C hno DIS UADED FROM SUCIDE The Convincing Argument a Parson Used With Telling Effect. "An Arkansas country store keeper of my acquaintance had a bad attack of melancholy about a year ago," said a New Orleans drummer, "and attempted to commit suicide. le put a pistol to his head and pulled the trigger, but the cartridge failed to explode, and be fore he < 'uld try it again the weapon was takea away. However, he swore he would do the deed the first chance he got, and he was no doubt really of that intention when he was talked out of it by a little itinerant preacher who was a reformed gambler. The argu ment used by the parson was so pecul iar and ingenious that it made a deep impression on my mind. 'You knew you would be a dead man,' he said as nearly as I can remember. 'if it wasn't for the fact that there was a defective cartridge under the hammer of your re volver. Now, a defective cartridge is a very unusual thing.' he went on. 'They calculate at the manufactory that there is possibly one to the quar ter million turned out. The chance of that bad cartridge being in the boxful that you bought for your gun was not over one to another quarter million, the chance of your getting hold of it when you loaded was exactly 1 to 50, and the chance of it being under the hammer was 1 to 5. That makes the total odds 1 to 500,055.' "At that point the little preacher sud denly straightened up, his eyes flashed fire, his chest expanded, and he shook his forefinger under the storekeeper's nose. 'You miserable sinner,' he roar ed, 'do you imagine for a m nute that the Lord would have given you that kind of odds and let you win out on the play if he hadn't got some good and special use for your life? Don't let me ever hear of you trying to block him againi' "The would be suicide thought the thing over and concluded that the par son was right. His melancholy prompt ly disappeared, and the last time I saw him he was bubbling over with cheer fulness. le believes firmly he is a man of destiny."-Ncw Orleans Times Democrat. ALL HONOR TO PARSLEY. Curion' Folklore and History Con cerning This Common Herb. Some quaint ideas have hovered around that familiar garden herb and dish adorner, parsley. In England, Devonshire folk declare that parsley must never be transplanted or great evil will follow. Suffolk people say it will not come up double unless sown on Good Friday-a notion that experi ments might surely soon have disprov ed-while ancient dwellers in Hamp shire steadfastly refuse to give any parsley away. Ask them for roses, lilies, fruit or rare vegetables, and basket fuls will be gladly bestowed on you, but request a few sprigs of parsley and you will be told, with a solemn shaking of heads, "No, we never pick parsley for any one, unless it's paid for!" The great historian Plutarch relates an interesting anecdote on the subject of this herb. Timoleon was leading an army against the Carthaginians. "But as he was ascending a hill from the top of which the enemy's camp and all their vast forces would be in sight, he met some mules laden with parsley, and his men took it into theIr heads that It was a bad omen because we usually crown the sepulcher with pars ley, and thence comes the proverb with regard to one that is dangerously ill, 'Such a one has need of nothing ibut parsley.' To deliver them from this superstition and to remove the panic Timoleon ordered the troops to halt, and making a speech suitable to the occasion, observed among other things that crowns were brought them before the victory and offered themselves of their own accord. For the Oorinthians from all antiquity have looked upon a wreath of parsley as sacred, crowning the victors with it at the isthmian games." The general then crowned himself and all his officers with pars ley wreaths, and led his men to bat tle, their fears conquered, the result being a decisive victory. - Chicago Times-Herald. Measuring Medicines, A teaspoonful is just one dram; a dessertspoonful, two drains; a table spoonful, four drams. In mixing or administering drugs of any sort quantities should be carefully measured in a medicine glass, for then one may be quite sure of the amount given, which is quite impossible to be if one uses spoons, for these vary in size accordin~g to fashion. When measuring medicine, it is best to stand the glass on the table, for it one holds it in the hand one may easily hold it crookedly, and thus inadvert ently pour out a larger or smaller amount than is prescribed by the doc tor In some cases errors of this kind might be mischievous in effect. A Remarkable Railroa. One of the most remarkable railroads : the United States Is that which runs from Fabyan, at the foot of Mount Washington, to the summit-a distance of 3.38 miles. The time required in making the ascent Is one and one-half hours, which is at the rate of a mile In 27 minutes. The descent is made in the same time. The fare Is $4 for the round trip, or at the rate of 00 cents a mle. No other road in the world charges quite so much and few run trains at a speed quite so slow. About 5000 passengers are carried annually. Little Lucy's Prayer. One evening little Lucy knelt to lisp her evening prayer. Iler little heart was bursting with self satisfaction she had been so exemplary all through the day. "0 Lord," she said. "make me very good, even better than I am.". Many an older person thinks this prayer if he does not dare to put it into words.-Oswego Times. IN SUR A NCE FIRE. LIFE. ACCIDENT & BURL LARtY INSURANCE. TailOr-Made Clothing. FIT GUtARANTEED.

The small rubber rings that are used in every household with which to seal preserve jars may be made the means of much amusement when a lively game is desired for the amusement of friends. First obtain a smooth head of a flour or sugar barrel and see that the pieces are all fastened together, form ing a circular board, or any smooth board about a square foot in size will serve the purpose. Procure ten coat hooks of medium size and secure them into the board and mark above each hook its number, ranging from No. 1 to No. 10. A hole may be made in the upper end of the board or a screw eye inserted by which to hang it upon a nail in the wall. No. 10 is a sort of a "bullseye," and each player, having three of the rubber rings, takes turns in throwing them from a position about ten feet away, endeavoring to "hook" as many on the board as possible. A score is kept of the points gained by each player, the one first getting 100 points being the winner. However, exactly 100 points must be made. For instance, if a piay er has 99 he has to work for "hook No. 1," as any other hook would carry him over the mark. This difficulty adds to the interest of the game. An advantage of the game is that no noise is made nor damage done by the rings, and it may be improvised by any boy or girl.-New York Sun. A Misunderstanding. Mr. G. W. Steevens in his book, "In India," says that the first sight of that country is amazing and stupefying, be cause everything is so noticeable that you notice nothing. The common crows are blue, the oxen have humps. It is a new life in a new world. In describing the native life he gives this story of their indifference to punishment: A simple ryot the other day had said goodby to his relatives and was pinion ed, when suddenly he asked to speak again to his brother. "Recollect," he said, "It's 20 kawa surs of barley that man owes me, not dawa surs," which are smaller. Then he turned and was hanged without moving a muscle. Another man, a Pathan, was being hanged, when the rope broke. The warder bade him go up on to the scaf fold again; but he objected. "No," he said; "I was sentenced to be hanged, and banged I've been!" "Not so, friend," argued the warder. "You were sentenced to be hanged un til you were dead, and you're not dead!" It was a new view to the Pathan, and he turned to the superintendent, "Is that right, sahib?" "Yes; that's right" "Very well. I didn't understand." And he went composedly up the steps and was hanged again. Worshiping a Turtle. At a place called Kotron, on the French Ivory Coast, the natives be lieve that to eat or destroy a turtle would mean death to the guilty one or sickness among the family. The fetich men, of which there are plenty. declare that years ago a man went to sea fish ing. In the night his canoe was thrown upon the beach empty. Three days afterward a turtle came ashore at the same place with the man on its back alive and well. Since that time they have never eaten or destroyed one of that species, although they enjoy other species. If onA. happens now to be washed ashore, there is a great commotion in the town. Firstly, the women sit down and start singing and beating sticks; next a small piece of white cloth (color must be white) is placed on the turtle's back. Food is then prepared and plac ed on the cloth, generally plantains, rice and palm o1I. Then, amid a lot more singing, dancing and antics of the fetich people, it is carried back in to the sea and goes on its way rejoic ing. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Imprisoned by a Ostrich. A guardsman in the reserve of offi cers who is better known for his swag ger than his brains had an.unfortunate experience in South Africa. He was stationed about 100 miles from Cape Town at a remount depot One morning a farmer stopped him as he was taking a constitutional and warned him against crossing an inclos ur containing a cock ostrich which had become bad tempered. The guards man said that no ostrich ever hatched would turn him out of his way and went on unmoved. As he had not returned home four hours afterward his brother officers were alarmed and sent out search par ties. What was their surprise to dis cover him lying on his back unhurt, with a cock ostrich sitting on his chest. The bird had knocked him down each time he had tried to rise, but could not hurt him while he lay flat on his back. Yet leave his enemy he declined to do and therefore sat quietly upon him un til driven off by the rescue party.-Lon don Express. Adjourned In Due Form. "Mr. Nevergo," the young woman said, suppressing a yawn, "when the business of a meeting is ended what is the parliamentary form for bringing the proceedings to a close?" "Somebody moves that the meeting adjourn." replied the young man, "and then" "Well, if you'll move," she Inter rupted, "we'll adjourn." Her Opinion. "You see," said the heiress confiden tially, "my father likes the count very much. But he is afraid the dear boy is inclined to be careless about money matters. What do you think about it?" "The fact that he has proposed to you" said Miss Cayenne thoughtfully, "might possibly be taken as very good evidence to the contrary."-Washing ton Star. ood Clothing Store Is where you get the right sort of Clothes without dan ger of mistake.

Boarding Ionse Steaks That Grew Tender Under a Four Ton. Hammer. "Speaking of luck." said a reminis cent man, "reminds me of how fortune came to a boarding house keeper in a mill town where I once lived. There came to the house when he first struck the town a new millhand. This board er seemed at first just like any other young man with a good appetite, out of whom the profit to be made was likely to be small, but it was speedily discovered that he was a man of abil ity and promise, who was likely to get on at the mill. He made great prog ress at the works. It wasn't long be fore he was at the head of the section of the forge departhient there, the boss. in fact, of the four ton hammers. "As far as he was concerned the only thing that marred his happiness was the toughness of the steaks they had at the boarding house, and that they were tough nobody could deny. But he was equal to the occasion there as he had proved himself to be at the mill. "'Madam,' he said one day to the landlady, 'if you will let me take the steaks you buy before you cook them I will make them just as tender as can be without any cost to you whatso ever.' "Now, he had paid his board regular ly, and he was at that moment virtual ly the star boarder. The landlady handed him the next morning without hesitation the bundle of steaks just as it came from the butcher, and the ham mer boss just took 'cm over to the mill, this being before the regular starting time in the morning, and, adjusting one of the four ton hammers to about the right gauge, started it up and ran the steaks a couple of times tinder the hammer. "Good? Why, they were just simply beautiful, and every morning after that the genial hammer boss used to run across to the mill before breakfast and quietly, without the knowledge of any one, run the landlady's steaks back and forth once under the four ton ham mer. The fame of the landlady's te' der steaks grew rapidly, as did also, naturally, the number of her boarders. And so she accumulated wealth."-Nc:w York Sun. HOW TURKS EAT. They CUe No Tables, Chairs, Knives. Forks or Plates. The Turks use no tables in their homes, and chairs are unknown, says London Answers. Instead there is a huge wooden frame built in the middle of the room, about 18 inches high. and when the family assembles to dine cushions are brought, placed upon the frame, and on these the members seat themselves, tailor fashion, forming a circle around a large tray which occu pies the center. The tray is a very large wooden, plated or silver affair, according to the social and financial condition of the family, and thereon is deposited a ca pacious bowl. About it are ranged saucers of sliced cheese, anchovies, ca viare and sweetmeats of all sorts. In terspersed with these are goblets of sherbet, pieces of hot unleavened bread and a number of boxwood spoons, with which to drink the soup. Knives, forks and plates do not fig ure in the service, but each one has a napkin spread upon his knees, and ev ery one, armed with a spoon, helps himself. When this is consumed, the bowl is borne away, and another great dish takes its place. This time it is a con glomeration of substantials, all stewed up together, such as mutton, game or poultry. The mess has been divided by the cook into small portions, which are dipped up wvith the aid of a spoon or with the fingers. For the host to fish out of the mess a wing or leg of a fowl and present it to a guest is considered a great compli ment, and for a Turk of high degree to roll a morsel between his fingers and then put it into the mouth of a visitor is looked upon as the height of favor and good manners. A Dye Wanted. Our consul in Birminghamn says that several years ago one of the Barbers, of threadmuaking fame, told him that the discoverer of a fast black dye for linen thread could command his own price. Examine the thread holding the buttons in men's clothing, and you will see that after a short time the black disappears, and even new linen thread has not sufficient depth of color. It is impossible to find in the English shops men's black cotton socks with tops at all elastic. The fast black dye for cot ton was the discovery of an English chemist. English hose manufacturers would not at first buy his secret, but the Germans did and built up a trade all over the world.-New York Times. Mutual Recognition. "Bless my soul!" explained the man with the iron gray beard. cordially ex tending his hand. "Aint you the tow lieaded boy that used to worry the life out of me 25 years ago, back in old Chemung county, by climbing my or chard fence and stealing my apples?" "If you're the infernally mean and stingy old hunks who owned that or chard and used to set your dog on any boy who camne within half a mile of it, I am," replied the younger man, grasp ing the proffered hand and shaking it heartily.-Chicago Tribune. To Be Concise. "Young man," said the editor to the budding journalist who brought him a column story which could have been told better in ten lines, "whep a man discovers his house is ablgze he doesn't go to the window and tell the passers by that 'half an hour ago what threat ened to be a terrible confiagration broke out in the upper story of the pa latial mansion occupied by Mr. Jere miah Dickens.'

"Coming down from the clouds in a parachute is like a dream," said a cir cus balloon artist. "Ever dream of falling from a high place? You come down, alight quietly and awake, and you're not hurt. Well, that's the para chute drop over again. No: there Is no danger. A parachute can be guided readily on the down trip, but you can't steer a balloon. To guide a parachute out of harm's way a practc..d hand can tilt it one way or the other, spill out air and thus work it to where you want to land or to avoid water, trees, chimneys or church spires. "Circus ascensions are generally made in the evening. When the sun goes down, the wind goes down. The balloon then shoots Into the air, and the parachute drops back on the circus lot or not far away. "A balloon is made of 4 cent muslin and weighs about 500 pounds. A para chute is made of 8 cent muslin. The rope that secures the parachute is cut with a knife. The aeronaut drops fully 100 feet before the parachute be gins to fill. It must fill if you're up high enough. Invariably the fall is head first. When the parachute be gins to fill, the descent is. less rapid, and finally when the parachute has finally filled it bulges out with a pop. Then the aeronaut climbs on to his tra peze and guides the parachute to a safe landing. In seven cases out of ten you can land back on the lot where you started from."-New York News. Wanted a Job as Boss. A boy of about 14, with well worn clothes and a face in which timidity and determination struggled for the mastery, entered the office of a ship ping house on Front street one day last week, approached the desk of him whose appearance spoke the control of the establishment and, catching his eye, said: "Do you want a boss, mister?" "Whatl" exclaimed the proprietor. surprised out of his self control. "I want to know I'f you want a boss, sir." "I don't understand you. What do you mean?" "Well, sir, I've been looking for something to do for three weeks now, and nobody wants a boy, so today I thought I'd see if somebody didn't want a boss. I'd like to be a boss." "Well, well! That's not bad. Are you willing to work up to the job? It took me 25 years to get It" "'Deed I am, sir, if you'll give me the chance." Today an earnest boy in jumper and overalls is struggling with bundles and packing cases in the shipping room of the concern. He intends to be boss of the establishment before his side whiskers, which have not yet sprout ed, are as gray as those of the present incumbent And the chances, with his energy and will, are In his favor.-New York Times. Four Good Smokes Cheap. "Gimme three nickel cigars," said the man with the red necktie at the restaurant counter. He was quickly supplied. "Now gimme a good Havana or Key West cigar, about a 15 center." He carefully lighted the Havana ci gar and tucked the nickel cigars in his upper vest pecket "You smoke a Havana yourself and keep the nickel cigars for your friends, I sup.pose?" said the dealer, with a sickly smile. "No," said the man with the red necktie; "I've got a better scheme than that I always smoke a 15 cent Ha vana or Key West cigar after dinner. Then I smoke the nickel cigars after ward. The nick's cigars taste exactly like the Havana cigar, and thus I get the benefit of four choice cigars that ordinarily would cost me 60 cents for 80 cents. "Try it yourself," said the man with the red necktie as he walked out.-Chi cago Tribune. The Picture and the Frame. A well known artist used to tell a good story concerning his first acade my picture. He was favored by many visitors to see It, his frame maker among the number. This good fellow took his stand before the work and seemed buried in profound admiration. "Well," said the painter, "what do you think of it, John?' "Think of it, sir? Why, it's perfect You won't see one better, I know. Mr. -- has got one just like it" "What!" said the amazed artist "A picture just like that?" "Oh," replied the frame maker, "1 wasn't talking about pictures. I was speaking of the frame. You may be lieve me, sir, it's the frames as gets 'em in, and that is just a beautyl" Wherein They Were Alike. A country minister who, though a poor man, was notoriously defective and hesitating in his style of delivery in the pulpit, was sitting having a cup of tea with one of the old spinsters connected with his congregation when he observed that the spout of the tea pot was either choked or too narrow.
