The custom of serving tea in the of- fices of the heads of prominent bank- ing houses at the close of banking hours 'gas spread rapidy in the Wall street dis- trict. The custom is of English origin end was first introduced by the New York houses of London banking firms, Subsequently it was taken up by some of the younger bankers who had spent slush time in London and now tea and wafers are regularly served every after- aoon in the private offices of many a ;ergo institution. An interesting feature of the spread of the custom is its adop- tion by the head of a prominent depart- ment of one of the largest banks. This banker is an Irishman and his assist- ants are Germans, yet all gather at a fixed hour every afternoon and sip their tea as contentedly as if such beverages ss Irish whiskey and Pilsener had never been invented. o+- Hinerd's Liniment Cures Distemper. Electricity's Fire Hazard. The fire hazard of electricity as com- puted from the fire losses in spew York aity from 1902 to 1905 is very slight as compared with the other causes of fires. The total number of fires traceable to defective wiring or other electrical causes was in that time only 361, which is 1.34 per cent. of the total number of fires. The total loss from these 361 fires was $207,610, which is 1.15 per cent. of the total loss from fires due to all causes. Much of the credit is due to ex- pert inspection and to a rigid insistence upon good work in 'wiring.

A man and woman are married or are not married, according to whether they live as hus- band and wife or not. A nian may have several wives, though in practice he rare- ly has more than one. A woman may have only one husband Divorce is a matter for the village old- ors. No court is necessary, no decree, no appeal to legal or ecclesiastical auth- ority'. Divorce is but the breaking of & status. A wife retains control of all her property acquired during marriage. If she is divorced she takes her own pro- perty and half that jointly acquired. There is no blending of her authority with that of her usband: She may do what she will with her own. There is no rule of primogeniture and no power of bequeat`ling property by testament. A11 the children inherit equally. No Buddhist may make a will. Whatever a man or weapon dies possess- ed of must be divided according to the pules of consanguinity. There is no pre - foreman of either sex. All children are &gag is this matter. The eldest eon 'shares alike with the youngest dau;h- ter. I:anore Tribune. ONE MUSTARD POULTICE. Though on Wrong Man It Was Conducive to Heat. Lord Carrington used to be a great practical joker,. but he was once the vie - of his own reputation. According to the Dtinctee Advertiser, he was at a hotel ,in Cape Town. in the same hotel were a young eoupie, and the husband having a bad cold, his wife left her room to ob- tain for - him the solace of a- mustard poultice. She left him asleep, and, think- ing she knew the way, descended the stairs and, procuring a particularly viru- lcut concoction, made her way back to her room. The door, are much alike in hotels, and seeing pile ajar, as she had left her own, she entered. Creeping qui- etly to the bedside, she saw, as she thought, the form of her sleeping lord and master. Hastily bending over him, she placed the fatal irritant upon his chest. No sooner had she done so than the movement of the sleeper revealed, to her horror, that she had made a terrible mis- take. Too frightened to recapture the in- criminating poultice, she fled from the room, and, rushing down the passage, discovered her own door and bolted her- self in. It was but a minute, and the storm broke. The hotel was in an up- roar. The mustard poultice shad been placed on the chest of the elderly gorer- nor-generals The etiplosion of his wrath, his howls of rage as the mustard did its woz'k, brought servants and manager to his bedside. The situation did not. per- mit of an explanation. Furious with in- dignation, he declared himself the victim of a gross joke, and the efforts •of the maitre d'hotel to pacify him were in vain. He swore that the practical joker was nobody else than Lord Carrington, and the nest day, fuming rind indignant, left the place. So 'did a very contrite young wife and a husband, whose cold was no better. .e• . tt, HAVE YOU PILES?

The Philadelphia comic valentine ease has reached another interesting stage. It began with the sending of the •offend- ing missive last February, and was then enlivened by the recipient's lawyer de- manding that the sender be broneht into court to answer to the charge of crim- inal libel. Both the complainant and de- fendant are women and related by mar- riage, and the proceedings show an added bitterness on this account. Several months after the charge was made the grand jury returned a bill of indictment and then the lawyer for the defendant filed a demurrer to have this indictment quashed. But the judge refused to sus- tain it. He declared that valentines of the character of the one under disous- sion, in which the recipient was alluded to as a scandalmonger, a busybody, a nl.i.schiefmaker and a person of unre- strained mendacity, afford ample grounds for suits of the character insti- tuted, and that when such a libellous valentine leaves the sender's possession it is clearly in circulation according to the letter of the law. It is possible that .this Philadelphia ease will prove a warning and a deter- rent far those persons who under the eloak of anonymity use the so-called comic valentine as a means of venting their malice. If so, it will not be prose- euted in vain. T SCOTT'S EMULSION serves es a bridge to carry the weakened and starved system along until It can find firm support In ordinary food. Send for free sample.

In bis report read before the International l!edical Congress at Lisbon he states that he has been suc- cessful in attacking cutaneous leprosy, not macular or anaesthetic leprosy, and gives his experience, gained from treat- ing sixty lepers during a p.riod •of twenty-two years. Hie sufferers were private patients, more or less well-to-do, all leading a useful life and wishing most emphatically to be cured so that they could again take up their several occu- pations. This feet is important, Unna thinks, in contract to what is observed in the patients' of leper hospitals, for ex- ample, in Norway, who are very poor people, coming from the worst kind of surroundings, shunned by their neigh- bors, and finding in the hospital an asy- lum with all possible comforts—cleanli- ness, sympathy, and freedom from the cares of poverty and the daily fight arninst hardships. Externally, Unna advises hot baths of nature. waters containing sulphur and sodium or potassium, but especially his so-called ink bath (Dintenbad), contain- ing ferrous sulphate and tannic acid; the washing with carbolic acid or green soap; massage and pressure upon the ekiri; the use of pyrogallol and resorcin, chrysarobin and icltthyol, and later the use of Paquelin's cautery. Internally, the author uses 'ichthyol, camphor, sali- cylic acid and chaulmugra oil, which he calls the specific par excellence, for cut- aneous leprosy.—New York 1VMedioal Journal, `• *ward's I tnlr,i Curea sob d5'r etc. 'Bills Off Mosquitoes. One good thing seems to have come out of the marine hospital service experience. It is the discovery and announcement that the burning of a distillation of pine wood. called pyrofume will effectively free houses and single rooms of mos- quitoes. It is more deadly than sulphur and it not injurious to paints, metals or clothes. The fumes of this pine tar kill mosquitoes instantly, but do not harm human beings. But while this may be an excellent discovery and handy to use about the house, it in no way approaches in the value the drainage system of mosquito destruction. While pyrofume kills the few mosquitoes in a house, the system which destroys their breeding places aims to kill the great bulk of the whole noxious, stinging, pestiferous brood, and in some places has already accomplished this desired result.—New- ark News.

Let us trust that the Government's interference with the chitin prayer let- ter business will put an end to one form of impertinent demand upon the cour- tesy of men and women. This particular letter was especially offensive because it involved a kind of threatening of the persons receiving the letter if they "broke the ehain' Th object of the let- ter was not in. itself dishonorable on. its face; it was to circulate a prayer al- leged to have been composed by Bishop Lawrence.

"Just thick of it1" said a prominent young society man, of Shadyside, the other night, as I met him and his wife in Fifth avenue, "here we are going out in the street in evening dress and think nothing of it in New York. Everybody does it here and it goes. Why, in Pittsburg I would not think of going two blocks in evening dress with- out taking a carriage." And he was right for the day has . passed in New York when a hotel guest orders a carriage to convey him to a nearby cafe or theatre simply because he wears a tuxedo or his female companion is in evening dress. - Pittsburg Dispati 11. HANDLING VICIOUS HORSES. Rarey's Little Trick for Curing Balking —Causes of Shying. A balky horse can ,be cured, when un- der the saddle, by a very simple method. Turn him around and around lax his tracks a few times and then suddenly straighten his head and he will rvi111tngiy, and even gladly, go forward. This was the method of the celebrated John `i, Rarey, and has never 'been known to fall. he "jibbler" differs from the balker inasmuch as his so-called vice is caused by congestion of the brain. The horse thus affected is liable to bolt or run away after one of these attacks and is a dangerous animal. Bearing,. although commonly termed a vice, is often caused by too severe a curb, Sometimes the rearing horse loses his balance and falls over baol ward. It is needless to say that the rider is then 1uel.,y if he or she escapes without ser- ious, if not fatal, injury. When the horse rears loosen the reins and speak to him in a soothing tone; but if he persists give him a sharp blow between the ears with'the butt of the whip. This will bring him down on. all fours with amazing quickness. Itricking is certainly a vice. 'Some- times, however, it is caused by fear, in which. ease much can be accomplished by gentle management. Exactly the oppo- site treatment of the rearing animal should be applied to the kicker. Hold his head with might and main, for the horse cannot throw out both hind legs at once when his head is elevated. Kick- ing straps are what the name implies. A strap fastened to the shafts over the horse's croup prevents kicking, but this is only serviceable when driven in single harness. Shying is a dangerous fanlit. It cannot properly be termed a vice, as Carterhall, Nfld.

M1NARD'S LINIMENT is also a good article to keep off the mosquitoes. Yours truly, W. A. V. R. it is generally the result of defective vis- ion. Gentle treatment, soothing words and patient persistence in accustoming the animal to the dreaded abject will often effect a cure.

Sir Douglas Fos, who has been com- missioned to prepare the new plans for the long -talked -of channel tunnel, is re- garded by the members of his profession as one of the greatest engineers of his time. It is owing to his marvelous crea- tive and constructive genius that the Capp to Cairo railway has developed in- to an actuality instead of an impossible dream of the empire builders, the late Cecil Rhodes and Alfred Beit, who has just left the scheme &1,200,000. The great bridge across the Victoria falls on the Zambesi river will always remain a monument to his great abilities. The Mersey tunnel, opened in 1885, which nects Liverpool with Birkenhead and the Cheshire side of the River Mersey, is another of his engineering achieve- ments, as is also the Liverpool Over- head railway and the Dawarden railway bridge across the River Dee. Fairly tall, with clear cut determined features and businesslike grey side whiskers, Sir Dou- glas was 60 years old in May. o.♦ The Blenheim Pup. Winston Churchill, who triumphantly carried through the parliament just ad- journed the bill for a constitution for the Transvaal, has been given the sob- riquet of the "Blenheim pup" and for several reasons. One is the fact that he is a Churchill, a descendent of the great Duke of Marlborough who humbled the pride of the French in which he fights his political battles. His face is said also to have a bulldog look. He won his vic- tory for South African autonomy as un- der secretary for the colonies, a posi- tion that does not give him a seat in the cabinet. $10—Atlantic City, Cape May—$10 Four seashore excursions via Lehigh f Valley Railroad, July 20, August 3, 17, and 31.

Does it do a. business nasi any good to swell the muscles of his back by wrestling with a rowing ma- chine or to make his legs as hard as railroad ties by galloping about a canvas track? Is there any advantage, after all, in developing the sinews abnormally? Does a man who works with his brain gain anything by trying to imitate a hodcarrier? The notion that the average business man will be benefited by de- veloping the muscles of a stevedore is based on nothing more tangible than wild theorizing. In favor of it is the allega- tion that physical or brute strength spells health. Against it the obvious and undoubted fact that millions of men who take no more euercise than their ordinary avocations require live to hale and hearty old age and the further fact that the average athlete, for all, his sinew and vigor„ is seldom more healthy than the average desk slave or soft -muscled busi- ness man.—Baltimore Herald. ♦ 5 11, Minard's Liniment Cures Diphtheria.
