HALLER WAS POLITE. A Story of the Famous Swiss Scien tist and Iix Election. Ilalier, a famous Swiss scientist of the eighteenth century, was once well rewarded for his )oliteness to a fellow traveler. Some scientists find it hard to take an interest in anything except their own specialties. It was not so with Halier, His fellow traveler was a good woman from Berne. The con versation fell naturally upon the com modity for which Berne is noted cakes. The Berne dame said with pride that she could make fourteen kinds of cakes. What was her surprise and delight when Haller asked her how she made them! She eagerly began a recital, with copious explanations, of those fourteen recipes, and she had a good listener. Perhaps Haller regretted his rash question, but he did not show it. He listened patiently and smilingly to the end, and he and the Bernese woman parted very good friends, though he had hardly spoken a word. It is safe to say that in all his scientific re searches he had not learned so much about the combination of butter and sugar and eggs. Some time afterward he was elected to an important political office. From some quarters he received an unex pected number of votes. Then he found out that his Bernese cakemaking friend had been so impressed with the intelligence and ability of her fellow traveler that when she heard he was running for office she gave her rela tives, friends and acquaintances no peace of mind until she had secured their promise to vote for him. CABS IN RUSSIA. F ares Are Low if You Are Up to the Tricks of the Drivers. In no European country are cab fares so cheap as in Russia, for there is no tariff at all. On the rank are half a dozen drivers on the boxes of their droskies-tiny victorias, hung low and with just room for two if the two clasp waists after the Russian mode. If you know just about how far you want to drive you take the first driver and tell him where you want to go and what is the price offered. The eti quette is followed invariably. The driver throws up his eyes in horror. He calls upon the saints to witness that so ridiculous~ a price must be dou bled before he could le.>k at it You are not deceived. You .':et on. And before you have gone ten paces the cabman is after you, pointing po litely to the seat in the drosky and, with a grin, repeating frequently the Russian equivalent for "please." But if you are driving to a destina tion at an unknown distance it Is nec essary to ask the opinion of the first bellied, belted, bearded brigand on the box of a drosky. Then it Is your turn to throw your eyes to heaven and call on the saints. A quick problem in division works itself out in your head. Threes Into a ruble? And you put yourself up to a Dutch auction along the rank. "Hotel So-and-so, sorok kopeck!" you cry, with a lean ing toward generosity. There is a race for you. You drive a long way in Moescow for a dime. When Vigo Was Famous. Vigo, the Spanish seaport, is an old time scene of war. It was to Vigo that Drake and Norris sailed In 1588 to place Don Antonio on the throne of Portugal. They burned Vigo, but failed to capture Lisbon and went away cursing each other. So little plunder was there that the common sailors re ceived but 5 shillings a man in wages and took to robbery, for which many of them were hanged in and near Lon don. When the English under Booke put into Vigo harbor again there was treasure in sight A fleet of Spanish galleons, of which Benbow had been in pursuit, was in the bay, protected by a French fleet. Several galleons were captured by the English, but more went to the bottom and there remain to this day. Nowadays Vigo is a com monplace little town. Great MIen. It is a matter of common observ'ation that at the passing of the great men of each generation there is a pessimistic feeling prevalent that "there were gi ants in those days." But the feeling has never had any warrant in the ac tual deficiencies of the oncoming gen erations.

But in time the men have emerged who have taken their places and who have Improved upon the patterns they left -Des Moines Register. Never Touched Him.

Sold by The it PR Tornem Doncr SAne. "Slab's" Ruminations. Editor Th' Mainnian Times: For sometime past I have been rLeminating, and seriously, over the condition of the farmer. And being one of the woolhat crowd myself am naturally aroused over the present condition of things. Isn't it amazing what greed for the all-mighty dollar will cause people to do. Now you take thosc fellows that sent ihe nrice of cotton tumbling, and wha't's the matter with them? Why they war.f moneyand more money, if they have to squeeze us to death to get it. We know that there was a big crop of cot ton made last year, entirely too big for the farmers' best interest for the reason mainly that there was cotton made to the exclusion of other and far more important crops. I figure it out that the speculator was mainly but not entirely to blame for low prices. The speculator saw that we had made a big crop, and he knew we couldn't eat it, it must go on the market sooner or later and there was his chance to squeeze. and of course he squeezed. The farm er was to blame for planting 25 acres of cotton and 5 acres of corn to the horse. And the re sult is we have got to sell cotton at just about what it takes to make it, and pay a dollar per bushel for western corn. And turn it and twist itas you please, western corn don't fatten hogs fast. And another most natural result of a short corn crop means western bacon instead of those good old sweet hams and home cured sides. Now just remem ber last fall as long as cotton sold for 10 cents the farmer did not have to sell his pigs, and pork went to 8 and 9 cents on foot, but just as soon as the cot ton fell, down went pork to 4 and 5 cents. You see the farmer thought he had to sell his shoats; to help out his cotton crop. And' now lie has got to buy that meat back on a lien at 10 and 12 1-2c a pound. All of this just shows a thinking man which way the wind blows. But-amid all this confusion don't forget to eat, and be thankful. The farmers of the South are passing through a period in history or rather have the opportunity of making a period in history, the like of which may never pass this way again, if this opportunity is neg lected. When in all the ages past have the bankers, merch ants and fertilizer companies ever shown such honest desire to help the farmer out of his trouble as they are doing by go ing down in their pockets for the hard cash to help keep the machinery greased? They say to the farmers of the South: Your iterests are our interests. When you fail it cripples us. Our for tunes are linked together, and we want to help you. We wll help you if you will show an honest desire to help yoursel es." That is what they have said and have already contributed of their means to our cause. Now if we turn our backs on this honest offer of help and also on what to us is of such vital mn terest, and say "I am my own man. I'll do as I please. I'll plant as much cotton as I want to. Take your help and go to Guinea with it." Won't such a man or set of men deserve the most ignominious failure? There is one class of farmers that I want to say just a word to. It's those fellows that say, "Oh! well, all my neighbors are cut ting down their cotton crops, now is my chance to make my Jack. I'll -plant more." Now under the existing circumstances and in the light of all reason, what aught to become of a man like that. Friend, don't do it. It's against your interest; it's against the interest of the South. It's to your individual interest to make your own bread and meat and plant cotton as a surplus crop. Try it and see if it don't pay in the end. The opportunity of a life time is before us. Will we grasp it. Yours truly, JOHN SLAB. The following suggestion, credited two a noted. Paris physi cian, is well worth trying'vhere smallpox has made its appear ance. He says: "I herewith apppend a recipe which has been used to my knowledge in hundreds of cases. It will pr-event or cure the small pox, though the pittings are illing. When Jenner discover-ed cowpox the world of science hurled an avalanche of fame upon his head, but when the most scientific schoolof medicine in the world, that of Paris, pub lished this receipe as a solid panacea for smallpox it passed unneed. It is as unfailing as fate and conquers in eve-y in stance. It is harmless when taken by a well person. It will also cure scarlet fever. Here is the r-eceipe as I have used it to cure smallpox. When learned physicians said the patient must die, it cure; Sulphate zinc, one grain, fox glove. (digitalis) one grain, half a teaspoon of sugar, mix with two tablespoons of water. When thoroughly mixed add four ounces of water-. Take a spoonful every hour-. Either disease will disappear in twelve hours. For a child, smaller doses according to age. If Icounties would compel their physicians to use this there would be no need of pest houses. If you value advice and exper iencc use this for that terr-ible discse."-Ex. For Sale.

England, as all the world knows, was the last of civilized countries to abolish the test by torture as a regu lar legal institution. A historian who has made a special investigation of modern methods of torture has discov ered that the barbaric practice is still common in many out of the way cor ners of the globe. The early English system, too, has been widely imitated. Even in the time of Henry III. the tor ture trial was in vogue. First came three days of preparation by fasting and prayer. On the solemn day a cal dron was made to boil in church, and a stone was placed apparently in the boiling water. Two juries of twelve men apiece were present in the interest of accuser and accused. Both sides tested the water, and if they agreed that it was boiling the accused thrust in his bare arm and took out the stone. His arm was then wrapped in cloth and sealed. On the third day the priest inspected the arm, and if it was per fectly healed the accused got off. It seems as if the testing representatives may have been tampered with or the examining priest may have been cor rupted. The same preparation was carried out when the other method was tried. which was the carrying of a redhot bar of iron for three steps. The hand was then sealed and examined as be fore. It has been suggested, as many people escaped scatheless, that the priests had a secret cure for burns or for preventing burns. But such a se cret must have been known to the chemists, and the chemists of today are.ignorant of any such remedy. As late as 1174 a man was condemned to the boiling water. In all cases the ac cused had been declared guilty by a jury. and even if he succeeded in the ordeal he was often banished. In southern India there is a curious case of domestic ordeal. The natives would plunge the arm in boiling oil and come out scatheless. It is well known that the hand, protected by Its natural moisture, can be placed in mol ten metal and not be burned. A. mis sionary tells of a native who was very jealous of his wife. At last the poor woman, wearied by his reproaches, of fered to undergo the ordeal. The husband boiled the oil himself, that there might be no error, and bade her insert her hand, keeping it there till he gave her the word to extract it. He let her hand remain in the oil for some time, and when she took it out there -was no sign of burning. Know Ing the furious jealousy of the man, the missionary had no doubt as to the tem perature of the oil. In Arabia there is a more stringent though less danger ous test. A woman carried hot embers in her veil for twenty yards. If, her veil did not burn, her Innocence was established. It is well in considering these things to remember that the "fire tests" were the great conjurers' tricks from the time of the Greeks to that of the red Indians. In the rituals of all old re ligions treading on hot coals, embers, burning stones, etc., was a common rite. It exists in Bulgaria today. In Borneo a Chinese meat firm intended to establish a business not long ago. The European Inhabitants of the place were cstonished to see the street cov ered for some distance with redhot embers and a respectable Chinese mer chant walking thereon with naked feet. His object was to ascertain by this means whether or not this would be a favorable place to establish his busi ness. A traveler in Fiji recently photo graphed natives walking barefooted over redhot stones. The bands of dry ferns about their ankles were not scorched. For an Impaired Appetite.

Once a year the Mexicans for whom the women do this work, somewhat as the sweatshop toilers of Chicago and New York drive their needles for a master, meet in solemn conference and determine what the prices shall be. So great is the popularity of drawn work generally that the supply never equals the demand, and the profits made by the Mexican masters of the drawn work trust, for it is really that, are enormous. The dealer pays these "op erators" what they demand, and they demand much. Therefore the buyer pays $40 for a "cloth" that costs the "manufacturer" 12 cents a day, labor hire, for, say, ninety days, to produce. Pik'rim. ~ Gulf Weed. In China and other parts of the east gulf weed is often pickled and used In salads. It is found floating in vast quantities in some parts of the Atlan tic, Pacific and Indian oceans. Al though a tropical plant, it is occasion ally carried by winds and carrents to the British coasts. The fronds are long, with distinct stalked leaves and air vessels which resemble berries. The presence of this weed on the Atlantie is regarded as a sure indication of the gulf stream, from which it takes its name.-Pearson's.
