The Popping Stone.

"The popping stone" marks the spot
where Sir Walter Scott asked Miss
Carpenter to marry him. 1t is situated
in the beautiful valley Of the Irthing,
at Gilsland an inland watering place
near Carlisle. The popping stone is
visited by many thousands during the
summer months, and it is said many a
laggard lover has had his courage
screwed up to popping point at this ro-
mantle spot. In the immediate neigh
borhood may also be seen "Mumps

MAcARoNl IN ITALY.
TO the Working People This Food ls
a Luxury.


Every one pictures the italian as
eating macaroni. What II tell
you that the Italians, taking them as n
people. do not eat macaroni. and yet
this is virtually true. Macaroni in Italy
costs to cents a pound, and it Is
too costly for common use. 1t is about
as accurate to say that the Italians
I've on macaronl as that the Ameri-
cans live on turkey. Macaroni to the
working italian is luxury. You often
see young fellows on q holiday in
iulging in dish in n restaurant or
before street cook stand about us
Americans would eat Ice cream. a
customary workman's dinner is II hunk
Of bread broken apart and "buttered"
with a few traces of tomato sauce. AS
for meat, it is the greatest rarity. and
the only drink they can afford Is wa
ter. which has the advantage of being
cheap and filling. The Italians Mt
home are not only temperate. but abb
stemious. Wine and beer and even
tea. coffee and chocolate are forbidden
TO them on account of the expense. In
all Italy we saw no one under the in
fuence of liquor. SO also there Is
practically no smoking. The govern
ment has a monopoly of the tobacco
business, buys It's supplies in quanti-
ties direct in America and elsewhere
and charges three prices for every
thing. The few tobacco shops keep a
piece Of smolderlng tow tied at the
doorpost, so that patrons and passers
may light their cigars by it.-Los An

Hearst Trims Bryan.

In his address William K. Hearst
said, in part:
| have come all the way from New
York to make an explanation, not an
apology, of why have ceased to call
myself a democrat and have with
drawn from the support of Bryan.
Look at this man Haskell, whom
Bryan made chairman Of the com
mittee on platform aud treasurer of
his campaign fund. This man Has
kell, known as political paymaster of
the Standard Oil, is asked by Mr.
Bryan, first, to make platform the
Standard Oil will approve Of, then to
collect from the Standard Oil the
material eXpressional of their ap-
pIoval.
Mr. Bryan has hauled down his flag
and surrendered Where, in all OF
Mr. Bryan's vacillating course, with
its ignominious conclusion, could
find an inspiration for further de-
yotion or opportunity for honorable
approval?
l have come to regard Mr. Bryan
as tricksteI, a trimmer, a traitor.
Mr. Bryan alleges that am angry at
him because he did not support me
tor the presidency at st. Louis four
years ago. That is not true. If MI
Bryan thought l was not the most
available candidate, it was his duty
to oppose me. But if Mr. Bryan
thought / was not the proper candI-
date, he should not have approached
me in New York four months ago
with a proposition to support me in
the next campaign if | would support
him in this campaign.
Thomas l.. Hisgen spoke, in part as
follows:
The hypocrisy Of Mr. Bryan and his
labor pretensions have been exposed
by Mr. Hearst, in that he showed by
.atiidavits that Mr. Bryan called
organized laborers public beggaIs,
and that he put in charge of the
financial end of his campaign a man
Gov. Haskell, who denounced labor
organizations as being a form of con
temptible fanaticism.

Why Naval Uniforms Are Blue.

Naval uniforms all the world over
pretty we'll are navy blue. The Brit
ish fashion in this matter has been the
rule with maritime people in general.
That blue was ever selected for the
kings naval service was a fortuitous
happening. When in 1747 the ques-
ton of uniform was being considered
the color selected had very like to
have been French gray laced with sill
yer. While the king was still not
quite decided he saw the Duchess of
Bedford in a riding habit of blue
faced with white and enlivened with
gold lace. 1t was revelation. Here,
the king declared. was the uniform for
his sea service officers, and no more
was heard of French gray. The navy
took to blue, and every other navy has
taken TO it since.-Pall Mall Gazette.

WOMAN'S WIT UNCERTAIN.
As When This Wife Failed to APP
preciate Hubbys Pleasantly.

"Don't always rely upon the ready
wit Of a woman" said the man who
is sometimes pleased to consider him
self an oracle. "That ready wit busi-
ness is sometimes prone to get way off.
"For example, my. wife and children
had been staying in the country for
several weeks, and I was regular with
my letters, as every loving husband
should be. Finally on the day before
my wife was to start for home 1 con-
cluded my letter to her with these
words:
"'This will be the last letter 1 will
write to you for a long. long time
"When 1 got down to my office the
next morning I found a telegram from
my wife waiting for me. What on
earth do you meanY read the dispatch.
"Later a registered letter came from
her. She had blotted almost every line
with tears What it was all about l
could not imagine.
"Then my telephone bell rang, and
when 1 answered I heard my wife's
voice speaking over the long distance
phone.
"'Oh, john said she. rs that really
you? I thought you had committed
suicide! Washington Post.

naturally suppose l came forT
"For a shave"
"Then why did you ask me If

in your chair? why didn't you go to
work at once? If some Of you BARRIERS
would cultivate a habit of lnferring
from easily ascertalned data. instead
of developing such wonderful conver-
satlonal powers, 1t would be of mate
rial aid in advancing you in your
chosen vocation and of expanding
your profits. Do you comprehend"

gan to lather the customers face in a
dazed sort of way. And he never even
asked him If he wanted brilliantine on

Remedy For Choking.

Raising the left arm as high as you
can will relieve choking much more
rapidly than the act Of humping ones
back" said a physician, land it Is
we'll that every one should know it,
for often person gets choked while
eating where there is no one near to
thump him. Very frequently at meals
and when they are at play children
get choled while eating, and the Gus
tomary manner of relieving them Is to
slap them sharply on the back. The
effect Of this is to set the obstruction
free The same thing can be brought
about by raising the left hand Of the
child as high as possible, and the re-
lief comes much more quickly. In
happenings Of this kind there should
be no alarm, for If the child sees that
older persons or parents get excited
the effect is bad. The best thing is
to tell the child to raise it's left arm,
and Immediately the difficulty passes
away"

EPICURES STUDY HOTELS.

regarding the walters, the music. the
ventilation and hundred and one
other things q casual visitor would
fail to appreciate.
For instance, Mt one restaurant only
single portions are served for one per-
son. At another. where the cooking is
equally good, half portions, nearly or
quite as large as the single portions Of
other places, are served for one per-
son. There was q little dispute at a
we'll known hotel over a mistake in an
order Of trout and chicken that made
a difference of several dollars on a
check for rather simple dinner for
two. 1t was settled "out of court" as
it were. and quite agreeably, but hotel
managers regret and try to avoid these
mistakes, especially when the customer
is a regular visitor, for they know he
never forgets the details Of his eating
and is slow to forgive an error.
Another peculiarly of diners is as to
the location of tables. Some persons
cling to one table and feel aggrieved
when they find another in their favor

tried to understand this popularity of
their patrons. but have to admit they
fail to explain it.-St Louis Republic.

GROW YOUNG ELECTRICALLY.

Paris is full of plans for living
forever these days. There IS the
Yogurt, or sour milk plan; the Rene
| Qninton, or sea water plan, the
vegetarian plan, the fiuitarian rlan,
and the Arsonval, or electric plan,
which is based on the theory that the
majority of people die from sclerosis,
or hardening of the walls of the
arteries.
Prot jacques Arsene d'Arsonva is
the originator of the theory that this
can be prevented by the application
to The system OF electric currents of
high frequency and other doctors
have taken up the idea and are
praoticing "franklinization" with
different varieties of apparatus.
According to one system the patient
sits in a chair placed on slab of
glass or other nonconducting
material. and a skeleton cylinder
made of copper wire is lowered over
him so that he seems to be sitting in
bird cage. This cage IS connected
with current passing through an
interrupting apparatus which causes
an alienation at the rate of 500
vibrations a second.
When the current is applied
torrent of electric fluid is poured
over the patient. His body becomes
covered with sparks from to 10
inches long, accompanied by sharp
cracklings, which are even described
by some observers as slight detona-
tions. The ''franklinized" body
seems to be the center of fireworks
set piece.
All the while the patient feels moth
ing. Seated easily in his chair, he
can talk, smoke, read or sleep. When
he is let out of the cage, at the end
of thirty minutes or so, it is said the
arterial tension has been increased.
After SIX treatments the pressure
usually returns to the normal stand
ard The treatment can theu be dis
continued for a time.
The cure is not permanent. What
the patient gains is a temporary re-
newal of physiological youth. When
the effects begin to wear out he can
have the treatment renewed.
The cage apparatus is called a
solenoid, but some of the electro
curists prefer to use a spiral coil,
which is the invention of DR.. Guile
minot. This consists or series OF
conoentric copper rings placed on
each side of chair, with which it
looks like the wheeled chairs used by
some cripples. Each group of rings
is connected with an Interrupting
machine, and an advantage is that in
some maladies a stronger current can
be applied 20 one side of the body
than to the other. This is'sometimes
important in paralytic cases.
Besides arterial sclerois the electric
system of DR.. d'Arsonval is extern
siveIy used for neurasthenia. Its
application is based on the theory
that the human organism partaken
of the nature Of the storage battery
and that nervous collapse is due to
unequal electric charges or to exhaus-
tion of the supply of electric fluid in
the body.
The application of the high frequ
ency current is supposed to remedy
this by fully and evenly charging the
system with electric force, thus re-
storing tone aud balance to the brain
and nerves. In many cases the
inhalation of ozone is secured
simultaneously with the electric
charging by placing in the mouth of
the patient a thick bunch of coarse
grass. This, it appears, under the
influence of the current transforms
the oxygen which is inhaled into
ozone.
