DOSE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE
How a Group Of Artists In Etaples
Humbled the Naughty McNeill
Whistler.

Tradition has it that once the late
Mr.. James A. Mcneil Whistler was
fustered, and the story is told by an
artist who was visiting an exhibit
ton of his works in the Metropoli-
tan Museum of Art. The painter
had cultivated an air of hauteur
as one of the adjuncts of his gentle
art of making enemies and affected
not to see or recognize even those of
his profession whom he intimately
knew.
He wandered into q cafe in
Etaples some years ago, where he
found several of the artist colony of
the little French town playing bill
lizards. They had seen him coming
and had resolved to give the "Only
One" a dose of his own medicine.
As he approached not an eye was
turned in his direction. He sat
down near the table, watched the
game and finally asked if he could
play.
The artists stared at him as if he
were some intruder from another
land.

IGNORANT MAN WAS PRcFAME
u He Knows What He Is Talking
About, He Is Not Likely
to Swear.

Two men were disputing violently
as to matter which we knew a good
deal about. They were strangers.
and we simply overheard them. They
seemed to be mad and each contend
ed, with much gesticulation and
some profanity. for his side of the
case. Now the fact is neither knew
what he was talking about. They
were both ignorant of the fact in
volved. They had seen half or
quarter of it and thought they had
seen it all.
Ignorance is inclined to get very
demonstrative. 1t sometimes, very
often, gets wild and swears. When
a man swears in an argument. then
it is pretty certain he is wrong. The
truth doesn't make man swear. 1t
tends to soften him and subdue his
emotions. And when a person gets
violent and begins to rage and swear,
he should stop short and say to
himself: "There, | am wrong again.
| will build a little altar to truth,
send up some sweet incense, and
maybe ! will win her back" Or
some such recourse to clarity ones

IMMUNE TO SNAKE POISON
lerot Showed No III Effects Of Viper
Bite-Case of Pig and
Hedgehog.

The remarkable combats of the
Indian mongoose with venomous
snakes, in which it always comes off
victor, are well known. The fact
that it invariably survives has led
to the suggestion that it is immune
to snake poison. Other animals said
to be immune are the pig and the
hedgehog.
With regard to the mongoose, in
deed, this immunity has been denied,
and if bitten it is said to fall vic
tim as rapidly as other animals. If
this be true, then it must owe its
victories to its wonderful agility in
avoiding the bites of the reptile
However this may be, some recent
experiments of M. G. Billiard show
that an animal of the dormouse
family must be added to the list of
the immune.
This animal is known as the lerot
and is said to fight fercely with
vipers. M. Billiard injected large
doses of viper's poison into the lerot
and found that no i'll effects fol-
lowed. On one occasion, again, one
of them was bitten badly on the eye
by viper and no signs of poisoning
followed. There can, then, be no
doubt that the lerot is immune to
snake poison.

GRANDDAUGHTER OF NAPOLEON.

A granddaughter of the great Ma
poleon is now teacher in one of the
municipal schools of Paris. We are
told that the old Parisians still re-
member well an old gentleman who
used to be seen in the streets, walk
ing with much dignity, carrying a
dog whip and followed by big dog,
which bore the traces of age. The
old man preserved to the last YES
tiges of elegance, was known as '1e
Comte Leon" and was a son of Ma
poleon |. He died in 1881, leaving
a widow and an only daughter. The
widow had hard struggle to edu-
cate her daughter, but by taking a
situation as lady's companion she
was able to do so. The daughter is
now the schoolmistress before re-
ferred to.

MAKING THE AGENT USEFUL
Practical Woman Of To-day Wants
Sewing Machine Man to Do
Useful Stunts.

"Nerve?" said the sewing ma
chine agent. "It takes people who
buy sewing machines to give first
class illustration of nerve. The
things they want to practice on
when learning to sew is what floors
me. There was a time when the
agent who was giving instruction in
the management of sewing ma
chine did stunts with little squares
and diamonds of silk to show the
possibilities of the machine. But
the modern customer objects to such
waste Of time. She hunts up
something useful to seam and tuck
babies dresses, aprons, shirt
waists, and, as an extreme example,
pair of overalls.
att won't take any longer to
teach us with these things than with
those absurd little gimcracks,' says
the practical woman, 'and then there
will be something to show for your
work
"And what can the poor agent do ?
In a sense the woman is right. 1t
won't take any longer, so in order to
make a sale the agent turns himself
into kind of dressmaker's and
tailors apprentice.

BURGOMASTER WORTH WHILE
CIty's Municipal Head Well Earned
Unique Distinction Accorded Him
by Grateful vIennese.

The fame Of Joseph Schoeffel, re-
Gently deceased, and for many years
burgomaster of Moedling, Austria,
probably had not passed Austrian
boundaries; nevertheless he was cele-
brated within them. His was the
unique distinction of being the only
Austrian subject to whom a statue
has been erected during his lifetime.
He won this honor by his successful
fight 40 years ago to prevent a
"ring" of spectators and officials
obtaining the ownership of the for
ests surrounding Vienna. He COM
PEELED the "ring" to sue him for
libel, won his case, and by his victory
obliged the government to make the
"Wienerwald" forever inalienable.
Hence the grateful Viennese hailed
him as the savior of the Wienerwald
and set up his image where all flu
ture raiders of the public lands
might see it and take warning. The
whole story is striking chapter Of
the true romance of conservation.

out in the woodshed and licked me
awful hard. If the editor makes
mistakes folks say he ought to be
hanged; but if the doctor makes
any mistakes he buries them and
people dassent say nothing because
doctors can read and write Latin.
When the editor makes mistakes
there is lawsuits, and swearing and
big fuss, but if the doctor makes
one there is a funeral, cut-howers
and perfect silence. A doctor can
use a word a yard long without
him or anybody knowing, what it
means, but if the editor uses one
he has to spell it. If the doctor
goes to see another mans wife he
charges the man for the visit; but
if the editor should go, he gets a
charge of buckshot. ANY college
can make a doctor to order, but an
editor has to be born.

PHOTOGRAPH IN SILHOUETTE
How an Interesting Collection Can Be
Made Easily from Profile
Snapshots.

Silhouette photography is not
new; it has been practiced in all
probability since impressions on sem
sitized paper were first introduced
in the fifties, says writer in the
Strand Magazine. I have also seen
some remarkable daguerreotypes and
ambrotypes in which the figures are
taken, probably by mischance, in
complete shadow. The chief draw
back to pictures which by accident.
or the lack of adroitness on the part
of the photographer, are made to ap-
pear in silhoutte is that the subjects
do not stand out in perfect profile.
There remains, however, another
plan, not less ingenious, and vastly
more entertaining in its results. 1t
consists in collecting profile snap
shots, or making them for the pur-
pose, and converting them into sill
houettes by the very simple device
of blackening with India ink and
cutting away the background with a
pair of scissors. A large album
may, if the collector be industrious,
be filled in this way with very fan
tastic and humorous specimens of
celebrities in silhouette, ranging
from royalties down to popular sing
ers on the vaudeville stage. The
quantity Of material at the disposal
of the collector is enormous, because
a wide range exists for his scissors in
the numerous pictures of crowded
race course Enclosures, garden parties
and military functions at which nu-
merous persons of celebrity are GUS
tomarily, if not invariably, present.

ADVERTISING DOGS CEMETERY.

For several years Parisians and
English visitors to Paris have made
pious pilgrimages to the dogs GEM
etery, on the lie DIES Ravageurs, just
outside the city. There they have
read with emotion such inscriptions
as "a mon Toutou ADORE" ga mon
nalou cheri" and many others Of a
similar kind. But it now transpires
that these tender tributes were the
invention Of some enterprising stone
carver who, when the graveyard was
opened in 1899, was given a monop-
oily for the tombstones to be erected
over the graves of the canine favor
ties. In order to attract others he
erected so stones in various parts of
the cemetery and engraved apocry-
phal inscriptions on them.

Busy at White Iron

The White Iron Lake Iron Min

getting their property in shape for
actual work. ]. P. Labrec, presi-
dent of the company is putting in
considerable time at the property
experimenting the work. The
company has secured the services
of gentleman named Plat of De-
troit, Mich who has charge of
the property. The mine at present
is being unwatered as rapidly as
the pump can do the work. 1t is
expected that a few days will
suffice to clear the mine of water
when the active work of shaft sink
ing will begin. At a certain
depth, drifts will be run to ascer-
tain the direction of the ore body.

WOMEN WHO DO THINGS.

The world is more and more in

who have gone about the matter Of

and efficient way. Mrs. Zahle, the
wife of the new premier, is said to
be an expert stenographer and has
been employed on the official report
ing staff of the Danish parliament
since 1895. She was the first woman
to work there as a stenographer and
was at first very much opposed, the
upper house being especially hostile.
When her husband made his open
lg address as premier she took
every word of his speech.

Drills are still operating on this
land and the results so far have

work of sinking shaft is expected
to start within a short time. Over
IS feet of a high grade ore has been

OLD WAYS OF PURIFYING WATER

Over 1000 years ago an elaborate
system of filtration was established
by the Egyptians to purify the wa
tiers of the Nile. In both Rome and
Athens hot water was drunk in
preference to cold by the small mi
nority who used water for drinking
purposes. Champier, writing in
1860, notes that the habit of drink
ing hot water was spreading among
all classes in France. "Some warm
it by holding over the fire; others
dip burning bread into it. Rich peo-
pie plunge a bar of hot gold into
their water before drinking it, and
the less wealthy a bar of hot iron,
while the very poor are content to
warm their drink with live coal"
