Jenner as an Eater.

DR.. Jenner, the famous English
physician, was a great tea drinker
and very abstemious, never taking
any stimulant except measured
glass of brandy when he had indi-
gestion. Once for that cause he
lived on stewed chops and rice for
luncheon and dinner, with tea, for
couple of years, but ordinarily he
was a great feeder.
"I recollect," said his friend, DR..
Cooper Bentham, con one occasion
Reynolds came to see him. Jenner
was at dinner. He had soup, fish,
the greater part of a chicken, and
he was in the middle of a huge rice
pudding when Reynolds entered and
asked him how he was. Jenner
drew a pitiful sigh and replied, I
sm not at all well-no appetite. '"

Musicale a Success.

The musicale given on Mon
day evening at the high school

The singing was especially
enjoyed. "Reveries of a

WORKING Their Way.

Two young college men we're in
dustriously spending their summer
vacation in the testing room of a
large electric manufacturing works,
where they were able to supple
ment their studies at the technical
school by practical application and
experience. The July afternoons
were long and the work at times
very slack, so in one Of these inter-
walls Of half idleness the young men
determined to turn to and give the
laboratory in which they worked a
thorough cleaning. 1t was at this
juncture that the janitor happened
along-an old retainer whose years
of usefulness had long since passed,
but who still made a feeble, shift
less pretense of keeping busy and
was indulgently carried along on
the payroll of the company. Catch

"skMENEss" OF THE NILE.
A Lovely Monotony Of Golden Light
and Of Delicious Air.

Some people talk OF the same
ness" of the Nile. and there is a
lovely sameness of golden light, OF
delicious air. OF people and of seen
cry, for Egypt is after all mainly a
great river with strips on each side
of cultivated land, fiat, green, not
very varied. River. green plains,
yellow plains. pink, brown, steel
gray or pale yellow mountains. wall
of shadoof, wall of sakieh. Yes, l
suppose there is sameness, a sort
of golden monotony, in this land
pervaded with light and pervaded
with sound. Always there is light
around you, and you are bathing in
it, and nearly always, if you are
living, as 1 was, on the water, there
is a multitude of mingling sounds
floating, floating to your ears. AS
there are two lines of green land,
two lines of mountains, following
the course of the Nile, so are there
two lines of voices that cease their
calling and their singing only as
YOU draw near to Nubia.
For then, with the green land,
they fade away, these miles upon
miles of calling and singing brown
men, and amber and ruddy sands
creep downward to the Nile. And
the air seems subtly changing, and
the light perhaps growing a little
harder. And YOU are aware of 9TH
er regions unlike those you are
leaving, more African, more savage,
less suave, less like a dreaming.
And especially the silence makes a
great impression on you. But be-
fore you enter this silence, between
the amber and ruddy walls that
will lead you on to Nubia and to the
land of the crocodile, you have a
visit to pay, for here, high up on a
terrace, looking over great bend of
the river, is Kom Ombos, and Kom
Ombos is the temple of the croco-
die god.-Robert Hichens in Gen.

EyelllG al the Sand Hills.

There was a chicken supper
given on yesterday evening at
the sand hills by the young
men of the town in honor of the
visiting young ladies' and the
young ladies who soon leave
town for college and tc teach
school. The wagons left town
at about 9 o'clock and carried
quite a crowd OF the young folks.
The sand hills never looked
grander than last night in the
light of the beautiful full moon,
and it is needless to say that the
young people enjoyed to the
fullest extent this opportunity
of playing and talking, while
the trees around gave vent to
their feelings in gentle sighs.
The supper was bounteous;
everyone had a keen appetite
whetted by the ride out there
and the lateness of the hour,
therefore no one felt backward
about eating heartily.
The following young people
enjoyed the evening:
Misses Lila Hammet, Margaret
Ross, Jimmie Britton, Mary and

Hand Signals Used by Firemen.

A code of hand signals, which ap-
pears 10 be something similar to the
"tie-tac" operations of the race course
tout. has been adopted by the Edin-
bureh fire brigade. 1t is supposed to
be the only brigade in possession OF
such a system. The uses are apparent
when a fireman finds himself isolated
in the upper part of, say, tall tene-
ment Leaning out of the window, he
could signal to his colleagues in the
street that the fire escape was re.
quired, or that another line of hose
should be brought into use Then,

could signal below that another
steamer should be telephoned for, or,
perhaps. a second hose-tender, under
circumstances when the loudest shout
would be without avail
