SELECT SIFTINGS.

Thirty.six persons died in London last
| year from starvation.
The Emperor Domitian occupied his
leisure in catching flies.
The principle of the stercoscope was
known to Euclid, described by Galcn
1900 years ago, and more fully in 1899
4. D., in the works of Baptist Porta.
Columbus found the cotton plant wild
in Hispaniola, in other West India islands
and on the continent of South America,
where natives used it for dressing and
fishing nets.
In days gone by neither sowing, plant
ing nor grating was ever undertaken
without a sc%rupulous attention to the in
crease or waning Of the moon. 1t was
thought that the increase Of the moon
made plants fruitful, and that under the
full moon they were IN their best
strength.
General Washington was very proud
of his coach horses, and had them care
fully groomcd. Before using them on
special occasions be had their teeth
picked and washed and their ho'fs
polished and vanished. The shoes were
solid silver.
Before the reign of King Alfred,
slaves could own nothing in England;
under his legislation they were permitted
to dispose by will of what what was
given them, or what they could earn in
their free hours. lie forbade, also, any
masters who had incurred a fine or
amend from buying off by the sale oil
man as well as beast.
Much mystery was in bygonc days
thought to hang over the origin oil
pearls, and, according to the poetic
o%ricntals, EVERY year on the sixteenth
day of the month of Nisan, the pearl
oysters rise to the surface of the sea and
open their shells, in order to receive the
rain which fall at that time, and the
drops thus become pearls"
During the reign of Catherine II. OF
Russia, Palatin, Il peasant, made a musl-
cal repeating watch, about the size Of
an egg, which had within it a representa-
ton of Christ's tomb, with sentinels on
guard. On pressing q spring the stone
would be rolled from the tomb, the
angel appear, the holy women enter the
sepulchre and the same chant which is
sung in the Greek church at Easter eve
accurately performed.
4 queer way of employing ants is re.
ported by an English gentleman who
has been travelling through one of the
provinces of China. 1t appears that, in
many parts of the province of Canton,
the orange trees arc infested by worms;
and to rid themselves of these pests the
natives bring ants into the orangcrics
from ncighboring hills. The ants are
trapped by holding the mouth of a lard
bladder to their nests. They arc then
placed among the branches Of the orange
trees, where they form colonies, and
bamboo rods arc laid from tree to tree to
enable the ants to move throughout the
'or1nrprv

CrusOe's Island To- Day.

Opposite the harbor of Valparaiso
stands the island of Juan Fernandez,
sacred to the memory of Robinson
Crusoe land his man Friday, who kept
things tidy and listened to the tales his
master told" There isn't a boy where
the English tongue IS spoken who hasn't
read a description of this island better
told than l am able to give it, and it is
only necessary to say that Daniel Dcfoc,
or whoever wrote the book, must have
studied the place with great attention or
had the island created to suit the picture
he gave OF it.
The little harbor is there, with its
rocks and covcs, justas it was when Rob-
inson went ashore; the cave is IN good
order still, and the cliffs mp which he
and Friday used to chase the mountain
goats. The goats arc there and the arma-
dilIoS, the birds of wonderful plumagc,
and 1he crawtish among the rocks. Ever"
boy in the United States who has read
the story recently could go all over the
place without a guide and could find
everything except Robinson himself and
the faithful Friday.
The island belongs 10 Chilli and is
leased to Il cattle company, who have
20, 900 or go 900 head of cattle and as
many more sheep grazing over the hills.
There arc about fifty or sixty inhabitants,
ranchmen with their families, under
charge of a Frcnchmau named Crave,
and beside the stock they raise a guam
tity of poultry and ship chickens and
eggs, with some vegetables to the VAL
~paraiso market. The timber on the
island is said to be of an excellent quality,
but is not much used. No one eve goes
there without bringing away Il cane or
two as a mcmcnto, and the brush from
which these canes are made is Of very
beautiful fiber and polished we'll. Ex-
cursions 90 over frequently from Ealna'

soe's experience is much stimulated by

GraHt M n Smoker.

The general, in speaking of the popu-
lar idea that he was a lifelong smoker,
said that prior to the battle of Shiloh he
rarcly-vcry rarely smoked; and that it
had never heen a habit, much less a
pleasure. At the battle of Shiloh he
CHANGED to smoke a cigar while riding
over the field, and the newspaper CORE
spondcnts, Selling upon the incident,
described it graphically in their accounts
of the battle to the papers in the North.
The idea of q victorious commander of a
great army, in the midst of frightful
scenes of carnage and destruction, sur
rounded by the dangers of battle, with il
nations life hanging on the result, look
ing on calmly and serenely, complaccntly
smoking q cigar, when most men would
be overcome with excitement, if not
nervousness, was something that appealed
irrcsistibly to popular admiration. Grants
admirers and friends, reading the &C
counts of the battle, supposed him to be
a great smoker, and almost delugcd him
with cigars. Every express brought
boxes Of cigars as presents from his
Northern friends. As the general said:
''There were always two or three boxes
on the table in my tent or headquarters
free for the use of my staff and visitors.
Having them always at hand, it was but
natural that I should every little while
take a fresh cigar, and in that way the
habit grew upon me so that it became If
resistiblc, and the people no doubt arc
right in calling ME an invetcrate
smoker. ~ Cincinnati Commercial Ga.

A Famous Runner.

Fifty years ago his rcnown spread all
over Europe. This was Ernest Mcnsen.
His exploits make the pedestrian fcats
of the present day look insignificant. lie
was q runner who first came into notice
by running from Paris to Moscow, a dis
lance of 1,7G0 miles, in thirteen days
and eighteen hours. In 1886 he ran
through Central Asia from Calcutta to
Constantinoplc, bearing dispatches for
the East India company. The distance
is 5,G15 miles, and he accomplished it in
tiftv-nine days, one.third of the time
taken by the swiftest caravan. A favor
ite employment for him was the Mes
sengcr extraordinary of sovercigns. lie
ran from country to country bearing let
tiers and dispatches of the highest i'm
port, and always beat mounted couriers
when matched against them. lie never
walked, but always ran. Invariably he
took the direct route to his destination,
climbing mountains, swimming rivers,
and guiding himself through forests in
a way known only to himself. Ills food
was a small quantity of biscuit and rasp-
berry syrup. His rests he took twice in
twenty.four hours. when he usually
leaned against some support, covered
his face with a handkerchief and slept.
If he was compelled to remain quiet any
length of time he complained of giddi-
ness and rush of blood to the head. In
1912 he was employed to discover the
source of the Nile. Starting from Sill.
esia in May, 1913, he ran to Jerusalem,
thence to Cairo, and up the banks of
the Nile into Egypt. Just outside the
village of Lyang he was seen to stop and
rest. leaning against a palm tree. his
face covered as was his wont. lie rested
so long that som persons tried to wake
MIN. They tried in vain, for he was
dead

English critic demands. Where are the

they arc everywhere and their name is

Cookery in China.

Our kitchen certainly is not so cosy
and neat as American kitchens usually
are. The smoke goes out through the
skylight and wherever it finds an outlet.
The walls are black with the accumula-
ton of years of SCOT. That large stove
in the corner is built of brick. On the
top of this stove is a large round iron
spider about three feet in diameter. In
this rice is cooking. Straw, being
cheaper, is burnt in this stove instead of
wood, and some one is required to feed
the fire constantly. Turning to the left
we see little clay stoves, on which food
is frying in spiders or boiling in earthcn
pots over o wood fire. Vegetables are
cut into bits and boiled with pork or
mutton, making a soup. Greens are
boiling. Fish is steaming, frying or
stewing, with or without vegetables.
Meat is cut fine; when tho spider be-
comes heated lard is put in it, then
pieces of onion, then the shred meat, and
all is stirred till we'll embrowned; then
turnips, potatoes, and sometimes other
vegetables are added, and after boiling
water is poured in the whole is left to
simmer AMI stew. All food, we observe,
is cut in pieces before being cooked, or
else before serving, for no knives, no
forks, are used. At ten \. NJ. the tables
are set: those for men either in the
wings or in their rooms, and those for
the women in their common sitting-room
or parlor. Each table will seat eight
persons. No table linen is used. Chop
sticks and spoons are laid before each
place. The food is brought In large
bowls or plates. Rice is carried to the
table in wooden pail or wicker basket,
from which it is served in small bowls.
The servants summon the inmates to
breakfast. The younger ones do not
presume t. sit til their elders are seated /;
then, after making a show of asking
permission to eat, when the elders
gravcly nod assent, the breakfast begins.
Soup is taken first; then each person,
holding the chopsticks in the right hand
and the bowl of rice in tine left, lifts his
food to his mouth and pushes the Jumps
in with the sticks, alternating this mo-
ton with picking meat, fish or vegeta-
bles from the dishes common to all.
One must take only from that side OF the
plate which is nearest to him, however;
it is o breach of etiquette to reach over
to the opposite side. When one finishes
he bids the rest ''eat leisurely," which
is our mode of saying 'excuse me-" The
Chinese invariably wash their hands
and faces after every meal. Tea is
drank about the same time. 1t is taken
without milk or sugar. Coffee is not
common in China, and WI are not &C
customcd to drink cold water. Tea is
the national beverage, and is
taken to assuage thirst at all times and
occasions, as water is in America. At
noon q lunch of cakes or pastry may be
served. The majority of people are sat-
isfed with two meals q day. Supper or
dinner is served at 5 p. M.-Yan Phos

HnInlasa Hmm a FrIendI ess Sea!

Who. in taking passage in a great trans
Atlantic steamer, does not feel a thrill OF e1-
ultation over her magnificent power. Against
her the Storm King may hurl his elemental
forces, nor pierce her armor, nor stop her
onward course.
But let ME describe a scene when. one
morning in mid-ocean, there came an alarm
from the pilot house followed by a cry: The
ships rudder is lost" From the confident
expression, CONSERVATION came to every face.
The wheelman being helpless to direct her
course, the vessel was at the mercy OF win
and wave.
The captain had been negligent--the hang
in1s of the rudder were allowed to wear
weak, and suddenly it had dropped deep
into the sea
