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.

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.

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).

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.— Youth’s Companion. 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.
