out in his boyhood, in the early thlr

In a ilatlxKit with a number of compan
Ions. They built their boat on the Wa

exhibiting dioramlc views in the cabin
at landing'. Unfortunately the can

through the sycamores along the Wa

ed a settled region they ran out of pro
visions. In the woods they could find
nothing but papaws, luscious at first,
but quickly cloying.
I or two days, wrote the sixteen-year-old
Banvard, we had nothing
whatever to eat but those awful pa
paws. The very sight or memory of
one made me shudder. Then, on a joy
ful, sunny afternoon, we approached
Shawneetown, 111., on the Ohio river,
where we were advertised to exhibit.
As we came in we could see on the
bank a crowd of people. Some car
ried chickens, some eggs, some yams.
some potatoes, some "side meat" (ba
con) and some cornmeal. Our dinner
was In sight, for all those things were

mouths watered for the feast; but,
alas, we were too eager! Working our
boat toward land, we ran upon a reef
and stuck fast. Every effort to set us
free failed. Darkness came on, and be
fore our eyes our "house" disbanded
and went home, carrying our supper
with them.
Discouraged and forlorn, we turned
to our bag of papaws for what conso

Tragedy of Little Tiling Thnt
Are Left Lndonc.
The judge and spectators in a Kan
sas City courtroom laughed when a
husband testified that his wife gave
him only "mechanical kisses."
Then the lawyers devoted many min
utes to the question. "What is a me
chanical kiss?" They decided that it
was a salutation given only through a
sense of duty, and then they laughed
some more.
They didn't go far enough. They
might have called It a tragedy.
With most women affection lasts. It
burns as strongly in old age as in gold
en youth. A caress means a world of
joy to them.
Some men forget. They grow care
less. Carelessness is often a species of
selfishness, i.nce 11 w;s a prixilee to
press a lover's kiss on the lips of a
wife at the door when leaving in the
morning, again as a warm greeting
that always marked the homecoming
at night.
And one morning the man forgot the
caress and lost himself in business.
And a shadow fell on a romance, and
the woman wept. She tried to be brave
and sensible. She tried to laugh at the
silly fear that he didn't care for her.
She assured herself a hundred times
that It was such a little thing and that
it was natural for him to forget and
that it was unreasonable for her to ex
pect the joy of the honeymoon through
life. She wiped away her tears and re
solved to hide her grief and he kind,
loving, patient.
And the man never knew. Perhap-
some day he went into court and com
plained that he had been the recipient
of "mechanical kisses." Domestic neg
lect isn't always confined to lack of
food and clothing. Cruelty doesn't al
ways take the form of physical abuse.
When men learn to think, when they
remember that the little attentions of
ten mark the difference between joy
and sorrow in a woman's life, there
will be more real happiness In the
world. Milwaukee .Journal.

The TlKht Fitted Jacket.
Perhaps the most striking feature of
the advance spring fashions Is the ab
sence of the long fitted coat, that of
half or three-quarter length, which
made such a furore for Itself among
the fashionable last season. The girl
who prides herself on keeping a con
spicuous place In the fashionable pro
cession has cast It out utterly and has
adopted In Its place the little fitted
Jacket, which comes Just over the
curve of the hip. or else one of the new
Etons.
This little fitted coat Is very apt to
take to Itself the military lines vthlch
are such an integral part of the new
styles. And with Its smart braiding,
showing the necessary touch of gold,
there is a trim air of style about it
which Is eminently fetching.
Others of these little jackets, how
ever, are fashioned with the semi
fitting single darted front, and these
usually fasten In double breasted
style with large carved pearl buttons
and a cute little belt fashioned from
the goods and bound with braid or
leather passing around the waist and
showing quite a marked clip in front.
Braiding, too. characterizes this style.
but Its application Is likely to be more
fanciful and to partake less of the se
verity which characterizes the mili
tary styles.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
American Taate and Tnrklak Raps.
"From an artistic point of view it
may seem absurd, but It Is neverthe
less true that American taste dominates
the output of Turkish rugs," said a
man who has made a study of these
beautiful products of the orient. "Any
Importer will bear me out IiTthla. Of
course, inasmuch as the Armenians
and Turks who make these rugs have
no power looms on which to repro
duce exact copies, it would seem ridic
ulous to suppose that more than one
rug of the same pattern and design
could be turned out But the American
dealer has learned to know pretty
much what sort of rug. appeals to the
American buyer, and he says to his
agent on the other side, 'Make me a
lot of rugs that look as much like this
as possible.' So the native weavers,
on their hand looms, do their best to
copy the colors of a special design
that is put before them. This handi
caps them, for these untutored artisans
have their own Ideals, Just as a painter
of pictures has, and it is galling to be
thus restricted. It is also not very
gratifying to realize that the rich
American, who is often the parvenu,
with no Idea of art, should dictate the
output of an artistic product thnt Is
centuries old. But the rich American
is the greatest buyer of oriental rugs
and must be considered." Philadelphia

The Army of Doctors.
According to a writer in Leslie's
Monthly, there are about 200,000 doc
tors In the United States, or about one
for every 330 people. It has been ap
proximately estimated that the aver
age yearly Income of these men Is $750,
or that the public In the country pays
$150,0CO,000 annually for medical at
tendance, omitting entirely the money
spent for patent medicines, which bring
millions of dollars to manufacturers, or
the amounts spent for doctors' prescrip
tions or paid to quacks and commer
cial doctors. The preparation for the
practice of medicine that gives a man
good standing in the profession means
an expense of, liberally speaking, $4,-
000 for four years In a reputable med
ical school, $1,000 for general expenses
during two years' hospital service and
perhaps another $1,000 for setting up in
practice.
The well known specialist receives
some large prices for his work, but in
exactly the same proportion the value
of the time he gives away Is increased.
There probably is not a doctor In the
country who makes $100,000 regularly
every year, those who make $50,000 are
mere handful, and the average physi
cian, it should be remembered, has an
ncome of $750.

Cock's feathers are for the moment

Eniclnnd's "Ancient Light."
Englishmen, at least the more pro
gressive among them, are finally awak
ening to the absurdity of the old law
which establishes what are known as
"ancient lights." Under this law win
dows which have been in existence for
nineteen years or more cannot be de
prived of light by the construction of
neighboring buildings without due com
pensation having been made to the
owner. In other words, an owner nf
land cannot erect a building which will
shut in any of the windows of neigh
boring buildings, providing the latter
have been In existence for nineteen or
more years, without making himself
liable to extensive damages. More
over, the damaged owner can prevent
the erection of any such building which
will take away his light if he wishes to
do so. The light, by virtue of the time
he has enjoyed it has become a part of
his property. Efforts are now being
made to have this relic of past ages
repealed. It is this more than anything
else that has prevented the erection of
high buildings In London.
