humiliatingly revealed that it must

For th • second time Sam Parks
walking delegate in New York
City of the bridgemen's union, has
been convicted of receiving bribes
from contractors to prevent bins
from ordering strikes on work where
there was a time limit for comple

the strange fact remains that the

TAKING A DAY OFF.
Professional Men and Their Idea of
Having a Good Time.
A party of friends, men whose
professions leave them little time
for rest or amusement, went into
the country for a 124 hours’ holi
day, resolutely determined to free
their minds for that length of time
from all ideas connected with
their work, says the English Mag
azine.
“There’s to be no talking shop,”
said the lawyer, “on penalty of ex
clusion from the company,” and
everyone agreed with him.
The morning was spent in a
long tramp along country roads;
then came a hearty dinner at noon,
followed by another tramp, which
was brought to a close by a heavy
shower. The company returned to
the inn where they were to pass
the night, and found a bright lire
awaiting them.
‘‘Now let’s have an evening of
quiet enjoyment with these
books,” said the doctor. “I see
there are a number here of which
I’ve heard and that 1 haven’t read.
What do you say?”
Again everyone agreed, and
presently there was no sound in
the room save the crackling of tin'
fire, the soft rustle of the pages of
book or magazine, and an occa
sional contented sigh.
‘‘Look hero. said the lawyer,
suddenly. “What’s that the doe
tor’s got inside his hook?’’
“Eh?” said the doctor, hurried
ly, t hrust ing a small red book and
a pencil into his pocket. “I—my
mind had just wandered to a case
of—well, never mind!”
“Come now, all of us own up
wlmt we’re really doing!” said t le*
lawyer, and it thereupon appeared
that the schoolmaster had discov
ered an educational report among
the magazines and was reading it;
the hanker had been studying the
stock exchange reports, and the
clergyman had a slip of paper on
which he was making notes for his
sermon.
“How about you?” asked the
doctor, turning to the legal mem
ber of the party. “Have you real
ly been reading that magazine?”
“I have,” said the lawyer, hand
ing him the book. “Shake it and
see if I've concealed any papers.”
“No, you haven’t,” admitted the
doctor; “but the magazine seems
to open most naturally at this ar
ticle, my friend,” and he soberly
passed the magazine to the cler
gyman, who read aloud: "Some
Curious Cases of Circumstantial
; Evidence in Criminal Trials.”
TO UTILIZE MINT.
Medicinal Value of Plant Well Known
Among the Ancients.
In fields and waste places, in old
fashioned gardens and along the
banks of winding streams, the
mint family rise, clean, erect, pun
gent and odorous, says the Phil
adelphia Record. Every member
carries a little medicine chest
tucked in its green leaves.
During hot weather, especially,
the therapeutic value of the mint
can scarcely be overestimated.
Spearmint, or its cousin, German
peppermint, bound across t he fore
head will give relief in violent
headache.
Prepared in a tea, with half wa
ter and half wine, a cupful taken
daily will remove bad breath, if it
comes from a disordered stomach;
while essence of mint, mixed with
cream and sugar or creme de
menthe—the French preparation
of peppermint—with plenty of
cracked ice, .affords relief for the
pain of lassit tide caused by the ex
cessive heat or fatigue. In colic
and summer complaints also, this
preparation proves a/ soothing
and invigorating assistant.
In the mannfactui-/' of creme de
menthe at least fiv* distillations
are necessary. Thi* is an ancient
liquor, dating baclf to the early
ages, where it wasTused by the an
cients for mediciiflil purposes and
| as a stimulant. The menthol sold
■ in the Japanese tund Chinese stores
is also a preparation of pepper
mint used for centuries by the
Chinese. /
