Art by the Ton.

An American city once asked Mac
Monnies, the sculptor, to enter a design
for army and navy groups for sol
diers' and sailors monument He de-.
clined to compete. Then the commits
sion was rendered to him outright. He
submitted sketches of his idea for the
groups. The committee in charge of
the monument wrote him, asking
"How many tons of granite do you in
tend to use in the base?" HIS reply
was: IF you are in the business of
buying granite you may use as much
as you want, one ton or 100000 tons.
l am an artist, and l never yet heard
of art being bought by the pound"
The question was dropped until the
contract for the commission was
drawn. When Mr.. MacMonnies re
ceived it he discovered in it clause
providing that in case the bronzes were
ever thrown down from their base, by
any cause whatever, and any person
or property should be injured, he and
his heirs forever should be liable fol
the damage sustained. He returned
the contract without comment, unsign-
ed. When the committee wrote him.
asking the reason, his brief reply was
"Your lawyers are too sharp."-World's Is
Work.

Peasant and Pigs.

A clever smuggling trick has been
played on customs officer on the
Russo German frontier. An innocent
looking peasant reported to the officer
a plot for getting a large number of
pigs across the frontier. The method,
he said, would be to drive across at in.
tervals of half an hour, 8, 6, u and 200
pigs, the smugglers arguing that if the
first three lots could he sent over there
would be no trouble with the 200
The officer was naturally on the alert
In accordance with the peasants state
ment three pigs were driven over, then
six, followed by twelve. All were al
lowed to pass, and preparations were
made to receive the 200. But no more
pigs appeared, and the twenty-one ami
mails admitted had in the meantime
been lodged in safety-Berlin Cor

The African Drum.

The African drum appears in varied
and often picturesque forms. The ma
tives make drums out of shells, tree
trunks or earthenware, covered with
the skin OF some wild animal or some
times with india rubber. OF the origi-
nal calabash drums there is probably
only one specimen in Europe. Some Of
the drums are highly ornamented
either by painting or carving. One
specimen, indeed, has puzzled travellers,
for there is depicted on it unnistaka-
bly, cross and also head of European
type. A drum found in upper Lualaha
has a unique popularity in the way of
a sympathetic cord," formed by means
Of small tube ingeniously inserted in
the side of the instrument, which
causes, when the drum is beaten, a vi
bration resembling that Of the reed
pipe.-Southern Workman.

Too Curious.

One we'll known New York woman
has discovered, like some others of her
sex, that it does not pay to be too curl
Gus. One of the old family retainers is
a ScotchmRn named William, who does
not believe in CLOSING over the truth
for the sake of sparing his listeners
feelings. The woman in question, al
though possessed of considerable charm
of manner, is not beauty and knows
it. Her husband, recently deceased,
was remarkably handsome man, and
his wife was one of his sincerest ad-
mirers. One day when she was looking
at her husbands picture on the mantel
in the sitting room William was fuss
ing around the CRATE, and in a moment
of impulse she asked:
William, what do you think made
such handsome man as Colonel S.
marry such plain woman as me?"
William looked from the portrait to
the speaker, meditated a second and
answered.:
"Must have been heavens will,
ma'am'

The Ruling Passion Strong In Death,

The Ruling Passion Strong In Death
The ruling passion of Edward l. OF
England was undoubtedly the pursuit
of his ideal of uniting all the British
islands under one rule. His great OBJ
stacle was Scotland, and the conquest
of Scotland, therefore, became Il pas
sion with him. Stronger than years, il
sent him to the head of the army wher
he was fit only for sick bed, and
when he was at last compelled to
yield he sought to make this passion
spur on his son by ordering that the
flesh should be boiled from his bones
and that his skeleton should be car
ried at the head of the army and re
main unburied till Scotland was cOn-
quered.
This is the most conspicuous instance
of ''the ruling passion strong in death"
on record, though many others would
be worthy of quotation. William Pitts
patriotism endured to his last gasp and
inspired his last utterance, as did Mel
sons lifelong determination TO secure
the command of the sea, while Napo
Icons last dream was one of battle.

Toughness of thu ANT.

Ants are really very long lived, con
sidering their minuteness. Janet had
two queens under observation for ten
years, and one Of Sir John Lubbock's
ant pets lived into her fifteenth year.
Ants are very tenacious Of life after
severe injury Following loss of the
entire abdomen, they sometimes live
two weeks, and in one case headless
ant, carefully decapitated by aseptic
surgery, lired for forty-one days. A
carpenter ant after being submerged
eight days in distilled water came to
life upon being dried, so that ants are
practically proof against drowning.
They can live for long periods without
food. In one case the fast lasted near
ly nine months before the ant starved
to death.-Scientific American.

WOnIy Me;'s

There may be world Of pathos and
even of rebuke in a very few words,

Sweet" as she called her, had every
care and attention lavished upon her,
and good natured neglect was more or
less the portion of the elder.

Dice From Billiard Balls.

what becomes of the wornout bill,
lard balls?" said an idler in a billiard
room.
"Well," the man at the desk replied,
''when ball is only little off it is
sent to the factory to be trued up. We
get our balls trued up until they be-
come too small for use. Then we sell
them at so much per ounce.
"After their sale they are carved into
various small trinkets, but in the main
they are made into dice. OF the forty
OF fifty balls rolling and clicking bust

that 80 per cent of them a few years

Ancient Remedies For Hiccoughs.

The hiccough seems to be a modern
and dangerous disease, but the ancients
knew it and prescribed remedies that
might now be tried advantageously.
Galen recommended sneezing; Aetius
approved of cupping instrument with
great heat to the breast; Alexander be-
lieved in an oxymel of squills; Alsaha-
ravius made use of refrigerant drafts;
Rhases put his trust in calefacients,
such as cumin, pepper, rue and the
like, in vinegar; Rogerius looked kindly
on calefacient, attenuant and carmina-
tive medicines.

Rudimentary Hind Limbs.

Snakes are not the only animals
which exhibit the possession of rudi-
mentary hind limbs. In the whale
tribe there is no evidence externally of
hind limbs. The fore limbs in them
are converted into the ''fiippers," or
swimming paddles. Yet when the skel-
eton is examined traces of a haunch
and attached rudimentary thigh bones
are found. There is developed in GER
tain kinds Of whales bony piece rep
resenting the haunch. The thigh bone
is distinct, but there is mere rudi-
ment attached to it, representing the
shin bone or tibia of other ahimals.

NO MAN IS STRONGER THAN
HIS STOMACH:

Lot the greatest athlete have dyspepsia
and his muscles would soon fail. Physi
cal strength is derived from food. If
man has insufficient food he loses strength.
If he has no food he dies Food is con-
Verted into nutrition through the stom-
ach and bowels. 1t depends on the
strength of the stomach to what extent
food eaten is digeSted and assimilated.
People can die of starvation who have
abundant food to eat, when the stomach
and its associate organs of digestion and
nutrition do not perform their duty.
Thus the stomach is really the vital or
gan of the body. If the stomach isuweall"
the body will be weak also, because it is
upon tho stomach the body relies for it's
strength. And as the body, considered as
a whole, is made up of its several MEM
bers and organs. so the weakness of the
body as a consequence of rweak" stom
ach will be distributed among the or
gans which compose the body. If the
body is weak because it is ill-nourished
that physical weakness will be found in
all the organs-heart, liver, kidneys, etc.
The liver will be torpid and inactive,
giving rise to biliOuSneSS, loss of appetite,
weak nerves, feeble or irregular action Of
heart, palpitation, dizziness, headache,
backache and kindred disturbances and
weaknesses.
Mr.. Louis Pare. of Quebec. writes: "For
years after my health began to fail, my head
grew dizzy. eyes panied me. and my stomach
was sore all the time. while everything

on my stomach. The doctors claimed that

A Plea For Scum,

A learned doctor, pleading for soup
on every dinner table, says: ga person
comes to dinner weary and hungry
and needs first something to stimulate
the secretions of the stomach. The
first course, hot soup, does this by its
action upon the nerves which control
the blood vessels. Taking the soup
slowly is an aid to digestion, and if
not favorite dish fish or oysters can
be substituted, serving the same pur-
pose. The joint or roast can then be
taken with benefit to the system, and
the game, vegetables and sweets
should follow in their order, not nee
essarily in courses for the plain fam
lily dinner, however"

Mirabenu's Trumpet Voice.

Mirabeau had voice like a trumpet,
and when he raised it in threat or de.
nunciation the effect was awe inspir-

greatly heightened by his manner, his
personal appearance being exceedingly
imposing. He had way Of lifting his
head and shaking it to give emphasis
to his periods that made the beholders
involuntarily draw back with fear.
