The idea in bringing out the rhinoceros
was to get something that no other
country could beat for ugliness, says the
Detroit Free Press" While there are
several other brands of the beast, all put
up in different packages with different
labels, all amount to the same thing
when you cut tho string and unite the
bundle. While the giraffe is two stories
high with a hip roof, the rhinoeeros
stopped short at the basement and has
never been finished up. To reward him
for not being quite as homely as the hip
popotamus, he was given hide so thick
that grape shot would only tickle him,
and as an Offset for not having a mouth
as large as an alligator he was given a
temper as hot as wild cats and hornets
boiled down together.
The rhinoceros was not expected to
cut anything of dash in this world. He
was given to understand that if he took
care of his appetite and made it un-
pleasant for every living thing which
came within mile of him, nothing
further would be expected of him. So
far as man has been able to discover, the
beast never cracks smile nor makes a
Joke, and nothing ever steps on his coat
tails and gets away alive. The legend
in regard to him Is that he puts in the
hours between daylight and sunrise
grieving because he wasn't turtle dove,
but legends are not to be depended on.

GIadstone,s CourtshIp.

Mr.. Gladstone had been acquainted
with his future wife five years before
they were married. Their first meeting
took place in 1894, at the house in Tilney
street. Park lane, of Mr.. Mines Gaskell,
who was an intimate friend of Mr.. Glad
stone at Eton and Oxford Mr.. Gladstone
and Miss Glynne met again at the Han
del commemoration at Westminster Alb
bey in the autumn of the same year, and
for third time at Hawarden castle, to
which he paid a visit in 1885.
The seal to their engagement was set,
however, at Rome in 1888, under circum-
stances alluded to by Mr.. Gladstone in
his "Chapter of Autobiography" pub
hshed thirty years later. "The book, "
ne says, "entitled The State in Its Re-
lation with the Church, was printed DUR
ing tour of the south Of France, which
tho state of my eyesight had rendered it
prudent to undertake."
During that time he again fell in
with Lady Glynne aid her two daugh-
ters, who passed the winter in Rome.
Lady Glynne's health, always delicate,
made it necessary that she should seek II
milder climate, and it has often been
stated that visit paid in company with
many other friends by Mr.. Gladstone and
Miss Catherine Glynne to the moonlit

those immortalized by Lord Byron in

Indian superstitIons.

A curious light is thrown on the rural
life of Bengal by the contents of paper
reprinted lately in the annual report of
the Bombay Anthropologlcal society.
From this paper we are told the follow

name of the king of birds (GarudaJ drives
away snakes. Shouting ram, ram,
drives away ghosts Cholera that at
tacks on Monday or Saturday ends
fatally, but not cholera that attacks on
Thursday. The Towering OF bamboos
augurs famine. In tanning, II the fan
strikes the body 1t should be thrice
knocked against the ground.
When giving aims the giver and re-
eeiver should not be standing on differ
ent sides Of the threshold. 1t is bad to
pick ones teeth with ones nails. If a
snake is killed it should be burned, for
it is a brahman. At night the words
rsnake" and "tiger" should not be used !;
rall them creepers and insects. Do not
wake up a sleeping physician. A morn

ton without headgear Is wrong. Iron

To Jerusalem to Escape Chatting.

A man must be troubled with a very
sensitive nature who, in order to escape
from the jokes and witticisms of which
he is the object on the part of his ac-
quaintances, puts between himself and
them tho distance of such long jour
ney as that from France to Jerusalem.
This, however, is what French printer,
employed at Versailles, did, whose name,
a little less than year ago, was in al
most every French paper as that of a
fortunate individual who had been left
25,000,000 francs by bachelor uncle,
who many years ago, had gone to
America, and had made his fortune
there.
Suddenly the alleged heir to this large
fortune, the printer Alamacher, disap-
peared, and people asked what had be-
come Of him and where he had gone.
Some coniectured that his good fortune
had turned his head; others limited at
possible murder. But neither the one
guess nor the other was right. The
missing man has just turned up again at
Marseilles, his statement being that the
heritage existed only in the too lively
Imagination of some of his fellow COM
positors, and that he was SO veXed and
worried at becoming their laughing stock
that he left his country for Jerusalem,
where he lived in peace until recently,
when he returned to Marseilles.- Lon

It is well known that dictamnus
fraxinella at the close of u dry sunny day
are surrounded by a gas which is inilam-
mable, and will ignite with a sudden
flash of flame when a lighted match is
applied to them. Certain plants, and
very notably the rutace@ and labial@,
secrete various products, such as essen
tlal oils, resins, gums, balsams, etc.
When one of the glands containing the
active secretion was examined with a
microscope on a hot day it was empty,
its contents having been drawn out by
the heat through the cells of the epider-
mis-, o: through the air that terminates
the gland. 1t must be understood that
the surrounding air has to be pretty
strongly impregnated with the gas Of
the volatilized resin in order to take fire
when lighted match is applied it. This
experiment has also been carried out in
France by placing pot plant of a
graxnella in bloom under bellglass and
leaving it there for some time, when the
air in the bell-glass was found to be 80
highly charged with the resinous gas
That it ignited the moment lighted
match was applied to 1t, and, itmay be

Two-Pound Haiistones.

An extraordinary phenomenon Oc-
cured few days ago at Yillafranca, in
Piedmont, writes the Paris correspondent
of the London Telegraph. The peasants
were engaged in the fields in taking in
the harvest, when suddenly o dull, rolling
sound was heard and the sky became as
black as ink.
There was no thunder or lightning, but
n few haiIstones Of enormous size fell,
some penetrating into the ground and
others rebouuding TO distance of sew
eral yards. This preliminary shower
ceased for some minutes, during which
the peasants crept under the carts and
hayricks in their neighborhood.
Some, however, were unable to find
any shelter, and when the storm was
over they were in pitiable condition,
with tho blood flowing from their numer-
Gus wounds,
A boy OF Is and a girl Of II had their
skulls fractured, and expired few hours
arterward. More than hundred persons
were badly hurt.
The weight Of some OF these monster
hallstones is estimated in the reports at
two pounds. The crops haye been to-
tally destroyed many OF the trees have
been wrecked, and the roofs Of houses
and cottages considerably damaged.

Hnny Russians Ent.

The Russian eats on an average once
every two hours. The climate and GUS
tom require such frequent meals, the di-
gestion of which is aided by frequent
draughts of vodkl and tea. Vodki is the
Russian whisky, made from potatoes and
rye. 1t is fiery and colorless, and is
generally favored with some extract like
vanilla or orange. 1t is drunk from
small cups that hold perhaps half gill.
Vodlzi and tea are the inseparable accom-
paniments of friendly as we'll as business

Russia and Sweden arc the only coun-

you are at once invited to a side table,
where salted meats, pickeled eel, salted
cucumbers, and many other spicy and
appetizing viands are urged upon you
with an impressiveness that knows no
refusal. This repast is washed down
with frequent cups of vodki. That over,
