Draw Corka Bully.
If 7011 want to amuse friends at- an
evening party, tell them that yon can
draw a cork out of any bottle 'without
a corkscrew. Of course -'they will
laugh, but very soon It will be your
turn to laugh.
Take a piece of sealing wax and hold
one end of It over a lamp or gas jet un
til It becomes soft; then let some drops
of the wax fall on the cork In the bot
tle. As soon as the cork Is covered
with wax you must press the piece
which you hold In your band against
the cork, and you must hold It there
until the wax Is quite dry. Then it
will be easy for you to draw out th
cork by using the stick of wax, whicb
adheres to it In the same manner as
you would use a screw.
No matter how firmly fixed the cork
may be, It will almost immediately
yield to the pressure. You must, how
ever, take care not to wrench the stick
of wax away from it while you are
drawing it out, and you must also see
that the cork is perfectly dry before
you pour any wax on it
Bengal Tiger.
The man eater is usually an older
tiger, whose strength is failing and
whose teeth have partly lost their
sharpness. Such a beast finds it easier
to lurk in the vicinity of settlements
and to pick up an occasional man, wo
man or child than to run down wild
cattle.
The largest, fiercest and most bright
ly colored tigers are found in the prov
ince cf Bengal, near the mouths of
the Ganges river and not far from
Calcutta. A full grown Bengal tiger
sometimes measures ten feet from nose
to tip of tail. Such a monster makes
no more account of springing upon a
man that a cat does of seizing a mouse.
He surpasses the lion in strength and
ferocity and has no rival among beasts
of prey except the grizzly bear and the
recently discovered giant bear of Alas
ka. St. Nicholas.
The Forgotten Dot.
A wedding took place a short time
back In a large town in the north of
England, tho service being conducted
by a rather eccentric vicar. Two days
after the ceremony he called at the
house of the bridegroom's mother, but
she happened to be out, bo he said he
would call again, which he did later on
In the day, carrying two large green
bags under his arm.
This time he found her In. So ho be
gan, by asking them to clear the table
a little. Then he opened the green
bags, from which he took the registers.
These he opened and in a most solemn
tone said:
"Mrs. Williams, you have forgotten
to dot the "i" in Elizabeth."
The family breathed once more.
The Checkreln.
The overcheck bears about the same
relation to the horse as the county jail
does to human society. In case of tho
trotting horse it seems that some de
vice must be used in order to compel
a horse to carry Its head out almost in
a line with its neck, so that the curv-
, ature of the latter at the throttle will
not cramp the windpipe or shut oil
the horse's wind. In case of the run
ning horse it naturally extends the
head and neck without artificial aid.
This Is because the gallop is the horse's
natural gate, while the trot is artificial
when it comes to extreme speed.
Hence the overcheck is needed. In the
Utility horses the choekroin Is never
needed. Field and rami.
The tSreeiilnntl Shark.
The Greenland shack Is well known
08 a foe to whalers. It will follow a
dead whale to the ship and show no
fear of the men while they are engaged
In cutting up the prey, biting out lumps
from it as big as a man's head. Some
times it happens that a man will full
off the slippery side of the whale close
by the shark, but the latter never at
tacks him, being Intent upon gorging
itself with the flesh of the cetacean.
The most severe wounds from thrusts
of the whalers' knives will not per
suade it to desist This species of shark
is often partly or wholly blinded by a
parasitic worm three inches long which
fastens itself at the corner of the eye
and lives on Its fluids.
Right Doing.
One's rightful work is often halted
by fear of what others will say about
it. This may be even more a barrier
to tho work than the fear tf not doing
the work at all. It takes courage to
do what we believe we ought to do,
When we thiuk we shall be criticised
or misunderstood or scorned. Hut the
real calamity lies in not doing what
we ought. Of this it is well to have
60 strong a fear that we shall have
courage to face whatever others may
say of our right doing.
When Coins Were Ftr.t .Made,
Certain passages in the "Iliad" of Ho
mer would lead to the inference that
coins of brass were struck as early
as 11S4 B. C. Tradition alllrnis that
the Chinese had bronze coins as early
ns 1120 B. C. But Herodotus, '.'the
father of history," ascribes the "inven
tion" of coins to the Lydians, about
nine centuries B. C, and there is no
satisfactory evidence that coins were
known prior to that date.

Mary Manners was at war with her
self and with all the world. Will
Voight found that this was not a case
whore "present company is excepted."
"Xo," she said and shook her head so
decidedly that certain rebellious curls
bobbed in her eyes. "No, I don't want
to go to the theater. I want to be
alone and to think. Who could think
in a hot, stuffy theater? We will go
to the park."
He ventured to hint that even his
presence might be a bar to the flow
of thought
"I could not go alone, stupid! It
wtould not be proper."
"Or interesting."
She flashed him a look, and he sub
sided. The park looked cold and rather
gloomy, but her sigh of satisfaction
"OH, IT'S GOINO INTO THE WATER 1 SAVE
IT I SAVB IT!"
was quite ecstatic as she cried, "Oh, I
do Tove the park!"
"So do I In summer."
"But now, when thfe breath of spring
is in the air."
"More winter than spring in this
air," he retorted grimly. "There Is a
lot of ice still in these sheltered walks,
so do let me help you."
But she refused his proffered hand
and stepped daintily along. She even
hummed a fragment of a gay dance
tune. Evidently her spirits were ris
ing in proportion as his fell. Overhead
the bare branches creaked and sighed.
Underfoot the walk looked treacherous
enough in the fitful glimmer of the
gas lamps.
Now came a bit of Incline. She start
ed down recklessly, with a challenging
look at her silent escort. "Let's see
who gets to the bottom first."
But on the instant her foot caught on
a bit of gravel. She swayed and would
have fallen if his ready hand had not
steadied her. The effort, however, de
stroyed his own equilibrium. Down,
down rolled the dignified Mr. Voight to
the bottom of the slide. His high silk
hat rolled even faster In an exploring
expedition toward the little brook that
ran alongside the path.
The girl clasped her hands tragically.
"Oh, It is going into the water! Save
it! .jave it!" Then she burst out laugh
ing. Mr. Voight raised himself stiffly and
went in chase of the hat.
When he brought it back, she was
still laughlug.
"I am glad that I afforded you so
much amusement.' His tone was. very
freezing. "And I nin happy to tell you
that the hat has escapou injury. Your
anxiety about it was quite remarkable.
As for my Injuries oh, that is a mat
ter of no consequence to you evident
ly." Her laughter had died away, and she
bent toward him eonirite.y. "Forgive
my laughing! If you could only have
seen how funny yen looked:" Another
paroxysm was threatened, but she
steadied her voice as she caught sight
of his face. "But you are not hurt,
are you? .Inst let me brush you oil.
and you will he all right. Will."
"Will" refused to lie placated. He
had been laughed at, and ridicule
pierces to the Innermost core of a
man's being.
"Don't pretend an Interest you have
just shown conclusively you do not
feel. I am quite ready to resume our
walk homeward." And he turned and
began to ascend the incline.
The girl was glad that the friendly
darkness hid her Involuntary expres
sion of pained surprise. William the
meek, William the long suffering, had
rebelled. She had teased him and
played with h!m. This, then, was the
last straw.
Then u wave of Indignation flooded
over her. How rude he was, how ttu
klnd! She stood still and gazed at the
tall figure hurrying tip the slope. How
could he treat her so? She would go
home alone. But the park was very
dark and silent. A cold tremor seized
tor. She was afraid.
With most undignified haste she hur
ried after and caught up with him
panting . A glance at him brought back
her courage. His bearing was any
thing but victorious.
Her tone matched his own as she
said: "I cannot go home alone. We
need not have any further conversa
tion, however, and I won't trouble you
again."
Voight winced visibly at her words.
There were signs of yielding as he re
plied, "You know that I am always
glad to do things for you."
Miss Manners laughed bitterly. "And
yet you were going to leave me alone .
Just now. It wasn't a kind, wasn't a
gentlemanly, thing to do."
Ills anger flamed up again. "I could
not endure your mockery. It simply :
showed that I had been mistaken all
along; that you did not care for me;
had been only playing with me."
Her voice was low and vibrant as
she retorted: "That is why I was rest
less tonight why I have been restless
for many days. I was trying to make
up my mind whether I really loved '
you. You have helped me to solve the
question. I can give you the answer
now. It is 'No.' "
He was too stunned to speak, and so
they hurried on in silence. An angry
spot of color burned in the girl's cheeks,
but the darkness hid this as well as
the glint of tears in her eyes and the
pallor of the man's face.
Suddenly he caught her to him al
must rudely. She struggled, but. he
lifted her bodily and then set her
down, trembling. Even as her cry of
Indignation rang out there was a blaze
of white light, a whir of wheels, and
the automobile was out of sight
Volght's voice trembled as he whis
pered, "That is the White Ghost, but
It might have been the White Death
for both of us."
He held her in his arms, though she
struggled. She was yet too indignant
and too startled to realize her narrow
escape.
After a moment: "What was it to
you if I had been killed? What right
have you to interfere?"
There was a traitorous tremble in
her voice that gave him courage.
"The right of loving you. Had the
last ten minutes made life seem so
worthless for you too?"
He tried to see her face, but she had
hidden it on his shoulder. He bent his
head till his lips almost touched her
hair. "Can't you find it in your heart
to change your answer?"
Her face was still hidden, and only a
lover's ear could have caught the faint
reply.
Origin of Old Glory.
In the reminiscences of Lord Ronald
Gower is found a story of the origin of
the stars and stripes.
The "star spangled bauner" of the
American republic has its origin from
an old brass on tho floor of Briugton
church, in Northamptonshire. The
brass covers the tomb of one Robert
Washington and is dated 1022. On it
appears the Washington coat of arms,
consisting of throe stars, with bars or
stripes beneath them. On the first day
of the new year, 1770, the thirteen
united colonies raised a standard at
Washington's headquarters.
This introduced the stripes of the
present, but retained the crosses of St.
George and St. Andrew on a blue
ground in the corner. In 1777 the cross
es were replaced by stars, as the Dec
laration of Independence rendered the
retention of the English clement unnec
essary and inconvenient. In thus adopt
ing the arms of his ancestors as his
own distinctive badge Washington no
doubt intended the flag merely as a
private signal for his own personal fol
lowing, but it was at once adopted as
a national emblem. Trobably there is
not another case in the world's history
In which the private arms of an ob
scure family have attained such world
wide eminence and repute. ,
Intelligent Robin.
The following incident 6eems too re
markable to be true, and yet it is vouch
ed for by a writer whose word should
not be doubted: Two robins were try
ing to teach their little one to fly. It
attempted to cover too great a distance
and fell to the ground. My little boy
caught it, and I told him to put it on
the roof of our side porch.
Then he and I watched to see what
the old birds would do. They fluttered
about the yard for awhile and then
Cew off. We waited for them to re
turn, but they did not, and I had just
made up my mind that they had de
serted the young one when I saw them
coming, accompanied by a third one.
They flew directly to the roof of the
porch, and I saw that one of them had
a piece of twine in its bill.
And what do you suppose they did
next? If I had not seen it, I never
would have believed It. Two of them
caught hold of the twine, one at each
end, and the little one caught the mid'
die of it in his bill. Then they flew off
the porch, the third robin flying under
the little one and supporting it on his
back. Minneapolis Journal.
Thejr Were Discreet.
In the course of an interview Cardi
nal Manning, a short time before bis
death, referred to his boyhood days as
follows: "Well, if you want me to talk
nonsense I will say that it is a long
way back to remember, for I am eighty
three, but 1 spent my childhood at Tot
tcridge. A boy at Coombe Dank, Chris
topher Wadsworth, late bishop of Lin
coln, and Charles Wadsworth, bishop
of St Andrews, were my playfellows.
I frankly admit I was very mischie
vous. "The two Wadsworths and I con
ceived the wicked intention of robbing
the vinery. The door was always kept
locked, and there was nothing for it but
to enter through the roof. There was a
dinner party that day, but there were
no grapes. This is probably the only
case on record where three future bish
ops were guilty of larceny. Were we
punished? No, we were discreet We
gave ourselves up and were forgiven."
IT MUST COME.
As inevitable as the changing seasons of
the year is the change which comes to
every woman. And just as one antici
pates the changes of other seasons it is
wise to anticipate
this change of sea
son and prepare for
it. In this way the
discomforts and
disasters suffered
by many women at
the period of
chance can be
avoided or over
come. Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription,
a medicine for
every season of
woman's life, will
entirely meet the
needs of women at
this period of
change. It cures
the physical ills
and relieves the
mental anxiety and
depression usually
associated with this critical period. It
tranquillizes the nerves, encourages the
appetits and. induces refreshing rteep.

The largest sum ever paid for a pre

volved in coin and stock $112,500.00 and
was paid by a party oi business men for
a specific for Bright'e Disease and Dia

They commenced the penes investi
gation of the specific Nov. 15, 1900.
They interviewed scores of the cured
and tried it out on its merits by putting
over three dozen cases on the treatmen
and watching them. They also got pby

and administered it with the physicians
for judges. Up to Aug. 25, eighty-seven ,
per cent of the test cases were either '
