As announcers ot the rail time. Not so with money placed in A Wis Provision. Pld you ever notice when a man smites his thumb with a hammer while putting down a carpet under Ills wife's supervision how quickly tic thrusts the bruised nnd throbbing member into his mouth? People think it is because the application is soothing. But the move ment is purely involuntarily, like wink- lug. The man cannot help it. The fact Is that nature known what a man is opt to suy under such circumstances nnd so has provided him with an auto matic stopper. Whenever bo hits his thumb hard enough to hurt and It doesn't take a very hard blow almost to kill a man when be is doing some thing he doesn't like to do by a sort of interlocking system his thumb flics into bis mouth, and fur the critical moment speech is cut oft. French Humor. A mnn who possessed much land and had many younger brothers was asked why be did not go out bunting, as his brothers did. "Well," snid he, "it Is because it frequently happens that the guns of younger brothers go off accidentally when pointed at the eldest, but it is seldom that the guns of the eldest be have In a similar manner toward the younger brothers." French Joke Book. Her Compliment. A popular English comedian and mu sic hall singer, asked what bis funniest experience was, said: "One time 1 drove up to the theater in Dublin and was humming n tune when I got out. An old Irishwoman who bad failed to get in the theater heard mo and said, 'Regorra, if that is bow he sings 1 am glad I didn't go In.' "-London Mall. Her and on the Moon. Things are bIx times heavier on the earth than they would be in the moon. A mun weighing 150 pouudsson the earth would weigh ouly twenty-live pounds on the moon. A pluyer throws a baseball 100 yards here, but with the snnie exertion In the moou be would throw it COO yards. Boomerang Poems. "I never hear you kicking at the mall service." "No; my poems come back promptlv enough."-ritt8hurg Tost Reading For the Si ok. "And now a word about patients who may feel like rending," said tbe bouse physician to tbe nurse. "When they ask for something to read be euro to give them continued stories always continued stories." "Is that wise?" she ventured to re monstrate. "Won't tbe excitement over what Is going to happen In the next number have a bad effect?" "No. Even if It does It will be coun terncted by tbo encourageuieut. Sick people have queer fancies. One of the queerest pertains to literature. Feed a patient's mind with nothing but short stories and be will certainly get Into his head that he Is going to die so soon that It Isn't worth while to start him on a long one, and be will droop accordingly. But give him only yarns of tbe to-be-contlnued-ln-our-next va rlety and he will take It for granted that you expect him to get well so he can finish the story, and be will perk up amazingly. Just try It." The nurse did try It nnd found that the doctor's theory was built on a sure foundation. New York Times. Lion Signs In England. In the middle ages the country houses of tbe nobility In Knglnnd when the owners were absent were used as hostels for travelers. The family arms always hung In front of the house and gave it a popular name among travelers, who called a lion "gules" or azure simply "ml" or "blue." As these mere intimations of good cheer and entertainment Innkeepers adopted tbe Idea. Lions bare always been and are now very favorite signs In England- lions white, black, red, brown, golden yellow red being tho most common Probably tbe lied Lion originated with tho badge of John of Gaunt, duke of Lancaster, who married tbe daughter of Dou I'edro, king of Leon nnd Cas tile, and who adopted the lion ram pant gules of Leon to represent his claim to the throne. Under Itlchnrd and John lions became the settled arms of England and were generally used by those who could find any claim. Rook and Gull. The rook appears to bare become tbe bird whose name stands for swin dlers in a distinctly nnfalr way, the London Chronicle says. At first "rook" meant a dupe, then tbe verb "to rook" came to mean to cheat, and out of this was evolved "rook," a cheater a complete topsy turry process. It Is curious that the same thing has not happened to "gull." Here also the verb came from tbe substantive mean lng a dupe, and, as the gull strikes one as rather a knowing bird, one might have expected the same evolu tion as In tbe case of tbe rook. It should be observed, however, that "gull." a dupe, did not refer specially to tbe seagull, the word having for merly meant a young bird of any kind. In Elizabethan English It signi fied a callow youngster who wished to be thought smart. Literary Cure For Snoring. To tbe snorers who ask for the cure let the cause be announced. Snoring Is tbe result of stomachic repletion and mental vacuity. A correspondent who has suffered from both prescribes the cure a light supper or none, to avoid repletion, and tbe frequeut repe tition of some literary phrase to pro vide occupation for the mind during sleeping hours. Co to bed and think of some short literary phrase to occu py your mind. The combination of the two prescriptions against snoring the abstention from food and the medita tion upon a liternry phrase may be found In Eccleslasticus, the ninetieth verse of the thirty-first chapter, "Uow sufficient to a well mannered man Is a very little, and be doth not breathe hard upon bis bed." London Specta tor. Dead Men's Teeth. Before artificial teeth were created deficiencies bad to be made good by the real article, so body snatcbers rav aged tbe cemeteries at night, breaking up tbe Jaws of tbe dead to extract tbelr teeth to sell to dentists for Inser tion In live men's mouths. An army of these ghouls followed Wellington's army. They were licensed as sutlers, but once night fell out came their nip pers and they prowled over the battle field extracting the teeth of the dead or dying. Asafetida. Sheep have a fit of joy eating the young asafetida plant, and Persians and other oriental races relish it As much as sheep. Tbe juice of tbe asa fetlda plant when fresh is so strong that a teaipoonful turns out more smell in a bouse tban a hundredweight of drug store asafetida. A 8olemn Ceremony. Tnpa," whispered Johnny, who was in attendance at tbe Sunday morning services, "why do tbe people look so sad when they drop their money In that plate ?"-Chicago Tribune. Safe. Elizabeth had Just committed Marv to prison. "Fear not for vour safetv. dear cousin," she said. "Tbo tower is equipped throughout with the block system." Stanford Chaparral. One Advantage. "So you have adopted a baby to raise," we ask of our friend. "Well, It may turn out all right, but don't you think you ore taking chances?" "Not a. chance," ho answers. "No matter how many bad habits the child may develop, my wife con't say be In herits any of them from my side of the house." Life. The Tie That Binds. "I have a cook now that tools a col lege course In domestic science Inst summer." "You seem enthusiastic, Mabel." "Yes; I find we belong to tho same secret society." Washington Herald. Repartee.

If Ignorance wore onlv bliss the world would be much happier. Mansfield. Had Reason to Go Sllont. An Ingenious young man once took his fiancee to church In a small coun try village, and when tbe time for "collection" came around he rather ostentatiously displayed a sliver dot lar. , fresumlng upon their engage ment, the young woman placed a re stialnlnjj hand upon the arm of her nance. "Don't be so extravagant, George!' she exclaimed. "Oh, that's nothing," he replied. "I always make a point of giving a do! lar when I go to a strange church. Just then tbe deacon came with the plate, and George dropped a coin. Everything seemed favorablo, and the young man beamed with a sense of generosity. Then the minister gave out the notices for the week and con cluded with the wholly unexpected an nouueement of tbe day's collection. "The collection today," said he. "amounted to 05 cents." Georgo hadn't much to say all the way to his fiancee's home. Houston Chronicle. The Origin of Dune. A dunce is named after Duns Scorus, the chief and leader of the schoolmen who were in opposition to what was colled "the new learning" in. the six teenth century. It Is easy to see how readily convertible- tho term would be, Any opponent of tho new learning would be apt to be referred to as a Dunsraan, or. more briefly, ns a Duns, to Indicate that be held the views of which Duns Scorus wns the most em! nent representative. But as tho time went on nnd the new learning triumph ed to call any one a Dunsman or a dunce would be equivalent to describ ing blm not merely ns opposed to a certain set of doctrines, but as inca pable of learning nnd enlightenment It Is certainly hard upon Duns Scotus, as Archbishop Trench has remarked, that he, "the subtle doctor" by pre eminence, the "wittiest of the school divines," as Hooker terms him, should have his name handed down to future ages as a synonym for Invincible stu pldity. A Matter of Breed. 'Them fellers In the office of the Bee are what I call fresh," Deacon Ezra Bullock remarked to his wife at the supper table on his return from his monthly visit to the town of Balston. "How so, father?" Inquired Mrs. Bui lock. "Well," Mr. Bullock snfd, "one o' my errands was from Saba Mabel Brlggs. She wanted I should find out why they hadn't punctuated her last poem. They sent a copy, an' she said It made ber most sick tho way they'd sp'lled her beautiful Ideas. "Well, when I'd got loaded up to come homo 1 drove round to the Bee office nn' comnosln' room sn' beckon ed a young feller In his shirt sleeves to come out " 'Now,' I says, 'you'll do her a favor If you'll tell me why you didn't puueta ate Saba Mabel Briggs' last poem? " 'Cert'nly,' s's be. 'I'm not a point er; I'm a setter.' "Youth's Compaq Ion. Molded by Circumstances. Yoshlo Marklno in McClure's tells the following anecdote of his literal mlndedness: "At the grammar school I used to be lieve all that I was taught But very often I made an awful misunderstand lng. For instance, our renders said: The human nature Is Just like tbe water. If you put the water Into a square vessel the water will become square, and if you put It into a round vessel It will have a round shape. Boys and girls, therefore you must choose your friends. "No sooner than the school hour was over I ran to my neighbor who had a newly born baby. 1 told the mother, 'Don't put your baby in a hard, flat bed; her figure will become flat' " Postgraduate Course.

Preferred to Be a Quack. A quack at n fair near Paris wns driving n roaring trade selling nos trums, drawing teeth and beguiling the crowd in tho nsunl ways, says the British Medical Journal. The letter of tho French law against unqualified practice is very strong, though owing to tho Indifference of the magistrates It Is not strictly carried out. This, however, wns a particularly flagrant case, and the police felt compelled to Intervene. The quack wns therefore accosted by tho guardians of the law, taken to a tent at tbe back of his stand and requested to show his diplo ma. To the stupefaction of the gend armes ho exhibited a perfectly au thentic degree of doctor of medicine of the University of Paris. They were profuse in their apologies, which the doctor cut short with nn urgent en treaty that they should say nothing about what they had seen, "for," he snid, "If the people know thnt I am a qualified doctor I shall have no more customers.
