YOUR BRAIN.
'Keep It Plattio by Not Overeating at
You Grow Old.
Up to a certain age the brain re
mains plastic enough so that f! an In
jury occurs to the thought brain the
person can begin over again ami cre
ate new knowledge centers In the other
hemisphere.
This has happened In many cases
where young people have lost certain
powers or faculties by cerebral lesions
and have afterward recovered these
faculties by developing new centers in
the other brain. It rarely happens
after the age of forty-five, and the rea
son Is because most persons after pass
ing that age soon clog their brains
with calcareous matter by overeating
and destroy the plasticity of their
brains by filling them with food waste.
If all people past the age of forty
five would live on twelve ounces or
less of solid food per day we should
soon find that one may receive new
ideas as readily at seventy-five as at
fifteen. You cannot do It, however, if
your brain Is a hardened mass of
waste matter. If you overeat you will
be "sot" in your ways and a has-been
at fifty. Keep your phonograph rec
ords soft and receptive. Nautilus.
A STAGE VILLAIN.
Hie Reputation Clung to Him Outside
the Theater.
, An actor In a small company was
unable one night to get accommoda
tion at the only hotel In on English
town, it is said, because its proprietor,
a remarkably slow going person for
such a place, recognized him as the
villain in the melodrama who had
stoken a cash box, set fire to a house,
killed a detective, damaged a race
horse and betrayed the hero's sister.
But something like this really did
happen to George Scott, manager of
the Alhambra in London. In his
younger days Mr. Scott was a stage
villain of the deepest dye, and one of
his favorite parts was that of the
wicked Levlson in "East Lynne."
After playing the character a few
nights in Blackpool he had occasion
for wishing to change his lodgings
and, knocking at the door of a house
in the next street, was greeted by the
good lady who opened it with a shriek
and the subsequent exclamation:
"What! It's Levlson, the dirty vil
lain. Ye can't 'ave rooms in my
'ouse! Get out or I'll call the periled"

Steel Pen Helps Forgers.
The crime of forgery has been facili
tated and increased by the modern in
troduction of metallic pens, gold and
steel, says a writer In the Indianapolis
News. Tho old fashioned quill pen was
smooth and pleasant to write with,
though it sometimes balked and sput
tered, but It did not lend itself to sklll
" fill imitations as easily ns the metallic
pen does. The crime of forgery doubt
less has been promoted by the almost
universal education of modern times.
In nn nge when everybody writes and
when many are skillful penmen forger
ies are much more frequent than they
were centuries ago, when the person
who could handlo a pen was an excep
tion. Many modern criminals make a
living by committing forgeries, victim
izing hotels, banks, capitalists and busi
ness men generally.
Domestlo Economy.
"Hey, mon," exclaimed the braw,
bounlo north countryman, "thrift is a
wunncrful thing!"
"Yes," replied his English traveling
companion. "You're right there. Now,
I gave my wife a ten pound note to
manage on last time I was nwny, and
would you believe it? iustead of ex
ceeding it she saved nearly a sover
eign out of it to buy herself a hat I"
"That's nowt," replied the Scotsman.
"My wife gives the kids ha'pennies
apiece to go to bed supperless; when
they're asleep she takes the ha'pen
nies off on 'em agecan, and then she
makes 'em do wl'out ony breakfasts
for loslu' 'em! . Iley, mon, that's

The Mendicant.
There uro those who nscrlbo the
word "mendicant" to the silly appella
tion put forth as a conundrum, mean
ing a poor wretch beyoud the power of
mending. But something very close to
the term was In use as long ago as
when Chaucer wrote his "Canterbury
Tales." hi the "Soiupnoure's Tale"
this occurs:
Therefore we "mendlants," we eely freres,
Hen wedded to poverte and continence.
To charltee. huniblesse end Abstinence,
etc. i
Tho "soiupnoure" of Chuueer was, of
course, n suminoiier, or apparitor, and
n person of low estate, and here we
have, It Is tcl loved, the origin of the
word, which fame Into common em

" THE SHIPWRECKER.
tfeis Life Made Up of Hardships, Ad
ventures and Accidents.
The career of the shlpwrecker con
Hsts of a series of hardships and ad
Ventures and accidents and narrow es
capes from the first day he enlists
with a big wrecking company up to
the time he 13 brought ashore from
the grim ship be calls "home" crippled
or fatally injured. Of all the profes
sions that demand heavy toll of hu
man life none, not even mining or
powder making, is as dangerous as
the one of these wreckers. Every year
these daring men, who brave storm and .
wave and tempest to save the stranded
liner, to raise the sunken ocean grey
hound, to rescue the ship impaled upon
rocks and, if nothing else, to salve
what valuable cargo may be removed
from helpless wrecks, meet death by
the score. Many of them, exposed of
ten for days and nights to the icy
blasts of winter seas, to driving bliz
zards and to drenching storms that
bite to the marrow, succumb to pneu
monia. Others at work on the pitch
ing, tossing barges have legs or arms
shattered during the risky operations
of removing masts or of slinging
wrecking pumps or other castings that
weigh tons. Others have hands or
feet so dreadfully frozen that these
must be amputated, and still others
are wiped out of existence after suf
fering hours of untold agony and ex-
posure before the eyes of their helpless
comrades. Appleton's Magazine.

HICCOUGHS.
A Simple Treatment by Which They
May Be Cured.
Did you ever take nine swallows of
water to cure the hiccoughs? Do you
remember the time some one scared
the hiccoughs away by telling you of
a whipping due for some meanness?
Well, science has been studying hic
coughs and caught the hiccoughs by
the "nape of the neck." The nine
swallows of water had a little science
in it, and so did the scare cure. The
scientific hiccough cure consists in
pressing down to numbness the nerve
that connects the stomach, heart, lungs
and brain, the pneumogastrlc nerve.
The pressure partially and locally
paralyzes this nerve and of necessity
the hiccoughing must cease.
Have the hiccoughing patient sit
down and be at ease, with the muscles
of the neck relaxed as much as possi
ble. Grasp both sides of the neck
somewhat toward the back part and
press down steadily and as hard as the
subject may permit for about one min
ute, having the patient work the head
from side to side. Within about one
minute the nerve will be numbed and
rested, and the spasmodic motion will
cease. It may require longer pressure
in some cases, but the result is sure if
patience is maintained. Ohio ' State

A Thirteenth Century Drink.
Thirteenth , century tastes in food
had few limitations. Besides the "fowl
of Africa and the rare gadwit ; of
Ionia" mentioned' by Fltzstepheh,
gourmets in the time of King John
used to regale themselves on herons,
cranes, crows, storks, cormorants and
bitterns. Some would wash their
meals down with wine, but the ma?
Jorlty drank mend or metheglin. Mead,
according to Ilollnshed, was only the
washing of the combs after the honey
had been taken from them and so poor
a beverage that it had to be spiced,
peppered or made palatable with
sweetbrler. or thyme. But metheglin,
contained one hundredweight of honey
to twenty-four gallons of water and
must have been much more Intoxicat
ing thnn the strongest old ale of the
present day. London Chronicle.
Calling the Deaf.
"To waken a deaf person who wishes
to be called nt a certain time in the
mornlug is about the hardest proposi
tion a. hotel clerk runs up against,"
said a member of that fraternity. "To
ring the telephone is useless, because
the man can't hear. Knocking, for the
same reason, Is futile. Now and then
a guest who has lost his hearing sug
gests that he leave his door open so
we can walk right In and shake him,
but even if he does appear to be dead
game there are so many chances of
somebody less guileless than ourselves
walking in ahead of us that we can't
consent to that simple expedient It
seems to me the man who can patent
a device for waking the deaf is sure
of fame and fortune, not to mention the
gratitude of the brotherhood of hotel
clerks." Exchange. ,
To Save the Tablecloth.
Nothing is more 'provoking to tho
careful housewlfo than to have a per
fectly clean tablecloth liberally be
spattered with gravy the first time it
is used. Get a large table napkin one
to match the tablecloth If possible
and a piece of white oilcloth cut an
Inch shorter and an Inch narrower
than the napklu. riace the oilcloth
where the meat dish will stand and
spread the napkin over it The gravy
cannot penetrate through the oilcloth.
Thus there is a considerable saving in
the washing bllL
