine, and a large majority Of
the drugs found in the pharmacopae
of the present day are vegetable ex-
tracts. The quantity of any character
istic element In a plant varies with its
richness in the soil. This is, Of course,
q correlative of the well-known bene-
fetal action of fertilizers in increasing
however, to attempt the cultivation OF
medicinal plants-that is, common
vegetables containing abnormal guam
titles of substances it is desired to adj
minister. 1t is evident to every one
at all acquainted with the laws Of
physiology that the assimilation OF
mineral elements by the body is much
more readily accomplished when these
are partaken in the form of food in
vegetables.
In the past, If the body has needed
III rec of iron it has been supplied
by iron tincture taken through a glass
tube after meals. The modern idea is
to supply this want by certain veg
etables, such as spinach. Experiments
looking to the demonstration of this
scheme have been undertaken recently
in Europe. Ferruginous plants were
grown in soil neriched by the addition
of hydrate If iron, and upon analysis
1t was found that plants grown in such
soil contained a much larger percent
age of iron than similar plants grown
In natural soil. OF course, it is not
to be supposed that this increase in
the percentage can be increased indef-
initely, but it can be carried to a max
imum point which is very much great
er than the average.
This same demonstration has also
been carried out In connection with tea
cultivation. Samples Of tea leaves
from several plantations having sim
liar climate and altitude conditions,
but different soils, were gathered, and
after drying were Analysed in the lab
oratory for their content of iron, nitro
gen, prosphoric acid, siEc acid, caffein
and ash. The various soils In which
the several plants yielding the sample
leaves had been grown were also
anaIyzed for similar elements and 1t
was found that the chemical compost
ton of the soil, especially the quaint
ties of those substances taken by the
plant. has an influence, clearly demon
stratable by chemical analysis, on the
composition of tea leaves produced on
such soil.
A very interesting vista opens up to
the prophetic eye in giving free rein
to the imagination on this fascinating
subject. WIN the doctor Of the future,
instead of ordering a nauseous dose
from the druggist, prescribe a course OF
medicinal vegetables, furnishing the
