' JThe .one' thing in New York that I cant. get used, to," said .the country visitor,;ls the manifold uses to which undertakers put their shops. I used to be of the opinion that the only possible errand; a' person could, have at an un dertaker's was to purchase funeral supplies, but in this town I find that people, go there for all sorts of pur poses. They go to vote, to get mar ried and to transact all the legal busi ness that a notary public is capable of transacting. Yesterday I even saw a party eating luncheon in an under taker's establishment. They had come into town apparently to attend a fu neral and instead of patronizing a res taurant ihey calmly munched their midday meal in the midst of those lu gubrious surroundings. New York Globe. Irascible Carfyle. A lady who lived near Thomas Car lyle kept Cochin China fowls, and their crowing was such a nuisance that the philosopher sent a complaint to her. The .owner was indignant upon hear ing the appeal. "Why,' said she, "they crow only four times a day, and how can If r. Carlyle be seriously annoyed at that?" Upon hearing of her attitude upon the subject Carlyle replied, "The lady forgets the pain I suffer in waiting for those four rows." .. v Books Written In tfaiC C Jail seems to be a good place in which to- write books. Literary men "surpass themselves there. John Bunyan wrote "Pilgrim's Progress in jail. Cervantes wrote "Dox Quixote, in prison. Defoe laid the plans for Bobinson Crusoe" during a term of confinement imposed on him for the writing of a pamphlet called "The -Shortest Way With the Dissenters." Leigh Hunt wrote "Rim ini" In jail. Sir Walter Raleigh dur ing his fourteen years' imprisonment In the Tower of London wrote his ex cellent "History of the World." Silvio Pellico and Tasso both did their best work In jail. Food and Digestion. One of the biggest mistakes about food which people make is to- forget that the true value of food to anybody la the measure of Its digestibility. Half a pound of cheese is vastly more nour ishing, as regards its mere composi tion, than half a pound of beef; but while the beef will be easily digested, and thus be of vast service to us, the cheese is put out, of court altogether for ordinary folks by reason of its in dlgestlblllty. We should bear this role in mind when we hear people compar ing one food with another in respect of their chemical value. aug 11 tf Read Star Business Locals. They're Worth While. Once Too Often.

Torture. A shrewd old doctor once said: "if I wanted to torture an enemy, I would tell him he had an incurable disease.
