Reckless Waste.

A farmer prided himself upon the
strength of an iron constitution, and
treated with contempt precautions that
weaker men were compelled to take.
While perspiring from work in the hay
field, he would throw himself on the
ground in the shade and go to sleep.
Soon that strong man was a physical
wreck, aud the few years of his after
life were years Of great suffering. A
Young man by break of day would be 10
the field trying to do as much work as
he could before breakfast. All day il
was incessant work, leaving of only
when compelled by darkness, and doing
chores by lantern light. For years he
labored like a slave with his hands, but
there was little brain work in it. He
never got rich in this way, aud for all
the hard earned dollars he could scrape
together, there was an Offset of mental
poverty. Long before he was old, he
had "worked himself almost to death. "
Cui bonol When the grip prevailed
about year ago, he fell an unresisting
victim. Hartford Comm Times.

The Worlds Largest University.

That enterprising university country,
Germany, publishes year book Of the
universities of the world, Of which it
states there are 119. 1t is little sur
prising to read that Italy heads the list
with twenty-one universities. Germany
herself comes second with twenty, and
the United States, which is third; is
credited with thirteen; Austria, Hun
gary and Spain have eleven each; Great
Britain and Ireland, ten; Russia, nine;
Switzerland, six, and the rest are "scat-
tering." The curiosity Of the list appears
in the column that gives the average
number of students per university, the
one university of Greece having $500
students, and being the best attended
university of the number heard from.
Strange as it may seem, however, the
compilers of this interesting record do not
appear to have heard of the best attended
university in the world; they do not give
a place to it aud they seem to think that
the $500 students of the university of
Greece constitute an unequalled attend
auce. The biggest university in the
world is at Cairo. Eyypt-a country
which is not mentioned at all in the Ger
man table-and it has II, 600 students.
They come from every part OF the Mo-
hamme1an world, and they study Mus
selman law, history, theology and other
branches needed to confirm them in the
faith of Mohammed. They sit on the
floor Of an enormous court and study
aloud. and the Western visitor who calls
on them during study hours thinks that
he has struck the original site of the
Tower of Babel aud that the confused Of
tongue haven't stopped talking yet

Balloon of Hamln Hair.

John Millmore, of Brooklyn, n. T.,
proposes to make balloon of human hair
which will be forty feet high when in-
hated and thirty feet wide at the base
when in motion, but still capable OF
being compressed to the size of an ordi-
nary rubber ball aud carried in the
pocket. Human hair is to be used be-
cause it is the most perfect conductor OF
electricity which is TO be the motive
power. The balloon will be 50 light and
strong that the widest storm cannos
turn it from its course. 1t will hy mile
in few seconds, and in its ribs OF hair
will carry messages, to be delivered
phonographicaly. Its movements will
be regulated with precision By means OF
a switchboard in a dark room we'll sup
piled with mirrors.
Mr.. Millmore was long seaman IN the
navy, and was honorably discharged from
the Essex, commanded By Captain
Schley. He thinks he has discovered
that brain can communicate with brain
by means of a wire made of human hair.
One or two more discoveries will land
him in a lunatic asylum. New Orleans

To Learn the Monkey Lanaua 1e.

Professor r. L. Garner, the man who
can converse with monkeys, is still in
the city, his departure for the Canary
Islands having been delayed. 1t is his
intention, as soon as he can get his ap'
paratus in his order, to leave by a
Cunarder for Liverpool, and after brief
stop in London and Paris, take a ship
from AIarseilles for Africa. Professor
Garner intends to isolate himself for an
indefinite period in the heart of a trop-
ical jungle, living in steel-wire cage,
with the Simian tribes all about him. lie
will have bis phonograph to catch the
words of the monkeys, by which means
he will conduct his study of their tongue.
The Professor is firmly convinced, from
long study of the Simian. that h, has
vocabulary of about thirty-ive wori;.
Six of these words are now on recorl in
nearly every mo lcrn language save taas
OF the monkey himself. Professor Gar
ner may be seen on upper Broadway on
pleasant afternoons, taking his consti-
tutioual. He isa lar robust man, with
a cheerful face, aad is always ready to
talk on his favoritc theme-the monkey
language. New York Advertiser.

The First Paper Makers.

The wasps were actual paper makers
long before man knew how, and by very
much the same process by which man
manufactures it now. In fact, all the
while that people in the olden times were
using wood and stone and brass, the
bark of trees, and the skins of animals,
this little insect was making fair better
material.
The wood fibers used by the wasp are
about tenth of an iu,h long and finer
than a hair. They gather them into a
bundle, adding to them as they move
from place to place. You will find it
very unlike the wood gnawed by other
insects. They bruise these fbers into a
sort of lint, before using them, with
their mandibles or jaws, preferring old
aud dried wood. After this brulsing
process they use sort of glue, which
they eject from their mouths, to fasten
them together, then they knead it into a
sort of paste, like papier ma,he, making
it into ball which afterward they tram.
pie into a leaf as thin as tissue paper
with their feet. The first thing wasp
does after the paper is ready is to line
the roof Of her house with it, using fif-
teen or sixteen layers, or sheets, one
above the other, making wall of nearly
two inches in thickness. These layers
are left with spaces between, appearing,
as you look at the nest, as if made OF so
many little shells. After the ceiling is
finished, the wasp begins to build the
rest of the nest, which is composed OF an
immense number OF paper shells, and
when done look like honeycOmb, only
perhaps more light and elegant, il this
were possible. You may think these
cells are for honey, but they are not, for
the wssps never make it, but are solely
prepared for rearing their oung.-Dc-

Sniders That Catch Birds.

In the tropics arc tound many kinds
Of great hairy spiders, some of which
have spread OF legs that will cover a
tea-plate. One of these unpleasant
creatures will sometimes weigh as mlch
as half a pound. They arc called
"tarantulas,' although the real tarantula
is an insect only found in southern
Europe, where so maLy superstitions re-
specting 1t prevail. Most of the big
spiders of the New World are OF the
sort which build nests with trAp-doors,
lining a hole dug in the grouad with
elk, fitting it with door so artfully
made as hinge, bevcled edge and
spring, that it is almost impossible to
deteet the fact that there is an opening,
and in some cases actually planting see Is

them at the border Of spring. Boston
