A Skillful Advertiser. Many years ago. Sir Thomas Lipton was a passenger on an East Indian ateamer bound for Ceylon. While in the Red sea the bOat was disabled, and It became necessary to throw over- board a part of her cargo. Lipton was an interested spectator of the prepara- tions for lightenin he bolted the sce dollar dicker wit secured a paint the ship. Suddenly e and by a twenty the chief engineer rush- and a pot of black paint. Then, to the astonish- ment of the captain and passengers, he cheerfully labeled' each box and bale thrown overbOard "Use Lipton's Teas." The cargo, of course, floated ashore, and for miles in Araby and other lands the natives saw that legend. • Subse- quently the passengers on the injured steamer were compelled to abandon It and take to small boats. On reaching land Sir Thomas was the first to make a cable office and wire the destruction of the boat and safety of the travelers to London. The message was signed "Lipton." Of course , his name was in every English newsipaper the next morning, signed to that message, and he was the -best advertised man in the kingdom. UnapPreciat ed. The shrewdness of one of the found ers of a famous estate in Maine gave rise to many amusing stories, one of ;which has recently been retold. One day the man, who was a large lumber operator, was ,superintending a crew which was breaking Up a log jam in the river. Suddenly the spruce on which he was standing slipped. The lumberman dropped opt of sight in the water, and the logs clOsed over him. The nearest Frenchtnan saw the ac- cident. Hopping briskly over the slip- pery logs, he helped the "boss" to land. Nothing was said about the accident. After an hour or so the Frenchman' be- gan to get anxious betause the reward ;which he considered due was not forth- coming. He approached the lumber- man and, pulling clumsily at his cap, stammered: "I see you fall in, na'sieur, an' I run queek to pull you out 'fore you drown- ed." "Prob'ly," snapped the lumberman— "prob'ly if you'd been 'tending to busi- ness as you'd oughter, you wouldn't have seen me fall in!" Manx Cats. The peculiar breed of cats found an the Isle of Man differs from others only in that they have no tails, and the lack thereof, is the insoluble puzzle to nat- uralists. Since it has become the fash- ion to explain everything by the prin- ciples of evolution, two theories have been offered—one that, owing to the limited range and lack of dense forests, the original cats had no use /for tails, and consequently they (the tails, not the cats) gradually atrophied—for lack of use and became rudimentarY; -anoth- er that the primitive Manx cut off all their cats' tails and in the course of time developed a tailless breed. One thing is certain—the cats are there, and they have no tails. An Old Legacy. A Wednesbury (England) resident in the sixteenth century left $1,000 to pro- vide annually on St. Thomas' day three gowns and three coats to indigent per- sons of the parish. Following the cus- tom of the times, the money was in- vested in land (in this case in miner- als), and the original legacy has in- creased in value to $30,000. Instead of the three gowns and three coats the claarity commissioners who administer the funds are able to present 200 gowns and sixty coats. Castor ont. A simple method of taking castor oil, according to Medical News, without producing any nauseating effects is to instruct the patient to wash out the mouth with water as hot as, can be borne, swallow a little of it, then swal- low the oil and follow this by rinsing out the mouth well, with hot water. The first swallow of the water cleanses the mouth, makes the membranes hot, so that the oil does not stick, and con- sequently slips down easily. Bard to Please. Brown—You don't look very happy, D um ley. Duntley—I have just lost a fiver on a bet. , Brown—That's bad. Dumley—Yes.

From the Courts. High above the buzz of factories, the clang of trolley gongs and the clatter of traffic rose a crash that terrified the visitor to America. "I hear that noise wherever I go," said he. "What is it?" "Don't be alarmed," we replied. "That's only somebody's relatives breaking his will.". The Trouble With the Clock. "What time is it?" asked his wife suspiciously as he came in. "About 1." Just then the clock struck 3. "Gracious! When did the clock tem- naeace to stutter?" be said, with a fee- ble attempt at justification and a joke. A 'Prentice Hand. "That man you had doing some car- penter work is a fraud."
