Der which pleased the most was Miss

small but nimble chorus and a night
scene in one of the canons of New York
City. The audience was small.

"Pam's" Little Joke.

Doctor Butler, the master of Trim
ity, who was entertained by the Har-
row association recently, told an in
teresting story of Palmerston. He re-
membered, he said, one speech day
when Palmerston went. 1t rained the
whole day. Palmerston galloped
down from the Cambridge house. He
came and sat for two hours in his
wet clothes listening to the speeches.
He went out at the end not bit
abashed in spirit, and stood with the
governors and a number of the boys,
and began to speak.
Doctor Butler" He was corrected,
and told it was "Mr." Butler. Il beg
pardon" he said, "Mr. Butler. No
man should be doctored against his
will"
Another story was to illustrate the
fact that sometimes logic was over
come by personal feeling. He remem-
bered many years ago meeting little
boy riding on his pony. He said to
him:
Il suppose you always wish the best
side to win. / believe we are going
to play Elton. Do you wish them to
VIM"
mo. certainly not" was the answer.

SEE USEFULNESS OF CAMEL
Importation Of Animal Into This coun-
try May Be Productive of Great
Deal of Good.

News comes from the insiders that
the camel is to be imported into this
country and domesticated and in
creased so that he may vie with the
useful COW. The camel used to live
on this continent several aeons ago.
He was driven across Behring strait
by the ice. 1t is hoped that he may
take up the threads of life where he
left off. The camel is extremely use
full. He can subsist without high balls
or ice water. Cancels milk makes ex-
cellent cheese, and shawls made from
camers hair are a splendid covering
for old gentlemen. AS a means of
exercise the camel is not to be des-
pissed.
Perhaps, however, the best use of
the camel will be as an example
to our rich men. Most of them are
likely to forget how difficult it is for
camel to go through the eye Of the
needle. But when camels begin to
mingle with our scenery advertise
ments and are seen occasionally walk
ing up and down Fifth avenue and
Pennsylvania avenue, who knows but
that these humble instruments Of pro-
violence may serve as object lessons
and thus be useful in other ways than
to satisfy merely material cravings

Too Much AthIetIcism.

Gas guardians of the public health,
it is time for us to make a stand
against this athletic craze" writes a
medical correspondent. THE swing
ing of ponderous clubs and dumbbells,
rowing heavy machines, pulling up
weights, walking 10 or 20 miles a day
chasing a golf ball, ETC., are needless
and injurious to anyone. AS physi-
clans, we prescribe moderate exercise
for Emphatic and obese patients of
torpid temperament, and a few indi-
Gated movements to straighten up a
detected spine or round shoulders,
etc, but We are careful to guard
against fatigue. Such exercise is a
very different thing from the severe
and senseless efforts required by
teachers in gymnastics and exercise
fiends.
"If people would live long and
healthy" says the correspondent,
they should take their exercise under
the advice of a common-sense physi-
clan. The wrenching Of muscles, ten
dons, ligaments, joints, nerves and
6loodvessels," he proceeds, is giving
as all kinds of puzzling conditions,
traumatic neuroses, dislocated Wis
cera, etc, traceable to overexercise, If
we only knew where to look for it.

Gold and silver Coinage.

Gold and silver coins were author
ized at the same time by an act OF
congress in 1892. but copper coins,
cents and half cents. were issued be.
fore either gold or silver. The coinage
of copper cents and half cents began
in 1898. of silver coins in 1874 and gold
in 1875. The first gold coins issued
were the eagle, or ten-dollar piece, and
half and quarter eagles. The double
eagle, twenty-dollar gold piece. was
not issued till 1s49. and the only piece
OF that year known TO be in existence
is in the mint at Philadelphia. From
1s49 to 1881 not single twenty-dollar
gold piece was coined. but since 1881
the coinage has been continuous.

We want to thank you, Marie, for
letting US know in time, but to be
real candid we don't want to be loved
your way; mighty few men do. 1t all
reads beautifully, but most men don't
like the same kind of books their
wives do. Most men hate to be sung
to; and as for being the very eyes

like to be left alone much of the time.

band, see that she shows discrimination
and anxious care in the choice OF food
and drink for herself.
Never marry a woman who Will
have high tea when you are not at
home to dinner. The same remark
applies to the woman who looks on a
dinner properly selected and carefully
set up with the fitting accompaniment
Of glittering glass and spotless cutlery
as merely a pandering to the brutal
instincts of man."
This was told by an expert who has
studied the question.
IF mothers would only teach their
daughters" he added. ito enjoy their
food and make 1t joy for the hus-
band, there would be fewer disastrous
marriages.
The majority of women toy with
their food and do not understand the
enjoyment that a large meal we'll pre-
pared and properly set out gives to a
healthy man. How often does a wife
profess a quiet disgust for her hus.
band who insists on having good
meals.
Il know a man whose wife will only
occasionally eat good meal with him.
AS consequence, he very rarely dimes
at home.
"Quarrels are often the result, but
the wife does not for a moemnt be-
lieve the cause of these is her inabil-
ity to eat well in sympathy with her
husband.
Country girls generally make bet
ter wives than town girls, simply be-
cause they are good eaters.
"The average man feels miserable at
good dinner with nobody to eat with
him."
