William Morris In Court.

In one of the London police courts
over which Mr.. Newton presided-the
Thames, l think - Morris protested
against the magistrates sentence on
his comrade and called out "Shame"
in court and, being roughly hustled by
the police, resisted them and was in
stantly arrested and placed in the
dock. The magistrate, in entire igno-
rance of the identity Of the unusual
looking prisoner, asked Norris who he
was, and he replied, II. am William
Morris, artist and poet pretty well
known throughout Europe, 1 believe"
This had the effect of bringing about
his immediate release, but Morris said
afterward that it was the only time he
had had to bounce about himself, and
he would never do it again.-Walter

Would Choose His Company.

In the west, some twenty years ago.
there lived good man who gave up a
part of his time to teaching the In
dams the Christian faith. On one of
his trips he stopped at the ranch of a
we'll to do and very religious Swede
and requested nights lodging.
The Swede thought a great deal of
the missionary and disliked to offend
him, but he also disliked extremely
having Il pack of dirty, greasy Indians
hanging about his place, so, after much
hemming and having, he stated his OBJ
jections.
But these Indians are Christians,
my good brother, and If you can't
abide with them for a single night here
on earth how do you expect to dwell
in heaven with them through all eter-
nity?" inquired the indignant mission
airy.
The Swede was perpleXed, but, aftel
thoughtfully scratching his head mo-
ment, he said, THE Bible says that in
my fathers house are many mansions,

GEESE IN BERLIN.
Rigid Inspection of tho Fowls Imported
Into the City.

Rigid inspection of the Fowls Imported
Into the City.
The traffic in geese at Berlin amounts
to nearly 100000 year. AS the do
nestle supply is wholly inadequate, a
special goose train of from fifteen to
forty cars arrives daily from the Rus
sian frontier. Each car is specially
built and carries about 1000 geese.
There is a rigid inspection by sanitary
officials Immediately upon the arrival
of the train.
Should it be found that single
goose has died or been i'll of q conta
gious disease in transit the entire car
load is quarantined for eight days. If
during this period of quarantine an
other goose should die, the quarantine
is extended for eight days, at cost of
about $500 to the owners. The penalty
attaching to the bringing in of diseased
geese makes the owners extremely
careful to import only sound and
healthy fowls. The geese which are
plump and ready for market are sold
to dealers at the close Of the inspec.
ton. The rest, comprising the great
majority, go to feeding farms in the
suburbs Of the city to be fattened for
market.
There is special market near the
great market place at which bracken-
namely, geese injured en- route, but
having no disease-are sold at n re-
duced price. Twenty-one different va.
rieties Of the Russian goose are COM
mercially recognized, and the whole
sale price varies from A to 60 cents a
bird.-Chlcago Record Herald.

JapS Never Take Cold.

There are many public baths in
Japan, but nearly every private house
has one either in the house itself or
adjacent to it.
The ordinary bath consists of a
large wooden tub oval in shape and
fitted with cover. Before he enters
the tub the bather thoroughly fathers
himself from head to foot and washes
the suds off by means of a wooden
ladle or dipper. lie then sits in the
tub immersed up to his chin for
ser eral minutes, enduring degree of
heat by which European would be
we'll nigh PAL boiled.
When Japan first began to study
the methods OF western nations the
excessive heat of the baths was
strongly condemned, and a law was
made that the water in the public
baths should be only moderately heat
ed. This caused great discomfort, so
committee composed of European
and Japanese medical men was ap
pointed to decide the question. The
verdict was in favor of the national
custom, which was pronounced to be
not only harmless, but beneficial.
The high temperature of the water
was said to open the pores of the skin
thoroughly, even without the use of
soap, and healthy action of the skin
and cleanliness we're secured which it
was impossible to get with any
amount of washing in cold or so
called hot baths.

ARSENIC EATERS.
Effects of the Drug on the Styrians,
Who Make IL.

eating of arsenic is common in
Syria" said Alois E. Steinzierl Of
Vienna, a manufacturer of chemicals
and drugs. "The Styrians say that ar
senic makes one plump and comely
and gives, one strength for great eXer-
tons, such as running or mountain
climbing. Syria, which is in Austria,
gives the world vast quantities of ar
senic The manufacture of this drug
is indeed the main Syrian industry.
They who make arsenic eat it, as a
rule for they say that only the arsenic
eater can withstand the arsenic fumes.
These makers and eaters of the drug
are comely. They have a clear color
and look much younger than they are.
"The foreman in a certain factory
told me that in his boyhood, when he
first came to that plant, he was ad-
vised to begin to eat arsenic lest his
health suffer from the fumes. He did
begin, and his first two or three small
doses gave him a sharp pain. like a
burn, in the stomach, and this pain
was followed by tremendous hunger
and violent disagreeable excitement
But as his doses increased in freCuen-
cy and size their effect became pleas
ant. There was no longer pain or eX-
element. On the contrary. there were
ravenous appetite and mood of joy
Gus activity wherein the youth could
do three mems work.
"This chap by the time he got to be
thirty was taking four grains of ar
senic day. He looked at thirty with
his clear pink and white color, no more
than twenty-three. He was as robust
as blacksmith. But he said he would
die at forty-fve or so, that being the
age at which all the Syrian arsenic
eaters die. Washington Herald.

AN ANCIENT BIBLE.
Valuable Manuscript Treasured In
the Cottonian Library.

the Cottonan Library.
In the Cottonan library in England
is an old manuscript copy of Il part of
the Bible in Latin. This was used at
the coronation of English sovereigns
300 years before the "stone of des-
tiny" was brought from Scone to West
Minister by Edward l. In other words,
the use of this Bible for the purpose
in question dated back to the year
1000.
The Bible is q quarto Of 217 leaves,
containing the four gospels, and seems
from the style of the writing and il
Limitations, which are very beauti-
full, to have been made about the end
of the ninth century.
The Testament escaped destruction
in the fire at Ashburnham House in
1881, of which 1t bears evidence on its
crumpled leaves and ruined margins.
There is some evidence that the son
of Edward the Elder, Athelstan the
Glorious, who was king of the west
Saxons from 925 to $40, owned this
Bible and presented it to the church
of Dover.-Philadelph Record.

sNAlLS FOR FOOD.
Stores Devoted Entirely to Them In
Many Cities Of Europe.


Many Cities Of Europe.
France is the premier snail produc-
ing nation, although Austria, I~varla
and Switzerland have thousands of
snail farms, where the famous oscar
gots are raised and fatteued on vine
leaves. The demand for snails in
France is far too great for the supply
to be left to chance, and thus 1t comes
about that snail farming is an impor-
FAINT industry. Paris alone consumes
millions between September and May,
when these little creatures are at their
best.
In great cities Of Europe are stores
devoted entirely to them, each orna-
mented by an immense gilt snail over
the door as sign. Huge tubs of
snails in the rough are displayed, and
there are besides dishes of carefully
prepared mollusks all ready for eating.
These have been cooked, extracted
from their shells and minced. The
meat is then mixed with butter, chop
ped parsley and herbs, and the shells,
trimmed and made attractive, are re-
filed with this prepared paste.
The most popular snails today come
from Dijon and Macon, in Burgundy,
where they are fed on vine leaves, and
the parks, as the local snail farms are
called, open their gates in the month
of August when the little creatures
bestir themselves actively. - Chicago
