An Anecdote of Pope.

There is an old anecdote of Alexan-
der Pope concerning one of the old
watermen who was employed for many
years in rowing Pope on the Thames.
Pope was in the habit of having his
sedan chair lifted into the punt. If
the weather was fine, he let down the
glasses; if cold, he pulled them up. He
would sometimes say to the water
man:
"John, I am going to repeat some
verses Take care and remember them
the next time 1 go out"
When that time came, Pope would
say:
''John, where are the verses I told
you OFF,
81 have forgotten them, sir"
"John, you are a blockhead. I must
write them down for you"
John says that no one thought of
saying, when speaking Of him, "Mr.
Pope" but that he was always called
"Mr. Alexander"

..rhe Dog win Have His Day

ssThe Dog VIII Have His Day"
In Hamlet" act 4, scene 1, we read:
Let Hercules himself do what he may,
The cat will NEW, the dog will have his
day.
The latter line has become a popular
saying, but we are naturally inclined
to ask what it means. Why should a
dog have a day all to himself any more
than any other four footed creature?
Is not the passage a piece of silly slang,
and ought it not to be suppressed, like
any other cant phrase that is born in
the streets? To harmonic the verse
with sense and Shakespeare a friend
has suggested that the last word ought
to be changed to bay. We should then
read, .The cat will new, the dog will
have his bay I have no doubt that
Shakespeare wrote it SO and that the
word day is a misprint and nonsense.
The analogy between the cats mewing
and dogs baying is self evident and in
telligible.-Kansas City Independent

Japanese lr. ~.

In no country is William Morris
golden rule, "Have nothing about you
but what you know to be useful and
believe to be beautiful" so scrupulous-
~ followed as in Japan. The politeness
Of the Japanese sign Of equality
the politeness of this hierarchical east,
is in surprising contrast with the ag-
gressive rudeness of our democratic
communities. Gentleness and cordial
ity are the japanese rule; no scenes Of
violence The readiness with which Eu-
ropeans fly into a passion stupefies the
Japanese, appears to them to be sign
of innate coarseness. In his considera-
ton for others japanese habitua1ly
refrains from making any show Of his
personal sorrows. Only her vanity has
led Europe to fancy that the japanese
regard western civilization as superior
to their own and that therefore they
are "Europeanizing'' themselves pur-
posely. The western diplomatist who
described modern japan as a dad
translation" of Europe merely shared
the delusion and conceit Of foreigners
generally.-F. Challaye in Revue de
Paris.

One day Howell picked up a treasure

to come and admire it, and Rossett
surreptitiously carried it home with
him and invited the same party to came

happened, he found his way to Rosset

the package and began to carefully re

stopping an Artery.

The prompt application of the tour
niquet or even of the finger to stop the
bleeding Of an artery before the doc
tor comes WIN often save life. A wound
anywhere below the middle of the up
per arm or below the middle of the
thigh may be easily stopped by tour
niquet. The simplest improvised form
Of this implement, which may be al
ways found ready to hand, is linen
handkerchief and a strong stick. The
best place to apply the tourniquet for
a wound of the arm is above the ell
bow, where the pulsations Of an ar
terry may be felt by any one.
The handkerchief should be tied
around Nthe arm rather loosely; the
stick is thrust in and turned to tighten
it until the blood ceases to flow. OF
course this Is only a temporary relief
till the coming Of the doctor, who, in
case Of serious bleeding, must be sum-
moned as soon as possible. When you
have nothing at hand in case Of sud-
den accident even the pressure Of the
forefnger and the thumb over the
wound may arrest the flow Of blood
for the time

n,.marct,. wonaerfu1 Eye..

No one ever came into the presence OF
the chancellor without deep sense Of
the mind power reflected from those
large gray blue orbs. Their flashing
brilliancy and the piercing penetrati ton
of the glances shot from them were
never to be forgotten. They seemed
incapable of expressing affection, and
their steel-Iike hardness only inspired
awe for the towering intellect, the IRE
sisubIe will, the defiant courage, the
fiery energy of their owner. To watch
the lightning changes of expression mir
rored in them, rejecting the strong
emotions evoked by humbled pride,
wounded ambition and thwarted self
ishness, and, above all, by the loss OF
his absolute sway. was indeed an en-
viable privilege. - - ~

Seven Bells.

Everybody who knows anything
about nautical matters understands
the method of keeping time at sea-
eight bells every four hours, an addi-
tional bell being struck for each half
hour.
From 6 to in the evening is the
second dog watch, but on British ships
seven bells Ehalf past . of the second
dog watch are never struck. All other
ships, even the American, strike these
bells.
During the Napoleonic wars there
was a great mutiny in the British
navy. The crews of the fleets lying at
Spithead and the More agreed to rise
simultaneously against their officers.
The signal agreed upon was seven
bells Of the second dog watch. The
mutiny actually began at the arranged
time, but failed, the ringleaders being
executed. Ever since then seven bells
Of the second dog watch has never
been struck on British ships, naval or

MORE Of WHAT DR.. REA IS
DOING IN The STATE.
The Skeptic Left to Won
der, for His Success
Still Continues.

That DR.. Rea is restoring the health
and curing thousands of the afflicted
there is no doubt as hundreds OF reliable
home people will attest. Few Physicians
in the country have had better education
al advantages than he and few have more
thoroughly improved them. He has al.
ways been an ardent student as we'll as
an original investigator, having practiced
his profession in some of the principal
hospitals throughout the United States
and Europe and it is not surprising tina,
he has become grsat specialist. Soor
alter commencing his practice in Louis
vile. KY, some twelve years ago, DR.
Rea WIS led to believe that the import
ant treatment of treating botn acute ano
chronic disease was one that was de
handing unusual attention and the skill
OF Physician who would devote his
whole study and time to that speciality
Impressed with this idea he began ser.
les Of original Investigations which have
resulted in many important discoveries
and brought him an immense practice in
chronic diseases. His success in the line
of special practice has certainly been re.
markabe and in the treatment of man,
chronic diseases unequailed. DR.. Rea
announced to the public in Minneso ta
something over four years ago that he
YOU'D make a series OF northwestern
visits. stopping in the principal cities in
the state. Since that time he has visited
almost every city of importance and in
the meantime has established a perma-
nent Office in Minneapolis where he has
placed some Of the best physicians in Ills
staff at its head. To prove his original
assertions he went to work and is now
treating thousands Of people in the state.
Many are among the wealthiest and most
prominent citizens. Almost every one
speaks OF the immediate relief that gen.
orally attends his system Of treatment.
