TIL. Literary Standard In America,

We say in all seriousness, that in this
new country, drunk with prosperity and
besotted as it is with material ideals, the
literary standard is as highas eve it was
in the world; and that the literary per-
Torrance is of an excellence which is
only not conspicuous because it is so
general. If any IL doubts it, let him
compare an average piece of fiction in
The Atlantic Monthly, or The Century,
or %Scribner's, or Harper's with an aver
age piece of fiction in Blackwood's or
Frazer's, or Tinsely's of fifty years ago.;
or an average essay in one of our period
icals with an average essay of the best
English time; or an average poem of our
day with an average poem Of the
splendid and unsurpassed literature of
the past" or an average review in the
Sunday papers with the "really capable
criticism of the heyday of English re-
viewing.-W. D. Howells in Harper's.

rhusnhurrscent roadstools

Varieties of fungi, or toadstools, as
they are popularity called, which give
out light i'll a dark place have been re-
ported from Australia and other parts of
the world. The appearance of this III
teresting growth, as seen in Brazil, is de-
scribed by an English naturalist.
One dark night, about the beginning
Of December, while passing along the
streets, l observed some boys amusing
themselves with some luminous object,
which l at first supposed to be a kind of
large FREELY, but, OF making inquiry, l
found it to bea beautiful phosphorescent
fungus, and was told that it grew abund-
antly in the neighborhood, on the decay
ing leaves of a dwarf palm. Next day l
obtained a great many specimens, and
found them to vary from one inch to two
inches and a half across.
The whole plant gives out at night a
bright, phosphorescent light, of q pale
greenish hue, similar to that emitted by
the larger fireflies, or by the curious soft
bodied marine animals. The light given
out by a few of these fungi, in a dark
room, was sufficient to read by.-Youth's

South Americas Early Progress.

The civilization Of Peru began about
the same time as that of Mexico, about
500 years prior to the landing OF Column
bus. 1t is attributed to Manic, the first
Peruvian king of the Incas line, who es-
tablislred the empire on Affirm basis. He
connected the country by a number of
straight roads, often 100 miles in extent,
and all connected with the capital.
Along these roads were placed houses
of repose and entertainment for the
kings II Agriculture received
much attention, and, or account of the
scarcity of rain prevalent in that region,
the fields were watercd by canals led in
from rivers and lakes. The people cult
waited maize, potatoes, and cotton, and
had quite al extensive commerce.
The religious character of the ancient
Peruvians is an interesting study. They
We're much more developed in this re-
spect than their southern neighbors, and
while the worship of the sun seems to
have been the religion of the people, their
priests seem to have held the higher be-
lief of a personal God, creator of the sun
and other heavenly bodies.
Human sacrifices were almost un.
known in Peru, and c%annibalism il nevel
found. Picture writing was used to a
great extent, and Il record of time was
kept by q system of knotted strings

we have still some thirty or forty of thei,
songs, which were mainly upon their af'
fections.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Deushta OF rohoxx.ninr.

You sit astride your toboggan, and
when it begins to rush down the descent
along a road US hard as iron, with the
speed of light, your first feeling is that
you would give everything you have in
the world to be anywhere but where you
are. There is, however, a wonderful
fascination about rushing through the
crisp, sharp air, taking corners cleverly
by means of guiding pegs, and sailing
down triumphantly on to the broad
bosom of the lake. So many accidents
had, however, taken place upon the lake
run that we of the awkward squad were
disposed to give it a wide berth. A snow
storm altered, however, the complexion
of affairs.
Two or three inches of snow on the
hard, slippery track made the pace less
rapid; and if, blinded by the snow and
the m~onotonous whiteness above, below
and around, you ran off the course,
az l did, you and your sledge simply
rolled over half a dozen times in the soft
snow without the inconvenience of
broken bones, much less Of q broken
neck. cannot close this letter without
abiding to the effect of this glorious
out-of-doors life upon the nerves. I am
fully persuaded that all the bromides in
the world are incomparably inferior to a
good draught of Engadine air.-Cor.

Tiger Stories.

Lady Dufferin, in her book, "Our Vice
regal Life in India" tells of a tiger which
in nine months killed twenty-three men.
The whole neigbborhood entreated an
English sportsman, who happened to be
in the vicinity, to kill the terrible man
eater. The sportsman spent twenty-four
hours in a cage, built so that the sports
man within may shoot at the tiger
through the bars, and yet be protected
from his attack. A companion joined
him after lie had been twelve hours in
the cage, and they both watched twelve
hours more. but no tiger appeared.
Then the two men went to sleep. When
they woke they found the tiger had
walked round the cage, for his footprints
were plainly to be seen through the bars.
This same sportsman hunted n day
for a tiger, in a jungle 80 thick that he
could see nothing. But he felt sure that
q tiger was close to him all the time. AT
last he made his men examine the ground,
and they found tracks which disclosed
that the tiger had been following tnclu
all day.-Youth's Companion.

day during the war, when he came upon
a member of his company sitting on the

he had fought his last fight. "Whats

Danger in Glasses.

By wearing too strong near sighted
glasses continuously the nearsightedness
may be very greatly increased and a dis
eased condition of the interior of the eye
caused. which may lead to very great
loss of sight and even total blindness.
Then, in other cases, wearing an eye.
glass may do very much harm, because
we frequently notice people with their
eyeglasses tipped at various angles. In
these cases that glass is acting as q prism,
and is not doing the work it should, but
is causing a strain upon the accommodate
ton, which may be the starting point of
along series of nervous disorders. Again,
the wearing of either eyeglasses or spec
tacles without rims may in some cases
cause very annoying andinjurious symp-
toms from the colors due to the pris-
matte action of the edge of the glass

Boys Out Of Work.


Boys have little chance to learn any
business by which they can earn their
daily bread. One trouble is that the
girls, who ought to be at home doing
homework, have taken the places of the
boys. might mention dozens of trades
where no great muscular effort is requir-
ed that are taken up by girls and which
should be held by men alone. How can
the boys secure apprenticeship when the
places are already filled by girls? While
the girls are at work the boys are idle for

In a small city in western Wisconsin
there is a small boy who lives with his
parents. One day not long ago he and
his mother were walking quietly down
street when the little fellow noticed a
number of young cattle grazing along
the edge of the sidewalk. Said he:
"Mamma, I wish Mr.. So-and-So would
keep his 'halfers' off the street." His
mother, thinking to correct his pronun-
citation, said: "Heifers, Paul, not
'halfers.'" The boy looked at her a mo-
ment and replied: "No, mamma; think
I'm right in this matter. Amt they half

Earliest Form Of Ladies, Headdres..

The earliest form of ladies' headdress
is said to have been the overchief or head
handkerchief. Then came the hood, uni
v~ersally worn during the Fourteenth
century, a revival of the Anglo.Saxon
head covering. The close fitting cap is
said to have originated in decking the
corners of the hood for the sake of CON-
fort and convenience. Chambers oh.
serves that 'the era of caps and hats is
referred to the year l449, the first seen
in these parts of the world being at the
entry of Charles VII in Rouen; from
that time they began by little and little
to take the place of hoods or ch~aperoons

A Recent Discovery About Light

Recently a wonderful discovery has
been made. A beam of sunlight is made
to pass through a prism, SO as to produce
what is called the solar spectrum, or
rainbow. The disc is turned, and the
colored light of the rainbow is made to
break through it. Now, place the ear to
a vessel containing silk, wool or other
material. AS the colored lights of the
spectrum fall upon it sounds will be
givensby different parts of the spectrum,
and there will be silence in other parts.
