and sometimes extinguishes the fire of
ambition.’ Though great despite his
complaint Field suffered from indiges-

can’t digest your food. It needs
rest. You can only rest it by the use
of a preparation like Kodol, which re-

HER FRENCH A FAILURE.
The Tragedy of a Blacking Bettie
In the Latin Quarter,
She was spending her first month in
the Latin quarter of Paris. She spoke
English fluently, with a Boston accent;
also she spoke German, could make a
fair stagger at Italian and knew a few
words of Hindoostanee, but of French
not a syllable.
One morning she found herself in a
wrestling match with a bottle of
French shoe blacking. The pesky bot-
tle, understanding that it had to deal
with an alien, refused to give up its
cork. She had no corkscrew of her
own and did not know how to ask for
one, even if she dared suspect that her
next door neighbor might be possessed
of the luxury. The tine of her pet fork
she had bent on the obstinate plug, the
point of her best penknife she had bro-
ken off short, and nothing remained
except to throw the bottle out of a
window to get at its contents. She de-
cided as a last resort to try breaking
the neck off the bottle. With a “stove
lid lifter” she administered several
cautious taps in the region of the jugu-
lar of the obstinate neck.

and the blacking came. All over her

ANIMAL ODDITIES.
Breton sheep are not much larger
than a fair sized hare.
The mandarin duck is one of the most
| beautiful of aquatic birds.
The queen is always at the mercy of
the bees and is a slave instead of a
ruler. :
A beetle one-third the size of a horse
would be able to pull against more
than a dozen horses.
The greyhound, which can cover a
mile in a minute and twenty-eight sec-
onds. is the fastest of quadrupeds.
The giraffe. armadillo and porcupine
have no vocal cords and are therefore
mute. Whales and serpents are also
voiceless.
The glowworm lays eggs which are
themselves luminous. However, the
voung hatched from them are not pos-
sessed of those peculiar properties until
after the first transformation.
To escape from dangers which men-
ace them starfishes commit suicide.
This instinct of self destruction is
found only in the highest and lowest
scales of animal life.
Hebridean Proverbs.
The daily talk of the Hebrideans has
a shrewd picturesqueness. “Let the
loan go laughing home,” they say.
That is, ‘Be careful of whatever you
have borrowed.”
If a person were to be met coldly
on going to a friend's house, he would
say:
“The shore is the same, but the shell-
fish is not the same.”
The impossible is denoted by “black-
berries in midwinter and sea gulls’
eggs in autumn.”
«Better thin kneading than to be
empty.” That is, “Half a loaf is better
than ne bread.”
“Phe man who is idle will put the
cats on the fire.”
“He that does not look before hin
will look behind him.”
“A house without a dog. without a
cat, without a little child, is a house
without pleasure and without laugh-
ter.”
Homes In Italy.
Speaking of homes and ways of liv-
ing, Mr. Luigi Villari in “Italian Life
In Town and Country” reveals a curi-
ous state of affairs. In Italian cities
there are no slum districts. The poor-
ost of the poor may be lodged in the
same palace with people whose income
runs over $25.000 annually. The poor
are packed away in the garrets or in
the cellars, to be sure, and their mis-
ery must be rendered all the more
acute by the sight and scent of such
lavish living, High class Italians have
no objections whatever to dwelling over
a shop or place of business.

*" ALMACK'’S OF LONDON.
A Famous Woman's Club of a Cen-
tury or So Ago.
About a century ago ®e seventh
heaven of the fashionable world of
London was a club known as Almack’'s,
of which the patronesses were Lady
Castlereagh, Lady Jersey, Lady Cow-
per (afterward Lady Palmerston), Lady
Sefton, Mrs. Drummond Burrell (after-
ward Lady Willoughby), the Princess
Esterbazy and the Countess Lieven.
Their smiles or frowns consigned men
and women to happiness or despair. It
is hard for us to conceive the impor-
tance which was attached to getting
admission to Almack’s. Of the 300 offi-
cers of the Foot guards not more than
half a dozen were honored with cards
to this temple of the beau monde. The
government was a pure despotism, as
every government by woman is bound
to be, and a host of intrigues was set
set in motion to get an invitation.
Very often persons of rank who had
the entree anywhere were excluded
from the club. Such as were admitted
had to dress in conformity vith the
edict of the tyrants, no gentleman Be-
ing allowed to appear at the assemblies
except iw knee breeches. white cravat
and crush hat. On one occasion the
Duke cf Wellington was about to
ascend the stairs to the ballroom
dressed in black trousers when the
guardian of the establishment stepped
forward and said, “Your grace cannot
be admitted in trousers,” whereupon
the duke, who had a great respect for
quietly walked away.—New
York Press.
Haas IER,
A Pun That Failed.
At a public dinner a careless waiter
stumbled when bringing in a boiled
tongue. The tongue slipped over the
edge of the dish upon the tablecloth.
“Never mind.” said the chairman
cheerfully, “it's only a lapsus lingu”
(slip of the tongue).
The joke was received with a burst
of laughter. A gentleman present,
who had no knowledge of Latin, yet
saw what boisterous merriment it
caused. secretly determined that he
would repeat the whole performance
at his next little dinner party at home
and give his guests a great laugh at his
wit.
The occasion arrived. There was to
be a leg of mutton, and the host had
instructed the waiter to let it fall when
coming in. The waiter did so, to the
great dismay of the guests.
«Qh. never mind,” cried the host
cheerfully, “it's only a lapsus lingua.”
To his great disgust and astonish-
ment, however, nobody seemed to see
it, and now he is suspicious that some-
thing must have gone wrong some-
where.—Pearson’s.
Appealed to the Powers.
The lute Joseph Medill, editor of the
Chicago Tribune, besides being an in-
defatigable editor, had a decided vein
of humor in his composition.
During the last years of his life, as
his strength permitted, he watched
over his paper as zealously as in his
younger days, and it was his custom to
scan the columns of certain favorite
exchanges and clip from them ex-
tensively, marking them on the wmar-
gins, J. M.—Must,” meaning that the
extracts must go ip. It was one of his
great griefs that there was not aiways
room for all of them. even when col-
amns of live editorial matter had been
crowded out, as they were sometimes,
to make room for them. #
One night Le went up to the room of
{Le night editor with a bundle of clip-
pings in his hand.

cial. with a twinkle in his eye, “I wish
vou would use, your influence to have

A Nourishing Drinl.
The whites of raw eggs are very
nourishing. A good way to prepare the
drink. according to one who knows, is
to break the white into a jar with
what milk is desired and shake the two
thoroughly together. A pinch of salt
should be ndded. An English special-
ist recommends to adult patients suf-
fering from anemic condition the daily
consumption of eight or ten egg whites.
They can he taken clear and with ease
if the eggs are kept very cold. broken
into a cold glass and used at once.
Another excellent drink is made by
beating the white of an egg to a froth
and adding a tablespoonful of rich
cream and a spoonful of brandy. This

It is a notable fact that in Abyssinia
none but those who are related to the
monarch is permitted to wear gold in

PERSISTENT LOVERS.
WOMEN WHO WERE MARRIED
SPITE OF THEMSELVES.
IN
Some Matrimonial Experiences That
Would Seem to Justify Voltaire’s
Cynical Declarstion That “Any Man
Cen Wed Any Woman.”
“Any man can marry any woman,”
Voltaire once cynically declared, “if he
only pursues her long enough.” This,
at any rate, was the experience of Ja-
cob Halliday, a well known character
in the north of England a couple of
gencrations ago.
Never did a lover win a wife under
such discouraging conditions as Jacob,
for after his first proposal he was
soundly horsewhipped by the young
lady's father and ducked in a conven-
ient pond. *
«p11 ask her again next year.” Jacob
spluttered as he emerged from his
bath. the fire of his passion not a whit
quenched by his cold douche. ‘““Regu-
larly once a year. on the anniversary
of Lis first proposal and immersion,”
Nicholson says in his biography of Mr.
Halliday, “Jacob attired himself in his
finest raiment and presented his peti-
tion, always with the same negative re-
cult. When he presented himself, now
a midéle aged man. for the twenty-
fourtu time, the lady greeted his ap-
pearance with a peal of laughter. ‘It’s
ne good, Jacob. I see’ she exclaimed.
‘I may as well give in now as later, but
what a faint hearted creature the im-
portunate widow was compared with
youl’ ” ’
Sheridan took<n equally bold course
when he sought to win the fairest of
the beautiful daughters of Linley, the
composer of Bath, who was strongly
opposed to the suit of the brilliant
young poet and dramatist. His lady-
love. too. was beset by an army of
suitors, many of them far more eligi-
ble than the penniless law student. The
circumstances called for bold and de-
cisive action. After threatening to de-
stroy himself if the lady refused his
advances and fighting a couple of duels
with one of his most formidable rivals
Sheridan took the bold step of running
away with Miss Linley and conducting
her to a French nunnery. where she re-
mained in confinement until, succumb-
ing to her lover's daring and persist-
ence. she consented to marry him.
An amusing and characteristic story
is told of Lord Beaconsfield in the
days when he was wooing Mrs. Lewis.
to whom in later years of married life
he was so touchingly devoted.
One day Mrs. Lewis, who was then
living in retirement at her seat in Gla-
morganshire, saw a gentleman walking
leisurely up the drive. “Jane,” she ex-
claimed to an old servant, “I really be-
lieve that horrid man Disraeli is com-
ing up the drive. Do, please, run to the
door and say I'm not at home.” Jane
cpened the door to the undesired caller
and gravely announced her message.
«1 know,” Disraeli coolly answered,
“but take my bag to a bedroom and
prepare luncheon. 1 will wait until
Mrs. Lewis is ready to come down-
stairs.” which, of course, Mrs. Lewis
felt compelled to do a few minutes
later.
“Qh, dear, what can I do with such
an obstinate, thick skinned man?” the
widow asked desperately later in the
day when Disraeli showed no sign of
raising the siege. “Marry him, I sup-
pose, ma’am,” was Jane's philosophic
answer. and, as the world knows. the
persistent wooer had his way in the
end in this as in most other things in
life. .
A judge, not long deceased. used to
tell a diverting story of his wooing. In
those days he was a struggling and ob-
secure lawyer without even the prospect
of an income, and the woman on whom
he had set his affections was the
daughter of a purse proud man with a
high sounding name who was strongly
opposed to giving his daughter to a
“penniless lawyer.”
“Do you know, sir,” the father thun-
dered when he was asked for his
daughter's hand—*do you know, sir,
that my daughter's ancestors have all
been noblemen and that one of them
was a favorite minister of Queen Eliza-
beth?” “Oh, ves. I know all that.” the
young barrister placidly answered,
“and do you know that Queen Bliza-
beth once slapped your ancestor's face,
and unless you are more civil 1 will do
the same for you?” It is scarcely sur-
prising that so bold and daring a lover
had his way in the end, even in the
face of such a barrier of ghostly noble
ancestors.
The late Prince Bismarck, it is said,
won his wife in much the same way.
Although he had not known the lady of
his love more than a few days and her
parents were not even aware of his ex-
istence, he presented himself one day be-
fore them and boldly asked permission
$0 marry their daughter. In vain the
vather fumed and blustered and threat-
ened to have the young man forcibly
ejected from the house for his imperti-
nence. “I am sorry to annoy you, sir,”
the young soldier said, “but I must re-
spectfully decline to leave the house
until I have your consent.” Nor did he,
although the consent was given in these
ungracious words: “Well, I suppose you
must have your way, but I cannot com-
pliment my daughter on her choice of a
mule for a husband.”
He Feels It.
“Does a draft give you cold chills |

pher.
