The OWNING Rod.

Professor E. Ray Lakester, having
recently expressed some doubts upon
the alleged powers of a boy water.
finder" who has been in the employ of
the Grinton Mining Company, in the
North of England, the Chairman of the
company. DR.. Mcclure. has replied to
them, denying cmphatically that the
boy, whose name is Rowell, is an inn
poster. He says that the lad when
tested never failed to either find water
or mineral veins, the lodes having al
ways been found exactly at the places
indicated. The divining rod which he
holds only moves in obedience to the
muscula lar contractions of his hands, and
rod OF any kind of wood or even Of
any material substance whatever can
be used, provided it be conductor
of electricity. Rowcll usually walks
with his hands tightly clasped before
him, and as soon as he steps upon a
mineral vein or water he is powcrless
to unclasp them until he moves away
from the region Of the lode or conduit.
The lad is about IA Years OF age.

woman's Dangerous Rival.

Why is it that the books in the house
usually belong to the men? says the
Cleveland Press. Married women sell
dom accumulate them, but speak OF
the room used for reading and writing
as my husbands library" And,
verify, it is his. The other rooms in the
house the husband and wife enjoy in
common, but in this the wife abdicates
all right-eNcept the right to keep it in
order. Perhaps there is shelf in
some corner where she has tucked
away row of school boolSs-a French
grammar, a botany, universal history
relics OF her seminary days.
These she dusts carefully and touches
caressingly as she passes. opens one
perhaps to the page where the four
leaved clover is pinned. She was &C
counted intellectual in that day. Blu
where are the books she then planned
to read-the novclists who were 1t
amnsa, the poets who were to sootha
the philosophers who We're to help hel
to live nobly, the scientists who were
to assist her to apply classified knowl
edge" to everyday affairs? They arc
not here, and she sighs as she proceeds
with the busting.
Women have many temptations tt
spend their small change-not for to
bacco or at the bar, but for bits o
bric-a-brac, tritles for personal adorn
ment, embroidery silks, and tabl,
delicacies. Some women may shol

What a Close Shave Means.

Do you know what close shave
means? 1 never did until / looked the
other day through microscope at a
face which had been treated to this
luxurious process. Why, the entire
skin resemblcd piece of raw beef.
10 make the face perfectly smooth re-
quires not only the removal of the hair,
but also portion of the cuticle, and a
close shave means the removal OF a
LAYER of skin all around. The blood
vessels thus exposed are not visible to
the eye, but under the microscope each
little quivering mouth holding min
ute blood drop protests against such
treatment. The nerve tips are also un-
covered. and the pores are left unpro-
tected, which makes the skin tender
and unhealthy. This sudden exposure
OF the inner layer of the skin renders a
person liable to have colds, hoarseness
and sore throat.-MeGicaL Classics.

The Mountain Sphinx.


In Surrey county, North Carolina,
there is a remarkable natural curiosity
in the shape of Il mountain resembling
the famous sphinx of Egypt in all its de-
tails. 1t lies east OF the Blue Ridge
Mountains on the Piedmont Plains,
like a gigantic lion, its body at righ.
angle to the ridge and with head
reared aloft as if in the act Of rising.
The head is of solid rock, several hun
dred feet in height. The shoulders and
breast are finely proportional, and at
the distance of Il few miles it looks like
a thing OF life and intelligence. II
rises about 1000 feet above the plain
and can be seen for distance OF fifty
miles.

they buy books for gifts. To such all
books are alike. They care not fol-
differences in quality OF paper OF size
of print, and so lons as the binding is
pretty no matter if it be not durable.
The experience of buying a book to
read would be quite novel with many
women.
The libraries of the city furnish
them with enough for their leisure hours.
Were they willing to sacrifice some of
the luxuries which they have to con-
slider necessities the extra gloves, the
quaint teapot, the expensive dessert
and put the price into books they could
shortly accumulate a library of fine
quality if not generous size. Surely
one may be as proud of classic poem
as of an ugly Chinese jar.
