Visiting With Johnny.
"I think the mother of a six-year-old
boy should have a pension to make up
to her for the mental agony she suf
fers," said Just such a mother. "1 took
Johnny to his paternal grandfather's
last week and believe he has cut us
out of grandfather's will. Of course
wo send him to Sunday school, and we
both attend church, but we do not ask
a blessing at the table, nor do we have
family prayers. Grandfather does, and
it happened that the morning after wo
arrived Johnny was excused from the
table ami went out In the yard to play.
Grandfather led the way into the sit
ting room, and we all knelt down in
prayer. Imagine my horror to seo
Johnny's little face peering curiously
through the blinds and hear him sing
out: 'Hoy, In there! What kind of a
game is that you're playing? Ain't you
the rotten bunch not to let mo In on
it?' I arose and softly whispered to
him to run on and play, and he sang
out: "You're It, mamma; you're it!
Make a home ruu.' Now. what can
you do with a small boy, auyway? I
can never explain matters to his grand
father."? New York Times.
The Physician.
Dr. Cathelln of Paris declares that
no person who does not possess cer
tain "six moral senses" should attempt
to enter the medical profession? viz,
the sense of duty, the sense of respon
sibility. the sense of kindness, the
sense of manual skill (which he sub
divides into the sense of boldness and
the sense of prudence), the sense of
beauty and the social role. "The sense
of duty toward the patient," so he is
quoted by the Boston Globe, "Is the
very first requisite In a physician. It
can only arise from a positive and in
nate altruism or love of one's fellow
creatures? a quality similar to that
which moves the hospital nurse to tho
care of the stricken. There can be no
personal sensitiveness nor lack of in
terest in details, as against an absorb
ing curiosity that complicated cases
arouse, and yet, with all this sense of
duty, which calls for extreme good
ness and sensitiveness of heart, he
must not show a trace of emotion
when his duty calls him to operate on
a McKlnley. a Carnot or a Frederick
II."
A Truthful Description.
In an Illustrated description of tbo
game of tennis Simplldsslinus says:
"Like all good things, lawn tennis Is
of English origin. Marie Stuart wlillo
a prisoner was compelled to beat car
pets which were hung over a rail.
Not contented with this humiliation,
her sister. Queen Elizabeth, onco
threw a dead mouse at the unfortu
nate Marie while the latter was beat
ing carpets. The little defunct rodent
was caught on Marie's flail and sent
back over the roll and was returned
to her by means of a flail In the hands
of Elizabeth, and thus the gamo of
tennis originated." Further on In tbo
same description It is said, "Two sets
are formed, and while these flirt at
the edge of the court others stand
near the net and make efforts to speak
English."
Travel In 1760.
In these days of rapid transit a para
graph from a Yorkshire paper of 17G0
is Interesting. It Is an accouut of a
London merchant's Journey from Lon
don to Dublin and back. Leaving Lon
don on Mouday evening, the traveler
reached Liverpool on Wednesday
morning, lu time to catch the packet
for Dublin, which city he reached on
Thursday. During that day he trans
acted his busluess In the capital, and
next morning sailed for Liverpool, ar
riving there on Saturday. Monday saw
him back In London, and bis Journey
was complete, having taken only eight
days! "And." concludes the writer,
"there is every reason to believe that
It will be possible to beat even this
performance in the near future."? Lon
don Family Journal.
A Kitchen Martyr.
Even the kitchen can boast Its
martyrs. Chief among these was Va
tel, the chief cook of Conde, who ran
himself through the heart with a
sword because the flsh had not ar
rived In time for a banquet which his
master was giving Louis XIV. Vatel's
panegyric Is to be found In the con
cluding volume of the "Almanach des
Gourmands:" "So noble a death In
sures you. venerable shade, the most
givrlous Immortality! You have proved
that the fanaticism of honor can exist
lu the kitchen as well as In the camp,
and that the spit and the saucepan
have also their Catos and their
Dccluses."
Thought Astor Was Crazy.
Teople said Johu Jacob Astor was
crazy because he paid $1,000 au aero
when he bought the estate of Aaron
Burr about a hundred years ago. It
was a farm of 120 acres, located about
where Twenty-Urst street Is now in
Mauhattan. In ten years he com
menced to sell lots at $5,000 an acre;
but, fortunately, he did not sell much
at that price. What it is worth today
is hard to compute in millions.? Cent

The Evil of It.
Dumbleton? Fritter's chief fault Is
that his temper occasionally gets the
best of him. Flasher? Very true, and
that wouldn't be so bad if it didn't

BELIEVE IN THE FATES.
Greek Peasants and the Rule of the
Moral Over Children.
The peasantry of Greece firmly be
Here that tbe future of ever}' child Is
determined by tbe three fates, known
by the name of tbe Moral. In tbe
popular mind this trio of fates are
supposed to be three old and wrinkled
women whose habitation Is a moun
tain care. They come simultaneously
to a house where a new baby has
made Its appearance, says tbe London
Globe.
When they are expected all furni
ture Is set aside so that their aged
nnd tottering feet may not be hin
dered, and refreshments In tbe shape
of honey cakes, bread and wine are
placed ready for theso Important
though Invisible guests. Money, too,
Is placed for them as a bribe to get
their faror for the baby, so that bis
future may be one long, sweet song,
the superstition being- that all things
good and bad are In the glrlng of tbe
fates.
On no account must the child's
beauty be alluded to when the Moral
are present, as this will certainly make
its good looks disappear. Marks on a
baby's skin are looked upon as sent by
these harbingers of weal or woo.
Ill luck Is supposed to be the lot of
the children who cut tbclr upper tc<jth
first. Thero are one or two African
tribes who so firmly bellere this that
they are said to kill all babies but
those whose lower teeth appear first
Another race of people In the dark
continent see all the signs of bad for
tune In twins, and so tbey arold It by
slaying all of them.
THE SEA LION.
This Queer Beait la the Owner of Four
Huge Liver*.
The bead of the sea lion at close
quarters In a blunt, rough, savage
prow. It Is well armed for battle, the
mouth being au eight Inch half circle
studded with two rows of great sharp
teeth. The body Is heavily coated with
seal brown hair, sun bleached to light
yellow on the back and sides. The
Immensely long hind flippers have big
strong claws Imbedded In the flat up
per surface several Inches from tho
ends of the flipper. The fore flippers
have the oiwnings for these nails or
claws, but In the particular female I
dissected they were lacking.
The transparent wiry feelers about
the Jaw are much esteemed by the
Chluese as toothpicks. About two doz
en of these sensitive guards project
from tho upper Up. The ears are very
small, not as large as a common cat's,
and much depressed. The eyes are a
deep, soft brown, but they can sparklo
like flame lu auger. When the dissect
ing knife laid the skin back we en
countered a heavy layer of fat? rich,
oily and flsh smelling. The heart was
very large, fully as big as a cow's, and
the beast also owned four huge livers
a foot and a half long. Tho meat la
very red and, although eaten by the
coast tribes, Is too coarse and redolent
of flsh oil for any save a starving
white. In fact, tho whole beast has a
most repulsive odor when In the sun.

Tho Kettledrum In Musio.
In a lecturo delivered at the Royal
Society of Arts by Gabriel Cleather
on the "Musical Aspect of Drums" it
was contended that the kettledrum
was one of the fow perfect Instru
ments in the orchestra, owing to the
exactness of its scale. The kettledrnm,
he contended, was perfectly compe
tent to produco atmosphere as well as
rhythm. Even to tune the instrument
three things were required? a perfect
musical ear, a flno sense of touch and
tlve years' experience. After playing
over a kettledrum melody, written
eighty years ago, from Meyerbeer's
"Robert le DIable," Mr. Cleather con
tinued, "I venture to say that, outside
the musical profession, not one person
in a hundred of those who listen to an
orchestra In England today knows that
tympanl have notes and can give out
a melody." No Instrument, he added,
lmd a greater range of power than tho
kettledrum, for none could be played
more softly, and none had greater pen
etrating power.? Dundee Advertiser.

"I was telling Baby Hilda a fairy
story one night," said the sky pilot
"Baby Hilda Is my little girl. The
story was all about another little girl
who was chased by bears and who ran
to the edge of a steep mountain and
Jumped off. No, she didn't die. The
minute she Jumped off she turned Into
a bird with wings and flew. That was
the story.
"Baby Hilda thought awhile about
It, then she looked up and said, 'Papa,
Is that story true or was it Just preach
ing?' "?New York Press.

Whole Body Raw with Eczema ?
Life was Intolerable? Was Even
Incased in Plaster? Discharged
from Hospitals as Hopeless,
SUFFERED 14 YEARS
CURED BY CUTICURA
" From the ago of three months until
fifteen years old, my son Owen's life
was mado intoler
able by eczema in
its worst form. Ho
was alt right until
a red rash broke
out on his fore
head, but wo were
not alarmed at first.
Very soon, however,
the rash began to
spread over his head
and shoulders, and
it caused him great
discomfort) I took
him to a doctor and tried half a dozen
other treatments, all with the samo
roiult: no improvement at all. Tho
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part of his body was quite raw.
We had to strap him down in bed, for
he used to tear himself dreadfully in
his sleep. The agony he went through
is quite beyond words. No one thouglit
we would rear him. Tho regimental
doctor, a very clever man. pronounced
the case hopeless; at least, ne said tho
only hope was that he mipht, if ho
livod long enough, outgrow it to somo
extent. Wo had him fn hospitals four
times and he was pronounced one of
the worst cases, if not the ?worst, ever
admitted. From each ho was dis
charged as Incurablo; in fact he got
worao under the sucocssive treatments.
At one hospital they incascd him in
plaster, and this seemed to aggravate
the soreness terribly. He looked so
bndl" that no one liked to go near him
and "his life was a burden to him. Wo
kept trying remedy after remedy, but
wo had got almost past hoping for a
cure. Six months ago we purchased
a set of Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and
Resolvent Pills and persevered with
them. The result was truly marvelous
and to-day he is perfectly cured, his skin
not having a blemish on It anywhere.
