HOLLAND MUSTARD.
Come of the Virtues Ascribed to It and
One Way to Make It.
Hollanders use enormous quantities
of mustard and thrive on the condi¬
ment. There is a small spot In Overys
sel, I think it is near Goor, where the
laud slopes gently down to the river
ljsel and is a brown gray clay. This is
fashioned into the cutest little jugs
you ever saw, holding about si pint
each, and the genuine Dutch mustard,
made only in that pocket borough, ac¬
cording to a secret process handed
down for many generations, is hermet¬
ically sealed therein. It will keep for
years and is as delicious as the finest
confection. It is butter, cheese aiul
condiment to the Hollanders who can
afford it. And there is no other place
on earth where that mustard can he
bought.
You might ask, “Why do the Hol¬
landers cat so much mustard?” The
answer is: The Holland mustard is a
most delightful stomach stimulant. “It
makes the food slide down.” It cures
the worst cases of dyspepsia. It keeps
the liver in fine shape. It is an anti¬
dote for the most deadly poison—cor¬
rosive sublimate. It is in large doses
a non-nauseating emetic. It is the only
couuterirritant handed down to us by
our grandmothers—the mustard plas¬
ter. The Dutch girls use it sparingly
on their velvet cheeks to give a rosy
complexion. When a person is down
and nearly out a drink made of pure
mustard and oil will fetch him around.
A mustard ‘ loop” is a certain cure
for catarrh in the nasal cavit’- -
Here is one Dutch method of pre
paring mustard for the table: Mix
equal portions of black and white
seeds and grind to a fine powder. Boil
this in the best vinegar till thoroughly
mixed. Grate some fresh horseradish,
squeeze out the juice and add to the
mustard. Then put in a little salt, &
little sugar, a little turmeric, a little
fenugreek and a little white honey.
You will eat this on your bread, cake,
pie, batterenkes and waffles, your
meats, fish, game and poultry.—New
York Press.
PRESENCE OF MIND.
A Madhouse Doctor's Experience With
His Crazy Cocks.
A celebrated Scotch physician tells a
story of a madhouse doctor whose
presence of mind alone saved his life:
“A great friend of mine was for a
considerable time the medical superin¬
tendent of a lunatic asylum near Glas¬
gow.
“One night in malting his customary
rounds he had occasion to visit the pa¬
tients in the kitchen, who were pre¬
paring the dinner. There were seven
of them, ail big, sturdy fellows, who
were believed to be harmless. The
keeper only looked in upon them now
and again, feeling that his constant
presence was unnecessary.
“ The doctor unlocked the iron barred
THE ENTERPRISE COVINGTON GA
door of the kitchen and went in
among the lunatics.
“There were live large boilers con¬
taining scalding water ready for mak¬
ing the day’s dinner for the patients.
“One of the lunatics pointed at the
boilers full of hot water and, laying
his hand upon the doctor’s shoulder,
said, ‘Doctor, you’ll make a fine pot
of broth.’ And the words had no soon¬
er been uttered than the other six mad¬
men shouted in a voice of delight,
‘Just the thing,’ and, seizing the doc¬
tor, were in the very act of putting
him into one of the large boilers of
scalding water when the doctor had
the presence of mind to say, but not a
second too soon:
“ ‘Capital broth! Bat it would taste
better if I took my clothes off.’
“The madmen, with a yell of delight.
said ‘Yes,’ i * the doctor asked them
to wait a moment while he went and j
took his clothes off. But as soon as he
got out of the kitchen he turned the
key in the door and ordered the keep¬
er to see to the lunatics being put un¬
der restraint.
“The doctor's presence of mind saved
him, it is true, from a terrible death,
but he died shortly after raving mad.
The experience bad destroyed his rea¬
son.”

GOT HIS MONEY.
The New Depositor Made Quick Work
With His Check Book.
During a financial stringency a
Swedish farmer in one of the middle j I
west states had sold some hogs on the
local market and upon receiving his
check in payment immediately went to
the local hank to realize on his sale.
Upon presentment of the check the
banker said to him, “Do you wish the
money on this check?”
“Veil, I tank I yust so veil take him,”
was the rjuick reply.
“You really want the money?”
“Yah; 1 tank I take the mon-e.”
“But do you really need the money?’’
asked tUe banker.
“Veil, no; I don’t exactly need him,
hut I tank I take the mon-e.”
“Well,” said the banker, “if you real
^ want the money of course I will
give it to you, but I thought if you
did not need it perhaps you might open
an account and deposit the money and
then check against it as you needed
it.”
“Den ven I send my checks here you
vill refuse to pay dem.”
“Oh, no, we won’t. If you open the
account, we will pay your checks
whenever they come in.”
Tliis seemed assuring te the Swede,
and he said. “Veil, if yea pays my
shocks, den I open de a nt.” And

the account was opened and passbook {

No Need of Them Seme Day.
At a monthly examination a boy of
fourteen failed to spell 13 per cent of
his words correctly. The tutor told
him this was surprising and must not
happen again. The boy replied that he
thought lie had done pretty well on
the whele.
“You must study those words over
and over again,” replied the tutor,
“ihis must not occur at any future
time. Study them so that j'ou can re
member them forever.”

MARS’ SEASONS.
Vital In the Vegetative Economy of
the Planet’s Year.
Were Mars not an old planet, cor¬
roborating by absence of cloud the
general course of planetary develop¬
ment, our knowledge of it would have
been slight. To begin with, it enables
us to ma.x the permanency in place of
the planet’s features and so to time
their axial rotation, by which we come
to knowledge of the planet’s day. This
day proves to differ little from our
own in duration, being 24 hours 40
! minutes long instead of 24 hours. Next
it discloses the tilt of the axis to the
planet’s orbital plane, a relation which
causes the seasons of the year, Now,
the Martian tilt as well as the Martian
time of rotation turns out to be singu¬
larly like our own, being, in fact, 24
degrees as against 21114 degrees for the
earth. The year of Mars, however, is
twice ours in length, which, joined to
great eccentricity of orbit, gives it di
versifledly long seasons. Thus in the
northern hemisphere spring lasts 199
days, summer 1S3, autumn 147 and
winter 1;>S, while in its southern hemi¬
sphere the figures stand reversed.
The numbers have more than aea
demic importance, for absolute length
Is as vital a factor in a season's in¬
fluence as the fact of the season itself.
Much may he brought to pass in twice
the time which could not develop in
the shorter period, and it is not a little
interesting that precisely this possibil
:lj r actually turns out to lie vital in
| the vegetative economy of the planet's

Barnum's Ready Retort.
Barnum once appeared at Oxford to
lecture cn “Humbug.” The rowdy
students would not give him a hear¬
ing. At length, in a momentary lull,
he shouted. “Then yon don’t want to
iicar anything about humbu"?”
“We don’t!” was the answer in
roar. a
“Well,” retorted Barnum, “I’ve got
your money, and there’s no humbug
about that!”
The disturbance came to a sudden
finish, and Barnum proceeded in peace.
