" Fellow citizens, I'm sick," said
Nathan Beeswax iast night to a cir-
cle of admirers. "There was too much
refreshment circulating last evening.
I began with beer, shifted to old
Pepper, finally worked my way round
to Mumm's extra dry and then went
efii int a trance. When I woke up this
morning 1 thought I was somebody
else. I caught a .glimpse of my reflec-
tion in a mirror, and my face fright-
ened me so I screamed. You can't
imagine how I felt, because I broke
the record of ,luisery. No man .ever
did feel like. I did and live. I reached
for the ice water pitcher and took
a .gulp. For a minute I thought I
was in heaven. That water tasted
like ambrosia and nectar. Thirsty?
Don't ask no trivial questions. The
temperature in my system was so
high that my breath set my mous-
tache on fire. It was completely de-
stroyed. No insurance. I made four
efforts to get out of bed before I
realized the fatuous futility of es-
saying the impossible_ I moaned in my
agony. I was hot one miuute and

week that stopped in the stretch and
asked for water. I opened the per-

to the conchaion that if I wanted
to experience that joy which pase-

to switch. So I chased a whisper
across the bar, and a bottle of crim-

The Iot of the Sultan of Turkey

"I stood on the palace terrace ris-

forth to say his prayers. I saw the

STiLL A CENTURY BEHIND.
Filipinos Only Xteginrring to Under-
stand Present Day Customs.
Things of the nineteenth century
have hardly been known in the Philip-
pine islands until very recently. The
people there got along with eigh-
teenth century iuetliods and mate-
riwls until American occupation
made thein realize that the twentieth
century wan here. While living over
rivers of oil they had a scant eup-
ply imported from Russia. Now wells
have been sunk and the natives are
getting a little light on their_tormer
ignorance. Stripe are landing on the
island's maocrluery that truly aston-
ishes the natives. 'Where they have
been scratching the soil to raise pour
crops they are now ploughing deep
furrows and getting something near
the value of a productive soil. Edged
tools without edges and with temper
uncertain as that of a Spaniard have
been set aside for axes, picks, ohisels,
drills, saws and shovels that mean
much more and butter work with
1eee expenditure of human effort.
Tlie worst known appliances that.
boasted of the name "too,s" are be-
ing replaced by the very best inaatru-
ments of labor known to our highest
civilization. Steam power in its most
perfect fornin is being applied where
it wilts no more known than it waa
with us a century ago. The people
are learning for the first time that
hills can be out down and valleys
filled up to make roads more level,
so that lar,gor loads can be hauled
witli mach leas effort than ever be-
fore. The steam shovel that with one
motion of its iron jaws takes up more
material than a dozen natives could
shovel out 1n an entire day Is an ob-
ject of absolute wonder. In fact, the
Filipinos are only beginning to learn
that the world has been actually
moving since Magellan landed on
their shores and gave them the name
of "robbers.'"
Old Bibles in Damascus.
There is an old tradition that the
so-called treasure dome of the Jami
el Kobir mosque in Damascus con-
tained a number of valuable manu-
scripts relating chiefly to early,
Christian times. After ,years of per-
suasion, says a tVienna correspon-
dent of the Paris Messenger, the
Sultan was induced• to allow the
opening of the dome, which had re-
mained closed and carefully guarded
for centuries, experts having assured
him that there were no documents
in the collection affecting the Mo-
Iiamnledan, religion. The manuscripts
discovered in the dome were sent to
Constantinople, where It was found
that they, included a number of frag-
ments of the Old and New Tes
n30nts an the ancient Syrian lang-
nage and characters, together with
fragments of a Translation of the
Old and New Testaments In the die-
leen of S,yno-Palestine. Among the
latter was fouxid a translation of
St. Paula , Epistles into a dialect
winch 'was spoken at the time of
Chalet. There were also fragments
of the Pentateuch in the Samaritan
language, a tranelatioll of Psalm
ixxvili, in Arabia, but written to
Greek characters, dating from the
century. It is now report-.
manuscripts have been handed over

If sIngie beds were more numerous

go away by themselves till they die
or get over their troubles, and this
instinct a great many human beings
have. Those that have it are best
when indulged in it—not to the
slightest degree of neglect, how-
ever. Where two children in a
family must share the same room,
in a great many cases they would
bo better off to have two single
beds rather than one wide double
bed. We can share a great many
things with those we love, but soli-
tude clings to us from birth to death.
We cone into the world alone, we
must go out of it alone, and we
live in it alone, in a certain impor-
tant sense, and to get and keep

Indigestion, congested liver, impure

not know what Is the matter with
them. They ara.g along a miser-

times obtain a. little temporary re -

in rim® they become tired of living,
wonder why they were ever born,
and why they are alive unless to
endure constant suffering. To such
sufferers there is a haven of re-
fuge in Dr. August Iioenlg's Ham-

ect, ant, according to the reports
tom Nicaragua, everyboday is be.com-
ag reconciled to it, and the results
tem to be thus far beneficial.
•Tjxe law (iodates a laborer as any
ea'.son, Inlale or female, over 16, who
,as not a capital of 500 pesos, which
e about $100 in our currency.'
It then declares that every laborer
ust have an employer. Anyone who
found to be unemployed is to be
,rrested at entice, imprisoned for
wenty days and made to labor on
blit works while awaiting au elm-
loygr.
When an employer hires a person to
ork, the employee must buy a small
ook from the (aovernment in which
o register the needle, age, description
nd general characteristics of the
arson and conditions of the contract.
s employer must give his employee
receipt for this book, which the lat-
er can produce as a proof of his good
ending whenever arrested by the
once on suspicion of being idle.
When the laborer has completed his
tract• with one employer and de-

take a receipt for it.
If the Ia,borgr wanttd money in ad-

It looks to editors of Nicaragua

pasted for being out of work.
The :main. pwrpoee of the law, bow -

to prevent idleness by obliging

Trick 'With. an Egg.
Every one has heard of Columbus'
trick with an egg. but here Ls ono
quite as curious.
Place a large boiled egg in an
egg cup in such a manner that it
will not touch the bottom ; more-
over, the circumference of the egg
must be somewhat greater than
the width of the cup at the top.
If you .none, grasp the egg and
the cup, and turning both upside
down, stripe the tap of the egg
against 'the table, the china cup
will ;tccrack and probably go to
pleeec ; but the egg will remain iti-
tact. especially 1f it has a thick
shell.
Ouly the point or tip of the egg
is to be brought into contact with
the table, and the cup and egg
must be lheld firmly while this Is
being done,
