Hfifthiy and finally" section OF the ais
course had been reached. The Indian
housekeeper, unaccustomed to such an
innovation, and being regular in her
hours of retiring, after several vigor-
GUS yawns stood up in her place IN the
ssmeetin' house," and raising up her
right hand exclaimed in broken Eng
lish: DHome! me sleepy" The effect
was electrical; the sermon was cut
short and the congregation soon dis
missed. and short sermons are said TO
be in order since that day at Olney.
DANGER IN PuNGENT DOORS.
Smelling Salts Injurious to the Olfactory
Nerves and Cause Of Deafness.
Every one does not know that aro-
matte salts and very strong, pungent
odors are injurious to the nerves OF
smell and often produce serious II not
incurable difficulties. 1t is well under
stood says a writer in the Philadel-
phia Times, that certain scents start
the action of the secretory glands OF
the nose and throat, and often the eyes
fill up with tears. Frequent indul-
pence in the use of such perfumes will
soon overtask the secretory organs
and weaken them. Some day the per-
son observes that the hearing is less
acute than usual and the sense OF
smell seems defective. This is OF
course accredited to cold or some
similar cause and but little is thought
Of it. After time the entire head be-
comes affected, hearing and smell are
almost if not entirely lacking, and
there are throat and lung complica-
lions which are likely to end in chronic,
| if not fatal, illness. 1t has taken the
medical world great many years to
discover that loss of hearing is almost
invariably caused by some disease OF
the throat or nose, or both. But very
recent researches in these fields have
| demonstrated this fact beyond ques-
| ton. and it is now admitted by the
most advanced medical men that, aside
| from rupture of the ear drum, there is
scarcely a symptom of defective hear
ing which is not traceable directly TO
| the condition of the nose and throat.
| In view of the new discoveries ear spe-
cialists are finding their occupations
! gone, save as they make their partlcu-
| lar branch an assistant in further IN
vestigation. 1t is said that the use OF
|. smelling salts is one of the most pro-
life causes of deafness, operating by
weakening the olfactory nerves, and
through them the auditory system.
All strong or pungent odors should be
avoided as far as possible, especially
those which act upon the secretory
processes, and, as the popular express
| sion goes, make the nose run"

WATER CATS.
Many Sportsmen of the Nile Train Puss
to Become an Expert Fisher

Many sportsmen of the Nile Train Puss
to Become an Expert Fisher
Though it seems somewhat difficult
to understand how the sportsmen of
the Nile trained their cats not only to
hunt game, but to retrieve it from the
water. the hunting scenes depicted on
the walls of Thebes afford proof of the
Egyptian cats service in this re-
spect.
In one of these representations, says
the Boston Globe, puss is depicted in
the act of setting bird that has been
brought down by the marksman in
the boat; while in another scene the
cats are seen in the boat ready for their
work.
Thus, it appears, from these ancient
illustrations of field and other sports,
that the Egyptians were able to train
their domestic cats to act in the same
way as our modern retriever dogs do.
1t is generally supposed that nothing
will induce cat to enter water, but
this is clearly a fallacy. like many
other popular notions about the animal
world.
The tiger is an excellent swimmer, as
nanv have found to their cost; and so
the cat. another member of the tiger
family, can swim equally well if it has
any occasion to exert its powers, either
in quest of prey or to effect its escape
! from some enemy.
AS cats are exceedingly fond of fish,
they will often drag them alive out OF
their native element whenever they get
| the chance.
They have even been known to help
themselves uout of aquaria that have
been left uncovered, and on moon
light nights they may be seen watching
for the unwary occupants OF a fish
pond, during the spawning season es-
] peciallY.

How They Repaid Sir Robsrt Walpoies
Kindness.


Kindness.
Before the war of the revolution
England populated some of her Ameri-
can colonies with convicts and paupers
A resident of Detroit finds in the tat
tered pages of an old book, published
one hundred years ago, the following
reference to the Objectionable practice;
When Sir Robert Walpole was prime
minister of England he sent shipload
OF convicts to be distributed between
Pennsylvania and Virginia, and notl-
fed DR.. Franklin, who was the repre-
sentative or commissioner, to look after
the American interests. The doctor,
in response, wrote him expressing the
thanks of the colonies for the maternal
care of Great Britain for her colonies
SO strongly manifested, and that, as an
expression of American gratitude, he
had the honor to inform him that he
had this day sent him by the return
shin collection of rattlesnakes, and
would respectfully suggest that he
have them introduced into his najestys
.garden at Kew, in order that they
might propagate and increase, at the
same time assuring his excellency that
they would be as beneficial to his
maiesty's English dominions as British
conyicts were to his American posses

Taking No Chances.

Among the strange superstitions
that affect the southern negroes is a
belief that it is dangerous to approach
closely to or stay long near a dead
body. A colored servant in Washing
ton who went to funeral was asked
on her return if she saw the corpse.
She replied: Deed, honey, d'you s'pose
I'd go near enough to take dat dead
mans breff?"
