DR. JOHNSON.
He Never Said a Word About Talcing a
Walk Down Fleet Street.
The wit and wisdom of that great
man lr. Johnson were of the sledge
hammer order and Invariably pr"ce:lod
by "sir," so that it is comparatively
easy for any one who has ncipilred I lie
trick to Invent a retort or remark In
the Johnsonian style. One of the most
effective of these pseudo sayings of
the doctor Is, "And now. sir." said
Dr. Johnson, "we will take n walk
down Fleet street." There can le but
little doubt that Dr. Johnson did make
this remark, for he was always wall:
lng down Meet street, but It is inn
recorded that he did so. The saying Is
due to George Augustus Sala. wh;
when the magazine Temple Par was
being started by Mr Maxwell liiing
Ined a quotation from tins well as a
motto for the venture. The thing was
intended as n Joke, but for a h-ng
while It was absolutely believed to be
a quotation from llnswell. nnd per
haps there are still some who would
say unhesitatingly that Dr. Johnson
did Ray the words, so seemingly au
thentic are they However. Sala blm
self always acknowledged that be In
vented the phrase and added that to
the best of his knowledge nnd belief
Dr. Johnson bad never said a word
about taking a walk down Fleet
street. There are other legends about
Johnson, however, which it Is not so
easy to kill. London Globe
Salt ns a Medicine.
I have In the past seven or eight
years found the advantage of putting
a little salt In all the water 1 drink. I
nlso put a little salt, with sugar and

I have beeu a resident In the trop
ics for over forty years and except
for a sprained, unkle have not had oc
casion to call lu a doctor or to take
any medicine lu the last thirty years.
I believe every one's health lu the

be used more stilt 1 llnd the beuellt
of drinking n tumbler of cold water
with a little salt In It every morning
on rising at about B o'clock, before

usually take between u:W and 0.

STRANGE COMPANIONS.
The "Happy Family" and a Kitten and
a Hawk.
The first publje exhibition of a "hap
py family" In Kiighind was given
nbout fifty yenrs ago, when there were
shown a monkey, a cat, several rats
and three or four pigeons In one cage.
The monkey was on excellent terms
with the cat so long as puss would
allow him to warm himself by cud
dling her; otherwise he would show
his vexation by slyly giving her tall
a nip with his teeth.
The birds Qercbed on the cat's back
and pecked at her fur. and the rats
were ns friendly with their nntural
enemy ns If she were one of their own

A lady walking lu the Isle of Wight
observed a little kitten curled up on
a mossy bank taking a midday nap.
As she stopped to stroke it a hawk
swooped down and, pouncing upon the
kitten, hid it from Bight.
The lady, fearing for the life of the
kitten, tried to rescue It, but the hawk
firmly faced her, stood at bay and re
fused to move. She hastened to a
fisherman's cottage and told the in
mates of the impending tragedy.
"It's always so," they said, laughing.
"That bawk always comes down if
any one goes near the kitten. He has
taken to It and stays near at band
to wntch whenever It goes to sleep."
The lady, greatly Interested, made
further Inquiry nnd learned that the
kitten's mother had died, after which
the nursling was missed for several
days. One day the hnwk was Been
about the cottage picking up scraps of
meat and enrrying them to the roof of
the cottage.
The fisherman climbed up and found
the lost kitten nestled In n hole in the
thatch nnd thriving under the care of
Us strango foster father. It was
brought down nnd restored to the cot
tage, but the hawk would not resign
bis charge and was always nt hand to
rescue the kitten from tho caresses of
strangers. Philadelphia North Amer

Queer Creatures.
There nre microscopic creatures
which live lu roof gutters and en the
bark of trees nnd are known ns water
bears and wheel nnlmalculae. If al
lowed to dry up under the microscope
they can be seen to shrivel Into shape
less mnsses. which may be kept for
yenrs uninjured In the dried state. On
being placed, after this long interval,
In water they gradually plump up, rev
sume their proper shape and move
about In search of food JuBt as If noth
ing had happened. Much the same Is
true for the minute worms which,
from the substances In which they
live, are known as paste and vinegar
eels. Well known Is the fnmous case
of the desert snail which, retracted
Into its shell, was fastened to a tab
let in the British museum and show
ed no sign of life for seven years,
when one morning It was found crawl
ing hungrily about the glass case that
formed its prison. Westminster Ga
zette. Saluting With the Hat
Before the invention of wigs the bat
was rarely removed except to salute
others, especially royal personages. It
was worn at table when ladles or per
sons of rank were present Except
when saluting royalty It was the cus
tom merely to raise the hand to the I
hat somewhat after the manner of n 1
military sulute. When It became the
mode to wear a profusion of false hair
the hat was less needed as a protec- I
tlon'for tho head and was carried un
der the arm.
A Retiary.
A retlnry was the name ot n Roman
glndlator armed lu a peculiar way. lie

with no more covering than a short
tunic, nnd with these Implements he
endeavored to entangle nnu dispatch
his adversary, who was called a sec u
tor (from seqtii, to follow) and was
armed with a helmet, a shield and n
sword. The name of the first Is pro
