A Wealthy Soldiers Idea.

Australians still tell stories of ths colonial volunteers. although the war Is far memory. One. @ member of the Stock Exchange, was left one wet and miserable night to guard wagon load of goods. He shivered in the un- sheltered place for some hours ponder ing many things, and then a bright thought struck him just as the colonel :ame around on his tour of inspection
 Colonel" he asked, "how much is his wagon worth?'
 'l don't know" was the answer Much or little, we can't afford tt lose it,
 "Well, but, colonel" persisted the amateur soldier, "you might give me 1 rough idea of the value."
 About f200," said the colonel testify.
 "Very well," was the answer; q will come down to the camp and give you check for the amount. Then I'll turn in. wouldn't catch my death of old for twice that much"
 What the colonel said is not record. sd.- Melbourne Times.

Fourteenth Century Doctors.

Synge's Social Life in England quotes number of fourteenth century hints to success for physicians:
 Suppose you know nothing. say there IS an obstruction of the liver. Perhaps the patient will say. "Nay, master, it is my head or legs that trouble ,ae." Repeat that 1t comes from the liver, and especially use the word "obstruc tion," for patients do not understand It, which is important.
 Never dine with patient who has not paid you. It will be cheaper to get your dinner at an inn, for such feasts are usually deducted from the surgeons fee.
 When you are treating a wound o. accident, the friends of the patient should be excluded, for they may faint and cause a disturbance, but some times higher fee may be got from persons present fainting and breaking their heads against wood and the like than from the principal patient.

\ Domestic Hen.

Joe Jefferson used to tell this one:
 'In the spring of 1892. being in the vicinity es West Swanzey. N. H., drove ever to call on my old friend, Den Thompson. It happened that l called at an inopportune time, as tha women folk were housekeeping. In fact, I noticed as I drove up to the house that the clotheslines in the yard back of the house were laden with carpets.
 "Den was very anxious that I should look over his prize fowls, in which he took especial pride We went out into the big yard back of the house. Ar Den was pointing out to me his favoeA ites we noticed one old hen going through some queer antics. She was pecking away at something on tho ground, lifting 1t in her bill and drop ping it again.

Secret Society Among sess lslandera
 The Sese islanders have attained . peculiar notoriety in Uganda because of secret society called the Bachichj, which is not burial society, although its members take a deep and intelli. gent interest in all deaths and burials in their midst. In the more retired vil- sages. although greatly discouraged by she British authorities, it is said to be still the custom for the sorrowing rel. atives to bear the body of the deceased wrapped in bark on a rough bier to some forest thicket, desolate ravine or other unfrequented spot, where 1t Is left unburied by the bearers. who nev. IT revisit the place again. The Bachi hi. who are denizens of neighborins village, and distant relatives of the deceased avoid the necessity of burial or cremation and show their respect tor the deceased by simply eating him

Very h1isIeadino..

BatterSby callle across this interest luz item in the household department: 'if men would answer their wives kindly and courteouSly when asked for money it is undoubtedly true that the amount requested would not be half as much as it would bn if the husbands reply was surly and antag Onistic"
 Battersby read this item over twice to make sure he grasped it's meaning, and just then his wife entered the room.
 George" she said, "I want some money"
 Battersby smiled affably.
 "Yes, my dear.' he pleasantly re. marked, "and how much do you Want?"
 Mrs. Battersby stared at him in amazement.
 "1 said I wanted some money"
 This time she spoke with much dis ttnctness.
 And l asked you how much you wanted" Battersby merrily reminded her.
 Fifty dollars!" she snapped.
 Battersby almost tainted. He had imagined she was after $5 and that his genial tone would cut the amount to S25O.
 But he handed over the fifty with. out further ado-and then tore the misleading item into infinitesimal ragments.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

COUNCIL PROVIDES
LICENSE FOR CARTS
Regular Meeting of Council Tuesday
Night Was Devoted to General
Routine Business.

The city council met last night in
regular session and disposed of con-
siderable routine business.
The finance ordinance was passed
making appropriations for the various
claims against the city and for the sal
aries of the city officials.
The grading and eurbing on Gunter
street was accepted and warrants or
dered issued against the abutting prop
erty to pay for the same.
The fire committee was empowered
to make contract with Webb brothers
for the use of the present quarters for
the fire department 1t is probable
that the new contract will be only for
a few months, as II is the sense of the
council that the rental on the quarters
is too high, and unless a material re-
duction is made it is probable build
ing will be erected by the city for a
fire station.
An ordinance was adopted providing
for license of 81 per month for all
lunch carts, or vehicles of any kind
operated on the streets, from which
lunches of any sort are offered for
sale. ta4. "

The American Civic association
numbers thousands of individuals and
hundreds of societies as members from
jail parts of the United States and
Canada. In addition to the attend
ance of members the governors of
the states, all of whom are honorary
members, have been asked to appoint
delegates to participate especially in
the sessions devoted to state parks
and to city planning. A cordial re-
,sponse of state executives indicate
that there will be a large representa-
tion of such delegates.
The headquarters of the association
were established at Washington last
January and this will be its first con-
vention ever held in the capital city.
With particular reference to the fur
ther beautifying of Washington, a
principal address by William M. ELI
Icott, of Baltimore, will suggest great
national forest park in the environs of
theh city, which will be to the United
States very much what Versailles is
to Paris and to all of France.
