When He Died

"Poor old Ganby!" sighed the sen-tlmental-looking man with the thin aide whiskers. "What’s wrong with him?" growled the double-chinned citizen with the shaggy eyebrows. "He don’t need any of your pity, does he?" “Didn’t you hear about it?” asked the sentimental-looking man. "He’s dead. He died last Wednesday. Took pneumonia.” "He’d take anything he could get his hands on if the owner wasn’t looking,” said the double-chinned dtixen. "Well, if he’s dead, he probably is to be pitied.” "He's dead,” remonstrated the sentimental-looking man. "So you told me.” said the doublecbinned dtixen. "It's a long lane that hasn’t any turning. So he died a natural death, eh? I never expected it.” “Why?" "He took out? an aeddent policy for a year less than nlns months ago,” replied the double-chinned man. "He left quite a good deal of money, I heard,” said the sentimen-tal-looking man. "The first thlms in his life,” said the double-chinned man. "I don’t see how he brought himself to do it, at that. He must have lost consciousness at the last.” “Tut, tut!" said the sentimentallooking man. "When a man’s dead we ought to forget his faults and remember his virtues." "I can’t remember any that he had,” said the double-chinned citizen, "and my memory is a pretty good one.” "1 was at the funeral.” said the sentlmetnal-looking man. "The ser ” "Did they give him a funeral?” asked the double-chinned citizen. "Of course they did.” “I didn’t know. I thought perhaps—l beg pardon. Tou were going to say something about the sermon, weren’t you? I think be was a good subject for a sermon. Anybody there besides you?” "The family was there, naturally —and a few of his friends.” ”1 thought he had always lived in Chicago.” "What do you mean?” “Where did his friends then?” asked the double-chinned citizen. / ' “I’m mighty sure he didn’t have any here.” "Well, he wasn’t a man who had many intimates,” admitted the senti-mental-looking man. "I ain’t say I knew him Intimately, myself ” “If you had you wouldn't have attended the funeral,” said the doublechinned citizen. "I knew him fairly well. About S6OO worth, exclusive of attorney's fees. Still, I don’t know that I wouldn’t have gone If I had got an Invitation, Just to make sure. You're positive that he was dead, are you? You aren’t just telling me he is to please me?”

"I should hope that you wouldn’t feel pleasure to hear of the death of any fellow creature,” said the senti-mental-looking man. "I know you are not In earnest, though, when you say things like that. He was a good husband.” "He had to be," said the doublechinned citisen. "You saw his widow, didn’t you? A man would have to be good to her, unless he preferred the society of a trained nurse and the hospital atmosphere. So they preached a funeral sermon t Did. the minister mention his watch?” “No," repleid the sentimentallooking man, woaderingly. "Why should he?” “It’s customary to speak of a man’s good works on such an occasion,” said the double-chinned citisen. “I supposed that he would have to make the most of Qanby’a.” * "You must have disliked the poor fellow,” said the sentimental-look-ing man with the thin whiskers. "What makes you think that?” asked the double-chinned citizen,— Chicago Dally News.

Doubly Useful Mucilage.

"If you make your own mucilage (one heaping teaspoonful of gum arable to an ordinary mucilage bottle gives it a cheaper rate than that bought ready made), you can dispense with court plasters, liquid or otherwise, except where an lntiaeptlc is necessary,” says Women’s Home Companion. "Ordinary cuts can be coated with it quite as effectively as with the patent preparation. Two coats thoroughly dried will stand the application of water better than any. thing but what the adhesive plaster doctors use.

With Thanks.

John Bndd was a most sedate, precise and altogether exemplary young man. When he wooed and won Susan Smiley, the belle of tbo village, everybody rejoiced ht John’s good fortune. However, he bore his, triumph with modesty and decorum until the day of the wedding. Then for one awful moment, his air of aplomb failed him. When the officiating clergyman asked, "Will you, John, take this woman to be thy wedded wife?” John responded, bluahlngly. ”Tes, please.” - -

HEALTH AND FOOD.

A Doctor’s idea of a Perfectly Balanced Ail Yoar Round Diet That every one is more or less susceptible to tubercular trouble is a matter on which all old fashioned medical authorities are agreed. They tell us that we may pass through a phase and out again without knowing it. According to Dr. T. Y. Hull in the Dietetic Gazette, there is only one thing very certain, and that is that if we keep in good health or adapt ourselves to a perfectly balanced diet the danger is slight. He advocates a reduction of vegetable food, relying more upon butter, meat and nuts. Here, of course, one has to face the increased danger of tubercular meat itself probably a large contributory cause of consumption This is Dr. Hull's idea of a perfectly balanced diet, calculated to keep the average individual in perfect health all the year round: The basis for the diet is found in meat. eggs, milk, butter, bread, potatoes and fruit. It consists daily of two quarts of milk, five eggs, four ounces of beef, one and one-half ounces of butter, two ounces of nuts (pecan), four ounces of bread, three and one-half ounces of rice, three ounces each of potatoes, peas and oatmeal, one ounce sugar, one ounce raisins. one apple and one orange.

FOLLIES OF SCIENCE.

Beven Problems That Have 80 Far Baffled Man's Mighty Brain. The history of science has seven problems tbat men in ail ages more or less have tried to solve, but which have finally been given up by all. Today they are called follies. • The usual list comprises tbe following: First squaring tbe circle; second, duplication of the cube; third, trisection of an angle: fourth, perpetual motion; fifth, transmutation of metals; sixth, fixation of mercury; seventh, elixir of life. Some lists put tbe philosopher’s stone for the last three and then add astrology and magic to make the seven. TcLthe unlearned It would seem possible to draw a square which shall be exactly equal in area to a given circle, which is tbe first problem in tbe list, but we are told by tbe highest authorities that it Is impossible. Since the discovery of radium it is claimed that tbe change of one metal into another has been accomplished, but It is yet too early to dogmatize about the matter.—Chicago Journal.

Learn to Think on Your Feet.

It does not matter whether one wants to be a public speaker or not, a person should have such complete control of himself, should be so self reliant and self poised, tbat be can get up in any audience, no matter bow large or formidable, and express his thoughts clearly and distinctly. In all ages oratory has been regarded as the highest expression of human achievement. Young people, no matter what they Intend to be. whether blacksmith or farmer, merchant or physician, should make it a study. Nothing else will call out what is In a man more quickly and more effectively* than the constant effort to do his best in speaking before an audience. When one undertakes to think on one's feet aud speak extemporaneously before the public tbe power and tbe skill of tbe entire man are put to the severest test—Success Magazine.

At Sea on Land.

A clergyman who bad neglected all knowledge of nautical affairs was asked to deliver an address before an audience of sailors. He-was discoursing on the stormy passages of life. Thinking be could make his remarks more pertinent to nis hearers by metaphorically using sea expressions, he said: “Now. friends, you know that when you are at sea in a storm the thing you do la anchor.” ▲ half concealed snicker spread over the room, and the clergyman knew that he had made a mistake. After the services one of his listeners came to him nn*i said. “Mr. , have you ever been at sea r* The minister replied: “No. unless it was while I waa delivering that address.” -

Rivulets and the Rivers.

All are to be men of genlns fp their degree—rivulets or rivers. It does not matter, so that the souls be clear and pure, not dead walls, encompassing dead heape of things known and numbered. but running waters In the sweet wilderness of things unnumbered and unknown, conscious only of the living banka, on which they partly refresh and partly reflect the flowers, and so pass on.—Roskin’s “The Stones of Venice."

Amusing Her

"What do you do with all that fruit you’re carrying home?" inquired the proprietor of the cigar stand. “I see you with a. crate about every other day.". "I keep pigs," replied the regular customer. "I find it hard work sometimes to tempt their appetites, but they generally like a little fresh fruit. The raspberries that I tried them on yesterday seemed to please them, so I thought I’d take ’em some more. Raspberries are fattening, too, and give the pork a nice flavor. You take a hog that’s been fed on raspberries -- " "Oh, cut it out," said the cigarstand man. "But, honest, how large a family have you got?" "Myself and the madam," replied the regular customer. "She's preserving. When it comes to putting up fruit that’s where the lady shines." "She puts up the fruit and you put up the money," suggested the cigar stand man. "That’s the idea,” said the regular customer. "I furnish the fruit and the glass jars and the rubber bands and the sugar and pay the gas bills and she does all the rest. It’s division of labor. Fine business.” "I don’t believe it pays to put up fruit," said the cigar stand man. “We find it cheaper to buy what preserves we ned. Just about as good, too." "You must be crazy,” said the regular customer. "Cheaper! Say, aU these berries cost me is 10 cents a box, buying them down on the street. It doesn’t take me more than hour or so to go there and get ’em either and the walking’s good exercise. There’s a little outlay for jars, of course, but if you can manage to keep them they'll do to use again. The sugar’s a trifle. I can buy quite a sack of it for a five-dollar bill." "Well," said the cigar stand man, "if you flgure that up and your time and your wife's time, how do you stand then?" "My wife’s time really doesn’t count," said the regular "When she’s busy preserving, which is most of the summer and fall, she can always make a little time by just throwing a snack of some sort on the" table for dinner Instead of putting in an hour or so cooking a meal. Think of having all kinds of jams and jellies and preserves down cellar all the year around. No benzoate of soda and glucose dope, but the pure article made from the real fruit that you’ve selected yourself. Plums, cheries, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, grapes, peaches —all kinds. Any time that you want a pie there’s the filling right on hand —or it would be on hand if we kept it.” "Eat it up about as fast as you make it, eh?” "Give it away little faster than we make It,” corrected the regular customer. "That’s the great trouble. You see, my wife is of a liberal disposition, and she’s proud of the jellies she makes, so we don't get so much of a show at it ourselves. If you came to the house, for Instance, you’d get some raspberry preserves for supper. You’d naturally say that it was the best that you ever tasted when the lady told you that she’d make it herself. Then she gets all swelled up over It and Insists on your taking home a Jar to >our wife. If it’s a relation that comes she’ll get a half dosen jars out, just as like as not. If the milkman makes some remark about the jelly looking good enough to eat when he pokes his head in the kitchen he gets a jar as well. If anybody gets sick it’s a jar for them." "What do you do It for, then?" asked the cigar-stand man. ‘ "A woman has got to amuse herself some way,” said the regular customer. "Putting up preserves is about as harmless and cheap as any." —Chicago Dally News.

Aids a Diver to Lift.

The difficulty a diver experiences In lifting weights beneath the water Is partly overcome by a new Italian Invention, which has been formally adopted by that government. The mechanism Is a diving suit, the artificial arms of which are worked from the Inside by the wearer. The leverage thus obtained enables the diver to lift objects heavier than he could otherwise handle. In addition to this Improvement over the old method a high-power electric light that will penetrate the water ter some distance Is plaosd In the hel-

LAUGHTER AND TEARS.

A Comedy Sen, In Which Grief «ayt' ed « Leading Part “Stage fright is not one of the emoHons which get across the footlights.’’ writes Mbs Alice Crawford. “Audiences sre for the most part aa serenely unconscious of It as they ate of other individual sentiments in the actors having no relation to the incidents of the play. “I shall never forget an instance of this curiobe Insensibility of the crowd. Once when I was tonring one of the most charming and popular girls of the company died after only a few days* illness. She was one of those sweet, tranquil natures and had endeared herself po us aU. Her death la lodgings in the small provincial town had an element of real tragedy ia it. L :;:w. 2 -The news that she was dead reached the theater In the evening Just as two of the actors and 1 were about to go on for a scene of broad comedy. We went on the stage with tears in oar eyes, and 1 can still see the face of one of those comedians with the great tears glistening on the paint He was dreadfully affected. Try as he would, be could not control his voice, and the tears kept choking him as be rattled off bis lines. “The audience were convulsed every time bis voice broke, and it made me cry more than ever to see the grief shaking him as be grinned and chaffed through bis tears. Yet that comedy scene never went so well before. The audience never guessed.’’—Exchange.

STORY OF A MUD HEN.

And the Man Who Triad to Shoot or Drown the Bird. -It is a mighty hard thing to down a mud hen." said a Portland official. -Every one knows this homely bird, so clever that it can dodge the flash of a gun. making it very hard to kill if any one ever wanted to kill one. “A friend of mine who was a great hunter, but not acquainted with the mud hen, was out hunting on the Columbia sloughs some years ago when he saw what he thought was some kind of duck floating on the water. He aimed his shotgun and fired, but the bird dived as the gun was discharged. and the shot struck the water where the bird had been a moment before. As the smoke cleared away the hunter saw the bird come to the surface, and be gave it the other barrel, with the same result. “His obstinacy was now aroused, and he determined to kill that bird before he left the place. He shot away every round of ammunition be had, but the bird dodged every one aud still floated in the same spot. In great disgust my friend sat down on the bank and lit his pipe. At the first puff of smoke the bird dived again, and this gave him his Inspiration. “To make a short story, be smoked up all his tobacco to an effort to drown the mud hen. but wlum darkness fell and be started for home the bird was still floating in tbe same old spot.”— Portland Oregonian.

A Wedding Ring Superstition.

Although there was a lifelong friendship to hack up their business deals, tbe jeweler was not surprised when his old customer who bad married a second time bought the wedding ring at another shop -If he should take a third wife be would buy tbe ring at still another store.” the Jeweler said. “That is one of the superstitions of the trade. A man may have the marrying habit ever so bad and require several wedding rings in bis time, yet be never buys any two of them from tbe same place. Jewelers do iMif-expect It. They don’t want to sell two wedding rings to the same man. Bad luck would surely light on all concerned, and there ia enough trouble in the world anyhow without deliberately inviting more of it by defying a good old wedding ring superstltudon."—New fork Times.

Her Recommendation.

A woman prominent a«~a social worker was In the city to engage s new girl the other day. She visited an em ploy men t agency which makes a specialty of finding places for country housemaids and was much pleased with one from the country. “Why did you leave your last placer naked the woman. **l didn’t have no tawt place. 4 * answered the girt, “because 1 ain’t had no last place to leave, and l*m still working at It. being for myself that I’ve been working, and I’m sure I’m a good servant, and 1 can recommend myself to you. ma’am.”—Exchange.

Melodramatic.
