QUICK IN RETORT.
feories of 8oma Masters of the Gantts
Art of Repartee.
Senator Ingalla was always quick
in retort, although he was himself
a subject of some sharp shafts. Once
he was attacked bv benator iui
Saulsbury of Delaware, the second I
smallest state in the Union. He 1
disposed of the whole matter by say- j
ihZ, "1 thank the senator irom that '
great state which has t!.i-- t counties
at low tide and two coui..; .3 at high
tide for his advice."
John Kandolph of Roanoke was
the most sarcastic man ever heard
in the halls of congress, unless Da
vid A. De Armond of Missouri be an
exception. Both Randolph's and
De Armond's speeches drip vitriol,
but they are not epigrammatic and
are hard to quote. Randolph, who
flourished in the early days of the
republic, when things were all un
settled, was furiously attacked by a
Republican from Rhode Island who
had been a blacksmith. Randolph
was a descendant of Pocahontas and
of the best blood of aristocratic Vir
ginia. He replied to the presump
tuous blacksmith: "What creden
tials does the gentleman bring?
From whence does he spring? And
why has he left his leather apron
behind?" The reply was hissed
back, "I sent it to Pocahontas to
make moccasins for his grandchil
dren." An illustration of the nimble and
caustic wit of Alexander H. Ste
phens of Georgia in senatorial de
bate occurred on the senate floor
during a heated argument with Rob
ert Toombs, also of Georgia. Ste
phens, although possessed of one of
the most powerful brains of his
time, was lame and had a wizened
little body. Toombs was one of the
largest men in the senate and was
of a blustering, sputtering type. Ho
had argued with Stephens until he
was hoarse and became so exasper
ated that lie threatened to fight.
However, consideration of the size
of his opponent deterred him, and,
turning, he said, "I won't fight you,
but I could swallow you whole."
Stephens quickly retorted, "If you
did you would have more brains in
your stomach than you ever had in
your head." Frederic J. Ilaskin
in Louisville Courier-Journal.
The Widow's Dog.
A case was recently tried in a jus
tice's court in which a common old
fashioned hound was the subject of.
contention. This hound was alleged
to be the best dog after coons in the
neighborhood. Two men claimed
the dog, and each employed an at
torney to assist in the case. At the
trial it developed that the dog be
longed to a widow residing in the
neighborhood, and the justice gave
the custody of the dog to the widow
and assessed a fine against each of
the litigants in the sum of $10.
They paid the fine, and the justice
gave it to the widow. She then said
that either of the litigants could
use the dog when he wished, pro
vided that neither of them paid his
lawyer. It is reported that the at
torneys are still looking for their
fee. Columbus Dispatch.
Punishment.
At one time in a certain peniten
tiary there was a renaissance in the
moral discipline of the prison, and
all were compelled to attend chapel
regularly. One of the prisoners
came to the warden one day and
begged to be allowed to- remain
away from the chapel exercises, as
he wanted Sundays to write letters
to his friends. The warden looked
at the beseeching convict in amaze
ment. "What," he exclaimed, "al
low you to stay away from religious
exercises all the time! No, sir.
Why, man, don't you know that's
part of the penalty ?" And the con
vict continued to worship regularly,
while the warden led in prayer.
Superstition In Calcutta.
The grossest superstition exists
in Calcutta. Not long ago an In
dian gentleman residing in Jaun
T?nMr street had a live coat flunff
dovvn from his two storied house in
accordance with the directions of a
60 called magician, who was called
in to cast out a devil with which a
eon was supposed to be possessed.
The poor brute was first fed with a
few bamboo leaves over which the
wizard mumbled some mantras, and
it was then pushed over the terrace.
The animal was killed, and its flesh
was distributed to the poor.

THE PRIME MINISTER.
Ho Is the Real Ruler of the Great Brit
ish Empire.
The real ruler of the British em-;
pire is not the titular sovereign nor
the hereditary nobility. It is tae
leader of the political majority, who j
derives his power solely from the di-. j
rect vote of the people. Lhe prime
minister of England is subordinate
neither to the king nor the house
of peers. Every man who shares
with him in the work of the gov
ernment is his subord'nate.
Following a general election the
sovereign sends for a member of the
majority party and instructs him to
form a government. This is one of
those fictions of the constitutional
authority of the sovereign to which
the English people cling as to the
heritage of tradition. The sum
mons is delivered, but it is merely a
form. The party leader is such not 1 the Bapti... s day, June -24, the pa
bv the erace of the sovereign, but i tient must be dragged through the
by the choice of the majority; not
by election, but because he has the
qualities of leadership.
The leader, having received the
sovereigns instructions to form a
government, becomes by that man
date the autocrat of the empire.
His power is absolute. Like the
president, he may appoint whomso
ever he pleases a member of his cab
inet, but, unlike the president, he
is not influenced by geographical
considerations, nor does he have to
submit his nominations to the sen
ate. In both countries the mem
bers of the cabinet hold office at the
will of the appointing power, but
the tenure of office is even more
precarious in England than it is in
the United States. Here a minister
may differ from the president on a
matter of policy and not feel it in
cumbent upon him to resim. In
England there can be no differences.
Either a minister agrees with his
chief or he resigns.
In England the cabinet is an ex
tra legal creation. Nominally it is
one of the committees of. the privy
council, whose functions are to ad
vise the sovereign, but this is sim
ply a survival of mediaevalism. The
cabinet is under the sole control of
the premier, unhampered by royal
or other interference. But anoth
er survival no member of the cab
inet may make public any matter
discussed by the cabinet without the
express sanction of the sovereign,
and when the premier issues a sum
mons to a cabinet council, which
meets, at irregular intervals, accord
ing to the exigency of public busi
ness, the minister is "requested to
attend a meeting of his majesty's
servants." A. Maurice Low in Ap
pleton's Magazine.
Uncomfortable Korean Houses.
The "kang," the Korean house
furnace, renders the atmosphere of
the inns where travelers take their
rest almost insufferable. It is pic
tured as a primitive though ef
fective means of heating the houses
throughout the kingdom. A small
fire of brushwood is lighted in the
small furnace at one side of the
house, thence numerous flues under
the mud floor conduct the smoke
and hot air to an upright chimney
or hole in the wall at the opposite
end or side, and a little fire suffices
to thoroughly heat a large house. A
traveler says he is not surprised to
find coughs and colds common, for
an indoor temperature of 70 de
grees or 80 degrees and an outdoor
.one of zero form trying extremes.
Moreover, the constant warmth
seems to keep, alive the numerous
flies, fleas, bugs and cockroaches
with which most of the houses
swarm.

MEDICAL SUPERSTITION.
Outlandish Practices Still Prevail In
Parts of Germany.

,1 J i-'. V tnii-nA
ience in the marsh
s , f w rth - Bre
merhaven, and in the Luneburg
heath, a bairen region between the
Elbe and Aller, in Germany,
In both of these districts the
touch of a corpse's hand is still re
garded as a curative of many local
ills. In the Wesermarsch the prac
tice is to steal secretly into the room
where the dead person is laid out
and with the dead hand stroke the
afflicted part. In the Luneburg
heath the application is especially
used as a cure for warts and for
cramps in the stomach.
Less gTewsome is the remedy for
hernia still applied in the marsh
country. On the night of St. John
split of a cleft ash tree. Three men
bearing the first name of John
must perform the operation, and it
must be conducted in dead silence.
Some of the cures depend, on the
contrary, upon verbal formulas. For
hiccough' the sufferer must cross
a little wooden footbridge over a
stream an easy matter in the
marsh lands with their manv drain
age ditches. As he crosses he must
repeat the nursery rhyme :
Snip-op un Ik gungen ober dat steg
Snik-op fult herin un Ik gung weg.
This bit of dialectic German' maj
be translated:
Hiccough and I went over the bridge;
I went on. Hiccough feU In the ditch.
For erysipelas a fire is lighted
and a pinch of ashes from it is rub
bed on the skin to the accompani
ment of a saying to the effect that
the ashes and the sore went over the
Red sea together, the ash came
back, but the sore never again. Nu
merous other sayings supposed to
have the force of charms, usually
when uttered simultaneously with
some action, are quoted. The Lune
burger, for instance, who has warts
makes the sign of the cross on the
warts while gazing at the crescent
moon, saying, "What I see, that I
win; what I wash, that disappears."
It rhymes in the German dialect.
Sometimes the formula is not
spoken. The Wesermarsch folk
have a saying which they write on
a slip of paper when any one has
fever. Then they burn the paper.
The Luneburgers have no formula,
but they write the name, year of
birth and birthplace of the sick per
son in a lonely place three nights,
running. Other remedies for fever
consist in swallowing spiders or dust
filed from a church bell.
When n tooth comes out the loser
must throw it backward over his
head. Hair combings must not be
thrown out of the window, because
the birds might get them and fly
away with them. In that case the
person who was separated from
them would speedily become bald.

were compressed into that cry. He

Burned Sunday Night.
The larm home of J. D Me'w-
rer at Harlan, 14 miles from Big
Elk, burned to the gronnd about
midnight, Sunday night, and a
phone message was received by a
local physician that two people
had been seriously burned and
advice was sought as to remedies
to fee applied.
Inquiry yesterday morning re
sulted in the information that the
house and contents, valued at
about $500, a total loss.
How the fire onginrted is not"
known, as the family had been
asleep tor some hours and the
only fire that had been in the
house was in the cook stove early
in the evening.
Mr. Mowrer is postmaster at
Harlan, and the fixtures and post
office books were lost, although
the mail was saved.
When the familv awoke the
house was already burning and a
hasty escape was made by those
downstairs. A nephew, El
Mowrer, aged about 14, was
asleep upstairs, however, and
Mr. Mowrer made his way
through fire and smoke and res
cued the dazed lad, who would
otherwise have perished. Both
were badly burned about the face
and bands, but just how serious
the injuries are is not known
htre. The family consists of Mr.
and Mrs. Mowier, time children,
and the nephew mentioned.
Important Business Changes.

ed. Mr. Strong's plans lor the
future are cot public,' although ii
s rumored that he has already
purchased a mill elsewhere.
Another important business
change is the sale of the Seely-Arnold-Creson
creamery plant to

Dairy Wisdom In Erie!
Remember that contamination of
milk and its byproducts begins most
often close to its source viz, the cow
stables.
Good air and sunlight in the barn,
healthy cows kept cla:m, a good cream
separator, with a ;:ood tank and p'eniy
of ice. ai;d careful 'handling of the milk
and cream will rer-ure good results.
After the milk is once contaminated
no amount of "doctoring" will restore
it to its pristine pur.r.T-

f3 very careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly ai;er using, and gives
it a sun bath to sweeten it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will taint the
butter thafr4s made in it. The stomach is
a churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro
cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that if this stomach-churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into It?
The evil of a foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption of
the pure current of blood and the dissem
ination of disease throughout the body.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
It does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn absolutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele
ment. In this way it cures blotches,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.
If you have bi tter, nasty, foul taste la
your mouth, cGatd tongue, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and despondent, ha ve frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom
ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour
or bitter risings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
able number of thrm, indicate that you are
suffering from biliousness, torpid or lazy
liver with the usual accompanying indi
gestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant
derangements.
