' Got Meld of It,

A Wutkinsburg family was discussing music, when one memrber strove to re- call the name of a certain composer.

_- can't remember it to saye my life,’ she said, “‘although it is on my tongue’s end. As near as I oan come to it his name is Doorknob."’

‘‘Doorknob,’' repeated one of the others, “There is no composer whose name sounds anything like that. I'l go over a few names: Beethoven, Mendels- sohn, Wagner, Haydn, Handel’’—

‘That's it,’’ interrupted the forgetful one. ‘‘It’s Handel. I knew it was some- thing you seized with your hands.’’— Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.

President Isaac Lewis of Sabina, Chio, is highly respected all through that section. He has lived in Clinton Co. 75 years, and has been president of the Sabina Bank 20 years. He gladly, testifies to the merit of Hood’s Sarsa- parilla, and what he says is worthy attention. All brain workers find Hood’s Sarsaparilla peculiarly adapted to their needs. It makes pure, rich, red blood, and from this comes nerve, mental, bodily and digestive strength. “Tam glad to say that Hood’s Sarsapa- rilla is a very good medicine, especially asa blood purifier. It has done me good many times. For several years I suffered greatly with pains of

in one eye and about my temples, es- pecially at night when I had been having a hard day of physical ana mental labor. Itook many remedies, but found help only in Hood’s Sarsaparilla which cured me of rheumatism, neuralgia and headache. Hood’s Sarsaparilla has proved itself a true friend. I also take Hood’s Pills to keep my bowels regular, and like the pills very much.” Isaac LEWIS, Sabina, Ohio,

Fr Pnr ne. HORSES. An Animal That Was Too Hard Yer General Grant to Manage.

General Horace Porter, in his ‘‘Cam- paigning With Grant’’ in The Century, tells the following anecdote of his chief during a ride from Petersburg to City Point:

Owing to the heat and dust the long ride was exceedingly uncomfortable. My best horse had been hurt, and I was mount- ed on a bay cob that had a trot which ne- cessitated no end of ‘‘saddle pounding’’ on the part of the rider, and if distances are to be measured by the amount of fatigue endured, this exertion added many miles tothe trip. The general was riding his black pony Jeff Davis. This smooth little pacer shuffled along ata gait which was too fast for a walk and not fast enough for 4 gallop, so that all the other horses had to move at a brisk trot to keep up with him.

When we were about five miles from headquarters, the general said to me ina joking way: *‘ You don’t look comfortable on that horse. Now I feel about as fresh as when we started out.’

I replied, ‘‘Jt makes all the difference in the world, general, what kind of horse one rides.”’

He remarked, ‘‘Oh, all horses are pretty much alike as far as the comfort of their gait is concerned.”’

‘*In the present instance,’’ I answered, “I don’t think you would like to swap with me, gencral.’’

He said at once, ‘Why, yes; I'd just as licf swap with you as not,’’ and threw himeclf off his pony and mounted my un- comfortable beast, while I put myscltf astride of Jeff. The gencral had always becn a famous rider, even when a cadet at West Point. W hen he rode or droye a strange horse, not many minutes elapsed before he and the animal seemed to under- stand each other perfectly. In my experi- ence } have never seen a better rider, or one who had ® more steady seat, no mat- ter what sert of horse isrcde. But on this occasion {€ soon Eccanie evident thas his body and that of the animal were not al- ways in touch, and he saw that all the party were considerably amused at the jogging to which he was subjected. In the meantime Jeff Davis was pacing along with a smoothness which made me feel as if I were seated in a rocking chair. When we reached ‘headquarters, the general dis- mounted ims a manner which showed that be was pretty stiff from the ride. Ashe touched the ground he turned and said with a quizzical look, ‘‘Well, I must ac- knowledge that animal is pretty rough.”’

MONEY IN WASPS.

How a Long Headed Farmer Utilized the H¥o*“'ts of the Insects,

Along the banks of the Cape Fear river in North Carolina are lowlands behind which lies a higher level or bench. The lowlands are subject to more or less fre- quent overflow by freshets, which are de- structive to crops planted thereon. A num- ber of years ago a farmer, resident in the vicinity, made a very comfortable sum of money by insuring his neighbors’ crops against these freshets. His unvarying suc- cess as an insurer was for many years a profound mystery to the people of the region. The years when he declined to in- sure were invariably years of destructive overflow. The years when he was willing to insure were equally certain to be seasons of exemption from disaster.

In the earlier days in England this man’s reading of the future would have brought him some unpleasant experience as a dabbler if not an adept in black art. In the middle ages of Europe he would probably have been revered as a prophet and saint. Yet his information came from no occult soucre. Observation had shown him that a certain species of wasp, which built its home in the ground, built some years on the lowlands and other years up- on the higher level. Experience taught him that when the wasps built on the low- lands there were no freshets and when they built on the higher ground the low- er would some time during the season be submerged. ‘he man had simply noted an instance of that little understood presci- ence inanifested by certain insects and ani- mals, a better Knowledge of which might even be of service to our national weather bureau. It was only at his death that he revealed his secret.—New York Post.

American Steam Engines In Africa.

I looked in vain for anything American connected with the railway service. Sir James Sievewright was himself of the opinion that Axerican locomotives and trucks were eminently suited tothe class of work required between Cape Town and Pre- toria, 1,000 mias away, but that there was one insurmountable objection—namely, that represented by the prejudices of Eng- lish railway employees. At one time two Baldwin locomotives had been brought out from Philadelphia, and also a dozen freight cars. So long as the American manager remained with them they worked very well, but when he returned te America the authorities discovered that everything be- gan to go wrong. The workmen, who had been accustomed to English machinery dis- liked any innovation, and took particular satisfaction in creating difficulties for the new engines. The authorities finally gave up the attempt to conquer this local preju- dice, with the result that today the whote system of colonial railways tn British South Africa is aduplicate of what is com- mon in England.—Poultney Bigelow in Harper's Magazine.

A Disgusted Seotchman.

4 famous astronomer, whose knowledge of arithmetical facts was a dreadful engine of conversation, once'diverted himself by iasking the company if they were aware of the immense distance they were from heayen. It ‘was, he informed them, so many millions of ‘diameters of the solar system and would take many thousand years to traverse. ‘‘I don’t Know the dis- tance nor the time,’’ exclaimed ‘a Scotch- man whowas present, ‘‘that it would take ‘you toget to heaven. But I know this -—it will not take you a millionth part of the time to go to theother place. ’‘~-San -Franciseo Argonaut.

A Novel Interastional Renchesa,

For an international luncheon the name eards might be adorned with a map sketched with pen and ink, and also by a drawing of the national flower of the coun- try represented. If one is so fortunate as to be able to use water colors, the cards can be made mest attractive. Each caré@ should contain some question which the one at whose piate it is will read and an- swer, or, if unavle to answer, will present to the company for general discussion. For example, under the map of Venezuela may be v ‘itten, ‘‘When and how did Eng- land first ucquire territory here?’’ and on the map of France the question, ‘‘Why did Napoleon antedate the actual time of his birth?’ Questions in regard to the people, flora or fauna of a country may be pro- pounded if desired, and the clever hostess will see that the cards are distributed so that the knowledge and talents of each of her guests may be shown to the greatest advantage. The idea can be developed still further by having foods from the various countries represented, for instance, ‘*French peas,’’ ‘‘Cuban sugar,’’ ‘‘Spanish olives’? and ‘‘Swiss cheese.’’—Ladies’ Home Journal.

A Choice of Three Things.

Australian judges make jokes that would hardly pass muster on this side of the equator. One of them recently going on circuit arrived at a town where a clean charge sheet was presented for his accept- ance, accompanied, of course, with the in- evitable pair of white gloves. Having ac- repted the gift, he returned thanks in these terins:

‘“This proves that either the district pos- sesses an unusually high standard of mo- rality, orthat there is nothing in it worth stealing, or that the police are not active enough to catch criminals.’’

Leaving his hearers in doubt as to which of the three alternatives he personally fa- vored, the judge smiled sweetly at the local head of the police force and retired from the bench. —Pearson‘s Weekly.
