Playinq.

To most people who have had real
childhood, not cramped by overwork,
physical or mental, or starved by sor-
didness or filed with an intellectually
beyond their years, "Alice's Adven-
lures In Wonderland" is not far
afeld, the children of Kenneth Gra-
hame's Golden Age" are real people,
and "Peter Pan" is more than a de-
ligh*ful play. Lewis Carroll and Mr..
Grahame and Mr.. Barrie have all told
the truth, because with real children
things are always being made be-
liey,s" Just little different from what
they actually are. Playing house is a
fg tree where your roof is made by
broad leaves and where wide branches
make your floor, your successive sto-
ries, your easy stairways; playing ship
on sofa Or in an invalid's chair;
playing street cars with chairs for
horses and quarreling as to which child
should be conductor and which driver
that was before the days Of electric
ity; playing that you are horse eat
ing hay in your stall, "a real horse,
you know" as a child said to me last
summer; playing wild animals In the
most grewsome places until you are
paralyzed with terror and afraid Of
yourself in the dark; making believe
in every instance that you are grown
up or different from what you really
are-that is a wonderfully rich life

making the round Of his tenants cot

The Innkeeper Was Determined Fes-
senden Should Appear.
One night while eX-Secretary Of the
Treasury Fessenden was on political
mission to the northern part Of Maine
he stopped at small hotel.
In the center Of the house was big
stove that warmed two rooms. In one
Of the apartments Judge Fessenden
established himself and prepared to
take proper comfort during the even

Ed Wiggone Of Maysville, she be in de

FeSsendeen."
Tell Mr.. Wiggin I'll be in little
later" said Judge Fessenden, turning
another leaf in his book.
The landlord went out He returned
in a moment Mr. Wiggone she send
his compliments. an she say dat she
wan Mr. Fessendeen right away"
The interruption just at that mo-
ment rather nettled the judge. who
was in no way accustomed to dictator
ship he sent back such sharp re-
ply that it was easily seen that the
landlord was cut by bis asperity. In
just thirty seconds the landlord was
back. Judge Fessenden raised his
eyes to find the man staring at him
with look Of desperate resolve. With
suppressed excitement in his tones the
tall landlord spoke.
Mr.. Wiggone say she wan see Mr..
Fessendeen quick, an she CUES O. de
house, an say she gon to see him"
Forthwith the big landlord swooped
down Or the astonished gentleman,
seized him. tucked him under his arm
and strobe across into the room of the

landlord, rs matter Of fact as though
he had just delivered pitcher Of ice

NOT GOOD PATIENTS.
DOCTORS Are Hard to Manage, Says a
Trained Nurse,

Doctors Are Hard to Manage, Says a
Trained Nurse.
81 suppose it is treason to my supe-
rior officer to say so. but doctors are
certainly not easy patients to man
age" remarked the trained nurse. "At
least, this has always been MY expert
ence, and most nurses, you will find,
agree with ME in the matter. | have
recently been nursing physician
+, Trough typhoid. and my experience
with him was typical Of the cases Of
the profession in general.
Doctors know altogether too much
for their own peace Of mind, you see.
Each new symptom is recognized. and
if it Is an unfayorable one, why. the
patients weakened condition usually
leads him to lay great stress upon it.
Then, since he has always been in a
position to issue orders to the nurse,
he cannot easily bring himself to take
orders from her, and he is disposed to
criticise and take exception to treat
ment which the ordinary patient re-
ceives as q matter Of course.
"But perhaps the most troublesome
thing Of all is the mania which the
doctor has for taking his temperature.
If he has a moderately high fever and
is allowed to use the thermometer as
often as be wishes he can fret and
worry over the result enough to send
his temperature up materially. More
than once rather than exasperate a
physician patient by refusal to let
him have the thermometer and rather
at the same time than let him know
just how high his fever was | have
dropped the instrument just as | was
in the act Of handing 1t to him. Of
course I apologize for my carelessness
at such times, and the regret really
does not have to be all assumed, for l
am at the expense Of buying myself q
new thermometer.
"At one time l had an Inaccurate in
strument, which never registered high
enough, and used to call it my doc
tors thermometer. By little dexter
ity could substitute this for the one
actually used myself and the en-
couragingly low temperature it would
show would greatly please the patient"

Tie Paris Walters Trick.

IT was in :; Paris cafe" said the
American tourist. when there was a
sudden quarrel not far away, and l
suspended my eating, as did every
body else. to see what the trouble was.
It appeared that one of my country
men, whom I had not noticed in enter
ing, had dined at table not far away,
and when be received his check he
handed the waiter 4 ten dollar gold
piece. The waiter put the coin into
his mouth and made change for s.
only. The Yankee kicked and swore
there was 4 swindle, but the waiter
took the S5 from his mouth and held
1t up and said:
"'See! 1t is here. 1t is the coin he
gave me. IS it not for him to apollo
gize?'
1T looked that way to me, but mT
countryman knew 4 thing or two. He
grabbed the rascal by the throat and
choked his mouth open, and. 10, ten
dollar gold piece dropped to the floor.
The fellow had the S5 in his mouth to
work the trick, and when got to
thinking the thing over l remembered
that it had been successfully worked
on me a dozen times over"-Chicago

TRIPLE EXTRACT.
Process by Which the Odor Of Flowers
Is Obtained

Process by Which the Odor Of Flowers
Is Obtained.
Flowers that are to be used IL the
manufacture o. perfumes are always
gathered at nightfall or quite early in
the morning. when the dew is upon
them. Before they are gathered, how
ever, receptacles are prepared for them
in the shape Of large frames. over
which are stretched cotton cloths we'll
saturated with olive oil or almond oil.
The cut flowers are brought in and are
thicE'.v spread on a frame. Then an
other frame is fired over it. and that
in turn is we'll spread with flowers.
Then a third frame is fitted over the
second spread Of flowers, and thus the
work goes Oh until huge pile Of
flowers is prepared.
This flower heap is left for two days,
at the end Of which time the flowers
are removed from the frames and re-
placed by fresh ones. The frames are
filed and emptied every two days IN
III wv "SShS u1h psiSSSN. = LII l1AS
cloths are detached from the frames
and placed under great pressure. and
all the oil is pressed out of them. The
oil thus obtained is heavily charged
with the fragrance Of the flowers, and
it is mixed with double its weight Of
very pure rectiied spirit and put in a
vessel called "digester," which is
simply porcelain or block tin kettle
that fits in another kettle When in
use the outer vessel is filed with boil
ing water.
In this vessel the mixture of oil and
spirits "digests" for three or four days.
Then, after having cooled. the spirit Is
decanted into another vessel, holding
the same quantity of fragrant oil. and
the digesting process is repeated. Aft
er being thus digested three times the
spirit is found TO have taken up enough
Of the perfume, and it is then decanted
from the oil for the third and last tine
through q tube, one end Of which is
filed with cotton wool to serve as
filter. Tie fluid thus prepared is call
ed triple extract"
