Mysteries of Malaria.

Walter COote, author of Wander.
ings, South and East who has been AT
the FIJI Islands, has the following notes
upon the vagaries of what is called
malaria, the strange ways of which are
often passed finding out:
L have seen Englishmen living In the
FIJI Islands, on the border of almost
stagnant estuares, with the densest and
most rank vegetation around them on all
sides, with mosquitoes and hundred
such insects infesting the district like a
plague; in dry seasons their houses will
stand in the very center Of great plains OF
reeking ooze; in times of flood the mud
dy river will rise to their very verandas,
and yet these people are robust and
healthy. | have gone from there and a
few weeks later visited islands in the
Solomon group or New Hebrides, where
| have found "A dry coral sound and high
land, upon which the pure trade wind
blows month after month; steep land
too, from which the rain water is quickly
borne downward to the sea, and all this
but few hundred miles from the Fiji
group, and in the same latitude and
blown upon by the same trade wind.
Yet in these places it is almost death fol-
Il white man to spend more than a few
months in the year on shore, and practi.
cally no one who lives ashore at all can
hope to escape frequent and severe at
tacks of fever"

WISE WORDS.

Be deaf to the quarrelsome and dumb
to the inquisitive.
Do not be too generous with your
temper. Keep it.
Contacts with the world either breaks
or hardens the heart.
The world is comedy to those who
think, a tragedy to those who feel.
Great things are not accomplished by
idle dreams but by years of patient
study.
A thorough scholar carries key with
which to unlock every door in the man
sion of knowledge.
The mistakes of women result almost
always from her faith in the good and
her confidence in truth.
Experience shows that success is due
less to ability than to zeal. The winner
is he who gives himself to his work,
body and soul.
To tell our own secrets is generally
folly, but that folly is without guilt; to
communicate those with which we are
intrusted is always treachery, and trcach-
cry for the most part combined with
folly.
True repentance consists in the heart
being broken for sin and broken from
sin. Some often repent, yet never re-
form; they resemble Il man travelling in
dangerous path, who frequently starts
and stops, but never turns aside.

Fifty-Three Pampered Pets.

There is most excellent lady in Chi
cago who has fifty-three dogs, not counting
two temporarily absent on a scouting ex-
petition. This lady is we'll known in
society circles, is woman of means and
has an elegant home. She has a great
love for dogs, and, beginning her col
lection some years ago with two fine st.
Demands, she has in one way and an
other increased it until there are now
tifty-three dogs big and little, in her es-
Enlistment. They are not allowed to
eat meat. but are treated frequently to
oyster soup, poached eggs, batter cakes,
oatmeal, etc. Their meals are pre-
pared with as much care as to clean
illness and form as though they were
human beings and the food is served as
nicely as for invited guests. Ten gallons
of milk and twenty pounds of oatmeal
are fed to the dogs daily, to say nothing
of the great quantities of oysters and
eggs. When the dogs are sick they re-
ceive the most considerate attention, and
at no time are they subjected to scolding
or punishment of any kind.
The result of this experiment has been
watched by many with the greatest in
terest, and there are some developments
that woAd have made Darwin dance with
joy. There is one fine old st. Bernard,
the arstocrat of the colony, who will not
touch his oyster soup unless it is just so,
and who will not eat out of anything of
a lower grade than cut glass. He will
go thirsty for a whole day rather than
take drink from a bucket or pan, but
will go into transport of tail-wagging
ecstacy over water or milk in china
or cut-glass dish.-Iater- ocean.

A painting of the Lords Supper made

The name of Agate is derived from
the river Achates, in Sicily, near which
these stones were found in abundance by
the ancients. They are now found in
Scotland Saxony, and Hungary and are
also brought from China and the East
Indies.
The thimble was originally called
thumb BELL" because it was worn on
the thumb, as sailors still wear their
thimbles. Though first made in Eng
land, in 1896, thimbles appear to have
were found at Herculaneum.
From the army and navy diet scales of
France and England, which, OF course,
are based upon the recognized necessities
of large numbers of men in active life, it
is inferred that about two and one-fourth
pounds avoirdupois of dry food per day
are required for each individual. OF
this amount three-fourths are vegetable
and the rest animal At the close of an
entire year the amount is upward of 500
pounds.
The Norwegian shoe, or skee runner,
is used in Colorado for long journeys
over CLASSY snow, or when going up or
down steep mountain. Every one has
pair of those ungainly shoes-men,
women and children. Those who have
mastered the art of snowshoeing can go
very rapidly on them. There is a Nor
wegian there who is willing to wager
that he can travel fifty miles across the
country in ten hours, but that is much
faster than the majority of skee runners.
In this country city is municipality,
having a local government and mayor
as an executive; a town is municipality
comprising one or more villages In
England, however, city is usually o
corporate town, which is bishops see,
and has cathedral church; town is an
assemblage of houses, usually having a
market or a subdivision of county. In
early times the word town was applied
only to such a collection of buildings as
was surrounded by wall. A village is
the same in England as in this country.
The larvae of butterflies and moths
are called caterpillars; those of beetles,
grubs; those of'1ies, maggots, and those
of mosquitoes, wigglers. The term
larva, pupa and image are relative only.
While the grub and caterpillar are quite
different from the pupa, the bee state is
reached by very gradual change of
form, so that it is difficult to say where
the pupa ends and the image ends. In
fact, a large number of insects reach ma,
turity through an indefinite number of
slight changes. The humble bee molts
at least ten times before arriving at the
winged state.

HOPES sONo.

The golden dreams Of youth
Assume a guise of truth
Which age keeps never,
For Hopes voice singeth ever.
ooh, youth and strong endeavor,
Can win the highest good forever"
Loves subtle intuition
Divines life's glad fruition,
Distrusting never;
And sweetly Hope sings ever
"True love and sweet endeavor
Shall hold the highest good forever.
Loves sacred tryst is broken,
Heartbreal1ing words are spoken
Her bonds to sever,
But still Hope singeth ever.
'Brave heart and strong endeavor
Must find the highest good forever"
Pale hands are crossed in death;
Gone is the quivering breath;
And still low voice never
Stops echoing, echoing ever,
"Brave heart and strong endeavor
Have won the highest good forever"

How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
gold watch case, and yet few people know
how Il watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in Inequality of them. lnaSoLID
GOLD WATCH CASE aside from the neces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
a large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stiacn and hold the engraved por-
tions in place, and supply strength Tie
surplus is not only needless but undesira-
lie, because gold is 4 soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-ttting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the James Boss cold Watch Case ., ~ v.,,.
which saves the WASTE of peed- ; ,
less gold and INCREASES the soLIDiTY and
STRENGTH of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.
