OPPOSED TO ELF-HEALING.-Little
Paul's grandfather Is physician and
in PauPs eyes he is the greatest hero
that walks on earth. Recently the
doctor resolved to take trip to Eu-
rope for the benefit of his health.
Paul was almost frantic to think that
he was to be separated from his idol,
and tried by every means within his
power to dissuade his grandfather
from going.
"I don't see why you need to go away
for your health, grandpa; you're a
doctor!"
"Well, Paul." replied the old man, 1T
is because I am a doctor that 1 know
what Is best for my health. AS doc
tor have examined myself and found
that I need a rest and change. / have
advised myself to take an ocean voy-
age, and when a physician tells you
what is best for you, you ought to
obey his instructions, or else what is
the use of doctors"
Paul sadly pondered over this weigh
ty argument for few moments, ana
then his face lighted up and he said
eagerly:
"Why don't you try another DOCTOR

THE NEEDLES EYE.
Strange Story of How the Sewing
Machine Riddle Was Solved.


Machine Riddle Was Solved.
Elias Howe almost beggared him
self before he discovered where the
eye of the needle Of a sewing machine
should be located. His original idea
was to follow the model Of the ordi-
nary needle and have the eye at the
heel. 1t never occurred to him that
1t should be placed near the point,
and he might have failed altogether
il he had not dreamed he was build
ing a sewing machine for a savage
king in a strange country. Just as
in his actual waking experience, he
was rather perplexed about the need
les eye. He thought the king gave
him twenty-four hours to complete
the machine and make 1t sew. II
not finished in that time death was
to be the punishment.
Howe worked and worked and puz-
zled and puzzled and finally gave 1t
up. Then he thought he was taken
out to be executed. He noticed that
the warriors carried spears that were
pierced near the head. Instantly
came the solution Of the difficulty,
and while the inventor was begging
for time he awoke. It was o'clock
in the morning. He jumped out of
bed, ran to his workshop, and by 9
a needle with an eye at the point
had been rudely modelled. After that
1t was easy. This is the true story
Of an important incident in the in
yention of the sewing machine.

MANS FoRGETFULNEss.-A minister's
wife, a doctors wife, and a travelling
mans wife met at a social gathering
recently, and the conversation turned
on the forgetfulness Of husbands.
II think" said the minister's wife,
that my husband is the most forget
full man living. He will go to church
sometimes and forget his notes and
no one can tell what he is preaching
about"
THAT is nothing In comparison to
my husband" said the doctors wife,
"for he will often travel miles into the
country to see a patient and forget his
medicine case"
Neither of your husbands can hold
a candle to mine," said the. travelling
mans wife. "for when he returned
from a trip last week he patted me on
the cheek and said: II believe 1 have
seen you before, what Is your name?''

FORCED CoNFEssIoN.-The late
Mary A. Livermore was a shrewd wo-
man who believed in fighting the dev-
II with fire" She was converted to
this idea by the example of an old
friend, a clergyman. With a solemn
air he announced from the pulpit one
day that a button had been found in
the collection. "Only one individual
in the church could have been guilty
Of the trick" he said, land l shall ex-
pect a coin."
After service a member Of the
church owned up to being the culprit,
and asked, How did you know 1 was
the man."
II did not know" said the clergyman.
But you said only one person could
have done it."
Just So" was the reply. Two per-
sons could not have put the same but
ton on the plate"

Honesty PAYs.-They were at Monte
Carlo, and like other visitors to that
insidous paradise, they considered the
Casino was a place which ought to be
visited, says Tit Bits. They stood hes
itating before one of the tables and at
last the temptation to join the players
proved too strong for the lady.
Il must just risk one 500 BILL" she
said to her husband. Give me one,
darling, and l will put 1t on the num-
ber of my age. That is sure to be
lucky"
Hubby was inclined to be skeptical;
but, of course, he might have spared
himself the trouble of grumbling, and
the money was duly deposited on No.
"a
Alas! No. SO proved to be the win
ming numeral, and the lady gave lit
tie gasp of despair.
Served you right" said her great
brute of husband. IF you'd told the
truth you'd have won."

WASTED MATERIAL.-A little lady
she had seen but four rosy summers
was taking a walk up Fifth avenue
early in the morning recently with her
mother, and as the two sauntered
along, hand in hand. the attention of
the child was attracted to an ash-bar-
rel which had not been emptied by
the street-cleaning man, and on which
was a full-sized cat, asleep, basking in
the sunshine. The little girl faltered
In her walk and for a few seconds
looked interestedly at the pussy lying
asleep. Through her mind probably
were running the thoughts that any
thing which found its way to the re-
fuse can was Of no value.
What Is 1t daughter; what are you
thinking about?" asked the mother.

there is a perfectly good cat in that
ash barrel; why do they throw it

APPRECIATIvE PAT.-Pat had occa-
sion to pay a visit to the parish priest
says the Argonaut. The host brought
a bottle of benedictine. and filling a
liquor glass reminded his guest that
the wine was made by the holy monks
ITO get the full flavor" he said. I'll
should not be swallowed at once: but
slipped slowly" Pat caught up the tiny
glass. looked at it for a moment, and
then slipped the cordial as directed
When he had finished Pat placed the
glass on the table with a look of sat
isfaction on his face.
And what do you think of the bene-
dictine?" asked the good priest.
"Blessin's on the holy monks who
made that stuff; but the devil fly away
with the man that invinted the glass,
answered Pat.
