S 1 Feu3 I of ys;2tera q~ Beecher and the Phrenologist How a Strolling Bump-Reader Exam- c Ined the Great Pulpit Orator's Head and Told the Truth His Abilities. While Henry Ward Beecher was all a his life in most vigorous health, both t mental and physical, never suffering serious illness until the mortal attack, a he was nevertheless a yearly victim of hay fever. He found his only re- y lief from hay fever in a sojourn In u the White Mountains, and he was ao customed to leave his farm, near Peekskill, N. Y., in mid-July and to re main in New Hampshire until the t frost. He was utterly democratic in t his mapner and unconventional in his dress, so that anyone who dad not t know him would be likely to judge I that he was a farmer who had saved I a little money and was spending a I portion of it in a summer vacation at 1 a White mountain hotel. Many Farm- e er1 at that time were accustome'i to i do this. One summer morning in the late seventies Beecher sat upon the piazza of his hotel, reeading a newspaper. Upon his head was his black felt hat, the brim of which was so broad that it flapped In the breeze. He wore an old-fashioned turndown collar, with a sort of black string for a necktie. His trousers were beggy, as usual A few of his friends sat near him, chatting, when suddenly there appeared around the corner of the piassa a quaint and curious specimen of humanity. He was a large-eyed, long-haired man, with the beard of a prophet. In one hand he carried a satchel and in the other what appeared to be a chart or a map rolled up. "I'm a phrenologist," he said by way of introduction to the little gro'p that sat opposite Beecher. "I can tell by feeling what kind of brain a man has." "Well," spoke up one of the party, assuming a cautious manner and al most whispering, "Ill give you a dol lar if you'll examine the bumps on that old farmer's head"--motioning toward Beecher-"and if we find that you hit It pretty nearly straight, why, then, some of us may have our heads examined." The phbdroloist approaches Mr. Beecher. "The gentlemen want me to examine your head," he explained. "I am a phrenologist I can tell you more than you know about yourself." Beecher at once suspecting that his friends were intent upon playing a Joke, solemnly took of his hat The pbreaologist t.gas to fumble through the asses of salvergray hair. Sud denly he stopped sad stepped back in astealhment. Aristocrat and the Ex-Slave Peouliar Intimacy That Existed Beo tween Blanche K. Bruoe and L. Q. C. Lamar From the Time That Both Were Eleeted Senators. In 1875 Blanche K. Bruce, born in slavery, and the first negro to sit in the United States senate, was made a member of that body by the Missis sippi legislature. Two yeers later that state named as its other senatorial representative L. Q. C. Lamar, who had drafted the ordinance of seces sone adopted by Misslssippi, led his regiment at Yorktown and Williams barg, and otherwise labored assid uously In behalf of the Confederacy. In color, nl antecedests, in trtainng. in politics, the enzlave and the man who was destined to witn a seat on the United 8tates Supreme court, were a far apart as the poles; yet shortly after Mr. Lamar had become senator It wa noticed with more or less aston ishment in various quarters that he and the seor seator from Mtasi. aippi were go the most friendly terms There are old residents in Washing toa who doubtless can easily recall how Senator Lamar and Senator Brace deed to walk arm In arm about the residential streets do the capital city and through its parks and squares. Seeingly, It never occur red to the white man that the com pal of his outings was of another race, that his early life had been speat in bondage. And when Senator Brvee retired frto the mseate sad be came registrar of the treasury In 1881, the intimacy between him and Senator Lamar continued, their walks about Washington being ample outward evidence of their friendship. Together, during all the period that both men were In the senate, they weould visit the postomce department Beseeoenoe and Gratitude. Oae day the Supreme Being took it into His head to give a great banquet in His Asure palace. All the virtues were Invited. Men He did not ask-only ladies There was a large number of them, great and small. The lesser virtues were more agreeable and genial than the pget mass; but they all appeared to be in good humor and chatted area together. Bot the Supreme Being noticed two srmsag ladies who seemed to he to The gave one of the ladies His ars, and led her up to the other. aemuseI he seaid, tindicatting the A Be added, Indiating Sglpuss were aased heo SDer amce the world L- h b.ee . atmag a -M thwa time they Wat ..

You've got the biggest development of language that I have ever met with. And you're full of wit and humor. You can talk so as to make people cry, or to make them laugh. Where's your farm?" "My farm is at Peekskill, N. Y., said Mr. Beecher. "I thought it wapn't around here; your head is not like a New Hamp shire farmer's. Do you make your farm pay?" "I have never been able to make it pay. It costs me every year more than I get out of it," Beecher replied, truthfully. "Of course! Why, if you'd taken to talking-public speaking-you could have earned money enough to run a farm, and get plenty of money out oi it besides, no matter what it cost. You've made a mistake. Your teach ers ought to have told you that you would makl a public speaker.'" Saw Treatment in a Dream Dr. M. O. Terry While Asleep Re celved Instructions That Develop ed Into His Oil Cure of Many Kinds of Enteric Diseases. A well-known encyclopedic authori ty states that the name of James Marion Sims "deserves a place as an inventive genius among toe great surgeons of the world." It was Sims who, about the middle of the last oen tury, substituted silver wire for silk and other sutures, first making this daring experiment in a peculiar and hitherto incurable disease, and then extending the use of metallic sutures to general surgery. For some time he had been making a study of the hitherto incurable mal ady. He knew that the common silk suture would be eaten away by acids before the wound made by an opera tion could heal; it was this fact that made the disease incurable. He was puzzling over this apparently insur mountable obstacle one day when he walking about the streets of Mont gomery, Ala., where be made his great experiment, when he saw a hairpan of the common black wire variety lying ppon the sidewalk. In stantly, an idea flashed into his mind. He picked up the hairpin, took it to a silversmith, and asked the latter if he could draw a silver dollar into a wire much finer than the hairpin. When informed that this could be done. relative to appointments. Whenever it became necessary for him to go to the department, Senator Lamar would courteously ask his negro colleague to accompany him, and more than once they were seen making their way there arm in arm, as though they were old cronies. And it was noticed that the advances invariably came from Senator Lamar; that Senator Bruce did not preeume upon the official re lations that existed between him and Senator Lamar to force his personal attentions upon the latter. At the beginning of Grover Cleve land's first term as president Benator Lamar became secretary of the inte rior. Not long thereafter he sent word to Senator Bruce, then getting ready to retire as registrar of the treasury, that he would like to see him. A little later the secretary was receiving the registrar as he would an old friend, and confessing to him that he doubted whether he was as well equipped for an executive office as he was for a judicial or legislative post "But," he said, "I am going to make as good a secretary of the interior as I am able." Then he brought up a personal matter. "Senator," he asked, "how many ap pointees of yours age there in this de partment " "Well," replied Bruce, "I can't tell of-hand, but possibly there is a larger number here than I should have asked for." "Do you think so, Senator?" querted Seeretary Lamar. "Well, I have sett for you simply to say this: Not one of your appointees in this departmeet shall be touched. You can tell them all that they need feel no anxiety; they shall stay here as long as I am t secretary of the interior." (Copyright. IS6. by EL J.

There was an episode In the life of Miss Ada Rehan that did not need the embellishmeats of the press agent to make It "go the rounds." In 1881 there was a celebration of the sa reader at Yorktown. and a number of Frenchmen of state attended, Includ ag General Boulanger. Included In the entertainment of these guests, the program of which was assigned by Mr. Blan, the secretary of state, to Mr. Creighton Webb, was a visit to Daly's theater. The French party was delighted with the play and es peielaly with Miss Rehan. When the lmeachmen were told that Mr. Daly weeld be pleased to take them on the stage between acts and Intreodse them to members of the campay, bolsear malsste an excited ea t-mias at the prospect. When ulagrr was latroadues to Beecher did not wince. He asked the phrenologist if ii was too late to begin speaking, and for reply was told: "It's never too late to begin." Then the phrenologist walked over to the little group. "That's the first farmer whose head I ever examined who could have been a speaker," he said. "That man could talk like a steam engine.' "Do you know who that farmer is?" asked one of the party. "That is Hen ry Ward Beecher." For a moment the phrenologist stood looking in dumb amazement at the speaker. Then he dropped his satchel and chart on the porch and fairly leaped in front of Mr. Beecher. "So you're Henry Ward Beecher," he shrilled. "To think I've examined your head and told the truth about you! Well, now, youll believe there's something in phrenology." And look ing long and wonderingly at the great pulpit orator, the itinerant phrenol ogist at last gathered up his satchel and chart and disappeared as quietly and mysteriously as he had come.

Sims gave instructions for a dollar to be drawn into a wire that had the thinness of a coarse thread; and with this thread of silver he was able to complete successfully his difcult op- i eration, thereby banishing a hitherto d incurable disease, and establishing a L new era in American surgery. o In an equally extraordinary manner came the first hint to its originator of what has come to be known in the medical world as the oil treatment in d enteric cases, which include appendi citia and typhoid. By originating this treatment Dr. M. O. Terry gained world-wide notoriety. Yet until now it has never been published how he got the germ of the idea that caused him to promulgate his famous treat meat. "It was a curious experience, verg ing on the weird, almost, that first led me to the study of medical sufficiency of oil in the treatment of many kinds of enteric diseases, especially ap pendicitis," said Dr. Terry. "I was very fond of olives-and am yet--and it was my custom after a day spent in the hospitals and in fol lowing my private practis; to eat a handful of olives, with a few crack ers on the side, before going to bed. Frequently, I was careless and left the bottle of olives unoorke, so that when I went again to it I usually found the contents incrusted with a sort of scum, and the olives them selves turned sour. "Well, one night, after a hard day's work, including two very diicult op erations, I fell into a sound sleep. And a dream came to me. It was as vivid as though I were awake. And in it I was told that if, after opening a bottle of olives, I would pour upon the water in which the olives were packed in the bottle enough oil com pletely to cover the water, I would have no further diiculty about my olives souring. "Furthermore, I was told the philo i sophy of this. 'If you pour oil into t the bottle,' it was said to me in the dream, 'it will float upon the top of the water, it will make an absolutely impervious coating. No germs from I the air can penetrate it. It will I smother all germs, for that is the quality of oil. Therefore, your olives will be protected.' r "I awoke, and reached out to my night table, 'which always stood by t my bed, and made a brief note in my note book. Then I went to sleep again. "In the morning I discovered the note upon my table, and I said: To night I will make the experiment.' I did so, and found that what had been said to me in the dream was true. The olives were perfectly protected from all germs. "Now, that set me thinking. I rea soned that if oil were taken into di gestive organs, it would thoroughly insulate them-prevent attacks upon s them by bacteria; or, if attack had been made, it would smother the 0 forces of illness. I soon had an op ~ortunity to make a test of my newly formed theory, in the case of a child who was dangerously Ill, and, to my Sgratification, I found It worked pet ectly. Then I developed the theory to etend It to typhold fever, and es ipecally to appendicitis; and it is t through my advocacy of the oil treat 1 meat in the cases of appendicitis that t have not yet reachid the scnte stage, n with pas formed-when the knifs ti '; the only remedy-4hat I have gained m professional advoeates and opponents pretty much over the civilised world."

MiiAKE CLUSETI SPACE ARRANGEMENT THAT GREATLY INCREASES CAPACITY. Hangers That Can Be Lifted Up to the Ceiling Will Be Found of Much Value-Use for Old Fashioned Secretary. Help for dwellers in apartments whose closet room is contested comes in hangers teat can be poked up to the celling. Therefore that space be tween the top and the line of books which hitherto has been wasted be comes of value by means of one or two rods stretched across about four inches below the ceiling. The value of this arrangement is not only in use of space that has been idle, but that long dresses may be hoisted so high that they are not in the way when entering the closet Whether one or two rods may be used in this fashion depends upon the depth of the closet There must. however, be space enough to permit all garments being placed on coat hangers. The racks which are to be skied are those ordinarily used, and to make the handling of garments placed so high easy there is a long stick, with a hook at the end, which may be used to lift clothes down and put them back without reaching. The rods should be put across the closet, or from end to end, but ar rangeemtns depend, somewhat upon the shape of the closet. Needless to add such garments as are skied should be those not worn every day. and the stick for taking them down should be kept in the closet. A woman who has lived for many years in an apartment finds an old fashloned secretary a useful piece of furniture, because of the number of different articles it will hold. The lower section is always either drawets or a cupboard, and underclothes or other garments may be tucked away in such manner that they may be easily taken out. The top always has doors and shelves. If the doors are ao glass thye can be backed by plain or figured silk, fulled on rods. In the hidden space thus arranged no end of articles, large and small, may be plaed An old-fashioned bookcase. which betins at the floor, and is about five feet high, may be converted into a othe closet.

Many persons decline to have boll e eggs for breakfast for the reason that they are somewhat of a nuisance to prepare, after they have been brought to the table, and before they can be eaten. A few are A&nteat to have the waiter or servant do this, but the pleasure of dispatching this dainty breakfast morsel is marred by the knowledge that it is almost impossible to open a hot boiled egg without the fingers of the opener comtkg into in timate contact with the contents of the shell. This uncertainty is overeome by the use of the device shown in the aecom panying cut. The apparatus consists of two porcelain cups about three inches high, with a rubber egg holder in the top of each, as illustrated. One of the cups has a metallic pivoted striker, actuated by a coil spring. In operating an egg is placed in one cup, as shown, then pressing the two cups firmly together the striker is let go with a quick snap, which will cut the egg shell and permit the loose con tents of the shell to be emptied into an egg cup or glass. The remainder of the shell contents can be removed with a spoon. The empty shells may be loosened from the holders with a spoon. By using this device it is only necessary to touch the egg when plae inl it in the sheller, and even that may be avoided by putting it in with a spoon. Broth for the Chlldren. A most delicious food for children just beginning to eat and for invalids: Buy a pound of the best round steak, remove every particle of fat and put through the food chopper. Put the chopped steak into a two quart glass, preserving jar, and add a tablespoon ful of tapioca. F11 the jar with cold water, put on the cover and see the jar intu a pan of cold water. Be sure that the pan holds water enough to cover two-thirds of the jar, and as it boils away renew it Now put the pan containing the Jar into the oven and cook for six hours. At the end of that time reaove the jar and strain the contents through a fine sieve. This makes a most delicious and nour ishing broth. A cupful of this with a few crackers or toasted bread makes a fine dinner for a child or a nick person. Farina Bread. Make porridge of parina as for breakfa~t.

A Back Numbe" ,r By JEANNE O. LOIZEAUX Copyright. 910, by A latad LAttwrrU Prea Stanley Pierce, at his desk in the middle ofnce, bent his head over his I bookkeeplng. and wislhed to goodnaas I that when he stayed to work over time the girls in the outer office would a go home and stop their chatter. He 1 was at the head of hIs department, a and was anxious that there should be p no errors-he was always coming toll the ofce early and leaving late. His fine shoulders were stooped a little, c and his dark hair was thinning on top. He was probably thirty-he look- I ed forty. His face was weary and pas' sive. Then, hearing his name spoke I in Queenle Dawson's clear young voice I he looked up quickly, showing a pair of dark eyes, alert and keen. "Why Stanley Pierce?" she asked. and Ruthle Carter replied. "Let's ask him anyhow. He be longs to the force as much as we--" "More," snapped Queenie; "he's a thousand years old----" Ruth interrupted her. "And it's the irst free Saturday afternoon of the summer tomorrow, and we need aa other man for the picnic anyway. He may not go, but let's ask him. He's nice. and he'd enjoy it. He lives 'way out somewhere with an old maid ss ter. It's no wonder he's drying up!" "I'm not a missionary!" retorted Queenie. "He'll think it his duty to go and will be a wet blanket on the fun. Imagine him trying to flirt! Do leave him in peace, girls, and ask a real, live man-he's a back number, a mere column of figures!" "No," declared 'Ruth, and Cusle seconded her. "He's saved us from the chief's ire many's the time-always doing some body else's work. "Oh, it you're so smitten on him, Ruth, very well! Only you'll have the dullest day of your life, for you'll have to annex him--I won't!" Then, some one seemed suddenly to be aware that the door was ajar; a trightened little silence followed. Pierce heard a suppressed giggle, and then he remembered it was sheaefal to listen, and stepped softly through the open door back into the private ofice, now deserted. He was iste inside when one of the girls looked into the middle room, and marked with relief that probably he bad been out of heaing distaacs five minutes later, seemingly qutte qaeascilous of the other, he came out and prepared to leave The girls gathered penitently about him-save Qusenie, who held her head high ad watched blm fro a earne as she adjusted her hat.
