him afar off galloping as if he had been
sent for the doctor and was afraid he
wouldn't find him at home. Approach
ing you as the two paths cross he will
usually rein up, exchange salutations,
study your outfit closely, checking his
pony to the slowest Of walks, and with
out asking question will know just
where you are going, what you are 60
ing to do and what food you will proba-
bly, give him if he calls upon you at your
evening fire. Then he is off again,
ranging easily in the saddle, and soon
disappearing from sight. The land
from which he came is as empty as that
into which he has vanished. There is
not sign of human habitation in either
direction. Hehas probably come twenty
miles since dawn, and will, unless he
concludes to camp with you, make an
other twenty before drawing rein.-Chi-

The Ring Of chsops.

Cheops was the builder of the pyramid
which bears his name, and, as if to make
the structure perpetuate his deeds for all
time to come, the very stones and bricks
OF which it is composed are stamped with
his name. Cheops lived nearly $500
years ago, his great pyramid being an
antiquity in the days when the great
nations of old were IN their youth, and
yet we of this Nineteenth century can
have the satisfaction of looking upon the
very ring he wore so proudly upon his
royal finger! The hieroglyphics on the
ring are infinitely accurate and beauti-
fully executed, the ring itself being of
finest gold and weighing nearly an ounce.
The oval signet bears the name of Che
ops, which is in hieroglyphics in perfect
accord with the stamp on the bricks of
the great pyramid. This remarkable an
tiquity was found in tomb at Ghizeh.
1t now reposes in the museum of the
New York Historical society.-St. Louis
Republic.

when animals Ar. "charmed."

Kahn mentions having seen a rattle
snake "lying at the bottom of a tree on
which a squirrel was seated, fixing its
eyes on the little animal, which from
that moment cannot move or escape, but
begins a doleful cutlery, comes toward
the snake, runs little bit away, comes
nearer, and finally is swallowed" But,
as If to show that this result of bewil-
derment is not all to be put down to
the eye alone, DR.. Andrew Smith says:
81 have heard of cases in which ante
lopes and other quadrupeds have been
so bewildered by the sudden appearance
of crocodiles, by the grimaces and con-
tortions they practiced, as to be unable
to fly or move from the spot toward
which the crocodiles were approaching
to seize them"
This power is in the human animal
often developed to very great extent,

Sleeping Car rIotsam and Jetsam

There are q great many articles left in
the cars of the Pullman company, but
the number Of toothbrushes left far out

porter said: 1--WE are required to turn
every article we find in the cars over to
the company. These articles are labeled
and laid away in a building especially
constructed. There is hardly trip that
do not turn in at least two lost tooth
brushes. l suppose all other porters find
equally as many. There is a simple
reason why toothbrushes are lost.
"When person uses his brush he does
not like to put it back in the satchel
while it is wet, and therefore he lets it
remain out awhile to dry. Then he for

why u MOSQUITO Bite Hurts.

Humboldt, who was firm believer in
the poisonous nature of the mosquito
bite, considered the sucking out of the
poison to be the explanation of the pain
lessness Of some wounds. He affirmed
that if the insect were allowed to suck
to safety no swelling took place, and
no pain was left behind, and considered
that when pain was produced it resulted
from the hasty interruption of the proc
ess of sucking, since then the last in
fused poison would not be able to be
Withdrawn. He experimental with one
of the most virulent species, allowing it
gently to settle on the back of his hand,
and reports Of it:
81 observed that the pain, though vio-
lent in the beginning, diminishes in pro-
portion as the insect continues to suck,
and ceases altogether when it volunta-
rily flies away. knowledge.

No Place for Him.

Until ten years or more ago the Texas
Pan Handle, through several months of
each year, afforded pasturage for vast
herds II bison, commonly known as the
buffalo, an animal which, in its wild
state, at least, has almost entirely van
ished. On certain occasion two gen.
tlemen, prominent in Texas politics, were
hunting in the buffalo region, and one of
them, getting within range of herd
of the ruminants, brought down large
bull.
Knife in hand, the hunter was ap-
preaching his quarry, when all at once
it rose, believing and ready for bust
ness. Since the gun was empty, flight
was the sportsmans only recourse, and
an instant later wild eyed man was
seen tearing away, with furious brute
closely following.
Hunter number two, meanwhile, was
watching the scene from a hilltop, too
far off to be of the slightest assistance to
his companion.
A tragic termination of the chase
seemed inevitable, for the fleeing gentle
man was a heavyweight, and already
the space between pursuer and pursued
began to diminish. Suddenly the fugi-
tive was seen to strike off at an angle,
and the breathless watcher heaved a
sigh of relief when his friends objective
point was found to be a cave but few
rods away.
At the very entrance to this seeming
place Of safety, however, the fleeing man
turned aside and dashed with such frantic
speed across the plain that a marked
gain was made upon his pursuer.
But this could not last long, and final
ly, the fugitive's strength utterly fail
ing him, he fell completely exhausted,
while the buffalo, faint from loss of
blood, dropped at almost the same in
slant and within less than rod of the
PROSTATE man.
Hunter number two now came up, and
his first question was:
"Why didn't you run into the cave,
colonel? That would have shielded you
from the buffalo"
"Buffalov' came the painting but con-
temptuous response; "why, general,
there's bear in that cave as big as two
buffalo!"-Youth's Companion.

Writing in Erect Characters.

AS most adults write without much
regard to the angle which the words
take, it is to them a matter of supreme
Indifference whether upright or sloping
calligraphy is best for their health. But
with children it is different. Hence
there may be something in the recon-
mendation of Drs. Won Reuss and
Lorenz to the supreme council of n.y.
giene for Austria that in future children
should be taught to write in erect char
acters, for in this form of penmanship
the scholar faces his work, and is spared
the twist of the body and neck which is
always observable in those who write
slantwise, and the tendency to spinal
curvature induced thereby. -London

TEN rraEr FOR PURE FOOD.
Success Of tho Efforts to Scotch 5at
Baking Powders.

The aggressive war waged by the Royal
Baking Powder Company upon the hosts Of
adulterated and impure baking powders sold
throughout the country Is having desirable
effect The scaDdalOus attacks upon the
Royal company by the manufacturers of the
impure goods (which are made doubtless
both from spirit of revenge and In the
hope of breaking the effect OF the damaging
exposures) show that they are hit, while the
official reports which have come from var
ious public authorities fully corroborating
the statements made by the ROYAL company,
have awakened wholesome public senti-
ment i'm favor of repressive laws, which
means mischief TO the illegitimate traffic
The Royal Baking Powder Company set
out some time ago to expose the character
and to break up the sale of adulterated bak-
ing powders. Having found from an eX-
animation of many specimens that there was
q large number of actually injurious pow
ders in the market, they brought the matter
before the public and denounced the makers
by name in the press and to the health
authorities. The affair was taken up by
physicians, boards of health, and legisla-
lures throughout the country, chemists were
employed TO test the various powders in the
market, and the government itself directed
analysis to be made before it would pur-
chase the supplies needed for army, navy,
and Indian uses.
The result justified the charges made by
the Royal company. Not only were the
majority of baking powders in the market
found to be largely adulterated, but many
of them were ascertained to contain alum
and other poisonous ingredients to such an
extent as to render them positively unsafe
for use i'm human food.
In making the charges the Royal Baking
Powder Company did not hesitate to enter
into competition with every other baking
powder i'm the country, and 1t is public
satisfaction that in the official tests by the
government and state chemists and by
boards of health. the Royal Baking Powder
has been declared to be the superior OF all.
others in strength, purity and wholesome
ness, and absolutely free from all inferior OF
detrimental substances.
From recent official reports it is evident
that the alum and otherwise impure goods
have again come upon the market in danger
Gus quantities and their old enemy, the
Royal, is again upon the warpath. In con-
tinuing its warfare against these goods the
Royal is meeting with the 0ld-time OPPOSE
ton and abuse. The public, however, will
appreciate, as heretofore, both the object OF
the abuse and the action of the Royal COM
pany, and award full justice to the company
that SO fearlessly stands up for its protection
from such Adventures.
