Starve a Cold.
Nature, as a rule, takes the appetite
away when one is coming down with
a cold or other infectious disease, and
nature is wise. Don’t coax Mary to
eat when she has a cold. Don’t allow
the neighbors to tempt Johnny with
calfs foot jelly or other dainties.
When suffering from a cold the diges
tive organs are in no condition to care
for food. The digestive Juices are al
tered or entirely absent. One or two
days’ comparative fast will often as
sist In averting a severe siege of cold.
A. more convenient and enjoyable form
of fasting would be to subsist for one
or two days upon fruit or fruit Juices
perhaps, with the at’ ^ lou of a little
toast An exclusive iiuit diet has all
the practical advantages of complete
fasting, while it satisfies the appetite
and supplies sugar from which the liv
er can manufacture glycogen to sus
tain the white blood corpuscles in
their continuous warfare against mi
crobes.—William S. Sadler in Designer.
Giving Him Carte Blanche.
A few years ago John Kendrick
Bangs, the humorist, told a number of
his Broadway literary confreres that
he felt particularly elated over an or
der he had Just received from Henry
W. Savage, the theatrical producer,,
for the libretto of a musical comedy.
The play was produced a few months
later. During the long period of rer
hearsals so much of Bangs’ material
was eliminated and so much other ma
terial inserted In its stead that when!
the curtain went up on the first night
not more than half a dozen of the
original lines remained.
About a week later a friend, meet
ing Bangs, asked him if he was writ
ing any more plays for Savage.
“Yes,” replied Bangs. “Only an
hour ago I sent him 500 blank sheets
of paper and told him to go as far as
he liked.”—Irvin Cobb to New York
Tribune.
Anthony Trollope’s First Earnings.
A literary man recalls Anthony Trol
lope’s little gloat over the first fruits
of his pen. “I send you a copy of "The
Warden,’ ” he wrote to Lord Houghton
in 1866, “which Mr. Longman assures
me is the last of the first edition.
There were, I think, only 750 printed,
and they have been over ten years in
hand. But I regard the book with af
fection, as I” made £9 2s. 6d. by the first
year’s sales, having previously writ
ten and published for ten years with
out any such golden result. Since then
I have Improved even upon that.”
Trollope, of course, “improved upon
that” in no uncertain fashion.—West
minster Gazette.
It Was Real.
“My, this must have been excltingr’
says Mrs. Bilmers, who is reading the
paper. “A twenty foot boa constrictor
escaped from the zoo yesterday and
was captured after it had climbed
halfway up a telegraph pole.”
“And I swore off when I saw it as I
went downtown!” growled Mr. Bil
mers disgustedly.
“What are you muttering?” she
asked.
“Nothing. I just said it must have
been a ticklish job.”—Chicago Post

BREAKING A CUSTOM. '
How the Salt Shaker Was Introduced
to the Spaniard.
Until a few years ago no Spaniard
had on his dining table any other re
ceptacle for salt than the old style
opeih cellar. An enterprising Briton
saw this, noted that the salt was al
ways dirty and gummy and deter
mined to introduce a certain famous
salt shaker from which clean salt
would run freely in the dampest
weather. Bravely he started to tour
Spain for the company.
“No, senor; no est costumbre usar
mas quo esto” (“No, sir; it^s not cus
tomary to use more than that”—the
old cellar), was the answer of every
dealer to whom he presented the nov
elty. Again and again he was re
buffed. He began to despair when,
standing one day gazing Into a Jew
eler’s window, a brilliant idea struck
him. He entered. Realizing the child
like curiosity and Impressionable char
acter of his quarry, he persuaded the
Jeweler to display a shaker Hi his
window and coached him about sell
ing it A Spaniard came along, look
ed in the window, saw the curious ob
ject, Investigated.
“It is very pretty for the toilet ta
ble,” he remarked after prolonged
scrutiny, “perhaps useful for the chil
dren. What goes In It—perfume?”
Indifferently the Jeweler glanced np
from some scribbling. “No, sir; only
aol^
“Man, salt!”
“Yes. Possibly I could get you a lit
tle—the kind that doesn’t get sticky—
to try. But 1 don’t know.”
The simple gentleman was amazed,
angry, affronted, by the novelty, but
he took it and an ounce or two of the
special salt home with him. The Jew
eler ordered another shaker and more
samples of salt. By and by the gen
tleman had used all his salt and want
ed more of the same kind. The busi
ness of that company today Is worth
many figures In Spain every year, and,
more than that, as it is “costumbre”
now to use that particular sort of
shaker and brand of salt there is vir
tually no competition.—Arthur Stanley
Riggs in Century.
ALASKAN MOSQUITOES.
They Are Small and Silent, but Work
With Fire Tipped Stings.
Mosquitoes in this icebound north
ern country, Alaska, are a plague be
yond relief. They come to life about
the middle of May, before the ground
is thawed out and while many feet of
Ice still cover the lakes and all but the
swiftest rivers. Stagnant sun heated
water is not in the least necessary.
They breed in the glaciers wherever a
bit of earth or manure has melted a
little pool. TBeir wrigglers are seen
in running ice water. By the 1st of
June it is uncomfortable to sleep with
out protection, and from that time on
until September, when the first frosts
have benumbed them, especially dur
ing the warm, rainy season of July
and August, they become a never ceas
ing scourge, swarming In thousaude.
The Alaskan mosquito Is small,
brown, silent and very much in ear
nest. He never sings a warning nor
fools about selecting a spoft to hla
taste, but comes In a bee line with his
probe and gets into action. EJvery
inch of your clothing is industriously
bored, so that you look like an ani
mated brown cocoon, and the slightest
exposed spot on wrist or neck is
promptly set on fire. I experimented
with a small hole in my glove. After
the first mosqifito had found the open
ing others came in quick succession
to the spot He left some microscopic
“kind lady and no dog” sign there. If
I killed the first and left his carcase
It served as a warning not at all. The
others came the faster, and the nvore I
killed the more eager the survivors be
came, perching quite unmoved on the
remains of their confreres.—World To

The Joke a Printer Turned on Louit
Philippe and M. Thiers.
One morning during the reign of
Louis Philippe there appeared In the
Constitutionnel the following startling
paragraph:
“His majesty the king received M.
Thiers yesterday at the Tuilerles and
charged lilm with the formation of a
new cabinet The distinguished states
man hastened to reply to the king:
“ ‘I have only one regret, which Is
that I cannot wring your neck like a
turkey’s.’ ”
A few lines lower down there was
another paragraph running to the fol
lowing effect:
“The efforts of Justice have been
promptly crowned with success. The
murderer of the Rue du Pot-de-Fer has
been arrested in a house of bad reputa
tion. Led at once before the judge of
Instruction, the wretch had the hardi
hood to address the magistrate In terms
of coarse insult winding up with the
following words, which amply show
that there remains not a spark of con
science or right feeling in this hard
ened soul:
“ ‘God and man are my witnesses
that I have never had any other am
bition than to serve your august per
son and my country loyally to the best
of my ability.’ ”
The printer had just cleverly managed
to interchange the two addresses. The
cream of the joke was that it was uni
versally known how very little love
there was lost between the king and
the minister.—Strauss’ Reminiscences
Last of the Old Orators.
The late Senator John Warw’ick
Daniel of Virginia may be said to
have been the last of the old fash
ioned orators in the house of the con
script fathers. His fame will rest not
on his lawbooks, which were excel
lent; not on his speeches In house and
senate, which were strong, but on two
masterly orations on Lee and Stone
wall Jackson dellvortMl before his en
trance into congresf-' It may well be
doubted whether anything superior to
them, considered simply as orations,
can be found In the literature of the
world. They would have delighted
Cicero himself.-Champ Clark in Cen
tury.
Flogged For Bathing.
On an Island in the Cam. nt Grnnt-
chester, is a mill pond known as “By
ron’s pool” because it was here that
the poet as an undergraduate enjoyed
his favorite recreation. Even in his
day Edward Conybeare tells us in
“Highways and Byways In Cam
bridge” bathing was a practice some
what frowned on by the academic au
thorities. A century or so earlier any
student found guilty of it was publicly
flogged In the hall of his college and
was again flogged on the morrow in
the university schools by the proctors.
A second offense meant expnlslon from
the university.
How the Empress Got Out of France
After Sedan.
As soon as the hot headed citizens of
Paris learned in September, 1870, that
their emperor, Napoleon III., had sur
rendered to the Prussians at Sedan
these Parisians rose in a riotous mob
and made posthaste for the Tuilerles.
They were armed and after royal
blood and plunder. The empress bad
to flee for her life. Assisted by the
Austrian and Italian ministers, she
made a hurried flight from the palace,
but found the mob ahead of her in
the garden; back again and then out
by a secret way into a side street,
where they entered a carriage. A
street gamin recognized the empress
here, but the shouting of the mob was
so great that the boy’s cry of warning
was not heeded.
Once the carriage was stopped by a
mob, but the party alighted and man
aged to escape. Finding themselves
near the residence of Dr. Evans, the
American dentist, they took refuge
there, and the doctor took upon him
self the responsibility of Empress Eu
genie’s safety. The empress put on a
dress belonging to Mrs. Evans and,
with Mme. Breton, her friend, was
driven by Dr. Evans to the suburbs.
Dr. Evans explained that the women
were a patient and her attendant
whom he was taking to a sanitarium.
Two days later the fugitives reached a
coast town, whence they escaped to
England.
Novelty For New Yorkers,
“That sunrise effect Is all wrong!”

Plants That Shoot Arrows.
The arrows are crystal needles of
oxalate of lime. They are of naicroscop-
ic domensions, and they are shot from
minute capsule shaped bodies found
In the tissues of such plants as the
Indian turnip and the Polynesian taro.
An extraordinary spectacle may be
viewed In the field of the microscope
when the "bonds” contained in a drop
of taro pulp begin to discharge their
arrows. Sometimes only one or two
needles and sometimes grou];>s of four
to ten were discharged at once, the
bomb recoiling as the projectiles left
It. It has been suggested that the
intense burning and pricking sensa
tions experienced In chewing soch
plants as those Just mentioned are due
to the release and discharge of these
crystal arrows when the plant tissues
are crushed in the mouth.—Harper’s
Weekly.
A Fine Distinotion.
Sometimes a small boy can draw a
fine distinction. Two fishermen of the
sportsman type, equipped with all the
latest appliances for angling, were
walking a mountain road when they
met a barefooted boy with a tin can in
his hand and a carelessly trimmed
branch of a tree slung over his shoal-
der.
"Hello, sonny!” exclaimed one of
the men. “Going fishing?”
“No,” drawled the youngster, with
only a glance at the splendid ontflts,
“I ain’t goin’ fishin’. I’m just goln*
down to the crick to ketch some fish.**
