Ill the "Memories of n Hospital Ma
tron" n writer in the Atlantic .Monthly,
who wt head of it Confederate hos
pital ihirlug the war, relates this ex
citing Incident:
"Our steward, n meek little man,
enme to me one day, pale with fright,
uliil said that the convalescents lmil
stunned the bakery, taken ont the tinlf
cooked bread nncl scattered It about
the yard. I, eaten the baker and threat
enrd to hung the steward. 1 hurried
to the scene to throw myself Into the
breach liefore the surgeon slionld ar
rive with the unnril and arrest the of
fenders. I found the new bakery lev
eled to the ground and 2(H) excited
men clittnnriiiK for the bread which,
tlv declared, the steward withheld
from them from meanness or stole for
Ills own benellt.
"'And what do .von say of the ma
lion?' I asked, rushing among them.
'Do you think that she, through whoso
hands the bread must pass. Is n party
to the theft? lo yon accuse me, who
!iave nursed yon through 'mouths of
I'lness. making you chicken soup when
we had not seen a chicken for a year,
forcing an old breastbone to do duty
for months for those unreasonable fel
lows who wanted to see the chicken;
me. who K-'i'e you a greater variety In
pens than wms ever known before and
who lately stewed your rats when the
cook vrfi.wd t i touch them? . And this
Is your f!i'at'ilr.ile! You teyr down my
bakehouse. I eat my hnkit' and want
to Iiuuk my steward!'
''To my surprise the angry men
laughed mid chm-rod. A few days later
there came to me a 'committee' of
two sli.-cplsli looklim fellows to ask
my acceptance of a rlriu. Kach of the
poor men . had subscribed something
from his pittance, and their old ene
my, the steward, had been sent to town
to make the purchase. Accompanying
the ring was a bit of dirty paper on
which was written. 'I'or our chief ma
tron. In hoijir of her brave conduct on
the day of the bread riot.' "
THE COOKBOOK.
To prevent eggs from cracking when
they are boiling, place a pin In the
saucepan.
If you fret too much salt In the gravy,
u pinch of brown fiugni' will remedy the
witness without hurting the gravy in
the least.
When onions are of too strong flavor
to be pleasant for sauce, boil a turnip
with them, but remove it before using
the onions. '
Never fry mere than six oyster nt
once unless you have a very large ket
tle of fat. If more are cooked, they will
soak grease and take a long time to
brown.
Don't forget that ' mincemeat la a
great deal better to be made a week or
ten days before It Is to be used. The
' gplcea and cider, etc., have thus time to
percolate the upple and meat.
I'ennut salad ds an excellent accom
paniment for roast duck. Soak a cupful
of peanut meats In olive oil, drain and
mix lightly with two cupfuls of finely
cut celery and a dozen pitted olives.
Serve with mayonnaise dressing on let
tuce leaves.
Pica For the Woodea Shoa,
"Wo have wisely tuken to wearing
sandals,", says a Philadelphia physi
cian. "I hope that before long we will
learn the advantage of the wooden
shoe, or sabot. Do you know that a
great many diseases are due to leather
shoes, due to the wearing all day long
of tight leather that Is often. In bad
weather, water soaked? And do you
know thot by the wearing of wooden
shoes, which keep the feet dry and
which do not 'draw,' all those diseases
. might be avoided? I have several
pairs of sabots, and so have my wife
and culldivn. 'They cost about 30
cents a pair and keep the feet dry,
without cramping them or making
them unhealthily tender. I believe that
the wisest thing Americans could do
would be to take up the sandal and
the. sabot, discarding altogether the
shoe of leather."

BACON AND SHAKESPEARE.
The Tat Men Separately and the
Tai la Ona Delna;.
Aristotle was an extraordinary man.
IMato was an extraordinary man. Tlint
two men each severally so extraordi
nary should have been living at the
same time In the same place was a
very extraordinary thing. But would
It diminish the wonder to suppose the
two to, be one? Bo I say of Itacon and
Shakespeare. That a human being pos
sessed of the focultles liecessnry to
make a Shakespeare should exist Is
extraordinary. That a human being
possessed of tin necessary faculties to
make Itacon shoutaY exist Is extraor
dinary. That two such human beings
should have been living In London at
the samo time was more extraordinary
still. Hut that one man should have
existed possessing the faculties and
opportunities necessary to make both
wonld have been the most extraordi
nary thing of nil.
Great writers, especially being con
temporary, have many features In com
mou, but If they are really great writ
ers they write naturally, and nature Is
nlwnys tfVivldunl. I doubt whether
there arellve Hues together to be found
In Itacon which could be mistaken for
Shakespeare or Ave lines In Shake
speare which could be mistaken for
Riieon by one who was familiar wltb
their several styles and practiced In
such observations. James Speddlng's

Every human being carries with him
from bis cradle to his grave certain
physical marks which do not change
their character and by which be can
always be Identified, and that without
shade of doubt or qucstiou. These
marks are his signature, bis physiolog
ical autograph, so to spcuk, and this
autograph cannot bo counterfeited, nor
can he disguise it or bide It away, nor
can it become Illegible by the wear aud
the mutations of time.
This autograph consists of the deli
cate lines or corrugations wltb which
nature marks the lnsldes of the hands
and the soles of the feet. If you will
look nt the balls of your fingers, you
that have very sharp eyesight, you will
observe that these dainty curving lines
lie close together, like those that Indi
cate the borders of oceans in maps, and
that they form various clearly defined
patterns, such as arches, circles, long
curves, whorls and so forth, and that
these patterns differ on the different
Angers. "I'udd'nhead Wilson."
fttrnnu Vmmu For Mirrors.
The celebrated Ileau Brummel dur
ing the first years of his exile, whlla
yet bis fame as a dandy was pre-eminent,
hud the ceiling of his bedroom
covered with mirrors so that even while
at rest he could study elegunce and as
sume a graceful pose. For such a pur
pose a glass celllug Is, however, not
unique, and the notorious Duchess of
Cleveland had such another construct
ed to grutlfy her vanity.
For a far different reason a certain
Yorkshire gentleman of the last cen
tury had his celling paneled wltb mir
rors. Ardently devoted to the sport of
cocktlghting, he continued to the -last
to enjoy his favorite pastime and even
when on his deathbed his room was the
scene of many an exciting fight, which,
lying on bis back, he saw reflected lu
the glass overhead.
A Tender Hnaband.
In connection wltb a slight affec
tion of Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant's eyes a
very pretty story Is told lndlcutlve of
General Grant's tender devotion to ber.
When he was president, she became
somewhat sensitive about her eyes
she suffered from strabismus and con
sulted a specialist to see what could be
doue for ber. The specialist told her
be thought he could Improve ber eyes,
but the operation would be pulnful.
She consulted her huBband to learn
whether be would advise the operation.
"Don't have It done, dear," suld the
general, pressing ber cheeks with bis
two bunds. "Let those dear eyes stay
Just as tbey are. If they were changed,
I might not recognize my sweetheart."
Distance Traveled by Odors.
As an Illustration of the distance
odors are carried it Is noteworthy that
the fumes and exhalations from the
sulphur springs of Colorado can be dis
tinguished at a distance of fully twenty
miles. The delicious perfume of the
forests of Ceylon Is carried by the
wind twenty-live miles out to sea, while
In foggy weather travelers 100 miles
from the laud have recognized their
proximity to the coast of Colombia by
the sweet smell brought them on a
breeze from the shore.

Not "little wolf," as the Ignorant
thluk, Is the significance of wolverene,
but something of greater dignity an
etnlxidlmeut of tha terrible spirit of the
wild fire of the prehistoric forests.
Wonderful In Its strength and courage,
a tree climber on occasion, not Immense
of slse, but with limbs and claws great,
out of all proportion to Its size, with a
muzzle almost bogltke, but with great
white fangs, the beast had still an
element of the grotesque In Its makeup,
with Its sweeping, bushy tall and the
broad bands of yellow white upon Its
back and Shoulders. Woe to the small
er beast or the deer upon which It
dropped from some great low hanging
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 bltn from
his heritage. So enduring was be, so
desperately courageous, that bis name
became a fynonym for pluck and
prowess, and proudly the people of
Michigan accept the nickname which
has been given to him. Outing.
What' la a Well Dressed Ilonaef
"What In theatrical parlance Is a well
dressed house?" said 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 a well dressed house to
night, sir.' I supposed ho 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 I asked him what he had
meant. He answered: 'I meant that
the house bad been seated by the box
otilce man very cleverly, so that It bal
anced well, and so tlint the fact that It
was not small was not perceptible. To
dress a bouse Is to distribute an audi
ence all over It so It looks full when It
Is, as a matter of fact, fur from being
so. Thcro are here enough people to
fill about the first seven rows of the
orchestra, but the house Is well dress
ed, and on looking at It you have the
Impression that It Is fairly well filled.
Every ticket seller should see to It that
his house Is dressed properly. That Is
why you- so often full to get seated as
far up front as you would like.' "-i-rbll-adelphla

Why Sliakeapeare Endures.
What Interests us lu Shakespeare's
plays Is not the plays themselves, but
the (strictly Irrelevant) truth and beau
ty that be poured Into them. We love
them for their matchless poetry and
their matchless ItiBlght Into the human
soul. "Hamlet" Is for us nothing but
the study of a contemplative man dis
tracted by tho necessity to be up and
doing, "Macbeth" the study of a noblo
mind degraded by ambition, "The Mer
chant of Venice" the study of racial
strength against cou tempt and persecu
tion. Nothing to us now tho actual
framework of these studies; everything
tho studies themselves and the lan
guage In which they are set forth. Our
pleasure lu the production of a Shake
spearean play is uccordlng solely to the
Illuminative Tightness of the conception
of the chief character or characters and
to the sonorous beauty wltb which the
verse Is declaimed by alL Suturday

The teacher of any lund may be over

simonious policy of the powers and be
underpaid even in our own enlightened
country, but in few countries, certain

truthfully told:
In the streets of a Spaulsb city, says
tho author of "The Land of the Dons,"
a police ollloer stumbled on the corpse
of a rugged und emaciated pauper. In
making out his report be asked what
he should enter us the dead man's pro
fession. "What did he die of?" asked tho mag
istrate. "Starvation," replied the policeman.
"Put him down as a schoolmaster,"
replied the magistrate.

Those who crab for mnrket on the
Choptnnk river, Maryland, have an In

of a clothesline several hundred feet
long Is kept coiled In a keg. At Inter
vals of two feet along the entire length
of the rope the fisherman has untwisted

of the strand holds them tightly In

buoy attached, together with a heavy

usually on oyster beds, be throws a keg
overboard and pays out n highly scent

end Is reached, he anchors it with an
other stone and throws out another

a few minutes, then takes bis stand on

. "Ilolnc" r.urnpe In Ynnr Mind.
According to n Cairo contemporary,
persons who wish to let their friends
know that they are "doing" Europe on
a princely scale the while they are liv
ing In retirement for n time need only
apply to an agency In Paris, which will
undertake, to send your letters to prac
tically any place In .Europe you may se
lect and there to have them posted for
you on any date yot may choose. The
demnnd for such an institution arose
out of the absoliito horror the Parisian
of "high life" has of being suspected of
remaining In Paris or its environs In
the bathing sen sou. One fcaturo of the
Joke is that you can not only get your
letters posted from some distant spot,
but you can get unawers received for
you and ropustod to your temporary bid
ing place. There nro great possibilities
for American travelers In this. Why
not stay lu America aud "do" Europe?

An enterprising Insurance agent In

Mala Blushers.
One of the most ill founded of all
popular delusions Is that blushing is
the special characteristic of the female
sex. As a matter of fact, except lb tho
case of very young girls, men blush far
moro readily than women. The well
bred woman never blushes at all, whllo
It Is p mutter of everyday experience
tbat In the excitement of business or
political discussions men's cheeks red
den with very little provocation. What
ever may have been the case a hun
dred years ago, the modern woman
shows ber emotion Dot by blushing, but
by turning pale. London Tatler,

Dos and Cata Spoiled fef Appetite
For tiaaataral Tidbits.
Possibly the dog world might afford
better specimen of a living skeleton
than one In the kennel next to the
door of a boarding plnce for animals,
but It would take a day's journey to
find him.
"What's makes him so thin?" was
asked of the attendant
"He won't eat," wns the reply "that
Is, he won't eat hospital food. He's
been spoiled. Ixts of dogs and cats
thnt are brought here have been spoil
ed. Their owners think It Is a sign of
high breeding to cultivate an appetite
for a peculiar and unnatural diet
They train animals to eat all kinds of
food that they would never touch of
their own volition. This emaciated fel
low has been taught to like fruit. He Is
particularly fund of pears; but, In case
he can't get them, peaches, apples and
bananas are a fairly satisfactory sub
stitute. Unfortunately, his present ali
ment makes a fruit diet extremely
dangerous, and since he Is deprived of
his favorite food he is literally starv
ing himself to death."
The attendant passed on to a neigh
boring cage and poked his finger spor
tively Into the side of a lnrge gray cat
that "meowed" plaintively In response
to bis cheery "Hello, there, Ca!sar!"
The cat had such a healthy, whole
some appearance that the visitor In
quired what meat he was fed upon.
"Humph!" said the attendant "You've
missed It there. He doesn't feed upon
meat He's a vegetarian. lie likes
onions better than anything else, un
less It's melons. A good many cats
like melons, and most of them are also
partial to raw asparagus. The fact Is
you might run through a list of all tho
dishes that find a place on any up to
date menu and you will find that some
of oiir pntlents have acquired a tasto
for them. This epicurean appetite may
denote aristocratic tendencies on tho
part of my boarders, but I don't ap
prove of It. Most of these acquired
tastes are a perversion of the natural
animal appetite, and It Is likely to
prove harmful In the end. The trick
Is pretty expensive for us fellows that
run cat and dog boarding bouses, and
I'd like to put a stop to It" New York

Cata of Ancient Es-rpt.
By some persons the popularity of
the cat In Egypt has been attributed
to the fact that the animal was vain
able In ridding the palaces of rats and
mice and also In bunting fowls. There
are several paintings In the British
museum, executed by ancient Egyp
tian artists, representing Egyptian
sportsmou in boats on the river Nile,
accompanied by large cats, sitting on
tbelr haunches In the stern. Other
pictures show the cats swimming wltb
birds In their mouths after tho manner
of retriever dogs. These pictures have
greatly perplexed modern naturalists
because the cat of today bas a strong
aversion to water, and It Is difficult to
reconcile such different traits even aft
er the lapse of thousands of years.
Food Wa Ought to Bat.
It has been said that a man should
be In very good health If he takes no
more than three different kinds of food
at any one meal. It should be served
as nearly as possible In Its simple
state. More food la required on a
damp, raw, cold day than on a cheer
ful, dry one.
As a rule, It Is safe to assume tha
what we crave for Is best for us,
though In cases of Illness this point
should not be strictly adhered to.
Men require a good deal more food
than women; those who work bard
more than those who lead a sedentary
Ufo; those who are growing more then
those who have reached maturity.

Ex proas tells how, at 0 o'clock In the
morning of the wedding day, a post
office messenger rang the bell at the
home of the bride to be aud handed out
a special delivery letter.
It was addressed to the best man
who had come forty miles to second his
best friend In the ceremonv, and was,
with several others, the jfaest of the
bride's parents. The bust man was
still sound asleep, but be Was promptly
awakened on the supposition that the
letter must contain something of Impor
tance. It did, Ini'eed. Rubbing bis eyes In
an effort to understand, he tore open
the envelope and was astonished to
find a sheet of letter paper, with a large
needle of the sort men always choose
when emergency compels them to sew
thrust, through It and a foot of black
thread doubled and trailing In loose
tangle down the page.
The best man thought It was a Joke,
but be could not see it and be was
about to become resentful when. Upon
turning the sheet, be found this hastily
written note:
Dar nrothrr Mother says thera Is a
button oft your dress coat It Is In your
waistcoat, right hand pocket Sew It on.
Crawling out of bed, the best man ex
amined bis coat and laughed to see that
the situation bad been accurately de
scribed In the letter. "Just like moth
er," be said. ' "She has probably lost a
whole night's sleep thinking about that
button."
Later In the day four bridesmaids
gleefully assisted In making the repairs,
and this telegram went to mother:

THE NUQQAR TANK. '

One of the Innumerable curious sights
of India Is the Nuggar tank of Ku ra
dii. In former times the crocodiles
which Inhabit it roamed the neighbor
hood at their will, seeking whom they
might devour, but so great were their
depredations that the authorities were
forced to build a wall round their
haunt This Is a swamp, caused by
hot springs, the medicinal virtues of
which have been known from early
times and are attributed to the sanctity
of a Mohammedan whose tomb Is close
by and to whom the crocodiles are sa
cred. The tank, as It Is called. Is about 150
yards long by about half that dis
tance in breadth. In this space one
observer counted over 200 reptiles from '
eight to fifteen feet long and smaller
ones Innumerable. They are so tame,
In a sense, that It Is necessary to poke
them wltb a stick before they will
move.

by me as tho most loathsome spot I
ever beheld." Chambers' Journal.
