He was bolding forth with ear nestness on some theme to a group of friends when that man you see over there_by the cigar counter pushed his way through the crowd, grasped Reed by the hand and said effusively: 'Hello, Tom. old boy! How do you do? “Reed responded in a manner that was more of a shake for the man than for his hand and went on with his talk. When our friend over there had edged out of the crowd, someone said: ‘You didn’t seem to be happy over him, Reed. Who is your friend, anyway?’ “Reed drawled out, ‘He’s a fellow from New York -who knows more men who don’t want to know him than any other man In the United States.’ ’’—De troit Free Press. _ Thrifty Squanderers. When Napoleon entered Genoa In 1805, the rich patricians of the city exerted themselves to gain the favoi of the conqueror by all sorts of flat tering attentions. The most elaborate of these was a banquet patterned after the famous one offered by Antony to Cleopatra. The tables were set in an artificial garden, floating on pontoons, which were towed out to sea during the projp ress of the feast. At the conclusion ol the banquet—again in imitation of An tony and Cleopatra—all the costly golf and silver plate was flung into the sea This little tribute of honor to the cm peror was not so expensive as it seem ed, for the floating garden was sur rounded with nets, and the plate war subsequently recovered.

Phone liifc THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 33, 1903.' THE ELDER SOTHERN. •A Connie of the Celebrated Come. tUnn'e Practical Jokes. Many stories are told of Sot hern's original methods of entertaining his friends ftt dinner, and possibly the most amusing is that of the belated guest. When, late in the dinner, this friend was announced, Mr. Sothern ex claimed, “Let us all hide under tho table,” and down they all went save Mr. Sothern himself, who remained seated. When the tardy guest entered. Mr. Sothern rose and received him with exquisite courtesy, saying, “When your name was announced, my guests, for some unaccountable reason, all hid under the table.” After a few mo meats of discomfort one by one they crept out and back to their seats. I heard from both Ylr. Sothern and Mrs. Viuceut this account of an out burst of fun at a dinner given by him Id his parlor at the Revere House: A the guests, ten in number, were gath ered about the open fire before dinnot a stout, pompous waiter, afflicted with short breath, added the last touches to his dinner table, already spread. Ten large, square pieces of bread were placed with mathematical precision one at each plate, and then he left th room to bring the wine. Mr. Sothern saw ills opportunity and, calling his dog, cried: “Tiger, the breadl Quick, Tiger!” And the nimble little gray hound bounded lightly upon the tabls again and again as he heard his mas ter’s Imperative “Fetch the bread!” until each piece had been removed te a dark corner near the fire. -. Upon the waiter’s return all was si lence. The expectant look upon Mr. Sotliern's face showed only that dinner was awaited. Standing for a moment, bewildered, the waiter, seeing no bread upon the table, hesitatingly turned to thp door, then retraced his steps t the table, examined it carefully and hurriedly left the room. He soon re appeared with a fresh plate of bread, and again at each plate a piece was carefully placed, and he retired with the empty plate. “Quick, Tiger! Fetch it aga n! More bread! More breadl” And once more each piece was re moved before the grave waiter reap peared, and all were again silent. One look at the table and cue at the guests, and there remained no doubt. These poor, hungry actors had eaten It! With a look of contempt he an nounced dinner, and after all were safely seated at the table be brought u tLird piate of bread and with a fork placed it, with a gesture of scorn, Piece by piece for each person and for ti e host. The merry scene soon dis armed bis hostility, and before the e\ enirg was over the bread in the cor ner was revealed.—Mrs. Lucy Derby Fuller in Century. Bteasles nail Ammonia. A Detroit woman who labors among the poor children of thg. city was tell ing her experiences. “One day there was a death in the neighborhood; a little girl died, and the children were visibly impressed. They tol I me about it in unison. “ ‘lt was better for her, wasn’t It, missus?’ one little girl said philosoph ically. “ ‘What was the trouble?’ I asked. “ ‘Oh,” another spoke up, ‘she had measles and ammonia on the lungs and a lot i.f things.’ “I was of course deeply impressed by tho ‘lots of things,’ but more so by the ‘ammonia on the lungs.' ’’—Detroit Free I’ress. roiii-lli Century Shorthand. That shorthand was used in the an cient world Is well known, but our in formation is still scanty, and any ad dition 1b welcome. It may therefore be worth knowing that there is In tliq , Armenian “Acts of St. Callistratus” i a reference to the employment of ste nography. A translation of this is in cluded in Mr. F. C. Conybeare’s “Ar menian Apology and Acts of Apollo- . nlu sand Other Monuments of Early Clulstiaulty-.”- The account of Cal llstratus was probably written In the firs: half of the fourth century. It In- j cinder several long addresses of Calli- | stn tvs to Ills fellow soldiers In expla nation of the mysteries of the new faith for which he and forty-nine of his comrades became martyrs. Per haps with a view to giving them au thority r.s verbatim reports, the com piler says; “But there was a certain scribe of the lav. court who was near to the prison, aud he listened to the discourse of Callistratus, and he wrote it down In shin; hand on paper and gave It to us, ana we set in erder with all ac curacy thp record and outline of his thought” Thaukurnr'i Facial Appearance. j In 1340 or 1850 Charlotte Bronte j wrote of Thackeray: “To me the broad j brow so°ms to express intellect Cer- j tain lit is about the nose and cheek be tray tlii satirist and the cynic; the 1 mouth indicates a childlike simplicity, j perhaps eveu a degree of irresolutt-ness ! in consistency—weakness, in short, but j p, weakness not unamiable.” And Mr. Motley, writing to his wife in 1858, said: “I believe you have never seen Thackeray. lie lias the appearance of a colossal infant—smooth, white, shin ing, ringlety hair, flaxen, alas, with ad vancing years; a roundish face with a little lab of a nose, upon which it is a perpetual wonder how he keeps hU spectacles.” Thin broken nose was always a source of amassment to Thackeray himself. ITe caricatured it in his drawing, lio fre jnently alluded to it in bis speech anc in his letters, and he was fond of repeating Douglas Jerrold’s remark to him when he was to stand as godfather to 1 friend’s son, “Lord, Thackeray, 1 hope you won’t present the child with voir own mug!” 1 equites Tie labor co wash clothes ,r> “Lavudura;” just put two table s'. oonsii’l in a large tub of water; let the clothes soak in the treated water nii nig!-'; they will be cleaner, than voa can wash them by hand; no rub lirasr; no scrubbing: nothing fades j Uhirg shrinks: just rinse them on* in clear v/atcr; that Is all. clean without danger of scratching Crockeryware, silverware, tinwarq glassTwre caa be washed beautifully with L&vadura, PICTURESQUE BRiTTANY. ‘ A .Market Scene In Thla Quaint French Province.

Many years ago some admirers at Lord Ryon raised u subscription for I monument to the poet, to be placed It Westminster abbey. Chantrey was re quested to execute It, but on account of the smallness of the sum subscribed he declined, and Thorwaldsen wai theu arplied to and cheerfully under took the work. In about 1833 the finished statue ar rived at the custom house in Loudon, but, to the astonishment of tho sub scribers, the dean of Westminster, Dr. Ireland, decliued to give permissiou to have it set up in the abbey, and, owing to this difficulty, which proved insur mountable, for Dr. Irelaud’s successor was of the same opinion, It remained for upward of twelve years In the cus tom house, when (1840) it was re moved to the library of Trinity col lege, Cambridge. The poet is represented in the statue of the s-te of life, seated on a ruin, with his left foot resting on the frag ment of a column. In his right band he holds a style up to his mouth; In his .'eft a book, inscribed "Child# Harold.” He is dressed In a frock coat and cloak Beside him on the left Is a gkull, above which Is lhe Athenian owl.

The Kiugman Leader-Courier tells of an early day county surveyor in King man ccunty, Kan., who neither pos sessed any instruments nor could have used them if he had. His method of measuring land was to tie his ankles . together with a cord that was just (ong enough to allow him to step one- Ufth of a rod each time, and thus hob bled he would strike out, counting his steps until he had made a sufficient number to cover the desired distance. The cord or string used by him lu fastening his legs together, says the Lender-Courier, was made of raw hide, so that when he was traveling through .he grass of a morning when the dev was ou It would become wet and stretch nearly a foot, and so his steps were much longer ot a morning than tiny were of an evening after the r;un Uaii dried the whang leather and shorten;!- it.
