NOW THE WEIGHT TEST.

At fashionable weekend parties
it is the custom now to weigh the
guests on their arrival and on their
departure. There should be gain
Of several pounds.
Some hosts judge their cooks
skill by the result of these weight
tests. If the guests lose on week
end visit the cook is plainly worth
less. If they gain a pound or so the
man must have pleased them with
his connections. If their avcrag,
gain is three or four pounds then
the cook is treasure and may be
promised an advance in 1908.
The weighing custom arose at
Sandringham, whore the king of
England supcrintcnds personally
the weighing Of all guests. The
king boasts that he has put as much
as nine pounds on Il man in week
end visit Of two DAYS.

The Bow Who Fell Down.

At Ausburg, In Bavaria, they have
some curious laws and ordinances.
An American family from Wisconsin
were stoppiu. there last December,
and one OF the sons, a boy 10 years
old, slipped on the icy sidewalk one
day. He was at once arrested and
taken into court on the charge that
he had fallen down to make trouble
for other folR2. 1t was held that when
the boy fell down a number of people
stopped 70 see II he had been hurt.
Also that the shopkeeper before
whose door he had fallen felt humlH-
ated over the circumstance. >lso,
that he frightened horse. Also, that
when a policeman came up he could
not talk 'srman to him. The case
was tried in court, and the boy who
fell down instead of standing up was

WHEN HILL GOT MAD
There Were Things Doing" in the
Offices He Controlled.

Ordinarily one of the quietcst
men in the world, he has. when un.
duly provoked, a temper that would
blast all in his way. st. Paul still
tells with glee the story Of an oc-
cason when, maddened by the per-
sistcnt bad service of the Bell Tele-
phone company there, he tore its
instrument from the wall, threw it
out into the backyard, and kicked it
TO pieces. On another occasion,
when, according to his notion,
things were going all wrong in the
Great Northern Offices, he made a
Journey Of improvement" that is
still remembered with a shudder.
He went from department to de-
partmcnt, kicking open the doors as
he Travelled, and sending the unfor-
tunatc employees, from the heads of
bureaus TO Office boys, in terrorizcd
flight before him. One door resist

DEATH PREDICTIONS.

DIR. Lapponi, the pope's physician,
who died December :, 1906, was a
firm believer in psychological phe-
nomcna, and held the conviction
that prcscntmcnts and omcns have
a real basis in spiritual conscious
ness For three months before he
died he regarded himself as proof
of the fact. He visited patient in
one of the Roman hospitals, and
told the man that he would be bet

patient TO the nurse. aftcrward, "thc

The Value Of Water.

Medically, the internal use of water
does more good than its external USE
The man who drinks from pint to
a quart OF clean pure water the first
thing in the morning on getting out of
bed VIII DE in better health than the
man who uses water only externally
and rarely drinks water straight. The
best way to do is to take a clean wa
ter bath both inside and outside every
morning, and during the warm wealth
er every evening also 1t will bring
sleep more effectually than all the
morphine or other drugs. 1t will
cleanse the system better than the
contents of any drug store. A bath
