CUPID AT THE BAR. Why the Loving Maiden Posed as a Grand Jury. "If you were a-a jury. Clara." said the embarrassed young lawyer hesi tatinglv. "I could plead my cause with more self possessiou. Bit in Cupid's courts I don't thinl; I can claim to be a first class advocate." "Perhaps you have not had an ex tensive practice, William." suggested the maiden softly. "That's it exactly. Clara," eagerly rejoined the young man, moving his chair a little nearer. "I'm a new hand at this business. But if I felt sure the jury" "Meaning me?" "Yes-wasn't prejudiced against the counsel" "What kind of jury are you consider ing me. William?'' she asked, with downcast eyes. "A common jury, of course. You couldn't be a grand jury, you know." "Why not?" "Because I don't plead before grand juries." "I think, William," said the blushing maiden. "I would rather. for this occa sion, be considered a grand jury, if you don't mind." "Why. dcar?' "Because"- And she hid her far-e somewhere in the vicinity of his coat collar-"because I have found a true Bill "-London Answers. A Seasick Hero. No man is a hero while seasick. La fayette was sent by Washington and congress to France to ask further sup plies of men and money for the Ameri can colonies. He sailed from Boston in the frigate Alliance, and a passage had to be cut for the ship through the Ice. Off the Newfoundland banks the ship was assailed by a terrible tem pest, which threatened destruction, and Lafayette was very seasick. His aid de-camp. the Chevalier de Pontibaud. who relates the incident in his me moirs. heard him soliloquizing thus on the hopelessness of the situation and the emptiness of glory: "Diable: I have done well certainly.

Myths of the most bewildering kind spring up and flourish and often bear a ripe harvest in the minds of ignorant Mohammedan populations during times of crisis.

In a slaughterhouse near Paris rats in a single night picked to the bone the carcasses of thirty-five horses. There is very little, that they will not eat: eggs. young birds and animals are among the dainties which they snap up in the ordinary course of business. But when pressed by hunger they will eat anything through which they can drive their terrible teeth. Rat will eat rat. The idea that a trapped rat will bite off an impris oned leg and so escape is now said to be wrong: it is the other iats which do the biting. They eat the captive. Everything taken into the stomach should be digested fully within a cer tain time. When you feel that, your stomach is not in good order. that the food you have eaten is not, being di zested. take a good, natural digrestant that will do the work the digesttve juices are not doina. The best remedy known today for all stomach troubles is Kodol, which is guaranteed to give prompt relief.

A Wies Answer. It takes but :i . 'dinary man to re turn ar - : answer to an insult. The extra -ainary man is he who, un der such circumstances, holds himself so well under control that he controls his adversary also. Persia once pos sessed such a man and was clear sight ed eIough to make him a judge. He was the chief judge of Bagdad in the reign of Caliph Hadee, and his name was Aboo Yusuph. He was a very wise man, for he knew his own de ficiencies and was actually sometimes in doubt as to whether he possessed sufficient wisdom to giv.e a just de cision in cases peculiarly shrouded in mystery. It is related of him that on one occasion. after patient investiga tion of facts. he decided that he had not sufficient knowledge to pronounce on the case before him. There was in his presence a pert courtier, one of those men who take long to learn that wisdom and impudence are not closely related. "Pray, do you expect that the caliph is to pay you for ignorance?" he asked, hoping to place the judge at a disadvantage. "I do not." was the mild reply. "The caliph pays me. and pays me well, for what I do know. Were he to attempt to pay me for what I do not know the treasures of his empire would not suffice." Didn't Want Much.

One of the most anxious moments for battleship builders arrives when a new vessel is launched. And, by the way of compensation, this is the time when the tallow salvors are joyous. The day fixed for the ceremony of launching is reached, and. as usually haipens when a battleship is to be launched, a big crowd assembl4 The battleship rests on "slipwals," down which she will glide from the dock yard into the water. The only thing that prevents the ship from sliding in to the water before the proper time Is the "dog shores"-large pieces of wood that keep in position the cradle upon which the battleship rests. When the cord that releases the dog shores is cut the battleship glides down the slip ways into the water amid the cheers of the spectators and the playing of the band The slipways have to be made as smooth and as slippery as it is pos sible to make trem, so that nothing shall prevent she battleship from glid ing into the water safely. It is the greasy substance with which these slipways are covered that calls forth the joy of the tallow salvors. Since the slightest mishap at the launching would almost certainly prove to be a very costly matter, no pains are spared to insure that everything. including the ship, goes smoothly, and the greasing of the slipways is prop erly regarded as an important task. The material used in the process Is generally tallow mixed with linseed oil or soft soap, and this is smeared on to the ways to a thickness of about two inches. Every inch of the ways must be covered carefully, and a host of men are employed in the work. First of all, the tallow is spread on with trowels, so as to give a smooth and flat surface, and then the soft soap or linseed oil is poured on top. Be tween one and one and a half tons of the mixture Is used in the case of a battleship, and the cost of launch ing amounts to a gocd sum, something like ?600 or ?1,000. The tallow salvors get ready to reap the harvest Crowding the water just where the ship is to be launched will be seen a number of small rowing boats belong ing to the tallow salvors. As the ves sel glides into the water the tallow which has clung to the keel and bot tom plates from the ways becomes loosened and floats to the water's sur face in great masses. Then the tallow salvors swarm around. Bared to the shoulder, they reach over the sides of their boats and proceed to gather in as much of the floating tallow as they can. Some of them even have small hand nets to help them, but in any case It Is only a question of a few minutes before the boats are covered, both inside and out, with the slippery, oily mixture, while in the center small heaps of fat gradually arise. No ordinary per son could remain in the boats, but the tallow salvors are not at all particular. They row off with their loads and dispose of them to the local se-p makers. Sometimes as much as ?2 or 3 can be made by a very agile tallow salvor.-London Answers.

These Have the Powe; 3f Spouting Blood From the That certain lizards h:. the power to emit a stream of blood from their eyes has been a tradition of the south west from time out of mind, but many scientists have classed it with the jew el in the toad's head and the hoop snake. Raymond Lee Ditmars, curator of reptiles in the New York Zoological society. made exhaustive research to ascertain what foundation In fact, if any, there is in the tradition of the blood spouting lizards. le had nearly made up his mind that it was purely mythical when he came upon a star tling demonstration of its truth. He had received a particularly fine speci men of the Mexican horned lizard and I after photographing it proceeded to measure it. The result he tells in his "Reptile Book." *The latter process," he says, "seem ed to greatly excite the creature. It finally threw the head slightly up ward. the neck became rigid, the eyes bulged from the sockets, when there was a distinct sound like that pro duced if one pressed the tongue against the roof of the mouth and forced a small quantity of air forward. This rasping sound, consuming but the fraction of a second, was accompanied by a jet of blood at great pressure. "It hit the wall four feet away at the same level as that of the reptile. The duration of the flow of blood ap peared to be about one and a half seconds, and toward its termination the force gradually diminished, as noted by a course of drops down the wall and along the floor to a position almost under the spot where the rep tile had been held. The stream of blood seemed to be as fine as horse hair iand to issue from the eyelid, which was momentarily much swollen. "For some time after the perform ance the eyes were tightly closed, and nothing could induce the lizard to open them. Within two minutes after it was placed on the ground the protrud ing aspect of the eyeballs and the swelling of the eyelids had disap peared. "Most surprising was the amount of blood expended. The wall and floor showed a course of thickly sprinkled spots about one-eighth of an inch in diameter. There were 103 of these spots."-Philadelphia North American. Stop that tickling cough!

C' SECRET CHCK SIGNS, Ways by Which Millionaires Pro tect Their Signatures. FOILS AGAINST FORGERIES. In the Absence of the Hidden Mark a Bank Will Refuse to Pay-An In stance Which Shows How the Secret Sign May Serve Other Purposes. If all reports be true, then the life of the millionaire, like that of the po liceman, is most certainly not a happy one. There is little doubt that a certain class of c:iminals regard millionaires as legitimate prey, and the million aires, knowing this, are compelled to contrive schemes to thwart their cun ning. The modern method of doing busi ness by check has to a large extent provided the forger with opportunities for the exhibition of his workmanship. Therefore many of the millionaire's schemes for his protection relate to his signature on checks, and these schemes, which usually consist of se cret marks entirely apart from the signature, indicate to the bank the genuineness of the checks and are mostly of a simple character. Far and away the most clever idea for protecting a check signature is the one utilized by an American million aire whose name is as well known in Great Britain as in the States. His idea is an extremely simple one. It is this: On the back of each check tj.t he signs he makes a tiny blot, which looks so innocent and natural. But should the blot be missing then the bank will decline to honor the check. This little blot saved tht. mil lionaire $50,000 on one occasion alone. Early one morning he was kidnaped. His captors threatened violence unless they received E10,000 immediately. The millionaire thought. Then, after hesi tation for a few minutes, he offered to write out a check for the money then and there on the understanding that immediately the check was cashed he was to be released. The terms were accepted, and the millionaire wrote out the check, but he left out-the blot He certainly had great confidence in his plan, for it was impossible to tell what -might happen when the check was presented and payment of it refused. However, the kidnapers went off to the bank and presented the check. Of course the cashiei looked for the blot, and when he saw that it was missing he suspected that something was wrong. Payment of the check was refused on the ground that it was in complete, and the men went away, fol lowed by officials of the bank, who were fortunately able to rescue the millionaire from the desperadoes' hands. Another man of great wealth dis poses of the signature difficulty in a different way altogether. He protects himself by never giving an uncrossed check, and this fact has duly been notified to the bank. Each day his bank pass book is ex amined by his private secretary, and if there is an entry in the book which has no business there then the matter can be looked into at once. Of course if the bankers pass a'forged check, then, generally speaking. they must bear the loss themselves. This system has many disadvan tages. It means that the marn must never allow his check book out of his possession and must place unreserved confidence in his secretary and hisI staff.I The private secretary supplies his employer with any c-ash required, re ceiving in exchange a duly crossed check for the amnount. It is the private secretary, thecrefore. who has to protect his signature from forgery. and this he does in a very ingenious way. He has had a cop)y of his signature cut out of cork. This he uses as he would an india rubber stamp, and he claims that it is as impossible to imitate the markings of the cork as it is impossi ble to duplicate the impression of the human thumb. At any rate, the novelty of the idea has sufficed to scare off would be for gers, for it is stated that no one has ever attempted to copy the cork sig nature. Placing a small grease spot on the check is another protective idea, though the spot has in this case to be precisely in a prearranged position. In a further case the check is never torn out of the check book quite straight There is always a little piece torn off down part of one side, seemingly in Quite an accidental man But still all these devices may fail at times, and in every case the experi ence and cuteness of the bank officials afford additional protection. Indeed, this experience is perhaps the greatest safeguard of all.--Pearson's Weekly. Pinesalve Carbolized acts like a poultice, draws out inflamation and poison. Antiseptic healing.

Two quaint observations about hum ming birds are published in "Early Long Island," by Martha Flint, both quoted from letters of the seventeenth century, written from the new coun try of America. Says one: "The Humbird is one of the wonders of the country, being no bigger than a Hornet, yet having all the Demensions of a Bird as bill, wings with quills, spider-like legges, small claws. For Colour she is as glorious as the Raine bow." Adrian Van der Donck, one of the Hollanders of Nieuwv Nederlandt in 1642 writes of a "Curious small bird concerning which there are disputations whether It is a bird or a bee. It seeks its nour ishment from flowers like the bee and is everywhere seen regaling itself on the flowers. In flying they make a humming noise like the bee. It is only seen in Nieuw Nederlandt in the sea son of flowers. They are very tender and cannot be kept alive, but we press them between paper and send them as presents to our friends." At times when you don't feel just right, when you have a bad stomach, take something right away that will as sist digestion; not something that will stimulate for a time but something that will positively do the very work that the stomach performs under ordinary and normal conditions, something that will make the food digest. To do this you must take a natural digestant like ~Kodol for Dyspepsia.

F.
