ECCENTRIC TRAVELLERS.
A European Tour That Was Confined
to a Canal Boat.

An EIglishman once went abroad
with the design of taking an extern
sive tour on the continent, but was
diverted from his purpose by find
ing himself so comfortable on board
a canal boat in Holland or Belgium
that he went no farther, preferrlng
to be a daily passenger in the boat,
which went and returned between
certain limits on alternate days.
1t seems to be agreed that this
man started on his intended tour In
1916, the year of the battle of Wa
terloo, that he landed at Ostend
with the design of pushing on to
Brussels and that the canal boat
which arrested his progress was one
that piled between Bruges and
Client, starting n day at Client
and the other at Bruges.
According to n account which
we have heard, the individual III
question went abroad not merely to
see foreign lands, but in the hope of
meeting with illustrious personages
and distinguished characters, which
will account for his making Brus-
sells in 1916. Finding, however,
that on board the canal boat he not
only fell in with many persons worth
meeting, but had the opportunity
of sitting down with them at a ia
BILE d'hote, he thought he could not
do better, and went backward and
forward, never getting farther than
Client, until the railroads were in
vented, when he drowned himself on
the last trip of the passage boat.
Another Englishman is said to
have made a bet hat Van Am
burgh, the lion tanner, would be eat
en- by his ferocious pupils within a
given time and followed him about
the continents of Europe and Amer
lea in the hope of seeing him at
last devoured and so winning his
stake. Eugene Sue introduces this
mythical Englishman among the
dramatis personae of "The Wander
ing Jew"
The Russians also have a story OF
an eccentric traveller, likewise an
Englishman, who posted overland
and in the depth of winter to st,
Petersburg merely to see the ia
nous wrought iron gates of the
summer garden. He is said to have
died of grief at finding the gates
superior to those at the entrance tc
his own park at home.
Add to this the lying traveller
who boosted that he had been every.
where, and who on being asked how
he liked Persia replied that ht
scarcely knew, as he had stayed
there only a day.
Note also, among eccentricltles
the nobleman Of whom it was In
CURED at dinner what he thought o.
Athens. He turned to his bod.
servant, waiting behind his chair
and said, "John, what did | think o
Athens?"-Sunday Magazine.

Tartar on the Teeth.

The remedy for tartar on the
teeth will be of benefit in clearing
the color. Get five cents worth Of
powdered pumice stone, an orange
stick and lemon. Sharpen the stick
to a flat point, cut the lemon in half
and dip the stick into the lemon
juice and then into the powdered
pumice. Rub Over the green spots
until they r removed and be care
full to rub between the teeth also.
Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
You should use this only when nee
essary, not oftener than once in two
weeks, as the pumice if used often
destroys the enamel.
