''NIy wife taught me something the other night that isn't down in the med ical books" said Stock Exchange man. "we had some peppery tomato soup for dinner. 1 was hungry and l suppose I was trying to eat too fast. At any rate I got some of the soup In my windpipe and commenced to strangle. coughed and cOughed, and drank about two glasses of water. Still I coughed.
 "Take another spoonful of soup said my wife.
 "Not for mine l said. I choked on that once and I'll wait until this burning gets out of my throat
 "She insisted, however, telling me 1t would cure the irritation. Just for luck made the attempt and the effect was magical, for the irritation disap- peared immediately. My self appoint ed physician told me also that to cure that choking sensation you must take some more of the very liquid on which you strangled. She said 1t was espe- cially efficacious in the case of a strong acid like lemon. How is that for housewife remedy for common com plaintY'-New York Press.

WELL DONE

The people of the city of SkagWsy are to be congratulated because of the action of the city council last night ln determining to install water system in this city, to be owned and operated by the city, that will furnish ample hre protection and that will give them a service for l2 months in the year.
 The happy cousummatiOn of this vex- ing problem is one that will count to the everlasting credit of all those who have hsd anything to do with it. It IS 10 the credit of Councilman Wolland' whose idea, that a city owned water system provided the solution of the dI- lemma which has confronted the city, started the wheels in motion; It Is 70 the credit of the chamber of commerce and the activity of J. J. Daly, the pres idsnt of that body, and the members or his committee who have labored so earnestly toward the end that is now in sight: it is to the credit of those clti- zens vEo came to the front with the guarantee of the money to pay for the material to be used; to the credit of the railroad company for the extremely generous offer to furnish its pump tank and the connections and to do the pump ing at the bare cost, which will oe much less than the city could do the work for, and it is to the credit or Chairman Van Cleve, of the select council committee, and the other mem bers of that committee and to each and every member of the city council, all ot whom have done so much toward max ing the plans a success.
 It is now the duty of the citizens taxpayers and others to grant all the aid within their power and to uphold the council and the others immediately ID charge of the proposed work in every way possible.

Let us have free trade in North America and put an end to this inter- minsbIe iuing of American and Cana dian ships by the customs officers oi both countries. The customs regula- tious are relics of barbarism and only necessary with one country because the other has them It is time that peo- ples with the intelligence and enight- enment possessed by Americans and Canadians should not hamper trade and and commerce with unnatural and un' necessary burdens.

A sIxtus V. Salad.

When Pope SiXtus V. was an oO-
 scure monk he had a great friend in a
 certain lawyer who sank steadily Into poverty while the monk rose to the papacy. The poor lawyer journeyed to Rome to seek aid from his old friend the pope. but he fell sick and told his doctor to let the pope know of his sad state. q will send him a salad, said sixtus. and duly dispatched basket of lettuce to the invalid. When the lettuce was examined money was found in the hearts. Hence the Italian proverb of a man in need of money, aHe wants one of Sixtus Y.'s salads" !"

No Korean couple would think of marrying without consulting the sage, who fixes the happy day for them. This he does simply by adding the brides age to the bridegroom's, and, after determining which star rules the destiny of their united ages, he decrees that the wedding shall take place upon the day sacred to that star.
