FOR RESCUE FROM THE BORE
Society for That Purpose FIourIshed
Exceedingly In Paris Under
the Second Empire.

Under the second empire bores
were so rampant that a sort of So
ciety or club v'as formed to fight
them under the name of the 'Rachat
des Captifs." 1t was a mutual aid
society, every member of which was
bound to come to the rescue of any
other in the clutches of a button
holing bore.
The signal of distress was given
by unobtrusively scratching the side
of ones nose, and a colleague on
seeing this was expected to inter-
vene and deliver his friend from cap
tivity.
The society was so useful and so
popular, even humanitarian, it may
be said, that it fourished exceeding
ly for many years and grew rich in
members and subscriptions.
Among its members was the vet
eran journalist, Ernest Blum, who,
however, was rather clumsy at his
work. He used to relate the follow
ing story:
zone day in passing the Gymnase
saw two men talking. knew one
of them and took off my hat to him,
whereupon he at once scratched his
nose.
81 of course thought he was a
member of the club in distress whom
| ought to deliver, so approached,
and not knowing exactly what to
say, cried out:
"My dear X, 1 am delighted to
meet you! l have an important
piece of news to tell you. Allow
me?' turning to the other man. Ger
tainly,' replied this gentleman.
81 took my comrade aside, saying !:
You know 1 have nothing at all to
tell you! 1 had only wanted to res
cue you-that is ALL Rescue me
from what?'
why, from the borep What
more?' The man you were talking
to, naturally But he is my ia
Their p"
Poor Blum had CHANGED upon
somebody who was not a member of
the society ard who had merely
scratched his nose absently or be-
cause he wanted to-which may hap
pen to any man.-I4es Annales.

GRINDS ROOTS FOR POULTRY
Machine Intended Mainly for Chop
ping Cabbage viii Be Found Of
Convenience for Fowls.

The grinder is intended mainly for
chopping cabbage when making sauer-
kraut, but II is also OF much service
in grinding vegetables and roots to
be cooked for poultry, says the Popu-
lar Mechanics.
The base, A, is made OF a plank, at
least one foot wide and four feet
long, with a nine and one-fourth by
nine and one-half inch hole cut in the
center. The grinding part or cylin-
der Is made of wood three inches in
diameter and nine inches long, with
eight-penny nails, spaced three-six-
teenths inches apart, driven partly
into it and then cut off so as to leave
one-fourth inch projecting. The
cylinder is turned by means of a
crank attached to the end of the
shaft.
A hopper, B, is constructed four
by nine and one-half inches inside
measurement at the bottom and as
large as necessary at the top. A
space is provided at the bottom as
shown to receive the concave c, which
consists of a one-inch board, three to
four inches wide and nine inches long,
with nails driven in and cut off as de-
scribed in the cylinder.
The hopper is securely fastened on
the top of the Dashboard and over the
cylinder. The concave is slipped into
place and held with wedges or by driv-
ing two nails in just far enough to
fasten it temporarily. The concave

Bt CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY.

In speaking of PERSONS faults
Pray don't forget your own,
Remember, those with homes of glass
Should never throw a stone,
If we have nothing else to do
But talk of those who sin,
IT'S better to commence at home
And from that point begin.
We have no right to'judge man
Until he's fairly tried,
Should we rot like his company
Well, we know the world is wide,
Som may have faults; and who has not?
The old as we'll as young;
Perhaps we may for ought we know
Have fifty to their one.
III tell you of better plan
And find it works full well;
Try my own defects to cure
Before of others tell;
And though sometimes hope to be
No more than some l know,
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faultO of others go.
Then let us when we commence
To SANDER friend or foe.
Think of the harm one word will do
To those who little know;
Remember, cures sometimes like
Our chickens, "roost at home"
Don't speak of others faults until
We have none of our own.
