Globe Trottsr Tells What . Hit H<
Made IN Sweden.
Il never properly understood 1.-The
value of >chestnuts until tried them
on the people over in Europe" said a
retired general who had juts returned
from ~trot around the globe. Why
/ made myself an everlasting reputa-
ton for brilliancy by relating over
there some of the jokes SO old and
moss-gr0wn they would he received
with groans here. When I was in
Sweden it was my good fortune to be
invited to go hunting with the king;
who, in spite of his royalty, is a very
charming man.
I'VE came in from long run one
day, hot and tired. Slim glasses hold
ing cool drink were passed around.
l emptied mine in one swallow, and
as | passed it back for more, said:
'Well, gentlemen, would not sell my
thirst for $40 A cry of delight went
up from all the men in the room. They
repeated it over and over, and now
that venerable joke is the last and
most fashionable slang in Stockholm -
And then he went on to tell about a
little man who lives in Washington,
but who did not always spend his
summers on the continent or travel
with valet. This little man, whose
name is no Smith, has Il reverence for
everything new and no reverence for
anything old. They were together in
Genoa. Here" said the guide to the
little man who name is not Smith,
here lived the great Christopher Co.
lombo."
who lives here?' asked the little
man whose name is not Smith Who
lives here?'
lie great christopher Colombo lived
here, sir, re great discoverer of Amer
ique lived here 400 years ago!"
That's all right" said the little
man. but who cares about 400 years
ago? what l want to know is who
lives here now?"

WHERE CICERO CURED HIS GOVT


Ancient Mud Baths Of Lake Aauan
Still in Use.
Signor de Marinis, the we'll known
Italian deputy, has taken a leaf out of
the book of his illustrious confrere,
Marcus Tillius Cicero, bathing in the
mud of Lake Aguan, as Cicero did two
thousand years ago, in order to got rid
Of the govt.
The mud of the standing waters In
the district west OF Naples was IA
nous from early times for the relief
OF arthritis; the luxurious high nvers
Of the Imperial days knew It's efficacy,
and no doubt did their cure there in
much the same rough and ready fash.
ion as their modern representative
does now.
The district in which the beneficial
mud OF Lake Aguan is deposited was
known In the old days as Campi Phle-
graei, the Phlaegraean Fields, and 1t
lies between Naples and Cumae, with
PuteoH PozzuolD on the Beashore. It
is one Of the most interesting parts of
Campania, and, Of course, highly vol
canic, as is the whole shore of the
Bay of Naples.
It is no doubt to the sulphur and
other deposits that the mud of the lit.
tile lakes on the promontory of Cumae
owes it's health giving properties, and
as Nature works much In tho same
way now in that region ~ she did in
the time OF the Caesars the effect
