Bumarck ti a Drinker
Andrew White, former ambas-
sador to Germany, writing in the
Century, repeats the story in the
words of Professor Gn^ist: "One day
1 met Bismarck and asked him
shout his health, lie answered: 'It
is wretched. 1 can neither eat nor
sleep.' 1 answered: 'Let me send
yoit something that will help you.
1 have just received a lot of Her-
mitage and will send you a doien
bottles. If you take- a couple of
glasses eatfh day with your dinner it
will be the best possible tonic and
will do you great good ' Somo time
afterward." continued Gneist, "I
met him again and asked how tho
wine agreed with him. 'Oh/ said
Bismarck, 'not at all. It made mo
worse than ever.' 'Why,' said I,
'how did you take it?' 'Just as you
told nit,' replied Bismarck; 'a cou-
ple of bottles each day with my din-
ner.' "
Silk Caterpillar.
The nenttf of a caterpillar of un-
determined species living in a sin-
gle forest in Madagascar offer a pos-
sible new source of fine silk. M.
Thery of the Madagascar forestry
department states that these nests,
which are attached to trees, are of
dazzling whiteness and are about
sixteen inches long, consisting of
silk—lustrous, very flexible and very
tenacious—much resembling that of
the common silkworm. From 100
to 150 caterpillars live in a single
nest, going out at night for food.
The caterpillars are very proline, (
and it is probable that they can h«
successfully introduced into other
forests. Experiments are being
made to determine the value of the
bilk. ' ,
C. W. Hickey, the converted
cow boy, lectured in the M. E
Church, South, building, in In-
dianola, last Saturday ni^ht and
Sunday. He devoted his ad
drosses mainly to the subject of
personal work on tho part of pro
fessing Christians.

Sweet Mupic.
The children of Paris have a now
toy in a clockwork phonograph cost-
ing only 7r, cents. This remark-
able instrument, which La Nature
describes, has a mica diaphragm, a >
sounding box, a trumpet and a nee-
dle which follows the recQrd upon
the disk.
Most marvelous of all is the disk
itself, for the voice record is made
in chocolate. It is said to give a
fine reproduction of the voice, and—
and—and—the record, tune and all,
can be eaten after it has been played.
Lord Rosebery'« Superstition.
Lord Kosebery is superstitious. .
recollect one Sunday afternoon
walking in his grounds at the Dur-
dans Me found a dead hedgehog
on the path by the Epsotn course.
Lord Rosebery halted. "1 wonder
what that means? Had 1 seen it
last Sunday—the Sunday before
the Derby (which he had won J—in
dace of the day after 1 should have
ieen in a state! You know, one ran
across my path at Eton just before
I ran my first race. Isn't it
strange?".—Windsor Magazine.

ing less than 8 cents, will cause «

where in the city. A messenger will
carry it from the point of recep-
tion to the receiver and will wait

Not Yet a Depew Story,
A few days ago Senator Spooner
told a story to an appreciative group
of senatorial listeners. When the
laugh had subsided Senator Allison,
who feared the senator from Wis-
consin might grow inflated, asked:
"Is that one of Depew's stories?"
"Not yet," retorted Senator
Spooner.—-Washington Poa;..
