The Story if u Itnrcunn Thnt Wm

It is vltliiu ibo memory of uuiuy
people Unit the custom of seliooltcacli
crs "botmliiiK around" was the usual
tUlnj; la country districts. Although
n custom which teachers seldom liked,
It is doubtful if many of them had ns
hard a time us u young schoolmaster
who described his experience in the
New England Calaxy for 1817. The
article was written by Leonard Ap
thorp, then an undergraduate of Bow
dolu college. The young schoolmaster
was to receive $13 a month and his
board.
From the first day 1 perceived that
I was at board on speculation nud at
the mercy of a close calculation, he
writes. One day the whole dinner con
sisted of a single dumpling, which
they called a pudding, and live sau
sages, which in cooking shrunk to the
size of plpcstcuts. There were five of
us at tabic.
A few days nfterward, on my return
from school, my eyes were delighted
by the sight of nn animal 1 had never
seen before. It was n raccoon, which
the young man. Jonathan, had killed
and brought home in triumph. When
skinned, he seemed to be one entire
mass of fat and of n most delicate
whiteness. I was overjoyed and went
to bed early to dream of delicious
steaks which the morrow would bring.
Long before daylight I heard the
family stirring, and the alacrity of
quick footsteps and the repeated open
ing and shutting of doors all gave as
surance of the coming holiday.
I was soon ready for breakfast, and
when seated at table I observed thnt
the place of Jonathan was vacant
"Where Is Jonathan''" I asked.
"Cone to market," said they.
"Market! What market, pray? I
did not know there was any market
in these parts."
"Oh. yes." they said, "he Is gone to
. about thirty miles to the south
ward of us."
"And what has called him up so
early to go to market?"
' He is gone," said they, "to sell his
raccoon "

SILBERBERG,
A MONTE CARLO LEGEND.
The Stury the Onuplrm Tell iif the
AVaiiilerlnir Jen.
All gamblers are superstitious, and
some of their pet superstitions are now
so old us to have acquired the respec
tability of venerable traditions. The
croupiers of Monte Carlo have an In
teresting set of traditional supersti
tions of their own, most of which are
entirely unknown to the nrany thou
sands of visitors who toy with the
"tiger" In that gilded court of chance.
The most striking of these Is the
story of the Wandering Jew, which the
croupiers believe vs fervently as they
do that the bank will down any "sys
tem" that ever was Invented. There
Is one day, and one day only, In the
year on which the rooms of the casino
at Monte Carlo are closed that Is on
Good Friday. When the rooms are
opened on the following day, they say,
the first person to enter the "Grand
Xonvelle Salle de Jeur" Is an old man
of venerable appearance. He wastes
no time; but. walking straight to one
of the tables, he places with the trem
bling fingers of extreme old age a
piece of money upon a certain numler.
The wheel is turned, the croupier's na
sal cry fails upon the ear, announcing
that the number selected by the old
man has won. With a bitterly savage
cxclamntion the aged man seizes his
winnings, throws them about him and
hurries from the room to disappear, no
one knows where.
He Is the Wandering Jew, and until
he can lose a bet at Monte Carlo he
must continue his wanderings. Get on
the "blind fide" of any of the old crou
piers of Monte Carlo, and they will till
you this legend. Have they seen him?
Of course they have and are fully per
suaded that the aged and mysterious
stranger is none other than the man
condemned to perpetual earthly wan
derings nearly 2.(hki years ago.

An enterprising Insurance agent In
duced nn Irishman to take out an accl
dent policy for his wife. A few days
later while conversing with a friend in
his olllce he was startled to see the
Irishman rush In, brandishing fiercely
a stout cane.
"Ye rascal!" he yelled, springing to
ward the agent. "Ye wanter cheat
me?"
Fortunately the enraged man was
disarmed and held fast by the agent's
friend, who was a powerfully built
man. The Irishman, struggling to get
free, shouted:
"Let me git at the spalpeen! Think
ov It, chargin me folve dollars fer an
acshident ticket fer me ole woman, an'
she jest broke her leg n-fallin' down

riReon'a Milk Not a Joke.
the Joke about pigeons milk has a

which the young are fed. This fie

Kot a LUtl Wolf, bat a Dlaled
Forest Mouarrh.
Not "little wolf." as the Ignorant
think. Is the slgniticaiice of wolverene,
but something of greater dignity-oil
embodiment of the terrible spirit of the
wild lire of the prehistoric forests.
Wonderful In Its strength and courage,
a tree climber on occasion, not Immense
of size, but with limbs and claws great,
out of all proportion to its size, with a
muzzle almost hoglike, but with great
white fangs, the beast had still an
clement of the grotesque in Its makeup,
with Its sweeping, bushy tail and the
broad bands of yellow white upon Its
back and shoulders. Woe to the small
er beast or the deer upon which It
dropiMxl from some great low banging
branch or before which It suddenly ap
peared In the dense windfalls!
Of all the continent, the Michigan
peninsula was the chosen habitat of
the wolverene, and he struggled long
before backwoodsmen drove him from
his heritage. So enduring was be, so
desperately courageous, that his name
became n synonym for pluck nud
prowess, and proudly the people of
Michigan accept the nlcknamo which
has been given to him. Outing.
What la a Well Dressed Housef
'What in theatrical parlance Is a well
dressed house?" sold a dramatic writer,
and after a silent pause he continued:
"I went the other night to a show, and
as I passed In the doorkeeper said to
me, 'We have n well dressed house to
night, sir. I supposed he meant that
the audience was sporting Its best
clothes, but I found on looking about
that this was not true, and so between
the acts 1 asked him what he had
meant. He answered: 'l meant that
the house had been seated by the bos
office man very cleverly, so that it bal
anced well, and so that the fact that It
was not small was not perceptible. To
dress n house is to distribute un audi
ence nil over It so It looks full when It
Is, ns n matter of fact, far from being
so. There are here enough people to
fill about the first seven rows of the
orchestra, but the house Is well dress
ed, and on looking nt It you have the
Impression thnt It la fairly well filled.
Every ticket seller should see to It that
his house Is dressed properly. That is
why you so often fall to get seated ns
far up front ns you would like.' " Phil

Why Shakespeare Endures.
What Interests us In Shakespeare's
plays Is not the plays themselves, but
the (strictly Irrelevant) truth mid beau
ty that he poured Into them. We love
them for their matchless poetry and
their matchless insight into the human
soul. "Hamlet" is for us nothing but
the study of n contemplative man dis
tracted by the necessity to be up and
doing, "Macbeth" the study of a noble
mind degraded by ambition. "The Mer
chant of Venice" the study of racial
strength against contempt and persecu
tion. Nothing to us now the actual
framework of these studler.; everything
the studies themselves and the lan
guage In which they are set forth. Our
pleasure In the production of a Shake
spearean play Is according solely to the
illuminative rigiitness of the conception
of the chief character or characters and
to the sonorous beauty with which the
verse is declaimed by all. Saturday

The Spanish Schoolteacher.
The teacher of nny land may be over
worked. He may suffer from the par
simouious policy of the powers and be
underpaid even In our own enlightened
country, but In few countries, certain
ly not In the United States, could such
a story as the one which follows be
truthfully told:
In the streets of a Spanish city, says
the author of "The Land of the Dons,'
a police officer stumbled on the corpse
of a ragged and emaciated pauper. In
making out his report he asked what
he should enter as the dead mail's pro
fession.
"What did he die of?" asked the mag
Istrate.
"Starvation," replied the policeman.
"Put him down ns a schoolmaster,"
replied the magistrate.
Tonsllltls.
Au attack of tonsilitis can usually be
warded off by painting the Inflamed
tonsil with tincture of iodine. If you
are unsuccessful lu the attempt and the
tonsils ulcerate, swab them nt once
with gualucum and repeat in fWe or six
hours. This I learned from a well
known throat specialist of St. Louis,
and I find I can almost always recover
without the services of my physician.

A Great Discovery,
Not Made by Accident.
Great discoveries are not always madt
oy accident but oiten by perseverance
constant study and experience. Such w
the case that resulted in the discovery ot
Thompson's Barosma which is remarkable
lor its cures in Kidney, Liver and bladdei
troubles, also bcialic Rheumatism
Barosma is remarkable also in the fac
that the cures it makes are Permanent.
A Serious Case Easily Cured.
The third dose of Thompsons' Barosma
made me feel like a new man. I suffered
about a year with paiu in the back, side
and groin. My hands, arms, and side of
face became numb ; would wake up numb
all over ; had to get out of bed and go
turougn gymnastic exercises to get asleep,
I made up my mind to sell out th
jewelry business, as I lost thirty pound:
of flesh in oue year. I am very thankfu
I took Thompson's Barosma and shall
remain in Titusville. Any person ffiicted
as I was can call on I. I. Borne, jeweler,
29 West Spring street, and learn what
Barosma, Backache, Liver, Kidney and
Lumbago Cure did for me. It is a valu
able remedy. The above cure was effect
ed five years ago and I have been well
ever since. J. J. BORNE
Cured in Four Days.
About twenty years ago I contracted a
sprain and lumbago, causing numbness
in back and hips, which confined me to
my bed. Capt. S. R. Smith called on me
and said : "Get a bottle of Thompson's
Barosma," which I did taking large doses
and to tny surprise in about four days I
rolled out of bed a well man. Although
this was twenty years ago, I have had
no return of the symptoms since.
