the peculiar whims and caprices of &C.
centric members Of the public with
whom he is from time to time brought
I'm contact.
A lady once sent her son a pair of
trousers by book post, which is, Of
cheaper than parcel post. The
postal officials wrote to her: Clothes
cannot be sent by book post. If you
will refer to the ~postof1ce guide you
will see under what conditions ar
.ticles may be sent by book post" Aft
Ter a few days, the lady replied: Il
have looked in the %postof11ce guide,
and find that articles which r open
lat both ends may be sent by book post.
And If trousers are not open at both
ends, l should like to know what is."

NECESSARY FOR LIFE
Proof That Wine Will Not Serve tho
Purpose Where Frenchmen
Arc Concerned.

The French schooner Argus, strug-
Cling against headwinds to get from
Dieppe to Marseilles, according to the
dispatches, ran out of water and for
three days the rev had nothing but
champagne and claret to drink. Near
ly every man was disabled by fever
and acute gastritis. 1t was with the
greatest gratitude that the captain Of
the Argus snapped several cases of
champagne for a few barrels of water
from the Oceana, a Bombay liner.
Psychologists will say correctly that
there is nothing new in this expert
ence. That wine will not take the
place of water and keep men in good
condition, has been known as long as
wine has been known. Three ele-
ments, however, in the story of the
Argus make it q striking lesson, en-
phasizfng an old truth. First, the men
were Frenchmen, with the French
mans habit Of taking wine daily; Sec
ond, the wines they drank as a substi-
tute for water were presumably pure,
and the claret at least was relatively
light; third, the three days Is a very
short period for the disabling of a
whole crew.
1t is mighty lucky for the human
race that a water trust is conceded
impracticable.

Unkind Reminder.

The dialogue between President
Taft and the Chicago newspaper men,
In which he spoke feelingly Of the
time when Cincinnati considered her.
self a rival Of Chicago as to popula-
tton, and his home city's having re-
duced her "brag" now to age only,
reminded a former resident of Gin
cinnati of this story: Some years
ago a number of commercial travellers
met after business hours in the lobby
of a big hotel in Chicago and the va
rious cities which they "drummed"
were the topic of conversation. The
travellers we're nearly all New York
ees and the vulnerable points of the
various cities were attacked. A Gin
cinnati whisky salesman in the crowd
took up the cudgel for his city, and
among other things in its favor spoke
of it's beautiful suburbs, it's good beer,
its fondness for music, it's educational
institutions and its patronage of the
fine arts. There's one thing you
haven't mentioned" said a st. Louis
man. Cincinnati isn't as dirty as
ittsburg."

MAPLE SYRUP BAD vARNIsH
.stabIeman Gives Employers Automo.
i bile Coat Of Sweet Stuff In
Mistake for Paint.

Riverhead, l.. County Treasurer
Charles E. Fitz is fond of maple syrup
:on his hot cakes, but he does not care
much for It for use instead of varntsh
on his best runabout.
: Fitz runs a livery stable in South
hampton and recently. a quantity of
fine maple syrup was sent to him by
a friend. When it arrived in a big
can an employee of Fitz thought it
was varnish and put it in the carriage
house. He did not say anything to his
employer about the can.
Fitz, before starting for Riverhead.
told one Of his men to varnish a light
colored wagon. The man went to the
carriage house, got the can Of maple
syrup, and set to work vanishing the
wagon. When Fitz got home he didn't
like the appearance Of the wagon, but
the man assured him the varnish was
Of excellent quality.
In his examination of the wagon
Fitz learned the "varnish" had a sweet
taste, and he called for the can from
which it had been taken. Then the
discovery was made that the "varnish"
was the maple syrup. There is enough
left to permit Htz to enjoy his hot
cakes. 80 the employe wasn't fired.

An Amateur of Wives.

Luther Burbank, at the cactus din
e that he recently gave in Santa
Rosa, said:
"As we all see, the fruit of the cac-
tus Is not bad. Some people, though,
would turn from cactus with horror,
Tastes differ. One man, such a man
as myself, for instance, finding a sim
gle wife too many, remains unmarried.
Another man. like Cetewayo, finds a
thousand wives scarcely enough.
when Wolseley conquered Cete-
wayo. he took nearly all his wives
away from him. l believe he left the
monarch only a half-dozen or there
abouts.
"Cetewayo. day after day, sent pite-
GUS messages to Wolseley, pleading
for the rest of his wives, but the Brit
ish soldier refused sternly.
when Wolseley came to leave the
country. Cetewayo. in desperation,
sent this message to him:
eff you will not send me any more
wives, will you not, at least, be enough
of a gentleman to exchange the six I
have for six others?'"

Unique Birthday Celebration.

An unusual function took place at
Brighton, Eng, one day recently
when a large gathering of medical
men and others met to celebrate the!
second birthday of the local "SiameseI
twins" DR.. Rooth, the practitioners
who attended them at birth, says:I
1.-THE children r doing very well. and
are quite up to the normal size for
their age. They are showing signs
o. considerable intelligence. and can
converse In a fashion with each other.
They play and quarrel, and are al
ways in good health. There is much
more mobility than 1 expected there
would ever. be between them, but SO
far their efforts to stand have not
been successful. They have a wooden
framework, in which it is hoped later
on that they will be able to learn to
balance themselves; but I fear walk
ing will always be a labor to them.Y
Violet and Daisy, as the twins have
been named, have developed a decided
taste for sweetmeats beloved of the
normal child, and each has her Teddy
bear.

The British Census.

In England a census is taken every
seven years. In the United States the
work costs some $4,000 0 in Eng
land, with a population of $4,000, 900,
the work Is done by regular public of.
fcials without extra cost. There the
census" is taken on a certain day at a
certain hour, usually Saturday at II
p. NJ, because most people are then
at home. Printed circulars have been
sent by the police to every family
and to the owners of all lodgings and
hotels. These circulars contain blanks
which must be filled. The police round
up passers in the streets. Sometimes
a cranky Englishman who, for rea-
sons Of his own, does not want to
figure in the census. tries to evade the
government by riding around all night
in a cab. Ten chances to n he will
not succeed in his purpose. Cabs are
stopped as unhesitatingly as are street
al or pedestrians. The government
wants to know. The government will
not be denied. The work is done sim
ultaneously throughout the United
Kingdom.

His Life Enriched the World.

Happy is the man who knows how
to enjoy his leisure in a way to allie
viate the cares of life. Such a >man,
says the Springfield Republican, was
DR.. Matthias Cook, a physician Of
Utica, N. Y, who recently died at
the age of 70 years. He was a lead
ing member Of the Oneida County
Medical society, but beyond his pro-
fessional work did other things well.
He was well known as a singer. He
had a famous flower garden. He made
an chronological collection of over
5000 specimens, which he CAV to
the Utica Free academy. He became
known through the world as a raiser
Of high-bred pigeons. He had a rep
utation for microscopical studies. He
gathered a collection of postage
stamps. which he finally sold for
$4,000. Besides all these things, no
physician in Utica did more charitable
work than DR.. Cook. He would seem
to have been as well entitled to be
called an "all-round man" as anybody,

DEFECTS OF THE EYEsIeHr
Curious Connection Between the Or
gans OF Vision and the Teeth
Has Been Proved.

Many eye defects, of course, r due
to the bad habits of their p%ossessors.
Tobacco. for instance, is generally
to impair their vision, usually in
1uring the color sense SO that gold and
silver become indistinguishable. Ac-
cording to some medical authorities,
again, the connection between eye
and tooth trouble is more than an old
w1fe's fable. In his book dealing with
the subject, Hancock relates the story
OF a boy who woke up one morning to
find himself blind. On examination,
his teeth were discovered to be
crowded together, and a few of them
were removed, with the result that by
evening he could distinguish between
light and darkness. More teeth were
removed. and in II days his sight was
fully restored. Other cases which
tend to show the connection between
eye and tooth trouble have also been
noted. Very frequently occupation has
much to do with one or other eye de.
fect. Thus, nystagmus is sometimes
known as the miners disease.
