Dryden.
Wright. In his "Domestic Mnntu-rs of
the MUlille Ages," suys: "Om- of tlio
great objects of ostentation In a rich
man's house was his plate, which nt
dinner time he brought forth inul
spread on the table In sight of his
guests. Afterward, to exhibit the plate
to more advantage, the table was mailo
With shelves or steps, oil which the dil'-
ferent articles could be arranged In
rows, one above another. It was i-nlled :
In French, or AiiKlo-Norinnn, a dres
solr, beentiso on It the different articles
were dresses, or arranged."
It Is this to which the modern poet
refers:
The pewter plates nn the dresser

LIVING SILVER.
Vtt Proeess by Wlilrtt Mercnry- Is
Kxtraeted From Cinnabar.
The chief seouree of mercury is Its
nntive sulphide, cinnabar. The most
Importnnt mines of this mineral In Ku
ropo are those of Almailen, In Spain,
and Idrla, In Illy r la; In America, those
of New Almailen, In California.
The silvery metal Is obtained by
roasting the ores In specially construct
ed open furnaces, where, by the ac
tion of atmospheric air alone, the sul
phur Is converted Into sulphurous itcM
and passes on with the volatilize 1
mercury Into condensers. These are
usually masonry chambers, with wa
ter cooled pipes, from which tho fumes
pans on through earthenware pipes
and finally through others of wood
and glass.
Most of the yield Is liquid mercury,
combined with soot, which Is removed
by agltnting the mixture in receptacles
of perforated Iron, when the. mercury
falls through. The quicksilver is dual

THE WORD BOGUS.
Tltr-re Are- Several l'laasllilv The--nrlrs
as to Ita Ortaln.
Tho word "Iiorus" Is said by I)r. OkII
Vlo to be derived from Itunliune, tlio
name of 11 notorious Amerlt-nn swindler
who nbout the year 18:!B flooded the
western nnd southwestern states with
counterfeit IiUIh, sliiiin mortKiiKes nnd
such like. Others connect the word
with "IiokIo," a scarecrow or Khlln,
nnd so applied to unythiiiK fictitious or
chimerical.
Lowell In tho "Bltttow Tapers" says.
"I more than suspect the word to be
n corruption of the Fre.ich batrnsso."
This baKiisxe was the Kttitnr cane ns

In l-'rench iit-pit, or thieves' slaiitf. it
word, boKiio, which slmillles the rind of

An Knst Trnssla Cnntnm.
Midsummer day, or St. John the Bap
tist's day. Is a festival of much Impor
tance among the Masur peasant girls
In fast l'russln. On this day they each
make n wrenth, nnd each In turn tries
to throw her wrenth so as to lodge It
on n fruit tree. A girl must keep on
throwing until her wrenth stays In the
brant-lies, and the number of attempts
Is supposed to Indicate the number of
yenrs she will have to wait to get mar
ried. When the girls are thus engaged
the young men of the Tillage stand
around chairing them when they miss.
The girl who lands her wreath nt the
first attempt Is vehemently applauded.

Tlita Is the advice of a doctor who
does not believe In the old medico!
policy r.f mystery, but who undertakes
philosophically to explain to any pa
tient why such end such a remedy
should be beneficial, says the Phila
delphia Telegraph.
"When you are 'let down,' " contin
ued this physician, "don't take a cock
tail j Just breathe. Tut your finger
on your pulse and get Its rhythm. Dur
ing olght busts draw In the breath,
breathing deep and low and forcing the
diaphragm down first, then filling the
upper lungs. Then exhale this breath
during four beats of tho pulse.
"Now, If you are working with a
piece of machinery, say a typewriter,
what do you do to make It run more
smoothly? You don't put a lot more
oil on It and gum and clog It all up.
You clean It first. You can best clean
the blood by breathing. The blood
pusses through the lungs, and It needs
and expects to tl'nd pleuty of fresh air
with oxygen In it. If it can't find per
fectly fresh nlr It needs more air which
Is not perfectly frosts. It needs to be
cleaned by contact with the nlr.
"Once In awhile bold the lungs full
of breath ns long as you can without
expulsion. In doing this you are sim
ply cleaning the machine. You are
clennlng the blood. At the same time
you ure giving that little fillip to the
action of the henrt and the nervous
ystem which you thought you were
giving when you took the cocktail. In
the Intter case you didn't clean the ma
chine. You simply ran It a little faster
and gummed It up a little more. You
can get the same results, the same
fooling of exhilaration and of accom
plishment, without taking the cock
tall, 11 ml at the same time the machine
will steadily Improve In Ita running
quultty. Breathe the best air you can
get and pleuty of It It Is as necessary
aa food. The heart and lungs act In
voluntarily. In hurried business Ufa
they become too Involuntary. In
that case don't take a cocktail; just
breathe."

"Why don't you ever want to go to
a wedding?" anapped Mrs. Enpeck.
"I don't believe you've been to a wed

WHEN STAMPS WERE NEW.
froalile In Orttlnn- People to Slick
Them on the Envelope.
"When postage stumps first enmo In
to use," said, a veteran postal clerk,
"the public didn't know how to handle
them. You remember how, when tea
and coffee first appeared among us, the
people fried the ten leaves nnd the cof
fee berries nnd served them with salt
and pepper? Well, the people treated
their stumps ns absurdly In ls.4.
"Home folks would put tho stamps In
side tlu-lr letters, out of sight. Here
Is the olllcinl notice that we Issued to
top that practice."
The clurk took from the drawer an
aged bulletin that said:
"The stamps upon nil letters and
packages must be ulllxed on the out
side thereof and above the address
thereon."
He put back this bulletin and drew
forth Buothcr one.
"People would pin the stamps on
their letters instead of gumming them,"
he Haiti, "and when they did gum them
they would not do It right; hence this
second bulletin," and be rend:
"'Persons posting letters should af
fix the requisite number of stumps pre
vious to depositing them In tho letter
receivers, ns ubeu posted In n damp
stute the stumps are lluble to rub off
and thereby cause the letters to be
treated as uupnld. Do not pin on the
stumps.'
"Btlll," snid the clerk, "the public
didn't understand. Think of It it
didn't tiiului-staud the simple matter of
sticking n postuge stamp on a letter.
So we got out a third bulletin."
The third bulletin. In big, Impatient
lettors, said:
"The simplest and most effectual
method of cnuslng stamps to adhere
firmly Is first to moisten well the out
side, of the stumps and afterward the
gummed side slightly, taking care nut
to remove the gum."

COTTON SPINNING.
The Scheme b Which Workman
Kepi Ills Bobbins Clean.
The father of the famous Sir Hubert
Peol was a cotton spinner iu a com
paratively small way until be sudden
ly went strulglit ahead of ull his com
petitors. The curliest cotton spinning
machinery gu'vo serious trouble
through tllameuts of cotton adhering
to the bobbins, thus Involving frequent
Stoppages to clear the machinery. Tlio
wugps of tho operatives were affected
by these delays, but It was noticed that
ouo mun iu tho works ulwnys drew full
pay. Ills loom never stopped.
"The onlooker tells mc your bobbins
are always clean," said Mr. l'eel to
blm one day.
"Aye, they be," said tho mun, whoso
name was lth-k rergusou.
"How do you mauuKC It, Dick?"
"Why, you sec, Mestcr l'eel, It's sort
o' secrut! If I towd yo yo'd bo as
wise as I am."
"That's ho," said Peel, smiling In
response to Dick's knowing chuckle,
"I'd give you something to know.
Could you luiiUo ull the looms work ua
smoothly us yours?"
"Ivery ono of 'cm, mestcr!"
"Well, what shall I give you for your
secret, Dick?"
The ninu smiled and rubbed his chin.
"Well, Dick, what Is it to be?"
"Come, I'll tell thee," wus the re
ply. "Ur 1110 a qunrt of ule lvcry day
as I'm In the mills and I'll tell thee
all about It."
"Agrcod," snld the mastor.
"Well, then," returned Dick, beckon
ing Mr. Peel to come closer and let him
whisper In bis ear, "chalk your bob
bins!" That was the entire secret. Ma
chinery was soon invented for chalk
lug the bobbins, and Dick Ferguson
was given a pension equul to muuy

Old Time Remedies,
Strange ns It may seem to some, the
Ingredients of the witches' caldron In
"Macbeth," nt least a part of them,
were once standard remedies among
Europeans. In the tenth and eleventh
centuries a sovereign cure for ague
was the swallowing of a small toad
that hud been choken to death on St
John's eve, nnd a splendid remedy for
rhouinutism was to fasten the bands
of clothing with pins that had been
tuck Into the flesh of either a toad or
a frog. Physicians frequently recom
mended the water from a toad's brain
for mentnl affections und that a lire
toad be rubbed over the discused parts
as a cure for the quinsy.
