Pnkham appointed Rathburn as fish
inspector, on Achi recommendation
and assurance that there was no poll
tics in it, and Rathburn and his broth
er were very active in Achrs interest
at the late Republican club election.
Thus Pinkham was forced against his
will, as it were, to invent a political
machine. It is true, it did not work
well, not much better in fact than the
uninvented machine for making con-
crete blocks

The Saver and the Miser.

The miser is the poorest of men,
for, while he lives solely for self. he
gets less out of life than any other
man. He has money, but denies him
self the things that money can buy.
In making money the end, instead Of
the means Of life he narrows his pur-
poses and achievements down to moth
ingness. But the despicable example
of n miser nor a thousand can aver
shake the firm foundation upon which
rest wholesome saving and thrift. The
soul Of thrift is saving. Most men
who have learned the trick of making
millions at a single deal first learned
how to double their pennies. To the
man who would become rich the habit
Of saving, once firmly fixed, is his most
important capitalist. Louis Star.

Written by Ennana Of Thebes for
Egypt's Crown Prince in 1900 8. c.
The Tale of Two Brothers." writ
ten 5000 years ago by the Theban
scribe, Ennana, librarian of the pal.
ace to King Merenptah, the supposed
Pharaoh of the Exodus, is the oldest
work of fiction extant.
Inc tale was written apparr=-'y for
= entertainment Of the Gro. .ince,
who subsequently reigned as seti II.
His name appears in two places on
the manuscript-probably the only sur
wing autograph signatures of an
Egyptian king.
This piece of antique fiction, written
on nineteen sheets of papyrus in a bold
hleratic hand, was purchased in Italy
by Nine. d'Orbiney, who sold it IN
1857 to the authorities of the British
museum, where it is now known as
the d'Orbiney papyrus.
Other specimens of ancient Egyp-
a fiction have since come to light,

Unpleasant Part OF Education Of
Every Doctor.
DO doctors know how their own
medicine tastes?" was a question put
to a group Of physicians.
ITO be sure" said one, "but we
have hard work to convince our pa
tents that we do. If you only knew
how this beastly stuff tastes, doctor,
o wouldn't ask me to take it, is
the complaint they make when dosed
with an especially d~isagreeable con
coction. And they are h%ard-headed
people, too, who say that-people who
are by no means raving in delirium.
No matter how sincerely I may pro-
test 1t is hard to persuade them that
do know how the stuff tastes just
as well as they do.
How did you find out about it?'
is n of their trump questions. You
have never been laid up with all the
diseases in the dictionary. How did
you learn what the different remedies
taste like?'
1T never occurs to the average
patient that tasting drugs is a part OF
a medical students education, and
that no man is qualified to practice
until he has learned the flavor Of the
medicines he prescribes."

Belgian Women Hard Workers.

In Belgium horses often cost more
than the p%easantry a afford, and SO
many of the women often trudge
miles with one heavy basket slung
over their shoulders, another on their
arm, and a third balanced perfectly
OF their heads. They tramp along in
the glazing heat until they reach the
neighboring market. They they find
no time to rest. They empty their
baskets, W thinking that in car
rying such a load they have perform
ed a hard days work, SO eager are
they to sell their flowers, fruits, and
vegetables. After vending their wares
all day they return with three empty
baskets, one strapped to the back,
another On the head, and the third on
their arms.

Roman System of Figuring.

Counting on the fingers was a reg
ular system for the young Romans.
They would make eighteen move
ments with the left hand for the num-
bers below 100, and eighteen with
the right hand for those above. Two
kinds of counting machines, called
an abacus, were also used. One was
a board strewn with sand, on which
geometrical figures were drawn. The
other was a frame, with balls moved
in grooves to represent figures, with
a special contrivance for doing frac-
tons. AS teachers were not yer pa
tent in those days, arithmetic might
be said to have been learned less by
rule than by ferrule.

Sleepy Mans Excuse Settled That for
All Time.
A club woman, weary of bridge and
military euchre, decided to give an
other kind of entertainment. She
chose for her material a philosophical
lecture on Les M%iserables,' to be
given by an intellectual woman Of
her city,
The affair was not a success, but
one man, whose interest in books is
confined to his ledger and account
book, slept peacefully throughout the
evening. In vain did his wife pinch
his arm. He reposed as calmly as
though in his own Morris chair at
horne.
When the lecture was over, how
ever, and refreshments were passed
he came to life again and made him
self agreeable. His hostess seeing
this could not help giving him a slight
