SEA AND LAND.
The Way They Meet and CIash and
Finally Harmonic.


In "The Wonderful Adventures of
Nils" translated from the Swedish of
Selma Lagerlof by Velma Swanston
Howard, is the following pretty de-
scription of how sea and land meet:
You see that sea and land can meet
tn many different ways. In many
places the land comes down toward
the sea with fiat, tufted meadows, and
the sea meets. the land with flying
sand, which piles up in mounds and
drifts. 1t appears as though they both
disliked each other so much that they
only wished to show the poorest they
possessed. But it can also happen
that when the land comes toward the
sea it raises wall OF hills in front of
it, as though the sea were something
dangerous. When the land does this,
the sea comes up to it with fiery wrath
and beats and roars and lashes against
the rocks and looks as If 1t would tear
the land hill to pieces.
But In Blekinge 1t Is altogether differ
ent when sea and land meet. There
the land breaks itself up into points
and islands and islets, and the sea d.
vides itself into fiords and bays and
sounds, and it is perhaps this which
makes 1t look as If they must meet In
happiness and harmony.
Think now first and foremost Of the
seal Far out it lies desolate and emp
ty and big and has nothing else to do
but to roll its gray pillows. When it
comes toward the land 1t happens
across the first obstacle. This it imme-
diately overpowers, tears away every
thing green and makes 1t as gray as
itself. Then it meets still another
obstacle. With this 1t does the same
thing. And still another-yes, the
same thing happens to this also. 1t is
stripped and plundered as II 1t had
fallen into robbers hands. Then the
obstacles come nearer and nearer to-
gether, and then the sea must under
stand that the land sends toward 1t
her littlest children in order to move it
to pity. 1t also becomes more friendly
the farther In 1t comes, rolls It's waves
less high, moderates its storms, lets
the green things stay in cracks and
crevices, separates itself into small
sounds and inlets and becomes at last
so harmless In the land that little
boats dare venture out upon it 1t GER
tainly cannot recognize itself, SO mild
and friendly has it grown.

PRESENCE OF MIND.
A Madhouse Doctors Experience With
His Crazy Cooks.

A Madhouse Doctors Experience With
His Crazy Cooks.
A celebrated Scotch physician tells
story of a madhouse doctor whose
presence Of mind alone saved his life:
"a great friend of mine was for
considerable time the medical superin-
tendent Of lunatic asylum near Glas-
gov.
zone night In making his customary
rounds he had occasion to visit the pa
tents in the kitchen, who were pre-
pairing the dinner. There were seven
of them, all big, sturdy fellows, who
were believed to be harmless. The
keeper only looked in upon them now
and again, feeling that his constant
presence was unnecessary.
"The doctor unlocked the iron barred
door Of the kitchen and went in
among the lunatics.
There were five large boilers con-
tanning scalding water ready for max
ing the days dinner for the patients
Zone Of the lunatics pointed at the
boilers full of hot water and, laying
his hand upon the doctors shoulder,
said, Doctor, you'll make a fine pot
Of broth And the words had no soon
er been uttered than the other six mad
men shouted in a voice Of delight
Just the thing and, selling the doc
tor, were in the very act Of putting
him into one Of the large boilers OF
scalding water when the doctor had
the presence Of mind to say, but not Q
second too soon:
"'Capital BROTH But it would TASTE
better If l took my clothes off,
"The madmen, with a yell of delight
said Yes and the doctor asked then
to wait a moment while he went ant
took his clothes off. But as soon as h
got out of the kitchen he turned thu
key in the door and ordered the keep
er to see to the lunatics being put un
der restraint.
'sThe doctors presence Of mind savet
him, it is true, from terrible death
but he died shortly after raving mad
The experience had destroyed his rea
son."

HOLLAND MUSTARD.
Some of the Virtues Ascribed to 1t and
One Way to Make It.


Hollanders use enormous quantities
of mustard and thrive on the condi-
ment. There is a small spot in Overys-
sci, | think it is near Goor, where the
land slopes gently down to the river
Ijsel and is brown gray clay. This is
fashioned into the cutest little jugs
you ever saw, holding about a pint
each. and the genuine Dutch mustard.
made only in that pocket borough, ac-
cording to Il secret process handed
down for many generations, is hermet-
ically sealed therein. 1t will keep for
years and is as delicious as the finest
confection. 1t is butter, cheese and
continent to the HollandeH who can
afford it. And there is no other place
on earth where that mustard can be
bought.
You might ask, "Why do the Hol-
landers eat so much mustard?" The
answer is: The Holland mustard is a
most delightful stomach stimulant. ct
makes the food slide down." 1t cures
the worst cases Of dyspepsia. 1t keeps
the liver in fine shape. 1t is an anti
dote for the most deadly poison-cor-
rosive sublimate. 1t is In large doses
a mountaineering emetic. 1t is the only
counterirritant handed down to US by
our grandmothers-the mustard plas-
ter. The Dutch girls use 1t sparingly
on their velvet cheeks to give rosy
complexion. When a person Is down
and nearly out drink made Of pure
mustard and oil will fetch him around
A mustard "stoop" is certain cure
for catarrh in the nasal cavity.
Here is one Dutch method Of pre-
pairing mustard for the table: Mix
equal portions Of black and white
seeds and grind to fine powder. Boil
this in the best vinegar till thoroughly
mixed. Crate some fresh horseradish
