Woodwoi th, Asst, Cashier Assist, t.asnier A Story of La Fontaine. . La Fontaine used to denounce tSie stage "asldaf as utterly Inartistic and Inadmissible. In "Jean de la Fon taine" Frank Hamel tells of an out burst before ' Moliere, ' Racine and Bolleaa. "Nothing," said La Fontaine, "is more contrary to good sense. What! The pit is supposed to understand that which an actor is not expected to hear, although he is close behind the one who is speaking? Absurd!" v As be grew very warm, while thus xpressing his feelings, and as It was Impossible to make him hear a word Boileau tried to arrest his attention by repeating trver and oyer again In loud tones. "La Fontaine mast be a pretty rascal, a great rogue." But La Fon taine took no notice of all tbla abuse. At last they all burst out laughing, and this Interrupted, his train of thought . "What are you langhlng at?" he said. Boileau replied gravely: "Fancy! I was abusing yeaj. at the top of my voice and you never heard me, although I sen near enough to touch you, and you are astonished that an actor does not hear an aside that another actor utters- on the boards." ' - - - r Tha Two Coats Were Thar. Sometimes the more you get a negro cornered the less cornered you have him. This fact, -long known" to many, was discovered. -the other day by a leather man In the "swamp." This man suddenly awoke to the fact that certain back walls were dingy with dirt and decided they'd look much better If whitewashed. So be summoned his old negro facto tum and told him to get busy with bis whitewash brush, .giving special direc tions to put two coats on. When the job apparently had been finished the leather merchant inspect ed It and found the whitewash suspi ciously thin looking. Summoiilng Sambo, he said as stern ly as he could, "You didn't go oyer those walls twice as I told you to." "No, sir," was the quick reply. "I ain't gone ove twice,, but I done put two coats In de pail, sir tiro coats In de pall." New York Mail. . Insomnia and Tobaeoo. The -dominant characteristic of to bacco is the fact that it heightens blood pressure. The irritant action by which It does this sometimes leads to still more harmful results. Its second ac tion is narcotic. It lessens the connec tion between nerve centers and the out side world. These two action account for all the good and all the bad effects of tobaccd. As a narcotic It tempora rily' abolishes anxiety and discomfort by making the smoker care less about what is happening to him.; But it is a well known law of medicine that all the drugs which in the beginning less en nerve action Increase It in the end. Thus smoking finally causes apprehen sion, hyperexcitabiiity and muscular unrest. Here this inevitable law seems to give contradictory results. Every physician knows that an enormous amount of insomnia is relieved by smoking, even If It is at the expense of laelness the next day., At the same time every physician knows that most excessive smokers are troubled .with insomnia. Century. Meanness of Mas. A typical southern "mammy" entered the office of a well - known attorney and, after mopping her shining brow with a bandanna handkerchief, said to the man at the' desk. "Ah wants t' git a divo'ce fom mah hseban', Mose Ligbtfoot." "On what grounds?" asked the attor ney. "He's jes natoheUy wufless," was the reply. ' "Wbat Is your husband's occupa tion?" "He jes sets roun' de house all day and p'tenfis to mind de baby." "Does he take good care of the child?" " 'Deed he do not! He's too lazy. Die mawnin' he tried to make de dawg rock de cradle by tyln' its tail to one ob de rockers." "Did the scheme work?' "Land sakes, no! Mose am so evah lastin' grouchy dat( he couldn't speak enough kind words to make de dawg wag its tail!" Judge. Yellow Writing Paper Easy an Eyes. Oculists have often called attention to the fact that the eyes are easily fa tigued by the reflection from white pa per, especially when the surface is un der a strong light. Since green is known to be the color most restful to the eyes, it Is a common practice to use -wall papers, and draperies of that color in libraries and private studies. For writing paper, however, green Is an unsatisfactory color. It imparts a reddish appearance to the writing and makes it hard to read. Yellow writing paper is not open to the same objec tion. In strong daylight It is softer than pure white paper, and in artificial light is not too"fiark. Black letters on a yellowish background show clear and distinct Many mathematicians use yellow paper in figuring long and difficult calculations, and many writers have adopted it for manuscripts.- Youth's Companion.

' Feb. 3 Official an nouncement Is made toy Dean Jones of the Academic department at Yale, that in future no one but undergrad uates ' will be altoTveii upon ' the cam pus during Tap Day exercises. This means that women, who have hereto fore formed a large and .gay portion of the spectators, will not be allowed in the dormitories, nor in plates of vantage in the dormitory windows, from which they can gaze down into the arena where no many juniors are made or marred socially, according to the weight they have placed upon elec tion to Skull and. Bones, Scroll and Key or Wolf's Head. There i9 probability that following: this order, all graduates, too, may have a difficult time in getting in to see the most famous events of under graduate activity. - The decision to bar the public was arrived at, it is understood, .after con ference with officials of the University and representatives of the societies concerned in Tap Day exercises. The reason given for the action was a dis position to remove from, the occasion many of the spectacular features at tendant npon the exercises. "When Burton Holmes recently gave his cele-bratel travelogue On "Pan ama" at Orchestra. Hall, Chicago, he was seriously interrupted by continual toughing of the audience. No one annoys willingly and if people with coughs, colds, hoarseness and tickling in throat would use Foley's Honey & Tar Compound, they could quickly cure' their couighs and colds and avoid this annoyance.

Adv. 1 3 5- MAXIM WORKING ON - GENERAL SILENCER Predicts Its Invention ' Within Five 5 Years. t "The one great silencer I hope for, and one that the world" will see in vented and established within five years,: is- the. general silencer for gen eral noises, a device for sick rooms, hospitals, hotels, offices, factories, flnH n T-mnnrftri other rlaces. which will shed silence in the same way that a lamp eheds light. Horace Wells, with his anaesthetic, first pro duced painlessness in Hartford. Let us hope that Hartfora -within a rew years will also' produce noisfrlessnees." Hiram Percy Maxim, the inventor of the silencer for firearms, concluded an address -on "The Silencing of Noise" In Hartford, Friday night at the University Club with these state ments and predictions. He told a re porter that the ,. prophecy was not an idle one, but. that he was actually at work on the problem and hoped to find a solution shortly. The device will probably be -based on the princi ple of the reflection of sound by par abolic mirrors and will consist of an instrument which can be - placed- be tween the source of the noise and the person affected by it. With such a device as this it will be possible for an invalid to sleep next door to a roiler factory or "for a, business man to -work in silence, although he is sur rounded by an army .of noisy type writers. Among the other inventions that Mr. Maxim said he expected to perfect in the near future are silencers for locomotive exhausts, stationary en gines and air hoists. The public ser vice commission of one of the largest cities in the country told the inven tor recentlyN.that, if he could perfect a practical device for the silencing of locomotive exhausts and do away with the "chugging"' and puffing of trains- within city limits, the commis sion would see to-it that an ordinance i was passed requiring all locomotives running within the city limits to be equipped with the device. HIS OWN ILLINESS MADE M'CANN FOOD SPECIALIST A severe illness which resisted ail treatment for 18 months during his 17th and 18th years, resulted in Alfred W. McCaiui taking a keen- Interest in the subject of food, and was the be ginning of his investigations which have resulted in his aggressive cam paign for drastic pure food regulations. His recovery was 'brought about toy dietetile treatment and, following re covery, he was dally associated for about two year with Prof. James R. Campbell, instructor in chemistry at Pittsburgh college. It was in this as sociation and study of chemistry that he learned what elements and combi nations are helpful to health and which ones are injurious. A. profound veneration resulted for the mysteries of organic life and he came to view food as the embodiment - of all the forces, which, when properly -corelat-ed.and released, are responsible for the continuance at life. - A study was made of the various phases of chemistry and he learned of the forces which bring ill results. Later' on, in life this information be came valuable in looking' up the com position of numerous mercantile food combinations. t He has been associated with Dr. H. W. Wiley. But he believes that the real food reform should toe started in the schools through a campaign of education showing the children how foods are handled, the various pro cesses and other means used to oolor. bleach and prevent decomposition. He is positive that advertising will not brine about the required results and that it will take too long to educate legislators to pass the proper regula tions. Mr. McCann is going to tell about his findings and about other as inter esting details concerning food at the fourth annual Chautauqua Assembly to e given by Bridgeport Pastors' As sociation February. 17-21. He will ap pear in lectures Jn the South Congre- gational and J?'iret jnetnoaisx cnurches. This will be only one of the nationally prominent lecturers secured for the oc casion. - ; BRACELETS!
