One of the best possible ways of
damning Saratoga and running the
tourist and excursion business is for
II hotels and restaurants to charge
exhorbitant rates for meals and beds
in return for poor accommodation.
Let the people of Saratoga, who feed
and lodge people, look well to this
matter. If people are not well treat
ed when they come here they will
spread the fact far and wide and
away goes any more trade from that
source. Let them get good meals
and beds at reasonable rates and
they will come in crowds. There is
nothing will damn ii town SO quick

There is no trust in the United
States that needs re- ulating quite
as much as the express companies.
The robber rates they charge and ut.
ter inability to ever recover from
them for damaged goods or over
charges, is sure, in the end, to bring
down the vengeance of law ON their
heads.

THE HUMAN TONGUE.
u Is Very Inquisitive, With Strong
Will of Its Own.

The curiosity of the tongue does not
cause the human being so much trou-
Bile as the curiosity of the eye, but the
tongue, within its limits, is the most
curious of all.
Let the dentist make a change in the
mouth, let him remove a tooth or re-
place with his admirable arti1ce one
that has long been absent, let him
change the form of a tooth by round
ing off a corner or building up cavity,
and see what the tongue will do. II
will search out that place, taking care
full and minute account of the change.
Then it will linger near the place. II
1t is called to other duties, it comes
back as soon as they are discharged
and feels the changed place all over
again, as if it had not explored and
rummaged there already.
1t makes no difference that these re-
peated investigations presently cause
annoyance to its supposed master, the
man. The tongue in nothing more
than in this matter proves that 1t is an
unruly member and will not be con-
trolled.
1t seems to have an original will and
consciousness of it own, and nothing
will serve it except the fullest satisfac-
ton of its curiosity. 1t will wear itself
out. perhaps, but it will find out all
about the strange change. = Boston

one Fish Didn't Grow.

A number of men were telling of re-
markable catches off Atlantic City, and
one Of them said that one day he
icaught very small cod, and. not car
ing to take home such little fellow,
he took piece Of copper wire, ran it
through the tail OF the fish, and on one
end of the wire he attached a copper
tag with his name scratched upon it.
"The next year when l was off there, "
continued the man, 81 got heavy pull
on the line, and after five minutes
fighting landed a twelve pound cod.
and there on its tail was my tag"
t'That reminds me of a similar ex-
perience off there" said another man.
81 caught one of those small cod, and
I wanted to hang some sort of identifi-
cation on it, but l couldn't find any
thing in the copper tag line from one
end of the boat to the other / did
find, however, little tin whistle in
one of my pockets, and, running a wire
through the tail of the fish, hung on
the whistle and threw the cod back
into the water.
1.-THE following year l got most pc
culiar bite on my hook. and after pull
ing in the line got the surprise of my
life. There was the same little cod.
He hadn't grown an inch, but hang
ing on his tail was a long fog horn

The wealthy Briton is confessedly
the most fastidious man living as to
the quality of his personal domestic
service. The concentrated energy with
which an Englishman will rebuke his
servant for an offense so slight that
the average American fails to observe
it bears out the above statement.
Those who propose changing servants
are not content with references and a
perfunctory interview with the man
or maid under consideration. but in
sist upon a full dress rehearsal of both
manners and appearance. The serv-
ant in livery is put through all his
PAGES, must display the size of his
calves, the haughtiness of his pose as
well as breeding in handling a card,
announcing a guest or serving at the
table Nothing is taken for granted.
The master and the mistress sit by
and discuss the points of groom or but
Ter as they would those of high
priced horse or valuable dog. Domes
tics are taken with great seriousness
by the upper class Englishmen, and
for that reason nothing is left to luck
in peopling the servants hall.

supposina ths AK Had EaIIenI


Some years ago an inquisitive med
lotine In a big waxworks exhibition in
London, took it into his head that the
sort of yoke which fits down on the
shoulders of the criminal to hold him
in his place would not be sufficient to
confine a person who struggled.
his curiosity on that point led him
to watch till the place was empty,
when he actually put himself in. let.
ting down the yoke. He soon found,
however, that he was quite unable to
lift 1t, and it at once flashed into his
mind that the sharp ak suspended over
his neck might not be firmly fixed or
It would fall, as it should, with a
touch.
He was afraid to struggle lest the
shaking should bring it down and al
once deposit his head in the basket OF
sawdust below him, into which his
eyes were Of necessity steadily look
ing.
Having stayed some time In this
plight, he was overjoyed to hear the
approach Of a visitor, whom he i'm.
plored to release him. 1t was In vain
I'm thinking" said the gentleman
a Scottish visitor to the metropolis, to
his wife, that he must be hired tc
show how the thing acts, and think
we'd better not interfere"
SO the luckless student was left till
one of the attendants came In and
made fast the ak before releasing him
from his predicament. The ak was
afterward removed and laid by the
side of the structure to prevent future
accidents.

THE DUcKINe STOOL.
How q "ScoId" Used to Be Punished In
Old ENGLAND.

1t is interesting to conjure up pic
ture of a "ducking" as practiced In
England at the end Of the eighteenth
century.
When the "scold" had been properly
tried and convicted, she was escorted
by a crowd Of her neighbors-in fact,
by the whole village-to the nearest
pond, and the greener and Sinner the
pond the better. A long plank was
produced, at one end of which was the
ducking stool. and In this the scream
ing, struggling victim was securely pin
toned
The chair end of the plank was then
pushed far over the edge of the pond,
and at signal it was tilted deep into
the green ooze until the scold was
completely immersed.
When the dripping, half drowned wo-
man was raised to the surface again
to the jeers and laughter of the on
lockers 1t can be imagined that her
tongue wagged to some purpose. Aft
er a second dose she emerged more
subdued, and after a third or fourth
she was as penitent woman as the
village contained and was allowed to
proceed home a sadder and wiser wo-
man until the next time.-London Tit
