Carlyle's Method of Work.
Carlyle Speaking of his method of work.
said lie had found the little
wooden pegs which washerwomen
employ to fasten clothes to a line
highly convenient for keeping to¬
gether bits of notes and agenda on
the sa?ne special point. It was his
habit to te on a screen in his
workroom engraved portraits, when
no better could be had, of the peo¬
ple he was then writing about. It
kept the image of the man steadily
in view,, and one must have a clear
image of him in the mind before it
was in the least possible to make
him be seen by the reader.
How Often the Watch Ticks.
Many V. at"hes make fl\e neat*
per second, 300 each minute, 18,000
every hour, or 432,000 per day.
Thus it will be seen that a half doz¬
en turns of the key once a day, tak¬
ing up but a few seconds of time,
stores up a modicum of power in the
spring whic-ii is cut up into nearly a
million of beats, it we multiply
the daily beats by 3 Q> 5 y±, the num-
her oi days in a year, we find that
the watch tick.s 157 , 788,000 while
the earth is making one annual trip
around the sun.

CATERPILLARS.
Expert Evidence as to the Taste of
These Insects.
In some cases an insect—as the
caterpillar of the ma: -■■ee moth—is
conspicuously c o ored b 'cause, as it
j 8 harmful food for birds, frogs or
lizards, they must be warned to
avoid it This has been long as-
gerted, but some naturalists have
hesitated to accept the theory.
Professor Plateau went out one
day and ate part of one of these so
called “distasteful^ insects. He re¬
ported that the flavor, if somewhat
insipid, was sweetish, containing a
suggestion of almond, and was on
the whole not unpleasant. After¬
ward Professor Wheeler of Texas
was induced to repeat this gastro¬
nomic adventure. His report con¬
cerning the insects ho devoured was
that the flavor was slightly sweet
and distinctly “nutty/’ and he ear¬
nestly invited naturalists to eat in¬
sects indiscriminately on all their
expeditions. That. Professor Wheel¬
er declared, would be the best way
to dispose of the theory that some
insects were harmful to birds, liz¬
ards and frogs and that their colors
were self protective in Warning
those creatures to abstain from gob¬
bling them up.
But Mr. Guy Marshall, the dis¬
tinguished naturalist of Mashona-
land, after proving that, as a mat-
ter of fact, frogs, birds and lizards
do abstain from eating the highly
colored caterpillars, pointed out
that the personal tests made by his
brother entomologists were of no
worth, inasmuch as man was not
naturally an insect eating animal,
and what was food to him might be
poison or at any rate highly unpal¬
atable to a frog.—London News.
An Urgent Call.
After dinner one very disagreea¬
ble night last week a certain Mad¬
ison avenue physician, looking from
his office window and seeing the
rain beat against the glass, decided
that he would have a quiet, unin¬
terrupted evening at home. He was
soon in his house coat, a novel in
his hand, and tobacco smoke was
curling around him. About 10
o’clock some one rang the doorbell.
“The doctor is wanted right
away at began the caller.
“He can’t go, sir,” answered the
servant quickly. “He left word
that he was not well and that unless
it was a case of life or death he
would not venture out.”
“Well, you tell him he must come
over. We need him to sit in a pok¬
er game.”
“Oh, you ? re Mr. B., are you (A
-
Step in, please, and I'll see."
A minute later the servant rean-
i
peared with, “The doctor says hell
be right over.”—New York Post.
A Kentucky Word.
In the mountains of eastern Ken¬
tucky when a man speaks of his
wife to a third person he calls her
“um,” or when a wife speaks of her
husband she calls him “um.” For
instance, “ ‘nm’ is going to Saylers-
ville tomorrow,” or “ ‘um’ shot a
bear yesterday.” The word is said
to have originated with young mar-
ried folks over 100 years ago, who
were too diffident to use the phrase
“my wife” or “my‘husband.”
While at the table before stran-
gers the husband who desired his
wife to pass the bread or sorghum
would attract the attention of his
wife by clearing fyis throat, “ahem/’
“oohum," and finally which degenerating
the phrase to “um, ’ was the
final understanding when each was
addressed.—Exchange.

VvO irtiSH STORIES.
A Man In a Fi S rU and a Qje«r
Bottle of Wine
The lute Lord Morris was full of
^gal stories, but the following did
r ‘ 0L b f loil S ‘old* budget: A case of
assault came before a Kerry J court.
In T the , course ot „ it . the , counsel for „
the defense when examining a wit-
ne for the prosecution asked,
“And you say the man who assault¬
ed you is blind or is as good as
blind “Yes, sir.” Then, how
came he to get into the scrim-
mage: “Weli, counselor, it wor
this way: Wherever lie heard the
blows go in' Ike slipped in, feel in’ for
a vacancy, and when he found it he
let fiy like a good man.”
“But you said just now that there
was a stofoi of thunder and light-
ning going on at the time.” “There
was so, yer honor.” “Then 1 sup¬
pose it got darker and darker.”
"Tlirue for you, counselor!” “And
you say this man was nearly blind,
Purely the darkness would have
made him quite so?” “Not at all,
sir. Contrariwise, every time a flash
of lightnin’ come he shthruck out
and hit me in the eye.” r\ It was
re.ining, too, I suppose.” It was
so, sir.” “Perhaps, then, as you are
so exact, you'll tell the gentlemen
of the jury the size of the drops of
rain.” “I will thin. To th#best of
me rec'llec-tion, they varied in size
from a shillin’ to 18 pence!”
This hazy view of the size of
drops of rain is somewhat sugges¬
tive of a drop too much of another
sort and reminds me of another
whose absurdity is due to the pro¬
vision of a drop too little, or, rath¬
er, a drop of the wrong sort. A
priest who is a total abstainer was
expecting his cousin, a Dublin so¬
licitor, on a visit and, knowing that
he did not hold the same views as
himself on the drink question, went
to -tlie* village grocer and ordered a
boLle of port. Tliis was duly deliv-
* ted ami decanted by his reverence,
At dinner time he hospitably
poured out a glass and said, “There,
Cousin Tom, that’s the best vintage
Ballyporeen affords.” The solicitor
sipped it critically and then said,
“Well, Cousin Cornelius, to my
mind it tastes a wee bit too much
of the musheruins” (mushrooms).
If proved to be catchup.—A Kerry
Man in London Spectator.
Skylark Journeyings.
The English skylark has inspired
several of the most beautiful poems
in our language, and its migrations
are of a character which, it would
seem, might appeal to English poets
only less effectively than its song
does. In violation of the general
rule that birds move southward in
the autumn immense numbers of
skylarks which have summered in
central Europe arrive in England in
September and October to pass the
winter in the British isles. In Oc¬
tober an entirely distinct immigra¬
tion of sk} r larks enters Great Brit¬
ain from Scandinavia, while all
through the autumn British bred
skylarks emigrate southward, man} r
of them going to the continent for
the winter. YYt others remain in
England all the year round.—

The Value of Cats.
Cats are so common nowadays
that people do not realize their val¬
ue, although they would soon do so
if they had to get along without
them for awhile and suffer from the
plague of vermin which would ar-
rive through unrestricted multiply-
ing of the pests which the pussies
destroy and drive away. So late as
the middle ages cats were compara-
tively j- 1 scarce • Europe -n and 3
m were so
highly prized that any person who
killed one was obliged to pay a fine,
This penalty sometimes was requir-
ed to be paid in the shape of a pile
of wheat big enough to cover the
slain animal when it was held ver-
tieally by the tip of its tail, the nose
touching the ground,
Treating a Sprain.
The first thing to do with a
sprain is to apply water as hot as
can be borne and repeat until the
pain is gone. The hot water may be
showered on the sprain, or wet
cloths may be used if frequently re-
newed. The foot or ankle can be
conveniently immersed in the hot
water. The next thing is to
the injured part thoroughly warm.
This is done by winding it with
wadding or flannel. The less a
sprained limb is used and the quiet-
er it is kept the more likely it is to
get well quickly.
