In the right hands it is a poor root that wiii not work both ways. An old quack doctor. according to the Wash iugte; correspondent of the Boston Hera '1. was once called to see a boy who had chills and fever. He proceeded to scratch the bark off a root and put some in one glass of water and some in another glass of water "Give the medicine in this glass for the chills." he then said to the lad's mother, "but give this in the other glass when the fever comes on." "But. doctor." the mother protested. "it is exactly the same in both glass es." "Oh. not at all," declared the quack. "But I saw you scrape the bark off the same root and put it in each glass." "Yes," admitted the quack smoothly, "but you didn't see how I did it. my dear lady. This for the chills I scrape up on the root. and that makes it high cockalorum. This for the fever I scrape down on the root, and that makes it low cockahighrum." Tobacco and Tin Foil. General Winfield Scott was responsi ble for tin foil being wrapped around tobacco. That fact came out in the legal contest over the will of the ec centric millionaire tobacco dealer, John Anderson. Early in the forties of the last century Mr. Anderson kept a pop ular cigar store on Broadway. Felix McClosky, for many years the tobac conist's salaried companion and agent, testified that one day, in 1543 he thoug'.., General Scott came into the store and asked Anderson if he couldt't devise some way of keeping tobacco so it would not be affected by age and changes in climates. Ander son thought about it and shortly after hit upon the plan of wrapping cigars and chewing tobacco in tin foil, there by ke .ping the tobacco moist for a long time. His tin foil covers became popular, and his preserved tobacco was much in demand during the Mexican war and the California gold rush, swelling his business to enormous pro portions and soon making him a multi millionaire. A Comprehensive Word. The word "vermin" seems to have become exceedingly comprehensive in scope now that the society which is devoted to the destruction of such creatures has included not only rats, mice, cockroaches and such small deer among them, but even cats, dogs, spar rows and canaries, on the ground that all these transmit disease to man. By derivation (Latin "vermis") vermin ought to mean only worms and the like, in which literal sense Tennyson writes of the "verinin in a nut." But the term has constantly been loosely applied to all sozrts of objectionable animals, fi'om crocodiles to foxes. Purchas told of the people of Java how thy"feed on cats, rats and other vermins," and Izaak Walten denounc ed "those base vermin, the otters." He used the word exactly in the tem per in which a naughy little boy is berated as a "young varmint."-Lon don Chronicle. The Nine Tailor Saw. The tailor-he was a cutter at a big salary-sighed as he looked about his luxuricus apartment. "She refused, me," he said. "Why? Because she didn't love me? No. Be cause of that old saw about its tak Ing nine tailors to make a man. And that saw is a mistake. It is a cor ruption of 'nine .tellers mark a man.' It doesn't -signify that tailors are ef feminate. It simply shows that man kind is liable to error. The toll of a bell in the olden time was called a teller, and in the olden time the church bells tolled nine times for every man's funeral: hence the saying 'nine tellers mark a man.' In our stupidity we have corrupted that into 'nine tailors make a man' or 'it takes nine tailors to make a man.'" The cutter sighed. "This rank error," he said. "dooms me to bachelorhood."-New Orleans Times-Democrat. Suicidal Flying Fish. The Indian ocean is singularly de void of fish and bird life, but one night dozens of flying fish flew on board a vessel there.

They are mauufacture in many different sizes. from high st prano to the huge contrabass or bon bardon, and the uost, important of th lot is the euphonium, which supplante the now obsolete "serpents" and oph: eleides.

Twists That May Be Given to "Ba" I the Chinese Language. In the Chinese language the sam word may be given several differen meanings by the modulation of th voice. The same thing may happen t the English "Yes." which may be prc nounced so as to mean "I assent t that." or "I am doubtful." or "Indeed? An eminent authority on philolog; gives an amusing illustration of thes modulations in the Annamitic lar guage. a '-onosyllabic tongue spoke: by the people of Tonquin and Cochi China. In this language the syllable "ba pronounced with a grave accent mean a lady. an ancestor. Pronounced wit the sharp accent, it means the favorit of a prince. Pronounced with the semi grave accent, it means what has bee: thrown away. Pronounced with th grave circumflex, it means what ha been left of a fruit after the juice ha been squeezed out. Pronounced wit] no accent, it means three. Pronounce< with the ascending or interrogation ac cent, it means a box on the ears.

The causes of decay in buildin, stones are various and depend on th physical structure of the stone, it composition and the nature of the si rounding atmosphe.-e. The most de structive agent to which the stonei exposed is rain or a moist atmospher and also in a minor degree wind, fros and smoke. The air of large townsi usually charged with various deleterj ous acids. These acids are dissolve< by the rain, which penetrates the ston In a greater or less degree, accordin; to its physical structure, and combine with the constituents of the stone causing It to decay, so that any eor trivance that will check the admis son of water will be most likely t succeed in arresting decay.-Buildin; World.

The Poor Ensign. The following story of German mili r tary otficialism is published in Lon don: One Ensign Flugge claimed com pensation for damage to kit caused by a mouse having gnawed a hole in his best tunic. The officer who had to de cide the poiint dismissed the claim and ordered the ensign to be severely pun isued on the ground that. contrary to orders lie had hung his best tunic on a nail when going on guard at night in an inferior garment instead of pack - ing it in his knapsack, thus enabling a mouse to gnaw at hole in it "without having to overcome the slightest im ped iument." Ensign Flugge appealed, and on further hearing It appeared ' that the officer who first dealt with the case was mistaken in the facts, the tun.- having been stowed in a knapsack at the time when the mouse defaced it and not hung upon a nail. The first decision was therefore set aside by higher authority. and Ensign u Flugg'e was ordered to be severely - punished for having stowed his tunic in his knapsack instead of hanging it on a nail, thereby giving opportunity to the mouse to knaw a hole in it "un der cover of the darkness." The senti s ments of Ensign Flugge are not re 1 corded. The Arab Mare. The Arab is r.garded as the first of - horsemen and the Arab mare as the perfect steed. The Arab's idea of c horse taming is of the simplest. The colt is treated from the first as a member of the family. It goes in and out of the tents and is so familiarized with the doings of that extraordinary creature, man, that there is never any e need of breaking it in. The Bedouin is very careful of his mare. He does not mount her when he sets out to play his usual tricks upon travelers. He rides a camel to which the mare is tethered. Not until the caravan Is in sight does he mount the mare and give chase. There is, by the way, an impression that the Bedouin Is a bloody minded person who would as lief take your life as not. This is un fair to him. He is a thief of very peaceful inclinations and much pre fers to effect any necessary transfer of property with as little bother as pos tsible.-London Graphic. A Poor Bath.

You Probably Think It Is Twenty-four Hours, but It Isn't. Nine persons out of ten-yes. 9f6 out of every 1,I)O--if asked how long it takes the earth to turn once on its axis would answer twenty-four hours, and to the question, How many times does it turn on its axis in the course of the year? the answer would be ^35% times. Both answers are wrong. It requires but twenty-three hours and iif ty-six minutes for the earth to mWake one complete turn, and it makes 3~ .i turns during the year. The er ror springs from a wrong idea of what Is ieant by a day. The day is not. as is commonly sup posed1. the time required by the earth to inake one turn on its axis, but the interval between two successive pas sages of the sun across the meridian that is to say. the time which elapses atft',r the sun is seen exactly south in ts diurnal course through the heavens before it is again seen in that position. Now, in consequence of the earth's revolution in its orbit or path round the sun, the sun has the appearance of moving very slowly in the heavens in a direction from east to west. At noon tomorrow the sun will be a short distance to the east of the point in the heavens at which it is seen at noon today, so that when the earth has made one complete turn it will stil have to turn four minutes longer be fore the sun can again be seen exactly south. THE ANCIENT SPARTANS. They Flogged Men Who Grew Too Fat For Military Service. Among the ancient Spartans every thing was considered secondary to mil itary efficiency, and with a view to se curing this the boys and men were by law kept in a continual state of "train ing." No deformed child was allowed to live. Boys were taken from their homes and subjected to military regu lations at the age of seven. They were compelled to wear the same single gar ment winter and summer. At twenty they joined the ranks and from that age till they reached sitty were re quired to dine at the public tables, where only a certain quantity was sup plied for each man. The magistrates interfered in absurdly small matters. They regulated the degree of fatness to which it was lawful for any citizen to extend his body. Those who dared to grow too fat or too soft for military service and exer cise were sometimes soundly flogged. Aelian in his history relates that Nauclis. son of Polytus. was brought before the ephors (magistrates) and the whole assembly of Sparta, and "his un lawful fatness" was publicly exposed, and he was threatened with perpetual banishment if he did not bring his body within the regular Spartan com pass and give up the culpable mode of living, which was declared to be more worthy of as Ionian than a I Spartan.
