Some very interesting observations
have lately been made by n physician
to the German dispensary, Now York.
He selected for the purpose of study a
number ofartifcially nouriShed infants,
and fed them after the various popular
methods. Between ono and two hours
after they had taken food he introduced
a stomach tube, and drew out sufficient
of the contents OF that organ for analy-
sis. IN that way he was able to mako
correct estimates Of the value of the
different foods. The conclusions de-
rived from these Investigations, of great
interest to parents, ARE: ID Infants
deprived of human breast milk should

The Fish and Jonah.

Professor True of the National
museum at Washington, in an article
on the habits and natural history of
the whale, undertakes to demolish the
Biblical story of the swallowing of
Jonah by saying that the throat of the
largest whale is only three and half
inches in diameter. JONAH" he
says, twas very small man if he
made the round trip through a whales
throat" If the learned professor will
glance at the book of Jonah he will
find that there is no mention OF a
whale in connection with that remark
able marine adventure. All we are
told about the animal is that it was "a
great fish,
''Now the Lord had prepared great
fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah
was in the belly of the fish three days
and three nights"
The whale was not wholly unknown
to the Old Testament historians, for it
is mentioned by them more than once.
Then, again, as Professor True himself
points out, it is fallacy to speak of
the whale as fish. The whale is an
animal, with none OF the characters
tics of fish except that it lives in the
water"

Thought 1t Was Meant for Him.

just before the train going east left
Buffalo heavy-set red-headed man
with grip-sack, got into a dispute
with an engineer at the door of the bag
gage-room. / did not hear the first of
it, says q Detroit Free Press writer, but
did hear the fat man say:
'.If it wasn't right here I'd lick you!"
II wish you'd try itr' replied the
other.
..Tll try it soon enough! I'm going
to lay for you, old fellow!"
.And I'll lay for you! Mind, now,
what l tell you! I'll do you up before
you are many years older!"
The train started and rushed along
for fifty or sixty miles, and then some
thing gave way on the engine and we
came to stop. 1t was II o'clock at
night, and the brakeman who ran back
fell into a ditch and broke his leg and
lantern at the same moment Ten
minutes later an accommodation train
came booming down upon us. Its
engineer cav the train in time to slow
up, but the locomotive struck the last
car with force enough to fling it off
the rails and turn it across the track.
One of the first passengers to get out
was the red-headed man, and one of
the first men he saw was the engineer
whom he had quarreled with. Tb'y

The Course of Storms.

Benjamin Franklin was the first to
discover that storms in this country
travel from west TO east He was in
terested in observing an eclipse, and
found that while the observations were
spoiled in Philadelphia by a rain
storm that came on just at the begin
ming OF the eclipse. the sky was clear
at Boston until after the eclipse was
over. By communicating with inter-
towns. he learned that the storm trav-
eled eastward at uniform rate. Sim
ultaneous observations taken in all
parts of the country show that nearly
all great storms follow the same gen.
eral direcsion-from the west to the
east The same is true of cold and
hot waves. Therefore, to tell what
the weather will be in advance, we
have only to find out the conditions
prevailing west of us. This is practi-
cally the course pursued by the signal
service.

Napoleon at st. Helena.

There is a genius that is selfish. It
is we'll pictured by Napoleon on the
rock at St Helena. The world sen.
fenced him to be out of the fellowship
of mankind. He could stand as we
see him In pictures on a gray rock
under a gray sky, looking out on the
ocean, his hands not folded in prayer
to God nor extended to any mortal,
but folded behind his back. and on his
face the downward look. That is the
punishment OF Cain when he said:
"My punishment is greater than can
bear" He was not sentenced to die.
de was simply sentenced to be for
syer out OF human fellowship, to be no
more called "a comrade" among men.

Adventure With a Leonard.

1t may or may not be mistaken
theory that the human eye has great
power over wild beasts, but it seems,
from the following anecdote, that one
can trust something to the human
voice. A word to the unwise is some
times sufficient Two Englishmen.
one of them the author of :The Land
of the Dragon" were one day wander
ing about a wild region in China.
One of them carried only walking
stick, and the other a light pickaxe
for cracking stones and uprooting
ferns.
AS we were rambling quietly along
dry ravine magnificent leopard
suddenly sprang out of a bush about
20 yards before us. For about min
ute. which appeared nearly an hour,
we stood perfectly still, looking fxedly
at him, and he did precisely the same
thing to us.
i, With a rifle could have lodged a
| ball anywhere within quarter of
an inch there could not have been an
easie, shot. EEery moment expect
ed 90 see him charge. down upon us,
and l wondered what ercet my small
pickaxe would have when 1 aassed
the hammer end in the center OF his
forehead that is to say. provided l
was not first knocked over and done
for.
He appeared to grow angry with us
for our continued gaze, and began to
lash his sides with his beautiful tail,
giving not so much as an angry growl;
his eyes glistened and seemed to start
from his head. Two more growls, and
then slight movement
''Now," thought 1, che is coming,
and one of us has got to die"
At that moment my companion
opened his mouth, and, with the full
power of his lungs, gave "Yoicks I"
that echoed from rock to rock, up and
down the glen. did not think such a
Cry could have come from any mans
throat, nor do think he could pro-
duce another like it, so piercing, so
powerful, so full of resonance, unless
another leopard should suddenly APP
pear before him.
The effect it had upon our visitor
was astounding it appeared to take
all the life and fire out of him. He
seemed completely cowed. HIS tail
dropped at once, and, with another
parting growl, he turned to retreat.
He retired for dozen yards or so, and
then turned for another look at us,
but a second .'Yoicks p settled him.
He started off at trot aud was gone.

The Union Pacific Railway, having COM
pleted Its line to Spokane Falls, Washington
Territory, is running its trains direct to that
point, thus forming the most desirable route
from the east on account of its Pullman Pal
ace sleeping cars, Pullman dining cars, and
Free Pullman Colonist Sleepers.
spokane Fails is situated in the Palouse
country and is the distributing center for a
section of the northwest, the resources Of
which are unlimited. AS an illustration:
81, 600 bushels of wheat have been raised on
1000 acres of land. Another feature of the
country greatly conducive to the raising of
crops, is the rainless harvests, no rain falling
while crops are being harvested.
Many desirable farms may yet be had in
this remarkably productive region on reason
able terms, and a more favorable opportu-
nifty for procuring farm cheap will not soon
present itself again.

or Tor rates, time tables or maps pertaining to
the Union Pacific railway, apply to your near

advantage mountain resorts of high
attitudes, and low atmospheric pres

and more asthmatics who find benefit
in an atmosphere of more than ordinary
density. Sucn can be found in a few
