Crime and Superstition.

Catherine De Medicis, one of the
French queens noted for vice and cruelty
was victim to supersttious fears. Hel
public policy was bold, and she was gen
orally thought to be a woman of great
courage and unfailing resources.
Her reign, and her subsequent adj
ministration as Queen Mother to the
young king, was brilliant period in the
history of the French Court. She
fascinated strangers by her elegant man.
ners, and corrupted great statesmen by
the wiles Of court beauties.
But the great Queen was a genuine
coward. An astrologer attended her in
the palace and in all her journeys. She
never engaged in any enterprise without
consulting the stars, and after her death
a great variety of amulets and charms
were found on her person.
In the last year of her life a great
comet blazed in the heavens. 1t fright
ened her terribly as an omen of coming
death. It shone in the windows of the
palace at great feast, and she could not
sit in quiet till all the shutters were
closed, and the gloomy portent was
shut out.

No one ever hears q boy complain
about the breaking, soul-kllllng
hardships of wood-sawing. All such
talk In confined to adults, and it has no
real foundation. There is only one way
to saw wood and take comfort at the
same time, and every boy has that way.
Yesterday afternoon half cord OF four
foot wood vas flung down at the gate OF
q houseon Second street, and the wagon
had only departed when boy fifteen
years old appeared with q bucksaw IN
his hand. All his actions indicated his
purpose to go through that 1wood-plle
like chsin-ligktning, bat 1t took nlxn ex-
actly seven minutes TO discover that ne
had left the saw-buck in the wood-sned'
and five minutes more 70 bring It out
Some boys would have dropped the
saw-buck wherever il happened ana
pitched right in, but this boy spent nve
minutes in selecting location OF the ilrst
water. BY this time he had the pres
epce of three other boys to cheer MN on
to victory These three boys nade the
follow suggestions in the order gwen
below:
I'D hire masheen.
I'D run away and fight InJuns.
"Pd let the old man do it.
But the hero went right ahead with
His work. In twenty minutes after his
first move he had a stick of wood on the
saw-buck. He turned it over four times
before it settled down to his satisfaction.
and then he picked up the saw. A buck
saw is a simple yet ingenious piece OF
machinery. Men who we're saving wood
by the day have been known to stand
and gaze at the saw for an hour at o
time without being able to solve its mys-
terious points This boy picked up the
saw and carefully examined ii. In the
course of seven minutes, with the AID OF
the other three boys, he was enabled to
discover:
l. That the teeth were all there.
2. That the framework was Of beech.
3. That il was in perfect order, as far
as boy could judge.
When these discoveries had been made,
q discussion arose as to whether boy
could saw faster by saving left-handed.
The vote on this question was carried IN
the negative, and now the moment ar
rived for action.
The boy spit on his hands.
He removed his coat.
lie bumped up his back.
He pulled his cap over his ears.
He had his knee on the stick and the
saw in hand, when little three-cent dog
down on the next corner run out at
passing goat The goat rushed into a
yard and a girl was heard screaming.
The saw fell to the ground, the saw-buck
was upset, and the boy went tearing
down TO the corner like a cheap whlrl-
wind, and when darkness began to settle
down over the face of the earth he re-
turned to carry the saw and buck into
the woodshed for the night.-Detrott

A Question in Philosophy.

'"Where ignorance is bliss tbs folly to
be WISE" so thinks, apparently, the
Poughkeepsie Press. 1t published the
following with ali the confidence of limo
cency: as The train was going
at the rate of forty miles an hour when
the parallel rod of the engine broke;
striking the ground it threw the forward
driving-wheels from the track. The jar
was so great rs to throw the fireman,
who was feeding the fire, up In the air
such distance as to allow the train to
pass under him" It is an old axiom in
natural philosophy and con frmed by all
the feats of circus equestrians that a
body thrown from a moving horse or
train would carry its impetus and return
rom whore it was elected. So, accord
ing to this, the fireman thrown from the
train must have been sent to such won
derful height that upper currents of mir
retarded his forward progress. Kings

4 Freak OF Nature.

Tt is reported that out in Mason Valley
Piute squaw lately gave birth to fe-
maiepapoose, which has instead of hands,
two almost perfectly shaped frogs joined
to the wrists at their back The infant
is able to move the legs and open the
mouth of what takes the place of the right
hand. The one fastened on the left wrist
is not so complete, as the mouth will not
open, but the legs move as freely as the
other it is supposed that the mother
was frightened by frog sometime pre-
viously. The Indians regard the infant
as "big medicine, and the squaw now
occupies a high social position. Logan
