A Home Thrust.

There is good story told about the
late Henry Bergh. While walking
about the streets of New York city one
morning he saw teamster whipping a
balky horse.

"or I'll have you locked up inside Of

II b'lieve ye're right, sor," replied
the teamster, quick witted Irishman,

not bad man at heart, "an' if a harse

The stern face Of Mr.. Bergh relaxed

Applied Science.

When James Russell Lowell was
minister to England, he was guest at
a banquet at which one of the speak
ers was Sir Frederick Bramwell. Sir
Frederick was to respond to the toast
"Applied Science" 1t was long after
midnight when the toast was pro.
posed, and several speakers were still
to be called. Rising in his place, the
scientist said:
AT this hour of the night, or, rather
OF the morning, my only interest in ap.
Piled science is to apply the tip of the
match to the side of the box upon
which alone it ignites and to apply the
flame so obtained to the wick of a bed.
room candle"
A moment later Lowell tossed a pa.
per across the table to him bearing
these two lines:
Oh. brief Sir Frederick, would that all
could catch
Your happy talent and supply your match

What q Lie Did.

The madness Of suicide as a relief
from mental anguish was wildly illus
trated years ago by an incident which
occurred in an Italian town. Moretti,
tailor, was sent to prison on charge
Of fraud. His sweetheart called upon
the police officer to ask how long Mo-
reth was likely to be confined and was
told that it would, be probably for
many years. The policeman had been
1nstigated to say this by the girls
mother, who disliked the match. over
whelmed WITH grief and thereby driven
to despair, the poor girl put an end to
her life by poison. A few days later
Moretd was released from custody,
the accusation against him having
been proved false. He returned home
to find his afaanced bride a corpse.
Frenzied at he sight, he, too, destroy
ed himself. The lie wrought a double
tragedy.

A Pair of Miaera.

Mr.. and Miss Dancer were reputed
the most notorious misers in the eight
eenth century. The manner in which
this couple were found after death to
have disposed of their wealth was even
more strange than could have been
their method of acquiring it. The total
value was 100000, which was thus dis:
posed Of: Two thousand five hundred
pounds was found under a dunghill,
$500 in an old coat nailed to the man
ger in the stable, 5000 in notes was
hidden away in an old teapot, the
chimney yielded $4,000 slowed in nine
teen different crevices, and several
jugs filed with coin were secreted in
the stable loft.

HEROIC REMEDIES.
| Whipping Was Prescribed at One
Time For Insanity and Fits.

whipping was Prescribed at one
Time For Insanity and Fits.
III health is a bad thing at any time,
but $50 years ago it was made more
terrible by the remedies in use. Blood
letting, of course, was simple affair.
A writer in Macmillan's Magazine says
that everybody was bled twice a year
in the spring and autumn. The bar
bers were the surgeons and, like wise
men, adapted their prices to their pa
tents.
A gentleman who so INDUCED him.
self as to go to bed to be bled was
charged half a crown and his fine lady
half a sovereign. Certain days were
unlucky for bloodletting, and nothing
would induce the BARRIERS to operate
on these occasions. Serious diseases
seem to have been beyond the medical
skill of the day. Villages and towns
simply drove out the infected from
their midst
Among remedies herbs Of course
played great part. "For salves," runs
an old notebook which had a great
vogue, "the country parsons wife
seeks not the city and prefers her gar
den and fields before all outlandish
gums" Sage was held very great
medicine. 1t was even asked in Latin,
''Why should any one die who has sage
in his garden?' If any one had a dis
ease of the mouth, the Eighth Psalm
should be read for three days, seven
times on each day. AS a remedy it
was sovereign"
For insanity or fits whipping was
prescribed. Little wonder that NOR
tality was great. In old days in Wes-
sex, England, persons with infectious
diseases were confined in the lookup,
and whipping was deemed too good for
them. Should the sick be loud in la
ment, the Waterman kept them quiet by
this popular discipline, and one town
has upon it's records, "Paid T. Haw-
kins for whipping two people that had
the smallpox eightpence"
Fortunately the spirit of this age is
different from that.

WHAT MExIcANS EAT.
Grease Plays an Important Part In
Their Rich Dishes.


The farther south one goes the
more important part meat seems to
play in the diet. In old Mexico the
people Of the upper class lave highly
seasoned roasts and steaks and game
three times every day. The roasts
are stuffed with raisins, and rich
Drown gravy is poured over them.
Grease seems more indispensable to
them than to the fur enveloped Es-
klmos. There are no broiled steaks,
Dut in their place one is served with
a half raw piece of tenderloin reek-
ing with grease and peculiarly favored
herbs. In that balmy cline, where
the system would be so much better
on without any meats, thousands of
steaks are sold daily at 45 and 50 cents
pound. The poorer classes are forced
to abstain from such and live on the
coarse frijole beans and cold clammy
tortlllas which are thin white corn
cakes made from rye hominy crushed
TO pulp. This forms their UNMARRIED
diet On the aristocrats' tables are the
most delicious fruits, chiramoyas,
zlpotes, mangoes and others which
Americans have never tasted. The
popular aguacate is a cross between
a fruit and nut. 1t is a dark green
and the flesh is about the consistency
OF ointment. 1t grows OF tree of
unparalleled dark green foliage and is
used often in the place of butter or
is made into toothsome salad.
Rich soups, with bananas chopped in
them, are served every day, and vege-
tables dressed with goats cream are
on their tables. At every meal during
the year they eat the frijole beans,
Which have been dipped into a brown
pottery bowl of boiling lard before
they are brought to the table. The
Mexicans eat enough lard to under
mine the digestion of the stoutest be-
ing. Sirup is great delicacy and
very expensive. 1t is served as a sort
OF dessert in little china saucers and
is eaten from spoons. Little bits Of
native candies are also served in sepa-
rate plates.-Farm and Ranch.

Tailor Takes the Artist to Task

A we'll formed, good looking man,

high class tailor would make for him.
would compare favorably with any
Greek Of old, logged in his best. But
neither sculptor nor painter can make
so pleasing representation of the man
in close fitting clothes as he can of
the man in flowing robes, not because
the clothes are unhandsome, nor be-
cause they are unbecoming to the
wearer, but because the artist pre-
sumptuously thinks the tailor who
made the clothes did not know his
business, and does not think it worth
While even to try to represent them

STAGE LIGHTS.
Their Various Uses and the Names
by Which They Are Known.

Lights play an important part on
the stage of the modern theater, and
they have many uses. The spot light,
for instance, is employed to cast cir
Gle OF light upon the stage where sin
gle person Is to be brought into espe-
cial prominence. It consists of an arc
electric light inclosed in cylindrical
hood about the diameter of a stove
pipe and provided at the open end
with a condenser lens for the purpose
of concentrating the rays upon a small
area.
A flood light is an arc in a rectangu-
lar box painted white upon the inside
to serve as reflector. 1t is supposed
to flood the stage with light; hence it's
name.
Bunch lights are clusters of gas or
1ncandescent lights either arranged
within a reflector or exposed naked.
They are used back of a scene behind
doorWays, where light is needed off
the stage to represent the illumina-
ton of that part of a dwelling not
shown. For the same purpose "strip''
lights are used-rows of incandescent
fights fastened to strip of wood pro-
vided with a hook, by which it may
be hung to the back of scene when
required
"Side" lights are incandescent lights
arranged on either side of the prosce-
mum arch. Sometimes they are built
within the arch or they are arranged
to be swung outward when the cur
tain is raised.
The footlights are familiar to all,
and the 'border'' lights are those hung
over the stage directly above the seen
cry, shutting off the top of the stage.
These are arranged in trough like an
inverted 'U'' to cast their light down
upon the stage. These are practically
all of the lights used upon the stage of
house, though magic lanterns are
employed at times for the stimulation
of water effects, moonlight ripples and
lightning. The old fashioned calcium,
using the oxyhydrogen gas, is so sell
dom employed in the modern theater
as to call for no comment.

FAMOUS FOR FAT.
Daniel Lambert, Who Died In 1900,
Got Too Obese to Wabble.

Got Too obese to Wabble.
The fame Of Daniel Lambert as
champion among fat men in England,
If not in the world, still remains un-
rivaled. Daniel was born at Leicester
in ITO and died in 1909 at Stamford
The grandson of celebrated cock
fighter and addicted to sport through
out his life, his dimensions were not
extraordinary, and his habits were not
different from those of other lads I'M
til he was fourteen years old. When
twenty-three years Of age, however, he
turned the scale at thirty two stone,
and, although he is recorded to have
= been then able to walk from Woolwich
to London, at the time of his death, in
his fOrtieth year, he had attained the
prOdigiOuS weight Of fifty-tWO stone, or
72S pounds, and was more or less help
less. He was a modest man, and when
he had achieved physical greatness
fame was thrust upon him. He was
for long time unwilling to be made
q show Of, but he gained more than
local reputation, and people travelled
from far to see him, resorting to vari-
GUS devices in order to be allowed to
do so. At length the prospect of profit
overcame his resolution, and for four
years before his death he exhibited
himself in London and in the PROV
inces.
He was apparently a man of some
wit, for once, before he permitted the
public to gaze upon him, an inquisitive
person had gained access to his pres
ence by pretending to be fellow
sportsman interested in the pedigree Of
a mare, whereupon Lambert promptly
replied, "She was bred by Impertinence
out of Curiosity" Before the days of
Daniel Lambert, Edward Bright Of
Maiden was we'll known fat man, al
though his name no longer fingers as
a household word. He died in 1850 at
the age of thirty years, weighing forty
TWO stone and seven pounds, and is
stated to have been an active man till
a year or two before his death, when
his corpulency so overpowered his
strength that his life was a burden and
his death a deliverance Both Bright
and Lambert seem to have been genial,
good humOred fellows and very popular
among those who visited them. In
deed popularity seems to be the lot Of
the corpulent in fact as we'll as in fic-
ton. The heroes of fiction, however,
have the advantage in the matter Of
lasting glory, and the names of Daniel
Lambert and the fat boy of Peckham
sink into insignifcance beside those Of
Falstaf and the fat boy in ''Pickwick."
