I'm the happiest little woman,
In all this little town;
And my merry laugh and singing,
Takes the place of sigh and frown.
For JOHN HAS QUIT HIS DRINKING
And is like himself once more.
And the world is just paradise
With such happiness In store!

And said, that's John exactly.

And put 1T in his tea
And It didn't taste little bit;

And ! watched and prayed and waited
tAnd cried some, too, guess),
And didn't have the greatest faith,
I'm ashamed now to confess.
And John never thought minute,
He was being cured of drink,
And soon he's as well as any one,
1t makes me cry to think!
Just makes me cry for gladness,
I'm so proud to be his wife
Since he is cured of drinking,
And leads nice, new life.
"since John he quilt a-drinking,'

And hates and loathes liquor
As he would poison stun.
And when say my prayers at night
As thankful as can be

scarinc the Conscience.

OF all her curious customs London
cannot boast of more singular one
than that formerly SO strictly adhered
to at Holland House. one OF the most
historic old mansions in the British
capital. The last Of the Lords Holland
shot himself during a at Of despond-
ency. Everything pointed to clear
case of self murder. yet the Holland
family could never be dissuaded from
the notion that the old man had been
murdered by some unknown assassin.
Accordingly every night for years it
was the custom for one of the family
to go to the rear Of the house punctu-
ally at II O'clock and fire gun for the
purpose, it is said, Of soaring the con-
science Of the murderer. This curl
Gus practice is relic Of medieval
days in continental Europe, and the
case in point is probably the only in
stance where it has been noticed since
the days of the crusades.

Lord March, afterward the Marquis
Of QueensberTy, was not accustomed
to view duel with unbecoming APP
prehension and usually attended an
affair with an air Of enjoyment that
often was decidedly displeasing and
embarrassing to his adversary. But
he was served at last with that sauce
which the proverb explains is for the
gander as we'll as for the goose. 1t
was when he was challenged to fight
an Irish sportsman. Lord March ap-
peared on the ground accompanied by
a second, surgeon and other witnesses.
His opponent arrived soon afterward
with similar retinue. but added to
by person who staggered under the
weight Of polished oak coffin, which
he deposited on the ground, end up,
with its lid facing Lord March and his
party. Lord March became decidedly
uncomfortable when he read the In
scription plate, engraved with his own
name and title and the date and year
of death. and peace was patched up.

BY and by there was vacant seat
next to the one he had given up to
the woman, and he sat down once
more. The woman turned and looked
at him amusedly. He could feel her
gaze, even though he made bluff at
being intensely Interested in his paper.
Pretty raw, it seemed to him, for a
woman deliberately to take the seat

COOKS SHOPS.
They Were the Beginnings Of the
Modern Restaurant.

They Were the Beginnings Of the
Modern Restaurant.
In primitive times the only places
in London where the public could be
entertained with food had been the
cooks shops. The famous East Cheap
was great thoroughfare, down which
the stalls Of the butchers alternated
with those Of the cooks. You chose
joint at the flesh market. and you car
ried it next door to be cooked for
you by a certain hour. IL you wished
for wine, you must bring that with
you, for the cooks sold no liquor. al
though they seem to have provided, as
time went on, more and more of the
natural accompaniment Of meat. such
as bread, vegetables and pastry.
This habit continued until well into
the reign Of Elizabeth, and so long
as such an fnconvenient custom pre-
vailed there could have been no real
comfort for any citizen who chose to
dine abroad. He must have had as
much trouble with porterAge and bas-
kets as country party has today at
picnic. But about the time that
Shakespeare came up to London a
remarkable change took place in the
customs OF the town. and the practice
Of public hospitality and entertain
ment was singularly facilitated.
The nature of this change lay in the
sudden development of the tavern and
the consequent withdrawal of the
cookshop. The worshipful company
Of pastelars. as the cooks were called.

viding hot meals Edmund Gosse in

ways of checking the ravages OF
tuberculosis among school children
The first way is 10 instruct every
school child about the dangers Of
the disease, and to show them how
they themselves may prevent tuber-

method is to establish open air

PIGEONS, Air Sacks.

The air sacks Of the pigeon, says
Bruno Muller. constitute a system Of
interspaces the value Of which lies in
their emptiness-that is, absence Of
weight and resistance. Flying is pos
sible only t body of high mechan-
ical efficiency. and we attain this with
machines Invested of all superfuous
material. Just SO the original reptiles.
which by evolution became birds. were
Invested of superfuous material. and
the body spaces thus obtained were
filed with air sacks. The body wall.
adapting itself to the mechanical re-
duirements. became a hollow cylinder
serving as a support for the organs Of
movement. the mobility of whose parts
was assured by the surrounding air
sacks. The ar cavities in the bones Of
birds are similarly explained.

nerves for the eye and are claimed to
cover fully one-third of the gray mat
ter at the base of the brain. From the
medulla arises the pneumogastric, the
nerve that governs the organs of di-
gestion, heart, liver, lungs, kidneys,
etc, arising also in the gray matter
of the medulla. The gray matter is
the power, energy, producing element,
of the nervous system. NOW, II IN
stomach, liver, kidney and bowel dis
turbances we could give all the nerve
energy to the distressed organ, don
it look reasonable that that organ
would get more blood and increase in
vitality? If the eyes are hyperopic or
exophoric don't it look reasonable that
they will consume energy that belongs
to the vital functions because of the
origin of the eye nerves and the nerve
governing these functions? Converg-
ence uses more nerve energy than ac-
commodation. So, if we absolutely re-
lieve all effort of both accommodation
and conveyance, don't you think that
the nucleus of these functions will be
placed at rest and all other nerves
from this point will receive the en-
ergy formerly consumed by converg-
ence and accommodation?
