SIR JOHN SOANE'S WHIM.
Ths Practical Joke a Celebrated Man
Played on Posterity.
One of the most famous of postmor¬
tem jokes was that perpetrated by the
donor of the celebrated Soane museum
of pictures and other valuable objects
d’art to England, the late Sir John
Soane, who died in 1837. In his will
Sir John made provision for the open¬
ing of three sealed cupboards on cer¬
tain specified dates in thg presence ot
the trustees. In 18GG-that is to say,
almost thirty years after "the death of
the testator—the first of the mysterious
receptacles was with r%uch ceremony
and breaking of seals opened in the
presence of a committee of men, with
the then president of the Royal acad¬
emy, Sir F. Grant, at their head. In¬
stead of a priceless treasure or some
evidence that would throw an entirely
new light upon some doubtful incident
in political history the contents of the
cupboard proved to be worthless ac¬
counts, letters and stationery.
Twenty years passed by, and the in¬
terest that had smoldered after the
disappointment of 18GG was again
fanned into flame at the prospect of
breaking the seals of the second cup¬
board, at which rite there were pres¬
ent, among others, Dr. Alfred Water
house, R. A., and Sir (then Dr.) B. W.
Richardson. Like the cupboard men¬
tioned in the well known nursery
rhyme. Sir John’s second cabinet
proved “bare” of any sensation, the
contents being chiefly composed of let¬
ters relating to certain long forgotten
family quarrels that had not even the
merit of being interesting. If some of
those authorized to be present at the
opening of the third and last recepta¬
cle of mystery were dubious about the
profit that would accrue by letting the
light of day fall upon the contents
thereof after sixty years’ darkness, one
at least. Sir B. W. Richardson, looked
forward with unabated interest to that
day in 1896 when the last seal would
be broken and the mystery solved, but
he, alas, died just two days before the
ceremony was performed, and the fact
that Sir John had played a practical
joke upon posterity was duly confirm¬
ed by the presence of a collection of
perfectly worthless letters and papers.
THE EVIL EYE.
To Praise a Turkish Baby Is to Terrify
Its Mother.
Turkish women, even the most eu
ligbtened of them, are very supersti¬
tious. To praise a baby to its mother
is all your life is worth should the
baby happen to fall ill afterward.
The evil eye is the most common be¬
lief, and little children, who may be
dressed in the height of European
fashion otherwise, will wear under the
brim of their hats a piece of garlic or
other potent charm against the evil
eye. Nifisay Ilanoum, a woman not
only well educated, but possessed of
an unusual mind, had four children.
They were faultlessly dressed in Im¬
ported English clothes, but each of
them wore some trinket against the
evil eye. I teased her about it, and
she protested that it was not her do¬
ing. “The slaves put them on, and I
do not wish to hurt their feelings by
taking them off,” she said.
I resolved to test her enlightenment,
and the next time I saw the baby with
her I exclaimed, “What a lovely little
creature!”
“Yon wretch!” she cried. "Spit on
that child at once!”
I laughed at her manifest terror, but
hastened to add. “1 do not think her
lovely in the least, for she lias red
hair and freckles and a pug nose, but
I wanted to find out whether it was
you or the slaves who put that garlic
on your babies.”
She shrugged her shoulders. “The
slaves did it, but 1 suppose I do in the
bottom of my heart believe in the evil
eye. It Is in the blood.”—Mrs. Ken¬
neth P.rown in Metropolitan Magazine.

Hour
Its Gasoline Engine Power
It has supplanted hand-power, wind-power, horse-power and water¬
power on all up-to-date, well managed farms.
No other kind of power is to be considered for farm use or gen¬
eral use.
It so far surpasses any other available power that it is only a ques¬
tion of time when it will be in gcueral rise.
It is less expensive, less troublesome and less dangerous than steam
power; so much so, in fact, that gasoline engines are rapidly replacing
the steam engine everywhere.
THE I. H. C. GASOLINE ENGINE is the most practical engine for
farm or general use, because it is designed by experts who know the
requirements of a power for this purpose. It has few working parts,
which insures its being easily understood.
If you are a power user and are in the market for a gasoline engine,
call and let us demonstrate to you the many advantages of owning an
1. H. C. engine.
