rejected Engine. of War.

Certain engines of war have been re-
jected by civilized nations in times
gone by because they were too de-
structive and too horrible. England has
still in keeping secret war plan of the
tenth Earl of Dundonald which the au-
thorities rejected because. while it was
infallible, it was too inhuman to use by
man against man. Even Louis XIV. of
France had backbone enough to refuse
Dupre's terrible invention. If the story
of this discovery be true the plan was
to create by a secret process confia-
grafton whose intensity was but in
creased by water. 1t would burn town
or fleet. Louis refused to have the Sc
cret published, and it went down to the
grave with Dupre.

REMINDED HIM OF HOME.
Kansan Think He Was Back
on the Farm.

A Kansan crossing the Atlantic in rough
weather went out on, deck when a big
gale was blowing. Nobody was in sight
except the captain, relates the Kansas
City journal.
60 below there" the captain shouted.
The passenger looked around to see
whom he was talking to-,
"HOu mean me?" he yelled back when
he saw there was no one else in sight.
"Of course | do; go below" and the
captainP came alongside.
"Well, | guess not" protested the Kan
san. Pm up here to see how one of
your mountain-high waves and terrific
gales compare with what we have in Kan
sas in the way of cyclones. This amt
patch to what, I've seen out our way"
A big wave broke over the deck, sweep
ing the Kansan aft. They picked him up
with a broken leg. a twisted shoulder, a
epraned wrist. and his face looked as if
il had been dragged backward through
a briar patch. When he came to be saw
the captain.
"By gravy, cap" he said, feebly, chat
reminded me. of home, only it was dern
sight wetter."

DIDN'T MARRY THE COOK.
Luncher in Love with Pie Wanted
to Secure the Maker
Thereof.

'By goshl this is fine pie; the kind
that mother used to malle!" gleefully eX-
claimed the tall, lank easterner standing
before the lunch counter, as he put away
his third portion, when the train stopped
l. minutes for refreshments at a little
station in the far west. Let me have
another piece of that apple pie, waiter.
It's all right, you can bet!" he drawled,
with feeling of deep satisfaction.
After he had disposed of the fourth
slice says the New York Times, the New
Highlander turned to the waiter and said:
Say, boss, that was the best pie I've
eaten since | left home. l swore I'd
never get married. But, by gosh! anyone
that can make pie like that can be my
wife Bring, on the cook, and, by Heavens!
Ill marry her."
"Do you mean it?' asked the waiter,
with twinkle in his eye.
Every word of it, answered the pie
enthusiast
The waiter disappeared into the kitchen,
returning a minute later leading a slant,
eyed and pig.tailed Chinaman with a
bland smile upon his face. This is tine
cook. boss he said. Its up to you"
Amid the roar of laughter from the
other passengers the poor New Englander
rushed back to the train.

THE PRINCE OF BUTLERS.
His Resourcefulness Saved His Mis-
tress in an Awkward
Situation.

Tho late Thomas Coldwell, the inventor
of the lawn mower, was great admirer
oil witty and alert pelsons.
At dinner in New York Mr.. Coldwell
said oil a famous millionaire:
This man, through hard luck, once
had to work as butler. He made an ex-
cellent butler. Let me give you an in
stance of the sort of work he did.
"His mistress was giving dinner party
of II covers on certain evening. One
of the courses consisted of scaloped oy-
sters il silver shells. The set of silver
shells was broken-there were only IL.
The mistress, therefore, told the butler
that she would not eat any oysters, and
thus there would be just enough to go
around.
"The butler, when the oyster course
came, placed before the lady one of the
shells. To his horror, she did not de-
cline it. Calmly she let it rest before
her. If she started to eat it, one guest
would be short of oysters. What was
the matter with her, anyhow?
The butler watched her nervously. She
took up her fork. She was actually about
TO plunge it into the dainty she'll. Then
the man, ever alert and ready, flew to her
side and bent over her respectfully:
Pardon me, madam he murmured
but you said | was to remind you that
the doctor forbade your eating oysterds
on auy account"

however before they were caught in a
swift current and swept into some
bushes, in the overhanging branches of
which they were caught, and lost their
raft, themselves narrowly escaping
drowning.
Tired, wet, hungry and disheartened,
in heavy rain they mushed it through
a marsh, and at length came to a lake.
Thinking to find some outlet, they
tramped around the water, only to find
that it was small body.
By this time Seymour's companion
was thoroughly disheartened, and fell
in his tracks. The pair held consul
tation, and it was decided that Seymour
should so on alone, in the hope of reach
ing the destination, and, if successful,
should return and bring help for his
companion. Undaunted Seymour con-
tinued on his way, blazing trail as he
went through the trackless forest. For
half a day he tramped, but without sue
cess.
When night fell he returned to his
companion, and together they lay down
in the rain under the trees and slept for
the first time in three days. The sun was
well up when they awoke. Gathering
some wood, they made a fire and dried
out their clothes, and then roasted some
roots they had found. They had caught
some rain water in their cups, and this
with the roots constituted their break
fast.
Strengthened by their sleep, they
started out together on their fourth
days tramp. Taking their bearings,
they followed the direction in which they
believed the Hootalinqua lay, and final
y came to a river. Swimming this,
they came to hill, from the summit of
which they saw their goal in the dis
tance, The sight gave them new heart,
and they Immediately set out for the
stream.
After tramp of several hours down
the banks the men came upon a scow.
which they appropriated, and on which
they fioated down to "Hundred-Mile"
cabin.

HONEST PHYSICIAN
Works with Himself First.

1t is mistake to assume that physi-
clans are always skeptical as to the
curative properties of anything else
than drugs.
- Indeed, the best doctors are those
who seek to heal with as little use of
drugs as possible and by the use of
correct food and drink. A physician
writes from Calf. to tell how he made
well man of himself with Natures
remedy:
Before l came from Europe, where
was born," he says, at was my Gus,
tom to take coffee with milk (cafe au
lait) with my morning meal, a small
cup (cafe noir) after my dinner and
two or three additional small cups at
my club during the evening.
"In time nervous symptoms devel-
oped, with pains in the cardiac region,
and accompanied by great depression
of spirits, despondency-in brief, the
blues!' l at first tired medicines, but
got no relief and at last realized that
all my troubles were caused by coffee
1 thereupon quit its use forthwith,
substituting English Breakfast Tea.
"The tea seemed to help me at first,
but in time the old distressing symp-
toms returned. and l quit 1t also, and
tried to use milk for my table bever-
age. This was compelled however to
abandon speedily for while 1t relieved
the nervousness somewhat, it brought
on constipation. Then by happy
inspiration l was led to try the Postum
Food Coffee. This was some months
ago and still use it. am no longer
nervous, nor do I suffer from the
pains about the heart, while my blues
have left me and life is bright to me
once more. know that leaving off
coffee and using Postum healed me,
and make 1t rule to advise my pa
tients to use it," Name given by

Superstitions in Trifies.

Fishermen are, many of them, re-
markably superstitious. For instance,
IN some fishing boats whistling is
forbidden, and neither milk nor burnt
bread as allowed on board. Even the
name of that unlucky animal, the
hare, may not be mentioned, and a
common method of furnishing an
enemy is to throw dead hare into
his boat Some fishermen believe in
luck attending an odd-numbered crew,
but the good fortune will be neutral
ised should one of the number have
red hair.
