Too MUeh ENTERPRISE.

An eagle, flying down from his eyre
on lofty rock, seized q lamb and car
ried him aloft in his talons. A jackdaw,
Witnessing the capture of the lamb, was
stirred with envy, and said to himself i:
"Why, that looks to be as easy as start
ing big newspaper" and lie deter
mined to emulate the strength and fight
of the eagle. He few around with
great whirr of his wings, and finally
settled upon a large ram, with the in
tention of carrying him off, anyhow;
but, his claws becoming entangled in
the fleece, he was not able to release
himself, although he futtered with his
wings as much as he could. The shep-
herd, seeing what had happened, ran
up and caught him, and, clipping his
wings, took him home for the children
to play with. On their asking, "Mther,
what kind of bird is this }" ne re-
piled, "To my certain knowledge he is
a daw; but he will have it that he is an

Impossible that Shakespeare should not
have needed them more than once, often
SO beautiful and poetical that one
wonders they could fail to be his favo-

moved from the Farnesina table, was
thrown into the Tiber" His explana-
ton Is that Shakspeare's forte lay IN
characterization and that endlessly di-
Versihed. But when he sketched each
several character it seems that he was
never content till he had either found or
fabricated the aptest words possible for
representing its form and pressure most

A CURE FOR NIGHT SwEATs.-A pow
der known as streetoulUer, composed of
three parts of salicylic acid and ninety
seven parts silicate Of magnesia, is used
in Germany as a cure for sweating of
the feet. Recently Belgian physician,
DIR. Kohnhom, tried its efficacy In sew
eral cases of night sweating by consump-
tives. The beneficial effect was imme-
date and permanent. The powder was
rubbed over the whole body To pre-
vent any breathing of the dust and con-
sequent coughing a handkerchief must
be held over the patients mouth and
nose while the powder is being applied.
MEDICAL Use OF EGGs.-For burns
and scalds nothing is more soothing
than the white of an egg, which may be
poured over the wound. 1t is softer as
varnish for burn than coliodion, and,
being always at hand, can be applied
Immediately. It is also more cooling
than the "sweet oil and cotton" which
was formerly supposed TO be the surest
application to allay the smarting pain.
It is the contact with the air which
gives the extreme discomfort expert
enced from ordinary accidents OF this
kind, and anything which excludes air,
and prevents inflammation, is tbe thingtO
