| Ill-Paid Hero.
| Mr. French Strother, writing in the
" World's' Work a"bout C. P. Rodgers'
transcontinental flight, says that
financially the trip was a disappointment. He received five dollars a mile
for his flight fromjf-Jew York to Fort
Worth, and from Fort Worth to Pas-
sadena, four' dollars a mile and all the
purses he could arrange for on the
side. He thus received about twenty-
thousand dollars from his hackers and
about three or four thousand dollars
prize money. But his machine cost
five thousand dollars and rep'airs cost
about seventeen thousand dollars
more, so his net return was small.
But he unconsciously summed up
the significance of his flight at Pasadena, after he had heard the last congratulations and had laid off the
American flag they had thrown across
his shoulders, when he' placed his
hands on his mother's shoulder and
said:
"Never mind about the money. It
don't amount to much that way—but
I did it, didn't I?"
John Smith Everywhere.
The good old name of John Smith
does not suggest in English any great
degree of aristocracy, but transferred
to other languages it seems to climb
the ladder, so to speak.
Thus, in Latin it is Johannes
Smithus, the Italian smooths it off into Giovanni Smith!, the Spaniards render it Juan Smithus, the Dutchman
adopts it as Hans Schmidt, the French
flatten it out into Jean Smeet and the
Russian says Jonloff Smittowsld.
When John Smith gets into the tea
trade in Canton.he becomes Jovan
Shimmit; if he clambers about Mount
Hecla the .Icelanders refer to him as
Jahne Smithson; if he trades among
the Tuscaroras he becomes Ton Qa
Smittia; in Poland he is known as
Ivan Schmittiweiski; should be wander among the Welsh mountains they
talk of Jihon Schmidd; when he goes
to Mexico he is called Jontli F'Smitti;
if of classic turn he lingers among
Greek ruins he turns to Ion Smikton,
and in'Turkey he is utterly disguised
as Toe Seef.
. Had His Reasons,
Seeing that his repeated requests to
look pleasant only caused his subject
to scowl more fiercely, the photographer ceased to look pleasant himself.
"If you can't cheer up," he said, "wo
might as well call this sitting off. You
seem an amiable sort of chap. Why
can't you look pleasant when I tell
you to?" "Because I don't want to,"
said the man before the camera. "My
wife is going to send these pictures
to some relatives of hers whom I have
never-seen, and it is my intention to
look like a brigand, so they won't
come."
Progress.
"Women are now making great
strides," remarked Mrs. Baring-Banners.
"Yes," replied the husband; "only
yon can't notice it when you see one
of 'em in a hobble skirt going after
a street car."
Dysentery is always serious and
often a dangerous disease, but it can
be cured. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy has cured
it even when malignant and epidemic. For sale by A. E. A. Mummery,

Satisfactory Floor Stain.
Tho boards had become old-looking
from being, scrubbed and needed a
stain, so I took olive green dye and
applied with a broad brush, using the
dye as hot as possible. This, of
course, dries as rapidly as though the
floor were only being washed. If
wax is used the effect is very good
and the floor is also saved "from wear.
I take a quarter of a pound of paraffin
and dissolvo in a pint of turpentine,
putting ths turpentine in a double
"boiler and leaving it in the- hot water
while I used it, to keep the paraffins
liquid. This is painted on just, as the
dye'was done and hardens as quickly.
In small houses it is very hard to
give up the nse of a room for some
days to allow the floors to be.newly
finished, but this- plan, may be easily
followed, and is most economical. *

A Tasty Sandwich.
It was the memory of a childhood
appetite which inspired a woman to
"serve brown bread sandwiches spread
with horse radish, and sugar with her
afternoon tea. The snappy pungency
of the horse radish was very delightful. The horse radish had, of course,
been mixed with vinegar, the slightest
possible amount nsed, and it was
sprinkled lightly with, powdered sugar.
The brown bread was made of whole
wheat and graham flour and was cut
as thin, as possible.
I For soreness of the muscles, wheth-
• er induced by violent exercise or in-
'jury, there is nothing better than
Chamberlain's Liniment. This liniment also rel eves rheumatic pains.

Entertaining the Duke.
That irrepressible artist, the late
Phil May, "saved the situation" at the
Savage club one night in a very happy manner. It was an occasion when
the late duke of Teck was present,
and on account of this royal visit the
entertainment committee thought it
incumbent upon them to substitute for
the usual free-and-easy show a strictly conventional entertainment, which,
for all the duke's good nature, plainly
bored him to death.
The proceedings went on in a
funereal gloom very alien to the surroundings, till, in despair, one of the
committee begged Phil May to cheer
things up a bit, as only Phil May
could.
"Phil" asked for some black chalks
and a drawing board. The duke had
just become a grandfather by the
birth of the present prince of Wales,
but few saw Phil May's drift as he
drew, in his own inimitable style, an
infant in long clothes grabbing at a
feeding bottle, till he surmounted the
whole with the prince of Wales'
plumes.
The duke was convulsed with laughter and the evening was saved.
More Police for New York.
The police department of /New York
asks the board of estimates to appoint
one thousand more policemen for next
year in that city, and to grant an appropriation, of §2,500,000 additional
for the department. The appeal is
urged on the ground that London,
with only one-third more population
than New York, has almost double
the number of policemen.

Hooked Perfect.
'A"few nights ago an old family
friend was calling at the apartment of
Gen. George Pennington Borden, TJ.
S. A., retired. The general and his
friends were conversing on military
tactics when Mrs. Borden entered
the room and with the brief explanation, after greeting the guest, "Maids
busy," indicated to the majestic warrior that' he was tp fasten, those two
buttons at the back of her blouse
which defy the most agile feminine
contortions. Meekly the veteran
arose, murmuring, "How are the
mighty fallen! What Tights are left
to men when a brigadier general of
the "United States arm'y must buttSn
a blouse in the back? How can I
pose as a military tactician when I
can he driven into a corner by a* simple wave of a feminine hand?"
Despite his wail, the struggle was
soon over, and the gallant soldier was
rewarded with the information: "You
did that very well."
"Thank you, my dear,"" said the
general mournfully. "I am glad to
have my humble talents recognized."
