Coolness and Common Sense of the
Late Ameer.
The late ameer of Afghanistan
once received his European dentist
Sh open court and asked him there
and then to look at his teeth. There
was one old stump which was giv
ing him much pain, and the dentist
suggested to the ameer that he
should take “laughing gas” and
have it out. The ameer asked what
the effect of the‘gas would be and,
icing told, said, “I cannot risk be
ing a dead man for five seconds,
my.ch less five minutes.” So, with
the whole Afghan court looking on
and a regiment of the escort as well,
the dentist hud to struggle with the
difficult stump while the ameer silt,
sever moving a muscle. The ameer
was a man of strong common sense,
and this most valuable quality once
saved a war between England and
Russia. When, after the Pendjeh
incident, the ameer went over the
iq^der of his country into India to
meet the viceroy, there was a mo
ment when peace and war hung on
a man’s word. The viceroy told the
ameer that the Ruariuns had taken
Afghan territory, that England had
guaranteed him against such ag
gression and that England was pre
pared to fulfill its pledge. The
ameer sat Jn the tent and pulled his
board and then asked for a*nup of
Afghanistan. When one'was brought,
he asked that the territory seized
should be pointed out to him. Ho

that had been taken and then swept
his hand over the great space that
represented the rest of his kingdom.

it is not worth making a great war

Anecdotes About Dorothy Drew.
Many interesting stories are told
of ‘little Dorothy Drew, thje favorite
granddaughter of Gladstone. Quito
a host of notabilities have entered
their names on Dorothy’s list of
friends. She coaxed an amazing
autograph out of Li Hung Chang
and has met Rudyard Kipling in
one of his happiest moods. They
had been in the grounds together
when Mrs. Drew appeared. “Now,
Dorothy, I hope you have not been'
wearying Mr. Kipling,” said her
mother, and Dorothy, the soul of
frankness and honor, replied: “Oh,
not a bit, mother. But he has been
wearying me/’ When no other pow
er on earth could tempt Gladstone
from his books, Dorothy .never
pleaded in vain. He must have
talked to her a great deal of Arme
nia, for Dorothy asked just after
his death, “Do you think the Turks
will be sorry grandpa is dead ?” and
to have added sadly, “I know the
Armenians will.”
Sulphurlo Acid For 8nake Bites.
Those who fear snakes or live
where snakes are found will find
comfort in the assurance of Dr.
John H. Henry of Montgomery that
sulphuric acid is a specific. Dr.
Henry says: .
^The poison of animals and snakes
is intensely alkaline, and sulphuric
acid taken internally and injected
hypodermically, diluted or pure, in
the fang puncture immediately kills
the poison. This discovery was giv
en by a gentleman who says he nas
been bitten by snakes and insects
over a hundred times. This gentle
man takes delight in keeping snakes
in his room running all about. Six
weeks ago he was bitten in the foot
by his big rattler. He immediately
used hypodermically the acid, and it
did not swell or give him any trou
ble. Ho says ho fears no poison of
animal, snake or insect bites if ho
has his acid with him.”—New York
Times.
Fiddles Without Hands.
In Atlanta, a small town in Jlli-
nois, lives Frank Clawson, a fiddler
whose chief bid for fame lies in the
fact that ho is without hands. Sev
eral years ago he was caught in a
blizzard, and both hands were so
badly frozen that they were ampu
tated at the wrist. Being some
what of a mechanical genius, he
evolved a contrivance out of heavy
wire which enabled him to wield
the how. The matter of fingering
was more difficult, but by hard prac
tice he trained the stump oi his
left hand to make the necessary
shifts from one string to another
and from position to position. With
the fiddle held in place by his chin
a l nd knees and with the help of his
fingerless arms Clawson manages to
play the old time airs with nearly as
much success as formerly.
Fruit For Rheumatism.
The use of fruit diminishes acid
ity and antagonizes rheumatism.
The acids in fruits undergo changes
which diminish the acidity of the
blood and aid in the elimination of
rheumatic acid.
The .most digestible fruits aro
ripe grapes, peaches, strawberries,
apricots, oranges, very ripe pears,
figs, dates, baked apples and stewed
fruits.
A dietary consisting wholly of
fruits is a valuable means of over
coming biliousness.
Such a dietary may be maintain
ed for one or two days a week.
A modified fruit dietary is highly
beneficial.
The most laxative fruits are ap
ples, figs, prunes and peaches.—
