The Vineaar Habit Hard TO Cure.

"One of the most difficult habits
to cure is that of drinking vinegar
said New York doctor. "a good
many women drink vinegar for the
complexion, and in some cases it
creates a craving for it even more
insatiate than that for liquor. As the
habit grows the victim is no longer
contented with ordinary vinegar,
but demands it stronger and stron-
ger until she drinks acetic acid with
very little dilution. 1t burns out the
stomach within a very few years,
and it is seldom that vinegar iiend
lives even until middle age. 1t can
be detected by the peculiar pallor of
the countenance, but no antidote
has ever been discovered by which
the habit can be cured"

The Fourth Finuer.

The wedding ring is almost inva-
riably placed on the fourth finger of
the left hand and all because many
centuries ago the Egyptians believed
that a certain small artery proceed
cd directly from the heart to the ter
mination Of that digit. In the AT
tick Nights" we read: THE motion
of this artery may be felt by touch
ing this finger to the pulse, it being
IN index in cases of sickness or
where persons are weary or oyerla-
bored, always informing when the
heart is overburdened or offended" :
Farther on in the same article he
saws; This finger really hath govt
on account of the sympathy and
ncighborhood it hath with the heart.
1t is the first finger that newborn
babe is able to move and the last of
which the dying man loscth control.
1t is also the one last to swell when
the vital heat is abaling in one that
is passing over"

The Eyes.

The eyes can be greatly strength
ened by putting the face down into
a glass or eyecup of water the first
thing in the morning and opening
them under water. This is difficult
v do at first, but if the water for
two or three days be tcpid and grad
ually be made colder by impercepti-
bic degrees until it is no shock to put
the face into quite cold water it will
soon become easy, and is invigorat-
ing and refreshing. The eyes
should be wiped after this by pass
ing soft towel gently from the
outer angle inward toward the nose.

Romans Set tho Gauge.

Ancient Rome is responsible for
the gauge of our railway tracks, for
Stephenson, when he invented the
locomotive, decided upon the space
between the Width of the ruts made
by the old Roman chariots, explain
ing that he did not believe that he
could improve upon the experience
of a power such as Rome had been.
Every standard gauge road the
world over is built upon these meas
urements, which have been found as
satisfactory now as when Nero rolled
through the streets of Rome with
the wheels of his chariot the same
distance apart as are those of the
modern railway train.

Tho Vital Question.

The teacher of the class in history
was describing to the children the
opening of some of the ancient
tombs in Egypt and enumerating
several of the interesting antiquities
therein discovered.
"To show you how wonderfully
many Of those things have been pre-
served" she said, 81 may mention
that in one Of the oldest of those
tombs a jar Of honey was found. 1t
could not have been less than 1000
or 5000 years old, and yet in that
jar of honey was flea in perfect
preservation"
"Was it alive7" asked one of the
little girls, with a breathless interest
not entirely unmixed with alarm.

an outsider TO even guess at his in

rule which he tries to carry out and
thinks he succeeds, although he new
err has been able to carry it out ex-
actlv in his whole career. He tries
to estimate the time he spends on
each case and to charge accordingly,
/ gradually increasing his fee as his
time has grown more valuable. An
other LAWYER considers how the work
is done. If it is done in great hur-
nv, forcing him to drop other cases
and to work at night as well as dur

charges much more than for case

to find an appropriate way of pro-
posing to the object of his alice

through the park when the subject
of conversation drifted to a review

of the fact that she was older than

The Headless Charger.

In connection with old Admiral
Jaureguiberry a writer remembers a
curious incident. At the fight of st.
Jean-sur-Erve, during the retreat on
Laval, the admiral was galloping
along the front, his tall bony figure
erect, his long gray side whiskers
streaming in the wind. when some
fragments of an exploding shell alb
solutelv decapitated his horse, which
nevertheless galloped on quite forty
yards before it fell. the admiral
meanwhile retaining his seat UNI
moved, though he protited by the
respite to free his feet from the stir
rups in such a way that as the horse
collapsed he easily alighted. His on
ly comment in response to the con-
gratulations he received on his es-
cape was very characteristic. "Some
people imagine" said he, that sail
ors cannot ride. Dundee Adver-
