Gold as a Cure.

Cold of a certain intensity produces
not only hunger, but. as 1t has been
proved, health as well. Raoul Pictet.
the famous Swiss chemist, was max
ing experiments on degree of cold
considerably lower than any which
occurs naturally. and he found that
at temperatures between 110 and 15O
below zero no covering Of any kind
would keep cold out. or. more exactly.
would keep warmth in. There is moth
ing surprising about that. The sur
prise is In the result. M. Pictet is a
gentleman who has suffered greatly
from indigestion. After an exposure
of several minutes to the cold which
he had produced he experienced a SEN
sation of hunger which he has de-
scribed as ravenous. When he had
eaten he experienced none Of the tor
lures Of his ailment. and when he had
alternately frozen and eaten three or
four times he found himself entirely
cured.-London Telegraph.

A Boston physician was describing
a weeks drive that he took last fall

districts of New England.
II saw much that was memorable

keen old man. He amused me and

During the evening the question of
the unreasonableness Of womankind
came up for discussion. 'Ah,' said the
old Justice. woman is unreasonable.

there is no living creature so unreason-

hxmnoloaical lneptitude.


The story of minister who held
religious meeting in penitentiary and
aroused the ire of the inmates by an
nouncing as a hymn that one begin
ming "The dying thief rejoiced to see"
is equaled by the tale of a local
preacher whose church got in debt not
long ago. A congregational meeting
was held for the purpose of extricating
it. and the chairman Of the board Of
deacons, OF whatever the financial body
was. got up and stated the situation
and ended by calling for II special col
lection to make up the deficit.
2 II suggest that we sing hymn" one
of the members of the church sug-
gested.
This idea was carried out. and the
number of the song was announced. A
smile overspread many faces, however.
when they reached the line. when we
asunder part it gives us inward pain"
Nevertheless the 'sundering" process
was most successful and wasn't partic-
ularly painful charlottesville Cou-

Tailed EngIishmen.

Natives of southern Arabia believe
that Christians wear hats only to hide
their horns. Formerly the continent
of Europe clung to the conviction that
the Englishman's neither garments con-
cealed tail. So late as the reign Of
Edward VI. according to Bale. Ian
Englyshman cannot travayle in anoth-
er land by way of marchandyse or
any other honest occupyinge. but it is
most contumeliously thrown into his
tethe that all Englyshmen have tails" ="
The belief probably arose from the
legend of the "Kentish Longtails.
The people of either Canterbury or
Strood (for the legend varies) Knocked
at Beckett as he rode by on an ass
and cut off the ass tail. Wherefore
they and their descendants were cursed
with tails thenceforth. At least so
said testers of other countries, and the
slander eventually reacted upon Eng
land In general. Another version sub
stitutes st. Augustine and Dorsetshire.
