most entirely to the fact that for
nearly half a century the United
States has turned it's sole atten-
ton to the building up of it's mag
nificent railroad system and
practically given no attention
whatsoever to the DEVELOPMENT
of other means of transporta-
ton.
It is due largely to the efforts
of Capt. Ellison's organization
that the present interest in wa
terway betterment has been Gre
ated. The National River &
Harbor Congress during the last
half decade has been urging the
necessity for developing another
system of transportation, pri-
marily, for the purpose of caring
for the rapidly increasing com
merce of the country; and Sec
ondly, to furnish salutary check
TO exorbitant freight charges.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Cheerfulness is a great aggravation
to an angry man.
Nearly every one thinks he Is good
judge Of human nature.
You can't do anything very we'll If
you don't want to do it.
It is not difficult to prove you are
right from your own point Of view.
How people economical in the old
days! But not many people do it now.
e Some men would do wonderful things
If some little thing were not in the
way.
When boy wants a favor from his
parents he asks his fathers permission
and tells his mother he is going to do
it.
The average friendship is wrecked
upon the fact that the average per-
sons idea of a friend Is some one he
can impose upon.-Atchison Globe.

BLEEDING A KING.
Louis XIV, Greedy Physician and an
UnscrupuIous Surueon,

NSS'o ->Aav q 'SSeJ duO
interruptions Surgeon.
In 1893, when Louis XIV. began to
feel the first touches Of age, his physi-
clans ordered him to be bled once a
month. That duty was of course in
trusted to Marechal, his Irish surgeon.
There was at the time in Paris, says
the British Medical journal, a young
brother Of the craft who conceived the
idea of making his fortune by bleed,
ing the king. The enterprise was diff
cult, but he knew that the most solid
doors can often be opened with a gold
en- key.
Following the advice Of Iago, he put
money in his purse and sought an in
PRODUCTION to Antoine Daquin, the
kings chief physician. The negotia-
ton was conducted on q strict bust
ness footing. Daquin, who was known
to love money, was told that 10000
! crowns were deposited with a notary
who had instructions to transfer the
sum to him as soon as the surgeon
had got the job.
It was not an easy thing to manage,
as Marechal never left the king. One
day, however, he asked permission to
leave Versailles for three days. Da-
quin seized the opportunity to intro
duce his protege, whom he had ready
at hand for the purpose. Feeling the
kings pulse one morning, as usual, he
! pretended to be alarmed at its strength
and volume and ordered the illustrious
patient to be bled forthwith. AS
Marechal was away, the king hesitat-
ed, but fear soon made him yield to
his physicians proposal. The young
surgeon bled the king, and Daqutn got
his money.
In the meantime message had been
dispatched for Marechal, who was not
far off. He returned to Versailles in
haste and was much surprised to find
that the king, whom he had left in the
best of health, had been bled. He was
not on friendly terms with Daquin
and he quickly grasped the situation.
He went to see the young surgeon and
! forced him to disclose the whole plot.
When the king learned the truth, he
few into terrible rage ordered Da-
quin to be arrested and placed the mat
ter in the hands of the council of state.
That obsequious body. after very
short deliberation, unanimously voted
that the physician who had trafhcked
in the blood of the king deserved death.
The royal wrath, however, subsidized to
some extent, and he graciously spared
Daquin's life, but deprived him Of his
Office and exiled him from the court to
Quimper Corentin. The too greedy
| physician did not long survive his dis
grace.-London Standard.

A COINCIDENCE.

Peculiar Combination Of Events Re-
lated by Andrew Lang.
AS to the long arm Of coincidence"
1t may be as long as is necessary
Nothing is impossible to coincidence
An instance of my own experience,
said Andrew Lang, convinces me of
this fact. l had been reading a foolish
book, Out Of the Hurry Burly," and
some of the rhymes ran in my head
They began:
Bury Bartholomew out in the woods
In a beautiful hole in the ground.
In the afternoon drove with a par
ty of friends, and we took the refresh
ment of tea at a house where there
were several other guests, all unknown
to me even by name. AS two of these
lived ut a place on our homeward
route. they accompanied us in our We
hicle. AS we passed wood on a hill
side one Of these anonymous strangers
said to me. This is the burial place Of
the Murrays Of Glendhubreac." I alb
sently and automatically replied:
Bury Bartholomew out in the woods
In a beautiful hole in the ground.
A kind of chill blight settled on the
party, though one of them tactfully
asked me what poet l was quoting.
When we had set down our two
strangers at their own home I was
asked whether l knew the name of the
gentleman on whom I had expended
my poetical quotation? OF course did
not know, and of course his surname
was Bartholomew, while, as he seemed
In bad health, my citation had an air
Of brutal appropriateness. THUS does
fortune banter u.s." for Bartholomew
"a most unusual name in Scotland.

BOOKS AND BINDINGS.
A Critics Comparison Of the Modern
With the Ancient.

A Critics Comparison of the Modern
With the Ancient.
Zone Of the strangest things about
the early printing is the fact that the
paper and binding were so much bet
ter than we have nowadays" said a ST.
Louis collector.
Il have books on my shelves printed
and bound by presumably reputab BILE
firms, and yet after six or eight years
of careful use the paper Is coming to
pieces and the bindings are gone, while
side by side with them are books 300
years old with paper intact and the
bindings as good as new. The differ
ence Is Of course in honesty of ma
terlal and work. In the old days a
ner's watts for year before it was
thought fit for use. Paper was hand
made Of real linen rags. Now book
leather is ready two or three weeks
after the calf has been skinned. Pa
per Is machine made Of heaven knows
what. or course there may be honest
ly made paper and strong binding now,
as there were then, but a couple Of
hundred years ago good binding and pa
per We're the rule Now they are the
rare, also the costly, exceptions. 1t is
true that the high temperatures Of the
houses. the gases and coal fumes may
have something to do with impairing
leather bindings, for, as everybody
knows. stout cloth or canvas binding
is better than the leather now used.
The same influences may also damage
the paper, but still the fact remains
that neither the temperature nor the
gases affect the work of the old print
ers. so the difference. after all, is one
Of quality."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

Burro Drivers Carry Candles.

In Mexico all vehicles, be they hand
cart, automobile or anything between,
must carry light at night. This rule
or law is rigidly enforced. Even the
drivers of the poor little burro or mule
carts, on their two wheels, must carry
q light. So, rather than buy lanterns,
which cost money, they take a dip
candle, and wrapping it in a bit Of
newspaper, to shield it from the wind
carry it in their left hand as they drive
along homeward from work after even
ing has fallen. The effect is striking,
as the light falling strongly on the In
dian driver throws the face Of the man
into strong relief against the darkness.

There Is popular belief that meer-

Superstitious.

A we'll known New Yorker, while
dining at his club one evening, OBJ
served that his order of oysters on the
shell was not complete, there being
only eleven bivalves instead of the
dozen it was his custom to order. On
rejecting that his waiter, an Irishman,
was a newcomer, he decided to let the
matter pass, but when on the next
evening the same thing occurred he
became a trife impatient.
"See here" exclaimed he to the wait
or, "what do you mean by bringing me
eleven oysters when I order twelve?
This is the second time that this thing
has happened"
"Sure, SIR" quietly responded the
Celt, Il didn't think you would want to
risk being thirteen at table, sir"

Questions the Pension omce Rules.

A comrade who has been a physician
for 81 years strongly dissents from some
rulings of the Pension Bureau which
have come under his notice. One of
these is where a man was suffering
chronic laryngitis due to his service
and which finally developed lung dis
ease. The Commissioner of Pensions re-
fused to allow lung disease as a result
of chronic laryngitis in spite of many
authorities. In another decision a man
was rejected for increase of pension be-
cause his heart disease did not suffi-
GENTLY disable him. Heart disease, the
comrade insists, Is a much greater dis
ability than the loss of a hand or foot.
A man who has lost hand or foot can
get around and do considerable work,
eating well, sleeping and enjoying life,
while man that has palpitation of the
heart is liable to die at any time, cannot
make any exertion and has little enjoy
ment of existence
