The Real Drummer.
"The term 'drummer,'" said a trav
eling salesman for a Market street
wholesale house, "has come to he re
garded as synonymous with cheek,
flashiness and dissipation. Just why
this should be I don't know, unless
people get the idea from stage jokes
and comic papers. Perhaps years ago
there was some justification for it.
but there is no room for that sort of
man today. Competition is too keen.
The traveling salesman who stands
well with his trade and with his own
firm must attend strictly to business.
It may sound strange and contrary to
general belief, but most men in my
line of work are of a r-ligious turn.
Some ge into the churchgoing habit
while stopping over Sunday in small
towns, where there is nothing else to
do. They get interested in religion
and wind up by joining the church.
Then, too, the country :nerchant is
usually a man of affairs iir his town
and is generally a pillar of the church,
and the churchgoing drummer is apt
to make a greater impression on him
than does one who is more worldly."

The Java Mangosteen.
"The most delicious of all the fruits
of Java," writes a correspondent of the
Pittsburg Dispatch, "is the mangos
teen. For years an enormous reward
ntwaited the man who would -bring a
basket to the court of Ilolland, but un
fortunately the fruit is too perishable,
and to taste it you must go to the coun
try where it grows.
Incased in a hard purple shell, lined
with an exquisite pink gauze, are a
number of snow white sections some
thing like those of an orange, only each
one growing smaller as they round the
core. Each section contains one seed
incased in a substance like the pulp of
the grape. To describe the flavor would
be impossible, but if you can' imagine
a perfect blending of the flavor of the
grape, orange, pineapple and banana
y-ou may have a notion of the delicious
flavor of the mangosteen."
James Settled It.
Two boys in a rural Scotch district
were one day discussing what sign it
was when the cuckoo is heard for the
rst time in the year. One of them
aid it was a sign of getting married,
Ihile the other said it was a sign that
you were going to be rich. A farmer,
verhearing them, said, "That cannot
je true, because I have heard it many
imes, and I am not married yet, and
[am certainly not rich."
Just then a local worthy, known as
Daft Jamie," was passing by, and the
tarmer said. "Jamie, can you tell us
what sign it is when you hear the
uckoo for the first time ?' "Yes," said
}amie as he took his pipe from his
routh, "it's a sign you're not deaf."

A Rlare Drug.
"The price of many drugs used in
edicine is astonishing to those who
are not acquainted with the subject,"
emarked a druggist to a Philadelphia
Times representative. "There are sev
eral that are worth their weight in gold
(about $20 an ounce), while $2, $3 and
9 an ounce are quite common prices
n pharmacy. But there is one drug
that I can recall which is worth more
than its weight in gold. This is pseudo
;hysostigmine. I don't think .that it
has a popular name. It is too rich for
that. In the pharmacists' list it is
uoted at $1 a grain, or $437.50 an
ounce. The seed from which the drug
is made grows In India and Brazil, as
ell as in parts of South Africa. This
eed, tradition says. was once used by
native chiefs as an ordeal. The ordeal
generally resulted in the death of the
man upon whom it was tried and so it
was considered as a great truth finder.
The prepared drug is sometimes used
now in prescriptions for the treatment
of heart disease."
First English Book on Sport.
The first book on sport ever printed
in the English language was a rhymed
treatise called the "Boke of St. Al

Juliana Berners. Its second edition was
printed by Wynkyn do Worde in,1400
descendant of her family, Lord Ber
ners, was the translator of Froissart's
"Chronicles." It is true that old manu
scripts existed, such as the "Venerie
o Twecy" of the time of Edward II.,
but it was Dame Juliana who was the
real ancestress of sporting literature
in England, for she also composed an
essay on hawking and another on
"Fishing With an Angle," the last be
ing of such excellence that Izaak Wal
ton himself did not disdain to take a
hint from its pages.
"Eating Crow."
The term "eating crow" comes fr'om
an ante Revolutionary story. A sol
:dier of an English regiment stationed
in Virginia shot a pet crowv belonging
to a farmer. The latter entered a
:omplaint with the colonel, who sen
tenced the soldier to eat the crow.
The farmer was loft alone with the
soldier to see that he did it. After
the soldier had consumed a portion of
the bird be took his gun. presented it
at the farmer and told him to eat the
remainder of the cr'ow or he would
shoot him. This was the origin of the
eating crow story.

Ages of Birds.
Among birds the swan lives to b
the oldest, in extreme cases reachin
200 years. The falcon has been know
to live 102 years. An eagle died in 181
which had been caught 104 years b
fore and was then quite old. -A whit
beaded vulture. which was caught i
1700, died in tie aviary at Schonbrui
near Vienna, in 1824. Parrots live mor
than a century. Water birds have
long life, exceeding that of several ger
rations of men. ravens also live ove
ashundred years.
In captivity magpies live from twex
ty to twenty-five years. and still longe
in freedom. The common hen attain
the age of from fifteen to twenty year,
Doves live ten years and the little sinj
ing birds from eight to seventeen year,
The nightingale's life is the shortes
ten years being the longest, and nei
comes the blackbird, which never live
longer than fifteen years.
