Queer Cure for Consumption. . | Some of the English papers announce the accidental discovery ol i what appeared to be a cure for con- i sumption by means of the ammoniated t gases generated In the production of t maggots for fish bait la an establish-: t ment near Bradford. The United I States consul at Bradford, in a report I to Washington, says: “While engaged ( in this work, it is said certain per- I sons known to be suffering from tuber- i culosls have regained their health.” To Cultivate Memory. The best way to remember a thing I Js thoroughly to understand it, and i pften to recall it to mind. By read- j ing continually with great attention, | and never passing a passage without 1 understanding and considering it well, 1 the memory will be stored with knowledge, and things will recur at times ,when we want them, though we can never recollect the passages or from whence we draw our ideas. A Wrong Choice. There is no act, nor option of act, i possible, but the wrong deed or option j has poison in it which will stay in your veins thereafter forever. Never more to all eternity can you be as you I might have been had you not done ' that—chosen that. You have “formed | your character,” forsooth! No; if you I have chosen ill, you have deformed It, [ and that forever!—Ruskin. Already Used to It. Manager—“ That young woman | whom I placed at this counter a year ago already knows more about the business than you do, and I find that I I shall have to put her at the head of ithe department, though I fear It will I be rather unpleasant for you to be ' .under her orders.” Clerk —“O, no; I |am getting used to that. We were | married last month." —Stray Stories. A Little “New Woman.” A tiny West Newton miss Is rei sponsible for the following version cf the Adam and Eve story, we believe: I “God made Adam and he put him in i a big garden, an’ Adam he was so, so | lonesome; an’ then he putted him to sleep, he did, an’ then he took out his brains and made a woman of the. i brains, an’ then Adam he wasn’t lone- ' some any more,”—Boston Transcript A Cure for Snoring. Here Is a simple cure for snoring, on which a correspondent has lived as a happy married man for 38 years. “Put a clove in your mouth.’’ That’s all. It will keep your mouth closed and will be there still in the morning, having compelled you to breathe through your nose all night. Waste Paper to Buy Organ. A novel plan has been adopted by . the parishioners of Hanwell (Eng.), in order to raise funds for a new church organ. The members of the congregation are now saving all theli j waste paper, which will be collected from time to time and sold In aid of . the fund. Frenchman’s Family a Large One. A farmer of St. Usurgues, in Saone-et-Loire, France, has just had his thirtieth child baptized. The old gentleman, whose name is Bossut, has been married three times and has had 17 sons and 13 daughters. Twenty-two of his children are still living. Incomplete. A German statistician has calculated that, roughly, there are 1,200,000,000,000 bees in the world. It is, of course, impossible to give the exact figures, as so many persons hide their bees in their bonnets.—Punch. ’Motors Displacing Horses. London takes the census of certain busy streets every year. One of the tacts adduced by it is the progressive displacement of the horse drawn vehicles by those propelled by motors. Os Two Evils. Speaking of jumping from the skillet into the stove, there is the gent who takes to chewing tobacco as an antidote for smoking.—Atchison Globe. Dry Roots. Dry roots make an intensely hot flic with no smoke, so watch your drift pile, as they are sure to be there, as they are light as a cork and porous as a sponge. — Hedging. “Bad luck to you, Dugan,” says Doyle. "Good luck to you, Doyle,” says Dugan, "and may neither one of us be right.” Saves Clothes of Rider. A saddle that a New Jersey man has | patented includes a leather flap to | cover the buckles that frequently wear i out a rider’s clothing. Russian Oysters Poor. Moscow’s oysters come from the i Black sea. They are not larger than 1 the end of orie’s thumb and cost five i cents apiece. Very few are eaten. Shoes of Snake Skin. Shoes made of snake skin are worn ' by many ultra fashionable .English ' women this year. I

Grown Cautious. Chatty Lodger (to landlord) —“You teem to have seen a good deal. What are you?" Landlord—" Well, sir, I Were a lion tamer, and I'd be there now if I ’adn’t a-married. But you see, tny wife were a knife-thrower in the same show, and she got to practicing her turn on me. Well, thinks I, life ain’t too long to run no risks, so I took on a safe job and become a steeplejack."—Punch. In His Power. • "How effusively sweet that Mrs. Blondey is to you. Jonesey,” said Wlthereli. “What’s up? Any tender little tomance there?” "No, Indeed —why, hat woman hates me,” said Jonesey. '’She doesn’t show it," said Witherell. ’*No; but she knows I know how old she is—we were both bora on the same day,” said Jonesey, “and she’s afraid I’ll tel! somebody."—Harper’g weekly. Wanted Corroboration. “Now, Rastus," roared the major, H what is the use? Don't you know that I know you are lying?” “Ynasuh,” replied Rastus; “but yer see, Marse Henry, I kind o’ thought I'd like to hab yo’ opinion on de subject befo’ I decided dat I was lyin’ fo’ sho’ mahself. Now dat yo’ says I is, Marse Henry, I jest reg’larly knows I is, suh.” —Harper's Weekly. How to Converse. In conversation men should not talk to please themselves, but those that hear them. Were this rule generally observed, it would make them consider whether what the speak be worth hearing; whether there be either wit or sense in what they are about to say; and whether it be adapted to the time when, the place where and the person to whom it is spoken. Good Advice for Preacher. Among the stories related by the late Rev, Dr. A. F. Pierson was one of la marble-cutter, with chisel and hammer, working a block of stone into a statue. A preacher who was looking on said: “I wish I could, on hearts of stone, deal such transforming blows!” “Perhaps you might,” was the workman's quiet answer, “if, like me, you worked on your knees.” Always Better to Laugh. Jane Jones said "Laughin’ at trouble Is a sight more sensible than cryin’ at it. I’ve seen whole families broke up by one measly little quarrel, jes’ because none of ’em had sense enough to know when ’twas time for laughin’, You can't stay mad long if all you gli is laughin’ at an’ fun pokin'.” Good Idea in Belgium. At Brussels a central library, consisting at the outset of 10,000 volumes, is to be created, and any inhabitant of any part of Belgium who owns a postofflee savings bank book will be entitled to borrow from it and receive by mail any book for a fortnight Healthful Mattresses. All children should have separate beds, if possible, and mattresses ar« far more healthy than feather beds All counterpanes should be removed ai night, for they are heavier thar blankets, and not good on the bed during sleep. Provided for by Nature. Moles and the mole cricket have thf same problem to negotiate in cutting caves in the ground, so here an insed and an animal both have the same shaped forelegs and shovel like hands claws. All Buried at Public Expense. There is at least one country in th« world where it costs nothing to die, In some of the cantons of Switzerland all the dead, rich as well as poor, are buried at the public expense. When Conceit !s Strong. ’ Occasionally a man's conceit at[talus that superlative degree where [he talks glibly in his own interest hnd calls it working for the general good.—Atchison Globe. Fine Collection Got Together. All the animals, plants, minerals and precious stones mentioned in the Bible are found in a special collection shown at the Natural History museum South Kensington, London, England. Naturally Opposed to Change. When a new government Is established, by whatever means, the people [aro commonly dissatisfied with IL— Hume. Religion and Business. Many of the cathedrals of Europe fire situated beside markets, and trafpeking is done upon their steps and clear up Into their recessed portals. A Thought Next to knowing when to seize an opportunity, the most Important thing In life is to know when to forego an advantage.—Beaconsfield. Hard Thing to Be Sure Os. A man is never sure a woman loves him till she tells him so herself, and even then he has a few guesses coming.—Exchange.
