Tlfe Watch Habit.
“Ain’t it funny how little a man
seems to use a watch and yet how he
misses one if he hasn't got it with
him?” said a man on the street ear
yesterday who had forgotten his. “I
don’t suppose I really need my watch
more than three or four times a day,”
he said. “There’s always plenty of
clocks in sight, but I must look at my
watch dozens of times without know¬
ing that I do it. I haven’t been gone
from home now more than twenty min¬
utes, and I feel as if I had left off ray
collar, and yet I know within a few
minutes of what time It is.”—Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
Preparing For It.
“Hello, Stiujay!” cried Knox. “Look¬
ing for anybody?”
“Why, yes,” replied Stiujay. “Wise¬
man was to meet me hare at G o’clock
to go home to dinner with me, and it’s
6 now.”
“Oh, he'll be along! I just saw him
finishing a porterhouse steak in that
restaurant down the street.”—Philadel¬
phia Press.
The Latest Straw.
“John,” said the woman with nine
chapeaux, “I got another new hat to¬
day.”
“My dear,” expostulated her hus¬
band, “that is the last straw.”
“I know it,” she said; “just from
Paris.”—Life.
THE ENTERPRISE COVINGTON Ga
THE TONSILS.
It Is Not Known What Purpose Thes#
Structures Serve.
The tonsils are two collections of
glandlike structures at the back part
of the mouth, one on each side, be¬
tween the pillars of the palate. It is
not known what purpose they serve.
Some have supposed that they arrest
the germs of disease which may be in¬
haled or taken in with the food, but
they evidently can catch very few of
the germs which rapidly pass them in
the food or water or in the air which
is inhaled, and it is well they cannot,
for they are themselves very suscepti
hie to disease, as some sufferers know
to their sorrow. Others have thought
they serve au evil purpose, acting as
portals of entry for many disease
germs into the body.
The tonsils are very liable to become
inflamed. This condition constitutes
tonsilitis, or, when an abscess forms,
quinsy. Young persons, over fifteen
and under thirty, are most subject to
inflammation of the tonsils, although
children and even those well along in
life may suffer. It occurs with special
frequency in those whose tonsils are
enlarged and usuallj* in persons who
are “run down” in general health or in
whom the power of resistance lias been
lowered as a result of worry or over
exertion.
The extra study in preparing for a
difficult examination in school or col¬
lege and the anxiety concerning the re¬
sult not uncommonly bring on an at¬
tack of quinsy, especially in those of a
«o called rheumatic tendency.
There are various kinds of tonsilitis.
hut the symptoms of all are quite sim¬
ilar in the beginning. The patient feels
ill, has chilly sensations, loss of appe¬
tite, more or less headache perhaps,
constipation, feverishness and a feel¬
ing of discomfort or actual pain in the
throat. Soon the fever becomes high,
the throat is dry, swallowing is pain¬
ful, there is often more or less earache,
and the patient seems seriously ill.
Suppuration may or may not occur.
The pain and throbbing are most se¬
vere when it does.
The attack lasts usually from two or
three clays to a week anil is apt to ter¬
minate quite suddenly, although if but
one tonsil has been affected recovery
may be delayed by an extension of the
inflammation to the other tonsil. In
that case the whole tiresome process
must be gone through with again.
The disease is almost always serious
enough to require the physician's care,
for the treatment calls for internal
remedies as well as local applications.
Whatever else is done, the bowels
should be kept open from the begin¬
ning of the attack.—Youth’s Compan
ion.
POINTED PARAGRAPHS.
A just complaint is au accommoda¬
tion.
Talk happiness. People get tired of
bearing of your woes.
The things you don't say cause you
less grief in this life than almost any¬
thing else.
Ever think how foolish it is to beat
a grudge? Unkind feelings have no
market value.
If you spend your time in growling
iibout an imaginary wrong, you are
apt to neglect your own shortcomings.
Every child is doomed to disappoint¬
ment. All children imagine that as
soon as they are twenty-one they will
“do as they please.”
State your views on any subject, and
if your listener says he hasn’t made up
his mind it means he disagrees with
you and hates to say so. — Atchison
Globe.
An Expensive Short Cut.
It will certainly be news to most
people, says the London Globe, that
New York is a short cut for telegrams
between London and Paris and be¬
tween London and Berlin, However,
the fact is vouched for. The messages
are received nt an agreed address in
New York and are immediately passed
on for London, Paris or Berlin, as the
case may be. The reason for this
amazing roundabout to save time is
curious. New York time being about
six hours behind European time, its
wire connections with Europe are al¬
most unoccupied during the London
forenoon, while during the same time
European wires are of ton congested.
^ ia New York, therefore, is a “short
cut,” but an expensive one.

WHY SILHOUETTE.
A Curious Bit of History Wrapped
Up In the Word.
The making of silhouettes can hard¬
ly be classed among the lost arts, since
there Is so little art about them. The
best of them represent the human pro¬
file in a crude Avay, and they were re¬
garded as rather a cheap kind of pic¬
tures even in the days when they were
most popular. Indeed, the very word
silhouette means something poor and
cheap, and it had its origin in a spirit
of ridicule. It is taken from Etienne
tie Silhouette, who was a French cab
iuet minister in the year 1759, when
the treasury of France was very low
because of costly wars with Britain
and Frussia and by the extravagances
of the government. When Etienne do
Silhouette became minister of finance
he set about making great reforms in
the public expenditures. He was by
nature a verv “close” man and he
went to s^ich extremes in keeping 5
down the public expenses that he
brought great ridicule upon himself,
and finally anything that was cheap
and poor was referred to as a la Sil¬
houette.
A very crude picture was popular at
that time. It was made by tracing the
shadow or profile of a face projected I
by the light of a candle on a sheet of
white paper ana the outline doiined
With a pencil. Tins was such a very
poor and cheap »„rt or picture that
it T\as at once called a silhouette in 1
further derision Illusion nf or the me verv very saving I !
French minister, and the name has
“stuck.” It Is an instance of the curi¬
ous derivatiou of some words in com¬
mon use, and this unkind slur on a
man who was really trying to intro¬
duce needed reforms in the spending
of the public money has long been ac¬
cepted as a good and proper word. In¬
deed, there is no other word used for
pictures of this kind, although there
were such pictures long before M. Eti¬
enne de Silhouette had his name at¬
tached to them in so embarrassing a
way.—Morris Wade in Century.
