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

“Ch. not at all." declared the quack.
"But I saw you scrape the bark eff

glass.”
“Yes." admitted the quack smoothly,

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

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.

THE DEVILFISH
»
How That« Monsters Ara Caught In
the Gulf of Mexico.
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.”

The Deep Breathing Cure.
A boy who was consumptive and
was rapidly going along the road to
the grave was taken In hand by one
who understood deep breathing and
the Importance of proper mastication
of food. etc. He was made to under
stand precisely why deep breathing
was of such vital Importance, and be
took a lively Interest in his own cure
He was fourteen years old. In a very
few weeks the change was remark-
able. He began to get firm flesh on his
poor little limbs, bls chest developed
well and a healthy color came Into
his cheeks, Hie eyes, which were al-
ways covered with sties, became per
fectly free from them, and In three
months or less there was no sign of
consumption In him. I may say he
was only treated once a week for
half an hour.—Pall Mall Gazette.
