PAYING UP AN ELECTION BET.
Much Time Had Elapsed, But Loser
 Proved Hls Honesty.

Among the passengers on steamer which arrived at New York last week was retired German manufacturer who had not been In this country for many years At quarantine he received this message: Dine with us next Fri day evening and we will finish our game of chess" The message was signed with the name of a physician, an old friend of the tourist. He ac- cepted the invitation, and after din ner the physician took from his desk a memorandum, on which the position of the pieces had been recorded when call interrupted the game of long ago. The pieces were placed in po- sition and the game proceeded as though there had not been great space between the moves. When 1t was over and the many happenings in the life of the players since the night of the unwelcome call had been dis cussed. the physician gave the servant signal and presently bottle of wine was brought and placed before the men. You may not remember" said the doctor. that 1 made bet with you that night. We'll. lost, and here is the bottle of wine. Blaine was not elected president.

Remedies for AffIIctlons.

Dissipation of mind and length Of time are remedies to which the great est part of mankind trust in their af- flictions. But the first of these works a temporary, the second slow, effect and such are unworthy of wise man. Are we to fly from ourselves that we may fly from our misfortunes, and only to imagine that the disease is cured because we find means to get some moments of respite from pain? Or shall we expect from time, the physician of brutes, lingering and uncertain deliverance? Shall we wait to be happy till we can forget that we are miserable, and owe to the weakness of our faculties a tranquilli- ty which ought to be the effect of their strength? Far otherwise. Let us set all our past and present afflic- tions at once before our eyes. Let us resolve to overcome them, instead of flying from them, or wearing out the sense of them by long and igno- minious patience. Instead of palliat- ing remedies, let us use the incisive knife and the caustic, search the wound to the bottom, and work an immediate and radical cure.-Lord Bolingbroke (167S-175D.

CRITICISM OF AMERICAN COOKS.
Famous German Chef Found But One
 Dish Worthy of Imitation.

Albert Neumann, chef to her i'm perial highness the Prussfan Crown Princess Cecelie, has returned from tour in America disappointed man.
 He was dispatched to this land of unlimited possibilities to search high and low for some culinary delicacies better than anything made In Ger many, and all he brought back worthy of imitation, he reports, is the clam chowder.
 Altogether he found American cook ing devoid of novelty or especial ex- cellence. He says the only good Amer ican cooking is French Indeed, he says that the real American cooking is simply barbaric-always excepting the clam chowder, which he hopes to make a favorite dish at the crown princess table.
 Herr Neumann was rather as- tonished at the failure of the Ameri- can hotel cooks to achieve distinction, for he found they had everything to do it with. Our hotels, he says, have kitchen arrangements which for ex- tensiveness, cleanliness and complete ness equal those of the finest royal palaces in Europe. -

Combs Made of Old Shoes.

A mountain of old boots and shoes, indescribably ugly, indescribably filthy. lay in the factory yard.
 Well make combs out of them" said the chemist, combs that will pass through the perfumed and lus- trous locks of the most beautiful girls. Seems strange, doesn't it?"
 "Very"
 "Yet it's a fact. That is what be- comes of all the worlds old shoes: they are turned into combs. The leather is first cut into small pieces and immersed two days in chloride of sulphur bath, then it is washed, dried and ground to powder. then it is mixed with glue or gum and pressed into comb molds.
 Tt makes good enough combs, but prefer the rubber ones myself. don't like to put on my head what once may have been on the feet, of an old tramp"

WOULD WAIT A LITTLE LONGER.
Old Man Was Taking No Chances on
 Possible Trouble.

He was a man of 70, but as he had had his hair and his long whiskers colored a jet black one had to look at him twice to get his age down pat It was on the rear end of a street car. and after the wind had blown through those colored whiskers for ten minutes he asked of the man smoking the bad cigar:
 Any news from Japan this morn, ing?"
 T didn't see any in my paper" was the reply.
 "The excitement is sort O dying out, eh?"
 ''Yes, think SO"
 "But there may be another row over something?"
 "It is possible. of course, but hardly think so. There was no real cause for the excitement anyhow"
 "No, I guess not, but I'm rather con servative and I think I'll wait cou- pie of weeks longer"
 For what, may I ask?"
 "To pop the question to widder who owns a farm on the Connecticut shore right where the Japs can sail up and blow the dirt out of it down to bedrock. Widder's all right and farms all right up to the present time, but I'm taking no chances. If every things all serene for two weeks moro I pop; if there's any more talk about war I wipe this dye off and shave up and tell all widders to go to grass"

The Life Plant.

Visitors to Bermuda often take home as a souvenir of their trip the leaves of an interesting plant of the houseleek family. It Is known as the life plant, and when the leaves begin to shrivel and fade they send out little shoots which in turn bear leaves that continue to grow and remain fresh and green for months The leaves are about four inches long, rich green in color and of waxen tex ture. If one of the leaves Is pinned to the wall indoors it will begin to sprout within three or four days, be it winter or summer. At first the top part of the leaf will begin to wither and shrivel up, and this is likely to con tinue until the upper half has lost its green color. Then tiny white roots will sprout from the edges, and in time diminutive green leaves will ap- pear on these. These little offshoots will sometimes grow to be an inch long, and contain several pair of leaves. The limit of their existence seems to depend on the amount of heat and light which they obtain.

Maine Buried Treasura.

As an illustration of how justice is sometimes meted out by our courts of law the case of the buried treasure found in New Vineyard serves we'll. Fessenden Hackstt, while employed by Leonard Hackett found some old coin of the face value of about $1,30o and bullion value of s850. Both the Hacketts, brothers, claimed the coin. and Fessenden finally bought his brothers claim for s550 in good money and took all the coin, comprising both domestic and foreign money. But he no sooner gets what he believes to be clear title than two fellow-work- men with him at the time of the dis covery claimed the proportional parts of the money and entered suit to re- cover it. Of the bullion value of $s5o Fessenden had already paid bis broth CT $550; now the jury has decided that he must also pay each of his fellow workmen about $500. so the buried treasure he found, and which had a market value of sS50. he must pay s1,150 for. In other words, he is $500 and court expenses worse off than If he had found nothing.

Affected by BreWeries.

"A queer objection is sometimes urged against flats in the neighbor- hood of breweries," said city rent ing agent People complain that the beery atmosphere whets the appetite for drink and sends off on toot many a man who otherwise would not even think of so misbehaving himself. Usu- ally it is women who make the com plaint; men don't seem to care wheth- CT they avoid temptation or not. Many times I have sent women up to look at certain of our flats and they have reported that they liked the place well enough, with the exception of the nearby brewery. They were afraid to trust the men of the family who, possibly, were afflicted with tempera- mental weakness on the liquor ques- tion."

Glass TeIearanh Poles.

A stock company has been organ. ized and factory for the manufac. turing of glass poles has been built at Grossalmerode, town near Cassel, Germany. The glass mass of which the poles are made is strengthened by interlacing and intertwining with strong wire threads.
 One oi the principal advantages of these poles would be their use in tropi- cal countries, where wooden poles are soon destroyed by the ravages of in- sects and where climatical influences are ruinous to wood. The selling price of the poles has not been fixed yet, but the company is willing to accept 25 marks ($6) for a pole of the length of seven meters (about 23 feet). The imperial post department which has central of the telegraph and telephone lines in Germany, has ordered the use of these glass poles on one of their tracts.

WHAT SHE SHOULD HAVE SAID.
Mikes Addition Added to Discontinue
 of Teacher.

A teacher in the Garfield school was teaching a primary class the begin nings of arithmetic.
 Now. have one pencil in my right hand and one in my left" she said. How many pencils have I? Helen, you may answer"
 Two" piped a small voice.
 Then one and one make two, do they not?"
 "Surel"
 The teacher frowned at the disre- spectful answer.
 That's hardly what you should have said" she said.
 "Will some one in the class tell Helen what her answer should have been?"
 There was a moment of hesitation. Then one brown fist shot confidently into the air.
 "Ah, James, you may tell Helen what she should have said"
 Sure, Mike!" shouted Jimmie, in a tone of triumph. City Star.

HAIRPINs AND THEIR USES.
Many Popular Services Performed by
 Little instrument.

It is recorded that Zola, on being asked what impressed him most when in England replied E'The sight of so many hairpins strewn along the paths" He probably, with most people, did not realize to what varied and service able uses this little article is put. It is an excellent substitute for a paper cutter; 1t will pierce a cigar or clean a pipe; as a buttonhook, either for boots or gloves, it is invaluable; in extremities it has served as tooth pick. horrible as this may seem; while, if sufficient number are used, it supplies the place of hatpin.
 There is another popular service also that it performs. Recently at a smart hotel young lady took up a novel, saying to the man who was carrying it around: How far have you got with this story?" As she spoke she opened the book with that quick movement which inevitably be- trays the bookmarker. then putting it down with laugh, added; "Oh. was looking for the hairpin which marked the place you had reached, but of course you don't use hairpins.

 Didn't Work We'll.

Frederick Remington, the artist-au- reer as any man that ever touched pen or pencil to paper. He has spent great deal of time among the Ind fans in the west On one of his visits he ran into story which he is fond of telling.
 For some years there had been Presbyterian mission at the Winne- bago reservation in Nebraska, but there were few converts. The mission ary hit on brilliant plan. There were some bucks on the reservation who had been at the Carlisle school, where they had studied singing. He crganiz- ed quartet. The bucks liked to show off their hymns. One of them had yellow dog that always accompanied his master to church.
 At first the Indians liked the sing ing. Then they grew tired of it. Even the choir lost it's religion. It became trio; then duet; finally the solo quit. new missionary came into the field. One day he ascended the pulpit and looked around. The only sign of life in the pews was yellow dog. Calling to the sexton, he said, Put that dog out!"

Dry Rot in Men.

The first strong external revela- ton of the dry rot in men is ten dency to turk and lounge; to be at street corners without ineligible reason; to be going anywhere when met; to be about many places rather than at any; to do nothing tangible, but to have an intention of perform ing a variety of intangible duties to- morrow or the day after. When the manifestation of the disease is ob- served. the observer will usually con meet it with vague impression once formed or received that the patient was living a little too hard. He will scarcely have had leisure to turn 1t over in his mind and form the ter rible suspicion dry rot when he will notice a change for the worse in the patients appearances certain slov- enliness and deterioration which is not poverty nor dirt nor intoxication nor ill-health, but simply dry rot. - Roanoke Times.

WANTS KINDNESS IN GREETING.
Poet Objects to salutatlon Without the Proper Spirit.

The poet was quite cast down. A friend met him and asked after his health, and this is what he said: "Why do people persist in saying Good Morning when the spirit of Good Morning is not there? Why not give blow? Then one could offer some resistance to this Monday morning saultation sfrom people who care not whether the morning is good or not; who only want to thrust themselves upon youy Better, far, a silent en- trance than greeting from which the life has fled. What does Good Morn ing mean unless 1t carries sympathy? So many Good Mornings and not one little bit of kindness-how hard and metallic most of theR. arel The first one I got was from gruff man with harsh voice. He has set all my nerves to dangling, why could he not leave me alone? Then, in moment, a girl came and bent over my shoul- der Her voice was sweet and woman ly. Her Good Morning soothed me. One day I came along Broadway.

It made the whole day diff ferent I believe l could have smiled back at the gruff man if l had been eo greeted today" "But my good poet" said his friend, in hurt tone, lis that meant for me? Have l set your nerves to jangling?" God be Thanked, no! You are the first man I've met whom I haven't felt like murdering.

Strenath of Yate.

Official tests of the many valuable hard woods native to western Aus tralia have made known the extraor' dinary properties of yate, believed to be the strongest of all known woods. It's average tensile strength is 24,000 pounds to the square inch. equaling that of good cast iron. Many speci- mems are, however, much stronger, and one was tested up to 17h tons to the square inch, which is equal to the tensile strength of wrought iron. The sawn timber of yate is probably the strongest in the world The tree grows to a maximum height of 100 feet and has sometimes a diameter of two and half or even three feet.

channinn Our Lannuaae.

If we come down to the philosophy of the thing, we are confronted with the phenomenon that virtually all tho people in the world are engaged in the eternal amusement of sloughing off their inherited and familiar language and learning to speak another. No spoken language. anywhere on earth, has ever been the same thing for a hundred years. Slang is sweet in all mouths, because 1t is new. By and by slang becomes idiom; people weary of 1t because it is traditional. and adopt new phrases. The English in this respect are quite as bad as we; you shall hear a "cinch" spoken of any day in Oxford or Cambridge or Bel gravia.

The First Man Not a Beauty.

The first human beings, according to legend of the zuni Indians. came to earth in rainstorm, and besides wearing broad tails, were provided with webbed hands and feet. They also had very long ears, and were cov- cred with a messy growth, two tufts of which, projecting from the fore head, look fin the photograph like an insects antennae. After the rains that brought these primitive folk to earth had ceased the gods sheared them of their tails and extra length of ear, and cut the webs from their feet and hands, and thus shorn their descendants are to this day. - Ex- change.
