A small brazier, full of redliot char coal, was brought. Seating himself on the floor In front of this, the Arab pick ed out with a pair of iron pinchers a big lump, which he broke into small frag ments, one of which he put into his mouth. Swaying his body to and fro, uttering a series of semisuppressed groans, he munched the hot charcoal between bis teeth. When be had re tained it nearly a minute, be spat it out and took up another piece. The opera tion appeared to cause him great pain. He rolled his eyes wildly, and at times the saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth. Persians are said to be utterly cal lous to human suffering, but Mahmoud Bey was so much upset that he got up and went out of the room. The prince, too, was visibly affected. To me the performance appeared a mere piece of vulgar trickery. By practice a man might easily retain a small piece of hot charcoal between his teeth in such a manner that it should not scorch his flesh. When tlie Arab had crushed some five or six pieces we begged him to stop. He rose and seated himself on the divan, remarking that there was no reason for any anxiety; that the opera tion was quite a simple one and could be learned in a few weeks by any nov ice. Despite his placidity, I suspected that his tongue and lips were burned. I was therefore surprised to see him swallow a few minutes afterward a cup of hot coffee and smoke a ciga rette, apparently without any incon venience.— Gentleman’s Magazine. Laughter iin a Cure For Worry. ■‘Nearly every woman is a miser of jollity. Men are willing to catch pleas ure as it files, but women must have everything just so before they can abandon themselves to enjoyment, and then they are usually too tired to take it,” said a lecturer to an audience of women. ‘‘lt’s a disease, but fortunate ly not incurable. Women say it is easy to talk this way, but that one can’t be laughing when one is hurried and worried. All 1 can say is that you might be as hurried, but you wouldn’t be as worried if you did laugh. 1 hap pened once to speak of my husband to a little girl, and she said: “ ‘Why, 1 didn’t think you were mar ried.’ “ ‘Why?’ I asked. “ ‘Oil, cause’ — " 'Cause why? “ ‘Cause you laugh so much? “Wasn't that a commentary on mat rimony '/’’—Chicago Times-Herald. < out:>s»«»». Through Hnndkerehiefs. Wes. n medical authorities are cru sading ; ainst the use of the handker chief. While they suggest no substi i lute, they argue that the handkerchief I must go, because it breeds disease. Dr. M. P. Fosliey, editor of the Cleve land Journal of Medicine, says: "Colds in the head and’sore throats make the rounds of whole families. The hand kerchief as usually employed Is far from being an aseptic device as it could well be. Used repeatedly and thrown in a moist condition into the same pocket, the germs must remain there from day today, reinfecting each fresh handkerchief and carrying conta gion to the mucous membrane.” Pickled Pine. The ties on the Santa Fe track in California are “pickled” in a solution of chloride of salts of zine.* There are three or four big "pickling” establish ments at intervals along the road be tween Albuquerque and Los Angeles. The process makes a pine tie immortal. In this dry atmosphere it lasts forever. Tlie Santa Fe tracks through the des erst are sprinkled with oil to keep down the dust. The oil is renewed once in three years. It costs S3O a mile, and it is worth many times the money to the passengers.—San I ran cisco Examiner. Troubleu of Her Own. "1 am so troubled about my hus band.” said Mrs. Badinan, seeking sympathy from tlie pastors wife. *He goes from bad to worse. He is an Infi del and an atheist, and now he says he is an agnostic, and doesn't know any thing, and doesn't believe anything, and doesn't think anything.” “My dear sister,” repl’ed tlie pastor’s wife, “you don’t know what trouble is.

Annuitants as a class live from three to five years longer than other people, and this is not due to human perversity, as some humorists have sug gested. It is, undoubtedly due to the lack of worry regarding the changes of fortune wlu-n a regular income is a cer tainty. Although no statistics have been col lected on the death rate in the civil service, where the yearly income almost partakes of the character of an annuity, it would perhaps be found that there is some scientific basis for President Grant's cynical observation regarding this class, “Few die and none resign.” —Ainslee’s Magazine. A Man of KeHourre. A big, uncouth looking stranger, with shoulders like a Hercules, walked into a department store late one afternoon, and, after gazing about a minute, step ped up to a salesman and made known his wish to buy a shirt. A couple of samples were shown him, and he in formed the salesman that cither one would do. It was an article that >old for $1 30, and in making payment the stranger pulled from his hip pocket a huge roll of bills. He apparently skimmed them over in search of a small bill, but he could not find one of less denomination than SSOO. One of these was handed the surprised salesman, but he arose to the occasion and sent it away with the cashboy. When the change came, it was nearly all in small bills. The stran ger interrupted the salesman in his work of counting the bills by reaching for the pile and wadding it into his hip pocket. “Oh, I guess it's all right, and you give that shirt to a porter if you can find one big enough to wear it. All I wanted was the change. You see, it was after banking hours, and I am a man of resources. Good day.’’—Phila delphia Record. Mui turn In Parvo. “John,” said the old man to his son, “I will give you £IOO to go away with. Maybe, as you don't like my business, you will find a better one.’’ Three weeks later the young man landed in New York. A month later, finding but £3 in his possession, he de termined to return home again. It was best to let his father know beforehand, but how ? A letter would be too slow, so off went John to the telegraph office. “A quarter (one shilling) a word to London, sir,” answered the polite clerk to his inquiry. “I want to tell my father I've spent all my money, and I’m sorry, and I'm coming home and want him to forgive me and a lot of other things, and I can | only pay for six words to tell him everything, ” said John. c “Cut it short,” replied the clerk.

An English farm laborer recently went to a small store kept by an old woman and asked for “a pahnd o’ ba con.” She produced the bacon and cut a piece off, but could not find the pound weight. “Oh, never mind t’ pahnd weight, ” j said he. “Ma fist just weighs a pahnd. So put ther bacon i’ t' scales.” The woman confidently placed the bacon into one side of the scales while ) the man put his fist into the other side, c • and, of course, took good care to have good weight. While the woman was wrapping the bacon up the pound weight was found, ( and, on seeing it, the man said: ( “Nah, yßu see if my fist don't just weigh a pahnd. ” The pound weight was accordingly put into one scale and the man's fist into the other, this time only just to , balance. The old woman, on seeing this, said . “Wha, I niver seed aught so near afore! Here’s a red herrin tor thee hon esty, ma lad!”—New York Tribune. Had to Get I p. Some years ago Dr. Oscar Blumen thal, the director of the Lessing theater i in Berlin, had an unpleasant experience i of the vigilance with which the author i ities carry out their duties. 1 In bis comedy, tho “Orient Reise, ” i one of the characters was afflicted with a mother-in-law of the most objection able kind. This lady died and, accord- - ing to the belief of her relatives, went f to heaven. The prospect of a fresh ac i quaintanee with his dreaded mother-in -3 law so terrified her son-in-law that ho i announced that, if this should be his - fate, “when tho resurrection comes I shan’t get tip. ” This was sufficient for the authori -1 ties. Twenty-four hours after the pro ■ duction of the piece an ominous blue envelope arrived at tho Lessing theater containing a peremptory order from the f presidi nt of piolice that the lines in * question should be immediately sup i pressed, “as being calculated to wound I the religious feelings of the lieges.”- > I Paris Herald.
