Armour,s Generosity.

The employees OF the late P. d. Ar
mour always referred to him as the
old man." This was not so much the
result Of habit among workmen Of
calling their employer ''the old man"
as an eccentricity of the ''old man"
himself. When he wanted to give aid
anonymously he said, THAT'S from
the old man" Many gifts went out or
his pocket under the signature OF ''The
Old Man."
A young girl went to the business
Office of the great packing concern one
day to report the illness of friend
who worked as stenographer In the
Office. Mr.. Armour happened to stand
near and overheard the girls request
for an advance in her friends salary
with which to pay the doctors bill.
Thrusting his thumb into his vest
pocket-that pocket which seemed a
mint Of greenbacks-he handed the girl
a roll of bills.
'Take that to your friend" he said,
then adding to relieve the girls aston
ishment, ''Tell her the old man sent
it."
Before the girl could thank him he
was gone, but just as she left the
building he again appeared and, and-
ing her gone. hurried hatless into the
street.
Here, here! 1 forgot something"
he called.
The girl turned back, and without
word Mr.. Armour pressed something
into her hand. She looked down. 1t
was q twenty dollar bill.
Mr.. Armour had decided that his
gift was not sufficient and FASTENED to

Wasted All Three Wishes.

An Irish legend has it that good
fairy once visited an old couple and
promised them that any three wishes
they would make would be granted.
After racking their brains for some
time in an endeavor to discover what
they desired most the couple decided
to visit the county fair to see If some
thing there would suggest what they
wanted. They did so. and, after ram
bling around all day and not seeing
anything that exactly suited them. to-
ward evening they found themselves
before a display of kitchen utensils.
Among them was a soup ladle, cheap,
but likely to appeal to woman, so the
old woman in an absent moment said.
ooh, l wish l had one Of those" and
Immediately she had it. The old man
was so enraged because his wife had
thoughtlessly thrown away one valua-
BILE wish that he retorted, Il wish that
was stuck down your throat" and i'm
mediately this was done. Thereupon
he was at once sorry at what be
wished, and the only thing left to do
was to wish the ladle out again. So
all three wishes went for naught

The LAUGHTER Cure.

1t is all very well for a German doc
tor to prescribe hearty laughter as q
remedy for nervous diseases, but per-
haps he will also be good enough to
tell us where we are to get the ingre-
dents for his prescription.
One cannot well sit down and laugh
''till the tears run down the cheeks at
nothing at all, however anxious to
cure a severe attack of neuralgia.
When one comes to think of it, few
things make one laugh to this extent,
and what is one persons meat where
hilarity is concerned may prove so
poisonous to another as to plunge him
to the very depths Of depression.
There are people who will double up
with merriment when they see some
one else fall down fight OF steps,
and afterward describe 1t as 1.-THE fun
NEST thing they ever saw" but most
nervous patients probably would not
laugh at all If In order to effect q
cure an attempt we're made to excite
their hilarity by throwing relatives
and servants down stairs. Nerve spe-
cialists who adopt the laughter cure
will have either to practice Glowing
or keep trained fools to set their pa
tents "in a roar."-Lady's Pictorial.

FORGOTTEN BY Death.

Once upon a time, in the days when
things never happened. there lived a
man who feared only one thing and
that was death. If he could live for
ever, be thought. how fine it would
be. Maybe Death overheard him and
decided to grant his wish. or perhaps
being busy taking off young children,
promising young men and women, or
parents who were needed, Death SIM
ply forgot him. At any rate, the
man lived on and on. He outlived bis
family, his descendants, generation
after generation. all his friends. and
the descendants of his friends. No
one knew him. and his day Of useful
ness was so long ago that. having none
of the hopes. ambitions. or experiences
of today. it was as If be talked in a
different language. He lived on, and
on, and forever, but Death had for
gotten him. and though he prayed to
die as fervently as he had once prayed
to live, he couldn't die. And If you
sorrow for one who has lost his life,
think how much worse it would be
to never lose it; to be like this tired
old man whom Death has forgotten

The Romance Of ouinIne.


How many of those who fully realize
the value of quinine are familiar with
the pretty story connected with the
drug?
In the year 1898 Donna Ana, the
beautiful wife Of Don Luis Geronimo
Fernandez de Cabrera Bobadilla y
Mendoza, fourth count of Chinchona
and governor of the Spanish province
of Peru, lay sick and, it was feared,
dying of an intermittent fever in her
palace at Lima. Her physician, Juan
de Vega. was at his wits end. Her
husband was in despair. when the cor
regidor of Loxa, q neighboring state.
sent to the former a small packet OF
powdered quinquina bark, which he
knew the Indians priced highly as a
febrifuge.
The powder was administered to the
countess, with the happy result that
the fever LEFT her, and complete cure
was effected.
Two years later, in 1910, the much
named Count of Chinchona and his
wife returned to Spain. and as the
Countess Ana brought with her a
quantity OF the healing bark the dis
tinction is claimed for her Of being the
first person to introduce it into Europe.
Her physician, we are told, made a
large fortune by selling it In Seville
at 100 reals the pound. 1t was this
famous cure of the Countess Chin
chona that induced the great Swedish
botanist Linnaeus long afterward to
rename the whole genus of quinine
yielding tree ''cinchona in her honor.

Hou snaksa e.t over GROUND.

Although the snake appears to have
no legs or feet. it may be said to be
practically supplied with upward of
hundred pairs of them. In fact. each
Joint of the backbone bears a pair of
ribs. which are mobile and have their
points attached to the inner surface of
one of the large transverse, platelike
scales which clothe the undersurface
of the body Thus by the movements
of the ribs attached to it each plate
can be drawn forward and its margin
applied to the ground. By the success
sive application of these muItitudinous
plates the body can be drawn forward
in a straight line without its being
thrown into undulations from side to
side. But rapid movements are also eff
fected by such fluctuations, and ser
penis can by pressure and appropriate
muscular action climb trees and some
times spring forward. They also swim
easily by lateral fixtures, but no ser
penis advance by vertical bendings OF
the body, though they are so often
drawn in such an attitude.

A drum of an extreme responsiveness
Of nature is one used by the lamas OF
Tibet at some of their church cere-
monies For this the craniums Of two
skulls, preferably children's, are taken,
and over the concave side Of each IS
stretched the skin of snake. The two
skulls are then cemented at the YER
tice to either side of wooden disk COW
cred with a cotton cloth, the stretched
skins being outermost. These drums
are often ornamented by having the
heads of devils and such like horrors,
the more repulsive the better, painted
upon them In red and blue colors. The
method employed in playing them is
rather curious. To the wooden disk
between the two halves cord Is fas-
tened by which the drum can be sus-
pended and then rapidly rotated. Two
short cords with knobs at their ends
hang down in such a way that as the
drum revolves they strike alternately
on either face and thus produce rag

pouI+iced With Mud.

A noted explorer recently returned
from central Africa tells Of unique
method employed by his companions
and himself to alleviate the dreadful
agony Of prolonged thirst. In parts OF
the dark continent there are great
stretches of country where no water
fit to drink is to be found, although
there are here and there pools OF thick
stagnant mud. In such country the
party wandered for five days without
water and might have persisted but for
an idea that occurred to their leader
Following his advice and example,
they collected the stagnant mud wher-
ever it was to be found and made II
into long poultices, which they fas-
tened round their bodies next the skin
This simple process they found to give
great relief.-London Answers.
