GATHER UP THE sropWATcHEs.
Device Of Racing Judges to Prevent
Too Accurate Timing.

There's tricks in every old game"
tritely remarked John G. Fisher, coun-
ty commissioner and horseman, the
other day.
Down at Rockport track they used
to have a great system of preventing
a fast horse from getting a low mark
too early in its career. Whenever a
heat is about to be raced and 1t is de-
sired to let a horse step a fast milo
without giving him a correspondingly
fast mark the ones on the inside set
to work to get a orn on all the
stopwatches about the track. Those
stable boys know every man hat owns
a ~stopwatch, just the same as they
know every man who owns a rapid
horse. The boys are sent to the owners
of watches to borrow them, one by
one.
Then after the heat is over there's
nobody to dispute the time. Those on
the inside merely give the time as
about ten seconds or so slower than
it really was, and that's the end of 1t.
But they're always particular to have
an absolute corner on the watches"

Holly Berries as Medicine.

"The holly berry has a value other
than aiding in making the Christmas
decorations beautiful" said Lawrence
Beech of Cullman, Ala, at the Tulane.
"If one will take holly berries when
they have ripened thoroughly and stew
them for about two hours the finest
medicine on earth can be had for
burns and chaps and skin diseases.
The juice of the holly berry has been
used in my family for years with
greatest success. When my mother
was living she used to get a lot Of
holly berries every winter and stew
them. She would take the fluid and
put it up in jars. When one Of us
children got burned right badly, and
chapped lips from going out in the
cold too much, or had any kind Of skin
irritation, mother would always get
down a jar of holly salve and doc
tor us. And when I get a home and
have children shall have salve the
year Notwithstanding Tennesseean

Preyaricators!

A French review has been asking
leading writer's and artists what they
habitually drink; and the replies are
on the lofty plane of those that are
made when men are asked to name
their ~favorite books. With the ex-
ception of Rodin, Flammarion, and a
very few others, who frankly admit
their preference for strong drink,
these French bohemians of to-
day to derive their inspira-
ton mainly from water. And this
in a Paris that once knew
Henri Murger, that still knows one
of the worst water supplies in a CIV
ilized city! Do you feel impelled, if
a great man, to say that you drink
water, just as you seem obliged to
say that Shakespeare and the Bible
form your staple reading?-London
Chronicle.

Art of Begging Letters,

Nowhere is the ingenuity of the
present age more apparent than in
the bossing letters received by rich
men," said a private secretary. 81 have
been reading letters of that kind by
the hundred for the last Is years. For
merly all begging letters sounded
alike. So stereotyped were they that
they might have been copied bodily
from a ready letter writer. Now the
writer's display originality. They may
want the same old thing that their
predecessors wanted, but they ask for
it in a different way. People in need
have acquired the art of expressing
themselves in a dramatic way. That
is to their advantage. 1t may be I'm.
just, but usually the letter that hits a
rich man hardest brings the most ia.
vorable reply. The writer may not
really need assistance nearly SO badly
as some timid suppliant who clings
to trite phrases, but he gets the relief
asked for every time"

LONG WARS DUE TO WHISPERS
Trivial Incident Led to Three Hun.
dred Years Of Fighting.

Fol ages boards were the delight of
ancient beauties. The sight of a
shaved chin excited sentiments of hor-
ror and aversion. To obey the injunc,
lions of his bishops, Louis VII. Of
France cropped his hair a la pompa-
dour aud shaved off his luxuriant
whiskers. Eleanor Of Aquitane, his
consort, found him with this uncom-
mon appearance very ridiculous and
very contemplate. She revenged her
self by becoming something more than
a %coquette. The king obtained a di-
vorce. She then married the count Of
Anjou, who shortly afterward ascend
ed the French throne, and gave him
as her marriage dover the rich prov
inces of Poitou and Guienne; and
this was the origin of those wars
which for 800 years ravaged France
and which cost the French nation
5000, 900 men. All of which, probably,
had never taken place if Louis VII.
had not been SO rash as to shave off
his whiskers, by which he made him
self so disgusting to the fair Eleanor.

RECIPE FOR LIFE'S HAPPINESS.
Seek to Remember Only Good Points
of Ones Neighbors.

If you would increase your happi-
ness and pro,ong YOU life, forget your
neighbours faults. Forget the SANDER
you have heard. Foi get the tempta-
tons. Forget peculiarities of your
friends, and only remember the good
points which make you fond of them.
Forget all personal quarrels or his
tories you may have heard by acct
dent. Blot out as far as possible all
the d~isagreeables of life; they will
come, but they will grow larger when
you remember them, and the constant
thought of the acts of meanness will
only tend to rlie YOU more familiar
with them. Oblitelate everything dis.
agreeable from yesterday; start out
with a clean sheej for to-day, and
write on it only lovely things.

YOUTHFUL FISHERS IN ALASKA.
Boys Boat Towed By a Big Halibut-
How the Dogs Help.

About the mouths of the streams
on which salmon camps are situated
the Indian dogs and children amuse
themselves catching the fish. Some
of the youngsters are so small that
after they have succeeded in %cornering
a fish the combined efforts of the
party are often required to dispatch 1t
and carry it to camp. | have watched
dogs running about in a rift swapping
at the salmon and apparently having
Tie time Of their lives.
One of the most amusing sights that
I saw during my stay in Alaska was
two Indian boys being towed about
the harbor at KadiaG by a huge hall
but they had just hooked. Utterly
unable to land the fish, they had
fastened the line to the stern of the
boat, and while they pulled with all
their might, each one mt an oar they
rallied each other for not exerting
more streng'h and shouted loudly for
help. Finally an Indian put out in a
boat and The fish was landed.-Folest

How the Cow Helped Australia.

Corn is king in America and the
COW is queen in Australia" remarked
X. j. Guthrie, agricultural editor of the
sydney Mail. THE COW has redeemed
the country, and hundreds of farmers
who lost nearly all they had by the
drought of 1902 are now better off
than they ever were and it is all due
to the COW. Australian butter ranks
we'll up with the best butter in the
world.
Our butter making is all done by
the cooperative creamery system. 1t
mas been years since the farmer made
butter on the farm. We have little
use for a dual purpose cow in Aus.
tralia. That is, the dairy farmer
wants a COW that will give milk ten
months in the year, and he Uses It for
no other purpose, while those who
raise cattle for beef have no thought
of milk production"

South American Inns.

A traveller who recently returned to
Philadelphia was narrating some of
his experiences in South America at
a banquet of globe trotters. He had
sBirted the entire coast Of South
America and had found the inns or
hotels in most sections very poor. So
bad were they in Peru, he said, that
one American who had been thrown
into Jail pending some dispute over
his papers and after his release had
s. ught the hotel Of the town, returned
the next day to the Jail and begged
that he might be taken in.
The most curious sign he had seen
was in the window of a restaurant in
Buenos Ayres, which read: American
cafe-champagne and fried potatoes"

Oriental Wisdom.

We bow to the gods; but even they
are under the sway Of tremendous
fate. Then should we reverence fate;
but wen fate can give the reward only
for this or that special work. Since
the reward depends on the work, of
what use to us are gods and fate?

fate itself has power!
