An Old Time ouaek.

m me x1xfrt hands it is a poor root
that will not work both ways. An old
ouack doctor, according to the Wash
ington correspondent of the Boston
Herald. was once called to see boy
who had chills and fever.
He proceeded to scratch the bark on
a root and put some in one glass OF
water and some in another glass OF
water.
"Give the medicine In this glass for
the chills," he then said to the lads
mother. ''but give this In the other
glass when the fever comes on"
.sBut. DOCTOR" the mother protested
1T is exactly the same in both glass
es."
sOh, not at ALL" declared the quack.
.But I saw you scrape the bark on
the same root and put it in each
glass"
~Yes," admitted the quack smoothly
.but you didn't see how did 1t, my
dear lady. This for the chills scrape
up on the root, and that makes 1t high

scrape down on the root, and tnat
makes 1t low cockahighrum-"

In spending and saving to grotesque

famous scientist poor wretch VINO
lived In utter misery came forward
with subscription of $500. And
when the city officials called upon him
with a message of thanks they found
him in an evil smelling slum behind
the Cathedral Of Notre Dame. When
the door was opened the miser philan-
thropist was found quarreling violent
ly with his miserable looking serv-
ant for throwing away a match that
had not been burned at both ends. A
similar case, but on much larger
scale, was that of Jacques Gurgot OF
Marseilles. Every one in the city knew
and hated him for his Incredibly sor-
did life, yet when the old miser's Will
was proved all France was amazed to
find he had left $3.50, to his native

1t is quite a trick TO lower main
sail properly. In the first place, the
hoops should be just large enough
not so large, however, that the sail
does not set close to the mast. Lower
the throat first and follow 1t with the
peak. If the peak is dropped first
says a writer in Country Life In Amer
lea. the sail will not come down. 1t
goes without saying that the sail must
be shaken when you want to lower
1t. To lower centerboard when I'M
der way put the helm up and keep the
boat off A small boat can be stop
ped by putting the helm up and down
across the boat quickly. This is use
full in coming up to dock or moor
ing. A boat can be got out of stays
by dropping her peak and then hoist
ing it when she is under way An
other way is to put the helm down,
slack the main sheet and let her drift
back; then trim her quickly and she
will sail away Always go to the lee
sside of a dock. When a boat is lowed
make sure that it has a good painter,
especially at night.

IsIands In New York CITY.

81 was showing an Englishman our
city week or two ago." said New
Yorker, land was surprised to hear
him express establishment at the num-
Der of islands within our municipal
boundaries Is this entire island a
part of New York city?' he asked as
took him on several trolley rides over
on Staten Island. And all these is
lands, too, are they New York cityY he
inquired another day as he went up
the East river. His remarks put me to
thinking, and I've discovered that not
one of the really great cities of the
world has SO many islands within its
boundaries as New York. Staten Is
land in itself would make a good sized
city. Some of the other islands, of
course, are hardly more than specks.
but they belong to New York city just
the same.'

General Winfield Scott was response
BILE for tin foil being wrapped around
tobacco. That fact came out IN the
legal contest over the VIII OF the &C.
centric millionaire tobacco dealer, John
Anderson. Early In the forties Of the
last century Mr.. Anderson kept a pop
Mar cigar store on Broadway. Felix
McClosky, for many years the tobac-
conist,s salaried companion and agent.
testified that one day, In 1S4S he
thought, General Scott came into the
store and asked Anderson II he
couldn't devise some way Of keeping
tobacco SO it would not be affected by
age and changes in climates. Ander-
son thought about 1t and shortly after
hit upon the plan Of wrapping cigars
and chewing tobacco In tin foil, there
by keeping the tobacco moist for a
long time. His tin foil covers became
popular, and his preserved tobacco was
much in demand during the Mexican
war and the California gold rush,
swelling his business to enormous pro-
portions and soon making him a multi
millionaire.

The following story of German mill
tary officialism is published in Lon
don: One Ensign Flugge claimed COM
pensation for damage to kit caused by
mouse having gnawed hole in his
best tunic. The officer who had to de-
eide the point dismissed the claim and
ordered the ensign to be severely pun
ished on the ground that, contrary to
orders, he had hung his best tunic on
nail when going on guard at night
In an inferior garment instead of pack
ing it in his knapsack. thus enabling a
mouse to gnaw a hole in 1t without
having to overcome the slightest I'M
pediment." Ensign Flugge appealed,
and on further hearing 1t appeared
that the officer who first dealt with
the case was mistaken in the facts
the tunic having been slowed In a
knapsack at the time when the mouse
defaced it and not hung upon nail
The first decision was therefore sci
aside by higher authority, and Ensign
Flugge was ordered to be severely
punished for having slowed his tunic
In his knapsack instead of hanging II
on nail, thereby giving opportunity
to the mouse to knaw hole in 1t "un
der cover of the darkness The senti
ments of Ensign Flugge are not re
corded.

''Long, almond shaped eyes, with
thick and creamy lids covering half
the pupil and with forehead that is
full above the brows-there you have
the eye of the man Of genius" The
speakers own eyes answered that de-
scription strikingly, but he was far
from being man of genius, being, in
fact, magazine editor.
"Protruding eyes," he went on,
''show mental and bodily weakness.
Eyes close together denote cunning.
Those far apart denote iberality. Thin
lashes without any upward curve to
them and thin brows poorly marked
are signs of melancholy and indeci-
sion. The eyes of voluptuary move
slowly under heavy lids. Those of a
miser are small, deep sunken and blue,
set in a bony and perpendicular fore
head The most beautiful eyes-large,
brilliant and clear, gsancing and fash
ing with a rapid motion-the most
beautiful eyes denote elegance of taste,
gayety, some sel1shness and great
interest in the opposite sex."-New

The late DIR. James Freeman Clarke
used to tell this story Of his dog:
'At one time my dog was fond of
going TO the railway station to see the
people, and l always ordered him to
go home. fearing he would be hurt by
the cars. He easily understood that If
he went there 1t was contrary to my
wishes. So whenever he was near the
station If he saw me coming he would
look the other way ard pretend not to
know me. IF he met me anywhere else
he always bounded TO meet me with
great delight. But at the station 1t
was quite different He would pay no
attention to my whistle or my call.
He even pretended to be another dog
and would look me right In the face
without apparently recognizing me.
He gave me the cut direct in the most
impertinent manner, the reason evil
IDENTIFY being that he knew he was
doing what was wrong and did not
like to be found out Possibly he may
have relied a little on my nearsighted-
ness In his maneuver"
