A Modern Cyclops.

in the Wood museum, attached to
Bellevue hospital, New York, is an ana
tomical curiosity which is creating con-
siderable interest among scientific men
of that and other cities. 1t is the head
of mulatto child whose deformity is
revolving, but still calculated to create
discussion on the origin OF the ancient
Greek mythology. Several years ago a
physician in New Orleans was informed
that a mulatto woman had given birth
to a child which had an eye in the mid
die of its forehead. He found the state
ment on examination to be true, but
the deformity was much greater than
had been represented. The little one
had neither mouth nor nose, but In
place of the nose found two perfectly
shaped ears. In the middle of its fore
head was p large bright eye. In short
time the infant died and its body was
purchased by the physician, who ship
ped it to Professor James r. Chiffon, of
New York. for examination. The cap
tain of the bark on which it was sent
concealed the fact from his crew until
they were at sea, when he iniudiciously
exposed it to view. The superstitious
sailors became Mortified at the presence
of what they deemed a victim of the
wrath of the Almighty, and after pray
ing while went TO the captain in a
body and ordered him to throw the
corpse into the sea. The captain,
through fear of the crew, consented, but
managed to deceive them. Adroitly re-
moving the head he sewed the rest of
the body in sack and gave it to his men
to throw overheard, while he concealed
the head in his cabin. On his arrival
in New York it was delivered to Profess
sor Chiffon. The curiosity was care
fully examined, and the professor was
preparing treatise on the subject when
he died. It was then transferred to Pro-
lessor Doremus, and a short time ago it
was presented to DIR. Wood, of Bellevue
hospital, for his museum.

Some Things the Chinese Eat.

The sharks fin is delicacy which Is
rarely omitted from the menu at a
Chinese feast. It is one of the great
classic dishes" forming the pieces de
resistance of an official banquet, and is
eaten either in the form of a joint, gar
nished with crabs, or served up in
small pieces in cups placed before each
guest. The consumption of rats, though
it seems to be somewhat on the decline,
is the cause of a very important traffic
in the principal towns of certain dis
tricts, and especially in street in Can
ton called Hing-Loung-Kai. Here these
animals may be seen in enormous multi
titudes hanging up in the shop windows
among chickens and ducks and geese.

Self-Reliance.

The young man who starts in life
with determination to work his own
way to success, and to place absolute de-
pendence upon nothing but his own
energies and perseverance, is far more
likely to succeed than he who is con-
stantly locking up for help from parents
or friends. It is well enough to have a
fathers or friends aid, but far better
to have self-reliance, to look facts
squarely in the face and prepare either
to take honest advantages of or combat
them bravely, as occasion may demand.
Men rarely understand their own
capabilities. Many one has learned
for the first time that he could swim
when threatened with drowning, and
few of us understand how much we can

The Color of the Sea.


The changes in the color of the sea
have attracted the attention of seafar-
ing men from the earliest times. They
struck with wonder the Phenicians
when first they ventured out of the
Mediterranean into the Atlantic; they
excited the astonishment of Columbus
and terrified his companions while in
search of the far-famed Indies; and
they are no less surprise TO the modern
navigator. to whom the march of dis
covery has left few unexplored regions
in store. One of the most remarkable
and most widely distributed contrasts
of color is that which is known to exist
between the intensely blue seas situated
between the tropics and the green seas
of higher latitudes. It appears, as
the result of recent observations, and
more especially of a series of expert
ments made on board the German
frigate Gazelle, that there is an intimate
relation between the color of sea water
and the proportion of salt held in solu-
ton by the latter. On comparing the
specific gravity of green water with that
of blue water, it was found that the lat
ter is always heavier than the former,
and, therefore, at the same time more
salt. the two differently colorcd waters
being supposed to have the same tenn
perature. In other words, the greater
or lesser intensity of the blue color of sea
water may be taken as direc. index of
its saltness and of its specific gravity,
so that when we observe the color of
the water successively change from a
deep blue to blush green and dark
green, we may conclude that the water
has become at the same time less salty
and less heavy.

FOttr Hunting Incidents.

The Santa Barbara (Cal) Independent
records stirring encounter that took
place on the Sd inst. in one of the
rocky fastnesses of the coast range. A
certain California lion had been making
himself obnoxious to the stock-raisers
just over the line of settlement, and
Huley Norris, who had lost several hun
dred dollars woith of sheep, got up
grand hunt fo1' the troublesome lions
benefit. With large number of dogs
the party took up the trail early in the
morning, and followed it up the noun
tains until the lion was found. There
were several sharp fights between the
lion and the dogs, several of the latter
being killed, and it was only by taking
big risk that Norris at last advanced
upon and at the distance of few PAGES
sent a fatal bullet into the beasts head.
They hunted geese with oxen and artil-
lery in the good old days of '49, in Yuba
county, Cal. The .Marysville Appeal
says: GA curious method of goose
stalking was adopted by the hunters, an
OK at once serving as a covert and means
of approach. A flock having been dis
covered at considerable distance. the OK
would be started in their direction, be-
ing allowed to feed as he went along
thus disarming the suspicion ofthe wary
Iowl. AS soon as the hunter got within
shot he discharged both barrels-one al
the geese on the ground and the other
as they arose, bagging from thirty to
sixty geese He either rested the gun
On the ox's back, or allowed him to pass
on, and then raked them with his small
cannon. Quite number of fortunes
were made in this manner"
Harry Youne returned to Cheyenne,
Wyoming, one day recently, from a
hunting tour near the Laramie peak of
two or three weeks duration, and among
the other evidences fhis successful trip
he brought back the skin of large
silver tipped grizzly bear. The ami
NAL was one of the largest of its species,
and dangerous antagonist had the bal!
from trusty rife missed its mark. In
relating the incident of the killing to the
Cheyenne Leader, Harry said that he
went within few yards of the beast,
which laid in a crouching position, be-
fore discovering it, and he knew full
well his mortal danger should his shot
fall short of its intended mission; but
he had the utmost confidence in his rife
and blazed away, killing the animal in
stantly

days ago. struck the trail of catamount
and finally brought the animal to bay.
After q long and bloody fight, in which
eleven dogs took part, and out OF which
most of them came mangled, bleeding
and crippled, the ferocious animal was
killed. It was few inches over three
feet in full length, very tall and had an
immense head, armed with long sharp
teeth

Pertaining to Pencil.

A lead pencil should never be wet.
1t hardens the lead and ruins the pencil.
This fact is known to newspaper men
and stenographers. But nearly every
one else does wet pencil before using
IT, This fact was definitely settled by
a newspaper clerk away down East.
Being of mathematical turn of mind,
he ascertained by actual count, that of
fifty persons who came into an Office to
write an advertisement or church notice,
forty-nine wet q pencil in their mouths
before using it. Now this clerk always
uses the best pencils that can be pro-
eured-in fact is connoisseur in lead
pencils, cherishing good one with
something Of the pride a soldier feels in
his gun or sword; and it hurts his feel
ings to have his pencil spoiled, But
politeness and business considerations
require him to lend his pencil scores of
times every day. And often, after it
had heen wet till it was hard and brittle
and refused to mark, his feelings would
overpower him.
Finally he got some cheap pencils and
sharpened them, and kept them to lend.
The first person who took up the stock
pencil was a drayman, whose breath
smelled of onions and whisky. He held
the point in his mouth and soaked it for
several minutes while he was torturing
himself in the effort to write an adver-
tisement for missing bulldog. The
next was a man whose mouth over
flowed with tobacco juice, in streakS
down each side, and who wet the PEN
Gil each time he wrote word. Then a
sweet-looking young lady came into the
office, with kid gloves that buttoned the
whole length of her arms, aud hung in
row of buttons and button holes halt
a yard over her shoulders. She picked
up the same old pencil and pressed it to
her dainty lias preparatory to writing
an advertisement for lost bracelet.
The clerk would have stayed her hand,
even at the risk of box of the best pen
ellis ever Faber catered, but he was too
late. And thus that pencil passed from
mouth to mouth for week. 1t was
sucked by people of all ranks and sta
tions, and all degrees of cleanliness and
uncleanliness. Finally the clerk who
had now learned always to keep lend
ing pencil with him, went to see a
friend who was just recovering from
typhoid fever, and who borrowed PEN
Gil to write his acknowledgment to
kind neighbors who had watched with
him. Next day that pencil went upon
the counter, attached to pad of paper
by string, and was in turn admitted to
the mouth of every caller. Alas, it had
absorbed the fatal typhoid germs, and
one by one those who sucked its poisoned
point were brought low by the epidemic.
But we forebear. Surely no one who
seads this will ever again wet lead
pencil. Let it be a terrible warning

Power Of a Growing Tree.

Walton Hall had at one time its own
corn mill, and when that ineonvenient
necessity no longer existed, the mill
stone was laid by in an orchard and for
gotten. The diameter of this circular
Stone measured five feet and half,
while its depth averaged seven inches
throughout; its central hole had di-
ameter of eleven inches. By mere acci-
dent some bird or squirrel had dropped
the fruit of the filbert tree through this
hole on to the earth, and in 1912 the
Seeding was seen rising up through the
unwonted channel. As its trunk grad
ually grew through this aperture and
increased, its power to raise the pom
drous mass ofstone was speculated upon
by many. Would the 6lbert tree die in
the attempt? Would it burs: the mill
stonep Or would it lift it? In the end
the little filbert tree lifted the milestone.
and by 1868 wore it like a crinoline
about its trunk, and Mr.. Watertcn used
to sit upon it under the branching
shades.

Give Me Three Grains of Corn, Mother.

that year. 1t is sad to think that the present

For read the famine in your cheek,
And in your eyes so wild,
And felt it in your bony hand,
As you laid it on your child.

The queen has lands and gold,
While you are forced to your empty breast
