IN THE CHARITY HOSPITAL
Willio is funn}- and brown and awact.
His wool would kink, if they li t ■ grow,
He wears a plaster cast on his feet
And lives his life in a hospital row.
Hews on rows of white little beds,
White liltle faeos, rows on rows;
White little pillows for little heads.
And that is the world which Willie know*
Willie plays on his cot all day,
Passing rich with a bit of suing
And laughs when any one conies his way,
Into the world where he is king.
Narrow realm for a king to rule!
Scanty treasure he hoards and spends!
A flower, a n.arhle, a broken spool—
But then, you see, it all depends.
Nobody cuddles hint np again
And tucks him close st night with a kiss.
Nurses are busy of course, and then.
Who but a mother could ever do this?
Nobody (olds his brown little hands
And teaches him, “Now I lay me” there.
But Some One listens and understands
When Willie stumbles say ing his prayer.
Out in the world men work and fight,
And some are wounded, and some must fall,
And the right goes wrong and the wrong cornel
right,
But it never bothers Willie at all.
Woolly and funny and brown and sweet,
Living his own little life apart.
With a plaster cast on his poor little feet,
And God's own sunshine sure in his heart.

Tho Capital Was Acquired, but a
Tender Heart Prevented Its
Profitable Investment.
VTPTXT/ut^JiiiYT a ijldgire to become a
capitalist.-'Lucille Bcemed to think it
art uTlrvngh at me for this extreme-
lyTatillable ami perfectly natural am
bition. As for her, she wasted her sub
stance iu riotous living, spending ev
ery cent of her salary on opera tickets,
Imported toilet articles and tortoni bis
cuit with a reckless disregaul for the
future that could only mean one thing
—namely, matrimonial hopes.
And. to toll the truth, Lucille was
attractive enough to warrant her hav
ing some hopes in this direction and
could have had her pick any time
from half a dozen young fellows, each
one of whom got almost as much sal
ary as she did.
But that has nothing to do with my
own ambitions, which were of a very
different sort. I say were, for I’m not
so sure about them now, my first expe
rience as a capitalist having rather un
settled my views of life for the time
being.
1 was very young indeed when I
first formed my ideas as to the desir
ability of wealth. It whs way hack iu
my childhood when old Mr. Higgiu-
son used to come to church in his great
fur lined overcoat and dirty linen, and
I observed how the minister and the
elders crowded around him to shake
his hand, when he was such a hateful
old curmudgeon that 1 had privately
thought the Lord ought to have made
some sort of a public apology for per
petrating him on the community.
“Oh, Jligginson has got a lot of
money out at interest,” my father
would say when I ventured to wonder
why people made such a fuss over a
dirty and disagreeable old man.
What a marvelous power “money out
at interest” must he, I thought, when
it can transform even Mr. Higginson
into an acceptable companion.
And so at that early age I was made
acquainted with the potency of wealth,
and I resolved that some day I, too,
should have “money out at interest.”
When I was made head stenographer
In a big law office, I considered my am
bition as good as realized. It had
seemed so far away before that I’d
never tried to save very much, hut now
that it was fal/ly within my reach 1
began to lay up money at a frantic rate.
“If you get another raise in your sal
ary, you’ll he so stingy you’ll take to
lunching out of the mucilage bottle and
wearing your bicycle suit to church,”
declared Lucille in disgust.
But I just let her jeer and kept on
economizing, and at last there came a
day when I had $1,600 in the hank.
Mr. Adams, a friend of my father’s, in
vested it for uie'in a first mortgage on
a suburban cottage, and when the pa
pers were signed 1 went home flushed
nnd triumphant.
“Congratulate me, Lucille.” I cried,
throwing myself into a ehair and my
hat on the couch. “1 haf inveshtigated
mein moneys.”
Lucille was trimming a hat to wear
to the theater that night, one of those
silly white tulle aflairs that a single
shower will transform Into an Imita
tion custard pie before your very eyes.
“Huh!” she exclaimed, “I believe you
think you’ve done something really
fine. Sara Dunning, if you don’t look
out, your nose will grow hooked just
like Mr. Dunkelspiel’s down at the
pawnbroker’s shoo.”
“What do I careV” I retorted gayly.
“I’ve got money out at in’crest, Lu
cille. Do you realize what that means?”
“It means that you’ve worked like a
slave and denied yourself all pleasure
for a year and a half to get It, and
you're thin as a shad and yellow as a
lemon. Come on and go to the theater
tonight, and forget that you’re a cap
italist long enough to enjoy yourself,
that's a dear.”
But the fever was In my blood, and
I wouldn't listen to her.
So I went on putting money In the
hank and looked forward eagerly to
the time when the Interest from my
investment would begin to come in.
It was paid promptly enough the
first quarter and the second. Then It
lapsed. Six months went by and no
interest.
“It seems to me.” remarked Lucille
one day, “that you’d better investi
gate’ that money in dead earnest.”
“Oh, don’t worry yourself,” I retort
ed snappishly. I was nervous of late,
and besides. Mr. Higginson was al
lowed to he us cross as he liked, 1 re
membered.
“Well, it’s a great thing tt have mon
ey out at interest,” she responded air
ily, tilling her sailor hat over her nose
nnd shaking out her rustling skirts
preparatory to going out. She was
really outrageously pretty.
At the door she met some one coin
ing iu. A pale, forlorn looking old wo
man, with u pinched face and an ap
pearance of having cried for six
months.
“Is this Miss Dunning?” she asked.
I assured her it was, and she pro
ceeded timidly, “1 called to see you
about that mortgage.”
“Ah, yes,” 1 said, hastening to shut
the door on Lucille, who was lingering
in the hall in an unprincipled fashion
which 1 could not approve.
“We’ve been unable to meet our
payments lately,” went on my visitor
iu a depressed tone, “and yesterday
your agent sent me word you ?titended
to foreclose. Oh, Miss Dunning, don't!
I’lease don’t he hard on us. My poor
husband has l>een sick In bed for a
year, nnd if we lose our little home It
will kill him.”
Here the poor creature hurst out
crying, and I reached for my handker
chief, feeling somehow that being a
capitalist wasn't such fun as I’d imag
ined.
“Oh, Miss Dunning,” proceeded my
guest as soon as she was able to speak,
“if you knew how hard we worked to
build that house! We put the savings
of years into It, thinking that iu our
old age we'd have a roof over our
heads. And now we must lose it all.”
A fresh hurst of sobbing Interrupted
her, and I swallowed a succession of
what seemed to he cobblestones. I
tried to think what Mr. Higginson
would have done in such an emergen
cy and wondered if he ever felt as
much like a chicken thief as I did at
that moment.
“Why, don’t cry,” I managed to say
at last. “I’ll not deprive you of a
home. I only bought the mortgage as
an investment, you know."
Here I was actually apologizing for
having “money out at interest.” The
poor woman went away a little com
forted at last, and I went to bed with
a nervous headache.
1 rather lost interest In my mortgage
after that. I didn’t sleep well for some
reason, and when I aid doze a little my
dreams were haunted by weeping old
Indies. 1 got a had habit of going in
to a brown study at inconvenient times
and would start guiltily when spoken
to suddenly.
One day I got a note from Mr. Adams
saying he was going to foreclose at
once and assuring me that I’d get my
money all right—I needn’t worry.
Somehow I didn’t find the assurance
comforting and went home without
any appetite for supper.
“May the Lord preserve me from
ever becoming a capitalist!” cried Lu
cille, looking at my face as I sat try
ing to read after supper. “You look,
my dear, for all the world like Judas
Iscariot after he was found out. A-
funeral would he cheerful beside you.
Thank goodness, Boh is coming to
night.”
Bob is Lucille’s cousin, a young law
yer and the jolliest hoy going. But,
alas, when he came Boh was in the
blues too! He sighed like a furnace
every few moments and finally an
nounced that he couldn’t stay.
“I want to see a man named Adams
about a mortgage,” he said, and I turu-
ed cold all over.
“It’s the saddest case I ever heard
of,” he went on. “An old couple who
are clients of mine had a mortgage on
their home. It was bought a year or
so ago by some shark or other.”
I covered my eyes with my hand
just hero, and Lucille coughed in an
embarrassed way, hut Boh noticed
nothing and proceeded In a troubled
tone:
“Of course they couldn't keep up the
interest. Whoever bought the mort
gage knew they couldn’t. Such people
always figure on that, you know, and
now the poor old chap has gone crazy
over losing Ids home—clean daffy, you
know—and his poor wife will he turned
out unless something is done.”
There was a dead silence for a mo
ment when he stopped, and then I got
up without a word, and going to my
desk unlocked the drawer where I
kept the precious mortgage. With
trembling lingers I seized my pen and
with a few strokes canceled the mort
gage, and as I did so a load rolled off
my heart.
“Here,” I cried eagerly to the mysti
fied Boh, “take this to that poor wom
an quick, tonight!"
“Oh, Sara!” cried Lucille, “you
worked so hard for that money.”
“So has she,” 1 said. “And I am
young and strong, while she is old and
helpless. Oh, Lucille, if you knew
how I’ve hated myself lately.”
Lucille took me In her arms and then
explained things to Boh, while I cried
a little, though I couldn’t help thinking
what Mr. Higginson would have said
at my behavior.
We got Bob off at last, as happy as
a lord, and then Lucille embraced me
again.
“You were never cut out fur a capi
talist. I knew it all the time,” she
cried triumphantly.
“Thank you, dear,” I said meekly.
“And say, Lucille, let’s go to hear
Maude Adams tonight.”
“Why,” she exclaimed, her eyes as
big as saucers, “the prices are way up
In O.”
“Who cares?” I said. “I’m richer
tonight than I’ve been for years.”
And we went.—Edgar Temple Field

EATING IN GERMANY.
THE SARCASMS OF A VICTIM WHO
SURVIVED ITS CHARMS.
He Kicks All the Way Down the KIM of
Fare and In Fartieularly Irritated Over
n Dlnh of I’owdered Horne Kadixh Served
Witli Frozen Whipped Dream.
When you havs examined tho con
stitution of tho German cuisino, you
are tempted to grow loquacious. You
aro conscious of having discovered that
tho psychology of a nation cannot lie
constructed upon a mere analysis of its
made dishes. Your estimate of Brillat-
Savariu sinks. Ho could not tell you
M’hat you are, even from all tho menus
of your lifetime. Frciligrath’s philo-
tophic conclusion that “man is what
he eats” you straightway qualify as
true only when referring to cannibal
ism. And yon Mill aver that only iu
the case of paleolithic man cau you
construct a man from tho crumbs that
full from his dinner table. And this
you will want to prove, and conse
quently will grow talkative with pre
senting of much evidence.
And yet, iu your sane moments, you
will have a sneaking affection for tho
statement that a German is a German
because ho eats what he eats. As a gen
eral rule ho may he said to eat five
times a day. But his hunger is con
stantly being stilled.
Ho starts early iu tho day with a cup
of cafe au lait and a small buttered
roll. Tnis keeps him going till 11
o’clock, when ho demolishes a slice of
buttered ryo broad spread with slices
of hard boiled egg, raw chopped beef or
cheese. This ho washes down with a
plass of alo, thus stilling his inner man
till diuner time. Dinner takes place to
ward 1 o’clock and consists of soup
(generally nourishing), a platu of meat,
with potatoes and fruit (cranberries,
prunes or apricotsj, occasionally cheese,
seldom sweets, rarely a green vegetable.
Three hours later coffee is taken,
served with a piece of cake or thick
bread and butter. This is the hour pre
cious to tho gossip and the busybody,
tho time for spreading scandal. Toward
8 o’clock tho appetite again asserts
itself. Tho hour of tho ubiquitous sau
sages has arrived. Their name is legion,
and they share the honors with slices
of ham, smoked goose breast, pieces of
raw nickled herring, and iu summer
hard boiLd eggs and potato salad.
Such is the German method of spread
ing the meals over tho day. Of course
there are exceptions. Many families
have two ample meals a day, hut tho
hulk of tho population oats mostly but
tered bread and snacks. In justice to
Germany one must say that the fare in
many a homo will compare favorably
with that of many an American family.
In the German restaurant tho cuisine
is on tho whole monotonous and the
food singularly insipid. All meats seem
to have the same flavor, all are served
with tho same heavy, viscous sauces,
and Invariably escorted with the same
soaplike potatoes. Stodginess and heavi
ness aro the great blots on the German
faro. The element of variety, too, seems
considered superfluous.
In tho concrete the subject is almost
too painful to face, the difficulty being
to steer clear of exclamations denoting
positive offensiveuess. Some of the
kickshaws which figure regularly upon
tho German table are reputed to be most
sustaining. They certainly are ii ense-
ly and ostentatiously wonder inspiring.
One preparation is everywhere mot
with under the name (more or less pho
netically spelled) of beefsteak a la tar-
tare. Its basis is raw chopped beef;
this, spread out into a pat of elliptical
shape, is crowned with the raw yolk of
au egg, raw finely chopped onion is
sprinkled over it, a garuituro of gher
kins is added, and the whole is eaten
with much gusto and no worse conse
quences than a durable thirst.
Iu many of the dishes you discover
all tho humor, feeling and imagination
of a Wagnerian composition. You find
tho resolute desire to build up harmony
upon discord. Of this nature may be
considered tho traditional menu of New
Year’s eve, carp, pancake and punch.
These three, brought into immediate
juxtaposition and consumed in plethoric
quantities, generally have tho desired
effect—that of inducing a hysterical
good humor.
For stodgluess nothing beats tho fa
vorite dish, panache. It consists of
pickled pork, sour cabbage and a puree
of split peas boiled down to the con
sistency of stiff dough. Experiments on
this mass produce deplorable capers and
cause one to grunt mournfully. A va
riety of this diet is found iu Berlin.
You substitute boiled balls of dough
and indifferent prunes for tho peas and
cabbage, and you have the dish popu
larly termed “the .Silesian kiifgdum of
heaven. ” Cold eels, imbedded in a
trauslucid, glutinous substance, figure
in all workmen’s taverns, M-hile roast
goose is de rigueur for all solemnities.
A dainty which we have recently
met with in Berlin recalled Darwin’s
remark that “hardly any experiment is
so absurd as not to bo worth trying.”
It consisted of finely powdered horse
radish served up with frozen whipped
cream.
One may sum up one’s judgment by
saying of German cooking what the art
critic said of nature, “It has infinite
potentialities.” Not the least of these
is its ambition to discover victims that
survive its charms only in tho form
that the walls of Jericho survived the
trumpet blast of Joshua.—Lippiucott’s

.New Revolver for the Army.
Sbringfikld, Mass., July IS.—The
army is to have a new revolver.
The revolver in use at present in the
army is of the Colt make and was
adopted several years ago. During
the Mar with .Spain much objection
was raised to it, and the special
board appointed to Inquire into the
matter of changing the calibre, al
though they finally decided to retain
the M-calibre, decided that many
changes in the revolver were needed.
It was finally decided to call for new
types of weapons and to submit them
to official test.
The Smith it Wesson revolver sub
mitted is a radical departure in the
revolver patterns of that firm. All
of their previous recent patterns
have the automatic lock at the top
of the barrel, which has been such a
distinguishing mark of the Smith it
Wesson revolvers. In the revolver
to go before the examining board
this device has been done away with
and solid frame has been substituted.
Heretofore the only complaint
raised against the Smith it Wesson
by army officers Iras been its lack of
rigidity. In the new weapon that
difficulty, if it ever existed, lias been
entirely overcome, and instead cf
breaking at the breecli the chamber
of the revolver falls over to the left
when a small thumb spring is
pressed. Tho ejector is then struck
with the left hand and all the shells
in the chamber are ejected simultan
eously. From its action the weapon
is to bo known as the “hand ejector.”
It is built much heavier than any
previous revolver turned out by the
company, the barrel being longer
and the chamber also elongated to
take tho regulation 38 calibre re
volver shell used by the government.
The work of manufacturing the new
revolver was begun by the company
about six weeks ago and upon the
reopening of the shops work will be
pushed forward.
The Colt Manufacturing Company
is not inclined to discuss at length
the points of the revolver they have
submitted in competition. It is
said that the weapon has been
changed from the typo at present in
use in tho army in accordance with
suggestions made by members of the
board who investigated it at tie
close of the Sbanish war. These sug
gestions have been followed closely,
and a number of springs have been
climated, the general tendency of the
changes being to render tho weapon
more automatic.
Extraordinary Drinks.
Uf tho many extraordinary drinks
regularly consumed tho blood of live
horses may perhaps ho considered the
most so. Marco Polo and Carpiui were
tbedlrst to tell the world of tho practice
of thotfartars and Mongols opening the
vein iu their horses' necks, taking a
drink and closing tho wound again. As
far as cau ho seen this has been tho
practice from time immemorial.
There is a wine habitually consumed
iu China which is made from the flesh
of lambs reduced to paste with milk or
bruised into pulp M-ith rico and then
fermented. It is exceptionally strong
and nutritious and powerfully stim
ulating to tho physical organism.
Tho Laplanders drink a great deal of
smoked snow water, and one of tho na
tional drinks of the Tonquiueso is ar
rack flavored-with chickens’ blood. The
list would scarcely be complete without
mention of absinthe, which may bocall-
ed the national spirituous drink of
France. It is a horrible compound of
alcohol, anise, coriander, fennel, worm
wood, indigo and sulphate of copper. It
is strong, nasty and a moral and phys
ical poison.
Snow Trade In Sicily,
The principal export from Catania is
snow, in which a most lucrative trade
is carried on in Malta and parts of
southern Italy. It is collected during
the winter iu hollows in the mountains
and covered with ashes to prevent its
thawing. It is brought down in pan
niers on mules to the coast at night.
The revenue derived from this source is
immense and renders the Prince of Pa-
terno one of the richest men iu Sicily.
Snow is tho universal luxury from the
highest to the lowest rauk and is sold
at the rate of 4 cents for 30 ounces.
The poorest cobbler there would rather
deprive himself of his dinner than of
his glass of “aqua gclata. ”
It is extensively used in hospitals and
a scarcity of it would be considered al
most as great a misfortune as a famine
and M'ould occasion popular tumult.
To guard against such accidents tho
government at Naples has made the
providing of it a monopoly, the con
tractors being required to give security
to tho amount of CO, 000 ducats, which
sum is forfeited if it can be proved that
for one hour the supply has not been
equal to the demand.
Fanny Toothache Cure*.
Before the days of dentists, and when
people generally believed in tho value
of charms, there were ever so many
mysterious ways of preventing tooth
ache.
One of these was to dress the right
side erf the body first—right stocking,
right shoe, right sleeve, right glove. A
favorite plan in Scotland Mas to draw
a tooth, salt it M’ell and burn it in full
view on glowing coals. In Cornwall
many save their teeth by biting the first
young ferns that appear.
Tho custom of catching a common
ground mole, cutting off the pawsM’hile
tho little creature still lives, and wear
ing them, is traced to Staffordshire,
England. Home people M’bo are fond of
exercise believe that walking 12 miles
—no more, no less—to get a splinter of
the toothache tree that grows particu
larly well in Canada and Virginia will
drive away the worst ache and pain
that ever tortured a poor tooth.
The belief that toothache is caused
by a worm ut the roots is prevalent iu
many parts of the world; hence this
cure: Reduce several different kinds of
herbs—the greater variety tho better—
to a powder. Put a glowing cinder into

says be also recommended it to
others and they say it is the best
medicine they ever used. For sale

A Maaloal Sentry.
The author of “With Plumer In
Matebeleland” tells of some humorous
•entry incidents.
A trooper had gone down to a water
hole after tho sentries were posted. On
returning ho was chalbiuged, but, not
knowing tho countersign, tho sentry re
fused to let him pass.
“Hang it all, you know mo well
enough! What’s the use of playing tho
fool ut this time of night?” pleaded the
soldier.
“Can’t bo helped. You know the or
ders, and unless you give tho counter
sign there you are, and them you will
remain!” retorted tho sentry. And ho
did remain there until tho visiting offi
cer admitted him in tho small hours of
the morning.
On another occasion the countersign
was "Nordenfeldt,” the name of a cer
tain kind of gun. A soldier, on ap
proaching the picket, had a hazy recol
lection that some sort of a gun had been
mentioned as tho countersign and in an
swer to tho challenge gave “Maxim.”
"That’s not it,” replied tho sentry.
“Oh, well, tho other kind of gun!”
hazarded tiro man.
"Well, that’s near enough. Pass in,"
said the sentry.
Au orderly officer, on going his
rounds, was astonished to find tho ten-
try tinging at him iu this fashion:
“Hi tiddle de hi ti! Who goes thoror”
"What do you mean, sir, by chal
lenging iu that fashion?” asked tho ofli
cer.
“The last time I M’as on duty, sir, I
was told to challenge in a more musical
voice, and that’s tho only tune I know,
sir,” replied tho sentry.
