His Coffee Not Hot.

There are all sorts of tastes in New
York, and, of course. everything is a
matter of taste anyhow, as the old
woman said when she kissed the COW.
But one can find many strange ideas
of how things should be done by sim
ply listening while in a restaurant.
The most unusual was heard in quick
lunch resort downtown the other day.
"Give me a cup Of strong black cof-
fee, not hot was the order. and the
waiter never said a word, just went
along to fill the order, which moment
later proved to be a cup Of steaming
coffee with a piece of ice in the saucer
to be used at the discretion of the
diner.-New York Globe.

THE COMIC SPIRIT.
Thoughtful Laughter Is the Test of
True Comedy.

Thoughtful Laughter Is the Test of
True Comedy.
One excellent test of the civilization
of a country l take to be the flourish
ing of the comic idea and comedy, and
the test of true comedy is that it shall
awaken thoughtful laughter.
If you believe that our civilization is
founded on common sense-and it is
the first condition of sanity to believe
it-you will when contemplating men
discern a spirit overhead luminous and
watchful, never shooting beyond them
or tagging in the rear, so closely at
tached to them that it may be taken
for a slavish reflex until it's features
are studied.
It's common aspect is one Of unsolicit-
GUS observation. Mems future upon
earth does not attract it. Their homes
ty and shapeliness in the present do.
And whenever they wax out of pro
portion, overblown, affected, preten-
tious, bombastical, hypocritical, pedan-
tic, Enthusiastically delicate; whenever 1t
sees them self deceived or hoodwink-
ed given to run riot in idolatries, drift
ing into vanities, congregating in abb
surdities, planning shortsightedfy and
plotting dementedly; whenever they
are at variance with their professions
and violate the unwritten but percep-
tible laws binding them in considera
ton one to another: whenever they of
fend sound reason, fair justice, are
false in humility or mined with con-
ceit, individually or in bulk, the spirit
overhead will look humanely malign
and cast an oblique light on them, fol
lowed by volleys of silvery laughter.
That is comic spirit-"An Essay on
Comedy by George Meredith.

ROYAL SCHOOL MASTERS.
Kings Who Turned to Teaching to
Make a Living.

Make Living.
In the early part of the life Of King
Christian TX. Of Denmark there was
no prospect of his ever becoming the
ruler of that country. With this in
view he became a schoolmaster at the
German university of Halle.
Being too poor to keep servant, the
Dowager Czarina Dagmar of Russia,
one of his daughters, used to help her
mother to do the household work and
take care of the younger children,
During this period there were King
Frederick VII and several others in
the direct line of succession that stood
before Prince Christian; but by sue
cession of deaths that occurred, he be-
came the heir apparent, and after the
death of King Frederick VII. in 1858
be was proclaimed King Christian TX,
Of Denmark.
Another instance of a similar nature
Is that of Louis Philippe. During the
time be was exiled from France, then
being the Due de Charities, he became
4 teacher Of mathematics and geOgra-
ply in Switzerland. About thirty-six or
thirty-seven years afterward, on Aug.
g. 1880, he was proclaimed King Louis
Philippe of the French London An

FEW KNOW THIS
Says Home Made Treatment
Cures Rheumatism,
Shake Them Well in the Bot
tie and Take After
Meals.

When an eminent authority an
uounced in the Scranton (Pa.) Times
that he had found a new way to
treat that dread American disease,
Rheumatism, with just common,
everyday drugs found in any drug
store. the physicians were slow in
deed to attach much importance to
his claims. This was only few
months ago. Today nearly ever
newspaper in the country. even the
metropolitan dailies, is announcing
it and the splendid results achieved.
1t is SO simple that any one can pre-
pare it at home at small cost. It is
made up as follows: Get from any
good prescription pharmacy Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one half-ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla. three
ounces. Mix by shaking in q bottle
and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal aud at bedtime. These
are all simple ingredients, making
an absolutely harmless home remedy
at little cost.
Rheumatism, as every one knows
is symptom of deranged kidneys.
1t is condition produced by the
failure of the kidneys to properly
filter or strain from the blood the
uric acid and other matter which if
not eradicated, either in the urine
or through the skin pores, remains
in the blood, deccmposes and forms
about the joints and muscles, caus-
ing the untold suffering and deform-
ity of rheumatism.
This prescription is said to be
splendid healing, cleansing and in
MIGRATING tonic to the kidneys. and
gives almost immediate relief IL all
forms of bladder and urinary trou-
bles and backache, He also warns
people in a leading New York paper
against the discriminate use of manv
patent medicines.

POI IN HAWAII.
The Favorite Food of the Natives and
How 1t Is Made.

How 1t Is Made.
In years gone by each native Hawai-
fan took particular pride In producing
his own poi Ga food made from the
taro plant. but nowadays it is made
in factories. the work being done al
most wholly by the native born China
men, who receive 81 per day for their
labOrs.
| was fortunate enough at Lahaina,
however, to see this staff of life made
in the old fashioned way. The taro
plant seems to be a cross between
sweet potato and turnip, and the root
is long and fieshy. This, after steam
ing, must be pounded into a sort Of
-four before mixing. A stone pestle is
used, and often it requires hours to
beat the root to the proper cOnSisten-
cy. When a certain stage is reached
water is added, and it is worked into
a thin paste, put into a barrel and al
lowed to ferment. The taste for poi
has to be acquired, and few If any
foreigners ever care for it as food. To
me it suggested sour starch. 1t Is
served on the native table In a huge
wooden bowl known as a calabash,
from which it is eaten with the fin
gers, each member of the family Dip
ping into the same dish. The number
of fingers used is measured by the
thickness of the poi, three fingers be-
ing required for the thinnest and one
for that mixed to the consistency Of
mush. The taro plant is easily cult
waited (this is also done by Chinamen),
and L am told that one square mile Of
taro will feed $4,000 natives. Factory
made poi. which is pinkish purple in
color, costs 81 bag, about the size Of
a -four sack containing an eighth of a
barrel. 1t is nutritious, cheap and fat
tening. Poi is the principal food Of
the lauas (native feasts). Roast pig
is usually the meat on these festive
occasions.-Leslie's Weekly.
