That When Hobson Sneezed His
Good Wife Was Right There
with the Remedy.
!lMr. Hobson sneezed and Mrs. Hobson
[marked that he must have caught
bid. Mr. Hobson is one of those men
Iho hate to have a fuss made over them,
le has been trying to impress that fact
n his wife’s mind for 20 years, relates
the Chicago Daily News.
“What makes you think I’ve taken
cold?” he demanded, irritably.
“You sneezed,” replied Mrs. Hob
son.
“That doesn’t signify—” He paused.
“But it does ‘signify.’ It is one of the
first signs of a cold. You went out with
the ashes this morning without a thing
round your neck.”
“I always do.”
“And now you’ve caught cold.”
Mr. Hobson returned to the reading of
his newspaper without replying. In a
few moments Mrs. Hobson said:
"Henry."
“Well?"
“You’ve got to do something for that
cold.”
“Can’t I sneeze without being accused
of a cold? Is there any law against
sneezing, or do I have to get a permit
from the health department?”
"I don’t see anything foolish In taking
a eold in time,” Mrs. Hobson said, calm
ly. “If you would let me put your feet
In hot water and mustard, and get you to
bed—’”
* Mr. Hobson resumed his paper, and as
he did so he felt an annoying tickling in
his nose. He struggled heroically for
nearly half a minute. Then he sneezed
again.
“There-” said Mrs. Hobson, in melan- '
choly triumph. “You’ve sneezed again!”
“I’ve sneezed twice, and I’m not
ashamed of it,” Hobson replied, coldly.
“If I feel like it, I’m going to sneeze
again. I’m—”
Three successive and violent sternu
♦ ini him
----•
“Now will you let me heat that water,
Henry?”
“No, thank you.”
“Will you take some quinine, then?”
“No.”
Mrs. Hobson sighed.
“Sneezes,” Mr. Hobson explained,
are convulsions caused by an irritation
of a sensitive membrane. The irritation
may be caused by the introduction of any
small particle of foreign matter, such as
a grain of dust. Snuff has been known
to produce a sneeze; so has pepper. You •
can get up a fairly good imitation by '
tickling the nostrils with a straw. It is
not, as you imagine, an infallible indi
cation of a cold.”
"I suppose,” said Mrs. Hobson, reflect
ively, “that you would object to an onion
poultice, too?”
Hobson rose from his chair and started
for the door. With his hand on the
knob he paused to say, with dignity;
“I’m going up to my room now. I’ve got
some work to do, so I guess I had better
be alone for the rest of the evening.”
Hobson sneezed twice on the way up
stairs. Then the door of his den closed
explosively. Fifteen minutes later the
door opened and Hobson’s voice called
down the stairs; “Maria!”
“What is it. dear?”
“Say, if you think I really ought to
take a hot foot bath I suppose it won’t
do any particular harm, whether I’ve
got a cold or not. Would it be troubling
you too much to heat the water?’/
Mrs. Hobson’s voice replied cheer
fully:
“It’s all ready now, dear. I’ve heated
it and got some blankets nice and hot.
When you’re ready I’ll bring them up.”
A WORD WITH THE GIRLS.
* _
Learn to Do the Little Things That
Give Enjoyment to Yourself
and Others.
It is the girl who does things in this
world who is attractive, both to men
and to her own sex, which last count*
a little, too, in the long run. You may
not be able to do great things, to paint
great pictures or to sing in grant
opera, but you can learn to make
bright little things for yourself and
your friends and perhaps the light
"catchy” airs of the day so that your
friends will enjoy them, and if you
can’t do anything else cultivate the
art of talking brightly and of being
sympathetic, says Good Housekeep
ing.
Every girl can do one thing well il
she will only take the trouble to find
out what that thing is. The difficulty
is that she often looks in the opposite
direction; she wants to do something
great and showy or nothing at all. Bui
there are other talents within reach i)
she will only look, and these talent*
may be such a comfort to her in hei
dark hours that they will make life
better and happier both for herself and
those abouf. her.
How the world likes a cheerful
plucky girl who makes a brave fight
and hides her skeleton in a closet in
stead of folding her hands and whin
ing because things don’t come her way
—the girl w;ho puts her own griefs
as much as possible aside and whc
takes a wholesome interest in life—i*
the one who viins out every time.

LIFE ON A TORPEDO BOAT.
The Men Have to Take Their Sleep
a&d Food in “Catch as Catch
Can" Fashion.
A man on a torpedo boat has to catch
his sleep “on the fly,” and he becomes
exceedingly expert, being young and
adaptable, at making up the required
amount of slumber in little mosaics of
an hour now, half an hour then and ten
minutes later on.. He becomes accus
tomed to drop into a doze whenever a
favorable minute arrives and he is not
on duty, and to stay in that condition
until a sudden lurch of the boat shakes
it out of him. Never at sea docs he ex
pect to be able to turn in for a full
night’s sleep, says a writer in the Boston
Globe.
This difficulty of sleeping on a torpedo
boat at sea is one of the principal rea
sons why the fleet of destroyers sent tc
Manila had an itinerary arranged for it
which provided for 90 days spent in port
and only 70 at sea. This 90 days of rest
against 70 of active seagoing is calculat
ed to be about the limit of endurance of
a picked crew on a torpedo boat. A de
stroyer, it must me remembered, is only
a torpedo boat of a larger growth, and
not so much larger as to make any mate
rial difference in the amount of discom
fort and strain put upon the crew, espe
cially where the theater of action is the
open ocean.
A man who has had much service on a
torpedo boat said to the writer:
“It is not only sleep with which you
have to play catch as catch can on board
a torpedo boat, but you have to play tag
with your food as well. If there was
anything like a sea on, we never used to
think of sitting down to table, but took
such food as we could get in one hand
and ate it while we held on with the
other.
“A great part of the time cooking was
next to impossible, and cold canned
stuff, or what was left over of the stuff
which had been cooked in port, had to
suffice us, and we grabbed that as we
could and when we could.
“The cook always, or almost always,
used to make coffee for us, though how
he managed it was a mystery, for,
though he used to lash the coffee pot
to the top of the stove and toe down
the lid, the pitching and the rolling of
the boat in a heavy seaway would spill
a large portion of the contents of the pot
out through the spout.
“Then cookey would put a cork in
the mouth of the spout, and when the
boiling coffee generated steam enough
the lid would blow off. or the cork would
fly out. Altogether, it was only by the
exercise of indefatigable energy and
skill of the sort which ought to have
been recognized in general orders that
finally enough coffee would be manufac
tured to give each man a cup.”
THE SYRIAN BARBER BOWL.
A Novelty in Tonsorial Utensils That
Is Popular with Some New
Yorkers.
“I have quite a number of novelties
from my country,” said the Syrian bar
ber in Washington street, relates the
New York Times, "but I keep them for
my American customers. The Syrians
want the latest Yankee notions. Of
course, once in awhile an old mountain
eer happens in who longs for the ancient
customs, but he is only a bird of pas
sage—a maker of laces or a peddler of
saddlebags—going through the metrop
olis to some other city.
“The Syrian bowl seems to please New
Yorkers most. A number of artists come
to my shop just to have it used on them.
Here it is. Quite ornate, isn’t it They’re
not all alike, but I keep this one because
my customers admire the inlaid work on
it, and while I’m shaving them I enter
toln fhom with tho etnrv nf If nr fo in.
dustries of the villagers who produce this
kind of merchandise. The shape is the
egg-basin. The semicircular brim fits
the neck of the customer, and If he likes
he can use silver wire clasps about the
sars. In Syria the lather is made right
in the bowl with the hand and applied
by the hand to the face of the customer,
but New Yorkers won’t have that, they
like the brush dipped in. The native
brush is unique, made of soft split grass,
but only my people stand for it; the
smooth, tender skin of Yankees can’t
stand its harshness of fiber.
My people like plenty of perfume put in
the bowl, but perfumes and scented
soaps make Anglo-Saxons mad. We use
moistened, scented clay after shaving
as a sort of powder for the face. It is
splendid for the skin and acts as a disin
fectant, but though I import quite a lot
of it from the mountain country, I have
a hard time to get rid of it among my for
eign clients. Lately some ladies have
been buying it to use in their cosmetics.
They are finding out its medicinal quali
ties, and they don’t have the prejudice
against it that the men seem to have.
A society woman happened into my shop
a day or two ago and bought a Syrian
barber bowl and an ear razor for shav
ing the inside of the ear. These razors
are fine things, and all the nobility use
them at home. I showed her how to
handle the blade and told her to be care
ful and always employ the tiny ear-mir
ror with it.
“She thanked me, but replied: “Oh,
dear me, I wouldn’t use that beautiful
thing for any horrid purpose like that.
I want it for an ornament; a sort of book
leaf cutter.’ ”
Tempting Sandwiches.
At an afternoon tea some particular
ly attractive open sandwiches were
served. Rounds of bread were spread
with a mixture of cream cheese and
finely chopped olives. Around the
edge of each larger pieces of olives
formed a sort of wreath and directly in
the center was a piece of olive. Brown
bread sandwiches made of cream
cheese and chopped olives are particu
larly delicious. Chopped green pepper*
may also be mixed with them.—Detroit
