tumorous ^Department. | c Sizing Up th? Judge.?A Judge once had a case in which the accused man understood only Irish. An interpreter E was accordingly sworn. The prisoner said something to the interpreter. y "What does he say?" demanded his s< lordship. t< "Nothing, my lord," was the reply. tl "How dare you say that when we all y heard him? Come on. sir, what was a it?" P "My lord." said the interpreter, be- tl ginning to tremble, "it had nothing to E do with the case." "If you don't answer I'll commit you. tl sir!" roared the Judge. "Now. what did he say?" e "Well, my lord, you'll excuse me, but d he said: "Who's that old woman with I the red bed curtain round her, sitting h up there!" e At which the court roared. "And what did you say?" asked the \ Judge, looking a little uncomfortable, d "I said: 'Whist, ye spalpeen! That's o the ould boy that's going to hang v you!'" ? Pittsburgh Chronicle-Tele- a graph. h s ' ' t Hard to Catch Up.?Two Silesians u seated in a music hall began to argue b about the music of Wagner. The argument as it progressed grew heated. The upshot was that the younger challenged the other Silesian to a duel. But the older Silesiar declined to I fight. "No, no," he said. "I refuse to meet c you. The risks are not equal. You v you see, are a bachelor, whereas I am 11 a married man with three children. 1: I'll tell you what to do. Go get mar- t ried and wait till you've a family as o large as mine. Then when our risks s are alike come and challenge me again." t The younger man complied. He mar- fc ried. Three years passed, and one day r "three years later he went accompanied by a nursemaid, to his opponent's home. I "Here I am," he said fiercely. "My wife is at home. In this coach are my three children. Now for the duel." , But the older man shook his head. "Not yet a while," he said. "I have five now." t . t Had His Nerve.?This story is being 1 told of a well known London doc- \ tor. A friend came to consult him r professionally and after the consul- 1 tation was finished, the doctor wrote i out a prescription, says the Houston ' Post. I "You had bbetter have this made up at the chemist's." he said. "It will r probably cost you half a crown." 1 "Half a crown!" the patient ex- i claimed. "All right. I'll get it made t up." Then, as he turned to go, he i added: "I say, could you lend me half a crown to pay it with." The doctor gasped. He recovered I in a second, however, and asked for the prescription. The patient handed It back, and after the doctor had . scratched out one item in it he re- 1 turned it again, together with sixpence. "vmi oan erat what Is left made ud for a sixpence." he remarked drily. .l "What I scratched out was for your . nerves." All Right.?A story which D. Boyd ^ Carpenter has been heard to recount, j, concerns an occasion when he was to ^ perform the ceremony at a very smart e wedding in a London church. As usu- a al. a great crowd of people stood about the doors and lined up either side of g the strip of red carpet. Magnificent carriages and motorcars rolled up and disgorged the splendidly dressed guests but at the end of a long string of equip- i ages came a deplorable ramshackle old four wheeler. It drew up gloomily op- v posite the strip of red carpet. a A couple of policemen dashed at the s cabby. e "Here, hi!" they shouted. "You can't r stop here! The bishop's just coming!" The old cabman regarded them with ^ a scornful eye. b "Keep yer 'air on. I've got the old b duffer inside!" \ And Dr. Carpenter opened the door p and stepped out.?Standard. v ? 1 s Took Good Care of It.?A physician n tells a story of a philanthropic doctor in a Philadelphia coal mining town who presented each household with a nice new thermometer and told the people the necessity of maintain- ? ing proper temperature. When mak ? t- - -1 ? J Uia I mg nis rounas one aay ne uoserveu mo ^ thermometer hanging in the room. He a inquired of the woman of the house if \ she had remembered his instructions. a "Indeed, sir. I do." was the response, f "I hang the thing right up there, and I 0 watch it carefully to see it does not a get too high." "Good!" exclaimed the doctor. "And what do you do when the temperature p rises above 70 degrees?" "Why, sir," answered the woman with the air of one faithful to a trust, "when it gets too high I take it down E and put it outside until it cools off."? Newark Star. , m , h V Real Kind of Her,?"I remember j( hearing" says Lady Dorothy Nevill in 0 her reminiscences, "of a very good natured lady who was always helping b a relative of hers who was every ex- y travagant. Having one summer lent q this feather brained creature a consid- w erable sum of money, what was her q surprise at the end of the season to be a applied to again, in order that what ^ were described as some pressing debts might be settled. t. "'I am very sorry,' said the kind- v hearted lady, 'but I can't possibly help you again just now. In order to lend you that money some time ago I was p forced to go without a motor this season.' "'Dear me!' was the reply. 'If I had p only known that I should have been delighted to lend you mine!'" T tl Shut Her Up.?In every large hotel a the cnamoermaias are always reaay and willing to perform a personal service for the sake of the customary tip B that accompanies it. Remembering this, the woman tourist who was stopping at a famous hotel in Cario rang E at last for assistance after vainly struggling for fifteen minutes with the n interlaces of the rear fastenings of her r" gown. To her dismay, one of the Arab porters responded to her ring. "Madame requires something?" His voice was soft and sweetly modulated. ** "Yes. Please send up one of the maids to hook my dress." h "Ah, If that is all." He bowed and waved a depreciating hand. "Madame a desires to be shut up? I can shut her up." And he did. P Jumping in Ireland.?Two Irishmen were watching the events at a field ^ meet. When one of the athletes Jumped 21 feet in the broad jump, Pat re- a marked to Mike: c "Mike, that was a. pretty good b jump." "Yes," said Mike, "it was, but nothing like what we had hack in the Ould a Sod." o "Sure," says Pat. "and they never T had anything to equal that jump." o "Yes," says Mike, "and they did. tl One day I saw a man jump 23 feet a backwards?up a hill?agin* a strong C wind."?Cleveland Plain Dealer. w tl Power of the Ad.?At an advertising Jr - v,T\?n- ti " iiitrii a uauquci an jyvu?ci? iyi, xx. i* vvu 1. Avery, the author of many advertising monographs, ended an informative address with an amusing story. "The power of the 'ad,'" he said, "is truly miraculous. I know a young actress who mislaid a string of pearls. XI She inserted a 'lost and found' adver- . tisement, and the next day I asked her: ' " 'Well, did you get your pearls ~ back?' P " 'Yes,' she answered?'and isn't advertising wonderful? The string I lost were only scientific, but those that have } been returned to me are the real , thing.'"

J< ws and Courier. 3 Columbia. January 13:?Special: vernor Blease having refused to irove the sureties on the bond of 1,000. which Mr. T. S. Carter had P ured preliminary to taking charge state treasurer, the law requiring it the governor must approve the 81 id, he was asked this morning why refused to approve the sureties of " . Carter's bond, and issued the fol- *1 ring statement in explanation: d 'I have been reliably informed that ( Gulf and Atlantic Insurance com- P ny is on the bonds of a very large d mber of the county officials of this h te, and I have declined to approve b >se bonds brought to me, signed by t< it company, and I shall not appoint 8 y man to office, as treasurer, or au- P or, or other appointive position, h o has to be bonded, who furnishes ti ids in this company, for the rea- 8 .

But e is mereiy a question as to what I o lieve is tor the best interest of t 2 people of my state. e "As to the bond of Treasure Car- r : 1 have nothing to do with Mr. h rter's ideas or movements; he pre- a ited a bond signed by Gen. Wilie t nes, J. Pope Matthews, Prancis H. s eston and others prominently con- s cted with the Palmetto National r nk. I do not think it is right for e state treasurer to be placed in the nds of or under the direct control t one bank by its president, cashier, c :orney and other officials being his t ndsmen. Mr. Carter may view it v ferently. Besides, these gentle- I in, to a very large extent, have all c ey have got wrapped up in this p e concern, and in case of failure r this bank, all would go together, 1 d the probabilities are that Carter i >uld be here without a bond. t "It is not a political matter, as Mr. a iter told several of my friends roughout the state last summer t at he was my friend, and, hereto- I re, I have no reason to do him an a mstice or injury; but the duty de- r Ives upon me to approve a (HO,000 1 nd, and when I do approve it 1 o opose to see that the bond is good, 1 tar as the securities go, to stand be- \ een the Siate treasurer and the peo- a ? of the state of South Carolina. 1 lis is all there is to it No buga- y o to be made out of it and no re- t ction cast upon any of those who t opose to become securities for this nd. a "If you will notice, Governor Wil- d 0 is receiving much praise for be- r 1 against a banker holding the of- \ e of state treasurer of New Jersey, a he is to be given praise for that, e en why should a man whose bond a to be given by one bank be treas- b er _of South Carolina? What is the ference of one being a banker him- v f, and the other being absolutely r the hands of a bank? I cannot see b y. d "I do business with the Palmetto s .tional bank; got a small amount t money in it, and some of these t ntlemen there, particularly the o esident, are my close per?nal d d political friends, but when it r mes to my duty in approving the v ,ie treasurer's bond, I know only ' responsibility." b h General Jones Urges Approval. v Columbia, January 13.?Special: n e governor this afternoon addressa letter to S.

W. F. Caldwell. LAST OF BIG TIM SULLIVAN E j\urr\ Doors to Close on Him Forever?The Bowery in Mourning. There was many a sad heart among ! Irish, the Jews, the Italians, the n lericans, the Bohemians, the Slavs, Polacks, the Germans, the Hun ians and all creeds and races in " Thirteenth congress district last ht when they learned that Timothy f( Sullivan, their representative in igress, "Big Tim," who also had presented the Bowery district in the iate and assembly at Albany for ny years, would be with them no g re forever. tl The same feeling of sorrow pre- e] led in the Democratic national d b and in Tammany's ranks from a; irles F. Murphy, its chieftain, down ^ the humblest follower when it be ne known that upon application (~r terday in Part II, special term ol k supreme court, made on the petit- ni i of relatives, a step-brother and p-sister, Justice Amend signed an er committing Representative Sultn to Dr. G. F. M. Bond's saniium at 960 North Broadway, Yon- c< s. Hitherto Representative Sul- ? in has been a voluntary patient at ^ Bond's establishment. The dise from which he is suffering, howr, has taken such strides within the . : few weeks that it became necesy for his step-brother and step- ? er to make a permanent arrangent for his physical restraint in the itarium. Under the arrangement which Representative Sullivan ? received at Dr. Bond's sanitarium, could at any moment leave the iblishment without let or hindce. Vhile Representative Sullivan has n a docile and resigned patient, has become a victim of marked lucinations, which indicated that ihe near future it would be necesy to put him under restraint. The p-brother and step-sister, after sultation with a number of Repentative Sullivan's friends, were ised to take the step they did terday in making their application Justice Amend, and the justice led the order. Vithin a few days, yesterday's orwill be supplemented by an order regular application, appointing a imittee of the person and property Representative Sullivan as an al?d incompetent. This will be essaiy, it was stated last night, the protection of Representative livan's vast business enterprises. Ich are said to have suffered since voluntary confinement to Dr. id's sanitarium.

P r CREEPER STEALS A BOTTLE Ii a lant Trick Astonishes the Sleepy s< Gardner. . o A highly original plot for a detective w tory was suggested by the Rev. Pro- a jssor G. Henslow, who lectured on the w Senses of Plants" before members of h le Royal Horticultural society yester- i< ay, says the London Standard. ii "A distinguished gardener," said the g rofessor, "was dozing in a chair in his tl rawing room one sultry summer af- ii irnoon, and a bottle stood on the table d y nis siae. ouaaeniy me ooiue uegan d move stealthily across the table. The h leeper woke up; the bottle had dlsap- c eared. In astonishment, which might t ave been agitated had the bottle con- n ained anything but a bunch of bios- v oms, he set out to Investigate. b "In the midst of his meditations the t hief fortunately gave audible warning f his proximity. Glancing out of his f .'indow the hortlculturalist saw an as- s onishing sight. The tinkle he had , eard was a Virginia creeper rattling he bottle against the window pane." The lecturer pointed out that little a arlor tricks of this sort were quite a a avorable pastime with the creeper. The adhesive pads on its tendrils are V,,, nn..fV.U?

"The fashionable sweet pea if touch- 11 d on one of its tendrils with a stick f ir rubbed gently for half an hour will li tegin to twist round the stick. If teas- I d further it will grapple with its tor- t nentor. Besides the twisting motion it s las another which has been described fi .s 'bowing around,' or circum-muta- o ion. This is an endeavor to fasten on t omethlng. It was undoubtedly its a uccess in "bowing around" or circum- v nutation, my dear Watson, that enabl- v d the creeper to carry off the bottle. "Though we have yet to find plants h hat can hear or smell, many of our c ommon growths are sensitive to touch, e aste, sight and thirst. Chlorophyll, t vhich is the green coloring matter of ^ eaves, not only stores up the energy t if the sun in plants, but enables the s >lant to select the light ray that is r nost beneficial to it.

TOOTHACHE AN ANCIENT ILL labylonian Ascribed Pain to the Wig* ? gling of a Worm. * We recently reported a translation f a love letter 4000 years old made rom Babylonian cuneiform hieroglyhics by Dr. F. C. Elslen, of Chicago. >r. Eiselen has also translated a very iteresting dissertation on the ^ause nd cure of toothache from the same ource, says the Pathfinder. The people f those days could not understand t rhy a tooth should ache, and so they I ttributed the ache to a worm, whose .'Iggllng caused the pain. This "worm" 3 no doubt what the modern dentist Jentlfles as the nerve of the tooth, for i fact the extracted worm does sugest a worm. How the worm got into he tooth is referred to in the following nscriptlon, though the modus operani is not made exactly plain: "Anu had created the heavens, the eavens created the earth, the earth reated the rivers, the rivers created he canals, the canals created the narshes. the marshes created the irorm. Then came the worm to weep iefore Shash. Before Ena came her ears. " 'What wilt thou give me for my ood, what wilt thou give me to de- ~ troy?* and the answer Is, 'I will give hee dried bones and scented wood.' " 'What are these dry bones to me nd scented wood? Let me drink mong the teeth and set me on the rum that I may devour the blood of he teeth and of their gums destroy the trength. Then shall I bolt of the door.' Among Doctor Elselen's other transatlons Is a letter of 3.500 years ago re rom a young man who had evidently B eft home and taken a job on the canal. 8' le begins his letter thus: "I am sta- el loned in Dur-Sin, on the Canal Bitm- G Ikrim." Every letter In those days, we L*1 ind, followed the graceful custom of al ipenlng and closing, with a blessing on el he recipient. "May the gods Shamash I ind Marduk keep thee alive forever," vas the wish of this young man when ar vriting home to his old folks. J* Somewhat like the youth of this day, 'n le found when he went out into the c* old world that the cooking was not jl qual to his mother's. "Where I live here is no food that I am able to eat," i le complains, so ne auas: nere is he third part of a shekel which I have ? lealed up and forwarded to thee. Send p ne for this money fresh fish and other ood." ). An interesting phase of the ancients* istronomical observations shows that ve today are reckoning time after their ild system. A report written probably or some observatory, about the year i25 B. C., says: "On the sixth day of s'isan (about March 21,) day and night vere equal. Six double hours the day, lix-double hours the night. May Nabu tnd Marduk unto the king our lord be rracious." The Babylonians had some proverbs is apt today as they were in that dim ige, when writing was more laborious. Some of their proverbs are translated rom the cuneiform as follows: "With lisease that cannot be cured and hunger that cannot be stilled, a coffer of lilver and a trunk full of gold are not ible to restore Health or still appetite." "A drunken man has the strength of . worm." 5 "The life of yesterday, it is every lay the same i. e., nothing new under he sun." i ?
