American Just Returned From Londoi
Explains Why He Would Like
Short Rest.

How restfuI it is. to sit in an Amer
lean theater in war times" exclaimed
a man who had Just returned from
London the other night.
''Soporific, perhaps, but why rest
ful?" he was asked.
You just go over to London and
sit through a performance in one of
their theaters and see for yourself
he replied. Lord Those everlast-
ing, confounded national anthems
Four of them they play every night
And four times the entire audience
stands stolidly up on its hind legs
while those hymns are played. Not
with any enthusiasm, mind you. re
HgiousIy, dutifully, soIemnly, just like
family prayers. First God Save the
King then the 'Marseillaise,' then the
Russian anthem, and finally the Bel
gian. And at every theater there is
the same routine. Personally I al
ways liked the 'Marseillaise' and the
Russian national hymn because they
were magnificent tunes. But after {

Cured by Suggestion.

Mental healing has long been prac-
ticed, but Doctor BerilIon of Paris as
serts- that psychotherapia is the medi-
cine of the future. He does not put his
patients into an hypnotic trance, but
places them in an environment which
creates the appetite for sleep and in
vites them to repose on a bed and
think of nothing. Then he leaves
them. They gradually succumb to the
tick-tack of a metro-nome.
When the patient is in a hynotic
s1umber, if it is desired that he should
be cured of excessive indulgence in al
cohol, the psychotherapist suggests to
him that he cannot raise a glass OF
absinthe to his lips. and repeats the
suggestion until the prohibition is so
engraved on his brain that if he would
he could not do so.
Doctor Berillon is frequently con
suited by those. who wish to be cured
of an unhappy love passion Through
hypnotism they obtain their release.

HeaIthfuI Hints.

Eat fruit every day. Canned fruits
are good Cooked fruits are often
better than dubious fresh fruit, but
some fresh fruit is essential Eat
fresh green vegetables whenever you
can get them Thoroughly wash all
raw fruits. Eat some of the bulky
vegetab les OF low food value, like car
rots, parsnips, spinach, turnips, squash
and cabbage, to prevent overnourish-
ment
Eat slowly and taste your food well,
and it viii slide down and give more
nourishment than food eaten quickly
Never eat when tired or overex-
hausted, but lie down, even if only
for a few minutes, before dining.
Barley water is a safe and cooling
drink and is nutritious as well Put
into a pitcher one large tablespoonful
OF well-washed pearl barley, pour over
it two quarts OF boiling water, cover
and let stand until cold. Drain on
the liquid, add one-half cup of sugar
and little nutmeg. If liked the juice
of lemon is a pleasant addition.

sort of an armor to prevent the hot

After much planning assisted by prac-
teal suggestions from her husband
she shaped a pad which answered the
purpose and which bore some resem-
blance to the protector" of the pres
ent day. In a private tryout 1t worked
well and Charles, after permitting the
ball TO strike him repeatedly without
feeling jar, decided to use it in pub
lie. The innovation created almost as
great sensation as Bresnahan's shin
guards, but it made a hit with the
catehers and they were quite ready
to follow Benefits 1ead.-Leslie's.

GREAT FISHING AND HUNTING
Doctor Ellis Brings Home Stories OF
Wonderful Sport In Interior
Of Alaska.

DR.. C. J. Ellis, who has just re-
turned to Buffalo from a four-month
trip to Alaska, brings back stories OF
that territory which will make the
mouths of western New York sports
men water. The usual tourist route
is to Skaguay or one of the south
eastern coast towns and thence back
to Seattle Doctor Ellis went over the
long interior route from Skaguay over
the White Pass railroad to the head
waters of the Yukon and the whole
length of the river, some $500 miles,
thence out by way of Nome and back
to Seattle by the ocean route. some
5000 miles more making a trip from
Buffalo and back of some 1000 miles.
During his journey through Alaska he
took side trips into the interior to
several mining sections and into the
big game and fish country.
Before I went to Alaska" said
Doctor Ellis recently, to a representa-
tive of the Buffalo Express, ST thought
I knew what fishing was; but 1 did
not learn until I reached that country.
Now 1 know what fishing in a perfect
~ virgin stream is like. In the MI
lato, with a friend, we caught brook
trout Of from one to three pounds I'M
til we tired of it. We could have
caught four times as many as we did,
but what was the use of killing when
we had enough? I never knew any
thing like the way the trout rose to
the cast.
For time we stayed in a miners
cabin so miles back from the Yukon
with Jim Muir, a nephew of John
Muir. On the way in, moose was
killed from the wagon in which we
were riding. We just missed a herd
of 10000 caribou. There were bears
all around"
Doctor Ellis brought home a large
number of specimens, including two
perfect mastodon teeth, one of which
| he has promised to William T. Horn
aday Of New York. He also brough
home many photographs Of the scenes
along his journey.

TEACH SMALL BOY TO READ
Practical instruction Given Through
an Old Typewriter, With Good
Results.

In the Woman's Home Companion
a mother, writing under the title. BE

her experiences teaching her small
son at home.
Like most boys" she says, ours
was always interested in anything
that would go and he hailed with de-
light the announcement that he might
play with an old typewriter. He did
not know that cur reason for granting
the privilege was that he might IN
consciously learn to read and write
1 wrote on the machine: John is z
good boy using the capital letters be
cause he was most familiar with them,
and allowed him to copy the sentence
until he asked for another. Then fol-
lowed such simple statements as:
He has some ice I like her cat and
so forth. Before long I found that the
child was not using the copy at all;
he explained that he did not have to
because he could spell the words him
self
THE next thing was to explain how
to write those same sentences as We
did, to place a capital letter at the be
ginning and a period ct the end. We
were surprised to see how short :
time it was before he was ready to
learn to write.
John had some pIaymates who
went TO school and had learned &c
read, and he begged me to teach him
Not thinking he was quite ready but
unwilling to discourage him in his am
bition. we bought q ten-cent copy c.

MASONIC SIGN SAVED HIM
Potent Signal Used by English EngI.
neeF on Blockade Runner Dur
Ing the Civil War.

A story published recently describ-
ing how a Belgian saved himself and a
number of his countrymen from execu.
ton, by showing a Masonic sign to
the officer in charge of the German
firing party, recalls an incident in
the American Civil war which was re.
lated to our parliamentary correspond
ent by the late Sir William Allan, the
giant engineer who sat for some years
in parliament for Gateshead.
Allan as a young man was adven.
turous, and early in the Civil war he
engaged in the hazardous business OF
a blockade runner. His steamer was
In due time captured by a Federal
gunboat off Charleston, and boarded.
AS the boarding officer came up the
side, Allan went below to reduce the
steam, which had been forced up be,
yond safety point during the pursuit
He was Immediately followed by the
officer, who put pistol to Allan s
head, and said: You're going tC
blow up the ship." ooh, no, I'm not. ,
replied Allan; 81 am going to prevent
her blowing up" You're a liar
snarled the Federal, and he raised his
pistol arm again.
AT the same moment, Allan, by E
sudden inspiration, made a Masonic
sign. The officers arm dropped al
once, and he said, taking Adams hand
That's all right. Now you take the
ship into port"
And there was no more trouble
except that Allan was sent prisoner
to Washington and had some thrilling
adventures before he regained his
freedom through the instrumentalit!
