A Reliable Medicine-Not a Narcotic. MIrs. F. Nlarti. St. Joe. Mlich., says: "Our litile boy contracted a severe bronchia! trouble and as the doctor's mtedlicine did rot cure him. I :ave him Foley's Honey and Ta- Compound in which 1 have great faith. It cured the cough as well as the choking and gag ging spell:, and he got well in a short time. Foley's Honey and Tar Com pound has many times saved us much trouble and we are never without it in the house." W. E. Brown & Co. BRILLAT-SAVARIN. Tribulations of the Famous French Epicure and Jurist. Brillat-Savarin, the author of "The Physiology of Taste," was the abso lute realization of the typical good liver. The French revolution confis cated his property and removed him from his office as civil judge. He fied to Switzerland and then to the United States, where he piayed a fiddle in a New York theater to gain a living. His property was afterward returned to him, and he was made a counselor of the supreme court, an office he clung to successfully through changes of empire and kingdom. His "Physi ology of Taste" shared the fate of many celebrated books. It was re fused by several publishers and even tually was published at the authors expense, but without his name at tached to it, as he considered the na ture of the work incompatible with his judicial functions. It was Brillat-Savarin who declared that "the discovery of a new food does more for the happiness of the human race than the discovery of a star." "Monsieur the counselor," a hostess asked him one day, "which do you pre fer, burgundy or bordeaux?" "Madame," replied the judicial au thority, "that is a lawsuit in which I have' so much pleasure in taking the evidence that I always postpone judg ment" A LIBERTY WITH TIME. Castelar's Interrupted Lecture In the University of Madrid. - In "Home Life In Spain" is a fine story of -the University of Madrid, which once had among its professors that Senor Castelar who was for a time president of the short lived Span ish republic. But when Alfonso XII. was brought to Madrid after the fall of the republic Castelar. with his com panions, was exiled. - Some years afterward an amnesty was proclaimed, and Castelar returned in triumph to Madrid to resume his office in the university. A vast gather ing attended to hear his first lecture, and the greatest orator in all Spain mounted the rostrum, looked imper turbably at the sea of eager faces sur rounding him and began, "As I was saying yesterday" (Como decia ayer). Between that yesterday and this day' he had fought the battle of the fallen republic and had known the bit terness of years in exile. All memory of this, however poignant in the heart of Castelar, had passed from the pro fessor of Madrid's university, and he continued his lecture at the very point at wbich'it had been broken off. The Sedan Chair. * The sedan chair is named after Se dan, the town where it was first used. The earliest mention of it in England occurs in 1581. -Early in. the following century the Duke of Buckingham ,caused much indignation by its use in London. 'People- were exasperated 4at that nobleman:- employing his fellow men to take the place of horses to car ry him. Prince Charles brought from Spain in 1623 three curiously wrought sedans, two of which he gave to the Duke of Buckinghamn A few weeks after their introduction Massinger pro duced his play, "The Bondman," and in itihe thus adverts to the ladies: For their pomp and care being borne * In-triumph- on men's shoulders. The reference is doubtless to Buck lngham's sedan, which was borne like a palanquin..-"Bygonle EnglaJud." *The Magnetic Poles. Temagnetic poles are not station ary. - The northern one is slowly mov nug westward along thel seventieth parallel and in the course of three or four hundred years will probably have encficled the geographic north pole and returned to about its present loca *tion. Of course the southern magnedec pole follows a corresponding course about the geographic south pole. In such cities in the United States as Omaha, Sioux City, Topeka, Galveston, etc., the compass needle would point about in' the direction of the north star and the north pole that Com mander Peary. reached. This gee graphic pole is-about 1,500 miles north of the magnetic pole, toward which the. needles of all compasses point. St Nicholas. Earliest Use of Mineral Ink. In ancient times india ink, made from lampblack and glue, was used for writing on papyri, but inspection of the earliest vellum or parchment MASS. shows that iron gall Inks were introduced not later than the ninth century. The reason for the change was that, although a cambon ink is more permanent, it has no penetrating power and can be sponged' from the vellum, whereas the iron ink bites in to the fibers and resists the destruc tive action of both air and light Age and Youth. W. D. Howells said of old age at one of his Sunday afternoons: "Age is modester than youth. I've often noticed that when I tell a moth er that her- daughter Is the image of what she was herself at nineteen the1 mother is delighted, but the daughter looks startled." Turn to the Light.

A thousand years before the Christian era a queen of Egypt went down the Nile to he- last resting place under a wonderful canopy of skins that were dyed and pieced together im a mosaic pattern. Years before thLs work had reached perfection and ac quired a definite place among the arts. Then, too, patchwork quilts were made In England in the eighteenth century, as witness the lines written by Cow per to a Mrs. King upon receipt of "a kind presedt of a patchwork quilt of her own making."-Woman's Home companion.

In a biography of Sir Robert art, Juliet Bredon instances a treaty without parallel as a case of good During one of those terrible storms which periodically sweep the shores f Formosa an American vessel was wrecked and the crew eaten by the borigines. The nearest American onsul thereupon journeyed inland to the savage territory in order to make terms with the cannibals for future mergencies.. Unfortunately the chiefs refused to Listen and would have nothin to do ith the agreement prepared for their signature. The consul was irritated by their ob stinacy. He had a bad temper and a glass eye, and when he lost the first the second annoyed him. Under great stress of excitement he occasionally slipped the eye out for a moment, rub bed it violently on his coat sleeve, then as rapidly replaced it. This he did there in the council hut, utterly for getful of his audience and before a soul c'ould say the Formosan equiva lent of "Jack Robinson." The chiefs paled, stiffened, shudder d with fright. One with more pres nce of mind than his fellows called for a pen. "Yes, quick, a pea!" the word passed from mouth to mouth. No more obsti nacy, no more hesitation; all of them clamored to sign., willing, even eager, to yield to any demand that a man gifted with the supernatural power of aking out his eye and replacing it at pleasure might make.

One morning in the early eightie Harriman. walked into his office ani e without any previous warning at s nounced the purchase of his first rai] e road. "Where'd you get the money for it? asked his partners. "Never mind; I got it," said Harr man. The road was the Sodus Bay an< Southern, running from Lake Ontari t to Stanley, N. Y. It was thirty-fou D miles long and owned two crippled lo comotives, two passenger cars and sev en freight cars. "It isn't even a real good streak o: rust," said a man who looked over i e for him. j Harriman pulled out his map. H . was studying railroad maps even then "It's got the best harbor on th lake," he said. "The Pennsylvani road has got to buy it." He started to build a big grain ele . vator and to improve the track. A fev . months later he disappeared from hi, . office for several days and returnet with a check for $200,000. He -hat sold his road to the Pennsylvania rail road. "They had to hive It,'. he said 'They saw it as soon as I showed it tc them." "But I saw it first," he added.-Mo s Clure's Magazine. THE SOUP PLATE. t A Seventeenth Century Cookbooi Tells Why It Was invented. A valet of Louis XIV. published z cookbook in 1651 in which he gives a. follow- the reason for the invention oj the hollow soup plate: The plates of the guests will be hol low in order-that they may help them selves to as much soup as they may want without being obliged to take il spoonful by spoonful because of the disgust they may have for one anothei on seeing the spoon go from the mouti to the tureen. Guests, it will be seen, used theh own spoons to fill their plates, the large spoon to be used for serving the soup not being invented till some time later. Yet even a hundred years'after th invention of 'the soup -plate (1749) s work on civility advised that all the dishes should be so placed on the table that every one could reach them with his spoon and that if the soup was served in a dish (tureen) every one should help himself . with his owr spoon without seeming-to be in a hurry A work on manners that appeared just before the .French revolutlor deemed it best to advise its readers that it was impolite to pass the- spoor back and forth between the mouth-and the tureen. Difficult Horseback Feat. There are. no better horsemen in the world than the cavalry officers of the Italian army. yet even among them there are very few who could perform the feat achieved by one of them. To run an ordinary foot race is easy enough, but to run at full speed for several hundred yards holding in one hand a spoon on which rests an egg and to reach the goal without dropping the egg is a feat which must be prac 1t.ced carefully a long time before it can be performed successfully, and as a result there are not mnany who- can be sure .of accomplishing it whenever they try. Great, therefore, was the surprise-when an Italian officer mount ed on horseback performed this diffi cult feat. Moreover, he selected a course in which there were two or thi'ee high fences, and these he cleared at full-gallop without losing the egg. Time Fo:- Stillness.. Mrs. MacLachlan was kind to her American boarder, but she did not pro pose to allow her to overstep the limits of a boarder's privileges, and~she made it very clear. One Sunday the boarder returning from a walk found the win dows of her room, which she had left wide open, lightly closed. "Oh, Mrs. MacLachlan, I don't like my room to get stuff," she said when she went downstairs again. "I like plenty of fresh air." "Your room will na' get stuffyin one day," said her landlady firmly.

There is nothing like having one I timepiece to correct the mistakes of - another. Those people who keep a - clock in every room of the house will no doubt be glad to learn of the ex pedient adopted by an old colored jani tor in an office building in Chicago. - One day a man whose office was un der this janitor's charge asked him if L lie had the exact time. "Just a mo ment, sir," he said and pulled out a battered silver watch from a vest pocket, looked at it, put it back and then took a pencil out of another pocket and jotted down something on the back of an envelope. Next he produced a second silver watch from his trousers pocket, looked at it and began to figure out some thing on the paper. By and by he said: "When you asked, sir, it were jest twenty-seven minutes past 3-that's exact." "Much obliged," said the other, who had been fingering his watch nervous ly. "But will you please tell me what you, were doing all that arithmetic for?" "Why, you see," said the old man, "this watch that I carry in my vest is' a mighty good watch, only it gains ten minutes every day. And this one is a mighty .good one, too, but it loses ten minutes every day. So I just look at them both and then strike an average. You'd be surprised, sir, to see what a simple matter it is."-Exchange. THRASHING SERVANTS. Domestic Life In England in the Time of Henry Vill. ,In that remarkably minute chronicle of domestic life in England in the time of Henry VIII., Tusser% "Five Hundred Points of Good Husbandry," the learned and pious author seems to take it for granted that the only way of dealing with maidservants is to thrash them unmercifully. He tells us in his inimitable doggerel that "a maid must be forced to be cleanly" or she is to be "made to cry creak." Mistresses are advised "to go about with a holly wand in their hand, although they may not always have occasion to use it. and to pay home when they fight"-that is to -say, thrash-"but not to be always chid ing." As regards the laundry, the domestic serfs are "warned to take heed when they wash or run in the lash and to wash well, wringwell and beat well, so that if any lack beat ing it will be themselves." As for the unhappy Cicely, the dairy maid, she is to cry "creak"-that is to say, to be' thrashed-if her cheese is "hoven" or puffed up, and if the -cheese be tough Cicely is to have "a crash." If the -cheese * be spotted Cicely is to be amended by the bayes, and'if it be too full of whey the wretched dairymnid is to have "a dressing." Finally, if any maggots are found in- the cheese, "mistress is to be Cicely by and by." An Artist's Joke. Holman Hunt, who began life as a clerk to an auctioneer and estate agent, was constantly drawing por traits when he -should have been draw ing up leases, and in his chosen pro fession he was never slow to seize the flying moment. The 'windows in his room w'ere made of ground glass, and as he had little to dohe spent much - of his' time in drawing fies upon its roughened surface. A. blot of ink suf fied for the body and some delicate pencil strokes for the wings, and at a (J distance the deception was perfect. Day by day the number'increased, and r) one morning .his employer came m stpped before the. window and - claimed: "I can't make out h~ow It is. Every day that I come into this room L there seem to be more and more flies." And, taking out his handkerchief, he attempted to brush them away. - One Conductor Helped Back to Work; - Mr. Wilford Adams is his name, and he writes: "I was confined to my bed ~ with chronic rheumatism and used two bottles of Folev's Kidney Remedy with - ood effect.
