A UNIQUE Portrait.

Many remarkable stories are told con-
cerning the wonders of penmanship,
such as the work of John,J. Taylor, OF
Streator, Ill.,, who once wrote G000
words on the blsnk side of apostal card;
aud the Austrian who wrote 400 letters
on grain Of wheat; but in the estima-
tion of the writer, Gustave Dahlberg,
Swedish university student, has eclipe1
them all. r
This wizard of the pen has made a
portrait of King Oscar, the whole in
microscopic letters, forming short and
long extracts from the Bible.
The right eye of this wonderful
portrait is made up of even verses from
the Psalms of David; the left of verses
from the Proverbs of Solomon, the Book
of Chronicles, and the Song of Solomon,
containing in all 317 words and 1903
letters. Thu Kings uniform is com
posed of the whole of the first fifty
Psalms.
The exact number of words and letters
in the whole portrait is not stated, but
judging from the fact that it took 1903
letters to ma G one eye, the whole mum
Der of letters in this triumph OF the pen
mans art cannot fall much short of
$4,000. In making the name of the
King alone, Dalhberg used all of the
Royal Greek prayer and the cxxvi. and
oxxvii. Psalms, says the Philadelphia
Press.
The portrait, which is said to look
life-like aud natural, is on tinted paper
of the kind known as Haynes Stand
ard, - and is so small that United States
half-dollar laid upon it comparatively
hides it from view. Taken all in all, it
is accounted the most wonderful piece
of penmanship ever executed.

One new creature in the next European
war will be the Bosnia Herzegovinian
troops, who are now exciting the admira-
tion of Vienna by their superior ply
slque, martial bearing, firm, elastic step
and steadiness, as well as by their prac,
tical dress and equipment. Following
the British example with native Indian
troops, the Austrian Government de-
cided to mingle Unfortunately in
these new levies Christians and Mahome-
tans, Greeks and Roman Catholics, in
stead of keeping tho sectaries apart.
The plan Is said to work admirably.

Some of the wiscst scholars delight in
the collection of pamphlets, learns the

pamphlets which attracted little notice
at the time of their publication cen

DR.. Edward Everett Gale is one of these
pamphlets collectors. He keeps his in a
series of baskets suspended by rope and
pulley from the beams in the ceiling OF
his study.

The true Arabian horses cannot be

from the Turkish dominions is prohib.
tied All of them that have been brought
here have been given TO prominent per

no mares they are not bred pure in any
part of this continent. Consequently the
sfallions are used only for crossing. -

THE papers TEEN with advice to stout
women on how to rid themselves of super
fuous flesh" said woman who is not
stout the other day, but seldom find a
paragraph on the opposite side of the ques-
tion. / should be very glad to take on a
few pounds of avoirdupois, and in recent
visit to my physician l asked him how

said, don't worry; to end with, don't worry,
and between times don't worry. / never
saw thin woman yet, he went on, who
was not a nervous one, and worry is large
part of nerves. Stout women are often
nervous as well, but thin women are sure to
be so.
"'When you have become thoroughly
imbued with the desirability of calmness in
all emergencies some other aids to flesh
are plenty of sleep, eight hours out of every
twenty-four at least, and more IL you can

The Sense of Feeling.

Some Of our most important organs-for
instance, the heart, the brain and the lungs
are, strange to say, quite insensible to
touch, thus showing that not only are
nerves necessary for the sensation, but also
the special end organs The curious fact
was noticed with the greatest astonish-
ment by Harvey, who, while treating a
patient for an abscess that caused large
cavity in his side, found that when he put
his fingers into this cavity he could actual
ly take hold Of the heart without the pa
tent being in the least aware of what he
was doing. This so interested Harvey that
he brought King Charles l to the mans
bedside that "he might himself behold
and touch so extraordinary a thing"
In certain operations a piece of skin is
removed from the forehead to the nose,
and 1t is stated that the patient, oddly
enough, feels as if the new nasal part were
still in his forehead, and may have a head
ache in his nose-Chambers' Journal.

word to be used in describing them, A

northern Italy are gloriously, madden
ingly beautiful. They are mixture of
the French gentry and the old Italian
nobility, and inherit the vivacity of one
country and the voluptuous, half oriental
beauty of the other. IL you want 10

The finest tree in the world is said to be
the Agassiz, one Of the Sequoia gigantea,
81 feet in diameter, nearly 800 feet in height
and of remarkable symmetry. At the
Paris exhibition of 1915 there were shown
no fewer than $3.50 specimens of wood
from India, belonging TO 906 species and
4S2 genera. And a more recent exhibition,
that held in Edinburgh in 1884, made us
acquainted with the glories of the Japa-
