A Philadelphia business man had
as guest friend from Toledo, an ex-
tremely busy individual, little ia
miliar with the social graces. For
the &rst evening Of his stay a dinner
party had been arranged. The host
ess had provided a most attractive
young woman for the Toledo man,
and it was thought that he would
take desperate fancy to her, which,
indeed, he did. When the guests
had gathered and were ready to go
out the host, with his politest bow,
said, 'Mr. Blank, will you please
take Miss Dash out to dinner ?"
Certainly" responded the Toledo
man, with alacrity, "but l under
stood that we were to have dinner

A Heresford Aneodote.

An amusing Renaissance IS given
in Black and White of Lord Charles
Beresford. He once created dis
turbance in the house by practical
joke, for which the victim never for
gave him. There was a certain
member at the time who used to
seek refuge in an empty bench be-
hind the speakers chair whenever
long winded debate was in prog
ress. Here he would take off his
boots and go to sleep until the divi-
sion bell rang On the day in ques-
ton Beresford crept up to him and,
taking one of the boots, hid it under
a bench. Just then the division bell
rang, and the sleepy member hunted
high and low for his boot; but, UNI
able to find it, he was hustled out
by the tellers, and the humorous
spectacle was witnessed of a staid
member holding up one leg and
showing a big hole in his sock,

CHARCOAL AS MEDICINE.
An Antidots For Poison and a Good
Household Remedy.

An Antidote For Poison and a Good
Household Remedy.
Charcoal as a home medicine has
many uses, says Medical Talk.
"For all forms of poison pulver-
lied charcoal is recommended to act
as if by magic"
Our opinion is that these ac-
counts just now are greatly exagger-
ated. We doubt very much whether
apoiSonous dose of strychnine would
be antidoted by charcoal. At the
same time, we believe charcoal to be
a very excellent remedy, especially
in ptomaine poisoning. All kinds
OF fermentation of food within the
stomach or decomposition of food
are Immediately corrected by char.
coal.
For many years we have been in
the habit of prescribing pulverized
charcoal for cholera infantum. This
we add to the milk or other fluid
nourishment which the child is tax
ing. The dose is immaterial. AS
much as can be taken will do no
harm.
We believe that the frequent use
of charcoal in most cases of dys-
pepsia would be beneficial. Char
coal Is perfectly harmless and can
be taken freely without the slight.
est danger.
Charcoal acts as a disinfectant
and absorbent of noxious gaGea and
thoroughly cleanses the whole ali
mentary canal. Therefore, while
we regard these recent accounts
about the curative virtues of char
coal as exaggeration, we are glad so
innocent and useful a remedy as
charcoal has been brought into
prominence by them.
We recommend our readers to
give pulverized chareqol, la=as.si
nent pace as a household remedy. /
1t can be made by those who use
wood as a fuel. Hard wood is the
best. The coal should be a clean
one. 1t can be pulverized with
rolling pin. Those who do not have
access to Goals can purchase the
charcoal already pulverized at the
drug store.
1t is a cheap remedy. 1t is an eff
fcient remedy. 1t is a harmless
remedy, and it is remedy that we
can thoroughly recommend in all
stomach and intestinal disorders.
In cases where it does no good it
certainly will do no harm.
If we were present at a case OF
accidental poisoning and had no
other antidote convenient we should
certainly use pulverized charcoal.
Therefore, it may be well to bear
this in mind. Should any one be
poisoned in the household a doctor
should be Immediately sent for.

HE is USUALLY A FAILURE.
The Ways of the Average Great
American Office Boy.

Inc ways OF the Average Great
American Office Boy.
A most difficult person to cor
ganize" is the Office boy. We hear
30 much about the bright American
boy and the achievements of the
public schools that the wonder is
where the Office boys come from.
They bring certificates of some sort
from their teachers, but Every
big concern has a procession of boys
trooping through its offices and
works day after day, but the boys,
for the most part, are obstinate and
incompetent. When a bright boy
appears he finds bis opportunity
quickly enough, and if he has stay
ing powers he will get on. But the
majority of youngsters that apply
for jobs have no manners, they
can't spell, and they are always
watching the clock. They don't
know whether San Francisco is in
Cuba or the Philippines or whether
Los Angeles is in Spain OF the Sand
witch Islands, and discrimination in
the matter of foreign postage is be-
yond them. Discipline they object
to, and they abhor taking orders.
When it comes to that, the average
young American of today does not
take orders easily. He seems to
suspect some hideous design upon
his freedom and equality. After all,
rudimentary information in geog-
raphy, photography, the wearing Of
hats and the omission of coats in
Offices and certain glimmerings of
poiteness are not without. impor-
tance in business. The average ap-
plicant for Office boydom has no no
ton of responsibility. He will take
a job today and abandon it tomor-
row on any pretext or on none at
all.
But in capacity for vexation the
average stenographer can give him
points. Most stenographers are
good laundresses or baseball pitch
ers spoiled. Polysyllables try their
souls. The uncommon word fud-
dies their keys. Language is, in
their minds, a device by which in
telligent communication can be pre-
vented, and initiative is term with
out meaning They believe that
punctuation is given only to the
gods, for they themselves know
nothing of it. On the other hand,
really capable stenographers are
among the most helpful equipments
of a business Office, but their rarity
is beyond belief.-Arthur Warren in
Success Magazine.

-neighboF.
"TAere il no news.-from my
daughter Isabel. The only way l
know she is still in existence since
that baby was born is that can rec
ognize the handwriting as hers. It's
a great mistake for young mother
to lose her identity the way Isabel's
doing. I've lectured her about it in
my letters, but 1 can't get a word
of reply. Now, when i wrote last

Her answer was eight pages-all

This was only one of long series
of like questions, with like answers,
as the months went by.
"Tell us something about Isabel"
was the frequent refrain of friendsB
and relatives. n
"Well, let me see," Isabel's mott

"Won't you read me a scrap of

begged girl friend one day. "Pm

WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
The History Of This Wonderful and
Imposing Structure.

The HISTORY OF This Wonderful and
Imposing struoturs.
Washington monument is a won
derful structure and very imposing.
Built of white marble, absolutely
without enumeration and~capped'
by an aluminium pyramid, this inn
mense needle rises to "A height Of
over 800 feet.
1t took thirty-six years to build,
cost $1,250,000 and weighs close
upon 100000 tons. There is room
enough in the interior of the mon
ument to house an army of $4,000
men, for the landings will accom-
modate 1875, the stairs 3,s45, the
upper and lower platforms $50 and
the elevator 80. There are 900
steps. The weight of the capstone
is 1900 pounds, while the number
Of blocks of marble used in its con-
struction reached $4,000.
The cornerstone of this gigantic
monument was laid on July 4, 1948,
and on the 9Th of December, 1884,
the topmost stone of the pyramid
was set. Two months later the
great shaft was dedicated. The
immense structure rests on foun-
dalton bed of fine sand two feet
thick, which is laid on a stratum Of
powders and gravel, and its stabil-
ity is assured against all natural
causes except earthquakes and the
washing out of the sand beds be-
meath the monument.
TheW washington monument stands
on site selected by George Wash
ington in the year 1888. 1t is close
by the banks of the Potomac snr-
rounded by forty acres of sloping
mounds and terraces, and but frac-
tional distance from the Jefferso-
Man meridian, which passes due
north and south through the center
of the White House and due east
and west through the center of the
capitol.
The monument has thirty-one
landings, the first one being 80
feet from the base and the last $50
feet. On the walls of each landing
are various memorial inscriptions
and tablets presented by different
societies, persons and countries.
The thirteenth platform is at a
height of $50 feet, and it is here
where the government began its
work of finishing the monument in
1878. Altogether the monument
contains 176 memorial tablets.
There is one tablet which is totally
lecayed and illegible, so that no
1ne knows where it came from or
Who gave it.
Many of the blocks of marble were |
ent by foreign countries as trib-
lite Of admiration for the Father
# His Country. All of these now

me exception. This was a block

his stone was taken and, it is sup
