HUMAN BAIT,
ffh Man. Who Gather Leaches In the
8wampa of England.
Pale and lean, he spoke In a low
voice, crumbling a water cracker:
"Dtrin' la hard work, and sulphur
mlnln' Is "Bard work, but how'd you
like to be bait at 4 shlllin' a day?
That ain't quite a dollar.
"I was human bait for a leech dealer
fa England all one spring. It was back
in the eighties, but I ain't never recov
ered the healthy color and weight what
I lost I guess I never will now.
, "Down Nr folk way I baited down
in the Norfolk broads. Broads is
swamps. All them swamps, together
with the mild, moist climate, makes
Norfolk a great place for leeches. Me
and a dozen other chaps was leech
bait.
"We would wade In with our breeches
rolled up to our knees, and as soon as
we'd feel a leech on our legs we'd tear
him off and drop him in a basket slung
jX-m the shoulder. Quick as thunder
jwd do it, but he'd be considerable
Hejhped out even In that little while,
iiiid when a dosen leeches settled on
you together the last of 'em by the
time you got sound to him would be as
fat and heavy as a lump of lead, whilst
you'd be that much lighter nateherly.
"In the late spring the leeches took
to deep water. Then the bait bad to
strip and wade In up to their chins.
With all that surface to look after, we
played a losln' game with the leeches.
The quickest of us couldn't stand
tnore'n four hours of It without most
f statin" from weakness. And the pain!
For some parts of the human bait Is
mighty sensitive, I tell you.
"The trade's died out now. There's
do more call for leeches, and If s a
good thing. Beta' bait Is too hard on
a man. It's worms' work." New Or
leans Times-Democrat.
SAFE BOTH WAYS,
fh Why Rajah Birbar Saved Hie
Head by Ready Wit.
Rajah Birbar, a boon companion of
3e Efcaperor Akbar, the great con
temporary of Queen Elizabeth, was a
lotafcle wit The story goes that the
smperor onee seat Birbar with a mes
sage to the king of Persia.
The latter, tor some reason or other,
tore a grudge toward the rajah and In
order to see htm lose' the emperdr's
favor thought of a device.
He asked Birbar: "Which of us two
s greater In power and majesty I or
ikjstt'l - Bat, mind you, If your an
swer Is In any way unfavorable to me
will order your head to be struck
foiir majesty," replied Birbar wlth
ut loss of time, "is like the full moon,
Khil4 the emperor, my master, resem
bles the crescent"
The king was highly pleased with
Us reply and let him go.
This news was, however, carried to
aJtbar, who was wild with rage when
to heard it When Birbar returned to
Us master's court he was asked to ex
plain himself on pain of death.
"My comparison," said Birbar,
.only, this much, . and nothing
goto that the decline of the Persian
king's power bad commenced, just as
the fun moon, after it is full, goes on
trailing, while your majesty is destined
jo rise on and one till, like the crescent
tocoming the full moon in time, it will
ihine forth with magnificent splendor
The emperor, who was a great patron
f wit and wisdom, heaped the rajah
with rewards.
Clerk's Elbow.
"Bo remove shiny spots from coat
elbows and trousers seats," said a clerk
-"til teU you how it Is done."
The sun was strong on him as, upon
his lofty stool, he munched his mid
lay sandwich from thin, Ink smeared
angers, but on his old clerk's coat and
aid trousers no shiny spots reflected
tho fight
1 'Clerks' elbow such spots are call
ed,': be said. "Irs like housemaids
cnee. To cure it you soak the glittering-spot
in cold water for half an
sour. Then you take a teasel that s a
rery stiff thistle and you rub the
pot with it till a nap or fuss is
raised up. Then with a clothesbrush
rou.lay the nap down the right way,
md, presto, the shine Is gone!" New
Orleans Times-Democrat
No Sand In Sandpaper.
"There is no sand in sandpaper,'
aid the manufacturer. "It is powder
ed glass that does the business. That's
where the broken bottles go to." He
nodded toward a mass of broken bot
:!es in the yard. "We powder the glass
Into half a dozen grades," be said
"We coat our paper with an even lay-
r of hot glue. Then without loss of
rime we spread on the glass powder.
Finally we ran a wooden roller lightly
aver the sheets to give them a good
surface. When in the past they made
sandpaper of sand it wouldn't do a
quarter of the work that glass paper
ioes." Cincinnati Enquirer.

A Momlfr Muical Instrument.
The most gigantic oarp ever con
structed, as far as the record goes, was
that made by Veritan, the provost of
Burkli, near Basel, Switzerland, In
1787. That was a long while ago, but
the fame of M. Veri tan's gigantic .harp
was such that it is still occasionally
mentioned by writers on the rare and
the wonderful, just as the sea serpent,
bloody rata, live mastodons, etc., are.
M. Veritan's colossal musical instru
ment was 320 feet in length, and, on
that account, was constructed in an
open lot instead of In a harp factory. It
was most simple In construction, con
sisting of fifteen wires strung tightly
between two poles. These wires were
of different sizes, the largest being one
sixth of an inch in diameter and the
smallest one-twelfth of an inch. They
were stretched north and south and in
clined in such a manner as to form au
angle of from twenty to thirty degrees
with the horizon. This queer instrument
was not intended as an exaggerated
toy, but was constructed for the ex
press purpose of foretelling changes in
the weather, which were calculated by
Professor Veritan according to the dif
ferent tours the Instrument made when
the wind was blowing through It.
As Tom Please.
In the ancient times there lived a
wonderfully wise man, of whom it was
said that he could answer correctly
any question put to him. There was
one, however, who thought himself
clever enough to outwit the sage. This
man took a poor, captive bird and
clasped It so closely In his hand that
only the head and tail were visible.
"Tell me," said he to the renowned
guesser of riddles, "is the bird which
I hold In my hand alive or dead?"
If the answer were "Dead," thought
this artful plotter, he would just open
his hand and let die bird fly. If the
answer were "Alive," he would with
one little squeeze crush the poor bird
to death.
But the wise man proved himself
equal to the occasion and replied, "It Is
as you please."
Bach one holds within his or her
grasp the fair bird of life. Which is it
to be? A blessing or a bane? It 1b "as
you please."
Presses to Death.
An English court has sentenced a
woman to imprisonment because she
refused to speak during a trial. The
old penalty for remaining mute under
similar conditions was being pressed
to death. The form of sentence set
forth "the prisoner shall be laid in
some low, dark house, where he shall
lie naked on the earth and one arm
shall be drawn to one quarter of the
house with a eord and the other arm
to another quarter, and In the same
manner 1st it fc doaevwlth his legs, and
let there be laid upon his, body iron
and stone, as much as- he can bear or
more." There the man had to lie. On
the following day he was given three
morsels of bread without water, on the
following water, but no bread. And
this Was his diet until he died.
The editor of a Kansas paper states
that he once borrowed a Winchester
rifle and started up the street a few
days after to deliver the weapon to its
owner. The delinquent subscribers got
it into their heads that he was on the
warpath, and every one he met Insisted
on paying what he owed him. One
man wiped out a debt of ten years'
standing. On his return to his office he
found a load of hay, fifteen bushels of
corn,- ten bushels of potatoes, a load of
wood and a barrel of turnips that had
been brought in. We would like to
borrow a Winchester for a day or two.
St Louis Pest-Dispatch.
A Dlaaavaataa-e at Health..
A visitor among the poor of the east
end of London found unexpected testi
mony to the disadvantages of health
In one of his calls. Mrs. B. had a fam
ily of a dozen children, and, like most
of her class, she had her tale of woe to
tell. "How are the children, Mrs. B.T
Inquired the caller. "All very well, In
deed, sir; very well, indeed," was the
answer. "Ton ought to be thankful.
I'm sure, with so much sickness
about." "Yes, sir; I suppose I ought
to be thankful; but I tall you, when
they're well they eat an awful lot"
Java's Popalation.
Java is very thickly populated, and
cultivation is pushed to an extraordin
ary distance up the steep slopes of the
hills. The plain of Leles in the month
of July "is one sea of ripe golden rice.
with here and there a village of brown
thatch roofs nestling in a group of
green cocoanut trees." In the middle
of the island white chimneys of sugar
mills peep above miles and miles of
sugarcane fields.
Fire and Water.
Why does water put out fire? Water
reduces the temperature of the name
below the point of ignition; therefore it
cannot bum. Water does not smoth
er the flames even when the burning
brand is completely Immersed in a
tank of water, because the first con
tact puts out the fire that is, reduces
the temperature of the flame below

Cure Your Cold
- with Flax Seed
For many years physicians have been sac-,
cessfully treating Coughs, "Colds," Bronchi
tis and Consumption with an Emulsion of
Flax Seed, called LINON I NE. This is not
a secret remedy, the formula being on every
bottle. It is a palatable emulsion sweet as
cream made of the oil compressed cold
from the finest, selected Flax Seeds and by
a scientific process requiring 120 hours.
If you wish to know what this Flax Seed
Emulsion will do, write to the makers and
they will send you an order on a local drug
gist for a regular-size package (not a mere
sample) and will pay the druggist themselves
for it. This is their free gift, made to let the
remedy .itself show you what it can do.
The First Bottle is Free
CUT OUT THIS COUPON
for it may not appear again and mail to The
Llnonlnc Co., Dan bury, Conn. I have never
tried Linonine, please supply me with the
first bottle free.
