A Plate With a History.

A former resident of Albany has on
the sideboard of his New York home
an oldtime blue china plate which has
history well known to the family.
'Tn the winter Of 1851" so the story
always begins, "the ice broke after a
sudden rain and warm spell, and the
water came upon us so quickly that
we children were bundled out Of the
house to the home of friends who
lived further away from the river. The
table for next mornings breakfast had
been laid In the basement dining room,
and when the water went down enough
so that one could 60 to that room
some Of the plates and cups were found
frozen to the ceiling, for 1t turned aw-
fully cold after the water was in the
houses. And that's one Of the plates
that didn't break when they all fell
or" One of the children says that
grandpa always told it that way, and
II must be true."-New York Tribune.

A Moroccan Charm.

Moroccan wives have a most elabo-
rate recipe for winning back the affec-
lions Of an unfaithful husband. First
the deserted or suspicious wife draws
q straight line in pure honey from the
middle of her forehead down to her
chin and collects the drippings in a
spoon. Then she rubs the tip Of her
tongue with a fig leaf till It bleeds
and soaks seven grains of salt in the
blood. This she mixes with the honey
adds more salt which has been carried
for day and a night in a tiny Incl
sion in the skin between her eyebrows
and finally adds a pinch Of earth from
the print OF her bare right foot on the
ground The dose is then put into the
erring husbands food and. according
to Moroccan tradition. never fails to
restore him to his allegiance.

Vary Scientific Punishment

Here is a charming description of cor
poral punishment as given in American
schools and prisons. 1t is taken from
one Of the leading newspapers of Italy
and will astonish some people here as
much as it probably astonished the
Italian readers:
THE most incorrigible persons are
led with eyes bandaged and hands
shackled to a bath in which there is a
little water. They are stripped and
made to lie down in the bathtub. In
the water is a wire leading from one
pole Of an electric battery. Another
wire leading from the other pole is
placed in contact with a sponge which
is applied to the bare body Of the pris-
oner. Each time 1t touches him he re-
ceives an electric shock that feels ex.
actly as If he were being whipped.
''The punished youth, being unable to
see whence the blows come. suffers all
the more and is soon under subsection

cannibaIism and Sentiment.

The civilized world Is agreed in re-
garding the practice Of cannibalism as
reprehensible and detestable. But an
article in the Gazette de Hollande is
devoted to proving that the popular
ideas of cannibalism. and in particular
of its motives, are completely false.
The cannibal is generally represented
as a degraded being led to an inhuman
practice by the grossness of his appe-
tites. On the contrary. insists the
Dutch writer, the vast majority Of can
nibals are such against their own wish
es, obeying the voice of sentiment.
Some respected the dead man during
his life and are anxious to insure n
worthy burial for him. Others are
prompted by the desire to assimilate
the dead mans virtues in the process
Of digestion. while third class are &C
tuated by motives Of revenge and find
their satisfaction in this supreme In.
suit Either piety or vengeance is the
cause Of cannibalism.

Seasick Fish.

Fish become i'll and die from seasick-
ness when carried long distances upon
the ocean, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. For that reason many rare
and interesting specimens captured In
tropical countries cannot be brought
alive to northern points for public in
spection. In recent shipment Of 400
fish from Key West to New York more
than 100 died on the way and the re-
mainder arrived in a condition that re-
Quired heroic treatment to save their
lives. According to this 1t may be pre-
sumed that the agony endured by hu-
mans when the ship begins to pitch
and roll is as nothing compared with
the same sufferings Of tank inclosed
fish. AS a precaution the fish are fed
practically nothing for at least one day
before being taken on board. The gal
vanized iron tanks in which the fish
are carried contain from ten to fifty
gallons OF sea water kept at a constant
temperature of about 60 degrees by
steam from the ships boilers during
the trip.

A Legal Comedy.

The conservatism of the law as 1t Is
practiced in Philadelphia received an
Illustration recently in the loud sum-
mons by the clerk of the court to Will
liam Penn. Richard Penn and John
Penn to appear in court in order that a
certain title to land of which they were
the original grantors could be cleared
Of an encumbrance.
No one suggested to his honor, the
president judge of common pleas No.
4, that William Penn had been dead
200 years. and his sons Richard and
John nearly as long. There was no
need of such a suggestion. Every one
within hearing of the clerks voice
knew that it was a vain show and an
empty form that was proceeding be-
fore their eyes. Through the idle cry
ing Of the names Of men two centu-
ries dead the demands of the law were
satisfied and a title was cleared.-Case

When an Animal Chokes.

Few emergencies which arise on the

choking. In cases Of this kind we have
never known the white Of an egg,
when poured down the sufferers throat
TO fail to give relief. To administer
the egg quickly and surely 1t should be
broken into a wide mouthed bottle.
When such a bottle is not quickly
available, however, any ordinary bot
tie can be used by using a funnel to
get into 1t, and where a funnel is not
at hand one can be made by rolling a
piece of paper into the desired shape.
When everything is ready the animals
head should be raised as high as pos
sible, the bottle thrust far back in
the throat and the contents emptied.
The egg will Immediately pass down
and make the throat passage and the
offending obstacle so smooth that 1t
will pass on into the stomach.-Farm
