Cooking Eggs ON Hot sidewalks.
Two treasury clerks were looking out
Of a window OF the north front of the
building in Washington upon tbs
smooth pavement that, unprotected
from the sun, becomes hot enough TO al
most blister your feet through the soles
OF your shoes.
"That pavement is hot enough to fry
eggs" said one clerk.
"Bosh," said the other.
II bet you that il is"
A few minutes later, when lunch hour
arrived, the two men stood out on the
pavement. where the temperature over
head was about l05. One Of them had
an egg in his hand. Holding it close to
the pavement he clipped it open with a
knife, and let the contents fall upon the
heated fiagstone. There was little sig.
zle, and the albumen began to grow
white and hard.
What did tell your" said the tri-
amphant clerk, and then the two men
went and cooled themselves. Washing

A TURKISH TALE.

sah Merv, the beggar and philosopher,
In talk with Brain. at ease beneath the arch,
STOPPING TO pick kopeck to him thrown,
Found bleeding In the dust beside the coin
A ruby ring worth half princes realm.
And while the beggar group With eager greed
Pressed round him crying; "Ah, our good Sci
Serv!
Allah be praised none ever shall beg moreT'
The sultans daughter, proud In silk and peariA
Herself moro lovely than the houri's queen,
Enyiei by all who envy, passed the gate,
And Brain, bold cynfc, with rare irony,
AZ who would say. so much for charity"
Fiippcd In her lap the sequlr OF bright gold,
Which he by luck had found some twelve MONTH
since.
But wise Sab Merry, with rarer sapiency,
Threw on the satin blnck. beside the coin,
The ruby ring worth half princes realm,
And turned to crunch crust kopeck bought.
Fool, fool, A fool and madmani" cried they al
Mot NO." thought she 10 whom the fortune fell

Treatment of piies.

SO called remedies for piles are with
out number. The complaint often lasts
for years without affecting the general
health. and on the other hand constant
irritation and bleeding may at once
affect the entire system. Keep the bow
els regular, relying upon fruit and grain
diet. Avoid tobacco, condiments, liquor,
etc. For bleeding wash or injection
of taunin is recommended-one ounce to
half pint of water. Amy good anti
septic ointment may be tried, to be ap-
piled with a suppository syringe. In
fammation is remedied by frequent
bathing in cold water, rest and plain
food. Herald. of Health.

Remarkable Echoes.

There are several very remarkable echoes
in the world-at Woodstock and at the
Sicilian cathedral OF Gergenti, where the
confessions poured forth near the door to
priestly ears were heard by a man con-
cealed behind the high altar at the oppo-
site end. 1t is curious that such a spot
should have been accidentally chosen for
the confessional. The whispering gallery
in st. Paul's is another instance of the
echo.
Echoes are produced by the reflection of
sound waves from plane or even surface.
A wall, or even a cloud, viii produce
echoes Thunder il echoed from the
clouds. The hills of Killarney contain an
echo, and the bugIe sounds are beautifully
repeated. In the cases of ordinary echo,
when the speaker waits for the answer, he
must place himself opposite the rock. II
he stand at the side the echo will reply to
another person in a corresponding place on
the farther side, for the voice then strikes
the rock at an angle, and the angle of re-
Election is the same, as in the case of light
But ii il should happen that there are a
number Of rejecting surfaces the echo will
be repeated over and over again, as ut the
lakes Of Killarney. The Woodstock echo,
already referred to, and mentioned by sew
eral writers, repeats seventeen syllables by
day and twenty by night la SIMPLIFY there
is even greater repetition. Whispering
galleries carry sound by means of the
curved surface. Sir John Herschel mem
tions an echo in the Meuai suspension
bridge. The blow of hammer on one Of
the main piers will produce the sound
from each of the crossbeams supporting
the roadway and from the opposite pier

According To a recent calculation the
highest waterfalls IN the world are the
three Krimbs falls in the Upper Prinzgau.
These falls have total height of LAS feet
The three falls next in height are found in
Scandinavia-the Verne Foss. in Romsdal,
1854 feet; the Nettis Foss, OF the Sogne
ford, SSS feet; the Riuken Foss, in Thelc-
marker, sos feet. With decrease in
height of 2l3 feet the three Nelino falls,
59l feet, near Zerni (the birthplace Of Taci-
tus), follow next in order, ami they are
succeeded by the three Tessa falls, in the
Val FormaEza, 54l feet. The Gastein falls,
in the GaStein valley, 469 feet, rank be-
tween the Skjaggedal Foss. in the Har-
danger ford, s24 feet, and the Boring
FoSs, in the same ford. If the width Of
the falls is taken into consideration, the
most imposing are those of the Victoria
falls Of the Zambesi. which are 1914 feet
high, with n width of 500 feet. 4 long
way behind these falls cfpne CHE NpIerR
