AN ELDER BROTHER.

In a case in tfll orphans court of an
eastern city one of the principal wit
nesses was asked if he had any broth
erS or sisters.
Il had a brother he replied, ''but he
died $50 years ago.
What? A hundred and fifty years
ago. echoed the judge. with an i'm
piled rebuke for a possible jest.
Yes [ am telling you the truth My
father was married at nineteen years
of age. Within the year a son was
born to him, who shortly afterward
died. Becoming a widower before he
was thirty, my father married again at
the age of seventy-five. / was born
next year. I am at present ninety
four years old. If you will make the
necessary calculation by adding my
age, ninety-four, to the number fifty
six, which is the difference between
seYentyfive and nineteen, the ages of
my father at the time of his respect
i've marriages, the result will be ex-
actly 150- So it is just a century and
half since my brother died.

NOT FOR HER.

a story is told of a young wife who
knew little OF housekeeping. She was,
in consequence of that inexperience,
disposed to stand a bit in awe of the
butcher the baker, and the candle
SHOEMAKER, for she felt sure they
must be aware of the extent of her
ignorance in household matters. She
ordered only such things as she was
absolutely sure of, and she made her
interviews with the tradesmen as brief
as possible.
One morning there came to her house
a collector of ashes. "Ash-ees, ash
ees.' she heard him calling in stentor-
ian tones. AS the cry was repeated
again and again. she became more and
more preplexed as to what "ash-ees"
meant Finally, she went to the gate
in the rear and opened it. "Ash-ees?''
came in cultural question from the
man.
The young wife hesitated for a mo-
ment; then, drawing herself up to a
dignif1ed attitude, she replied coldly:
No, l don't think l care for any to-
day"

OBLIGING.

New York manager interested in
musical productions was busily engag-
ed one morning in testing, with the
cooperation of his musical director,
the voices of numerous aspirants for
positions in the chorus.
The first person to enter the room
was man with a very sad expression.
He took his place at the foot of the
line and patiently waited his turn for
an audience by the manager.
The manager and his director had
their troubles that morning, for nearly
every voice tested was below the stan
dard required. So when the melancholy
man was reached and he attempted to
make some remark, he was promptly
cut short by the manager, who said:
You will omit the preliminary re-
marks and get down to business: Try
him." he added turning to the director.
The latter began the accompaniment
to popular song, which. with some
hesitancy. the applicant for job at
tempted with what voice he had. His
effort was about as bad as it could
have been.
Look herei" cut in the manager,
after the melancholy man had cleared
his throat for the second verse, that

in that portion which forms the outer
covering of the appendix.
Appendicitis has increased amazingly
il the last ten or twenty years, due to
the widespread change of social habits
and diets. The caecum is filled with
Gndigested food, such as tough meats,
lobster, clans, nuts, pineapple, frozen
or refrigerated meats, poultry, etc.
Tea drinking has much to do with the
onset of the disease. the beverage being
too astringent for health. Appendicitis
is peculiar to youth. more than so per
cent. of all the cases occurring under
the age of 80. Furthermore. so per cent.
of the cases are nlales.-N. Y. Press.

HOPE FOR
BIG EATERS

| The man with a good appetite has {
hard time nowadays. All the faddists
are shouting that he eats too much.
II he doesn't jump at the chance OF
fasting forty days. he is snubbed. And
if he doesn't joyously cut out two OF
mis- quondam three meals day ne is
scorned.
| But once in long While he does
get a little comfort. A writer in Truth
gave him hope recently by telling about
famous old men who had been hearty
eaters.
There was Victor Hugo, who, in the
very stronghold of French chefs, kept
an Irish cook who herself attended her
master at table. She hated messes and
gravies. and if she thought dish un-
wholesome she refused to let him par
take of it.
She had her reward in the heaTttness
with which he ate of her roast ana
boiled vfands-such as a leg of mutton,
rib of beef, ham, CANNON of Wiltshire
bacon and greens, a dish one hardly
ever tastes in France.
She and Nine. Drouet, the tactful
friend and secretary Of Victor Hugo
through the greater part of his literary
career, We're agreed in satisfying to the
full his fondnesS for early spring Vege-
to bles and new potatoes. AS he in
sisted on them being passed around the
table, which was spread for many
disciples, admirers, hangerson, they
must have cost him a small fortune.
Asparagus, which cost % cents and |
more a stalk, was often served, Hugo |
always taking a generous helping and !
then calling for more. He arranged |
the stalks circularly on his plate, with
the points, inward like the spokes of a
Wheel and placed the sauce in the mid
die in a round space left vacant for it.
This arrangement was always SYM
netrical. He disliked to see broken
point, talked while eating. and ate, one
night have thought. enough for two or
hree laborers.

THE FIRST SAFETY PIN.

There is a strange story connected
with the safety PIN" the clerk said.
"An Englishman invented this pin
some thirty or forty years ago. For
his adnira BILE invention he was highly
honored. Fetes and applause We're
showered upon him If I am not mis-
taken. the man was even knighted.
About three years ago, in eXcavat-
ing in Pompeii. they came upon-what

ABOUT APPENDICITIS.

A fine bull terrier belonging to a resi-
dent of Brooklyn was operated on last
week for appendicitis, and is doing well.
In the appendix was found small roll
of human hair, which proved to be a
collection of the combed-out strands of
his mistress locks. Human hair is
practically indigestibIe except to the
ostrich. A mouse of it in a dogs ali
mentary canal is quite sufficient to in
flame the appendix. Most women burn
their combings in the kitchen stove
for luck.
Appendicitis is a horror. I met Il
young man yesterday, healthy to look
upon, who told me he had appendicitis
and would have an operation perform
ed as soon as he could get the money
and three months leave of absence
There is nothing pleasant in the pros
pect.
Formerly appendicitis was wrapped
in much obscurity and its effects We're
attributed to gastric seizure in
Illumination of the bowels ''ililac
phlegmon. 'perityphlitis, ''paraty-
phlitis,'' and conditions under many
other names. The earliest and full ac-
count of the disease was not given until
1886. Thus we are just twenty years in
the grasp of the death dealer. Infiam-
nation of the appendix itself does not
constitute, though it starts, the dis
ease, and so long as only the appendix
is affected, though there may be dis
comfort. there is no real pain, the oc-
currence of pain giving the signal that
the peritoneum, the smooth membrane
covering all the bowels and lining the
abdominal cavity, has become inflamed

TOLD OF MARK TWAIN.

AT a recent dinner Mark Twain, ac-
cording to an English report. made a
most amusing little speech which was
responded to as follows by a lawyer
who was present: Doesn't it strike
the company as little unusual" he
inquired, that d professional humorist
should be funny?'' When the laugh
that greeted this sally had subsidized
Mary Twain drawled out, Doesn't it
ti4.>e the company as a little unusual
hat a lawyer SHOULD have his hand in
