MIXED THE SIGNS.
Sarasate and the Sandwich Men IN
Edinburgh.

sarasate and the Sandwich Men IN
Edinburgh.
To advertise Sarasate's performances
In Edinburgh eight sandwich men were
sent out, each Of whom bore In front
and behind him one letter Of the great
musicians name. They started all
right, but after a time removed the
boards from their shoulders to have q
rest
On resuming their labors each man
shouldered the board nearest him and
fell in behind the man who had for
merly marched before him.
When the leader, who bore the initial
49, turned around to see if his men
were ready, what he saw was ''Sata-
resa." He knew enough to realize that
something was wrong, but how to
right it was more than he could tell.
After changing a man here and there
he got 1t "Starasea." But still it didn't
seem correct.
By this time the poor fellow was in
a terrible state. If any Of their en-
ployers' people were on the outlook
and could see them, their days wage
would be stopped! He tried again and
yet again, but it was no use.
And a moment later a man bearing
the letter IS" before and behind was
seen running toward the music hall to
copy down the name from one Of the
posters there. And along the right
side of Princeton street there walked
toward the appointed rendezvous at
the Mound three men who bore the
strange device "a A e." while opposite
them there paced along the left side
gutter four others, who, If to advertise
means to attract attention, succeeded
we'll, for every one who passed looked
around In wondering amazement as to
what rats meant-Edinburgh Dis

Effect of Fear on Wounds.

The fear of poison in a lacerated
wound under certain circumstances is
In itself quite sufficient to give a
wounded man tetanus, or lockjaw,
than which no more horrible complica-
ton exists. Thus for a long time it
was thought that the natives of the
Solomon and other neighboring Islands
used poisoned arrows, and many white
men shot by them died In tetanic con-
vulsions, including one very horrible
case of q commander In the navy who
had made special study Of tetanus.
At length the French governor Of
New Caledonia, noticing that the symp-
toms exhibited were not consistent
with the use Of any known poison, ap-
pointed a medical commission to in
Quire into the affair, when 1t was dis
covered that the arrows Of the natives
were not poisoned at all, although con-
structed In such way that q small
piece Of the bone point almost always
remained In the wound. The irritation
produced by this prevented the wound
from healing quickly, and the mental
disturbance produced by fear and per-
haps change Of climate did the rest.
1t was discovered at the same time
that the natives Of other islands who
firmly believed In the poison theory
seldom suffered much inconvenience
from the arrow wounds, because they
believed that the spells given them by
their own sorcerers prevented the poi
son from taking effect.-Pall Mall Ga

Too Much For the Ferret.

An old buck rabbit is rot to be light
ly tackled by weasel, stoat or even
ferret. On the sanded floor Of a small
public house a ferret Of long expert
ence was matched with an old lop
cared buck, the property Of the land
lord. The ferret made straight for the
rabbits throat, but the latter was in
the air before master ferret could
reach him and, leaping clean over the
ferret's head, let out with those power
full hind legs Of his a kick which
hurled the ferret bodily against the
wainscot. Twice the ferret returned
to the attack, and twice he missed his
grip and went hurting through the
air. The third repulse was enough for
him. He knew he was beaten and
could not be persuaded to stand up for
fourth round.-Pearson's Weekly.

Weddino Rino Notices,

The custom Of inscribing within the
hoop of the betrothai or wedding ring
a motto or "posy," as it was called,
was formerly very prevalent. Hamlet
asks, "Is this a prologue or the posy Of
a ring7" Some posies were very ten
der and beautiful. Among the more
appropriate posies may be mentioned
"Deux corps, I'm coeur," "My heart
and I until / de- and II am yours"
from sixteenth century rings. Love
ever" "Love true, it's Joy" and "Tims
lesseneth not my love" from the seven
teenth century. Love me-" "My soul
will keep thine company to heaven"
and ''En ma f1delite je f1niral ma vie"
from the eighteenth. In the ring which
"Florizep (afterward George IV) gave
to the hapless Perdita were the words
"Je change qu'en mourant-Unalterable
to my Perdita through LIFE"

They Went Away Separately, but Game
Back Together.
A lady friend of mine. says an Eng
Iish writer, has as pets a canary and
cat. The two were the best OF GOOD
friends, and when the birds prison
door was opened it would come out
and perch on the cats back while It
trilled forth song of gladness.
One day my friend left her two pets
together. and on her return the bird
was nowhere to be found. Pussy was
curled I'D on a cushion, sleeping con-
tentedly. and my friend jumped to the
conclusion that the cat was answer
able for the birds disappearance, con-
sequently she caught up the cat and.
holding the supposed delinquent be-
fore the empty cage. beat 1t rather
mercilessly. Poor pussy mewed pite-
ously. but her relentless mistress put
her outside and shut the door against
her.
Next morning, feeling rather asham-
ed Of her outburst, she made inquiries
about the cat. but pussy was gone.
Some days later she heard a faint
scratching at her window, and on open
ing the easement a cat crept In and
laid bedraggled canary at her feet.
At first she did not recognize her pets
in the two disreputable looking objects
before her. When she did recognize
them her delight was great.
PraSI1 ma h1v the canary had gone out
by the open window, and. finding liber-
ty sweet, 1t had flown to a neighboring
wood. How the cat found the bird and
brought 1t back uninjured Is a mys.

served dolphin chasing flying fish,
both coming directly toward the ship.
On nearing the vessel the fier arose
in the air and passed over the bow

Brilliant Fish Hues.

Like birds, many fishes assume their
brightest hue when they wish to at
tract the opposite sex Of their species.
The colors Of the male common pike
become exceedingly intense, brilliant
and fridescent in the breeding season
The eel also puts on an intense silvery
hue at the breeding time which is very
noticeable and at one time caused nat
uralists to distinguish it as distinct
species. The males Of the tench, roach
and perch also show a marked increase
in brilliancy in the breeding season.

grow there There is an old saying
which expresses this, alfalfa will not
grow with wet feet" Though it seeks
water In deeper soil and the roots
penetrate very deeply indeed in an old
field, we must rot expect it to grow
where the water rises to within four

Keeps colffure In Shape.

A clever device for preserving the
coiffure in perfect condition while
wearing hat was seen recently.
AS to the hat it was used with, the
brim was very wide and the crown
an immense beehive. OF course, in
order such a shape should set COM
Portable upon the head this support,
consisting of wires from the brim. ran
up into the crown, otlverwise the
structure would drop over the eyes
and the nose; in fact, the entire face
would be covered. But these wires
allowed to remain at the front and on
the sides, held the millinery in place.
The supports were cut away in the
back and an outstanding broad hoop OF
wire was substituted. The mass of
puffs, curls, ETC., passed through this
hoop and concealed themselves in the
big crown.

Small Iniuries-

The old saying about the "ounce of
prevention" applies more than forcibly
to the everyday hurts, the small in
juries which we are prone to neg
lect. One engaged about the kitchen
is cut, perhaps, or slightly scratched
with sharp utensil. She binds it
with cloth, soiled one, maybe, and
forgets it. But often this careless
treatment is worse than none, for the
cloth introduces germs which the air
cannot reach with its healing power,
and often from the most insignificant
scratches, blood-poisoning results.
This is not the cry of an alarmist
but a warning against carelessness.
For cleanliness, slight care taken in
time prevents much after trouble.
The scheme is simple; keep bot.
tie containing weak solution of car
bolic acid (any druggist will give you
ten cents worth of 10 per cent solu-
tion and this will last long time).
Wash the wound and apply a clean
cloth (first saturated in hot water and
then soaked In the solution). Bind
the cut, cover with dry cloth, and
the chances are that it will quickly
heal Nature will do the work, but
she must not be interfered with by
any germs permitted to enter through
lack of care and cleanliness.
