BACCILII IN BLOOD.

Recent experiments as resd before the

A Fish That Crosses tho Ocean.

The warrior of the sea, the swordfsh,
Is barring the halibut, the largest of ths
food fishes, the fastest fish that swims
and withal the only one that attacks and
conquers the whale. Another remark
able fact is thatthe swordfish crosses the
ocean twice each year. No baby sword.
fish has ever been seen on our coast, and
a reward of 800 for one which was
caught here a foot or less in length has
never had a claimant. Swordfsh breed
in Mediterranean waters, and nowhere
else are young and old found together.
When warm weather comes they &c
abroad. Crossing the Atlantic the sword.
fish stops awhile at Newport, Block is
land and Bar Harbor and returns in the
cool of the autumn weather to its home
and children. Swordfish average about
five or six feet in length and 300 pounds
in weight. They are dark above and
whitish underneath, and are armed with
a hard and pointed sword which projects
from their upper jaw and in length
equals about a third of that of their bodies.
This sword is a most powerful weapon
and its owner does not hesitate to use it
either as a means of ofense or defense.
The swords have been run through dories
and ships bottoms and even through a
piece of solid oak five inches thick.
Many a luckless sword fisherman has
lost his life on account of the quickness
and ferocity with which this remarkable
fish uses his sword.-New York Tels.

Collections of Arms and Armo,

VI EhEhs u hTH1OE
Lord Ashburnham is credited with
having the finest collection of arms and
armor of any private individual in the
United Kingdom. It contains, with
very few exceptions, specimens of all
styles and ages ever in use throughout
the world, and is valued at eos 900. The
finest collection on the Continent of Eu-
rope was owned by the late Count Daun
at Schloss Yoltun, its owners seat in
Bohemia, and was the labor of fifty
years, and valued at e12, 900. The
finest armory in the world is that which
is found in the tower of London.
The Earl of Warwick at Warwick
Castle possesses ut of the finest collee-
lions in the country, while that owned
by MI. Henry Irving is, in many re-
spects, unsurpassed. Up to a few years
ago the finest collection in the world
was found at Goodrich court, in Here
fordshire, and belonged to Mr.. Harold
Charles Motatt. The collection was
created by Sir Samuel Rush Meyrick,
LII. D., the famous antiquary, who pub
lished a catalogue of the treasures it
contained in 1928. The Musee d'Artil-
lerie at Paris contains one of the richest
and best organized collections in Europe.

Inventions and Mining.

More inventions have been made for
miners than for almost any other class
of men, and there is still a grand field in
mining for the inventors genius. This
danger and risk of mining are still great,
and it is only through inventions that
safety in this work can be obtained.
The miners hats. lights, jackets and i'm
plements for work are nearly all patent
ed, and all of the machinery used for
blasting the rocks, crushing them and
smelling the ore bears the stamp of many
geniuses.
Attic mouth of the miners coat and
trousers pocket, to resist strain and wear
and tear, are small eyelets or meta
rivets, which make a large profit for the
inventor. The inventor OF glass covered
lights which can be carried into the
mines without igniting the dangerous
gases that might be floating around reaps
q princely fortune. George E. Walsh in
New York Epoch.

Mosquitoes Are Eyerywhsre,

Mungo Park considered that croco-
diles were but of little account to the
traveller in Africa, ''when compared with
the amazing swarms of mosquitoes,
which rise from the swamps and creeks
in such numbers as to harass even the
most torpid of the natives" With his
clothes almost worn to rags, he was i'll
prepared to resist their attacks, and fire.
quently, therefore, passed the night
walking backward and forward. tanning
himself with his hat, perpetual motion
being necessary to keep them at hay.
Lime testified to their extraordinary
abundance in Lapland, where smoke and
grease were in his time, as they probably
are still, the best ~preventives known.
And in recent years, Nordenskiold and
others have recorded meeting with enor-
mouss warms in high arctic ATTITUDES,
in which regions, indeed, it is rot only
culices that exist in myriads, bu, other
liptera as well.-Knowledge.

What One Doctor Advised,

A lady whose thick sallow skin caused
unceasing worry, consulted an eminent
physician as to a possible cure; his an
swer was more forcible than courteous:
"Well in the first place, go home and
wash your face and hands clean" Hor-
riied she declared that she had washed
them several times during the day.
what I mean is this, wash with soar
thoroughly" All! she had never used
soap O her face.
When upon returning home she used
the soap, then rinsed in clear water, she
was quite mortified to find her face actu-
ally dirty. In obedience to the doctors
advice this lady pursued the following
course, which may prove beneficial to
others: Every night just before retiring
she bathed face, neck and hands thor
oughly in soapsuds, using, of course,
fine toilet soap; then rinsed in clear wa
ter and dried the skin on a soft Turkish
towel, rubbing until quite free from
moisture. If any sign of roughness or
sunburn appeared, a few drops of glyc-
erin were rubbed in.-Good Housekeep-

Children Cry for
Pitchers Castoria.

A lady at Cincinnati, Illinois, has
married the third time a man
who had been previously married
three times. He had three differ
ent sets of children and she had the
same. Now there are seven diff
ferent families in the one family.
A general riot occurred recently
and when the roll was called seven
were found to be missing. A d.
vorce is applied for now by the lady
because four of her children were
killed and only three Of her hus
bands.

Hardin College.

From the Paris tMo.1 Appeal.
We made a short visit to Mexico
Monday, to visit our daughter,
Pearl, at Hardin College. While
there we learned that Hardin Col
lege now has 142 boarders and 60
day scholars, and was never in such
a fourishing condition as it is at
present. The teachers in all de-
partments are all ladies and gentle
men of almost national reputation,
whose services have beeen secured
at great expense, but through their
utiring zeal, Hardin College now
stands at the head of the female
colleges of the west. The college
will have to be enlarged before
another year, in order to take care
of all who desire to attend. Mex
leo has great reason to feel proud of
Hardin College and its able corps of
instructors.

Superstition of the Sea,

One of Machias' old sea captains, while
en- route to the West Indies, had been
becalmed for several days off Hatteras:
he had prayed for wind, he had sworn
for wind, but the wind came not. At
last he thought he would try another
scheme, so he kissed a silver twenty-five
cent piece and threw it as far as he could
out upon the sea. In a short time the
wind blew a gale, and it drove his vessel
to the coast of Africa.-Lewiston Jour

Learn to laugh. A good laugh is
better than medicine. Learn how
to tell a story. A well told story is
a sunbeam in a sick room. Learn
to keep your own troubles to your
self. The world is too busy to care
for your ills and sorrows. Learn to
stop croakng; if you cannot see any
good in the world keep the bad to
yourself. Learn to hide your aches
and pains under a pleasant smile.
Nobody cares whether you have the
earache, toothache, headache or
rheumatism. Don't cry. Tears do
well enough in novels or on the
stage, bat they are out of place in
real life. Learn to meet your
friends with a smile. The good
humored man or woman is always
welcomed but the dyspeptic or hypo-
chondriae is not wanted anywhere
and is a nuisance as well.

WHEN WOMEN BOARD.
Time Hangs Heavily, Therefore They
Are Prone 10 Gossip.
From the Philadelphia Times.

FEofu the IAlAsueApuia HINES
Every woman ought to possess her
own home, no matter how small or
how grand it is. Still she should
possess one place to call her very
own, and one which keeps her sui
fciently employed to prevent her
getting into mischief. That sounds,
perhaps, alittle harsh, but any truth
full, observant person will coincide
with the writer in pronouncing a
boarding house a hotbed of gossip
and imaginary ailments.
Women thus situated have not
enough to do to keep them occupied.
Their beds are made in the morning,
their rooms busted and their meals
served with no planning on their
part therefore their days are given
over to the ripping up Of a gown, a
few letters to write, perhaps a dress
maker in the house for a day or two
spring and fall, and the remainder
of their idle hours taken up in fancy
work and visits to each others rooms
that result in untold gossip and inn
agination of bodily ailments. A new
arrival furnishes food for conversa-
ton that lasts until the next one
comes or someone already installed
does something that the council of
three or ten regards with disapprov-
ing eyes.
Her gowns, her Jewels, her visitors
and her domestic relations are touch
ed upon with unsparing harshness.
They sit in judgment on actions that
they know nothing regarding their
incentive, and condemn or extol ac-
cording to the limitation of their own
horizon, while if they were to be be-
lieved they are at the very verge of
death, so numerous and changing
are the ailments which they have
ample time to note, though buster
mortals endure or fail to notice at all
symptoms whichthese women board
ers magnify into terrifying COM
plants. If one needs rest then, in
deed, is life in a boarding house an
apt prescription, but for a healthy,
active woman there can be nothing
so positively deadening mentally and
morally as the passive existence she
is there forced to lead.
