 Sir Charles Locock. who was the physician attending Queen Victoria at certain period of her reign. was once commanded by her majesty to pto- ceed to Berlin and report on the con dition of her daughter, the crown prIn- cess. On the return trip, stopping at Dover for a nasty luncheon, he was enabled to snatch a glass of poor sherry and a piece of questionable pork pie.
 After the train had pulled out and Sir Charles had been locked in his com pertinent he began to feel drowsy and to fear that faintness was overtaking him. Immediately he thought to him self:
 ''They will find me in faint on the floor and bleed me for q fit, ands l need all my blood to digest this pork pie'
 Thereupon he hurriedly drew out his pencil, wrote on a piece of paper and stuck it in the band of his hat. Then he resigned himself to the deep slekp that came upon him. He did not wake until the train had pulled into the London station, and, still dazed by his slumber, he jumped into a carriage and was driven home.
 The grins of the servants and the exclamation of his wife were followed by the inquiry from one of the chil- dren, "Oh, papa, what have you got in your hat?"
 Then he remembered his experience on the train Taking off his hat, he removed the large white paper on which he had scrubbed this petition to the general public:
 Don't bleed me. It's only a fit of indigestion from eating some con- founded pork pie!'

There are many odd bits of bunting unfolded to the breeze In New York harbor, but the oldest of all perhaps is the ensign that flutters from the staff of a little craft that rounds the Battery sea wall promptly at noon every day and then disappears up the North river. It is a triangular flag with a flaming red background, from which stands out in bold relief great cyclopean eye. Inside the pilothouse Is a man in blue coat and brass but tons, who views the water front and passing craft through a long telescope. This is the supervisor of the harbOr. His duties are to see that the regula- tions are observed in the East river, the upper bay and the Hudson river, that the channels are kept free of ob- structfons and that the city's docks and ferries are being looked after as they should be. As soon as he steps on board his vessel the unique ensign is raised. It signifies to all nautical folk:
 I've got my eye on you. Watch out!' New York Sun. .....

The stage fare from Huntsville to Glasgow-tw miles-was $1.5O. This stage carried the mail, and 1t had to go. When the roads were so mud dy horses could not pull the stage a double yoke of oxen took their places. It was slow travelling, but they got through. The steamboat fare from Glasgow to St Louis in the early if
 ties was $7. That included stateroom and meals, and if the boat was held up a week or two on sand bar the accommodations went on without ex- tra charge. The steamboat owners never believed the railroads could suc- cessfully compete with them. The way they looked at it people wouldn't be willing to travel 100 or 200 miles tied down to one seat in small car when they might be enjoying the freedom of big and handsomely furnished boat.

 Long and searchingly and also dis approvingly Mrs. Wainwright looked at him.

An Andean Notion About Soroche. On one occasion. crossing the TacOra pass, abreast of Tacna. Peru. was ness at an elevation of only about 1000 feet above sea level. 1t coni- pletely prostrated me. but my Indian arriero told me that 'the spot was famous for soroche." the name by which mountain sickness is known to all the Aymara and Quichna people of the Andean range. "and that If l would continue my journey up the cor dillera 1t would leave me-" !
 The follow ing morning l was lifted into my saUdle and continued the as- cent of the pass, and within two hours was nearly well again. and before l reached the summit of the pass, about 5,T5O feet altitude, the soroche had entirely left me.
 The Indians among the Andes have frequently told me that ''soroche is not the effect Uf altitude, but" as they put it. ''of mineral veins." It may be that the geological and atmospheric condi. tions of certain localities are to some extent the cause of 1t. in addition to altitude. the former being perhaps the principal factors. although imperfect digestion and constipation invite it.
 During long ride in southern Bo- Iiyia. at an elevation of from 13.OOO to l4.C0O feet. l noticed that before leaving the post houses the Indians rubbed garlic on the nose and breast of my mule. They told me that this was ito prevent the soroche. ."-London Times.

Investment and Speculation.

When any one is buying coat or a fishing rod or Q rose tree or laying down a cellar or setting up library. either he knows what he wants, whete to get it and what to pay for it or else he takes earnest counsel with bis friends and with the most trustworthy professional advisers that he can find and uses all the wits that he and oth- CTS can bring to bear on the subject in order to make sure that his purchase is prudently conducted. He attends sales, rummages in shops and dis cusses the matter in his club until he and it are voted a nuisance. If only half as much time and trouble were devoted to the careful selection of itl- vestments there would be fewer bad companies, interruptions promoters and ornamental directors, the world would be very much richer, and it's riches would show less tendency to gravitate into questionable hands, Cornhill Magazine,
