Benjamin Franklin was a hearty eat er In the good old days 1 'ore the vending of lightning rods became a profession. When history caught one of her first glimpses of him, he was eating a roll in the street. After he laid the cornerstone of the Pennsyl vania hospital in the happy reign of George 11, be was a frequent visitor in the halls of that institution. His la bors there being arduous, it chanced that he frequently fell hungry at work. He appeared at the hospital gate one day with a big tin box under his arm. Disregarding the gaze of the cu rious, he marched through the cor ridors to the dispensary, brushed aside a few cobwebbed beakers from a shelf and In their place planted the tin box. "What might this be?" queried his friend Dr. Rush. "This," said Ben Franklin, "Is Poor Richard's bread box. Help yourself." The box was filled with penny cakes. When the supply ran out, Bon Frank lin bought more cakes. That was 150 years ago. Since Franklin's time, new hospital buildings have crowded the old out of existence and the hospital has grown to be one of the most noted in the world. Yet an old tin box, much battered and dented, stands on a shelf In the drug room, and it contains cakes and ginger snaps. Whenever the resi dent physicians or nurses visit the room they goto the box, take out a cake and eat. When the cakes are gone, the hospital steward charges the box afresh.—Philadelphia Press. Easy If You Have To. Many stories of President Lincoln might be classified as fiction, although a few of them are. So it is not unnatu ral that this little anecdote, which is better than mobt. should appear in Mr. Irving Bacheiler's novel, "Eben Hoi den." "My son,"-fit"said, taking my hand In his, "why didn't you run?" "Didn't dare," 1 answered. "I knew It was more dangerous to run away than togo forward." "Reminds me of a story," said he, smiling. "Years ago there was a bully In Sangamon county. Ills., that bad the reputation of running faster and fight ing harder than any other man there. Everybody thought he was a terrible fighter. He'd always get a man on the run; then he'd catch up and give him a licking. One day he tackled a lame man. The lame man licked him in a minute. " 'Why didn't ye run?' somebody asked the victor. " 'Didn't darst,' said he. 'Run once when he tackled me, an I've been lame ever since.' "'How did ye manage to lick him?' asked the other. " 'Waal,' said he, 'I hed to, an I done It easy.' "That's the way it goes," said the Im mortal president. "Ye do it easy if ye have to." Am Accomplished Cook. The family had advertised for a cook. The family lived in a west end man sion. Throughout the house there were rich articles of furniture and brie a brae which had been picked up from time to time In the family's wander lngs through Europe and other sections of the globe. Now, it so happens a very wise person applied for a place as queen of the culinary department in this elegant household. "What is your name?" asked the fam ily. "Evangeline, thank you." came in re ply from the dusky applicant. "Evangeline, then, toil me, are you a good cook?" "It's just like this: Y'ou see. 1 can do $lO cooking, sls cooking. S2O cooking, but"— There was undue emphasis on the "but," and Evangeline glanced admir ingly about the house. Evangeline knew her little book well. —"it seems to me." she went on final ly. "you folks wouldn't be satisfied with any other than my $25 kind." The family was quite taken aback, but managed to recover itself in time to say it might strive to get along as a starter with about $17.35 cooking fur a few months, at any rate.—Washington Star.

California," said a western man, "an acquaintance of mine was on a stagecoach that a pair of bandits went through. The 14 pas sengers were all made to get out and stand in a row, with their hands high over their heads. One burly ruffian stood guard over them with a double barreled shotgun, while the other en gaged in the pleasiug task of relieving them of their valuables and spare cash. "My friend was nearest the man with the shotgun. While the ceremo nies were in progress his nose began to itch, and instinctively lie started to one hand to scratch it. 'Hands up, there!' came the steru order, and his hand went automatically back into place. But that itching redoubled, and again he essayed the relieveful scratch. " Say, what's the matter with you, anyhow?' demanded the highwayman. 'Are you wishful to become a lead mine?' 'My nose itches so I can't stand it any longer,' tearfully explain ed my friend. 'I simply have got to scratch it.' 'No, you hain't.' ungram matically corrected the knight of the road, ' 'cause I'll do it for you.' "And with that he proceeded to scratch the offending nasal organ with the muzzle of his shotgun. You can wager your shoes that that particular nose stopped itching with great abrupt ness." I.oiiK Distance Ticket* Wanted. He was long, iftan, lank anil raw boned, and he shambled up to the tick et window at the Union passenger sta tion much after the fashion of a scared canine when he approaches his master to receive a well earned thrashing. He got as far as the outside railing and stood there with a bashful blush gaz ing at the man behind the brass bars. "Come in. come in. Make yourself at home," was the encouraging welcome from within. lie accepted the invita tion and brought up against the marble ] ticket counter with more confidence in his face. "Say, thar," he said in a half whisper to Harry Hansen, "is this the place where you get tickets for the kyarsY" "Yes. Where do you want togo? Hurry up; we're rushed." "Well, sir," he replied, shifting a square inch of plug tobacco from one cheek to the other, "hev you all got enny long distance tickets inter Ken tucky?" His case was equaled by that of the old lady with the sunbonnet who said: "I want a ticket to Platte county." "What place in Platte county?" in quired the ticket man. "No place in Platte county. I want togo to Platte county, and it's none of your business where I'm going to visit. You sell me the ticket to Platte county, and I'll get there."—St. Joseph News. A Cnrlou* Coincidence. The letters "O N" might be supposed to possess a mysterious charm, as they form the termination of many of the most distinguished names in history. No other letters of the alphabet will furnish so remarkable a coincidence as may be found in the following list made up from ancient and modern names: Aaron. Solomon. Agamemnon. Solon, Bion, Pliocion, Bacon, Newton. Johnson, Addison. Criehton, Porson. Buffon, Montfaucon, Tillotson, Fene lon, Massillon, Warburton, Leigliton, Lytton, Walton, Anacreon, Ben Jon son, Milton, Byron, Thomson, Tenny son, Anson, Washington, Napoleon. Wellington, etc. A Greek scholar has called attention to a very curious coincidence about the name of Napoleon. If you take away the first letter of his name, you have "apoleon;" take away the first letter of that word, and you have "poleon;" do this successively down to the last syl lable, and you liave "Icon," "eon" and "on." Put these several words togeth er in this order, Napoleon on oleon leon eon apoleon poleon. and you have a Greek phrase the literal translation of which Is "Napoleon, being the lion of peoples, went about destroying cities." TennyN«»n and Sightseer*. Tennyson's well known aversion to , sightseers aud their ways gave rise to many an odd experience. Once, it is said, lie complained to Queen Victoria, saying that he could no longer stay in the Isle of Wight owing to the tourists who came to stare at him. The queen, with a kindly irony, said that she herself did not suffer much from that grievance. But Tennyson, taking her literally, replied in the same strain. "No, madam." said he,"and if I could clap a sentinel wherever I liked I should not be troubled either." A Resourceful Walter. A very rich but miserly gentleman was in the habit of dining daily at a certain restaurant, but lie never tip ped the waiter who attended to his wants. One day the long suffering waiter asked the gentleman "if he would condescend to accept his (the waiter's) photograph ?'' "What for?" was the query. "I thought it might make you re member the waiter, sir," was the quick reply.—London Tit-Bits. Indefinite.

Bird Intelligence, During a high wind one summer day I young oriole was thrown from its Rest to the ground. It was picked up by kind hands and kept in the home till the storm was over and then placed on the roof of the piazza. A watch was kept behind the c >.scd blinds of a window near by to note proceedings on the part of the parent birds. They in the meantime had seen the little one borne away and had followed it to the house, and, as it was kept near the open window, its cries had apprised them of its whereabouts. They soon came to it on the roof and hovered about it, doing much talking and con sulting together. Finally they alighted near the little one, and the female slipped her wing under it.and seemed to urge some course of acting upon the male, who fidgeted about coming to the little one, spreading his wings over it, then Hy ing to a tree, when the female followed him and brought him back and again slipped a wing under the little one. Finally he seemed to understand or to get his nerve under control, and, slipping his own wing under, together they made a sort of cradle for the bird ling, and. each flapping its free wing, they flew to the tree, bearing it to a place of safety among the branches, where it.was lost sight of. —Boston Christian Register. Treatment For Spi-ninn. The prevalence of sprains and strains owing to the indulgence in athletic exercises of all kinds moves an au thority on the treatment of these pain ful accidents to say: A little common sense treatment is often all that is needed when the strain is at ankle or wrist and without com plications. It will swell very alarming ly at first and gradually develop a frightful looking bruise, but from the first it should have complete rest and a treatment of hot and cold douches, the hot being used at first, when the swelling is painful, and the cold later on, as a sort of tonic to the relaxed muscles. The hot must be very hot and the cold very cold, as the tepid water does harm rather than good. For the first day of a strain, when all the wrenched cartilages and mu« cles are aching, great relief is found in a poultice of egg and salt. To make it. beat the white of an egg till light, but not stiff. Stir in gradually a cup and a half of salt, or more if needed, to make a thick, pastelike icing. Spread this on a cloth and bandage in place. Cover all with oil silk or a thick bath towel to protect the sheets, since the egg leaks out continually. After this has relieved the soreness begin with hot water fomentations and wear a light, firm bandage, except at night. A Fine Disi i net ion. A young down town drug clerk who had heard the story of the colored wo man who had asked for flesh colored court plaster and was given black by the observant dealer stored the inci dent away in his mental dust box and decided to use it at the first opportu nity. He had not long to wait, for a few nights ago a comely colored girl stepped into the store where lie was employed. "Ah wants some cou't plas ter." she said. "What color?" inquired the clerl* with affected nonchalance. "Flesh cullali. sail." Trembling in his shoes and keeping within easy reach of a heavy pestle, the clerk handed the woman a box of black court plaster, and he was sur prised at the time that the situation af forded so little humor. The woman opened the box with a deliberation that was ominous, but she was unruffled when she noted the color of the con tents. "Ah guess yo' runs' a-misunderstood mail ordah. Ah asked fob flesh cullah, and yo' done give me skin cullah." The drug clerk is still a little dazed from the encounter, and he has firmly resolved to subject every joke to rigid laboratory test hereafter before using. —Pittsburg News. Ilia Dim Idea.

Wouldn't Sell the House. The house in which Joan of Arc was born is still faithfully preserved in pious veneration at Domremy, where it is looked upon almost in the light of a shrine. I'assersby invariably cross themselves and utter a prayer for pro tection as they go by. The story goes that a rich and eccen tric Englishman tried hard to buy the place in 1837. It was at that time the property of a farmer named Girardin. The Englishmen offered to let him | name Ins own price, but the old man j held firm. "No, no, no," he cried. "I | would not sell it even to a Frenchman, ' much less to a foreigner and especially | an Englishman. People here would call j me a traitor and a coward were I to \ part with the house from which Joan j of Arc set out to serve France." The Englishman convinced himself | that further bargaining was useless ! and went his way. Soon after an officer from the king's household arrived in the village and asked to speak with Girardin. Before the whole village, assembled in the ; street, he said: "Girardin, the king has learned that you have refused to sell I your house to an Englishman. He de sires to reward you, but not in coin. He knows that you no more want the money of the French than of the Eng lish, therefore has lie commanded me to present you with the cross of the Le gion of Honor." I*l us. Queen Catheriti? obtained pins from France, and.in 15415, an act was pass ed: "That no person shall put to sale any pinne.s but only such as shall be , double headed and have the heads sold i ered fa i to the shank of the pinnes, well ■ ithed, the shank well sliapen, the points well round filed, eauted and sharpened." At this time most pins were made of brass, but many were also made of j iron, with a brass surface. France sent a large number of pins to England until about the year 1C.20. In this year one John Tilsby started piniiKiking in Gloucestershire. So suc cessful was his venture that he soon had 3."<1 I persons working. These pins made at Stroud were held in high re pute.

If a Filipino enters the house of a European living in an unassuming way, he will not believe that the Eu ropean Is either wealthy or wise, and, although Ids manner may be correct, it will not be humble. On the other hand, if he visits an ignorant man who indulges in great splendor, lie will at once become exceedingly respectful. Mr. Phelps Whitmarsh, who in The Outlook gives his experiences in the Islands, tells the story of a wealthy provincial visiting Manila for the first time, who asked to be presented to the governor general. ! When he reached the palace, be found the governor taking coffee on his piazza, dressed comfortably in a white cotton suit. The Filipino re s quested that some favor be extended i to his district, and his request was ; granted. He then withdrew. The offi- I cial who had procured the presenta \ tion asked him what he thought of the j general. I "Why," replied the visitor in a tone of disappointment, "he is no different ' from any other white man." ! It so happened that the general was I told of the incident, and he gave or ders that at his next reception the i Fi'"pino slioald be present, j Upon entering the throneroom and i seeing the general in full uniform, j surrounded by his brilliant staff, with the accessories of splendid tapestries, laced ushers and all the pomp and | splendor of these Spanish functions, the provincial grew pale and, kneeling in deep humility, exclaimed: "This Is indeed my general!" So impressed was he that the fol ! lowing morning he sent a pair of hand some horses to the general with a note which read: "My general, yesterday I liked you so much in your uniform of gold that I send you this pair of horses, but do not use them when you dress in a white suit." Mirror Mad. "What!" exclaims the astonished reader, "is It possible that there are any civilized persons on the face of the earth who are not in the habit of be holding their visages reflected from time to time in a mirror of some kind? Surely this cannot be so." Wrong, quite wrong, gentle reader, for at the present time, strange as it may pear, there are hundreds of men and women in the United Kingdom who have not gazed into a mirror for years. The convicts confined in British pris ons form members of this community. From the moment of a convict's en trance to a jail to the moment of his exit he is not permitted to have the use of a mirror of any kind, the small est piece of glass being rigidly denied him. To the women convicts this ab sence of a mirror forms one of the chief hardships of confinement, and many a female warder can tell piteous tales of women who have actually fall en upon their knees and sobbed out entreaties for the loan of a morsel of mirror—"just for a second." All these entreaties have perforce to be disre garded, and it therefore comes about ( that many a female convict passes three or four years without being per mitted to gaze upon her own features. —London Tit-Bits. lie Got a I'aas. "Halt!" cried an alert patrolman in Manila as a beautifully caparisoned ' carriage drove up containing a portly gentleman. The driver reined his steeds, and the sentry, standing firmly in the center of the street, shouted, "Who is there?" Not knowing what else to say, the occupant of the carriage answered, "Judge Taft, president of the civil commission." "Advance, Judge Taft, to be recog nized," bawled the sentry. The judge advanced, and the following dialogue took place: Sentry—Have you a pass? Taft—No, sir; do I require one? Sentry—You do, sir, and it's my duty to run you in.
