QUEER TASTES IN EATING.
New York Waiter Shocked by Mix
lures Of Patrons.

There are some queer tastes seen
by walters. You know the prediction
of schoolgirls for cake and pickles.
Well, / have seen that beaten Often"
said Broadway waiter.
I've got customer who puts sugar
on white potatoes. Sugar on tomatoes
and canteloupe is pretty bad; but
sugar on potatoes-ugh!
"a lady customer, corset maker,
melts lump of butter in her cup of
tea. Could you go that?
"a pugilist puts vinegar on all his
meats and egetables-vinegar on
everything except his dessert. This is
not because he wants to reduce his
weight; it is because he likes the
taste.
"Of course l have lots of customers
who drink sour milk and eat high
game and cheese-customer for whom
we ripen milk and cheese and birds
till the aroma Of our cellar would
cause a turkey buzzard to quail.
II have never seen any one put
sugar on oysters, but have seen sew
eral persons put sugar on their fish,

Self-lmposed MARTYR,

Marvin is pupil in the Seventy
seventh street school. He is a new
pupil. He is also lazy one, so far
as books are concerned, and he finds
it an exceedingly irksome duty to get
over to the school house every morn
ing at nine o'clock in order that he
may imbibe a modicum of knowledge
Indeed, sometimes he finds the task
so difficult that in spite of good inten-
tions he does not make the rifle
Last Monday was one of these unfor-
tunate days. When he finally went
skulking into the schoolroom half an
hour behind time the teacher stopped
short the recitation she was conduct
ing and turned her attention to the
tardy arrival.
Marvin" she said, severely, why
were you so late this morning.
"Oh," said he, brazenly, I've been
busy rounding up the other kids so
they wouldn't be late to school,

FRANCE HAD FIRST NEWSPAPER
Founded In 1882 in the Reign Of King
Louis XIII.

To France belongs the credit of
publishing the first regular newspa-
per. This paper, which was called
The Gazette of France" was founded
in 1882 in the reign of Louis XIII, by
'Theophrastus Renaudot
In England the first newspaper
was published in 1862 by Nathaniel
Butter. The name of the sheet is un-
certain. In 1856 the first Dutch paper
was printed. 1t contained two small
folio pages Of news. In the imperial
library at st. Petersburg are two
copies of the first Russian newspaper,
which have the date 1903. There are
also some proofs of the same paper
on which are corrections written in
the hand of Peter the great. This
monarch took great interest in the
paper, and personally superintendent
its editorial composition.
The first paper established in North
America was the Boston Newsletter,
which first was issued April "a, 1904.
This paper was printed on sheet
~ inches by eight and contained two
columns of news. 1t survived UNI
til 1776. 1t advocated the cause of
the British government at the out
break of the revolution.

TRULY A WONDERFUL MEMORY
Feats of MacauIay That Seem Almost
Beyond Belief.

The many stories told of Macaulay's
almost portentous memory have been
related too often to bear repetition.
says writer. Not few of them are
on seemingly certain authority. Will
liam II. Prescott, who met Macaulay
about 1850, has told us some interest
Ing things of his memory. | shall
mention but one. This was related to
Prescott by Henry Hallam, who said
that Lord Jeffrey had once told him
that having tripped up Macaulay in
a quotation from Paradise Lost two
days after Macaulay came to him and
said, You will not catch me again in
the Paradise At which Jeffrey
opened the volume and took him up
In great many passages at random,
in all of which he went on correctly
repeating the original Was it not q
miraculous tour d'esprit? Macaulay
does not hesitate to say now that he
thinks he could restore the first six
or seven books of the Paradise in
case they were lost"
There can be no doubt of the truth
of this and many of the other stories
told of Macaulay's memory. He was
a man of splendid talents. His knowl-
edge of English history was unsur-
passed by his contemporaries.

Wanted a Verdict.

A New York judge, who likes pun,
and also likes to potter around the
house." was busying himself with a
bottle of gold paint and brush, gid
ing various articles of furniture under
his wifes direction. What about this
little chair?" he asked, pausing before
one of those highly ornamental but
useless pieces of parlor decoration.
do you want me to give it rub?"
His wife hesitated a moment, because
she was thinking of painting it light
green tint, as that color seemed so
cool to her for summer, and she did
not answer. Come, hurry up" urged
the Judge, posing the brush in a judi
cial manner. What do you say
guilty or not guilty?"

A TIME TO SAVE.
Always Well to Make Preparation for
Rainy Day.

Soaring bank clearings, heavy realty
transactions, bank deposits and
healthy business conditions tell a tale
of prosperity. This prosperity knows
no classes, for 1t embraces all. The
laborer is well paid The business
man finds his affairs on the right
side of the ledger. There is a les
son In 1t.
In time of peace prepare for war.
In the days of prosperity prepare for
adversely. The people of this country
are living in the sunshine of finan-
cial ease and industrial activity; but
the proverbial rainy day is somewhere
ahead. This is a time to prepare for
1t.
The man who has not yet learned to
accumulate something, and to add
daily to the sum total of his accumu-
lation, is providing future discomfort
Tor himself The time to accumulate
is when money is easily made. The
habit of saving, once formed, is a
habit that will grow with years. Every
man who has an earning capacity can
save something If he will. To do
so means to live inside instead Of
beyond ones income. Living within
MS income does mot argue that a man
is stingy. He is simply thrifty, saving
and provident, instead of being reck-
less, wasteful and improvident. The
iatter Is sin, and the former
virtue

He Never Hove "Gampy."

"Gampy" Butterfield of East Vas
salboro, Me-, was a shrewd horse
trader to the day of his death. He
was slightly deaf, and used his deaf
ness in his business to no small de-
gree.
One day he sold an old horse to a
neighboring farmer, who thought he
had found great bargain. He
changed his mind, however, when, af-
ter driving his new purchase few
miles the beast emitted series of
explosions, strongly resembling the
exhaust of locomotive.
Straightway he drove back to Cam
py," who was sharpening a knife in
his dooryard, his son Abner turning
the grindstone. The disgruntled pur-
chaser began long TRADE, which was
perfectly audible to the old man, who,
however, simulated great deafness and
finally remarked, "Hay?"
you're a skim" howled his neigh
bor
"Hay?"
81 say you're skin: This boss IS
got the heaves!"
"Hay?"
Hes got the heaves! Heaves,
heaves, heaves!"
The old man looked at him calmly.
Then, indicating his son, he said gent
ly, Never hove me. Hove Abner

Labrador Spruce.

In the Vicinity of this camp we saw
some of the largest spruce timber that
we came upon in the whole journey
across Labrador. Some of these trees
were fully % inches in diameter at
the butt and perhaps so to 60 feet in
height. These large trees were very
scattered, however, and too few to be
of commercial value. For the most
part the trees that we met with were
six to eight, and, occasionally, ten
inches through, scrubby and knotted.
In Labrador trees worth the cutting
are always located near streams in
sheltered valleys-Outing Magazine.

MiIady,s Slippers at $40.

effects arc, made to custom measure

clusiveness Of design a guarantee is
