The latter, hearing tha ene of James MacNeill Whistler's works had been put on sale, was hur tying to New Bond street to have a Yok at it. Meeting the horsy man on his wa be stated that he was going to have Jook at a Whistler and inquired jocu larly If his friend knew anything about Whistlers, “If 1 know anything in the world 8 what constitutes a geuuine whis tler,” replied the man, greatly to the astonishment of the first, who had mever heard of such an infirmity the horse, “Come then,” said he, “and I'll get your opinion on one that's in this neighborhood.” Well, they entered New Bond street and when they came opposite the print seller's where the pleture was hanging the leader of the quest sald: “Here we are. It's inside.” “What's inside?’ asked the other. “The Whistler.” sald the first, “It's the queerest place for a stable 1 ever knew," remarked the horss man. “Where's the whistler here?” “It's upstairs.” said his friend, tering “How the mischief did they get upstairs? inquired the other. “1 suppose they carried It up. You didn't faney it could walk, did you?” “Is it so far gone as that? It must be a roarer,” said the horsy man as they went up to the first floor, “1 don't know any modern named Roarer.,” sald the other i" Ol along, en it paintes “But there's the Whistler, and you may give me your opinion on it He ‘Bauterne In A Flat.'"” The horsy man turned without =a word, strode ont of the shop, and the two have never spoken since calls it Varying Sounds That May Be Hearc Through the Stethoscope. The doctor hears some curious noises when he places the stethoscope agains: your chest When the lungs are in a healthy condition the medical gentle man bears a pleasant, breezy sound soft in tone, as you draw in the breath and expel It. Should the instrumer convey to his ear a gurgling or bub bling sound he makes a mental note of the fact that you are in what Is known as the moist stage of bronchitis i the dry stage of the same complain’ the sound is a whistling. wheezy one One of the sigus of pneumonia is the crackling note that comes through the stethoscope. It is not unlike the sound that can be heard when your finge: and thumb have touched a sticky sub ton, and you first place them fr gether an thetn close to your ear. Doctors occasionally bear a drippio sound. and that indicates that air and water have got into some part of the chest where they have no right to be Blow across a bottle, and you will pro duce a sound which is actually to be beard in your chest. It Is caused Ir the same way-that Is, by air passing over a cavity. —————————— Filipino Buglers. “Speaking of buglers.” says Boat swain Juraschka in his article, “C tured by Filipinos.” In Wide World Magazine, “it astonished me to find that the insurgents had so many bn glers and that many of them were of the best.

He was very much Interested and with good reason. as he had just escaped from the attack of our men at Lloflo and could well belleve It.

An ordinary tent when the snow Is fiying would be filled in no time. “The tent Is pyramidal, with one pole in the center, and the edges are usual ly held down by the sledge runners or by snowshoes used as tent pegs.

The two cooking pots are filled with pounded ice and put on the stove. When the ice melts one pot is used for tea and the other may be used to warm beans or to boll meat if there is any “Each man has a quart cup for tea and a bunting knife which serves many purposes.

Men of former ages, unless they lived pear the sea or a river, had great dif. culties in gratifying their taste for fish, The great houses had their fish pouds or stews, but sea fish, such as cod, | bream. sturgeon, herring and sprats, | were salted, and the excessive con | sumption of highly salted fish in the | middie ages Is sald to have produced | leprosy.
