Poor Richard's Bread Box.
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

"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

It Wis* Scratched.
"Years ago i:. 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

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,

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 very rich but miserly gentleman

waiter's) photograph ?''
"What for?" was the query.
"I thought it might make you re

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

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.

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."

Clothes and the Man.
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.

"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.
Taft—But I am the civil governor of
the Philippine Islands.
Sentry—That doesn't cut any figure.
You're a civilian and out after hours.
I I'll let you ro by this time, but the next j
time I catch you you'll have to see the
captain."
"Thank you," murmured Judge Taft '
as he drove away. And there and then I
he formed a resolution to putin an j
application for a pass. According to I
i the Manila Freedom, he got it.

An advertisement recently published '
in a newspaper In Ireland set forth
that "Michael Hyan begs to inform the
public that he has a large stock of
cars, wagonettes, brakes, hearses and j
other pleasure vehicles for sale or I
hire."
This is the same paper which, in a 1
glowing description of a funeral, an
j nounced that "Mrs. B. of G sent a
magnificent wreath of artificial flowers
in the form of a cross."
Hln Pointed Remark.
"I frequently hear you say that mon
ey talks," she remarked.
"Yes: it is an old saying and a true
one," he replied: "but, unfortunately,
while money talks, all that talks is not
money."
"Why do you say 'unfortunately?'"
she asked.
"Because If that were so," he an
swered, "I would be married to a fab
ulous fortune."—London Fun.
The Equinoxes.
The equinoctial storms are no longer
believed in by scientific persons. The
equinoxes are the dates of the year
when the 6un crosses the equator at
one of the equinoctial points. They oc
cur about March 21 and Sept. 21. and.
though storms have been known to oc
cur about those times, they are no
longer considered as due to the per
fectly natural occurrence of the cross
ing.
A I.ueld Decision.
A correspondent, referring to a recent
article in Law Notes on"The Gram
mar of the Courts," calls attention to
the following lucid decision of Sir
John Taylor Coleridge in the case of
Turley against Thomas, 8 C. and P.
Kill, .'{4 E. C. L. 312: "It has been sug
gested as a doubt by the learned coun
sel for the defendant whether the rule
of the road applies to saddle horses or
only to carriages. Now I have no doubt
that it does."— Law Notes.
Baffled.
"There's no use," said Mr. Cumrox.
"I ain't going to try to superintend the
education of my daughters any more."
"Why not?"
"They're getting along where I can't
follow 'em. I hear 'em chattering
sometimes, and I can't tell whether
they are reciting their Latin lessons or
'counting out' for a game of hide and ■
seek."—Washington Star.
