Pvthagoras and His Doctrine.

When Pythagoras, after his return from
Egypt, founded a new sect in Greece and
in Italy, he taught the doctrine of the
Egyptian philosophers that at the death OF
the body the soul entered into that of dil-
ferent animals On the decease of any one
of his favorite disciples he used to cause a
dog to be held to the mouth of the dying
man in order to receive his departing spirit,
saying that there was no animal which
could perpetuate his virtues better than
that quadruped. But whenever a knowl-
edge of the Jewish religion spread, or any
OF its traditions were believed, their arose
an adherence of the dog The Moham-
medans also have always regarded the
creature as unclean and never to be kept
in any human habitation.-Interview in

The Printers Stock in Trade.

Speaking of the skill of second sight art

that he saw a female expert defeated
on one occasion. She was passing
through the audience identifying the vari
Gus articles that were handed to her. She
went on smoothly and with success until
she came to a printer. He gave her some
thing made of metal. She puzzled over il
for several minutes.

companied her, 'that she will have to give

''It's humpbacked rule" responded the

A gentleman who was at small hour
banquet relates: at is astonishing how
many business men ara good singers. You
will find more men who can sing than you
will find women. At the affair of which /
speak there were representatives from
nearly every foreign country, our own
countrymen, of course, predominating.
And most of those present were singers.
A young student from Heidelberg gave us,
in its native tongue, The Watch on the
Rhine for which, of course, he received
the customary recognition. An English
man sang annie Laurie an Irishman
The Harp That Once Thro' Tara's Hall
and Frenchman the 'Marseillaise.' Each
one of these songs was as well rendered as

appreciated. Then some one gave US
America It didn't quite hit in some
way. A young man with one of those
ringing tenor voices started the Star
Spangled Banner Before he reached the
chorus every man was on his feet, and each
one was waving napkin, and each one
was singing with all his might. They
went over it again and again, and l never
heard such singing in my life. That was
the song that reached their hearts. phil

A BALLOON Duel.

Perhaps the most remarkable duel ever
fought took place in 1908, in France. NJ.
de Grandpre and M. LIE Pique had a quar-
rel over a lady They agreed to settle their
respective claims by fighting duel in mid
air. from two balloons. Two balloons were
constructed precisely alike, and on the ap-
pointed day the two duelists and their sec
onds entered the car of their respective
balloons. They ascended from the garden
of the Tuileries amid an immense con-
course of spectators. The gentlemen were
to fire not at each other, but at each others
balloons, in order to bring them down by
escape of gas. Each duelist took with
him not pistol but gun.
At given signal the ropes that retained
the cars were cut, and the balloons ascend
ed The wind was moderate and left the
balloons at their required distance of
eighty yards apart. When about half a
mile above the earth precOncerted signal
was given. NJ. LIE Pique fired, but missed;
then NJ. de Grandpre fired, and sent Il ball
through his opponents balloon. The bal
loon collapsed, the car descended with
frightful rapidity, and LIE Pique and his
second were dashed to pieces De Grandpre
continued his ascent triumphantly and
terminated his aerial voyage successfully
at distance of seven leagues from Paris.

Egyptian desert snail which came to life
upon being immersed in warm water after
it had passed four years glued to card in
the British museum. Some specimens in
the collection OF a naturalist revived after
they had apparently been dead for fifteen
years, and snails frozen for weeks together
in solid blocks of ice have recovered on
being thawed out. The eggs of this Great

must call up a powerfully built man of
middle size with full brown beard; a
wide, high forehead, which his friends
declared Olylnpian; shapely, straight
nose; hair worn rather long, after the
fashion of forty years ago: direct hmpld
gaze from eyes of unusual largeneSs and
grayish blue IN color, and mouth whose
lines indicate the absorbed man and the
reticent. He was an extremely thought
ful man. not by any means smileless and
the furthest remove from stupid; he
was one of those who are hard TO WIN
for friend. but once a friend, eminent
ly the person with whom 10 pass weeks
IN the pursuit of a worthy study. There
Is the sympathetic man who talks, and
