Few people carry the head erect;
that is to say. perfectly balanced on
the end of the spine, like the end OF q
walking-stick. 1t is always leaned to

Missouri copper mines that have
been lille for two or three years are be-

height at nearly 10000 feet.
The hypothesis has lately been adj
vanced that if sounds do not actually
possess colors, that sound is at least in
timately connected with color; and this
idea is supported by the fact that
"there are persons who are endowed
with such sensibil;ty that they can not
hear sound without at the same time
perceiving colors."
"A noted archeologist who has been
exploring the ruins of Uxmal. Yucatan,
claims to have discovered the remains
of three dead cities, the vestige of the
first being many feet down, on the
same site. The relics indicate civiliza-
tion much superior to that of the pres
ent day, and that the city must have
fourished twenty thousand years ago.
Prof. Sachs, the great German bot
anist, has discovered that the ultra vio-

is exceedingly feeble when the rays are
suppressed. although that OF the other
parts of the plant is very luxuriant..-
Public Opinion.
Are shooting-stars ever the cause
. of mysterious fires? This question is
suggested by Mons. Charles V. Zenger,
of the Paris Academy of Sciences. who
/ thinks that forests, and even buildings,
/ may have been set on fire by burning
meteors Investigation shows that
many fires, the origin of which could
not be explained, have occurred at the
seasons of periodical showers of shoot
ing-stars.
-Starfsh have done great damage
this year to the oyster-beds of Fair Ha-
ven, Conn. Some entire beds. valued
at $40, 900 each, have been destroyed,
and it is estimated that 100000 worth
of damage has been done. To meet the
undoubted demand for something to
destroy the starfsh, Yankee has in
vented dredge which takes the star
fish and leaves the oysters, and several
owners of beds are using it.

French-Speaking Statesmen.

Many of the leading statesmen are
good French scholars. Edmunds reads
French easily. Hoar has many French
books in his library. Allen G. Thur
mans amusements lie in the reading
of French novels, and John Sherman's
library is full of foreign books OF
finance, and he reads the French,
though he does not speak it. Thur
man learned the French at the same
time he learned to snuff. 1t was when
he was a boy. A French professor,
who had very pretty daughter, asked
Thurman's mother to take charge OF
the gill, and she did so on the condi-
ton that the professor would give
Young Allen French lessons. Prattling
with the maiden and taking lessons OF
the professor he got foundation in the
language which is not surpassed by
that of any of our public men. The
old professor snuffed and the boy
begged pinches of the titillating powder
between the sentences, and thus ac.
auired the habit. which has stuck tc
him through life, and which, added tC
his big nose and the gorgeous hand
kerchief which he uses to wipe it, haI
given him the title of knight OF th'
Red Bandana. Chicago Herald.

Animals as Doctors.

Animals get rid of their parasites
by using dust, mud, clay, ETC., says
the New Orleans Pjcaya1ae. Those
suffering from fever restrict their diet,
keep quiet, seek dark, airy places,
drink water, and sometimes plunge
into it. When dog has lost its appe-
tite it eats that species of grass known
as dogs grass, which acts rs an emetic
and purgative. Cats also eat grass.
Sheep and COWS, when i'll, seek out
certain herbs. An animal suffering
from chronic rheumatism always keeps
as far as possible, in the sun. The
warning ants have regular organized
ambulances.
Latreilie cut the antenna of the ant,
and other ants came and covered the
wounded part with a transparent fluid
secreted in their mouths. If CHM
panzee is wounded it stops the bleed
ing by placing its hand on the wound
or dressing it with leaves and grass.
When an animal has wounded leg or
arm hanging on it completes the am
putation by means of its teeth. A dog
on being stung on the muzzle by a
viper was observed to plunge its head
repeatedly for several days into run
ming water. This animal eventually
recovered. A terrier hurt its right eye.
1t remained under a counter, avoiding
light and heat, although it habitually
kept close to the fire. 1t adopted a
general treatment, rest and abstinence
from food. The local treatment con-
sisted in licking the upper surface of
the paw, which it applied to the
wounded eye, again licking the paw
when it became dry.
Animals suffering from traumatic
fever treat themselves by the continued
application of cold water, which NJ
Delaunay considers to be more certain
than of the other methods. In view of
these interesting facts we are, he
thinks, forced to admit that hygiene
and therapeutics as proposed by ami
mails may, in the interest of psychology,
be studied with advantage.
Many physicians have been Observ-
ers of animals, their diseases, and the
methods adopted by them, in their in
stinct, to cure themselves, and have
availed of the knowledge so brought
under their observation in their prac-
tice.

In Fancy.

Sometimes in waking dreams my footsteps go
By pleasant pathways through the LOng-ago,
Where walked on either side me \ outh
and Hope
There still leaves rustic and blue waters flow;
Stand still the purple hills beyond the bay
Still the shy eyes of biushing daisies ope
When on their dun TANKS falls the suns first
rays.
Light breath of Summer breezes come and
goes;
The gray great arch is fiecked of gold and
rose;
Now the hills brows have ta'en their glory
crown
And the day broadens and the brightness
grows.
How the light ripples on the rivers breast!
How doth it ticker IN a glad unrest
Where doubles of the laughing leaves drOD
down
In shOwered shadows settling to the West
And bird singeth on the topmost spray
Vi the great elm joyous roundelay
An, the brown throstle of the silver motel
he leads the choir that answers full and gay.
Amid the meadow-grasses lush and sweet
Gleam green the printings of the fairies feet;
High overhead the feathry clOudlets float,
While their light shadows DER the clover feet.
In the old orchard at the close Of day
comes cool wind and blows long grass to
gray,
And the gnarled branches stretching over
head
Show stars for flowers on each darkling spray;
And broad moon floats upward silently
a silver shallop on a purple sea,
Tracking the way the charmed footsteps
Where the far-shinfng meads of Mem'ry be-

He Didn't Keep no Yeggs.

One Of the young men of the New
South, who has spent some time in New
York, is c. B. Duncan, of Nashville
He is the oldest son of w. NJ Duncan,
one of the leading men o. Tennessee's
capital. Charley" Duncan is an ener-
getic young fellow, who, although a
little past his majority, has already be-
gan to push his way in the world. He
is cashier of a bank at Nashville. His
first banking experience, however, was
in the mountains of East Tennessee, as
cashier of the only bank at South Pitts
burg. This is one of the new iron
towns that are springing up all over
Tennessee and Alabama. It was pro-
iected by the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company, which owns the large fur
naces there and most Of the land. In
talking about his experiences to a New
York Tribune reporter, Mr.. Duncan
said. THE natives of the section had
never so much as heard of "a bank. They
did not know what bank was for IN
til 1t had been explained to them that
it was a place to keep their money,
and then L fancy some of the rougher
ones thought it was a good place to
make a haul from by putting a bullet
through the cashier and running away
with the money. For a long time Ihad
to sleep iii it every night with couple
OF loaded revolvers ready for execution
and my hair in aWire spring condition.
Finally [ persuaded an old haIf-breed
Indian to watch for me. He was a man
who did not know what fear was and
would as soon shoot as take a drink.
The money that they used to bring in
to the bank was a curiosity. There
were greenbacks of the very tirstissues,
which had been hidden way in old
places until the stuff fairly stank.
Sometimes it smelled so foul that Ihad
to open the window before | could
count it and then it was as much as
I could do to stand it.
One Of Mr.. Duncan's odd experiences
was with man who wanted to buy
eggs. There had been for time
grocery store in the same building
with the bank. One day a country
man came in who had been drinking
until he had scarcely any sense left in
him. He was a lank mountaineer,
with top boots and spurs, and the butt
end of revolver peerin@ out over his
hip. 81 want some yeggs," he said.
I'VE don't keep any eggs, sir?" was
the young cashiers reply. Eyes you
do, / got yeggs yeah befoah, and I
want yeggs now" The cashier now ex-
planned that he was not selling eggs,
but it made no impression on the
drunken man, who reiterated his de-
mand more strenuously than before, en-
forcing it with oaths and movement
of his hand to his hip pocket, where
the revolver rested. Young Duncan
meanwhile had been slowly moving to
a spot on his desk where his own weapon
lay ready cooked for action. He sud
denly leveled the pistol at the mount
aineer's head and coolly said: IF you
touch your pistol you are dead man.
[ don't keep eggs, and if you don't
clear out I'll shoot you sure" This
was the kind of an argument that
had some effect. The drunken man
was sober in an instant, and, looking
down the mouth of the revolver, he
replied meekly: "All right boss. No
offenSe meant [ reckon. l thought
you kept yeggs. Good-day."

WISCONSIN CENTRAL LINE. From
a comparatively unknown factor in the
commercial world, it has been trans
formed to an independent, influential,

careful catering to details, it has WOE
for itself a reputation for solidity, safety,
convenience and attention to its pat
rons, second to no railroad in the
country. Pullman sleepers, models of
palatial comfort, dining cars in which
the cuisine and general appointments
are up to the highest standard, and
coaches especially built for this route,
are among the chief elements which
have contributed towards catering sue
cessfully to a discriminating public.

and cloud of dust as the shell of mud
and tiles falls upon the fimsy dwell

roof drops quite as easily. The ordi-

if there is a second story it IS quite
