Eeedino the Stock.

The victim of the following story,
told in Mrs. Henry w. Coles "A
Lady's Tour Around Monte Rosa, "
was possessed of n keen sense of hu-
NOR. Otherwise his dignity might have
been ruffled by the unconscious revela-
ton which came to his ears. In the
course Of Mrs. Coles travels she met
the Rev. Robert Montgomery, the poet,
who told her an incident of his early
career in the pulpit. When he was
first admitted to holy orders he was
appointed curate in rural Scotch dis
trict and lodged In the house of a
small tenant farmer. Notwithstanding
his Office of clergyman the family did
not appear to hold their boarder In
high veneration, for one day he heard
the woman servant call out to her
mistress:

A Chapel on a Bridqe.

At st. Ives, the little old Hunting
donshire town in which Oliver Crom-
well lived for several years, there is a
bridge spanning the lazlly flowing
Ouse, and on this bridge is a quaint
building which at one time did duty as
a chapel. The structure has been in
existence for something like 500 years
and was, according TO local historians,
originally employed as beacon light
house. After that 1t was turned for a
time into Il hostel and eventually be.

Curing Snake Bites.

Considerable difference of opinion ex-
lists with regard to trustworthy REM
edy for snake bites. DR.. Lauder Brun-
ton advocates the use of permanganate
of potash applied Immediately. Mr..
Greengrass of North Arcot district,
Madras, however, as the result Of vari-
GUS experiments states that acetic acid,
even In the diluted form of vinegar, is
an important and effectual remedy,
and II can be applied effectually as
long as an hour or an hour and half
after the bite. Cases Of recovery from
snake bites have followed the applica-
tion of vinegar after such intervals.
An incision must be made over the
bite as much Of the poison as possible
squeezed out, and then vinegar Is to
be injected. If the bite is on n limb,
ligature must be placed above 1t. Mr..
Greengrass records twenty-nine cases
Of recovery from cobra bites by such
use of vinegar. The one failure which
occurred was due to the fact that no
inclslon had been made over the bite
A similar treatment is recommended
for the stings of scorpions.--London

Downing Street, London.

The greatest street In the world is
one of the smallest. This Is Downing
street, dark little alley in the west
Of London. Here Is the real center Of
the British empire, for 1t is at 10
Downing street that the premier has
his official residence. Ever since Rob
ert Walpole was the prime minister,
200 years ago, the heads Of the govern
ment have made their homes in this
"alley." American tourists usually go
out of their way to gaze upon the
dlngy, almost repellent exterior of this
lodge of diplomacy and national ambi.
ton, because Sir George Downing, who
laid out the street and built the house
therein. was of American ancestry,
his mother belonging to the Winthrops
Of Massachusetts Bay Colony, and
stands as the second graduate on the
roster Of Harvard college. After get
ting an American education he went to
England and, seizing opportunity when
1t offered, became Oliver Cromwell's
ambassador at The Hague.-Exchange.

why Currants Are Nutritious.

The reason why currants are so
remarkably nutritious is that they
consist, to a very large degree, Of
saccharine in its most easily digesti-
BILE form-that of grape sugar The
piquant favor of the currant. which
adds so much to Its pleasantness as a
food, is derived from the valuable
percentage of tartaric acid which the
berry contains. Potash is also pre-
sent in the form of cream of tarter
and Is undoubtedly of dietic value

Tea Drinkinu,

Tea drinking was regarded as one Of
the feminine vices of hundred years
ago. The Female Spectator Of that pc
riod observes: "The tea table costs
more TO support than would maintain
two children at nurse. 1t is the utter
destruction Of all economy, the bane Of
good housewifery and the source Of
idleness."- ."-London Mail.

Girls in Denmark never experience
the pleasure of receiving a diamond

worn on the third finger of the left

punctures and bound up the wounds

The dog could not travel. nor could
Davis carry him. SO he left him and
returned To camp. arriving there long
after dark. Early next morning he
started for his dog. but could not end
him. Farmers in the neighborhood

1t was a diflcult undertaking. The
teeth all point backwards and they
closed on the wooden bar used for the
purpose. During the operation the

manners imaginable. It insisted on
contracting its folds and shortening
Its length. and then turning its length
into all the irregularities Of a mean

by holding the reptile out at full length
