"To be sure we will, and that's the

he made q movement as il he would seize

his heels, and ran away with the speed
of a scared wolf, while a roar of laugh

Choral Applied Externally.

Chloral hydrate is now employed by
physicians with considerable success in
neuralgia pains and in cancer of the
breast; and this, in some instances,
when sedatives and narcotics have nota-
bly, failed to give relief. The mode OF
application practiced in such cases is by
the saturation of folds of lint of the size
of the part to be treated brought into
close contact, then covered with three
or four layers of lint covered with oil
silk or spongio-piline wrung out of hot
water. The application to raw surfaces

They Carried Her Up and Down.

A lady recently applied for admission
to the tower of the lighthouse at Atlantic
City, but was too weak to ascend the
stairs. The gallant keeper, who bears
the inappropriate name of Major Wolf, at
once offered to carry her up 228 steps
the tower is 184 feet high. She gladly
accepted the offer, and the Major taking
her in his arms, the start was made. The
woman weighed It's pounds, and when
the top was reached the bearer of this
burden was rs nearly played out as he
could be and maintain his perpendicular
When the invalid was ready to come
down, Major Wolf did not feel equal to
the task of carrying her, so powerful
colored man, waiter in one of the
hotels, was pressed into service, and in
his arms the lady was borne down to the
ground.

Rewarded for Sinking His Ship.

A remarkable instance of presence OF
mind on the part of the Captain OF
man-of-war is related by the st. Peters
burg papers. The Russian war frigate
Olaf, which had accompanied the yacht
of the Czarowich to Copenhagen, was
lying at anchor among hundreds of other
ships in the harbor, when a fire was dis
covered in the coal bunker below, which
was only few feet from the powder
magazine. There was no time to put out
the fire before it could reach the maya
zine, and an explosion of the large stores
of cartridges and gunpowder contained
i'll it would probably have destroyed not
only the Olaf, and the surrounding ships,
but part of Copenhagen itself. Capt.
Rehbinder, the commander of the Olaf,
saw at once that the only thing to be
done to prevent catastrophe was to
sink the ship. After sending away the
crew with the ships papers, cash boxes
and valuable instruments In boats, he
ordered the carpenters and engineers to
make leak in the vessel, and half an
hour afterward she sank in not very
deep water. Next day she was raised
again, and after some provisional repairs
was taken to Cronstadt. The damage
done is stated to be comparatively tri-
fling, and court martial held on the
officers of the vessel unanimously ex-
pressed the highest praise of the conduct
of the Captain and men. The Emperor
has appointed him his aide camp,
which Is one of the highest honors con-
ferred on Russian naval officers, and
men under him have received gratuities
from the Emperor's privy purse.

A Famous HOrse.WOman.

A Yorkshire authority says that per-
haps the most exciting and enthusiastic
scene ever witnessed on a race-course
was at Knavesmire, in 1904, when
Mrs. Thornton accepted her brother
in-law, Captain F'lints challenge to
ride race for a wager for $500 guineas
and 1000 gpineas bye" The distance
was four miles, and Mrs. Thornton to
ride her weight against Mr.. Flint his
weight. A hundred thousand persons
hocked to the course, and the Sixth ORA
goons were called out to aid the Consta-
bles in keeping order. AT the start the
betting was "five to six and four on the
petticoat." When half the course had
been run it rose to seven to four, and at
three miles advanced to three to one.
During the three miles the lady had been
gradually increasing the lead, when in
the last mile her girth slackened, and al
though she cleverly kept her seat she
could not maintain her pace. 1t was
said that 100000 changed hands.
In the following year Mrs. Thornton
rode two other races-one a match for
1000 guineas and bet of 600 guineas
with Mr.. Bamford, who at the last mo-
ment declined to ride, and Mrs. Thorn
ton cantered over the course. The other
was with a jockey named Buckle. Mrs.
Thornton, in purple cap and waistcoat,
nankeen shirt, purple shoes and embroi-
dered stockings, took the lead and kept
it for some distance, but was passed by
Buckle, who maintained his position for
few lengths. "when," to quote chron-
icler, "the lady, by the most excellent
Workmanship, pushed forward and came
in in q style superior to anything of the
kind we ever witnessed, gaining the race
by half a neck"

THE OLD, OLD STORY.
BY ILDEoERrE.

Why do you write Of the oden story,
One 40 young and one 30 fair;
Has thy young heart seen aught OF glory
That love has brought?-and the end despair!
Didst thou not know that no eyes were true,
That all were faithless, even the gray,
And brown, and black, the haze and blue
We're never constant, and will wander away?
Let me tell you n story of flower fair
That grew in the woodland quite alone,
lily tall and fragrant and rare,
A tr pical beauty in a frigid zone.
Meath its stalk aud under the leaves
vine grew up in slender tendrils fine,
And between the vine and lily breathes
The story oden and yet divine.
At first they were, and looked askance,
And the lily was pale in her naughty pride,
While the vine was firm AZ Knight with lance,
Who cared for women only to deride
They struggled with fate as many do,
Only to enhance with brighter smile,
And at last with twining they kissed these TWO
And saw not, wondered not, ali the while.
The lily, 30 proud and regaE tall
Gave up hec heart, gave up her life,
And in the end this was not ali,
A VOW was given to be wife.
Time went on the vine rapidly outgrew
The stately lily who had begun to fade,
Forgotten was she and only the dew
Was distilled from the eyes that God had made
Brave, generous vine had began to stray,
And pretty cobea reached at last,
While in fortnight he far away;
His love was done, twas dead and past.
The lily queenly in her power,
Dismayed at the course of the Grant vine,
Threw smiles to Timothy in an hour,
And they we'd Is this loUe divine?
MORAL.
II two hearts stray and one is true,
Look for brown eyes and not for blue.
II brown ewes falter and betray,
Seek consolation in those of gray.

FIGURE OF THE EARTH.

PhyUtco1 Forces Which Produced the
Present shape.
The "Comptes Rendus" of the French
Academy contains q remarkable paper
by M. Faye on the physical forces which
have produced the present figure of the
earth. After remarking on the use of
the pendulum in determining the figure
of the earth from q series Of measure
ments of the intensity and direction of
the gravitati0n force at different parts Of
the earth's surface, he draws attention
to the very curious fact that while the
direction and intensity of gravity are
attected perceptibly by the presence OF
hills such as Solicitation and Arthurs
Seat, or even by masses as small as the
great pyramid of the Gizeh. gigantic
mountains such as the Himalayas,
and great elevated plateaus and table
lands, do not affect the pendulum indi-
cations ia any sensible manner, except
in certain cases where, upon elevated
continents, there appears to be verita-
bic defeat of attraction instead of the
excess which might be expected. In
deed, the observations are sufficiently
striking to seem to point to the suppose
ton that under the whole of every large
continent there are enormous cavities.
More than this, the attractions at the
surface of all the great oceans appear too
great to agree with the distribution pre-
sumed by Clairant's formula, which is
exact enough for most purposes.
Sir G. Airy's suggestion that the base
of the Himalaya range reaches down into
the denser liquid interior, and there dis
places certain amount of that liquid,
so that the exterior attraction is thereby
lessened, is one which, inherently i'm
probable, fails to have any application
in explaining why the attraction above
the seas should be greater than over the
continents. NJ. Faye propounds the
following solution to the difficulty !: Un
der the oceans the globe cools more
rapidly and to greater depth than be-
meath the surface of the continents. At
depth Of 4, 900 meters Q3, 900 feet) the
ocean will still have temperature not
remote from 0 deg. c., while at a similar
depth beneath the earth's crust the tenn
perature would be not far from $50 deg.
9. following 108 feet in depth down for
an increase of deg. in the internal tenn
perature). If the eartL had but one uni
form rate of cooling all over it, it would
be reasonable to assume that the solidi-
fed crust would have the same thick
ness and the same average density all
over it. It is therefore argued that be.
low the primitive oceans the earth's
crust assumed q definite solid thickness
before the continents, and that, in con-
tracing, these thicker portions exercised
pressure upon the fluid nucleus tend
ing to elevate still further the CONT
nents. The hypothesis, NJ. Faye thinks,
will, moreover, explain tho unequal dis
tribution of land and sea around the two
poles, the general rise and fall of CONT
nents being determined by the excess
of density Of the crust below the oceans.
and by the lines or points Of least resist
ance to internal pressure being at the
middle of continents rat the margins of
oceans.
