The Chair Of Torture.

The most prominent building in the
ancient city Of Nuremberg is the cas-
tie. One of its two towers was used
for torture; the other served as prison
The castle also contained museum Of
horrors until it was purchased by the
Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot in
whose possession these relics now lie
One of these was the chair of torture.
It was very heavily made and studded
over the seat and at the elbows with
blunt topped spikes. To it the victim
was tightly bound, and in short time
discomfort segan to manifest itself and
In time became unbearable During
its continuance the torture was increas-
ed In several ways by means Of wedges
being passed between the legs and
screws being applied to the thumbs

Thousands of people keep on
suffering with Neuralgia because
they do not know what to do for it.
Neuralgia is pain in the nerves.
What you want to do is to soothe
the nerve itself. Apply Sloan's
Liniment to the surface over the
painful part-do not rub it in.
Hloan's Liniment penetrates very
quickly to the sore, irritated nerve
and allays the inflammation. Get a
bottle of Sloan's Liniment for %
cents Of any druggist and have it
in the honse against Colds, Sore
and Swollen Joints, Lnmbago,
Sciatica and like ailments. Your
money back If not satisfied, but it
does give almost instant relief.

The Faults of Others.

Charity does not require of us that
we should not see the faults of others,
but that we should avoid all needless
and voluntary observing of them and
that we should not be blind to their
good qualities when we are SO sharp
sighted in their bad ones. What If
others are weak, is that a reason for
your no longer keeping any measure
with them? You that complain of
their troubling you, do you give mo-
body any trouble? You that are SO
shocked at the faults you see-if al
to whom you have been troublesome
should return the trouble they have
had with you. you would be oppressed
with the weight. and, besides, even
supposing that men had nothing to re-
proach You with. yet consider, further,
what obligations you be under from
God to show forbearance toward 9th
ers for which you know you have such
abundant occasion at his hands,

Whom They Minee the Mic.

In the Sudana campaign as the Brit
lsh troops approached Omdurman the
Khalifa Abdullah conceived the idea
of upsetting the British gunboat ex-
petition by mining the Nile. A former
officer of the Egyptian army whom
he had long held prisoner was order
ed by the khalifa to construct couple
of mines, which were produced forth
with. They were primitive in form,
consisting. in fact, of two old iron
boilers stuffed with gunpowder, In
which was concealed pistol with q
string attached to the trigger whereby
the charge could be exploded. The
first mine was laid by the Ismailia,
worked by native crew, and demon
strated its efficiency by exploding on
the instant, sinking the Ismaiiia and
killing the crew. including the mine
constructor.
The khalifa was delighted, not at the
accident, but at the testimony to the
power of the invention, and immedi-
ately ordered the emir in charge Of his
arsenal to lay the second mine. The
ameer, profting by experience, insured
his safety by putting the Nile into the
boiler before he put the boiler into the
Nile. He then carried out the INNER
sion successfully, to the joy Of Abdul
lah, who loaded him with presents
and praises. y Manchester Guardian.

Are Foxea MERCHANTMEN

Foxes are not generally accredited
with vegetarian instincts. You never
see their tracks, as you see those Of
rabbits, around young oak tree shoot
which has been nibbled down to the
tough stem. But Aesop evidently
thought otherwise when he wrote his
fable Of the sour grapes, and there is
plenty Of testimony that Aesop was
right Foxes do eat wild grapes, as
many observers have testified, climb
ing considerable way to get them,
and probably at times they eat berries
and perhaps apples. I have found their
tracks, at any rate, beneath apple
trees. have also been confidently as
sured that they eat the persimmons in
Virginia, that the .ol' houn' dawgs'
know how good this fruit is, too, and If
you wish to find the avery best bee tree
take "dawg' with you. = Walter

German Soldiers Yell by Orders.

Here is curious instance Of the
German way Of doing things. The
German military system does not take
into account the natural impulse Of a
charging, excited trooper to yell any
way under the vociferous conditions Of
a battle. He is commanded to yell as
part Of the shock action to which each
man must contribute to make overpow.

actually is drilled in individual charg
ing to yell at certain point in the
charge and is severely criticised If he
does not make noise enough. 1t is the
same with singing. The Germans are
naturally a musical people and sing
spontaneously. but with regiments In
the field songs are started and stopped

A Joint Concern.

When Richard Brinsley Sheridan

resources was that of writing for the
fugitive publications of the day, in
which he was materially assisted by
his wife. and many years after his
entrance into the spheres of politics he
was heard to say that IF he had stuck
to the law he believed he should have
done as much as his friend Tom
Erskine; butt continued he. II had
no time for such studies. Mrs. Sheri-

keep writing for our daily leg or Shout

To the average man an invitation to

at once terror and secret pride. To

dinner is usually taken as recognition
Of wit and knowledge.
The toastmaster's speech should be
very brief. IT he is good speaker

length imposes unfair competition upon
the real speakers, usually visiting
guests, whom he is to introduce. If
the POSTMASTER is poor speaker he
bores the audience and the waiting
guests as we'll And in any event
every minute occupied by the toast
master is robbery Of the time Of the
real speakers Of the evening, and an
after dinner speaker may have real
message that needs delivery, and the
long drawn introduction, with side
lights and anecdotes, win really cheat
the audience of something worth while.

The Expected Happened.

The Honorable Jesse D. Price, elected
to fill the unexpired term in Congress Of
Judge Covington and for the full fern in
the Sixty. fourth Congress, has run true
to form.
Mr.. Price has the honor OF misrepre-
senting the only congressional district in
Maryland that is absolutely dry. In con-
versation with one of his friends the
writer was informed that he was so
seriously cut by the rum element in his
district on account of his support Of the
Eastern Shore Anti-Shipping law that he
almost went down to defeat. Had it rot
been for the loyal support given him by
the temperance Democrats Of his district
his political pelt would now adorn the
front door of the Republican head
quarters.
According to statement Of one of his
own campaign managers these high
(, grade Democrats saved him from poIiti-
ical humiliation at the hands of the wet
element of his party; yet, at the first OPP
portunity Mr.. Price votes against the
wishes of his friends and with their enc
miles. Such is political gratitude. o
Lord, how long!
We cannot help but use this to illus
trate the necessity of defeating any can
didate with known pro liquor sentiments
and affiliations 1t will never be possible
to get dry legislation out of men who
have trained for long years with the type
Of politician represented by the Balti-
more whisky crowd. We know that
many who voted for Mr.. Price did SC
with grave misgivings, but they had his
written statement that on this question
he would vote in harmony with the
wishes of his constituents. Anyone famil-
lar with the Eastern Shore citizenship is
we'll aware that If National Prohibition
would ever be submitted to popular
vote that the nine counties comprising
Mr., Prices Congressional district would
vote in favor of it by not less than three
to one.
Concerning his attitude on National
Prohibition if elected to Congress. Mr..
Price said: II have never taken posi-
tion on National Prohibition. and If am
elected to Congress shall try to act on
it in accordance with what / conceive to
be the best interests Of the country. carry
ing out at the same time the wishes OF a
majority of my constituents"
Nobody is deceived. Price ran true tc
form. He is wet. Has been wet irorl
the beginning and will be wet to the end
0ur only consolation in the matter is that
be will never again be elected to Con.
gress to misrepresent such sterling con.
stituents as are found in bic district

Gutter Children That Thrive Where

London gutter babies are Immune to

Thomas works In the most congested

families live and sleep in 5000 rooms.
"Some of these babies" he says, ''as
soon or even before they are able to
crawl. are placed on the sidewalks

nursed by a girl Of four or five years.
They are true gutter children. Some
times the Immature nurse falls asleep.

crawls to the other side Of the road,

and gutter stained. but they seem to
live. In fact. the stock from which
they have sprung rises superior to the
ordinary diseases of childhood" Among
the cases reported are these:
"A baby four months old was given a
piece of raw fat and bacon to chew,
because the grandmother said bacon
was good for babies and canaries.
One baby was dosed with stout and
aniseed by the mother as a cure for
collie.
Another baby Of nine weeks was fed
chiefly on weak tea.
