In the right hands It Is a poor mot that will not work both ways. An old quack doctor, according to tb« Wash Ington correspondent of the Boston Herald, was once called to see a boy who bad chills and fever. He proceeded to scratch the bark off a root and put some in one glass of water and some In another glass of water. “Give the medicine in this glass for the chills.” he then said to the lad’s mother, “but give this In the other glass when the fever comes on.” “Bnt. doctor.” the mother protested. “It Is exactly the same In both glass es." “Ch. not at all." declared the quack. "But I saw you scrape the bark eff the same root and put it in each glass.” “Yes." admitted the quack smoothly, "but you didn't see how I did It. my dear lady This for the chills I scrape up on the root, and that makes It high cockalorum. This for the fever I scrajie down on the root, and that makes it low cockahlghrum.” Tobacco and Tin Foil. General Winfield Scott was response ble for tin foil being wrapped around tobacco. That fact came out In the legal contest over the will of the ec centric millionaire tobacco dealer. John Anderson. Early In the forties ot the last century Mr. Anderson kept a pop- ular cigar store on Broadway. Fe'.ix McClosky, for many years the tobae- conlst’s salaried companion and agent. testified that one day. In 1843 he thought. General Scott came Into the store and asked Anderson If he couldn't devise some way of keeping tobacco so It would not be affected by ige and changes in climates. Ander son thought about it and shortly after hit upon the plan of wrapping cigars and chewing tobacco In tin foil, there by keeping the tobacco moist for a long time. His tin foil covers became popular, and bis preserved tobacco was much in demand during the Mexican war and the California gold rush, swelling bls business to enormous pro portions and soon making him a multi millionaire.

There la no more thrilling sport than harpooning the devilfish, the giant ray or manta, which has Its home I d the gulf of Mexico. Some of these fish, which are very greweome to behold, measure from twelve to eighteen feet and weigh more than 1.500 pounds, it requires tremendous skill to hnrpoon them and infinite tact to land them once they are struck. It is not unusu al for the fish to run for three hours or more, and they can tow a ten ton y •loop. The fish Is wily and will often go to the bottom to rest, to prevent which he has to be kept In a constant state of panic by hauling the tow In close to him. At a moment of weakening an other harpoon and a rifle shot will dts patch him. During a recent run It was three hours before the cable could be fas tened to the boat's windlass In order to pull the devilfish under the bow. where another Illy iron was secured In him. and then followed a rush of extraordinary impetuosity. Following this method and only after there were three harpoons lp bls back and a shark hoop attached to one flipper was it felt that he was secure. Half an hour later his struggles were finally stilled by a lucky rtfie shot in the head. As night came on the sharks began to come tn and long after dark could be heard fighting over the stranded carcass.—Illustrated London News. English Joy That Thera Is Ona Door Riches Won’t Unlock. The Roynl Yacht squadron Is proba bly the most exclusive club In exist ence. says the London Gentlewoman, and. wonderful to relate In this pluto cratic age. money Is quite powerless to unlock the charmed portals of the castle. One or two millionaires with splen did yachts have tried In vain to pass the ordeal of the periodical ballot, while men of no fortune or only just enough to defray the upkeep of a small yacht have been elected without an ideu of a black ball. The only apparent qualification Is that the candidate must possess a yacht of bls own. but there are other qualifications much more difficult of attainment by the man of money, and It Is Just here that the question of blackballing comes In. It must be own ed. rather refreshingly. For really one had almost said that there Is no social “holy of holies" Into which he who is rich cannot penetrate until one recalls the pleasant circle of gentlemen who go to make up the Royal Yacht squadron. There Is. one remembers gratefully, just one Insti tution left to which the mystic words “I am rich” do not have the effect of an “open sesame.” Truly Rustic Bridge. A rustic bridge at Beach Haven.
