The Easiest Way.

A company of select colored artists
we're rendering a version of "Othel-
To-" The scene between the Moor'and
Desdemona had been reached, where
in Othello demands the handkerchief
which he has given his wife as a we'd
ding amulet.
, "Desdemona," he cried, fetch me
dat han'kerchief!"
But the doomed lady only babbled
of Cassie, and her liege lord shouted
again:
IT asst TO- de SECOND time to git me
dat han'kerchief!" +
Still the fair one parted the issue
with talk of Cassie, and the lordly
Othello, now thoroughly incensed,
beloved: Z
Woman, TO- de third and las time
l tell you to git me dat handkerchief!
Away" Y ~
And as he was about to open his
mouth agaiE a big, leather-lunged
patron in the top gallery shouted
down at him: -

The old gentleman had ~prospered
In business and took his son into
partnership. The young man appre-

A week later the son appeared IN

King Edward and the Church.

The King follows the example of
Queen Victoria in attending the ser
vices of the kirk when staying in
Scotland. Like her, he is an Angli-
can at Carlisle and a Presbyterian at
Lockerbie. High churchmen have
been bitterly annoyed by the rigorous
fashion in which the Scottish Episco-
pal Church has always been ignored
by the court. This intruding and
very pushing sect has never been rec
ognized at Balmoral in any way what
ever, and the hope that better times
would arrive with a new reign has
been entirely Observation-Disclosures

The venoms of serpents, fishes,
scorpions, centipedes, spiders, BEES
ETC.. as we'll as the blood of the eel,
owe their virulence to the presence OF
toxins similar to those which are Sc
GREETED by bacteria. In both cases the
toxins are specific products of the &C
tivi.y Of living cells. They are very
poisonous, ron-crystallizable collolds,
of unknown chemical constitution
The venom toxins are very sensitive
to the action of heat and light, are
easily destroyed by digestive ferments
and consequently are ~innocuous when
swallowed. There is a great variety
of these toxins. Snake poison alone
contains half a dozen distinct toxins
each of which exe7ts a specific action

white blood corpuscles, etc.

Pat had spent some time in Sara

a faro game that broke him. Pat
walked into a certain bank whose
president had the reputation of being

the presidents office and said:

bank"
What is your security" was the
first question.
Simply my word" replied Pat.
THAT won't do in the banking
business. Who are you?" asked the
president.
Pat sheedy, the gambler" was
the reply. .

Worth made to Pat in John Condon's
gambling house in Chicago that led
to the recovery of the famous Gains

when a stranger who had been win

Cleaning a Persian Cat.

Cats are very clean eaters, and al
ways like to have their separate
saucers, which should be of blue and
white enamel, and kept spotless. A
bowl is best for the ordinary cat, but
a Persian should have a plate, as they
are not so likely to get their long
hair into their food.
1t is bad for these animals to lie
about on cushions or near the fire, as
they love to do, andghey should be
provided with an ordinary round bas-
ket. Their coats should really be
brushed and combed every day, es-
pecially during the moultins. season.
as otherwise they swallow such a lot
Of the fur that comes out in cleaning
themselves.-New York Press.

THE GREAT LAWYER.
Theory That He is Born and Not
; Made is Asserted.

: Made is Asserted.
This is an age of Investigation and
of speculation. All sorts of inquiries
are propounded, such as what is a
Democratic" And now we have the
question: What is a lawyer?" One
respectable and eminent authority an
swers that he must have a collegiate
training and get his law learning: in
q law school. else he can never expect
to be other than a lease lawyer" and
not much Of that.
One opinion is that lawyers are
born, not made. Unless one have the
legal. mind" all the colleges and all
! the study in the world will not make
q lawyer of him, and if he be gifted
with the legal mind he will get to be
a great lawyer, although he never
saw a college and never read half
the textbooks. Abraham Lincoln was
one of them.
Robert Burns never went to COL
| lege, but he ranks among the greatest
poets of all the world. Ben Hardin
of Kentucky never attended a law
school, but he was the equal of any
lawyer our country, has produced.
To be a great lawyer, one must under
stand the philosophy, the science OF
it. All the study in the world, IN
college or out of college, and all the
experience the court room, can sup
ply, will not reveal the PHILOSOPHERS
of the great principles Of our jr-:s-

himself acquainted with the history
of the rule, when it was established
and the conditions that callsd it into

. John Marshall was not a learned

%precedents as Story WIS, or as any
other one of his associates on the
bench was; but he knew the principle
ard applied it to every case, and he
cared not whether there was prece-
dent or not. If there was, all well
and good; if there was not, he estab-
lished the precedent. Your. lease

The late William Lindsay, when on
the Supreme BENCH Of Kentucky, rem
dered an opinion about rents for the
occupancy of real estate, or some
thing of that kind-for this paper is
a layman and cannot hope to be
yersed in the nomenclature of the
profession. Judge Lindsay adjpdi'

America since its first settlement BY

PALACE OF BIBLICAL
KING Is ~UNEARTHED.
Seat of Apries, Contemporary
Of jeremiah, Disclosed by Exca-
vations at Memphis.

Professor Flinders Petrie, in CIV
ing an account of the work OF the
British School of Archaeology, said
the great result of this year at Mem
phis has been the discovery OF the
palace of King Apries, the Pharoah
Hophra of the Bible, who was a con-
temporary Of Jeremiah, B. c. 629-
5SS. Hitherto no palace has been
known in Egypt beyond the tower at
Medinet Habu and some remains OF
a rather earlier date.
Following are the details OF the
palace: Length, 400 feet, very i'm
pressive; breadth, 200 feet; middle
court. 100 feet square; painted col
umns forty feet high; seven stone
lined walls fifteen feet thick. n
approach to the palace led up through
a large mass of buildings to a plat
form at a height of about sixty feet
above the plain.
In the ruins a scale armor, hitherto
rarely found in Egypt, was dlscoV-
cred. Good bronze figures OF gods
were also found. What Professor
Petrie described as the one supreme
piece was q fitting of a p~alanquin OF
solid silver, a pound in weight, dec
Grated with a bust of Hathor with a
gold face of the finest workmanship
of the time of Apries the Great.
A, gateway and immense walls de-
scending deep into the mound indi-
Gated that there lay ruins of success
sive palaces built one over the other.
Professor Petrie predicted that in
six or eight years the excaVators
might dig down to the earliest records
of the Egyptian Kingdom.

Much Milk Wasted.

There is no real necessity for the
waste of milk that goes on in many
households in city and country! The
uses of milk are manifold, and say
ing means only a little matter of look
ing into the variety of ways in which
it may be used.
Eggs poached in milk are more
delicate for the family and more
nourishing for the invalid. says an
expert nurse. Breakfast rolls dipped
in milk before relocating in the oven
ARE made much more crisp and Of
sirable. A very dry loaf of bread
soaked in milk and then rebaked will
be so r~ejuvenated as to become a.
most a freshly baked loaf.
For the dyspeptic member of the
family bread on which fast boiling
milk is poured will not be an indiges-
tible supper. :
Indian meal should be boiled with
milk as a healthy supper for little
children, and eaten with cream as a
fat producing diet for too thin chill
dren. -.
Rice and farina boiled in milk are
more nourishing than the carelessiy
thrown together cereals cooked in
water. In boiling Indian meal for
fried mush milk or half milk as a
moistener will facilitate the frying
and produce a rich brown color and
a delightful crispness.'
Mornings milk yields more cream
than evenings, and that taken al
noon yields least of all.-1ndianapolis
