CALLING the Deaf.

ITO waken a deaf person who wishes
to be called at certain time in the
morning is about the hardest PROPOSE
tion hotel clerk runs up against"
said member of that fraternity. ITO
ring the telephone Is useless, because
the man can't hear. Knocking, for the
same reason, is futile. Now and then
guest who has lost his hearing sug'
gests that he leave his door open so
we can walk right in and shake him,
but even If he does appear to be dead
game there are so many chances OF
somebody less guileless than ourselves
walking in ahead of us that we can't
consent to that simple expedient. 1t
seems to me the man who can patent
a device for waking the deaf Is sure
of fame and fortune, not to mention the
gratitude of the brotherhood Of hotel
clerks."- Exchange.

A Thirteenth Century Drink.

Thirteenth century tastes in food
had few limitations. Besides the "fowl
of Africa and the rare gadwit OF
Ionia" mentioned by Fitzstephen,
gourmets in the time of King John
used to regale themselves on herons,
cranes, crows, storks, cormorants and
bitterns. Some would wash their
meals down with wine, but the ma
jority drank mead or metheglin. Mead,
according to Holinshed, was only the
washing of the combs after the honey
had been taken from them and so poor
a beverage that 1t had to be spiced,
peppered or made palatable with
sweetbrier or thyme. But metheglin
contained one hundredweight Of honey
to twenty-four gallons of water and
must have been much more intoxicat-
ing than the strongest old ale of the
present day.-London Chronicle.

His Reputation Cluns to Him Outside
the Theater.
An actor In small company was
unable one night to get accommoda-
tion at the only hotel in an English
town, 1t is said, because its proprietor,
a remarkably slow going person for
such a place, recognized him as the
villain in the melodrama who had
stoken cash box, set FIRE to house,
killed a detective, damaged a race
horse and betrayed the hero's sister.
But something like this really did
happen to George Scott, manager Of
the Alhambra in London. In his
younger days Mr.. Scott was stage
villain of the deepest dye, and one Of
his favorite parts was that Of the
wicked Levison in "East Lynne"
After playing the character a few
nights In Blackpool he had occasion
for wishing to change his lodgings
and, knocking at the door Of house
in the next street, was greeted by the
good lady who opened 1t with a shrek
and the subsequent exclamation:
"What! It's Levison, the dirty vii
lain. Ye can't ave rooms In my

YOUR BRAIN.
Keep II Plastic by Not overeating 40
You Grow Old.


Up to a certain age the brain re-
mains plastic enough so that r an in
jury occurs to the thought brain the
person can begin over again AMI Gre
ate new knowledge centers in the other
hemisphere.
This has happened in many cases
where young people have lost certain
powers or faculties by cerebral LESSONS
and have afterward recovered these
faculties by developing new centers In
the other brain. 1t rarely happens
after the age of forty-fve, and the rea-
son is because most persons after pass
ing that age soon clog their brains
with calcareous matter by overeatfng
and destroy the Elasticity Of their
brains by filling them with food waste.
If all people past the age Of forty
five would live on twelve ounces or
less of solid food per day we should
soon find that one may receive new
ideas as readily at seventy-fve as at
fifteen. You cannot do 1t, however, If
your brain is hardened mass OF
waste matter. If you overeat you Will
be "sot" in your ways and a has-been
at fifty. Keep your phonograph rec
ords soft and receptive.-Nautilus.

There are those who ascribe the
word "mendicant" to the silly appella-
tion put forth as conundrum, mean
Ing poor wretch beyond the power Of
mending, But something very close to
the term was In use rs long ago as
when Chaucer wrote his Canterbury
Tales" In the "Sompnoure's Tale"
this occurs:
Therefore we "mendiants," we sely freres,
Ben welded to poverte and confluence,
To charitee, humblesse and abstinence,

ventures and Accidents.
The career of the shipwrecker con-
lists of series Of hardships and ad-
ventures and accidents and narrow es-
capes from the first day he enlists
with a big wrecking company up to
the time he is brought ashore from
the grim ship he calls "home" crippled
or fatally injured. OF all the profess
sions that demand heavy toll Of hui
man life none, not even mining or
powder making, is as dangerous as
the one Of these wreckers. Every year
these daring men, who brave storm and
wave and tempest to save the stranded
liner, to raise the sunken ocean grey
hound, to rescue the ship impaled upon
rocks and, If nothing else, to salye
what valuable cargo may be removed
from helpless wrecks, meet death by
the score. Many Of them, exposed Of
ten for days and nights to the Icy
blasts Of winter seas, to driving biz
yards and to drenching storms that
bite to the marrow, succumb to pneu-
monia. Others at work on the pitch
ing, tossing barges have legs or arms
shattered during the risky operations
of removing masts or Of singing
wrecking pumps or other castings that
weigh tons. Others have hands or
feet so dreadfully frozen that these
must be amputated, and still others
are wiped out Of existence after suf-
fering hours Of untold agony and ex-
posure before the eyes Of their helpless
comrades.-Appleton's Magazine.

A Simple Treatment by Which They
May Be Cured.
Did you ever take nine swallows Of
water to cure the hiccoughs? Do you
remember the time some one scared
the hiccoughs away by telling you Of
whipping due for some meanness?
Well, science has been studying hic-
coughs and caught the hiccoughs by
the "nape of the neck" The nine
swallows of water had little science
in 1t, and so did the scare cure. The
scientific hiccough cure consists in
pressing down to numbness the nerve
that connects the stomach, heart, lungs
and brain, the pneumogastric nerve.
The pressure partially and locally
paralyzes this nerve and Of necessity
the hiccoughing must cease.
Have the hiccoughing patient sit
down and be at ease, with the muscles
Of the neck relaxed as much as possi-
ble Grasp both sides Of the neck
somewhat toward the back part and
press down steadily and as hard as the
subject may permit for about one min
ute, having the patient work the head
from side to side. Within about one
minute the nerve will be numbed and
rested, and the spasmodic motion will
cease. 1t may require longer pressure
in some cases, but the result is sure If
patience is maintained. - Ohio State

The crime of forgery has been facili-

PRODUCTION of metallic pens, gold and

smooth and pleasant to write with,
though 1t sometimes baked and sput-
