In the Woods.

A gentleman who recently went far INTO

from nowhere, was struck with astonlsh-

Touching the matter of eating, the
stories told by the old chroniclers and his
torians of the abnormal appetites of GER
tain Roman and oriental men OF note fair
ly stagger belief. Gibbon telIsof Soliman,
caliph in the Eighth century, who died Of
indigestion in his camp near Chaicis, in
Syria, just as he was about to lead an
army of Arabs against Constantinople He
had enptied two baskets of eggs and figs,
which he swallowed alternately, and the
repast was finished with marrow and
sugar. In pilgrimage to Mecca the same
caliph had eaten with if1punity. at single
meal. seventy pomegranates, kid, six
fowls and huge quantity of the grapes Of
Tayef.
Such statement would defy belief were
not others of a similar character we'll
avouched Louis XIV could hardly boast
of an appetite as ravenous as Soliman's,
but he would eat at asitting four platefuls
of different soups, whole pheasant, a
partridge, a plateful of salad, mutton
hashed with garlic, two good sized slices
of ham, dish Of pastry and finish with
fruit and swsetmeats. Shade Of Hippo

The Pin in Romance.

Nor has the pin been neglected in ro-
nance. Which Of us has not felt SYM
pathy for the imprisoned man who saved
himself from madness by each day casting
from him three or four pins and breaking
the despairing monotony by seeking for
them in the cells darknesss When at the
expiration of six years freedom papers were
brought to him the messenger found him
on the floor of his cell in earnest search for
one pin that had been twodays missing.
The sequel runs that the prisoners wife
testified her gratitude by having the four
bent and rusted pins set in a brooch, which
she wore and valued more than JEWELS
Table Salt.

How Jew Wa. Put to Death BY Burning.

Among the Jews criminal sentenced to
death by burning was executed in the fol-
lowing manner: A shallow pit, some two
feet deep, was dug in the ground. In this
the culprit was placed, standing upright.
Around his legs earth was shoveled and
battered firmly down until he was fixed up
to his knees in the soil. Movement on the
part of the condemned person was Of course
impossible; but care was taken that the
limbs should not be psinfully constrained.
A strong cord was now brought, and
very soft cloth wrapped around it. This
was passed once around the offenders neck.
Two men then came forward; each grasped
an end of the rope and pulled hard. Suffo-
cation was immediate. AS the condemned
man felt the strain of the cord, and insen-
sibility supervened, the lower jaw dropped.
Into the mouth thus opened lighted wick
was quickly thrown. This constituted the
burning Notes and Queries.

How to Tell whether Bathing is Injurious,

that his bath has done him good. II. on
on the other hand, his skin continues cold

Notwithstanding the brisk rubbing he
gives himself. and for an hour or more
afterward he is weak, dull and languid.
then he may be tolerably certain that there

Cable. Furnish something to ralk Aboa,

Cables Furnish Something to Talk About.
The five big electric cables that are
stretched over the Brooklyn bridge are a
more fruitful topic Of popular discussion
than the weather, and cause more eontro-
versies than politics. On moderate COM
putation about thirty citizens Of Brooklyn
fall out every day about them The ques-
ton is what they are covered with.
The cables are laid side by side on wooden
supports in the open space between the
railroad tracks. They are of one uniform
dark grayish color from end to end At
the tower, where they begin. there are
joints wiped with solder in true plumber
style, and then you are certain the casing
of the cable is lead pipe. A little bit fur
Their TN ths eoTering is wrinaled and
scanned, and then you are sure IL is painted
cloth like the aerial cables in the street.
Next you observe some scratches appars
emily showing fresh lead underneath; Sc
then you lean to the pipe theory again.
After this are a lot more Of wrinkles and
just when you are satisfied that it is cloth
after all, you get to the middle of the
bridge. where there are more joints neatly
wiped" with solder and you swing back
to the pipe platform. This sort of thing
lasts until you get to the end of the bridge
and the cable sinks from sight.
/ One pleasant circumstance about it is
that no matter which view you take of II
your friend will always take the other
The cables never look the same to two per.
sons. If you are convinced it's cloth the
other man Is cock sure it's lead, and when
you think it's lead he is ready to swear it's
