One of the largest establishments in this
country has for some time been turning
out paper belts that have the reputation Of
being superior in many respects to those
of leather These belts are made from
pure linen stock, and ere of any desired
thickness, width or length, having also a
driving power equal to ANY other of equal
surface and while it is not claimed for
them that they are adapted to all kinds Of
work, they are found to serve well as
straight driving belts of not less than five
inches in width.
Where they have been tested side by
side with leather belts for strength and
durability. they are alleged to have proved
equally satisfactory, adhering very closely
to the pulley, generating no electricity
while running, being also flexible and
unaffected by temperature within ordinary
limits, though there is one place in which
they cannot be used, and that is where
they have to run in water, or where they
would be constantly subjected to moisture.
1t is admitted that this kind of betting is
best adapted to heavy driving belts, and
for this purpose it is not only much the
cheapest material, but when once in posi-
ton will run until worn out.-New York

Tic PhysloIorv of Evil.

In his curious study of the physiology
of Evil" DR., B. w Richardson declares
that the man Of science finds two natural
causes of evil in mankind-hereditar and
early environment The operation of these
causes is made conspicuous in novel in
vestigation carried out by Professor Dug
dale, of New York, who has been able to
trace one criminal family back to the set
Element of its first members in America
He has found that from this parent stock
has sprung l,200 descendants. The lives
of 100 of these have been closely followed
by Professor Dugdale, the result of the in
vestigation showing that not one of the
700 had escaped the contamination of evil
or its consequences. His researches also
show that the crimes of this one family
have, during the last seventy-hve years,
cost the state of New York 81, 100000
Those who are borR bad, however, are
not always incurar III Mr. Isaac Ashe,
president of the Central Criminal asylum,
Dublin, Ireland, has suggested that in
herited tendencesto crime can be treated
in the young by teaching useful occupa-
tions, which will call into play the facul-
ties exercised in criminal acts. Thus the
child of n clever forger may be educated
into an honest craftsman, so may the
children of several generations of pick
pockets be taught clever handiwork, such
as Matchmaking or other work requiring
fingers unusually deft in their movements.

your mother in a bag and come to the

put your mother ina bag and come to the
dance"
The coyote went running home. There
his old mother was sitting in the corner Of
the fireplace. Tie stupid coyote picked up
a stick and struck her on the head and put
her In a bag, and hurried back to the dance
with her
The crows were dancing merrily and
singing
"Ai mana, que-eerah que.ee-rah."
(Alas, Manual you are shaking you are
shakingD The coyote Joined the dance
with the bag on his back, and sang as the
crows did:
"Ai mana. que-ee-rah, que-ee-rah." TAI
mana Is an exclamation always used by
mourncrs.
But at last the crows burst out laughing,
and said, What do you bring in your
bagW
my mother, as you told me, replied the
coyote, showing them.
Then the crows emptied their bags, which
were filled with nothing but sand, and flew
up into the tree, laughing
The coyote then saw that they had played
him trick, and started home, crying "Ai
nanap When he got home he took his
mother from the bag and tried to set her
up in the chimney corner, always crying,
"Ai mani, why don't you sit up as before"
But she could not, for she was dead. When
he found that she could not sit up any
more he vowed to follow the crows and
eat them all the rest Of his life and from
that day to this he has been hunting them,
and they are always at ware II. Lummis

The true luxury of the bath is best ap.
preciated by people of hot climates The
baths of Kingston, Jamaica, are described
bya correspondent as delightful, being long
enough and wide enough to allow one to
founder about, and even to take "A couple
of strokes. They are made of concrete and
are filled with water at the temperature at
which it comes from the mains-just right
to make a plunge enjoyable. So clear is the
water that one can scarcely realize it is
three feet deep.
Once in awhile, to be sure, there is some
thing which may detract from it's enjoy
ment by the stranger, if he has not become
used to some of the other inhabitants Of
the land. For example, as was about to
take my first jump, discovered something
that looked bit like u horseshoe crab
down at the bottom. Calling to one of the
black pickaninnies running about the
yard, asked him what it was.
ooh, OATS u scorpium."
"Well, take him right out"
ooh, he's dead, sab"
"Never mindl prefer my bath without
him in it,"
A dead scorpion is bad enough but that
is preferable to having a live one drop
from the rafters overhead on ones bare
flesh, as once happened to a friend of mine.

The cause OF Poor Health

Is often found in the neglect of ones
own self. A light.cold or slight head
ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass off, and it is only
when a case of full-fedged sickness de-
velops Itself that the consequences OF
that neglect are fully realized. AS a
preventive and positive cure for Conghs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting of blood,
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
stages Of consumption, use Eilert's Ex-
tract of Tar and Wild Cherry, and for
sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Dys-
pepsia, Nervousness and all Bilious
Complaints, use Eilerts Daylight Liver
Pills. Both are guaranteed.

The term fixed" applied to the stars, is
a mistake, for it is now known that there
is not a fixed star in the heavens, and prob
ably ne such condition as absolute rest in
the universe. All the stars are in motion
and some Of them are moving at the rate
of 100000 miles an hour, or more than
thrice the velocity Of our earth on its orbit
1t might be thought that this constant mo-
ton would produce continual changes in
the stellar relations and alter the face of
the heavens every few years,
But the vast distances mt which the stars
are set from rs destroy the visual aspect of
their motion and preserve the unchanging
aspect of the heavens. None of the con
stellations have suffered a dislocation in
5000 years. Sirius, Arcturus and the PIE
ladies' are still in their places Although
the eighty one stars in Orion have ever
been in motion, each without relation to
any other, the mighty figure is as it APP
peared to the man of w forty centuries
ago.-New York Telegram.
