The only man who can MiccoHsftilly
nit on the fellow who linn Ihmjuu to
rock the rowhoat iih ii Joke, Is the cor

of a diet he HliutH It off. Thin 1h where

rived. John I). Hoekofellcr'n advlco to the
young men about giving away money
would have been appreciated a great
deal more If ho had given them a tip
on what Htocku to buy to get the
money.
There arc now threo clnnncs of peo
ple. TIioho who do not know that they
have HtomacliH, thoHe who feel an If
there wuh not much elno to their In
ternal machinery, and thoHc who have
had them cut out.
It Ih Improhahlu that the great Amer
ican novel will ever come to pan un
Ichh the uovcllHt Ih thoroughly prepared
for IiIh work, and thin can only happen
through hIow develotuneut, not the
forclng-houHo proceHH of quickly
achieved fame. When the dearth of
great American riovelH Ih iIIhcumuhI let
this be noted.
It Is a serloiiH fact that spelling Is too
lightly regarded In the public-school
system of to-day and the result Is a
crop of graduates who are decidedly
dellclent in this branch. How serloim
tills defect Is may he Judged from the
fact that the tlmu of students at Co
lumbia Is to be devoted to spelling In
stead of the higher branches they are
supposedly lltted to undertake. Tlmo
would not he thus spent unions It was
deemed ncccHsary. And It would not
be necessary If primary educational
methods were less of fad and more
matter of fact.
Whether or not a college education la
advantageous depends entirely upon
the ability of the recipient to absorb
and utilize such an education. Unfor
tunately such n view of the case Is sel
dom considered by parents and guard
ians who are Inclined to Head their chil
dren to college simply hecauso It Is con
sidered the proper thing to do. Conse
quently we llnd throughout the coun
try thousands of young men who have
passed through college acting as cheap
clerks ir bookkeepers or even as car
conductors and restaurant waiters.
Having learned no mechanical trade,
for which they may be well adapted,
and being untitled by nature for a pro
fession, they go through life discon
tented with their lot and vaguely be
lieving that the world owes tliein bet
ter treatment because they have gono
through college.
A feature of a recent number of Hue
cesH Ih an article on the early struggles
of the members of President McKln
ley's cabinet. The history Ih the IiIh
tory of eight poor boys. None of them
ute the bread of UIIciichh, all of them
struggled upward through tlltllcultles.
The sketches of the lives of these men
are Illustrated by drawings showing
John Hay as clerk to President Lincoln
In the very room of the White House
where he now sits iih premier; Kllhu
Hoot, at IH, teaching a class In the
Home, New York, lu'iidemy; John V.

chore boy on a farm In HuckHtleld, Me.,
nnd James Wilson, at "I, working as
it farm hand In Iowa. One Ih again re
minded of (larlleld's eloquent comment
upon our society, which, he said, In
substance, was not like the strata of
the earth, layer upon layer, each hold
ing the other down, its In Europe; but
wits like the yielding waves of the sea,
so that It was possible for the lowest
drop to rise until It glittered like a
Jewel on the topmost wave.

from one of the houses, she moved to

this time paid no bills, her creditors

niich elaborate swindling lit only poa
tdble In a largo city, and the perform
ance must be accomplished by a past
master, or past mltre, of "dead beat
Inu'," yet, there are persons In all cities
.Who live lurt;cly by their wlta uud an
ability to swindle tradesmen out of
their money. Economics take little ac
count of the coftt to society of "dead
beats," but the business world knows
that a, goodly shard of the capital of
society Ih lost'ln maintaining this class
of persons. The profit and loss columns
of the ledgers tell the story,
It's quite common to hear a man say
that he Is "hungry'ns a bear" until he
sits down at table, and that then he Is
unable to eat. It Is even more common
to hear a woman say that she cannot
relish things that she has cooked her
self, and especially that she cannot
cook a meal for herself when she Ih
alone In the house and get any pleasure
or profit out of eating It. The scientific
sharps have discovered a reason for
this, and, even though to solve the
problem It was necessary to dissect a
few live dogs, the results are Interest
ing. The doctors discovered that when
food was placed before a hungry dog,
the blood rushed to the stomach, caus
ing the walls to blush a vivid pink. It
was the blood of the system rushing to
the stomnch to be ready to aid In the
work of digestion as soc:i as the ex
pected food should arrive. The actual
sight of food Is not the only thing that
will cause the stomach-blush. Any
thing that suggests food to a hungry
creature has that effect. For this rea
son a neat table, attractively prepared
viands and bright, cheerful surround
ings Intensify the blush, and It Is that
blush or, rather, the blood that causes
It that gives the good appetite tlrst
and good digestion afterward. When a
man has been hungry for hours and
has thought of food the thought alone
lins caused the stomach-blush. The
blood has waited In vain for the ex
pected food and lias dually departed.
dlsnppolutcd. That Is why, when food
Ih actually ready there Is no appetite
for It. The blush 1ms faded. A woman,
cooking a meal or preparing one for
herself, Is deprived of that sudden an
ticipation which comes upon other
diners as they approach a table all
prepared for a meal. With the woman,
the repast has been slowly brought to
gether, and any cheering stomach
blush of anticipation Is Impossible, be
cause the mind Is not affected as It
would he If every dish and Its Ingredi
ents wero not known In advance. It Is
a good thing to remember that any
thing that tempts the sense of ,Hlgh or
smell adds to the Intensity of the
stomach-blush, and Just to that degree
adds to relish and good digestion. Hoc
rako and a vivid blush would taste bet
ter and do more good than quail on
toast without a blush.

In tho diary of that remarkable man,
General Patrick Gordon, who left
Scotland In KIM n poor, unfriended
wanderer, and when he died, In 101)0,
had his eyes closed by tho affectionate
hands of his sorrowing master, the
Gzar l'oter tho Great, tho following
entry Is to be found, under ditto Ham
burg, March ', 1(180:
"Tills day, a man nnd woman, n
burger of tho lower towue, being the
womaus master, for murthering, were
carted from tho jirlsone to the house
where the murder wits committed; and
there, before this house, with liottt
plusers, the flesh was torreu out of
their nrmes, and from thence were
carted to tho place of Justice without
the towue, nnd there broken and Inyed
on wheeles."
An Instance llfty years later than
those quoted at tho last reference U
recorded In tho "Correspondence of
Mr. Joseph Jckyll." (Murray, 1801.)
In April, 1775, from the balcony of lib1
lodgings nt Orleans. JeUyll saw a crim
inal broken on the wheel. In a let

minutely Into the sickening details,
adding that "the crime of tho unfor

When a member of the royal famllj
of (Ireat llritaln comes to dinner It Is a
point of otlciuotte to provide none but
the Illustrious guest with u tltmer how)
at the enil of the banquet. The otlioi
diners must get ou somehow without
that convenience. The reason Is n
curious one. lu early (JeortfJnn dny
one never knew who was loyal; every
other man might be a Jacobite lu hie
secret heart. Now, It was n piece of
Jacobite ritual whenever the toast ot
"Tho King" was drunk secretly to pirn
the goblet over any water that hap
pencil to be by the drinker; this was
supposed to convert the totut Into that
of "The King Over the Water," the ex
iled Stuart at Home or St. (icrmalns.
Ou this becoming known the court In
sisted that there should he no watei
within reach of any guest, and the pro
hibition still holds.
