A Raw Eco.

A raw egg is one of the most nu-
tritious of foods and may be taken
very easily if the yolk is not broken.
A little nutmeg grated upon the
egg, few drops of lemon juice add
ed, some chopped parsley sprinkled
over it or some salt and dash of
cayenne pepper vary the flavor and
tend to make it more palatable
when not taken as a medicine.
The white of a raw egg turned
over a burn or scald is most sooth-
ing and cooling 1t can be applied
quickly and will prevent infamma-
ton, besides relieving the singing
pain.
One of the best remedies in case
of bowel troubles is a partly beaten
raw egg taken at one swallow. 1t
is healing to the infamed stomach
and intestines and will relieve the
feeling of distress. Four eggs TAX
en- in this manner in twenty{our
hours will form the best kind f
nourishment as we'll as medicine for
the patient.

Satire OF a Loooer.

In the pine clad hills of certain
state the country folks had gath
cred at neighbor'S house to spend
the evening in social dance. The
male contingent of the gathering
was composed of farmers, mill men
and logging hands; the fairer sex,
the wives, sisters and sweethearts of
the men, and the district school
teacher, who was the center of at
traction of the young men and who
seemed to be aware of her own pop
ularity. During the evening an
awkward, bashful and roughly dress
ed logging hand was introduced to
the schoolteacher and asked if he
might have a dance with her. The
schoolteacher drew herself up
haughtily and said: mo, street. |
am particular with whom | dance"
Whereupon the logging hand re-
piled, with an air of indifference,

QUEER ACTIONS OF WATCH.

at does not look reasonable to
believe that the personality of the
wearer would have anything to do
with the running of watch" said
matchmaker, "but l recently had
an experience which satisfied me
that in some mysterious way the
watch and its owner become in part
at least identified.
Gan engineer employed in a
large manufacturing establishment
bought watch from me about
three years ago. 1t was a good
watch, too, and he paid a high price
more, indeed, than a man in his
line could have been expected to
pay. Three months after he brought
back the watch, saying that it would
not keep time. ! gave him another,
put the watch in my drawer and
regulated and set it after | had
looked it over, and for three weeks
that watch didn't vary ten seconds
day. | returned it when the engi-
neer called, and in less than a
month he came back again with the
same complaint | examined most
carefully every part of the mechan-
ism. Everything was right. and the
watch kept excellent time, and yet
few weeks later here it was again,
the engineer as mad as a wet hen
and intimating that had sold him
a bad watch.
81 was completely puzzled by the
antics Of the watch, for | knew the
man well enough to be convinced |
that he would not complain with
out cause, so suspected that there
must be something in the way he
handled or wore the watch that
made the trouble. He told me that
his brother was night engineer in
the establishment where he worked
by day. They lived in the same
room. Each had paid half the price
of the watch, and each carried it,
one by day and the other by night.
| didn't see that that would make
any difference in the running of
the watch, but as | couldn't find
the matter with it | gave
him cheap watch and told him to
wear the good watch himself or let
his brother wear it, no matter
which.
"Six months after | met the en-
gineer and asked him about the
watch. 1t ran all right, he said,
ever since his brother quit wearing
t. | then asked him to let his
brother wear it for few months,
md after little irregularity at first
he watch still kept good time. Of
course one case like that doesn't
,rove anything, but | have heard of
'thers, so am more than half con-
'inced that in some queer way
Tatch is influenced by the wearer."

His Opinion Of the Reaiment.

The commanding officer of a
corps was much troubled about the
persistent untidiness of one of his
men. Reprimand and punishment
were unavailing. The man was in
corrigible and remained as dirty as
ever. A brilliant idea struck the
colonel. Why not march him up
and down the whole line of the reg
iment and shame him into decency!
1t was done. The untidy warrior,
who hailed from the Emerald Isle,
was ordered to exhibit himself and
march up and down the entire regi-
ment, and the men were told to
have a good look at him. The un-
abashed Pat halted, saluted the
colonel and said in the hearing of
the whole corps with the utmost
sang froid, "Dhirtiest regiment |
iver insnected, sorr" = Parsons

Long Distance Views.

A young man whose eyes had
been troubling him consulted an oc-
ulist. "What you want to do said
the specialist, sis to take a trip
every day on the ferry or in New
Jersey, Long Island-any place
where you can see long distances.
Look up and down the river, across
fields or if the worst comes to the
worst go to the top of a skyscraper
and scan the horizon from that
point. The idea is to get distance.
You use Jour eyes great deal and
always at close range. You can't
use them any other way in town.
Even when not reading or writing
the vision is limited by small rooms
and narrow streets. No matter in
what direction you look there is a
blank wall not far away to shut off
sight" New York Sun.

ABUSE OF THE HORSE.
Many Thoushtless Ways In Whieh the
Animal ls Tortured.

Is the stall always sweet and well
yentilated-rot at the rear or in
the passageway, and in cool wealth
or, but at the bead and in the hot
test nights of summer and at, say,
4 o'clock of a sitting July morning |?
You don't know? Well, why don't
you? And are you fit to have a
horse if you don't? Is the surcin-
gle always comfortably loose, or is
it, as usual, drawn as tight as an
average husky groom can draw it
''to keep the blankets in place ?"
Now, if it is tight when the animal
is standing up. it is far more so
when he is lying down, and if you
have a horse whom your man says
Sleeps standing up" just go person
ally and give him two or three holes
in the surcingle for a few nights
"unbeknownst" to your employee
and then inquire again. This care
lessness is universal and hideously
cruel. 1t bruises the ridge and back,
prevents rest and sleep and is indie
feasible upon any pretext, for
breast girth or any Of the blankets
with straps sewed on will keep the
covering in place and allow the suf-
ferer-for he is nothing else-to
rest in peace.
While you are about it just meas
ure his halter shank and see if he
can lie down. Many a horse is pur-
posely tied too short to save the
groom trouble in cleaning him; also
see if the nose band of the halter is
loose enough so that he can chew
comfortably, that the throat lash is
not too tight, that the crown piece
and brow band are not harsh edged |
Gather, which will rasp and irritate
MS ears, and then offer him pail
If water or two and see if James
has not, as usual, left him about
lalf cared for to get along until
laylight the best way he can.
Again, find out if he is afraid of
h. dark-~-many horses are-and if
lie is a night kicker. Be sure that
lie does thus dread the departure of
daylight and leave an artificial light,
linn or bright, but, at all events,
nough to allay his paroxysms of
error. Ninety stall kickrS in the
will abandon the practice
if light is left in the
table. The expense is small, the
ure almost certain.-F. NJ. Ware

wher. She Found tn. Sermon.

A certain Boston man doesn't go
to church often, but a week or so
ago he was persuaded by his wife,
and they attended services together.
Upon their return home he regard
ed her with a teasing look and
asked:
'Now look here, dear. Which is
worse, not to go to church at all, or
to go and pay absolutely no atten-
ton to the service ?"
'1f you mean that for me, | think
you are horrid," she said.
"Well, you didn't. You were look
ing at all those diamonds the wom-
an in front of you had on all the
time"

she is an honest little woman, but
quickly recovered her poise.

A Cold Spot.

There is small town in the val
ley of the Lena, in Siberia, called
Werchajan which is believed to
be one of the coolest places on the
earth. Hundreds of people have
lived there to ripe old age, and yet
the thermometer has been known to
descend to 9S,4 degrees below zero.
The average temperature in Wer-
chajansk during the winter months
is 74.S degrees below zero. The
Werchajansk soil is permanently
frozen to depth of $50 feet, and
yet during the month of July the
temperature of Werchajansk is on
the average ees above zero.

A LACK OF IDEAS.
Why II Is That Animals Are Not Ca.
pabIe Of Laughter.

Probably every one has wondered,
says Professor Kranberger of Wen
ma, why animals always have a seri-
Gus aspect, even when they are evil
IDENTIFY pleased. When a dog wags
his tail with pleasure, he comes as
near laughing as it is possible for
him to come, but his countenance,
except for the CLEAN of Joy in his
eyes, is no more suggestive of laugh
Ter than if he were suffering an ag-
ony of pain. Neither are his quick,
sharp banks, which usually accom-
pany the wagging of the tail even
remotely analogous to laughter.
And as for the so called @augh" of
the hyena-thst, of course, is pure
ly metaphorical.
Man is the only animal that
laughs. Why?
To understand the reason for this
it will be necessary first to under
stand what causes laughter.
"The sudden perception of an
unexpected incongruity," says Her
bert Spencer.
But this does not 90 far enough.
Brutes are capable of perceiving in
congruities The incongruity must
be between an object or event and
the idea which we have formed of it.
So, for instance, what can be
more mirth provoking to boy than
to see the wind blow the hat from
the head of dignified man and the
latter go scurrying after, making
frantic but vain attempts to recap
ture it?
A million horses or dogs or mon
keys might look on and never feel
amused, whereas there is probably !
not lad in all creation that would
not laugh with glee-not, forsooth,
because the horses, dogs and apes
are wiser, but because the boy sees
the double lncongrulty between the
runaway hat and the idea Of the
proper use of hats and between the
idea of what is becoming to dignity
and the sudden lapse from that
standard by the dignifed man.
What, it may be asked, is to pre-
vent any of the other animals from
seeing the incongruitieS?
Simply this-that man is the only
animal that has ideas. Ideas are
'ormed by reason and can be grasp
ID only by reason, and, as it is only
~ comparison with ideas that the
ncongruity in question arises, lack
# reason forever precludes animals
rom enjoying a laugh.-New York
