the daughters are, so far rs pearls 20,
well supplied with iewelry. Thereby
hangs tale. Some years ago her
Majesty bought from a wcll-known Lon
don jcweler three very beautiful pearls,
the united cost of which was not far
Short of $500. A little while after the
purchase had been made the merchant
was surprised to receive letter from u
lady ut court which read: "The Queen
wishes very much to know whether pearls
will burn"
The reply to this somewhat tartly
scientific inquiry was an assurance that if
her Majesty wished to oxygenizc pearls
Tor her amusement she would find that
they would burn in M ordinary fire.
The rcioinder brought the secret to
light. The Queen had placed the pearls
on her writing desk, wrapped in II piece
OF tissue paper AS she was writing one
morning she used the tissue paper to
wipe her pen, and then threw it into the
lire. The pearls, all unobserved, went
with 1t. The ashes of the CRATE were
searched for them in vain. They had
been destroyed SO utterly rs to leave no
trace. The Queen, with her own hand
had cast three splendid jewels, worth
more than the average income of her
niddic-cl"ss subjects, into the Llaze.-

The Cure Of COnsumption.

The Boston H'rdM recently mentioned
the case of the iathcr of II highly re-
spected Boston physician who, ut Il some
what late stage of consumption, when so
weak rs to be hardly able to walk, took
his horse and chaisc, and with n friend rs
Il companion, journcycd from place to
place for several weeks, and returned
thoroughly cured.
What was the secret of that cure2
Clearly not medical drugs. Yet it is Just
these that the consumption generally re-
lies on almost exclusively, taking the pre-
scription daily in his cushioned chair,
until he is lifted to his bed, to wear out
the little remnant of his life
From first to last his medicines have
merely, or mainly, made him feel more
comfortable, while the disease has stead
lily progressed to the fatal end
In the case OF the wiser man mentioned
above, pure mir was the chief element of
cure; and the pure air was kept pure,
for, while his own breathing te?dcd TO
infect it, he was conatantly leaving the
infection behind him. To the consump-
tive pure air is always the first requisite,
and the main value of winter resorts is in
their allowing the patient to spend SO
large part of his time out of doors.
~ distinguished physician once said
that if he were attacked with consump-
ton, he would build IL shed to his house
and sleep in it. Thus, through the free
circulation, he would avoid the constant
rebreathing of his own infected breath.
But in the case under consideration,
the breathing of pure air was not the ONLY
advantage of the course pursued. The
mans daily travel gave him gentle en-
crcisc suited to his condition Disease
can be thrown off only by the activity OF
various lifc-processcs-digcstion, assimi-
lation, secretion, eXcretion, and the many
chemical and vital changes.
Now it is IN established fact that a
certain amount of physical exercise is cs-
sential to such activity of the vital pro-
ccsscs. In the case of the SICK, it is es-
pecially essential, since the system must
be daily Kidding itself of morbid matter,
and be making unwontcd draughts on its
recupcrative power.
In some cases 4 horses back would be
better than chaisc; but the exercise
must be suited to the particular case. 1t
must never be fatiguing.
Another element of the cure was the
change of scene. 1t is IL great help to
have the mind diverted from ones symp-
toms, and pleasantly taken up with new
surroundings, us far us possible removed
from ordinary business care and the nc
customed routine of thought
But consumption is disease which
specially demands aid in keeping up II
feeble appetite. The invalid must be
enabled to cat a liberal supply of easily
digcsted food, and the above conditions
all tend to serve him in this direction

A Cat That Can Fish.

Every day big gray cat belonging to
Hiram Frisbie, of Hobdy's, Penn, takes
her family OF five kittens-two of them
pure white, two OF thea, gray, and one
black as coal-to a log lit the edge of
the mill pond and catches fish for their
dinner. The log extends ont into the
water about four feet, where the pond is
shallow, and affords great place for
sinners and other small fish to collect.
The old cat goes to the extreme end of
the log, while the kittens group n couple
of feet back of her. The mother
crouches In her place as motionlcss rs if
she were a knot on the log. When fish
venture up near enough, which is very
often, her paw shoots down into the
water like flash, and she rarely misses
her mark. She tears to pieces the fish she
catches aud divides it among her kittens.
These are rs motionless rs their mother
while she is fishing, but the instant she
makes her strike they are all life and ex-
citcment. This old cat has been seen to
catch as many as twenty fish there at one
sitting. Oae day one of the kittens in its
excitement over n catch tumbled into the
water. Its mother fished it out, boxed
its cars soundly and drove it to the ex-
IRENE ground end of this log, where it
had to sit for several minutes, Watching
its brothers and sisters enjoying tSe
fruits of their mothers skill, while it
got none. BY and by its cries seemed to
soften this old cat, and she carried a
piece of fish to the disciplined kitten.
ni was forgiven, and tho little one re-
urned to its place. !

Shedding His ArtIers.

"Come with me and L. will show YOU
something curious" said Dan Neeson,
the keeper of the deer park ut Golden
Gate Park, to a reporter the San Fran
cisco Examiner. ''Our great elk stag,
the one we got few months ago from
Mcnlp Park, has she'd his horns, and you
would not recognize him"
On reaching the fence that surrounded
the pen, the elk was found at the fodder
trough. calmly eating his dinner of
cracked barley, and apparently oblvious
to the curious crowd that surrounded
him. He was hardly recognizable. The
magnificent antlers that had rendered
him the admiration of the visitors were
missing, and nothing remained but raw,
bloodmarked hubs. The elk was as
docile rs COW, and submitted without
opposition to the caresses OF the c.owd,
and appeared to thoroughly enjoy their
stockings.
Gle shed his horns on Saturday morn
ing" continued the keeper. "Of late
he has been more than usually fcrocious,
in fact so much so that it was dangerous
to my life to enter the pen to feed the
deer. On Friday he would not allow me
to enter the enclosure ut all. On Satur.
day morning failed to find him in his
usual place, and on my way to the deer
house to hunt him up came across one
of his antlcrs in the gully and within a
short distance l found the other. then
knew what was the matter"

Handling II Rat.

A boy employed in Sixth avenue
grocery store appeared on the curb the
other morning with a rat trap in his
hand, and within the trap was a gray
headed rodent Of good size, who evil
IDENTIFY realized that Il crisis in his life
was close mt hand. Twenty pedestrians
had their attention arrested ut once, and
three dogs came running up aud began
barking and lcaping around, anxiou, for
the moment when the prisoner should he

"Get ont in the street," shouted n

boy.
Say, bub," remarked fat man with
Il cane, MS he pushed his way into the
crowd, shave you had much experience
with rats. "Thcrc's only one way Of
handling 'em rightly. Let me take the
trap.
The boy surrendered it with very
bad grace, aud the fat man handed his
cane to some one and held the trap high
over the street. There were six or seven
dogs when the spring door was opened,
and the rat didn't like the looks of
things. He ran down to the door, made
spring and a twist, and for about two
seconds was seen on top of the trap.
Then he jumped to the fat mans right
shoulder. AS he did so there was n veil

dogs rushed forward, and next instant
dogs, fat man and rat were all in a
heap in the gutter. One dog got the

POPULAR SCIENCE.

A machine for taking soundinps has
been invented which does not REQUIRE
that the vessel be stopped for the work.
There arc thirty-two compositions on
the market toprevont submarine growths
on iron ships, aud none of them do the
work.
Wood pulp is now being used as the
basis of plastic compound to serve as a
substitute for mortar in covering and
finishing walls.
a question that is now puzzling scien-
lists is If a magnetized horseshoe will
suspend piece OF iron for ages, con-
stantly expanding force, where does it
get its force2
1t has been found that steel ships
possess magnetism that is permanent, and
this has, in some instances, greatly
affected the needle. The magnetism
seems to be acquired during building.
1t is claimed that wall paper can be
made in such way that the passage of
low-tcnsion electric currents will heat it
moderately warm TO the touch and difruse
throughout the room IN agreeable
temperature.
An English electrician has invented n
material that he calls "altcrion," for the
prevention If corrosion in boilers. The
interior of the boiler is coated with this
material, and from time to time electrical
currents are sent through it.
The conclusions reached by modern
mcteorologists are that cyclones of great
intensity are ascending spiral whirls of
wind having a rotary motion in IL direc-
ton in the northern hemisphere opposite
to the movement of the hands of Il watch.
Mention is made of the fact that
Euphorbia rubber, which up to con-.
parativcly recent date has been employed
only to very limited extent, is now
asccrtained to possess certain qualities of
special value in plumbing aud steam
fitting.
A marine algac is found in the Arctic
regions growing at temperature far be-
low zero, while at the higher tcmpcra-

The Tongue.

Taste is not equally distributed over
the whole surface Of the tongue. There
are three distinct regions or tracks, each
Of which has to perform its own special
Office or function. The tip of the tongue
is concerned mainly with pungcnt and
acid tastes; the middle portion is scnsi-
tive chiefly to sweets or bittcrs, while the
back or lower portion confines itself en-
tirely to the tiavors Of roast meats, but
ter, oils and rich and fatty substances.
There are very good reasons for this sub
division of faculties in the tongue, the
objects being, MS it were, to make t.ch
piece Of food undergo three separate cx-
aminations, which must be successfully
passed before it is admitted into full par
ticipation in the human economy. The
first examination gets rid of substances
which would be actively and Immediately
destructive to the very tissues OF the
mouth and body; the second discriminates
between poisonous and chemically harm
less food-stu!fs, and the third merely de-
cides the minor question whether the
particular food is likely to prove then
and there wholesome or indigest;blc to
the particular person. The sense of
taste proceeds, iii fact, upon the principle
OF gradual selection and elimination; it
refuses first what is positively dcstruc-
tive, next, what is more remotely dele
ferrous, and, finally, what is only undc-
| slrablc or Over-luscious.

exPremier is referred to rs ga Just pun

our Hypocrisy" The common assertion
among his bittcrcst adversarics is that
Gladstone is weakening intellectually
that scnility has developed to an extra
ordinary degree his natural vanity, and
that he is now simply paranoiac. Yet,
in spite of his alleged weakness, he is
strong enough to reject percmptorily
every proposition to elevate him to the
peeragc. He might have been an Earl
long ago, but he prefers to remain n
commoner. The old Queen has hated
and feared him most cordially for many
years. The two have quarrcled like cats
and dogs on numerous occasions, but
Gladstone has never yet weakened in the
face of royalty.
"You must do so and so," he once
said to the Queen.
Whereat her Majesty bridled up, and,
bcstowing upon him whitening look.
