Love POtiOns.

Love potions as used by the peasants
of lower Austria and Syria are gen
orally taken by the person who wishes
to be loved. The common habit is to
consume minute portions of white ar
senic, which will in few weeks de-
velop thin, pale girl into a plump,
rosy checked beauty. Great care has
to be exercised In taking the arsenic
or death results, and when the habit
is once formed it usually lasts for life,
since the body becomes uncomfortable
and even diseased, showing all the
symptoms Of arsenic poisoning, if the
habit Is broken off.
Some Of the eastern nations use love
potions differently. If a girl loves a
man and he seems cold, she contrives
to give him drink Of hasheesh, OBJ
tanned from Indian hemp. The mans
brain becomes logged, and he is ready
to believe anything that is suggested
to him. The girl suggests to him that
she is beautiful and thus compels him
to regard her unlovely features as she
desires.

Is Disease a Crin1e !

published an editorial article In which
the writer asserted, In substance, that oil
disease should be regarded as criminal.
Certain II Is, that much Of the sickness

violation Of certain Of Natures laws.
But to say that oil sickness should DO

every reasonable individual as radically

The Human Electric Battery.

1he human ELECTRIC b0tterys
The superstition that human beings
should sleep with their heads to the
north is believed by the French to have
for its foundation a scientific fact.
They affirm that each human system is
in itself an electric battery, the head
being one Of the electrodes, the feet the
other. Their proof was discovered from
experiments which the Academy of
Sciences was allowed to make on the
body Of man who was guillotined.
This was taken the instant it fell and
placed upon pivot free to move as it
might. The head part, after little
yacillati0n, turned to the north. and
the body then remained stationary. 1t
was turned half way round by one of
the professors, and again the head END
Of the trunk moved slowly to the car
dinal point due north, the same results
being repeated until the final arresta-

To Tell u Fashionable ReUtaurant.

bachelor, cat ALI the fashionable res.
taurants you wrote your order. That
was the way to distinguish the really
fashionable restaurant: You wrote your
order there, whereas lin the common
one you gave it to the waiter orally.
Ordering is difficult matter. It is a
thing, especially when zone has guests,
that one is likely to get clustered over:
hence always liked to- write my or
der. It kept me cool. But waiter,
standing over me, suggesting dishes I
didn't want, hurrying me, had the
power to rattle me completely. But

4the Ratn In the Woods.

The lamentable effects Of the gener-
al destruction OF forests are now suf-
ticlently recognized In all civilized
countries. Such destruction invites
devastating floods in mountain streams
and causes the surrounding land to
dry up, Forests act like vast con-
denslng screens. They preserve a
moist atmosphere about them, atten-
uate the force of torrential downfalls,
promote a more gradual melting of the
snow in early spring and protect the
soil against too rapid evaporation.
And yet the manner In which forests
act their beneficent part is not exactly
such as might be supposed. They pre-
vent large part Of the rain that falls
from reaching the soil at all. 1t is es-
timated that in European climates the
forests evaporate directly or transpire
physiologically four-ffths of the rain
that falls upon them. Thus the forest
atmosphere is no less important than
the forest soil In equalizing the eli
matte conditions of a cOuntry.-YOu

One of the most peculiar things in
the whole history Of signs Is the fact
that while all other shopkeepers. were
patronizing the embryo painters the
tobacconist always called upon the
woodcarver on the continent as we'll as
in England. AS long ago as Eliza
beth's reign the wooden image of the
black boy was the favorite sign Of
the tobacco dealers. Later the Gus
tomary sign was the highlander or q
figure Of Sir Walter Raleigh. In Hol-
land, for some strange reason, the to-
bacconists adopted the dairymaid as
their sign, with the motto, *'Consola-
ton for sucklings." The Indian, nat
urally enough, has always been the
predominant sign in this country, al

type crops out with the ancient black

Tale Of q Coat.

The clawhammer, or evening coat,
has many oddities of cut. These oddi-
ties were once essentials. There was,
In fact, time when every idiosyn-
Grassy Of the clawhammer served some
useful purpose. The cutaway front Of
the coat, for instance, was originally
cut away so that the wearer when on
horseback would not he incommoded.
The two buttons at the back were for
fastening up the tails out of harms
way, each tail having in the past a
buttonhole at its end. The sleeves,
with their false cuffs, are relics of the
days when sleeves were always turned
back and therefore were always made
with cuffs that unbuttoned. The col
lar, with its wide notches, is sur
viyal Of the old collar that was notch
ed In order that it's wearer could turn
it up conveniently In cold or stormy
weather. The dress coat, in a word, is
q patchwork Of relics-relics once es-
sential, but now of no use on earth

A Turkish Joke

A certain sultan of Turkey was very
fond of gossip and sent for the bank
er, Abraham Beg, to learn the small
talk of Pera and stamboul. AS Abra-
ham was being conducted to the sui
tan's residence by the master Of the
horse that functionary begged him,
should the sultan question him on the
subject, to say that the funds were
at 80, bis majesty having been so In
formed by his ministers.
Poor Abraham consented.
He had not been long with Abdul
Aziz when he was questioned as to the
funds and replied as he had promised.
To the horror Of the banker, the sui
tan expressed himself delighted and
handed Abraham large bundle Of
bonds to sell for him.
Abraham sold at IL and paid Abdul
Aziz 80. The sultan had originated
that little. coke" 81

Webster's Fine Talk to a Fish.

I had a chat once with old John At
taQuin, then a patriarch among the
few survivors of the Mashpee Indians
He had often been Mr.. Webster's
guide and companion on his fishing
trips and remembered clearly many of
their happenings. 1t was with glow
Of love and admiration amounting to
worship that he related how, this great
fisherman, after landing large trout
on the bank Of the stream, talked
mighty strong and fine to that fish and
told him what mistake he had made
and what fool he was to take that
fly and that he would have been all
right if he had left it alone''
Who can doubt that patient search
would disclose somewhere in Mr.. Web
ster's speeches and writings the elabo-
ration, with high intent, of that
"mighty strong and fine" talk address,
