A Safe Topic.

In his book 1.-The Balkan War" Mr..
Philip Gibbs, the war correspondent,
says that the official regulations for
war correspondents who were sent out
to the Balkans were appallingly severe
Mr.. Gibbs found that he was forbid
den to describe the disposition of
troops, to give the names Of generals,
the names and numbers of the wound
ed, the success or failure of Bulgarian
troops, the state Of the soldiers health,
the conditions Of the climate, and so
on. When the censor had told him all
this Mr.. Gibbs asked him politely:
"Will you tell me, sir, If there Is any
thing about which we shall be allowed
to writer
The censor thought deeply for a mo-
ment and then answered quite gravely:
"There is much interest in Bulgarian
literature"
Perhaps" Mr.. Gibbs suggested sar-
castically, 81 may also be permitted to
describe the song of the birdsT
"By all MEANS" said the censor cor
daily.

Fate of the Peanuts.

A popular author, who writes human
interest stuff for several newspapers,
went to the department of agriculture
in Washington one day and secured a
peck of diseased peanuts. The scien-
lists in the department were having a
hot argument as to whether or not the
peanuts, if eaten, would kill human
being, and the author took the edibles
to his Office to have them photograph
ed. He saw big story in the fact that
the high browed scientific men could
not tell when a peanut was fatal.
The next morning when he entered
his Office, he found that the whole peck
was gone. He instituted search, and
finally discovered that the colored jani-
tor had stolen and eaten the peanuts.
After keeping the janitor under oh
servation for three days and seeing
that he neither peeked nor pined, the
author abandoned his story and wrote
to the department:
"Quit arguing. The peanuts are
harmless. Popular Magazine.

spendlna.


Spending is merely putting out your
personality. 1t is like the trailing
feathers to peacock--like the long
train to fashionable woman. Why
does the barefoot negro boy acquire
four yellow dogs? They add to his
personality. Why do we all-shopgirls
and plumbers, fashionable literary
hacks and gentlemanly financial pi-
rates-spend every cent we get, hon
bstly and dishonestly, wisely and 9th
prwisty? We stretch out as far as we
can. and vanity, my friend, is the only
balloon that never bursts. Why does
the stag grow horns until It can hard
ly make its way through the forest2
And why did Absalom wear his locks
so long that the- caught in an oak
tree and held him until Joab and his
men came up? Vanity Vanity! In
some tribes they worship the fat man,
who has put much food under his glis-
tening skin Among other tribes they
worship you for the servants you en-
ploy without using. for the food you
purchase without eating. To spend to
use is vulgar; to spend to waste is the
only admirable and admired spending.

Necessities of Life,

A merchant in the West Thirties
takes pride in selling novelties, tricks
and puzzles-things that wiggle or
waggle or wuggle or woggle. He buys
instanter those clever mechanical in
ventions, toys and devices. They are
originated daily and die perhaps as
quickly. You know the kind When
you see them on the sidewalks you
stop and look. then dig your hand in
your pocket and say, "That's pretty
clever. I'll just take one of those
home" Then you make it wiggle or
waggle or wuggle or woggle for the
family, and the next day the spring is
broken.
How to display these things and
make department Of novelties was a
poser Finally, however, he Jumped
them in one corner of his establish
ment and hung over them this descrip-
ton:
"These are things you don't know
you are obliged to have until you see
them" And standing room in that
corner is at premium.-New York
Post.

Fourteen In a Bed,

Hospitals are SO plentiful and 50
efficient nowadays that we are apt to
forget how we have advanced since
the bad old times" An account is
given in the London Hospital of the
work done by the Hotel Dieu in Paris
a century or two ago.
The herding together of patients was
a marked feature, and, though the
beds were big, 1t is startling to read
Of twelve or even fourteen being placed
in one. Up to the seventeenth CEN
tury four posters were in common use,
and the brilliant idea that the con-
valescents might be provided for on
the solid canopies was duly carried
into effect The patients mounted by
ladders. 1t is stated that IN 1892 no
fewer than 63,0O0 persons died Of
plague In the Hotel Dieu alone

Official Cats,

Nowadays there do not appear to be
any human rat catchers on the estab-
lishment of the civil service, but some
government offices maintain cats for
this work. At the general postoffice.
for example, there is a staff of cats
charged with the duty of protecting
his majesty's mails from rats. In re-
turn they are provided. out OF the pub
lie purse, with free board and lodging.
The staff of the Deptford vfctuafing
yard includes cats. In France cats
are specially trained for government
employment. To fit them for service
among military stores they are at first
sent for one or two voyages on war
ship. If they prove equal to killing
the rats always found In the holds of
large ships they are promoted to a
shore billet.-London Standard.
