BEDou,N sUPERsT'Lle'ss-,.~
The Unreasoning Treatment of Arabian
Horses by Their Masters. !,

The Unreasoning Tseatmeut of Arabian
Horses by Their Masters. !
The Bedouin i S full of horse super
stitions. His horse-lore is much like
but less than that Of our old-fashioned
liveryman Of a past generation. He
knows horses habits and diseases by
observation solely; he has no idea Of
anatomy. Every species of wind trou-
bic to which the horse is subject he
merely describes as "having something
wrong inside him. He treats horse
on a SYSTEM Of old saws. For lame-
ness he has but one remedy, the hot
iron. His horse will work 10 twenty
or even twenty-five years old. but he
thinks that he ''grows weaker after
twelve In buying, he looks more att
marks than points. @5
In feeding and watering the horse,
says Rarper's Magazine, the Bedouins
seem to us to be equally interestingly
unless it be agreed that O. horse cam
stand anything he is used to, and that
II is we'll to get him used to Irregular
habits. The fact that the Ara bian has
often to 80 an indefinite time without
food or drink makes him hardy and
less apt to suffer than are our regular
~ treated animals. He goes all day in
the hot sun, and does not ask for wa
ter--impatiently at least-even i'm
crossing brook. He is fed and was
tered apparently regardless OF the fact
that be is hot or tired. He is given his
pail Of water and his troughful of3drY
or green food. or W atever else4ais
availa BILE, SO soon as he stops on a jou
ney, or is ridden off Immediately
after. Quite as often he gets nothing
at all. / have seen horses ridden all
day, and have ca1nped at noon with
them near BY stream, without any
one trying to water them. because
they had no bucket and the banks
were high. 1t would never occur to a
Bedouin to carry Il Skin pail with him.
But the horses seemed used to such
neglect, and never even whipnied for
the water gurgling past them,

An Intere.t,nx Fish.

The gold fish, which is distributed
over nearly all parts of the world, is
one of the. most interesting members
of the finny tribe. 1t apparently is
very susceptible to atmospheric
changes, and anyone who takes the
trouble to note its actions in the
aquarium will be astonished to find
that the beautiful little fish is a true
prophet in matters relating to changes
in the weather. When an area Of low
er temperature, with rain or snow. is
approaching, the gold fish remains
near the surface of the water, while if
clear, sunshiny weather is expected
it will almost always be found near
the center of the reservoir.

.sERPENTtNE CucUMsERs.
Singular Product OF Some Maryland


A Singular Product or Some Maryland
Gardens.
Down in Miles River Neck, Talbot
county there is IL spot where the
average Chinese would delight to dwell.
1t is place where Chinese cucumbers
grow to an enormous size. This vegeta-
BILE. however, assumes sometimes a
shape which frightens the natives of
the neighborhood. The cucumber
grows long and slim, and at times
twists itself into coils resembling a
snake. A man going from Easton the
other day to Miles River Ferry, in pass
ing little clearing in the woods, no.
ticed a green-lookin!: object in patch
of vegetables, and he got over the
fence to make a closer examination
came along soon afterward. The first
man had revived and was leaving the
patch at a Nancy Hanks gait. When
accosted he said to his friend: Been
bit by snake; woods full OF :em. :"
Citizen No. 2 persuaded the frightened
man to 60 back, and upon examination
the snake proved to be d Chinese Gu
cumber about s.venty-seven inches
long, which in the course of growth
had twisted itself up in the form Of a
snake The cucumber was perfectly
snakelike. The Chinese cucumber is
not eaten to any extent i'll this country
except by Chinese and a few foolish,
COWS. The former. however, import
them i'm dried condition from their
native land, as they do stale eggs and
other odorous luxuries The Chinese
like to see cucumbers grow and they
often cultivate them in their yards in
appearance of the vegetable does not
brighten the slant-eyed foreigner. as he
would eat with relish green garter
snake if he didn't happen to have any
thing else handy.

THE PERFUMED MIST.
A Peculiar Product Of the Northeast Wine
on Portions of the French Coast

A Peculiar Product of the Northeast Win.
on Portions of the French Coast
On certain parts of the coast of
France, including the channel, mists
occasionally appear which are general
lv called s'perfu1ned nists. - They
come in the morning, especially during
the spring, and, strangely enough.
only when the wind is in the north
east. Sometimes they last only for a
few minutes. at others they hang about
all day They have characteristic
smell similar to that of a limekiln.
The origin Of these mists is mystery.
In one district the inhabitants thought
the smell came from some limekilns
some miles to the northeast, and they
may have been right; but this was not
an explanation of the phenomenon, be-
cause the smell from those inekilns
could not have been carried by north
east wind to all the other places where
the mists were seen and the smell
noticed. In one Of these places the
northeast wind comes from the sea. in
another it comes overland. The smell
does not, therefore. necessarily come
from the ground. During the past few
I weeks the northeast wind has been
very prevalent and the mists frequent.
. The best explanation given is that the
clustering northeast and east winds
sweep up the dust, gases and germs
of the ground over which they pass.
and drive them toward the sea. When
this wind has continued for some time
it contains such a quantity Of these
| things as to affect all our organs. That
is the cause of the complaints which
appear when the east wind blows, and
it may be the cause of those S'perfr1ned

THE ENGLISH WASP PLAGUE,
An Eficacions Method. Of Destroying
Nesfs in the Grnund.

An Eficacions Method. Of Destroying
Nests in the Ground.
The wasp plague continues to cause
great inconvenience in the neighbor-
hood of Dover, England. A curious in
cident happened recently in a village
near Sandwich. A laborer discovered
a wasp's nest, and, struck with the
beauty of it's formation, took it home
and carelessly put it aside. with the OBJ
ject of taking it to u naturalist. The
nest proved to be full of eggs, which
the warmth of the house developed
during the night into hundreds of
wasps. When the family awoke on
Sunday morning the house was swarm
ing with wasps, and the family had to
make their escape as best they could.
Some of them were severely stung.
A correspondent OF the Newcastle
Chronicle writes: It may be of value to
sufferers from the present wasp plague
to know the following simple and most
efficacious method of destroying nests
in the ground Procure from the chem
list some cyanide Of potassium, dissolve
it in water {about four Ounces cyanide
to quart of water), and pour a small
quantity of the mixture into the
mouth of the hole. The result is mar
velous. Wasps returning home enter
to leave no more. Those already at
home remain there permanently. The
work should be done quietly about
midday, when most of the wasps are
out. We have destroyed in the last
ten days about eighteen or twenty
large nests in this way with perfect
success. The cyanide of potassium
should, of course, be handled carefully.

BURIED IN THE SEA.


Have just Been Discovered.
found the submerged city of Cetobriga.
or Troya, as the Portuguese Of to-day
call it, and which is said to have been
built by the Romans on the. site of a
town founded by the Phmnicians. It
was only by accident at the beginning
of the century that the city was dis
covered. A fisher&lan pursuing his
avocation along the coast was aston
ished to see the walls of houses par
TALLY standing and well-paved streets
under the water of the Bay of Sines,
and he soon communicated the wonder
full news to the Inhabitants of Setubal.
On examination they found city in
part submerged and running in toward
the land. A society was formed under
the protection of government to make
Investigations. They found that the
city had stood on a strip of land nine
miles long by three wide. bounded on
the south by the Bay of Sines, on the
north by the river Sado and opposite
it was Setubal. Every old record was
searched, and at length it was surmised
that the new]y-discovered city must
have been Caetobrix or Cetobriga, from
chance notices by old writer's, but
nothing was known Of it's history or
fate. Another city submerged by the
sea for one thousand years has just re-
appeared above the waters. The town
of Hagen. north of Ning-po, in China,
WAS completely overwhelmed during
the Sung dynasty, and lay buried
till quite recently, when the sea
gradually receded and exposed the re-
mains of buildings.

PLAYING WITH AN ICEBERG.
The Remarkable Experience OF Som'
French Sailors.

Fronch Sailors.
A few years ago a French man-Of-
war was lying at anchor in Temple
bay, and the Younger officers took it
into their heads to amuse themselves
with an iceberg, a mile or more distant
in the straits. They would have a
sumptuous picnic on the very top of it.
All the warnings of the brown and
simple fishermen went for nothing
with these gentlemen who had seen
the world
1t was a bright summer morning,
and the jolly boat with flag went off
to the berg. by twelve o'clock the
colors We're flying from the top, and
the wild midshiplnen were reveling
on the ice mountain. For two hours
OF more they hacked it and clambered
over it,. They frolicked and Toasted,
and laughed at the very thought of
danger ON this solid ice.
When, like thoughtless children, the
young men had played themselves
weary, they descended to the cookie
shell of a boat and rowed away.
AS if time and distance had been
measured on purpose for the men TO
view the scene in safety, the great ice
berg lay silent until the boat was a
certain distance off. Then, as if its
heart had been volcanic fire, it burst
with awful thunder, and filed the sur
rounding water with its ruins.
Awed and subued by the scene of de-
struction, and thrilled at their narrow
escape from death. the picnickers re-
turned to their ship. It was their first
and last day of amusement with an
iceberg.

Casual Friends.

Old travellers look back with regret
at the brevlty of some of the best
friendships they ever knew. They best
know the opulence of good fellowship
that is discovered on trains and steam
ers and the heeting character of it.
They find men who are companionable
and entertaining, they take dinner
with them and share bottle in the
dining car, they play eucher and poker
in the smoker, they like them almost
well enough to ask them to their
houses for summer, but these friends
drop off at stations on the way, and
they never know their histories, cir
cumstances and callings, perhaps not
even their names.

AN HISTORICAL SITE,
The Scene of this inspiration of "a Popular
American Lyric.

Among the pretty and historic towns
almost on the borders of Boston lies
Scituate, important, says the Provl~
dence Journal, not only because it con-
tains some of the oldest houses in
Plymouth county, but because it gave
birth to the author Oh. one of the most
popular American lyrics, Samuel Wood
worth, the author Of The Old Oai5en
Bucket"
1t is curious that the name ''Scitu-
ate'' itself is a corruption of the In
dian "Satnit,' or cold brook" from
little stream hardly mile long, which
the first settlers of Scituate found as
refreshing as had the savages before
them. This brook: of course. is not
Woodworth's well. and yet the we'll is
no creation of the poes;, inoaglnatlon.
It can still be seen by the v',alf.'"' to
Scituate. and in it hangs a bucket. the
.. unbound bucket. the moss-covered
bucket. in fact. the very bucket that
inspired the poet. This, indeed, is
what they say in Scituate-and even it
the skeptical incline to doubt that
wooden bucket could Withstand the
wear and tear of a hundred years;
there is no doubt that Samuel Wood
worth, as boy, used to drink from a
similar bucket dipped into this very
same well. Samuel Woodwork was
born in Scituate in 1885. His father,
a soldier of the revolution. owned a
good farm, at present divided. The
old farmhous is no longer standing.
