THE DAILY BAsW PNK, Lacked Winning Nerve, “When I was a racing fiend,” said the old telegrapher, “I one day got a tip by wire from an operator, a friend of mine in Philadelphia. It read: ‘Lil- lian K sure! Get in with both feet!’ I fancied Lillian KK myself, so I pawned my watch, borrowed all I could and The race was due in about half an hour, and Lillian K was up in the entries all right, but there were no odds against her. “So I says to the man at the desk, *What’s the odds on Lillian K? He looked at me like he was too tender hearted to rob a ‘come on’ and pitched me over a blank ticket and says care- lesslike: ‘Make out your own odds. Ill take ’em any way you fix it.’ “That was too much of a jolt for me, and I told him to hold on to the ticket for a minute while I went out to see a man. I went out and took a drink and tried to figure whether the man was four flushing or whether I looked any greener than I felt. Then I came back and tried to get my roll out of my pocket, but it wouldn’t come, and final- ly I sat around and watched the report come in, and put me on the blacklist if Lillian K didn’t win at 200 to 1, and the only man on it was a little hump- backed shoe pirate with his box under his arm and a dollar in dimes, nickels and coppers.”—Washington Star. Irish Trust and Distrust, The most trustful people in the world in money matters are the Irish A stranger can go into any shop and get a check cashed without the least diffi- culty, though the proprietor never saw him before and never heard of the drawer. Bank notes are very largely used, as almost every bank in the coun- try issues notes worth £1, £2, £3, and upward, and they are all looked upon as being quite as good as gold. But Bank of England notes, even in the large towns, are looked upon with suspicion, while in remote places peo- ple won’t take them at all. It is said that this suspicion of English notes is hereditary. From the time of James II up to 75 years ago the law was such with re- gard to currency that. if an Irishman wanted to pay £100 in England he had to remit £118 6s. Sd., while if he were being paid a debt by an Englishman he received only £85. Naturally he thougbt rather badly of English money, and in the 190 years during which this state of things continued tbe Irish peo- ple became so deeply convinced that John Bull was cheating them that they still regard the Bank of England as a corporation of robbers. The Jews In Frankfurt, George Brandes thus describes the , Ser rn position of the Jews in Frankfurt, Ger- ° many, at the beginning of the nine- teenth century: “All Jews were forced to live in the narrow, miserable, over- crowded Judengasse (Jew street), their sole abode since the year 1462. At the beginning of night all the inhabitants of the ghetto were locked in. They were not allowed to use the sidewalk while walking in the street in the day- time, but had to-take the middle of the street. They had to remove their hats before every passerby, who would call out, ‘Jew, make your bow! “To prevent too large an increase not more than 14 couples were permitted to marry in any one year. On every fes- tive occasion they were driven into the ghetto. On Sunday the gates were locked regularly at 4 o’clock, and no one was allowed to pass by the guard at the gate except when on an errand with a prescription to the drug store or for the purpose of mailing a letter. One general rule was ‘No Jew allowed on a green spot.’” Napoleon abolished this state of affairs in 1810, but it was restored after his downfall UNUSED TO THE CLIMATE. A Frenchman Finds Canadian Weather Had a Bad Effect on His Health. ee emt Sr. Everacna, Que, Feb, 12-—Anuguete Dubeis landed here from France, a perfect etranger te the weather conditions pre- vailing in this couatry. The food also differed fram that to which he had been aceustomed, and his heart being weak, the change had a serious effect upon it. He went toa medical man who did bim no good. He went te others with a similar result in each case. “T had te go te Montreal,” he eaye, “ to | work fer the Grand Trunk in that city and met a man who was suffering the same as myself, bat had started to take Dodd’s Kid ney Pille. He told me they were doing him good. He wes kind enought to give meafewofthem. I took them.

The Best at the Bottom, { / Speaking of poison murders, a native | of Maine told of a peculiar crime that occurred in his state. This was the case of a man who had tired of his wife, and in order to rid himself of her in the shortest and most expeditious manner possible he determined upon her death. Divorce, while a feasible method, appealed not to his frugal mind, since it involved a large initia- tory expense from counsel fees and a continuous one from alimony. So on murder he resolved, arsenic as the agent to effect it, and the method through which to introduce the poison into the stomach of his victim with- out arousing her suspicious the usually innocuous and popular lemonade. At the trial it was proved that he carried through his plans with skill and finesse, but after the deadly lem- onade had been drunk by his too trust- ing spouse, noticing that some of the precipitate remained in the bottom of the glass, he stirred it well up and again handed it to his victim with a loving smile, at the same time remark- ing, “But the best’s at the bottom, my dear.” How Shrapnel Operates. Shrapnel shell is a beautiful and in- genious missile. It consists of a hol- low, elongated shell, with a bursting charge of powder at the base and filled with from 200 to 600 half inch bullets, according to the size of the gun. It is fitted with a time fuse, which is “set” to fire the bursting charge at a given number of seconds after the shell has left the gun. The bursting charge in turn blows the head off the shell and sends forward the 200 to 600 bullets, which continue their course in a conical shower on to the ground.
