III we take any moderately large insect

any possibility find entrance.
Sometimes they are furnished with a

other cases they are densely fringed with
stiff interlacing bristles forming a ilter,

The misery endured during those four
months at Bonner lake in our little dark
cabins under the snow would fill pages
and make the coolest heart ache. Christ
mas was near, but to the starving its
memory gave no comfort. 1t came and
passed without observance, but my
mother had determined weeks before
that aer children should have a treat OF
this one day. She had laid away a few
dried apples, some beans, a bit OF tripe,
and a small piece of bacon.
When this boarded store was brought
out the delight of the little ones knew
no bounds. The cooking was watched
carefully, and when we sat down to our
Christmas dinner mother said, "Chil-
dren, eat slowly. for this n day you
can have all you wish" SO bitter was
the misery relieved by that one bright
day, that | have never since sat down to
a Christmas dinner without my thoughts
going back to Bonner lake.
The storms often would last ten days
at a time, and we would have to cut
chips from the logs inside which formed
our cabin in order to start II fire. We
could scarcely walk, and the men had
hardly strength to procure wood. We
would drag ourselves through the snow
from one cabin to another, II some
mornings snow would have to be SHOW
eled out of the fireplace before a fire
could be made. Poor little children were
crying with hunger, and mothers were
crying because they had so little to give
their children. We seldom thought Of
bread, we had been without it so long.
Four months of such suffering would fill
the bravest hearts with despair.-Cor.

The frog has been called 1.-The victim
of science" because he is always being
dissected for the purpose Of seeing how
he can get along without his most essen
tial organs, how his blood circulates and
how his nervous system acts. He is se-
lected for such ends not, as is commonly
imagined, because his structure is at all
humanlike, but for the reason that he
will endure being chopped up to such a
remarkable extent and still retain life.
You can remove his brain and he will
get along fairly well without it, swallow
ing whatever is put into his mouth, and
otherwise behaving as usual, though in
an automatic fashion. In fact the ami
NAL will live indefinitely under such
conditions, as experiment has shown.
II you cut out his lungs he will not die
for a long time, because he can breathe
very well through his skin. Human
beings breathe through the skin all over
the body in a small degree, the blood in
the superficial vessel taking up a certain
amount OF oxygen, but the function is
exercised more satisfactorily by the frog.
Besides, his nervous system affords an
interesting study under ingenious torture
by the anatomist, and the corpuscles in
his blood being remarkably large, that
fluid serves admirably for the instruction
of the seeker after medical knowledge

AS many sirens as there are, so many
are their ways of charming. There are
assaults and there are sieges, open bat
ties and ambuscades. The platonic af-
lection stalking horse is one of the most
frequent. There is ever danger present
when a woman listens with patience to
a mans talk about himself. Woman
fiatters man on the qualities by which
she enslaves him. A woman never tells
a man that his will is Of iron, say when
she is bending it to her own uses. Some
are attracted by the simplicity of a char
acter; but to many the difficulty of un-
d~erstanding a character constitutes its
greatest, perhaps its only, charm, SO
that when once they have probed it
they throw it aside as of no more inter
est.-Murray's Magazine.

We are often asked for a cure for head
ache. A certain wise physician classes
headaches among the ailments which
have baffled his profession. At a medi-
cal meeting a member said: Ibid any of
you ever cure a headache7 never did"
Several doctors having mentioned their
treatment, he replied: ''oh, you only re-
lieved it. | can do that But have you
ever cured it?"
No one could answer yes. The shops
contain nostrums enough, but did any
one ever find himself more than EN-
porarily relieved by them3
Nature, unaided, sometimes effects G
permanent cure by the changes which
the system undergoes in the process of
time. Persons who lave been subject to
headache are often more or less fully re-
lieved after about the age of fifty. This
is perhaps a result of the s~hrinkage of
the brain and the hardening of the
tissues, which begins at about that period.
Changes in ones condition or habits, or
in climate, may sometimes effect a cure
by removing the disturbing cause

Not every one will understand what is
meant by the locating of the site of the
Temple Of the Revolution at Newburg
on the Hudson. When the American
army was cautioned ear Newburg in
1888 there was deep discomfort among
both officers and men because they could
not get their pay. On March IL, 1888,
a circular was secretly distributed in or
der to bring about n somewhat seditious
meeting at what was called a temple, a
little log building newly erected there.
General Gates was thought TO be at the
bottom of the movement. by which it
was intended that the army should
arouse the fears Of congress and the peo-
pie and thus get better treatment. The
meeting was fully attended, and Wash
ington made IN address S o patriotic and
firm in behalf Of patience and loyalty
that the result was a series Of resolutions
promising all that Washington had
counseled.- New York Sum.

The members of a family in Washing
ton, d. c., which includes two physi-
clans, lose the color of their hair usually
between the ages Of twelve and twenty
years; while Mrs. Sally Davis, of Ken

authority on the hair, as possessing soft,
brown, silky locks without a silver
thread among them when owe seventy
years of age.
That hair usually becomes gray as we
advance in years is true, but the active
cause for this change must evidently
lie in the organism itself or in the condi-
tons to which it is subjected, and not in
the mere fact of increasing years.

In a little while, when l shall lie
With my face upturned to the bending sky,
I shall not hear the wind and rain
Beating against the window pane,

And watch the changsful embers bright
And sigh as ! think of the fading years,
And the cherished hopes that were drowned In
tears-
In a little while, when the grass shall wave
It's plumy length DER my lonely grave;
When the sun shall rise, and the sun shall set
And none will murmur a fond regret
Their | shall not hear the wild birds song,
Nor heed the hum OF the busy throng
Who pass me by as / lie at rest,
with tired hands folded over my breast
In a little while, when life is done,
And / stand before the great white throne,
Whose radiance blinds my poor, weak sight
As darkness yields to the morning light

And ease quick follow on haunting pain
Shall l know at last in my quiet bed
Rest only comes to the shadowy dead7
I shall not heed when the coffin lid
Is closed, and the form within is hid
From the careless gaze OF the careless crowd.
Who idly chatter In accents loud.
/ shall not heed the sods that lie
Between my face and the summer sky;
! shall only know that tomorrow's sun
Wakes me no more. LIES work isdone.

Arctic voyagers and other travellers in
frigid regions have frequently been sub
jeot to canities as the effect Of cold, a
circumstance quite in keeping with the
fact that animals, such as the bear, fox
and lemming, inhabitants of the ex-
IRENE north, have hirsute coverings of
white. The writer was once acquainted
with a man named Sweeny, formerly a
sailor, whose hair was Jet black except a
snow white tuft about the middle of the
frontal suture, where the scalp had been
taken of through a fall from a mast On
shipboard. Where burns and severe
local inaammstions have resulted in a
loss of a portion of the scalp, the injured
part has similarly been covered in many
cases with a growth of white hair

The wheel Is Thousands OF Years Old.
The earliest mention of wheels in the
Bible is in Exodus xiv, 25, when the
chariot wheels of the Egyptians were
taken off by the Lord; but chariots are
mentioned in Genesis xii, 43. But there
were older nations than the Egyptians.
The Chaldeans used chariots; the Greeks
-Homer's poems date from about 900

Troy, 1900 B. q. Probably in reality
the wheel is about a early q piece-ef

course it has been developed, but the
bicycle wheel of today is a lineal de-
scendant of the section of a log of wood
used by the agricultural peoples thou

A "planoI.t" who Did Not Use Scores.

A "PIanoIst" who Did Not Use Scores.
1t is well known that American actors
are exceedingly fond of New York, while
they like other places in varying degrees,
down to the "one night stands" which
they do not like at all. The reasons are
obvious, but a new illustration may be
found in an incident of Miss Rose Cogh-
Ian's tour Of some OF the small towns Of
Pennsylvania. In Peg Wellington" Miss
Coghlan introduces a minuet, and she has
AL orchestral score specially prepared for

is travelling to send this ahead, so that
the orchestra of the theater can rehearse
it. In a certain n night stand the ad-
vance agent approached the manager on
this subject and asked if the orchestra
could be called together.
"Well the fac is" replied the man
sger, 1--WE haven't got an orchestra"
mo orchestral
mo, only n 'pianoist.'"
What was more, the manager did not
think that an orchestra could be had in
the town. The advance agent telegraphed
back to the own where the company was
for instructions. After much consulta-
ton it was decided that a piano score
must be made from the already existing
orchestra score. The leader of the or
chestra of the theater agreed to try his
best to make this new score. 1t was a
large labor for him, as he was not used
to such work, and he staid at the the
alter for two hours after the performance
to do 1t. Then it was sent forward in
triumph to the "pianoist, a" and the crown
ing calamity was discovered-the piano
list" was blind.
In the end n violinist was found who
made some attempt at playing the music,
