I had many of the symptoms of hay fever, and a doctor's prescription did not reach my case, and I took several medicines which seemed only to aggra vate it. Fortunately I insisted upon having Foley's Honey and Tar. It quickly cured me. My wife has since used Foley's Honey and Tar with the same success." W. E. Brown & Co. An Acrobat's Dilemma. The acrobats of the music halls have no end in view except to cause amuse ment. But suppose one should meet them in ordinary life? Mr. Berkeley, the proprietor of a London hotel, was in his office about G o'clock one even ing when he heard a knock at the door, while a voice, which seemed to express pain, cried "Open:" Mr. Berkeley obeyed, but a cry of horror escaped him, and he almost f 'I back ward. He saw before him, rolling on the ground, topsy turvy, a kind of hu man ball which was walking upon its hands, with the head twisted round, eyes protruding and neck contorted. "I did not wish to alarm my neigh bors," gasped this extraordinary be ing-it was a contortionist from a cir cus who had been practicing in his room-"but I cannot unhook my leg from behind my neck, and unless you can help me I am afraid it is all up with me." Mr. Berkeley disentangled the acro bat, who fell exhausted on a chair. Hg had descended twenty stairs upon his hands in this position. A Bedouin's Idea of a Locomotive. It is interesting to know that the railroad between Jaffa and Jerusalem was made possible by locomotives from Philadelphia. They were orig inally made, writes Professor H. W. Dunning in "Today In Palestine," for a road in Central America which un fortunately could not pay for them when they were ready for delivery. They happened to be just right for the Jaffa-Jerusalem line and were at once purchased and shipped. I happened to be in Jerusalem, he writes, the day the first locomotive ar rived there, Aug. 20, 1892. Not only the people from the city, but many from the villages, came to see the new wonder. Among them was a Bedouin from beyond Jordan. He carried back the report to the tribe: "It is like a big iron woman. It gives one screech and then runs away." This ingenious description spread rapidly through the ancient land of Moab. The Lion and the Child. The strange spectacle of a lion play ing with a child is reported to have been witnessed at Vryheid. A Dutch farmer, accompanied by his wife and little boy, was out shooting game. Suddenly the attention of the parents was drawn to the child, who had tod dIed a short distance away to gather wild flowers. Crowing with delight, the little fellow was pulling the hair of a full grown lion, and the animal appeared to be enjoying the operation. Spellbound, the farmer and his wife stood gazing at the scene. The farmer, even if his gun had contained a shot, could not have fired because of the child. The lion skipped sportirely round the boy until, startled by ioud sho:s from the parents, it walked quietly away, followed by a lioness, which up to then had lain concealed in the long grass. A hunt was afterward organized, but the lions had disappear ed into the thick bush.-East Rand Express. She Hated Garrick. Mrs. Clive was eminent as an actress o:. the London stage before Garrick appeared, and as his blaze of excel lence threw all others into compara tive insignificance she never forgave him and took every opportunity of venting her spleen. She was coarse, rude and violent lin her temper and spared nobody. One night as Garrick was perform ing "King Lear" she stood behind the scenes to observe him and, in spite of the roughness of her nature, was so deeply affected that she sobbed one minute and abused him the next, and at length, overcome by his pathetic touches, she hurried from the place with the following extraordinary trib ute to the universality of his powers: "Hang him! I believe he could act a gridiron."-T. P.'s Weekly. Approaching It Gradually. An old farmer, on paying his rent, told his landlord he wanted some tim er to build a house and would be much obliged to him If he would give permission to cut down wood for the purpose. The landlord answered peremptorily, "No." "Why, then, sir," said he, "will yo0 give me enough to build a barn?" "No." "To make a gate, then?" "That's all I wanted," said the farm er, "and more than I expected."-Pear son's Weekly. Complimentary to Him. "Really," said Cholly Sappey, "1 cawn't understand Miss R~ood at all She actually called me a crank." "The Idea!" exclaimed Miss Cutting, "How flattering!" "Flattering?"

George Marshall, a philanthropist who always kept a sharp lookout never to be wasteful, decided to go for a week's camping, taking as his guests sonic ragged street urchins. One morn ing he used the bits of meat left from the evening before and made hash for brenkfast. There was some left over, which he concluded to reheat and serve again at noon. "Johnnie, will you have some hash?" he asked one lad. "Bet your life." replied the lad, who was constitutionally hungry. "Peter, pass your plate for some hash"-to another freckled nosed lad. "Not if I knows It," was the unex pected reply. "I thought you liked hash from the way you ate it this morning," replied Mr. Marshall. "I did like if: for breakfast," said the lad.

"There is a li::tle chap in our town," said the sub-.irbanite, "whose father and mother have words quite frequent ly, and have them loud enough to be heard by the neighbors. The burden of their recriminations when audible is. on the wife's part, that she ever lowered the Hicks family sufficiently to marry a Stubbs, and on his part that he ever honored the Hicks fam ily by allying it with the house of Stubbs. "One day last summer the young son of the house went fishing. He had barely got his line into the brook when he heard his mother calling him. "'There it is,' said he. disgustedly; 'the minute the Stubbses begin to fish the Hickses begin to holler.'"-Cleve land Plain Dealer. Why James Lee Got Well. Everybody in.

The longest dance on record is prob ably that of William Kemp, an actor of some celebrity in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. He was a comedian and danced all the way from London to Norwich. He was attended by a taborer, a servant and an overseer, and it was doubtless a good thing for him that there were no omnibuses or police then, for they would probably have imposed more impediments in the way of his progress than did the country people. He started with several presents of groats and crooked sixpences for luck, and, laden with these, he danced to Stratford with out rest. Subsequently he went in for early rising to avoi market people, and, though suffering from a sprain of the hip which he received, he danced it well again, to the delight of the crowd which accompanied him, some 200 In number. When he reached Norwich he had to dance in and out of the city twice, for his overseer missed him in the crowd and made him do the distance over again to avoid any possibility of error-London Graphic. Live Mule, Dead Boar. An odd hunting adventure recently befell a British officer in India. He was mounted on a fleet mule and was running down a wild boar, intending to lance it, when the animal turned, bit the mule's leg and then fled again. The mule screamed savagely, and in a minute she had deposited the officer on the ground. Then, kicking out vigorously five or six times, as if to see that her legs were all right, she started after the unfortunate pig at lightning speed, with fury in her eyes and vengeance in the crook of her ears. The race was, not long, and the wild boar soon realized that he had exasperated a relentless enemy. He was soon winded, and the mule, com lg up with him, caught him by the backbone with her teeth, crunched it and threw him to the ground and then, before he could rise, kicked him so viciously that he was a dead boar in less than no time. Then the mule returned to her master and gave utter ance to a "heehaw" of triumph. For Sore Feet. "I have found Buclden's Arnica Salve to be the proper thing to use for sore feet, as well as for healing burns, sores, cuts, and all manner of abra sions," writes Mr. W. Jones, of East Poland.

Herbert Spencer tells us in one short, pregnant sentence that the function of education is to prepare us for com plete living. A true chord is touched by Sydney Smith when he urges the importance of happiness as an aid to education. He says. "If you make children happy now, you make them happy twenty years hence by the memory of it." Equally wise are the words of Sir ohn Lubbock: "Knowledge is a pleas are as wvell as a power. It should lead as all to try with Milton to behold the bright countenance of truth in the still air of study-" DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve is good for cuts, burns, bruises and scratches.

What will people think?" but the people themselves seemed to think it about the prettiest incident they had met that day. She was a very little girl, white frocked, pink ribboned, brown curled. With her mother she left the subway train at the Grand1 Central station. The usual confusion prevailed. Timid trav elers grabbed suit cases and bundles and exclaimed, "Oh, dio we change ere?" Trainmen on the platform shouted out directions for local and express trains and the guards of that particular car adjured the passengers frequently and vehemently to "Step lively!" and to "Watch the step." Then all of a sudden there was a lull in the uproar. The little girl was leaving the car. She stopped at the door, look ed back and waved her hand. "Goodby, everybody," she said. The words carried to the far end of the car. They made every one sit up. Two or three persons called out a re sponsive "Goodby," two or three said "Bless the child," and all smiled.-New York Press. The Sea Serpent. When fourteen miles off the coast of Brazil M. J. Nicoll, author of "Three Voyages of a Naturalist," observed a sea serpent which came within about fifty yards of the ship. "All that we could see was a dorsal fin about four feet long sticking up about two feet from the water. The fin was a brown ish black color and much resembled a gigantic piece of ribbon seaweed. Be low the water we could indirectly see a very large brownish black patch, but could not make out the shape of the creature. Every now and then the fin disappeared below the water. Sud denly an eel-like neck, about six feet long and of the thickness of a man's thigh, having a head shaped like that of a turtle, appeared in front of the fin, lashing up the water with a curious wriggling movement. This creature was an example, I consider, of what has been so often reported, for want of a better name, as the 'great sea serpent.' I feel sure, however, that it was not a reptile that we saw, but a mammal." Bought His Own Work. To come across a bit of one's own work in print is an experience not ordi narily exasperating to an author, but a Washington writer on scientific mat ters was recently not very agreeably surprised by such a development It appears that the writer was col lecting material for a monograph on electro magnetism when word came to him of a valuable paper on the subject not long before published in a Berlin journal devoted to science. Thinking that the paper would be of use to him in the work in hand, he had it trans lated. When the English version was laid before him, together with quite a bill for the translator's labor, what was the disgust of the writer to find that the article was nothing more or less than a German reproduction of an ar tile of his own published the year be fore in an English journal. And he had paid twice as much for the trans lation as he had received for the orig inal articlel-Washington Star. A Dream Superstition. I heard what was to me at least a new piece of supers;tition the other day, and when I think of the risks I've run all these years because I didn't know of it my blood runs cold- I met a wo man from Virginia in market, and the talk falling on dreams I recalled a most blood curdling nightmare I had had the night before. "I must tell you what I dreamed last night," I said. "Let me ask first whether It's a pleas ant or an unpleasant dream?" said the lady from Virginia. "Decidedly unpleasant." "Then for mercy's sake don't tell It!" said she. "Never tell a bad dream on Saturday, for we say in Virginia: "Frday night's dream on Saturday told Is sure to come true, no matter how old." -Washington Post. Australian Cadets. All children in Australia are drilled. but the elder boys are attached to the Australian military forces by means of the cadet corps.

Every year those boys have shooting matches, and the scores prove that among the youngsters there are many who have already become skilled marksmen.-London Standard. Giving Them Credit.

Use DeWitt's Little Early Risers, pleasant little pills that are easy tC PLAYING A TROMBONE A Rather Easy Matter, the Musi cian Seemed to Think. SUCH A SIMPLE INSTRUMENT But Somehow or Another the Ex planation Only Muddled the Man Who Wanted to Learn and Who De cided to Tackle an Accordion. The band was playing loudly in the Trinkfestbiergarten and the little bald headed man had his eyes fastened inter estedly on the trombone player. When the players stopped to recuperate he beckoned the man who works the loose horn over to his table and ordered two glasses of schoenesbraue. "My name is Biggs," said the man whose hair was absent "One of my lungs is trying to quit work,. and the doctor advises me to break up its shift less habits by blowing a brass. The careless way you yank that pump horn looks good, and I want you to put me on." "What do you want to know?" asked the musician. "Just a hint about how you handle that wind machine so nonchalantly." "The trombone Is very simple," re plied the musiker, wiping his'. lips, which curled in thick, red volutese. "The slide Is divided into seven shifts, or positions, about three inches apart. "Starting with the lowest note in the first position-the slide closed-you get B flat Push out the tubes and you hit successively A. A flat, G, F sharp, F and E." "That's only seven notes," objected Biggs. "Yes. Getting the rest depends on how you pucker your lips. In the first position you can make, figuring up ward. B flat, F, B Sat, D, F, B Sat and C. In the second you obtain A. E, A, C sharp, E, G and A. The third gives you A flat, E flat, A flat, C, E flat and A flat It works out the same all the way down. "There are higher notes that I didn't mention, but you won't want to mon key with them. But a good player has a compass of more than three octaves." Biggs looked troubled. "Let me see," he said. "You start in the first position with B flat" "Yes," replied the other-"that is, provided you are playing in the bass clef. In the treble clef the first posi tion is C." "Whatl" exclaimed Biggs. "It's one note one time and another another?"' "In the treble clef," explained the musician, "the trombone is a B flat horn. In the bass clef it is a C horn." Biggs mopped his brow. "Say that again, will you?" he ap pealed. "Don't you see?" came the answer. "When the first position- is C it's a B flat horn. When the same shiut Is B flat it's a C horn." Biggs unbuttoned his coat "You may call this thing simple," he said, "but if it is I'll give myself up at the nearest asylum. You are talking antonyms." The musician grinned. "We'll take one thing at a time," he said. "In getting at what a B flat horn Is let's consider a cornet" "Let's, if it's simpler," said Biggs hopefully. "It's because it's always a B flat horn." replied the other. Then he add ed, "Except when it's an A horn." Biggs gave a sickly smile. "The lowest note on a cornet when open-when no keys are pressed down -is really B flat," said the bandan. "But it is called C." "That doesn't make it C," said Biggs. "For all practical purposes it does," was the reply. "There is a reason for doing this, but It's complicated and at present I'm keeping to simple facts." "Yes, indeed," inurmured Biggs. "In an orchestra, for instance, when the first violins are playing in C nat ural the cornetist's score is two semi tones hIgher and is thus written In D) or two sharps. When the violins are playing in D) the cornet player is toot ing in E or four sharps. But If things kept on this way the cornetist would soon be lost in a confusion of sharps and double sharps, so he slips an A crook on his instrument That raises the signature three semitones. When the fiddles play in A or three sharps the cornetist is blowing along the easy path of C natural." "Look here," said Biggs, "if? my wife is playing 'Under the Pink'LIlac Bush' on the piano, couldn't I play with her from the song score?" "Not unless you can mentally trans pose as you go along," said the mu sician. "The system looks queer at first, but it's logical. Its purpose is to bring the same music within the nat ural compass of all the Instruments of a band or an orchestra. ' But if you are going to play the trombone you won't have to bother your head about any of this, as trombone music is now adays always written In the bass clef." "Then what have you been tang about It for and mixing me up?" shouted Biggs, jumping up. 'What are you getting mad about?' asked the trombonist. "I'm not mad." replied Biggs. "I'm only going to make my will and buy an accordion."-Washington Post No Longer a Secret. "So that great inventor is dead and his wonderful secret is lost" "Not at alL.

What One Visitor Was Treated to at Washington's Home. The diary of Manasse Cutler, the founder of Ohio and the author of the ordinance of 1757, gives an account of a visit he made to Mount Vernon two years after General Washington's death. We ,say "General" Washing ton, for that was what Mrs. Washing ton was pleased to call him-a copy for all those good women whose husbands have won them honor on the field of war. Mr. Cutler says it was the desire of . their party -to arrive at Mount Vernon in time for breakfast Ci o'clock) with Mrs. Washington, but" the bad roads and worse horses detained them, so they did not reach there until about 10, which Mrs. Washington regretted, but she said, "Breakfast would be ready In a few minutes." The diary goes on to say: "In a short time she arose and desired us to walk into another room, where a table was elegantly spread with ham, cold corned beef, cold' fowl, red her ring and cold mutton, the dishes orna mented with sprigs of parsley and other vegetables from the garden. At the head of the table was the tea and coffee equipage, where she seated her self and sent the tea and coffee to the . company." The point of interest is that break fast menu-five kinds of meat decked with sprigs of parsley and accompa nied with divers vegetables. Isn't there an appetizing array and doesn't the heart long for just such a scene? Of course the mere feeders, the fel lows that hanker for hot things, may not think so, but the very mention of cold ham, cold chicken, cold mutton and cold corned beef all in the same breath is an appeal to a conscientious appetite that is unresisting. And that was a breakfast of the long ago. Most generous providers these well to do people In the early days! How good everything must have tasted! That roast chicken and roast mutton and that-great tender clean chunks of it, that he would not dare say which was best, for each was best Compare it with our latter day breakfasts-a roll and an egg and a cup of coffee! Of course we like. our way, 'but that Is possibly because these are degen erate days.-Ohio State Journal.

Shipwrecks and Courts Martial: The custom of holding courts martial in the British navy after every case of shipwreck- has a curious origin. In 1741 the Wager, one of Commodore Anson's vessels, was wrecked off the coast of Chile, most of the crew beingr saved.
