MR“. Moirsnrrs SAWBUCK.
Mr. Mouser and his merry little wife
occupied a charming cottage in the
suburbs of a large city in the “Father-
land.” His business connections were of
such a nature that he was usually at
leisure, after .4 o’clock in the afternoon.
Mr. Mouser prided himself on being a_
man of' originality and brains. Mr.
Mouscralso liked a little joke, at other
people’s expense.
It was autumn. Mr. Mouser had just
laid in a goodly supply of winter fuel.
Wood was chiefly used for this purpose in
the land of Mr. Mouser’s birth.
Sitting :by the window of his cozy liv-V
ingrooin,'enjoying a royal smoke from
the long stemmed porcelain pipe, Mr.
Mouser watched the wood sawyer plying
his trade, made easy by long habit of
handling wood and saw. As Mr. Mouser
gazed and pondered an idea crept into his
head. It was grasped—as ideas quickly
became captive there. "
“Lizbcth,” said he to his wife, “it: is
singular I never thought of it before-I
generally think of such things—but it
strikes me that I could saw that wood
myself.”
“Gracious! what an idea!"
“A bright one, isn’t it? A big saving,
toot J ust see with what‘ensc‘it‘ is done—-
the man cuts through the sticks as if he
were slicing bread and butter; besides, I
require more exercise; my health is not
what it has been."
“Why, dear, do you feel ill?"
“N-no, but a man needs to exert him-
self ifvhc does not wish to run down in
muscular power. My habits are too con-
fining; a sense of this fact hasgbecn grow-
ing on me lately. But I have solved the
difficulty while watching that man play
on his sawjack.” ' _
A merry twinklc- of the eyes Fonda
laudable endeavor to maintainuserious
expression would have convinced the be-
hold‘cr‘thnt Lizbcth‘ also had ideas, but
like a properly. pect-ful wife she kept
them'to herself untilivcalled for.
“Do you" think, 'Lizbethrthat a little
gentle musjcnlar activity is what I need? to _
stimulate appetite!!!
“You might paint the house or do some
less tiresome work than woodsawing,”
replied Mrs. Mouser. '
“Oh, you underrato my capacities, my
dear. And sawing wood is u'otrsuch hard
work. Come and-sec how simply it is
done, yet how every muscle is brought;
into play. I am enchanted with my idea,
and shall 'carry it out. The man can
finish this job, but it shall be the last I
ever pay for.”
Mr. Mouser meant business. He at
once ordered the very best kind of, a saw-
jack made. He purchased a splendid saw,
with sharp teeth and a light frame. Hc
pranced about, happy as a scoolboy, with
dubs of yellow and green paint sputtered
all over his person, until finallyl the saw
frame suited him in its bright ye
The sawjack he painted a lovely light
green.
Daily he promenaded impatiently
around the sheds where the wood was
stored, and grumbled because the fuel
lasted so unusually long. At intervals he
added another coat of green paint
highly decorated sawing jack (“so '-
it is called sometimes), and bade
acquaintances and friends come a , ‘
spect his patent calisthenic toys. an 1
every one for miles around became famil-
iar with Mr. Mouser’s green sawing jack.
At; last the longed for day arrived. A
big load of fine hickory had been piled up
in close proximity to the tools of decima-
tion.
Mr. Mouser was all excitement. He
passed by his amused wife with important
disdain, and scarcely gave himself time
to devour his dinner, he was so eager to
be at work. .
“Nothing more, thanks,” he replied, as
his wife wished to replenish his cup.
Rising. he hastened to handle his pets
‘with an nrdor that caused Lizbeth to
smile knowingly as she watched him pick
out the very smallest and most slender
’ cord sticks.
This was a great mistake on Mr.
Mouser’s part. He should have tackled
the difiicult ones first, on the simple but
fruitful theory that custom would have
sweetened his toil with the balm of
greater ease.
My! how the saw rented and the ab-
breviated sticks tumbled to the ground!
Still Lizbcth‘, who was peeping with
laughter brimming eyes, noticed that at
the third cord stick work seemed to
slacker: just a. little, but seven were
finished, and Mr. Mouser came in, de-
claring he felt glorious.
The second day Mr. Mouser remained
at; table a trifielonger. Four cord sticks
in broken lengths licked the dust, how-
ever. ’
Third day—Mr. Mouser took time to
glance over The Daily News after dinner.
Record: Three cord sticks.
“Lizbeth, ”said he,- té-Iv think. I've .been
cheated inrthe saw jack. It is output: to-
gether on as practical a plan as} ,yvas led
to believe. It wriggles."
Fourth day—Mr. Mouser toyed over'his
dinner extensively. He smoked his pipe
and read the paper. He glanced over, his
monthly magazine until dark, and then
started up, exclalming: '
“Mercy! how short the days are!"
Mrs. Mouser enjoyed the situation in—
tensely, but said never a word.
Fifth day—Mr. Mouser rose with a.
sense of injustice resting upon him. All
day he was haunted by the outrageous fate
that made him‘ the owner of a sawing
jack. -
“My dear, we require more wood than
: usual today and tomorrow, washing and
- ironing days, you know,” said Mrs.
Mouser as soon as he got home.
“I never saw anything like the way you
women manage to consume fuel!” and
Mr. Mouser grabbed his hat and strode
angrily toward the w'oodpile.’ 'A' few sticks
Z fell before the savage manipulation of the
saw, While _Mr. Mouser’s snarling kept
excellent time to the wild motions of the
suwyer. .
With a crash_he, sent the saw flying
overthe'woodpilc. This-was too much.
His wife Wail a. brute to expect. him to
work like a‘slav‘e during the few mo-"
ments he could call his own free from
business drudgery. But if he gave up he
would never hear the last of it. Oh, if
he could only get; rid of that sawjack.
A long time lie/pondered, at last a smile
of joy illuminatéd-hiiiface. That night, ,
after his wiferlhid retired, Mr. .i‘ifouse‘rfl~
slipped out and carried that hated green
object to the front gate. Presto, in the
morning the corpus delicti would be gone.
The highway was full of robbers, who
would steal anything rind everything. ‘
He'would’ makes. big fuss about the '
loss, but take good care not to'bny a
second sawjack.
He slept the sleep of the just; until
about4o'clock in the morning. It was
still dark, but his anxiety to assure him-
self of the loss of his trouble caused him
,to sneak out and reconnoiter.
The saw-
jack was still there. Mr. Mouser whis-
pered—not a prayer. “Oh, well, there is
time enough still between this hour and
daylight for a theft to be committed,” he
muttered. It was the voice of Mrs. Mouser
that awakened him in time for breakfast.
He glanced out of the window the .flrst
thing. Oh, how brightly the sun shone,
and the savvj, kglcarned up at him in

“You must saw some wood for me be-

“What. more wood?"
“Yea. dour; recollect you, only sawed
one stick last evening,” rejoined Mrs.
Mouser meekly, but a wicked gleam of
mischief played about her eyes and
mouth. - » .

hastened to town with his pretty tools

Soon he returned.
where was it?
Mr. Mouser rose that; morning in a most
delightful frame of mind.
“Lizbeth, my dear little Lizbeth,” he
exclaimed, friskily, “I am going to work
in earnest today. I am feeling fine, much
better titan I have for some time. Here,

That’s what: sawing wood has donet”
Lizbeth blinked~ sadly, but looked con~
tented. Mr. Mouser hastened out to “flip
off a stick or two before breakfast," but
soon came in looking quite angry and
puzzled. .
“What in the world has become of that
jack?" It was gone. “Such infamy—to
steal one’s very implements of toil!” he
cried in a rage, as he sent for the old wood
sawyer again.
Mr. Mouser, of course, grieved over his
loss, but managed to conquer the regret
sufficiently to display some of his old wit
and mirth.
But this good feeling received a sudden
check t_he morning after the burglary of
the “jack."
He had just opened the daily paper,
when his glance was arrested by a leading
paragraph.
“Lizbeth, look at this!”
Mrs. Mouser became alarmed. Her
husband was pale as death and trembling
in every limb as he handed her the paper.
Site read: '

offered for return of jewelry or informa-
tion leading to the arrest of the robbers.”
“Why this is splendid! You can at;

. jUnsymmetrical Physical development.
Perfect symmetrical development is
rarely found in man or woman. Of
course, those who work with their hands
and are much on. their feet generally excel
some limb or parts of the body to become
stronger and better developed than the
others. To occupation can be attributed
this disparity, which, however, unless
marked, is not of great significance. Ex-
cluding from consideration that class
given to hard manual labor, we find that,
in the majority of men and women, after
the age of maturity is reached, the upper
half of the body does not retain its rela-
tive development and strength as cum-.
pared with the lower half.
Of course, the solution is easy, the
labor put; upon the lower limbs is greater
than that which falls upon the arms to
do. The business man, when told by his
physician that‘he must exercise, insists
that he has all that he needs, for he is
“on his feet from morning until night,”
and the hard working housekeeper thinks,
too, she has quite enough, and gives the
on their feet; but comparatively weak in
their arms. Circulation in the lower half
of the body is good, but in the upper part
ltis less, free, und‘less- bloodis attracted
to it. The natural adjustment is de-
stroyed. Nature intends that a certain
portion of blood in the human body should
entervand distribute itself throughout the
muscular system. If; howeVer', largo
muscles, like those of the arms and trunk,
are insufficiently exercised, and as a con-
sequence grow smaller, then the blood in-
tended for them is diverted elsewhere. It
must be taken up by the internal organs,
and the liver. is the one Organ” Which,“

The Fear of Drafts.
Foul dust in rooms cannot; be got rid of
by any amount of sweeping and carpet
heating. The only thing that will remove
and replace it is a current of compara-
tively pure air from the outside. Except
in very cold weather there should always
be two open windows in each room on
opposite sides. “If we should follow. that
advice,” the horrified reader will exclaim,
“we should all. catch a fatal cold. Don’t
I remember a dozen colds ,1 got by being
exposed to a sudden draft? Onlyn few
nights ago, when I occupied a seat near
the door of' a. theatre, the door was left
open during the intermission, and - the
draft, though pleasant enough, gave me a
badp’cold. .No, thank you, no drafts for
me ‘ ~ .
This logic seems good, yet it is utter
sophistry.. As a metaphysician would
say, the draft was only the occasion, not
the real cause of the cold. The real cause
was tbs-foul, hdt air in the theatre; which
demoralized your. skin undirelnxed-itzs
bloodévcssels, so that they were unable to
react suddenly and endure the healthful
cool air from the street., In other words,
it was not‘the draft that gave you the
cold, but the sudden transition from hot
to cold air. Such a transition is always
injurious to the skin, whetherdt be from
both to cold or from field tohotjw .' But ’
if you are not overheated,'a current ~ of
cold‘air is never injuridus.—Thc Epoch.

Petty Méannessos of Actors.
Actors and actresses are very much
like other people. they are full of petty
spites I know of a. case which happened
in a London theatre not many weeks ago.
in which one actor—of rank In the pro
fession—had to receive something from a
young player on the stage. . For some
reason or other he did not like the young
man, and determined to bother him, so in
stead of taking .the article tendered he
fell down as if’in a fit, leaving the young
fellow without any cue to go on with or
any means of exit
Some years ago a very celebrated actress
used habitually to annoy a well known
actor with whom she played. "Is it the
case. " asked the actor of her one
day. "Miss that whenever I
have to say my litres in the third not. you
cough as violently as you can to drown
my voice?" _"Yes_ Mr ——." was the re
ply. "I think. do you know. that your
voicelsbetter when it is drowned." That
saute, lady once played a terrible trick
upon the actor Knowing he was ner-
vous, she gave him. as Portia. a ring.
which he. as ansaula. was unable to get
on his finger. and so put him out that be

But lately an actor told me himself that

to show that whether a distaste for cer.

Some friends :who liked the dish were do-

Prisoners Placed on Parole."

prisoner to what is known as the state 're-
formatory Instead of. the state prison.
provided it is‘his first offense He goes to
the reformutory for the maximum time
fixed by law as'tlie penalty for his crime.
For example. if the maximum term for
burglary ls twenty years and the mini-
mum term one year. his sentence- is fixed
at twenty years At any time after one
year that the directors become satisfied
that the prisoner will lead an honest life
they may. after providing employment for
him. either by the board or his friends.
permit him to go out. on parole The con
ditions are something like this: He
shall report to the warden at the
end of each month what amount
he has earned. what. expended. what
his associates have been, and other
matters pertaining to his life This
must be verified by his employer. If
these conditions are faithfully observed
during the term stipulated in the parole,
whether it besix or twelve months or
longer. at thaend of that time he receives
an absolute release. which restores him to
citizenship ,
If he violates the conditions of his pa
role he may be returned to the prison on
an order issued by the directors and be
compelled to serve ottt. his full term, or if
incorrigible may be transferred to thc’
state penitentiary and there be compelled
to serve out the maximum term In Ohio
the man may be paroled‘at any time after

The "Echo Maker" at Sea.
Another device. which may be called the
echo maker. that of Mr. De la Torre. has
been examined by a board of naval ofii
acre of which Commander Bainbridge
Hoff. United States navy. wins the head
and report was made to the navy depart
ment of a somewhat favorable nature
It may consist of a flaring fumiel screwed
on the muzzle of a rifle It is operated
by firing the rifle in the direction of the
supposed obstacle, such as a rock. an ice-
berg. another ship. or a cliff. if the ob
staclc is there. the beam of sound pro
jected through the funnel' strikes the ob-
stacle and rebounds. and as the echo Is
more or less perfect in proportion as the
obstaclols morcor less parallel to the ship
from which the gun is fired, and unit is
near or remote. the position of the obsta
cle may thus be inferred. .
The board reported that De la Torre's
method was firing a blank cartridge from
a rifle in the presence of objects as small
as u. spar buoy and as large as a fort. and
catching the return sound or echo. He
claims that a sharp sound projected at or
nearly at. an object. and only when so
directed. will in every case return some of
the sound sent. so that theoretically there
will always be an echo, and the difference
in the time between the sound sent and
the echo will indicate the remoteness of
the object. The board found that a re
turn sound could be heérd. from the side
of a fort a half mile 03. from passing
steamers a. quarter mile of! if broadside to.
from bluffs and sails of vessels about tho'

Milk 3 Cheap Rood.
, 'A recent medical writer expresses sur-
prise at the want of appreciation~even
among medical men—of the real value of
milk. in comparison with other articles of
food, and. in the case of housekeepers
especially. who frequently find it difficult
to achieve as great a variety in articles of
diet as is desirable. this artICIe is profuse
in the facilities thus provided. In partic-
ular, it would appear that, so far as its
nutritive value is concerned, milk is far
frombeing understood. as compared with
other articles of animal food. Again,
there is less different» between the econom-
ical value of milk. beefsteak, eggs, or fish
than is commonly supposed. Thus the
quantity of water in good milk is 87 per
cent... in round steak 75 percent., infatter
beef 00 per cent... and in eggs about 68
per cent.
Now. from analyses made. it is esti-
mated that sirloin steak. reckoning the
loss from bone. is as dear at thirty-five
cents a pound ' as milk at twenty-four
cents a quart: that round steak at twenty
cents a pound is as dear as milk at four-
teen cents a quart. and corned beef at
seventeen cents as dear as milk at fifteen.
The result from these deductions seems to
be that milk at even twelve cents a quart
is the cheapest animal food that can be

belong to a higher level of civilization
than has yet been reached. and may be
prophetic "The doctor should come and
go like the clergyman and priest. instead
of being a. necessary evil. whose visits are
avoided as longas possible, and which are
a source of uneasiness when necessarily
multiplied. He should be a minister and
guardian of health. an officer of the
family. upon whose special wisdom free,
' early and constant ’f'elianco is placed. The
eradication of inherited tendencies to
disease, the direct improvement. of the
physical and mental measure (if stocks.
the development of a hardy constitution
.in weak children. the recognition and
arrest of many fatal or nlc diseases in
their lncipiency. before t ey are too old to
. be controlled. the arrest of acute inflam-
