STr LQ nSu tMO_ Cooling Water In Nicaragua. 'They have," said a railroad man, "a primitive method of cooling water in Mexiceo and Central America. The principal Is perfectly simple, but there is a certain knack about the thing that I have never known a white man to fully acquire. "When a native in one of the broiling hot little villages of interior Nicaragua wants to cool some water, she fills a half gallon earthenware jar about two thirds iul!. Parenthetically I say 'she, because this is a task that requires more unergy than any male Nicara guan was ever known to possess. The jar is made of baked lay, and, not be ing glazed, is partially porous and soon beconmes moist on the outside. Two leather straps are firmly attached to the nick, and, seizing these in her hands, she begins to rotate the jar swiftly In the air. The mouth is wide open, but centrifugal action keeps the liquid from flying out. "The average native woman is frail and listless In appearance, but the en durance which they exhibit at this sort of calisthenics Is marvelous. It is about the same as swinging Indian clubs, and I am afraid to say how long I have seen them keep it up, lest you might set me down as a prize liar. Generally the lord and master lies In one corner of - their 'jacal,' or hut, smoking a cigarette and watching the operation languidly. When the wom an thinks the water Is sufficiently cool, she stops with a dexterous twist of the wrist and hands him the jar. "Usually he takes a gulp, growls out, 'Moocha calora!' which Is native pa tois for 'blamed hot,' and she begins again, patiently describing pinwheels. I have never made a test with a ther mometer, but I assure you they can re duce tepid water to the temperature of a very cool mountain spring."-New Orleans Times-Democrat. An Ocean Hotel. Some Idea of what a big hotel a transatlantic liner is may be gained from the following from Ainslie's Mag azine: "Everything about the kitchen of a great steamship is on a most elab orate scale. The range weighs many tons; the various soup caldrons are constructed to hold 20 gallons; loaves are baked by the hundred, joints roast ed by the dozen.. each in a separate and specially constrncted compartment. To serve the meals thousands of plates, pieces of silver, cups and saucers and napkins are required, and the average breakage in the galley of a big ship amounts to a barrel of china every day. "The amount of stores required for a single voyage by a great liner is com parable only to the commissariat of an army. Here are a few figures furnish ed by the chief steward of one of the big Gorman ships from the order sheet for a recent trip: Sixteen tons of fresh beef, five tons of lamb and veal, 3,500 head of chickens, ducks, geese and game, four tons of salted meats, 1,000 dozens eggs, three tons of sugar, 100 barrels of flour, 700 bushels of pota toes, 2% tons of butter, 2,000 quarts of milk and 500 gallons of ice cream. Of course this is not an exhaustive list, but it will serve to give an idea of the enormous appetite which the store rooms of the ocean liner must satisfy." "Fr'ieaeed Nightmare." God has given us a capacity to enjoy food. That is not the principal object in eating. One goes to a dinner and after eating all that- he really desires and more than is beneficial thinks he will add a little of the compounds they call dessert-the invention of the dev 1-and becomes uncomfortable and wretched. Most of the desserts we have might be called "fricasseed night mare" or "escaloped indigestion." Eat ing becomes idolatry if it becomes un fitting for higher servIce. It Is a crime to gorge and be uncomfortable or to induce a headache. I once attended a dinner at the invitation of a parish ioner and was asked to accompany a lady to the table. I did not need to eat, but I offered to help her to what ever she desired, and she asked for chicken salad, remarkIng, "It always gives me a wretched headache, but I am going to have some," and I replied, "Then you may help yourself, for I will not."-Address by Dr. Pierson. No Pri'vate Interview. - "Could I have a few minutes' private conversation with you?" he asked as he stood at the open door of a lawyer's office in the Loan and Trust building the other afternoon. "Can't you speak right out from where you arey' asked the lawyer in reply after looking the man over. "I'd rather make a private matter of it." "What is the nature of your busi ness?" "Confidential--strictly private and confidential, sir." "Well, I have no time to grant you a private interview. If you have any thing to say, you can let her go right here. Now, what is it?" "I-I wanted the loan of a quarter, sir," stammered the man. "Oh, you did: And you wanted a private interviewv to ask me that?" "Yes, sir. I knew that it would hurt both our feelings if I were refused in public-yours because you couldn't af ford to loan me the money and mine because I couldn't get It. Can you grant my request, sir?" "No, sir." "And does it hurt your feelings?" "Not a bit. You are mistaken on that point." "And my feelings are the only ones hurt y' "Yours alone." "Just so," said the man as he bowed and backed out. "I beg your pardon. I was mistaken. You have the money and no feelings, and I have the feelings and no money. Impassible chasm; no use in trying to bridge. Good day!" Washington Post. The Poodle and the Lion. "I notice that Automobile Mont gomery says that horses often make a die for the corn he paints," remarked one art league student to another. "Well, there might be some truth in It," said the second. "I saw a little in cident at the art Institute the other day that made mue think of Mr. Montgom ery's proud boast. You know those big lions on the sides of the steps, the work of Kemeys, are pretty lifelike. I was standing looking at them when a little white poodle came down the steps in the wake of a woman with stylish clothes on. The poodle had a gold col lar around his neck and was alto gether one of the tiniest, dandified specimens of a dog that you could find. He walked up to one of the lions, set tled back on his hind legs, and looked at the big stone beast. Then he sniffed and glanced around inquiringly. All at once he made up his mind. He made a fierce rush for the lion, barking as viciously and as loud as a dog six inches long could bark. He positively swelled up and appeared about to ex plode with wrath. "There you are. If Kenneys' lions so excited a poodle dog, It may be that horses wvill eat Montgomery's corn pic~ ture."-Cicao Iner Oean Friendship's Trials. "Am I going to the wedding? Cer tainly not," suapped the pretty girl In blue. "I'd like to see mnyself there! You thought we were friends? Oh, yes, we're friends. I'd like to scratch her eyes out, the deceitful thing' How did it start? How did what start? If her young man wished to call on me, there was no law against it, was there? If he got in the habit of call ing here every day in the week and twice on Sundays, It wasn't my busi ness to turn him over to the police, was it? I wish I had, though, as he was an awful bore and so persistent that I never got a chance to go any where or see any one. "And all the while that deceitful thing pretended to be crying her eyes out at the desertion of her young nian Into my camp. If I had not thought that that young man's presence here was making her awfully mad, he would have got his walking papers long ago. But I endured him because I thought that she cared everything for him and could not live without him. "And to think that she simply turned him over to me to get rid of him as well as me while she landed the eligi ble young man with the bank acoount who recently arrived in the city! And I never knew that he was here u n.til it was too late! And we were such dear friends too!"-Detroit Free Press. Sparing of Her Remedy. There is at least one woman in Ken wood who believes thoroughly in the efficiency of prayer. About a year ago her husband engaged in a business venture that looked rather uncertain. But his wife had strong faith that it would turn out well. "Go ahead, John," she said, "and let us put our trust in the Lord. I pray every night that we may have no rea son to regret the risk we are taking." The affair seemed to turn out pretty well right from the start. Handsome dividends were paid all through the summer and during the winter, and great joy was in the home of this man and the sharer of his fortunes. But there came a turn about a month ago. The business ceased to pay, and since then the losses have been increas ing every day. Nothing was said about it at the fireside around which so much happiness had centered during the last year until the other day, when It was suggested by the worried husband that It would be well to cut down expenses. Questions followed, as a matter of course, and then It had to be confessed that the business was not going well. "Dear me!" exclaimed the distressed woman when all the truth had been re vealed to her. "I must begin praying again tonight!" - Chicago Times-Her ald. A Famous London Tavern. The Mermaid was the name of a fa mos London tavern frequented by noted literary men and actors during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. All the wit and talent of the time assembled there for convivial enjoyment Au thors have made it the scene of great mind combats between such men as Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Beaumont, Fletcher, Selden, Carew, Donne and others of reverential memory. It was the gathering place of the celebrated Mermaid club, the origin of which is ascribed to Sir Walter Raleigh. The Mermaid tavern was located in Bread street and was handily reached from three thoroughfares, so that it has been often referred to in various ways. The Mermaid in Bread street, the Mermaid In Friday street and the Mermaid In Cheap street were, however, all one and the same. It was the nearest to Bread street. The Mermaid was de stroyed in the great London fire. There were other Mermaid taverns, one In Cheapside and another in Cornhill, but they had no such associations as clung to that of Bread street. .When Poor Writing Is Beat. A popular author whose handwriting was none of the best used to maintain that it was a matter of princIple with him not to write too well. He declared that for the use of printers, good hand writing was only a snare and a delu sion, tending to encourage carelessness and mistakes on their part. The com positors, he asserted, were compelled to devote their very best care and at tention to bad handwriting, with the result that, when it was deciphered, it was so fixed in their minds that it was impossible for them to set it up in correctly. He therefore declared that the worst handwriting was the best for the printers.-Truth. Pussled. A Bangor shipmaster wrote home to the vessel's owner telling of the condi tion of the freIght market where he was-out in the Windward islands. Business was dull, and the vessel had been in the same port for some time, and the captain wrote, "We are in statu quo." The owner for the next week was engaged in searching the at las of the West Indies trying to find out, as he put it, "where in thunder this 'ere statu quo is!" Bis Strategy. "I am going to sea," the young man ad and paused. The young girl gasped, "0 Harry-er -Mr. Timid!" She could not conceal the tears in her voice. Then he knew what he had feared to ask in so many words. "I am going to see," he repeated, "your father tonight, If you will give me permission." Then sho fell -upon his bosom.-Philadelphia Press. Growing Cold. Mrs. Bridey (sobbng)-I don't care what you say, Harry doesn't love me as much as he did. Her Mother-How ridiculous! Why, only this morning I heard him tell you you were the dearest girl on earth. Mrs. Bridey-That's just It. He used to call me "the dearest girl that ever lived."-Philadelphia Press. That Family Skeleton. Mrs. Whistler-Tell me, Mary, why it Is that you always cry so when papa sends you to bed in the dark when you ar naughty?

When well on the way. he stopped the blue (-oated official and asked in all seriousness: "I'm sorter hungry. Will ye just tell ne where the eatin car is'" "There is none on this train," was the answer. "Its short run .does not re quire it." "Huh!" grunted the questioner. "W'ich of yer keers is the one that ye jest loll around in an turn an twist yer cheer any way ye please? Don't Imagine that because I've never went railroadin afore I don't know all about these things." "You probably mean the Pullman. We haven't any attached." "Well, bu'stin squashes, w'ere's yer cigar stand, so's I kin be buyin a weed an lightin up?" "We don't have such a thing, man." "An ye've no place fer me ter git my shoes shined, ter be sure?" "No, sir." "Course I'd be crazy ter think ye might have a barber lad aboard?" "We haven't any." The rural gentleman subjected the conductor to a menacing scrutiny from head to foot and back again; then he drawled out in an angry, disappointed tone of voice: "Well, sufferin cornmeal: I thought ye said this wuz an accommodation train!"-Philadelphia Inquirer. The Rush of a shell. As a shell rushes through the air at the rate of 1,000 miles ani hour it gets heavily charged with electricity by friction, says London Answers. It parts with It to any good conductor it meets on the way, doing terrible execution. Passing in front of a British soldier, a big shell gave him such a shock that he instantly fell dead. In one of our wars two officers, stand ing side-by side, saw a shell coming. They stood apart, and it passed be' tween them without touching either. But one officer lost the sight of both eyes, and the other instantly became blind in one and soon lost the other also. In another battle a soldier had just stooped to help a fallen comrade when a shell passed over his back. Hie fell forward quite disabled, and for mronths after he could not stand erect. A curious accident of a similar kind happened to an American officer in the Cuban war. He was galloping across the field when a shell whirled past in front of hirt. His horse rolled over, and he himself became unconscious. On recovery he found that neither self nor steed had been wounded, and he knew that they had simply sustained a severe electric shock. "Her Touch." A sailor who met with a serious acci dent was carried to the London hospi tal. The poor mother hurried to the building to see her son. She was met by a kind but firm refusal from the house physician, but nothing daunted she pilde for admission to the poor fellow's bedside. Who could resist a mother's entreaties? The safety of the patient lay in his being kept absolutely quiet, but the physician consented to her admission on condition that she did not speak a word. She stole softly to his bedside and gazed as only a mother can at her unconscious boy. She dare not speak, but a mother's love was not to be denied all expression, and gently laying her hand on his fevered brow she let it rest there a moment and then noiselessly crept from the room. The watchful nurse heard the coma tose sleeper murmur the words, "Her touch," and, rousing himself, he added, "Surely my mother has been here. I know her touch!" Ah, there was an electric thrill of sympathy in that touch which told Its own tale to the dying man'-Weekly Bouquet. ________ A Match Trick. A feat which any one can perform with little or no practice is that of placing 14 matches upon a table and lifting them all up upon one of the matches. This is how it is done: Pick out one match-the one that has the flattest surface-and then place six of the other matches about one-fourth each across the first one, each of the six being parallel to each other and the thickness of a match distant from each other. Next place six other matches one-fourth each across the first match, but from the other side, all parallel and In the spaces left by the arrangement of the first six matches. Now take thc fourteenth match, lay It over the 12 matches wihere they intersect, and by carefully lifting match No. 1 and hold' ing match No. 14 in place you will ac complish without difficulty the feat. Adelaide Herrmann In Woman's H.ome Companion. The Jefferson Bible. "The Jefferson Bible in the Smith sonian institution," says the Washing ton correspondent of the Chicago Rec ord, "has never been printed. The manuscript remains as it left Jeffer son's hands, and, although several per sons have proposed from time to time to print it, no one has ever done so. The Bible consists only of the teach' ings of Christ, extracts from the gos' pi arranged in chronological order from his birth to his ascension, and nothing else.
