Once Cupid was weeping in pain and dismay
And railing at cheating and theft,
For he’d lost both his bow and his arrows at
play
And all of a quiver was left.
“What arms have I now," cried the child in
despair,
“To kindle the heart into flame?
My power is vanished! Oh, ill shall I fare
In lands that are loveless and tame. ”
At the thought of this bitterestrcup he must
sup—
His tears into rivulets ran,
But they suddenly stopped, and a laugh bub-
bled up
To his lips, for he thought of a plan:
“How foolish, how foolish, this son ow to
show,
To fill all the air with my sighs!
For what is the need of my arrow and bow
When I can use Nellic’s gray eyes?"
-—Rowan Stevens in Kate Field’s Washington.
Staggered by Finger Bowls.
A very amusing scene occurred once
while I was serving a lady and gentle-
man of the unmistakable upstart type.
They were grossly ignorant of the most
elementary rules of table etiquette, shov-
eling the food into thei1 months with
, their knives, which wereconstantly load-
ed half way up to the handles. They
managed to struggle through their din-
ner, sometimes casting aside knives and
forks and attacking game and poultry by
cutting them in halves and eating from
their hands, holding the leg. Sometimes,
too, they became ridiculously polite by
carving bread with knife and fork, but
the climax came when I set two bowls
of rosewater before them as finger
glasses. '
They looked at each other, and then
cautiously around the room, trying to
find some solution of themysterious dish
before them, not having the sense to ig-
nore it altogether. Whispered consulta-
tions took place, which presently grew
into a suppressed quarrel, the lady re-
proaching her lord for his ignorance.
Suddenly she was seen to shake the wa-
ter around and around, and finally. with
a look of contempt and r Jerior wis-
dom, she raised the bowl to her lips and
drank all the contents. Needless to say
. that the hearty laughter of the other di-
ners made them feel the mistake, and
they beat a hasty retreat.——London Tit-
Bits.
Mud Shoes For Horses.
We doubt if very many persons ever
saw mud shoes for horses. They are
used on horses in plowing the low and
wetlands of the valley north of Sumner
nearly every. spring. The mud shoe con-
sists of a heavy board about 8 inches
wide and from 8 to 10 inches long, round-
ing in the front. On this board a red-
hot shoe of the size worn 011 the horse s
foot for which it is intended 1s placed
until it burns into it to a depth almost
sufficient to bury itself. It 13 necessary
that the shoe have a long toe and long
corks. A piece of circular band iron to
fit over the top part of, the beef is then
attached to the board and over the hoof
to hold the mud shoe solidly to the foot.
One end of the band is fastened to the
board with a screw,~which when tight-
ened holds the board as squarely to the
bottom of the hoof as if it had grown
there. The horses become accustomed
to wearing them and after a day or two
experience no difficulty in working in
them. By this means farmers are en-
abled to plow land in the spring where
without the use of mud shoes horses
would mire down—Sumner (Wash)
Herald.
APOSTROPHE OF TIME.
0 spirit stern of time, in thy unceasing flight.
How fall the works and monuments of earthly
might!
’Neath thy rude hand all pleasures flee away
And happy y esterday turns du ‘1 today!
The sweetest joy becomes the saddest sorrow
In contemplation of the stern tomorrow.
Oh, stay awhile and help me banish worry.
In other words. don‘t be in such a hurry.
An instant linger—tarry, please! You won’t?
Well, then, go chase yourself! Begone!

Fasting Versus Antifat.
Miss Mollie N ealson set out to fast 31
days. She had more pluck than strength,
but she managed to complete the task.
The only interesting thing m connection
with the feat' is the fact that her weight
fell from 202 to 164 pounds, a loss of, I}.
pounds a day. This would indicate that
ordinary fasting, as it is called, would
not be a very eflicient antifat remedy.
If Miss Nealson wishes to continue her '
explorations in this line of science, she
may yet Meme 9.- public benefactor.
Certainly a young woman who weighs
200 pounds has- a. strong personal in-
centive. -—New York World.

Fishermen’s Superstitions.
At the beginning of the herring season
the crew all try to seize the herring first
on board, to see if it be male or female.
If it is a'male, their fishing may In ex-
pected to be a poor one; if a female, 21
good one. Sometimes, however, the
skipper secures it and hides it away, salt—
ing wit and laying it past for the season.
The boat must not be turned against t‘- is
sun. Certain animals considered of ill
omen must not be spoken of in the boat,
and ministers in this respect occupy the
same place as rabbits, hares and pigs.
Fishermen do not like to lend anything
to a neighboring boat, lest their luck
should go with it. If they lend a match,
they will contrive—secretly if possible——
to break it and keep part, hoping thereby
to .retain their luck. Their dislike to
have anything stolen is increased by the
fear that the thief may have stolen their
luck v 'ith it. To ask the question,
“Where are you geing?" of any one who
is going on board is equivalent to de-
stroying all his chances for that time.
Persons with certain names are held to
be of bad omen, the dreaded names be-
ing different in different villages.———Notes
and Queries.
Back From Georgia.
She drove up to the depot in an old
cart drawn by an 0:; vith lines attached
to his horns, ands he repeated her in-
quiries about . the t1..';11 from the cast so
often that the depot agent finally asked:
“Are you expecting friends on that
train?”
“I’m lookin fur my son Sam an his
wife,” she replied.
“Coming on a visit?”
“No, sah. They dun moved over to
Georgy six months'ago, but they doan’
like it and are comiu back.’
“Mighty good state that Georgia. ”
“I’ve hearn say so, but Sam can’t
a-bea-r it. Good lands and good crops,
but the people is too scrumptious.”
“How scrumptious?” he queried.
“I doan exactly know, but I reckon
Sam can explain. He had I: bin thar’ but
fo’ months when they tarred an feathered
him an rode him all over the country on
arail.”—-Detroit Free Press.
Grief of a. Pet Pigeon.
One morning one of the two pet p1-
geons belonging to my father was found
upon the highroad dead, its body bearing
marks of injury, but from what cause we
never know. “To carried the dead body
home and buried it in a sunny and quiet
spot- in the garden. For three days the
surviving pigeon with until-ing energy
searched the country far and near for its
mate, but in vain. It refused to touch
food, and even the influence which my
father usually exercised over it was gone.
On the third day we found it dead in the
dovecot, its little heart broken with grief
by the loss of its lifelong companion.
We buried it beside its mate—Cor. Lon-
don Spectator.
Burglar Proof Safe Quickly Melted.
Mr. Swan, the English electrician, de-
clared recently that he had seen electric-
a1 blowpipes capable of melting the
stoutest iron so rapidly thatto melt into
a fire and burglar proof safe with this
instrument would be the work of only a
few minutes and would be both an easy
and noiseless operation. As, however. it
would require a 40-horsepower engine
to operate such a scientific tool, banks
need be under no apprehension from this
mode of attack on their vaults—New
York Telegram.
Secondhand Platinum.
Not a little platinum is sold as old
metal and usually comes in the form of
bits of wire and scraps from broken in-
candescent lamps. It is now largely used
by dentists, but it is sent to New York
for treatment, as it can only be melted
by means of a compound blowpipe, and
there is no place in Boston where that
is done—Boston Herald.
Nothing will give permanent success
in any enterprise of life except native
capacity cultivated by honest and per-
» severing effort. Genius is often but the
capacity for receiving and improving by
discipline—George Eliot.
The greatest point of resemblance be-
tween the liveries of the present day and
the “robes de livree” whence they derive
their name is that they are provided by
the masters as they used to be given by
the king.

tore up oaks by- the roots, dismantled
churches, laid villages waste and-4over-

A CURE FOR SNORING
_ AGREAT OPPORTUNITY FGR A SOBER'
PHILANTHROPIST. .
A Terrible and at Present Incurablo Dis-
ease That Breaks Up Homes and Destroys
Lifelong Friendships—A Cure For This
Would Be a Boon. ' I
several years ago, when that best of
table companions, D011 Piatt, was alive,
we had arranged to-have a little dinner
together at an up town cafe. I was on
time, but Piatt was late. ' When he did
come, he looked grave and said in the
low and well modulated voice so memo-
rable:
“I am sorry, but the simple truth is I
discover that I am afliicted with an ail-
ment that will not yield to treatment——
one indeed for which 6,000 years of med-
ical science have not been able to find a
cure.”
Though always on my guard for a joke,
the sadly solemn face of my friend ab-
solved him this time,- and with all the
sympathy I could throw into my words
I exclaimed:
“Why, my dear Piatt, don’t you be-'
lieve it! What 1s this malady?”
“Alas, old age! I set out to walk here.
It was too much of an undertaking.” .
The timeliness of this reference to the
infirmities of age is accentuated by sev-
eral important cases in court that have
depended upon the incurability of snor—
ing. This vexatious affliction to which
the human family is heir has increased
in this country with alarming rapidity
since the advent of la grippe. Its changed
character is recognized by progressive
physicians, and the definitions found in
the dictionarie's are now admitted to be
quite wide of .the mark. Webster inti-
mates clearly, by tracing the etymology
of the word, thatthe nose is the impor-
tant organ in producing the noise during
sleep.
This belief must have been general in
the last generation, for we all know that
a Clothespin was the remedy best thought
of in practice. That treatment was no
more severe than cupping and far more
direct in ' application. But during the
past five or six years, or since the French
form of influenza fastened upon us, there
has been amarked and alarming increase
111 the number of people addicted to
snoring. It is a peculiarity of this mal-
ady that the sufferers are not confined to
those attacked. Like the delirium tre- 1
mens, the comet habit and other obnox-
ious forms of nervous unrest, snoring
awakens an antagonism in the human
breast that mere medicine is powerless
to subdue.
Those who fail to agree with me as to
the gravity, the seriousness or the time-
liness of these remarks are requested to
communicate by mail, and they will be
made acquainted with a case in point
that will amply convince them.
An acquaintance living on West End
avenue is now suffering from the most
thoroughly developed case of snoring
that has appealed to medical science in
recent times. His life up to the past
year has been exemplary, but it is the
plain, unvarnished truth to say that he
now looks upon himself as a victim to
the inadequacy of medical science to
reach his case. His wife has left him,
taking the children with her, and while
it is unlikely that the case in Wis-
consin will be taken as a precedent fer
procuring a divorce there can be no.
doubt that the couple are irrevocably
separated. That husband was deeply at-
tached to his wife. He took the best of
medical advice. He even visited that
city of physicians, Philadelphia, in the
hope of restoration to a normal method
of sleeping.
His medical experience was extensive.
He began with anod yne and ended with
a serious contemplation of deadly strych-
nine. He tried oxides and bromides,
nerve foods and antifats, lactics and
laxatives, iodides and chlorides, acids
and alkalis, oatmeal and cornmeal. Al-
ternating with these he took beer, baths
and blisters. Knowing that belladonna
made large the pupils of the eyes, he
searched for a medicine that would have
the effect of a mydratic upon the nos-
trils. Then he went to Dr. Curtis'and
had the cartilage of his nose removed.
Somebody told him about the Prince of
Wales being cured of insomnia by the
use of a hop Pillow, and he tried that—
without effect. His case was incurable!
He grew desperate. He resorted to at-
rophine, camphine, benzine—bombazine!
At this stage his wife left him, and one
by one the servants in the house gave no-
tice.
Thus was a household wrecked be-
cause the head of it snored.
We all regard with serious apprehen-
sion the threatened approach of epi-
demics from the old world, and we re-
member. that from the same old world
was brought the sad, sad infirmity of
snoring—a gift that we could have done
without and would have been happier
had they kept at home.
Now that a recognition of the deplor-
able seriousness of snoring is forthcom-
ing I would soberly suggest that some
philanthropist offer a prize for the spe-
cific that will antagonize and destroy this
sunderer of homes and destroyer of hap-
piness. The remedy must be real and
the cure effected permanent.
Snoring must be removed from the
categOry of incurable afflictions—Julius
Chambers in New York Recorder.
The Proprietor’s Only Remedy.
A certain clerk in a Detroit establish-
ment, who has money of his min, but
holds a. position for the ‘ looks of the
thing, recently became impressed by the
idea that he was working too hard, and
he wentto the manager about it.-
“I came to see yen,” he said to that po-
tentate, “about my duties here. ”
‘ ‘What about them?” inquired the man-
“I want fewer working hours.”
The manager had his owuwiqws on the
subject. '
“Well, ” he said thoughtfully, “I don’t
see how we can arrange it, unless we
make more than 24 hours constitute a
day,” and that ended the strike—Detroit
