cHEsTNUTs CURE CRAVING
Eat Few of the Roasted Variety, and Quell the Craving for
 Liuuor.

There should be less drunkenness at this season of the year than at any other time," said a specialist in nerv- ous disorders who has a private sani- tarium for the treatment of wealthy dipsomaniacs, to Philadelphia Record reporter. ''It is not generally known
 lin fact claim the honor of the discovery-that roasted chestnuts are a good antidote for liquor. The av- craze man who drinks under high nervous pressure, not for the sake of sociability, but because the alcohol stimulates him to greater effort, is the one whose nervous system is most quickly undermined. He may never get drunk, but thers i constant de- mand for overstimulation that works damage in the end. No sooner does the effect of one drunk wear off than there is the craving for another. Now, If that man would eat 8 few roasted chestnuts instead of taking another drink when the feeling comes on him, he would find that the substance of the nuts, having quickly absorbed the liq- uor already in his system, had appre. ciably decreased his longing for more alcoholic stimulant. It isn't a theory; I know 1t to be true"

How to Open. a New Book.

If looks were rightly treated when they are newly bound there would be less likelihood of their backs being broken afterward by rough handling. The covers should be opened one at a time and laid as far back as the table upon which the book is resting; then gradually all the leaves, few at the back and few at the front of the book. should be laid upon the covers. The book will then be in condition for ordinary wear, and the covers will not break away if not abused When called suddenly away from book which you are reading do not lay it face down on g table, nor throw handkerchief be- tween it's leaves, but have a book marker handy and place it between the leaves, closing the book.--N. Y. World.

CANAL BOAT WITH HISTORY
Raising of the ''saucy Sally" Sunk in the Erie Basin Two-Scors
 Years Ago.

The historic old canal boat, the Saucy Sally, was dug up in the Erie basin one day lately where 1t had sunk 46 years ago. says the Kingston
 (N. Y.) Leader. This discovery was made by men who were digging coal and the most interesting thing about the unearthing of the old "hipper, 2 as the canal boats were called, was that one of the men, Cal Johnston was a deckhand on the craft at the time it sunk. There never was more surprised man than Cal Johnston, when the earth covering the old boat was removed. and the name Saucy Sally in faint and almost indiscernible char acters appeared on the bow He shouted and danced and his compan- ions for a time didn't know how to account for his strange gyrations. The Saucy Sally in her time was the best known boat plying the waters of the canal. Canal boat captains from time immemorial have achieved fame for their use of vigorous and ex- pressive English. but it was said of Saucy Sally's captain that he had a longer list of good words than any of his contemporaries. A distin- guished feature about him was thaS he was man of originality and con- ceived his own picturesque expres- sions, scorning the use of the com mon or garden variety With such a captain commanding the respect of all of the canal boat captains, as we'll as the residents of the towns along the canal, attention was. of course, direct ed to the "Saucy Sally" and she ba- came famed. For years the "Saucy Sally" and her captain together trav- eled the length of the canal, until both began to show the signs of age and the wear of the clements. One night as the boat made the silent wa 3ters of the canal, something went wrong, great hole was made in it's bottom and down went "Saucy Sally ,, sinking so deep in the mud that formed the bottom of the canal that 1t was deemed well nigh impossible to raise her. She sank so low that she did not interfere with the passage of other boats, and so she was allowed to remain, and presently it was for gotten that the "sauoy Sally" and her cargo of coal had found a resting place in that bed of mud. Now, nearly q half century after, 1t is found and has started base of stories going of the good old days when Hawley was the center of great canal traffic and the Saucy Sally" calmly followed the peaceful waters.

CORBIN BUFF AL 0ES
A FINE HERD OF THIS GREAT
 AMERICAN ANIMAL.
They Are Confined Within the Finest Fenced Game Preserve in the United States-History
 of the Herd.

AS sit here in my home in the noun tains of New Hampshire, see through my study windows, to tine east, the wondrous blue hills of the Croydon range, stretching away to the north and south as far as the eye can reach. This is the view l have of the Blue Mountain forest, known to many as Corbin park, the largest and finest fenced game preserve in America.
 In this vast inclosure of 24,000 acres there are hundreds of deer and elk and moose, and there are wild boars. too, by hundreds, but what is of far more importance to the people of this coun- try, Is the fact that in this great park is preserved the largest herd of pure bred buffaloes to be found in any in- closure in the world.
 In the year 1890, the late MT. Austin Corbin, who had just fenced his fargo game park near Newport. N H.. estab- lished there herd of about 30 buffalo of the finest stock, with 8 view to pre- serving some of the last survivors of a fast-vanishing race from total extinc- ton. They were taken off the cars at Newport and driven between five and six miles along the country roads to the park, to the great astonishment of many of the farmers, who had never seen buffaloes before.
 The little herd was allowed to roam at will over Croydon mountain and the plains which surround it for seven montha of the year, and during those seven Inonths the animals got their own living, and were no care to any one But the winters in New Hampshire being long and severe, 1t was necessary to feed them on hay during the five remaining months, and as matter of convenience they were yarded during these months in smaller inclosures, near the barns where the hay was stored. All went we'll with them until 1896, when the herd had increased to 75, and it was de- cided to ship 25 head to Van Cortlandt park, New York. Owing to bad man. agement these 25 became so diseased that they either died or had to be shot This constituted the most severe setback which the herd has ever sustained. The 50 which were left In New Hampshire

A LESSON iN LANGUAGE. Lawyer Asked for "Bones" and Got
 Them in the Literal Sense.

"A self-respecting lawyer should not indulge in slang" said Attorney Sim con Armstrong, according to the Chica- go Daily News. Tt is unprofessional and sometimes it is likely to lead to mistakes.
 Benjamin Morgan and his landlord were at outs. They had been friendly for q long time, as may be inferred from the fact that the landlord had al- lowed Ben to run in arrears six months rent for his flat. The trouble arose when Ben got dog. The dog proved a nuisance. He began by uprooting the landlords flower beds and destroying some neat little patches of garden in the back yard. Then he howled at night until the landlord threw a paper weight at him. breaking a mirror in q house across the alley. The dog killed the landlords Maltese cat and other incidents arose. Then came the inevitable.
 "Ben Morgan was excited when he entered my office. I want to know. he remarked, If a landlord has the right to poison his tenants dog in cold blood? And I also want to know If a landlord, after poisoning his tenants dog, has right to burn the poor ami malls body in the alleyy'
 "Now, a man who hasn't paid his landlord for six months isn't likely to be in a hurry paying his lawyer. Bring me five bones" MT. Morgan I said, and I'll see what can do in the case
 "Tll do that gladly, and I'll bring you more than i've he replied, and de- parted
 "Now, T. thought everybody knew that a bone was a dollar. However, next day Ben returned carrying sack whose contents he dumped on the floor of my office.
 " There's the bones, he said, tri- umphantly, and good strong proof they are of the way that villain of a landlord of mine treated my poor dog
 "They were bones, indeed; the black, calcined bones of his departed dog.
 Ben said. these are bones, sure enough, but not the kind that are nec- essary in a lawsuit. Youll have to try again.

For upland hopes, green spaces wide.
