jefferson Stopped II.

The custom of presidents of the
United States reading their mes
sages to congress prevailed up to the
first term of Thomas Jefferson, who
discontinued it. Various explana-
tions for Jefferson's departure from
the custom of Washington and John
Adams have been advanced, the
most popular being that Jefferson
felt that it savored of royalty, see
ing that the king of England went
in person to parliament and read his
address from the throne. Another
explanation was that Jefferson's
voice was notably weak. Jefferson
himself said in making the change,
81 have had principal regard to the
convenience of the legislature, to
the economy of time, to their relief
from the embarrassment of imme-
date answers on subjects not yet
fully before them and to the bene-
fits thence resulting to the public
affairs"

o. K. and Its Origin.

There have been many theories
advanced as to the origin of the ex-
preston 0. h. Some of them have
been partly correct, and some have
not. Over century ago a great
deal of the best rum and tobacco
came from Aux Cayes, which was
pronounced o. K, and the best of
anything was said to be o. X. The
meaning of this phrase is still re-
tanned and figures largely in the
business world. No doubt many
have thought that 0. K. came from
"Oll Korrect." During the cam
paign of General Jackson his en-
emies did all in their power to in
jure him in the eyes of the people.
Once he signed some papers and
wrote after his name, ''This is O.
r" The Democrats took up the
phrase and said that it was an alb
breviation of the customary indorse-
ment of the general, as ''Oll Kor-
rect" They put it on their BAN
ners, and the meaning "Oll Kor-
rect" stuck to the letters.

Tartars' Holy Well.

A holy well or spring away up on
a hillside near Kazan and overlook
ing the river is believed by the Tar
tar villagers to possess extraordi-
nary healing properties. The spring
flows into q rocky basin about ten
feet square and three feet deep.
The water is pure, clear crystal,
sparkling in the sunshine, and the
marvellous thing is that the bottom
of the well is thickly covered with
silver coins thrown in by sufferers
who came to be cured by the wa
ter, to propitiate the spirit of the
we'll. Although the tank is only
three feet deep and no watch is
kept on the spot, no one has ever
been known to touch or attempt to
take any of the coins.-London

jap Sion Of Fidelity.

"The Japs are fine race" said
a globe trotter, "but there's one
thing about them l don't like. The
married women all blacken their
teeth with a paste made out Of
sweet oil and SCOT. When young
married woman gives you smile,
instead of being ravished with a
glimpse as of snow on roses-pearly
teeth cleaning between red lips
you look into a black hole. You
frown. You turn away in disgust.
The idea is that the married wom-
ems black teeth, making them un-
attractive, keeps them faithful to
their husbands. Seems to me it
must have the opposite effect on
the husbands" New York Press.

Byron's Goose.

One Of the odd things remember
ed of Byron was his Careful OBJ
servance of English customs abroad,
customs maintained with an accom-
paniment of abuse of his native
land. He religiously ate plum pud-
ding at Christmas and roast goose
on Michaelmas day. An acquaint-
ance chronicled a droll consequence
of this last fancy. Buying large
goose at Pisa early enough to fatten
it for Michaelmas, the poet proceed
ed to feed it himself daily. Alas!
GAS the fateful day arrived he
found himself so fond of the crea-
ture that he determined to spare its
life and buy another in its place.
The respited fowl now began to
travel with him, being swung In a
cage under his carriage"

MORBID JEALOUSY.
A Disease That, Unless II Is KILLED,
Will Ruin Any Life.

When a man is afraid to remark
at the breakfast table, even mildly
and casually, that, from what he
had heard, Cleopatra was beauti-
full woman it is fair to assume that
the specter of constant jealousy
dwells in that household. When a
wife fears to look at the moon be-
cause she pay be accused of admir-
ing the man in it the husband needs
to be gently reminded that he is
taking a very rapid short cut to kill
ing the love he seems to hold so
sacred. Love is fed by confidence,
trust, faith and serene, restful reli-
ance, but morbid Jealousy is pol
son of doubt, suspicion and injus-
tice that dulls the love it does not
deaden.
Jealousy is disease that can be
cured only by the object, rot by
any one else in all the world. No
matter how gentle, kind, forbear:ng,
forgiving and forgetting the object
of it may be, this in itself will not
cure the attacks. The subject
whose heart is thus swayed by fierce
gales of jealousy must first awaken
to the folly of it, the injustice of it,;
must be conscious of the trail of
bitterness and unhappiness it brings
to both, must realize the cruel con-
tinued assault on the tolerance,
love, loyalty and patience of the
other and when the next attack
comes seek by strength of will, by
force of character, by every weapon
in the armory of the soul, to kill
the feeling. Jealousy must be killed
in the thought. In the mind, the
battle-ground of the soul, must the
fight of determination be waged.
In the thought must the jealousy
be neatralized by faith, conquered
by justice and transformed By trust
full love into restful, abiding conf
dence that only absolute proof and
certainty of just cause for jealousy
can ever reawaken. - William G.
Jordan in Delineator.

The Wrong Pocket.

The cars were packed to the doors
with suffering humanity. Suddenly
a little man standing in the aisle
thought of pickpockets and of mon
ey in his outer coat pocket. He
plunged his hand in pocket and
was somewhat shocked at encoun-
tering the fist of fat fellow pas
senger. y
"Aha!w exclaimed the little man.
"Leggo my handH'
"Pickpocket" Kissed the fat man.
"Scoundrelr" the other yelled.

ity looked up from his paper.

hands out of my pocket"

At His Wits End.

He sat in his office musing. "Now,
here are two tickets for the thaater
tonight" he said. '1f l ask Jones
to 60 with me I'm sure to find out
when get home to dinner that it's
the only thing that's been here In a
year that my wife really wants to
see, aad if l don't ask any one to 60
and plan to take her I'll learn when
it's too late to make any change
that nothing could hire her to sit
through the old piece"
He puzzled his head over the
question for an hour, and then he
tossed up quarter to decide what
be would do, although he knew he
would lose whichever way it came.

That DR.. Holmes was a typical

DRINKING WATER.
To Be Of Any Use It Must Be Pure o.
Comparatively So.

Water is the universal solvent,
and it preserves this property IN
side the human body as we'll as with
out. 1t is therefore useful, in
deed indispensable, substance. Bat
it must be taken with discretion.
If one drinks hard water-one
already saturated with saits-lt
does little good, for all its energy
must be expended in removing from
the system the mineral matter
which it already holds in solution,
and the animal waste is left where
it was before.
A drinking water to be of any
use must be pure or comparatively
so. Distilled water is the best drink,
but unless it is aerated-shaken up
so as to absorb ART is fat and
most unpa!atable.
Rain water in the country is dis
titled water and if properly collect
ed and stored is excellent for drink
ing purposes. The first fall should
be allowed to run awav. for it con-
tains the dust and other Impurities
in the air and also the bird drop
pings and dirt from the roof or 9TH
er collecting surface.
The cistern in which it is stored
should be protected from the sur
face DRAWINGS and should be tight
ly covered to keep out dust. Water
so kept is greatly preferable to well
water, which is almost never beyond
the possibility of contamination,
no matter how far it may be from
the barn or the outhouses and no
matter though it may be at a higher
level. There are often seams and
cracks in the earth which give free
way to water, and in this way the
surface washings may be carried to
the bottom of deep well long
way off and on a higher level.
Many persons will not trust any
natural supply and drink only bot
tied water, either natural or artifi-
cial. But this is not always as safe
as it seems to be. The maker OF
the artificial water may not filter it
before charging it with carbonic
acid gas, and then of course it is no
better than the water Of the town
where it is made.
The natural waters may be pure
and they may not, just as any spring
may be pure or contaminated.
Those who live in cities where the
water is filtered may safely drink 1t
if they can be sure the water sup
piled is always that which came
through the filter beds. Those in
charge of public water supplies have
been known to mix untiltered water
with the filtered or to substitute it
entirely without warning to the
users.-Youth's Companion.

uNWRITTEN LAW.
THE Code" as Il Is Understood In the
Southern States.

Southern States.
They call it 'Ethe code" in the
southern states, and to this day the
eode often takes precedence of stat
ute law among men of southern
birth.
The code is this: If man insults
you by publicly calling you a liar or
j. any other fashion you do not
knock him down on the spot, as you
would in some states, but you warn
the man that you will shoot him on
sight. The warning must be in the
presence of witnesses or in writing.
Then you go home and get your pis-
tol, and the other man presumably
does the same thing. After that
wherever you and your adversary
meet the one who sees the other
first opens fire, or if the recognition
is simultaneous it is merely ques-
ton of which can pull his pistol
quickest.
Usually one is killed or badly in
iured. But if the warning has been
given in due form it is 10 to l that
the jury will not convict the killer.
The verdict is ''self defense" or at
most Granddaughter" There Is
hardly case on record of a murder
or being hung for his share in a
duel of this kind, however one
sided.
If the cause of the quarrel has
anything to do with an insult offer
ed to a lady of the challenger's fam
lily the latter is far safer than if he
had killed dog. In most cases he
walks out Of court amid the cheers
Of the audience.
There was a ghsstly tragedy at
Oak Grove, Va. A man named
Marx quarreled with a neighbor
over an alleged insult to a young
lady. In the ensuing affray Marx
killed Taylor and two Of his friends
and seriously wounded fourth.
The coroners jury decided that
Marx had acted in self defense and
exonerated him.
To some ears this code Of the
southern states sounds wicked and
criminal to a degree. Yet the
southern code of honor is certainly
no worse than that prevailing in
the German and Austrian armies.
II a German or Austrian officer
quarrels with another of his own
rank duel must take place at once.
The insulted man is in coventry
till blood is shed. But if the insult
is from one so much higher in rank
that the other cannot challenge, the
latter is doomed to commit suicide.
The late Archduke Otto, the Aus
trian emperor's nephew, got tipsy
one night and brought crew OF
boon companions to the doors OF
his wife's suit. A young lieutenant
on duty drew his sword and swore
he would run the first man through
who touched the door handle. Otto
struck the boy in the face and then
retreated. The lieutenant could
not challenge one of royal blood.
he prepared to commit suicide.
Most happily the story came to the
emperor's ears. He telegraphed the
lieutenant and Otto to attend at
once at the Hofburg.
Then he rated Otto fercely and
ended by saying: "Iorr royal rank
precludes Lieutenant - from
challenging you. But no restric-
ton binds me-" With that he
stepped up to the archduke and
struck him a heavy blow on the
cheek with his open hand. "Now
60" he e>bade him. Then he turned
to Me Lieutenant and embraced
him. "You will receive your COM
mission as captain tonight" he said,
"and with it your exchange to an
other station" = Chicago Record

A Prize Winner.

A young woman stenographer has
taken the prize offered by a st. Louis
business mems association for the hes
suggestion for the Improvement of
that city. Her suggestion is this: Take
the lid off. Let il stay of forever.
Permit racing, saloons. and all that
will help bring business here, instead
of driving it away. Let all business
keep open day and night, Sunday and
every day. II will give employment TO
many and increase the reyenue for st.
Louis" The Phoenix Republican
thinks it is the most charitable judg-
ment to pass upon this frivolous young
creature to say that she must be very
young and giddy. No sane and sensi-
BILE person, least of all a sound bust
ness man. could consider her propo-
sition except with contempt, if NOT
adherence, for its author. The an
nouncement that a city was thoro-
ughly committed to the policy she
advocates would come as the crack Of
doom to its business interests and So
cial life. Neither cholera not yellow
fever would be more effective in driv-
ing away both capital and labor which
had any respect for themselves.
