j How Bismarck Coaid Drlak.
Count Andraaay’s story of an inter
view he had with Bismarck is as fol
lows:
"Bismarck had two immense mugs
of beer brought to us. He took one of
them and shoved the other over to me.
I remarked that I drank only water.
He looked at me in silence, curiously
and almost suspiciously for a minute
and then proceeded with the subject
under discussion. The more interested
he became in our conversation the more
frequently and ooptonsly he drank.
After finishing his own mug he appro
priated miftawithout a word and put
down its oontebts in three or four tre
mendous drafts. Theta he had a servant
fetch and fill two enormous pipes.
Wbep he offered me one of them, I ex
plainedthat I never smoked.
•' ‘WhatP he cried, ‘neither drink
nor smoke? What kind of a supernatural
man are you aftiy way?’
“It Was a mercy to both of us, how
ever, that I did not accept the pipe, for
Bismarck smoked so incessantly that
within 15 minutes the air in the room
was dense. When I rose at the end of
the evening from the table at which we
Were sitring, the smoke was so thick
that I could hardly see the chancellor’s
face. ”
A Convincing Argnment.
A correspondent sends us the follow
ing story from Mississippi: Counsel for
the defense was addressing a country J.
P. of the “old school.” Said he: “I
realize that I stand in the presence of a
descendant of Hie grand old Huguenot
family that emigrated from France to
escape from religious Intolerance. Many
able jurists have sprung from that fam
ily and embellished the bench and bar
of the tJnion. Their watchwords are
honor, truth and justice, and their
games are spoken in every home. The
law is ho plain in this case that ’he who
runs may read.* Shall I insult the in
telligence of this cctart by reiterating a
proposition so simple? Need I say
more”— “No,” interrupted the judge,
“ ’tain’t necessary. I’ll give you »
judgment” Counsel sat down while the
judge, with emphasis, knocked the ashes
from hfaoob pipe, and counsel for plain
tiff began: "May ft please the court”-
“Squire, what are you fixin to do?”
asked the judge. “I have the closing
argument,” was the reply. "Well, you
jee’ as well set down. I done got my
mind sot on the other side. Judgment
for defendant. ’ ’ —Law Notes.
Value of Cheese Food.
Cheese is a very rich and valuable
food, likely to form a very large con
stituent in the future and, especially
for the workingman, to be very exten
sively used. There is a difference in
stomachs in their ability to digest this
article.
The write* is able to make an entire
meal of cheese, with very little bread,
and digest it more easily than rice or
oatmeal, but in most stomachs it is less
digestible, in some extremely so. Each
person must learn for himsetlf. It is a
convenient form of animal food and,
when good, particularly agreeable.
There is a great difference in the com
position v of cheese both in its water, fat
and nitrogenous matter. In general,
however, it may be remarked that
every variety contains a large amount
of nitrogenous matter, and it is for this
that it is especially useful as a food.
Skimmilk cheese is especially rich in
this constituent, but less rich in fat
Those who abstain from flesh food will
find in cheese abundance of nitrogenous
matter to take the place of that found
in flesh.—London Family Doctor.
Othello Whitewashed.
Othello is the latest historic disrepu
table to have a good character establish
ed. Italian papers claim certain manu
script j concerning the Moor have been
found in the archives of a convent in
Venice. They are notes taken in 1542
by a Cretan diplomat sent on a mission
to the republic of Venice. The writer
knew Othello well and vouches for the
fact that the lady was never killed at
all. In fact, she survived Othello, died
a natural death and gave the coroner no
trouble at all. So that there never was
a tragedy of the moor of Venice.
Peffer’s Potatoes.
Senator Peffer is fond of telling how
he once duped the managers of a Kansas
county fair. "On examination of the
sweet potatoes exhibited, ” he says, “I
saw that the size of the specimens was
nothing to brag of, and I sent out to a
grocery store and purchased a bushel of
fine ones; took the small ones out for
home use, carried the rest to the fair
grounds, entered them in my own name
and drew the premium for the best
specimen of sweet potatoes grown in
Wilson county.”

DICK'S GOOD TIME.
A Very Human Boy Enjoying His Well
Earned Howard.
A portly gentleman sat on the porch
and smiled while a small boy, also
smiling, painted the front fence.
“Look at that boy,” the portly man
remarked to a Visitor. “He thinks he
is having a good time. A small boy is
surely the drollest creature on earth.
When I was a youngster, I remember
that there were certain kinds of work X
considered play, and one of them was
painting. I was always crazy to paint
Many times I have taken a bucket of
muddy water and an old paint brush
and have spent a whole half day put
ting a thick coat on the side of my fa
ther’s barn.
“So with my boy Dick, the little
chap painting the fenoa He has always
been crazy to paint He is enjoying
himself now—you can see he is, and he
will paint that where fence, too, just
as well as he knows how. I don’t care
if it is a trifle smeared. He’s getting
joy, solid joy, thicker than the paint
on his hands and clothes.
“There’s a mean side to it too. He
wanted to paint the fence, and I wanted
the weeds pulled out of the yard. So,
like an underhanded rascal, I bargained
with him. I told him that if he would
pull all the weeds out I would let him
paint the fence. He went through the
other job like a soldier—he hates to
.pull weeds; all boys do—and now he
thinks he is getting his reward. It is a
downright shame to fool him that way,
don’t you think so?”
The portly gentleman chuckled again,
and the small boy, wild with joy, went
on plastering paint on the fence.—De
troit Free Press.
Crossing the Threshold.
Crossing the threshold was and is
the most critical period of the wedding
day with all races, not even excepting
the Anglo-Saxon.
• The superstitions fears of the many,
always particularly alert on the occa
sion of a marriage, culminate in this
final act of the drama. The lifting of
the bride over the threshold or her step
ping across it is the signal in Persia,
Arabia and among the Copts of Egypt
for the sacrifice of a goat or a sheep
Among the Aenezes, according to
Burckhardt, the bridegroom simply
kills a lamb in front of his father-in
law’s tent, and the ceremony, but for
the running of the bride from one tent
to another, is complete. Perhaps the
purest symbolical act is that of the
Transylvanian Saxon bridal pair, who
step over the threshold with their hands
tied together. Some of these Transyl
vanian customs are remarkable and
must be survivals from a very ancient
period. The bridegroom never wears
the shirt made for him by the bride ex
cept on his wedding day and at his
burial, just as the veil of the Japanese
bride becomes one day her shroud.-
London Spectator.
He Got the Mustard.
It was in the army. The boys had a
meal of beef that had been corned by a
bath in a salt horse barrel. It was quite
a treat They all thought so until one
of the party remarked, “A little mus
tard wouldn’t go bad. ”
“That reminds me,” said another.
“Yon just wait a few minutes.” A
quarter of an hour later he returned
and, producing a screw of paper, be
said: “Oh, yes. Here’s that mustard. ”
"Where did you get it?” said the
others in chorus.
"Up at the surgeon’s. The sick call,
you remember, sounded as we were
talking about the mustard. It occurred
to me that a little mustard for my lame
back would be just the thing. ”
"But you haven’t got any lame
back.”
“But 1 have got the mustard.” -

STREET GAMIN IN REAL LIFE.
Mot So Noble la Character aa the Stery
Writew Plctare Mian.
“I have read a good many stories,”
said the city man, “about the honest
newsboy who chases a man three blocks
to return the |6 goldpieoe given in
mistake tor a nick.i, the sympathetie
bootblack who protects the widow’s
son, or the heroic street gamin who
gets ran over by a dray while rescuing
another boy and murmurs, ‘ls Jimmy
all right?’ and then dies I have come
to the conclusion that these stories are
written by girts fresh from school or
refined old maids who live in a village,
and they are read by men who thought
fully stick the tongue into the cheek
while reading. Yet there are men who
read and believe.
"I saw one of this class the other day
who went to tho rescue of a bootblack
who was trying to fix his broken box.
“ ‘My lad,’ mid tho good man—they
always call them ‘lads’ in these stories
—’you are in trouble. Let me assist
you.’
“Then he knelt on the sidewalk in
his good clothes, used a half brick for
a hammer, raked up some twine from
his pocket and after 15 minutes’ hard
work made a creditable job. Mean
while about 80 street boys gathered
around. One slipped a piece of old iron
into his pocket, the grateful bootblack
with a bit of chalk decorated his back
with a hideous caricature, his hat was
knocked into the gutter as he arose,
and one of the boys accused him of
stealing a ‘dabber. *
“The man flushed with natural in
dignation, and immediately there arose
a whoop of derision, and as he strode
away he was guyed by the whole crowd
for two blocks. While in this frame of
mind it would have done him good to
have interviewed some of the ladies
who write the picturesque tales about
the imaginary street boys.”—Chicago
Times-Herald.
PANBESA’S LETTER.
Au Account of an Egyptian City Thirty
Centuries Ago.
Probably the oldest letter tn the
world is the letter of Panbesa, written
15 centuries before Christ to his friend
Amenemapt, a scribe.
The manuscript It of perishable papy
rus, and it is amazing that it should
have survived for more than 80 cen
turies and still be legible.
‘ It is preserved in the collection of the
British museum. It has been several
times translated during the present cen
tury. It presents an interesting picture
of life in Egypt in the time of Barneses
IL It is more in the nature of a literary
production, a poem composed in cele
bration of the visit of Pharaoh to the
city of Pa-Rameses, than an ordinary
letter of today.
Panbesa “greets his lord, the scribe
Amenemapt, to whom be life, health
and strength,” and then goes on to de
scribe the verdant fields, the thrashing
floors, the vineyards, the groves of
olives, the orchards of figs, the great
daily markets, with their fish and wa
terfowl and swarms of purchasers.
The citizens had their “sweet wine
of Kherni, pomegranate wine and wine
from the vineyards,” and to these they
added “beer of Kati.”
There was music in plenty furnished
by the singers of the school of Memphis.
On the whole, Pa-Rameses seems to
have been a pleasant plaoe to live in.
“The lesser folk are there equal with
the great folk,” and Panbesa writes
that its maidens were “in holiday at
tire every day” with looks “redolent
of perfumed oil. ” —Washington Star.
A Method In HU Manner.
It was raining cats and dogs outside,
and the Columbus avenue car was
crowded. A young woman stood looking
from one seated man to another, but the
men would not budge. She looked tim
idly, then appealingly, then daggers,
but they did not care.
Finally the worst dressed and rough
est looking man in the car got up.
“Here is a seat for you, mum,” he
said suavely.
“Oh, thank you ever so much,” said
the young lady, shooting glances at the
other men which said, “You are gentle
men, but this uneducated laborer could
give you a lesson in mamnera. ”
Presently she was sb ifting about on
her seat, shielding now her face, now
her white stand up col lax and looking,
with a troubled face, nt a point in the
ceiling from which the water came
down at irregular intervals in splashes
as big as a cent
The well dressed men buriod their
smiles in their newspapers. The labor
er, now ensconced in a corner near the
driver, gave his vis-a-vis a wink.—-New
York Commercial Advertiser.
GooMberrioa on Trees.
Travelers in Burma see many strange
things, and perhaps one of the strangest
is the way in which some kinds of fruit
grow.
For instance, gooseberries that at
home grow on small bushes in this part
of the world grow on trees over 25 feet
high. They are not a soft, pulpy* fruit,
but are as hard as marbles.
The real Burman grapes also grow
on high trees and not on vines. They
hang from the branches and trunk of
the tree in clusters on a long stalk and
are covered with a thick oute r skin,
which cannot be eaten-
The cachou, or monkey nut, is also
peculiar and consists of a large, juicy
fruit of soft pulp, with its nut or kernel
attached to the outside of the fruit at
the end farthest from the stalk from
which it hangs.—London Standairi.
