Saying Thank You.
We should not be afraid to say thank
you, when any one renders us a service.
No matter how trivial, it deserves some
recognition.
A pleasant word and a simile makes
the little lad who brings wood and water
for mamma smile back in return and be
goes cheerfully after another armful. A
cheery “thank you, my dear,” after the
little daughter has performed allotted
tasks, sends her off to her play thinking
that it is real nice to work for mamma,
and she will more cheerfully respond
next time by reason of it.
Then we should not be slow to ac
knowledge the services of those whom
we employ. Because they get paid for
their work is no reason why a kindly
word of appreciation is not their right
ful due. It must be extremely discour
aging to say the least to go on week after
week without a word of praise, and
worse still when our best efforts are un
noticed or found fault with. Those per
sons who have least trouble with hired
help are those who are quick to acknowl
edge favors with a kind word, from
whose lips the “thank you” falls easily.
A haughty manner with social inferiors
marks the snob—truly good breeding is
indicated by kindness even to those who
perform the most menial tasks. Wealth
and social position are largely matters
of accident; the true gentleman, the true
lady may have neither one.
A Fool’s Errand.
The Klondike season is about to open
and it is said that more than 200,000 per
sons are preparing to join the spring
rush to the land of gold.
If this is true it shows that the fool
population of this country is lamentably
large.
It is stated on good authority that all
the desirable gold bearing claims in the
Klondike have been located and the only
chance for the new-comer now is either
to pay a big price for a claim or go to
work on wages. There will certainly be
an over supply of labor and it is safe to
predict that if 200,000 persons leave this
country for the Klondike this year nine
out of ten of them will suffer unless
they are amply supplied with money.
It is inevitable that every new discov
eiy of gold in large quantities should
bring misfortune to far more people than
it benefits, but we regret to see the Klon
dike craze threatening to involve nearly a
quarter of a million people in trouble.
Culture of Licorice.
Surely, in some part of our great
country, licorice would be found to
thrive. And yet, so far as has come
to the knowledge of Meehan’s
Monthly, all attempts to cultivate it
have failed. The difficulty seems
io be with the summer sun. Leaves
jlight and turn brown as soon as
the weather becomes warm, but this
would probably not be the case in
submountainous regions. When it
is remembered that nearly 20,00<>
tons of these roots come into the
United States every year from the
old world its culture here is surely
a prize worth contending for. —Mee
han’s Monthly.
A consignment of 530 reindeer for the
government's Klondike relief expedition
which is not needed and may not be sent,
has been started from Norway. Possibly
some mail contractor in the far north,
who has a pull at Washington, may be
able to effect an advantageous deal for
the animals, or maybe the government
will start a national park somewhere in
Al aska and put these reindeer in it as a
starter.
The janitor of the custom house in
Atlanta, on a salary of SBOO, and an ex
member of the Georgia legislature, has
been fired because he would not clean
cuspidors and wash windows. When
they can’t get rid of a fellow legitimately
Giey call on him to do things they know
he will not do, and then have him dis
missed for neglect of his alleged duty.

There were forty deaths from con
sumption in Philadelphia last week.
The doctors have reached the conclusion
that consumption is a contagious disease,
and that it could be largely diminished,
if not erradicated, by proper preventive
measures.

A Baltimore man by the name of Hugg
has applied for a divorce. He probably

The French people are exultant over
the fact that the births in the republic
exceeded the deaths last year by 93,700.
In view of the slow decline of the popu
lation of France during recent years their
rejoicing is readily intelligible.
Governor Hoge Tyler is said to be the
first agricultural farmer governor Vir

DIDN’T KNOW ADOLPHUS.
He Was No Cad, but Merely Demonstrat
ing the Value of His Goods.
The young mau who had insinu
ated himself into the acquaintance
of everybody in the party was a
striking example of how the bitter
may be mingled with the sweet.
The young women pronounced him
lovely, and the young men linked
his name with fierce though unut
tered maledictions. It was a strik
ing illustration of the ease with
which a man’s motives may be mis
judged. His first name was Adol
phus, which fact was calculated to
damage his popularity among the
men from the first.
They were admiring the scenery.
“See how that mountain rises in
the distance,” exclaimed one girl.
“It’s great,” said Charley Chug
gins, with enthusiasm.
“You wouldn’t think it’s as big
as it really is to look at it from
here,” remarked Dicky Dodd.
“You’d think it was big enough
If you had to walk to the top, as I
have,” commented Billy Bliven vi
vaciously.
“It reminds me,” Adolphus mur
mured, “that’the heights by great
men reached and kept were not at
tained by sudden flight, but they,
while their companions slept, were
toiling upward in the night.”
The young men glared at him, but
one of the girls whispered to the
others:
“Isn’t he lovely?”
“Have you heard about Marne’s
engagement?” one of the young
women remarked, after a pause.
“Yes,” replied another. “She has
broken it. He has sent her back all
her letters and she has returned his
ring.”
Billy Bliven was about to offer
some opinion when Adolphus inter
jected :
“To the noble mind rich gifts wax
poor when donors prove unkind.”
The girls looked at one another
■with ecstatic approval.
“Maine is a nice girl,” said one.
Then, turning to Adolphus, she said,
“Do you know her?”
“Yes,” he answered. “I met her
once and found her charming. When
she had passed, it seemed like the
ceasing of exquisite music.”
“The trouble was that she thought
he was marrying her for her mon
ey,” commented the informant.
“Ah,” came the response, with a
deep sigh, “to whom can riches give
repute or trust, content or pleasure,
but the good and just?”
“I honestly think that Maine feels
worse about it than he does,” com
mented the informant.
“Yes,” said Adolphus. “Man’s
love is of man's life a thing apart;
’tis woman’s whole existence.”
He had the conversation all his
own way after that. Some of the
other young men talked about base
ball and kindred topics, but most of
them lagged along in gloomy silence.
When the girls had left them, they
got together and held an indignation
meeting.
“It’s an outrage,” said one.
“I’ll bet he’s an unmitigated cad, ”
exclaimed another, who had not ob
served the approach of Adolphus.
“Anything going wrong?” asked
that young gentleman genially.
“Yes, there is something going
wrong,” replied Billy Bliven, who is
noted for his directness of speech.
“We don’t like the way you talk.
We are plain people, and we’re tired
of hearing you try to show off every
time any of us opens his mouth.”
“I think I have succeeded in mak
ing an impression on the ladies, ” re
plied Adolphus complacently.
“You don’t expect us to be happy
over that, do you, when the means
by which you did it was to provoke
comparisons to our disadvantage:”
“lean understand your feelings.
But you can’t blame a man for do
ing business in a businesslike man
ner,” he proceeded soothingly.
“Do you mean to say that you
make a business of this sort of
thing?”
“Every man who engages in com
merce ought to be prepared to dem
onstrate the value of his wares.
That,” he went on, while reaching
into his inside vest pocket, “is what
I have been engaged in doing foi
your benefit. I have here a little
volume for which I am sole agent.
It is entitled ‘Conversation Made
Easy; or, One Thousand Selected
Quotations Suited to All Emergen
cies. ’ The type is clear, the paper
good, and yet it is so compact that
it may be carried without attracting
attention, so as to be available for
any occasion. The publishers of
this work are not mercenary per
sons. Realizing that the love of
money is the root of all evil, they
are content to do good by stealth
and blush to find it fame. I am, for
that reason, enabled to offer you
this work, whose value is inestima
ble, at the absurdly low figure of $2
a copy.”—Washington Star.
A Genuine Delight.
“There is one thing which grati
fies a woman more than all things
else.
“And what is that :”
“Being told that other women ar*
jealous of her.”—Chicago Record.
In Fiji the coinage chiefly consists
of whales’ teeth, those of greater
value being dyed ted. The natives
exchange 20 white teeth for one red
one, as the British exchange shil
lings for a sovereign.
An authority states that the gold
in the shape of coin and ornaments
hoarded by the natives of India
amounts to the enormous sum cf
£250,000,000.
A GREAT record of cures, une
quailed in medical history, proves
Hood’s Sarsaparilla possesses merit un
known to any other MEDICINE.

HONEY AS FOOD.
There Are Said to He Health and Long
Life In Its Use.
A pound of honey will go as far
as a pound of butter, and if both ar
ticles be of the best quality the hon
ey will cost the less of the two.
Often a prime article of extracted
honey, equal to comb honey in ev
ery respect except appearance, can
be obtained for half the price of but
ter, or less. Butter is in its best
only when it is “fresh,” while hon
ey, properly kept, remains indefi
nitely good—no noed to hurry it out
of the way for fear it may become
rancid.
Sugar is much used in hot drinks,
as in coffee and tea. The substitu
tion of a mild flavored honey in such
use may be a very profitable thing
tor the health. Indeed it would be
better for the health if the only hot
drinks were what is called in Ger
many honey tea—a cup of hot wa
ter with one or two tablespoonfuls
of extracted honey. The attainment
of great age has in some cases been
attributed largely to the lifelong use
of honey tea.
Many people think '‘honey is hon
ey,” all just alike, but this is a great
mistake. Honey may be of good
heavy body, what beekeepers call
“well ripened” and weighing some
times 12 pounds to the gallon, or it
may be quite thin. It may also be
granulated or candied, more solid
than lard. It may be almost as col
orless as water, and it may be as
black as the.darkest molasses. The
flavor of honey varies according to
the flower from which it is obtained.
It would be impossible to describe in
words the flavors of the different
honeys. The different flavors in
honey are as distinct as the odors in
flowers. Among the lighter colored
honeys are white clover, linden (or
basswood), sage, sweet clover, alfal
fa, willow herb, etc., and among the
darker are found heartsease, mag
nolia (or poplar), horsemiut, buck
wheat, etc.
Tastes differ as to honey as in all
other things. White clover is so
generally preferred to buckwheat,
with its very dark color and strong
ly marked flavor, that buckwheat
honey always rules lower in price
than white clover, yet there are
some who prefer buckwheat to any
other honey. Somewhat fortunate
ly, one generally prefers the honey
to which he is most accustomed. A
Californian thinks nothing equals
white sage, while a Pennsylvanian
thinks white clover far ahead.
In these days of prevailing adul
teration, when so often “things are
not what they seem,” it is a com
fort to know that when one buys
comb honey he may know with
out question he is getting the
genuine article. The silly stories
seen from time to time in the
papers about artificial combs being
filled with glucose and deftly sealed
over with a hot iron have not the
slightest foundation in fact. For
years there has been a standing of
fer by one whose financial responsi
bility is unquestioned of $1,009 for
a single pound of comb honey made
without the intervention of bees.
The offer remains untaken and will
probably remain so, for the highest
art of man can never compass such
delicate workmanship as the skill of
the bee accomplishes.
With extracted honey the case is
different. When you see in the gro
cery a tumbler of liquid honey with
a small piece of comb honey in the
center, you may be pretty sure the
liquid honey is not honey at all, but
pure glucose. If not familiar enough
with honey to detect it by taste,
your only safe course is to buy of
the producer direct or of some one
who know s as to its source and upon
whose honesty you can rely.
Aside from its use in an unchanged
state as a direct accompaniment of
bread or biscuit, honey is used by
bakers in manufacturing their choic
est wafers. An advantage of using
honey for anything in the line of
cake is in its keeping qualities. Even
if the cake should become dry, close
it up in a bread can for a time, and
its freshness will return. —Bee Cul
ture.
A Mediaeval Bill of Fare.
An old chronicle preserves a bill
of fare for a council dinner in the
year 1592. For the first course there
were capons, steamed beef and old
hens, black game prepared with vin
egar; second course, steamed carp
served with spiced sauce, sauerkraut
with mutton and pastry; third
course, roast veal, birds, fried fish,
cheese, fruit, nuts, chestnuts and
wafers. The wine and game were
furnished by the court. The host re
ceived 15 farthings from each per
son.—“ Stuttgart,” by Elise J. Al
les, in Harper’s Magazine.
