GEORGE FRANClS TRAIN.
II-zrw That Philosopher Gave Relief to a
Poverty-Stricken Couple.
. “I was on eye witness,” said one of
a party. “ofran occurrence that would
have been regarded as remarkable had
I not understood it. Laic one after-
noon I was sitting on a bench in Mad?
lson square. On another bench near
by were a man and woman. both
young. The man was thinnnd pale.
andI gathered from such of his talk
as I overheard. that he was recovering
from a long illness. that the woman
was his wife, and that they were in
desperate need of money. '
“George Francis Train came ‘along
and sat down beside me on the bench.
I knew him well and told him abou‘.
the young people and their troubles.
Presently he went on his way and I
saw him go into a store on the south
side of the square. A few minutes
later he came back to. the young cou-
ple. As he passed them a shower of
gold and silver coin dropped from his .
pocket, directly at their feet, jingling
musically on the asphalt. Mr. Train
walked right along, paying no heed,
The young man sprang up and called
Mr. Train's attention to his loss. say-
ing, ‘You’ve dropped a lot of money.
sir.’ ‘You’re very much mistaken.
young man,' Train replied, and he
walked rapidly away. »
The young people were utterly
dumbfounded. and, after- they. had
gathered up the coins. seriously talk-
cd-of turning the money over to the
police. Fearing that they would real-
ly be so foolish, I went to 'them and
advised them to keep the wealth. as
the man rwho had dropped the money
had a way of doing jnsrsuch eccen—
tric things. which he could well {11'
ford, as he possessed a great fortune,
They lcft‘the square soon after with
smiling faces. '
“Train undoubtedly had gone to a
store, obtained a lot of coin, cut thi-
lining of his coat pocket, holding the
gap together with his hands ,to keep
the coin within until he reached the
young couple. when he let go and the
coin fell at their feet. It was his way
of helping them without embarrassing
them with an offer of charity.”--

Boxing a Bride’s Ear. 3
In Lithunia, a province of Russia.
it is customary that the bride’s cars
should be boxed before the marriage
ceremony. No matter how tender-
hearted the mother may be, she al-
ways makes it a point of administer-
ing a hearty smack to her daughter
in the presence of witmses, and a
note is made of the fact. The moth-
er’s intention is a kind one,,though the
5 custom ltself'is bad. The reason for
it is to protect the bride should her
marriage prove an unhappy bne. In
that case she will sue for a divorce.
and her plea will be that she was
forced into the marriage against her
will, and on that score the verdict of
the judge will be in her fawn—Wash-

THE Oilfitidfi-fi i“; ICE CREAM.
Mode Its Apps an: 21' near the Close of the

The New York Post Boy of June 8.
1783, makes; this announccmcni:
"Ladies and gentlemen may be sup
plied with ice cream every day at ill-:-
City tavern by their humble servant.
Joseph Cowe.” At a ball given by
Mrs. Johnson in New York, on Dec. 12.
1789, there were “served pyramids of
red and'white ice cream, with punch,
and liquors, rose cinnamon and par-
fait amour.” Ice cream was. first in-
troduced at the national capitol by
Mrs. Alexander Hamilton, who had
had it in her home in.New York. She
used to tell with amusement of thc
delight with which President Jackson
first tasted it, and how be, promptly
decided to have ices at the, executive-
mansion. Accordingly guests at the
next reception were treated to the
frozen mystery, and afforded con-
siderable fun to the initiated by the
reluctance with which they tasted it.
Those from the rural districts espec-
ially first eyed it suspicionsly, then
melted each spoonful with breath be-
Their distrust was
soon removed, however, and plates
were empt’ed with great rapidity.
The man who made the cream was.
oddly enough, a negro by the name of
Jackson, who in the early part of thc
present century kept a small confec
tionary store in Washington. Coll
custards. which were cooled after be
ing made by setting them on a cakr.
of ice, were very fashidnable. and
Jackson. at Mrs. Hamilton’s suggcs~
tion. froze them by placing the in
gradients in a [tin bucket and com

EARS IN SCOOLROOMS.
Children are Often Deaf and Not Stupid.
As Is Sometimes Thought.
Defcctivc hearing is a symptom fre
quently seen in the school room about
which teachers should know some
thing. Pupils are som-etimes'consil‘:
and stupid,‘ whos-
worst fault is their deafness. This i
not as common, probably, as defect
ivc sight, but it is quite as apt to be
neglected and to lead to disastrous re-
-Hend colds. diseased condi-
tions of the. pharynx and tonsils. and
discharges from the external ear arc
all common with children in this cli-
mate. and are all prolific sourdes of
permanent deafness. _
The teacher is in a position to do:
test this symptom early, and should.
investigate every case of apparent in-
attention and Stupidity. especially if
it is noticed that r11is=is accompanied
with persistent mouth breathing. The
teacher can easily inform herself
about a child's hearing, and quite ac—
curately: thus. a child should be able
to hear'words spoken in a‘ clear, low
voice twenty feet away. and should
be able to hour a watch tick three feet
from either car. Children with. do-
fective hearing. should. of’course, be
seated near the teacher’s desk. Par—
ents‘ attention should always be called
to this symptom, for it is usually pos-
sible to cure it when early treatment
is instituted. Neglected, it is very
sure .to become permanent—Sanita-
rian.
Food and Drink in One.

and use of pulque in Mexico dale-s

l’ulcue is both a food and a drink.
and among the poor it forms a very
addition to the frijolcs.
tortillas and Chile, making up their
limited fare. In employing a Mexican
servant, a few cents a day for the
purchase of pilquo is generally allow-
ed by the mistress of the house. .A
Mexican can do with little clothing.y
and scanty fare. but life is a thirst-
panged desert if the usual allowance
of pulque is interfered with. ‘It pos-
sesses large medicinal properties, act-
ing in a beneficial way upon the
digestion, blood. nerves and system
in general; but if used rto 'excess ii
