The ships cook was, moreover, hon

prevent unwarranted raids upon the
provisions by ships thieves; he did not
wear a uniform nor was he expected
to keep watch, being allowed to sleep

deck. But, ON the other hand, he had
some duties not connected with food,
among them the preparation when the
ship was in port of a hot poker for
firing salutes.
And 1t was an established custom of
the navy that the ship was not properly
paid off until the pennant was struck
by the cook. This operation he was ex-
pected TO perform as the last officer Of
the ship, and until he had done It no
officer could consider himself discharg-
ed or at liberty to leave the port This
rule held good though every seaman
had left the ship, and sometimes the
cook himself, in q fit of absentminded-
ness, went off without carrying out the
task, and had to be routed out again
before the incensed officers could leave
for their homes. There will be seamen
alive today who have heard the phrase.

TONICS.
Two Edged swords Capable of Mis-
chief as Well as Benefit

Two Edged swords Capable of Mis-
chief as Well as Benefit.
There is perhaps no class Of remedial
| agents more abused than tonics. The
abuse consists both in the excessive
use and the misapplication of this class
OF agents, which within a restricted
field possess an indisputable and i'm
! portant therapeutic value. The misuse
| of tonics is doubtless the outgrowth
of misconception of the real nature of
this class of remedial agents and its
limitations. Many physicians also seem
to lose sight of the fact that tonics are,
as has been said of drugs in general,
two edged swords which are as capable
of mischief as of benefit Indeed, when
the true nature of tonics-aS is true, In
fact, of most medicinal agents-is thor
oughly understood, it is apparent that
even in cases In which they accomplish
the maximum of benefit there is also
a certain amount of injury inflicted
upon the organism, so that the effect
obtained is really and simply the differ
ence between the mischief done and the
good accomplished. If the difference
IL on one side, the total result is benefit;
II on the other side, the result is harm.
This principle holds good with regard
to most remedies, whether the means
employed is drug or nonmedicinai
agent
The popular idea of tonic is well
expressed In the following definition,
which we find In the National Medical
Dictionary: IAN agent which augments
gradually and permanently the strength
and vital activity Of the body or its
parts" A stimulant is defined by the
same authority as being ian agent
which increases the functional activity
Of any organ or series of organs" The
distinction made seems to be that a
stimulant produces temporary excite
ment, whereas a tonic produces a per
manent increase of strength and vital
activity Health.

THE lSLAMlC WORLD.

TITS Two Divisions and Its Attitude
Toward the Sultan.
The Islamic world Is divided into
two great divisions Sunni Moham-
medans, who occupy the Turkish en-
pire, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Tripoli,
Afghanistan, Egypt and the Sudan,
and the Khanates of central Asia, and
the Shah Aohammedans, who occupy
Persia and are scattered all over the
Mohammedan world, somel 100000 of
them being in India. By THE doctrine
of the latter the caliph must be lineal
descendant Of the prophet. The Sunnis,
on the other hand, do not insist on this,
but 1t is an article of necessary faith
In Sunni theology and law that the ca
iiph must be an Arab of pure blood be-
longing to Mohammed's tribe. On this
point there is absolutely no difference
In the Mohammedan world, barring one
Or two insignificant sects out of the
hundreds Of sects into which Moham-
mechanism is divided
One proof test is the Friday prayer.
In no country out of Turkey is prayer
offered up for the sultan of Turkey.
To do so would be an act of sedition
and treated as such. would not give
much for the life Of the moIlah who
dared to offer up prayers for the sui
tan In any mosque in Afghanistan or
Persia. The Arabs repudiate with
scorn the idea Of the sultan being ca
liph; nor. indeed, has he ever dared
formally to appeal to the Mohamme-
dan world in that character. He was
never acknowledged as caAph in India,
and If he publicly claimed the title
formally even in Constantinople it is
probable that he would find himself
deposed by a fetva of the Sheikh ul
Islam.-London Times.

had difficulty in finding where he lived.
His house was in an out of the way
part of the town, and his name-prO-
nounced by the country folk in two
syllables instead of three-was not I'M
common in the neighborhood. 1t is re-

search and many failures, made inoui-

proved on further description not TO be
the one. AT length the old fellow re-
membered with sudden enlightenment
that there was one Whittier more. and.
slapping his thigh, he drawled with de-

"Now I've got him sure. You mean
that old bachelor man that lives with
an old maid sister daown by the mills
He's Whitcher too"
And this 'Whitcher," despised bach
