NO MORE OF THAT MEDICINE
Mary Had Her Mind Made Up as to
Further Doses of UnquenchabIe
Compound.

A Yonkers, NJ Y. physician had a
negro cook who was chronic COM
palmer. One day she came in groan-
ing with a misery in her side and the
doctor offered to prescribe for her.
He went to the dining room, poured
out q spoonful of game sauce. stirred
in some English mustard and sprin-
killed. on some cayenne pepper. and
handed the dose to the sufferer, telling
her to take it down at one swallow.
1t was two weeks or more before
Mary turned up with new pain. This
time 1t was in her other side Her
employer offered to mix her another
dose Of his medicine.

What Every Woman Knows.

A Cleveland school teacher writes
that she asked her class what was the
difference between the expressions, "a
while" and "a time" Nobody seemed
to have any ideas on the subject.
Finally the light of intelligence was
seen to shine in the eyes OF one little
boy, and the teacher called upon him
TIC save the intellectual honor OF the
class.
ST know, teacher!" he cried eagerly
when papa says he's going out for a
while, mamma says she knows he's
going out for time!"
That's one way of looking at it,
Cleveland Plain Dealer.

zEBRA-1ONKE A SUCCESS

The creation OF a new type Is al
ways interesting; the effort OF the gov
eminent to breed zebra-donkey, or
zebra-horse is particularly SO since
tley already appear measurably sue
cessful. The animal breeders OF the
department of agriculture were I'M
pressed some years ago with the
splendid conformation, large size and
great beauty of the big Grevy zebra
which was presented to President
Roosevelt by King Menelik Of Abys-
sinia, and which found home at the
National Geological park at Washing
ton. The zebra was bred to donkeys
and the resulting hybrids are appar-
emily great successes. a half dozen

productions OF the strongly marked
black and white stripes of the zebra
stallion, but their parentage is evident.
They are. however. as hardy. appar-
entity. and endure the climate or

The striking feature of the cross
breeding Ia that the hybrids show a

ton and disposition. The Grevy stall
lion weighs 500 pounds and is 1914
lands high, and while he is a beauty
he is not particularly affectionate: on
the contrary he is vicious. The aver
age weight OF the donkey dams Is $50,
twelve hands high. The weight of the
hybrids when only year old was 300
and they stood twelve hands high.
They have good action, a neat, clean
cut appearance, and are as gentle as
horses foals of the SAM age.
The hybrids ought to be tough, for
the zebra in Africa is about the tough
est thing in the horse line in the
world, and he apparently loses none
of these qualities by change OF resi-
dence. The hybrids, then, should de-
velop into animals with much greater
endurance than the mule. and should
be almost as large.
The zebra in Africa is immune to
many diseases and pests which kill of
horses and mules, and 1t is expected
that the new hybrids will prove them.

away is pointed out as the place where
the father of all Baldwin apple trees
formerly stood, the original tree itself
having been blown down In terrific
gale early in the last century.
In 1895 the Rumford Historical as
ISOLATION erected a monument to mark
the site of the old tree. The square
granite shaft is surmounted by great
stone apple to represent perfect spe-
cimen of the Baldwin variety. The
date OF the discovery of the ''pecker"
tree Is given on the monument as
1898, but there is considerable doubt
as to the correctness OF this date.
There is little question, however, as
to the location being the proper one,
although at one time no less than six
towns near Boston and one in Maine
were claiming the honor of having pos
sessed the original Baldwin tree. As
it is, the surviving members OF the
Buffers family believe they should not
be ignored, as it was Buffers who
first domesticated this variety, and the
Thompsons naturally think that the
apple should really bear their name.
as Thompson ives first to start 1t on
its road to fame
The whole question as to the origin
OF the apple had become such an in
volved one that the state legislature
took hand In the f1fties and appoint
ed committee to investigate the mat
ter. This committee determined what
it believed to be the exact location OF
the original tree on the Buffers farm
and marked it on the state map OF
Wilmington.

DEATH HARVEST OF JUNGLE

Deaths from attacks by wild ami.
mails In India are increasing in num-
Der. Rising waters have driven ser.
penis from the louland jungles up to
the villages, and have diminished
through drowning the natural food
supply of the larger wild beasts. Over
1000 persons were killed in 1910 by
elephants, tigers, hyenas. bears. leo
pards, wolves, wild pigs and other
animals. Over $4,000 were killed by
snakes. The grand total of mortality
was nearly $4,000 persons. At the
same time $4,000 cattle were killed by
snakes and wild beasts. The inhabi-
tants Of the jungle also suffered by re-
prisals on the part of their human enc
mics Ninety-one thousand snakes
and 10000 wild beasts were killed.

a considerable cash on his forehead.
His wife demanded an explanation Of

WATER USED BY ONE CITY

Taking the whole population Of the
world at 1,5OO,OOO.OOO people, some
idea can be formed of the vastness OF
New York's water supply. II every
man, woman and child on the face OF
the earth were to walk up to the lakes
and reservoirs which supply New York
city with water, and each to pour in
two gallons of water, 1t would not be
enough to last that city ter days.
