GOOD ANTIDOTE FOR EPIDEMIC.
Public Amusement! Take Men's Mind
From Perils.
“In this yellow fever scare.” said a
New Orleans man, “our people could
n’t do better than to take a pattern
from the Emperor of China.”
“The Emperor of China?”
“Yes. For that man, when an
epidemic appears in any providence of
his kingdom, makes all the theatres
of the province free, and requires the
Inhabitants under pain of death, to
go to some place of amusement at
least once a day.
“Furthermore, he gives free exhibit
ions of fireworks every evening, and at
these exhibitions attendance is com
pulsory.
“What is the result? From early
morning till late at night the people,
streaming in and out of the free
shows, or blinking and grasping under
the fireworks’ splendor, have minds
occupied and tranquil don’t worry over
the epidemic that is scourging them —
and hence keep almost inmune.
“Oor people, in the face of a great
contagion, ought to be made to keep
continuously amused, like the Chinese.
Then through weakness brought on
by worry they wouldn’t lay them
selves open to the disease, and
through fear they wouldn’t fall to
fighting and rioting over questions of
quarantine.”
PROVED TRUTH OF OLD ADAGE.
Thirteen at Table Certainly Proved
Unlucky for Some.
“Ever sat down thirteen to table?”
inquired the man with the salmon-pink
tie.
“Once,” said the man with the
white mustache.
"Well, you never observed any had
luck follow it, did you?’’
“I’ll bet he did,” growled the man
who believes in these things.
“Well,” said the white mustache, “it
was a trifle unlucky for most of ’em.”
“Any of ’em die?” asked the man
who believed.
“Not enough grub to go round?”
sneered the salmon-pink tie.
“There were no victuals,” said the
white mustache softly. “It took place
In a lawyer’s office; it was a meeting
of creditors; there were twelve be
sides myself sat down to table.”
There was a long pause, and then
the salmon-pink tie spoke again.
“In what vay did the meeting prove
unlucky, may I ask?”
“Poor creatures,” sighed the white
mustache, "they never got a penny out
of me. I was the bankrupt.”—London
Answers.
Breaking It Gently.
In a certain Danish province noted
Tor its superior breed of cattle, the
country people are not only very thrif
ty, but exceedingly fond of their cows,
as may be gathered from the following
characteristic story which has recent
ly been told:
Farmer Jan was walking sadly
down the road one day, when the
village pastor met him.
“Why so sad, Farmer Jan?” said
the pastor.
“Ah! I have a very sad errand, pas
tor,” replied Jan.
“What is it?"
“Farmer Her.rik’s cow is dead in
my pasture, and I am on my way to
tell him.”
“A hard task, Jan.”
“Indeed it is pastor, but I shall
break it to him gently.”
“How will you do that?”
“I shall tell him first that it is his
mother that is dead, and then, having
opened the way for the telling of sad
der news, I shall say to him that it is
not his mother, but the cow!"
Doubtful About His Customers.
Many years ago “Parson” Field
preached in Weston, Mass., and one
day when he stood in his doorway
waiting for the village baker’s wagon,
of which one John Macomber was tlu
driver, he noticed that the horse had
wandered Into the graveyard, when’
lie was quietly eating, while his drive;
gossiped with a neighbor.
When John finally came along the
parson said, "Well, John. I see you
have a new route; do you find them
good customers?”
"Wall,” said John, “I can’t tell yet;
yer see, there ain’t none of um up
yet.”

HOW SHE WOULD EAVE JULIET.
•impls teui taw Salvation for Hero
ine of Tragedy.
Mra Drlnkwater, wife of the genial
colonel, apent some weeka laat sum
mer In northern Maine, at the comfort
able farmhouse of an honest widow,
Mrs. Brand, who adds to her lneomo
by keeping summer boarders, ssys a
writer in the Boaton Herald.
Recently Mrs. Brand made her first
visit to Boston, and while there met
Mrs. Drlnkwater, who took her to see
Jolla Marlowe In “Romeo and Juliet.”
Mrs. Brand had never before been to
a theater. “Camp meetin’ ” had been
her wildest dissipation.
Mrs. Drinkwater’s Interest was
equally divided between her compan
ion and the stage. When they left
the theater Mrs. Brand was silent.
Her usual volubility had quite desert
ed her. Mrs. Drlnkwater respected
her silence, and said nothing until
they were well on their homeward
way. At last she ventured to ask:
‘How did you like It. Mrs. Brand?”
Mra. Brand turned toward her, and
the tears started to her eyes as she
said: “Oh, Mrs. Drlnkwater, I couldn’t
help thlnkln’ how different that play
might have ended If the nuts had been
a different kind of a woman, and
pointed Juliet to Jesus.”
SCRATCHED WILL ON THE ICE.
Quser “Document” Put on Record In
Connecticut.
"On a Connecticut pond,” said a
lawyer, "a clergyman was skating one
day alone. Suddenly the ice broke,
and he plunged Into the cold, deep
water. He could not swim, but ht
managed to keep up by holding to the
edges of the Ice about the hole he had
made. If he tried to climb up on ths
Ice, though, It broke under him. 60.
without moving, he shouted for help.
“No help came. The place was lone
ly. The parson realized before long
that he was In a bad way, and with
his knife he scratched on the Ice his
last words—a brief farewell, and a
bequest to his wife of all he possessed.
Land of Original Blackmail.
England, according to Justice Phllll
more, enjoys in some foreign coun
tries the reputation of being the home
of the blackmailer. Certainly Great
Britain was at least the land of the
original “blackmail,” the “mall,” rent
or tribute paid on the Anglo-Scottlnh
and Highland borders by farmers to
frsehooters in return for immunity
from their visitations. In Ireland a
similar Institution was known as
“black rent.” The old word “mall,"
meaning rent, and coming either from
the Anglo-Saxon “mael,” a portion,
or the old Frenoh “mallle,” a half
penny, is qulta a different word from
the postal “mail,” whleh Is simply
"male,” a bag. To Coke and Black
stone “blaekmail” had an Innocent
significance, meaning rent paid in la
bor or produee, as epposed to “white
rent” paid In “white money,” silver.—

Irishman’s Joke.
Over in Clay county, Mo., there was
a funny Irishman, says the Welling
ton News. It was years ago when
Philander Lucas was Judge of the cir
cuit court. The Irishman had a suit
before Lucas, and when It was tried,
his attorney asked that it bs passed
as his client wanted to employ addi
tional counsel. When the Judge was
going to dinner, the Irishman accost
ed him. “Your honor,” he began,
Oi’m thlnkln’ lv imployln’ another
lawyer f’r me case. An’ Oi think Ol
wud rather pay yee* t’ rlpraysint me
than anny wan else. Because, judge,
01 think yeez have a very good knowl
edge iv th’ law an’ thin, bein’ on th’
bench, yecs wud have a very good
notion iv how th’ thing Is goin’.**
Treat That Rover Missed.
Tales of ths siege of Paris during
the Franco-Prussian war have been
many. One of these yarss was as fol
lows: A much-loved oollle dog had
been preserved by Its owners from
the death that befell all pets during
that time of starvation. There same
at last a day, however, when it, too.
had to go, and the sorrowing but fam
ished family met thejr pet for the laat
time in the soup tureen. They ate in
silence until nothing remained but a
heap of bones. Then the master of
the house, an absent-minded person,
looked round in search of something,
and said with a sigh: “How poor old
Rover would have enjoyed thoee
bones!”
Tea Names.
In the Canton dialect “Pekoe” means
“white hair,” and for this kind of tea
the very youngest leaves of all are
gathered, so young that the white
down of babyhood is still upon them
—whence their name. “Congou”
means “labor”; considerable trouble
and labor being taken in Its prepara
tion at Amboy, these are perpetuated
In its name. “Bohea” is called after
a range of hills in Fo-Klen. "Soo
ehong” expresses no sentiment, but a
bald fact, being Cantonese for “the
•mall kind.” “Hyson” signifies "flour
Uhlng spring.”
