Two or , ; three other men were standing near me doing the same. , ... , "Our attention, was lazily enlisted as .we stood there by the spectacle of boy wearing a chefs cap and apron recklessly swinging ait empty crockery - jritcher above bis bead. The boy was trigged up like a hotel kitchen appren tice. , " TVbat infernal wbelps most boys are, anyhow!' remarked a sporty look , ing man standing near me to a plain . looking individual who was standing alongside of blm. , 'Now, Just look at that cub fooling with that pitcher. It's a clncb that he'll drop It and smash It ' to smithereens before be gets to Sev enth avenue.' , 'Oh, I dunno,' was the reply of the . - lain looking roan. I 'I guess the kid knows what he's about - He's got pretty good clutch on the handle of the .pitcher. Ue'U bang on to Jt all right' , " 'Bet you live .be drops it before be ' reaches Seventh Bvenuek'fw ;the quick response of theman with fne sporty WWi" , ' i J ,ir j " 1 guess I'll take that bet,' answered the. plaii) looking man, and be produced jtls wad. The sporty looking citizen peeled a V from bis roll and both men 'put up their money with the uniformed carriage opener stattanedoutside the Marlborough. - Then thejmtook op th 'Jog together toward Beventit avenae to keep an eye on' the boy; wno Was still 'swinging the pitcher wildly. I beld mv around and watched the .proceed Ing. It looked likej a pretty: good bet for the plain looking man until, when the boy was only About ,4fa-feet from the corner of - Slventb Vuue, the pitcher flew out $tj his hand as be was trying some singularly difficult piece of Juggling with it, and was dashed into a hundred fr omenta on a door step. The sporty looking man and the ; plain looking individual returned to where t was standing and the former took the two V's from the stakeholder ' with a grin, saying: ,- m . thought sure I was going to lose out on that when the kid got so near ; 'Seventh avenue without anything hap pening to the pitcher.' , "Two days later was standin alongside a' hotel at the corner of Eighth avenae and One' Hundred and ' Twenty-fifth street in Harlem, waiting - for a downtown electric car, when saw that selfsame youngster, with the identical kitchen apprentice's toggery, going along Eighth avenue, again wild- jly swinging a pitcher. Then I east -my eyes about me,' and there, only three feet to the left of trie, and leaning against an 'L' stanchion, was the sporty looking man. He blinked lazily at me when he saw that I had, observed the boy with the pitcher. ' ' " 'What Infernal whelps- most boys v are, anyway!' be said to me in precisely : the same words and the same tone he had used in making the remark a con pie of days before to the plain looking man who had lost bis V. 'Now; just look at that cub fooling with that pitcher. It's a cinch that he'll drop it and smash it to smithereens before be reaches the next corner.4 ' . t "'What a foxy way this fellow bag of making a living? I mused. 'But I'll .Just give blm a little run for tils money, so I will.' " That's the betting end of if I said aloud to the sporty looking man, 'that I'd be willing to take myself.' "Oh, well,' he replied laughingly, 'any old thing to pass the time away. It's about an even thing one way or the other, I suppose.' ' " "Just about' said I.

"There is an easy way, if you are cigarette smoker, to tell whether or not the habit injures you." said a phy sician. "Do you feel, after smoking, a languor, a sinking and a great depres sion ,- Do you feel melancholy. bope less, weak? If you do you should aban don smoking at once. ' "The tendency of tobacco Is to weak en the action of the heart But in very strong, robust persons this weakening effect is very slight. It is not felt ft II, and these persons tobacco cannot be said to injure. But in persons whose hearts and constitution are frail the ef fect Is strongly felt, the symptoms be ing those that I have Just described. and such persons ought not to smoke, This specialist has tabulated the rec ords of all the smoking and nonsmok ing medical students of bis acquaint ance for a period of nine years. He has found that the smokers are shorter in stature than the nonsmokers and that they do not develop 'as well. In the course of four years nonsmokers gain 24 per cent more in height and 26 per cent more in chest girth than the smokers. The former, too, are quicker than the latter. They learn quicker, walk quicker excel In the speed of all the physical and mental sets. Phlla delphia Inquirer, , - - . A Remedr For Saafce Bite, ,.' There is1 a most remarkable account of the exploring trip of an orchid hunt er named Andre -through an unknown part of Venezuela. The party met with terrible hardships and privation, and only about half of them got back to civilization. They were in continual danger from snakes, and the native remedies, the only ones at band, were severe ones. One day Mateo Bamlres, one of the men walking through the jangle, was bitten just above the ankle by a snake. Andre suspected that the bite was not poisonous, but Mateo was In mortal terror and allowed bis friends to subject blm to a remedy worse than the disease. Throwing him to . the ground, they wound a strong creeper around his thigh until it cut into, the flesh and then burned the wound with a live coal until the patient shrieked In agony, Shewed tobacco and crushed garlic wove afterward rubbed in and the wound bound up. The snake bite was cured, but the poor victim suffered lor many ys irom the remedy. Jjes- lle's. Monthly.- . -', .."::,'. ' The Poor Chta.es Wife. ' A Chinese wife is not exactly to be envied, for she is under the authority not merely of her husband, but also of bis mother. A book on Chinese eti quette gives rules which show pretty clearly how utterly subject a woman is to her mother-in-law. Here am a few of them; "When your mother-in- law sits you should stand. Obey her orders quickly. Rise early in the morn ing and open the doors quietly, taking care to make no noise to waken her. Hasten to prepare ber toilet articles; retire and prepare for tea. Take it to her quickly and cheerfully, and then arrange the breakfast table Place the chopsticks straight boll the rice soft and let the meal be thoroughly done. Prepare the meals thus carefully thrice -dally. When darkness comes and your great one desires to sleep, spread the bed, when she may peacefully rest and you may retire to your room." ' Example of Taraeaesa. Perhaps the tersest and most effec tive election speech ever made, says a London weekly, was that of Mr. John Peel at Accrington, when at last and after the most urgent solicitation he was induced to address there the elect ors of northeast Lancashire. "Men of Accrington, if you are so backward In coming forward, we shall all be behind as we were before." The only deliver ance comparable with this in terseness and effectiveness was the sermon of Dean Swift's, which, taking as Its text lie that giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord," began and ended thus: "Brethren, if you like the security down with the dust!" ' Not Csed to Pallia Corfca. A slight Are occurred on the fourth floor of a downtown establishment An Irishman was at work on the same floor at the time the blaze started, and after It was put out Pat was called Into the private ofllce of the manager. 'Tat why didn't you try to put that fire out yourself? l'ou could easllv have extlnCTlslied.it with a hand .gre nade; there's plenty of them up there." said the manager.
