Fairhaven herald. [volume] (Fairhaven, Wash.) 1890-????, 1893-06-10

The rhinoceros Is IA beast oflegendary and
mythical associations as well as of stern
reality In the mythology of all the old
world he figures very cOnspicuously, being
worshiped as a god by the early Javanese
tribes and lauded as the builder of the earth
and the heavens by several East African
peoples The old Jewish Talmud declares
that his skin is folded as IA result Of having
been exposed 40 days and 40 nights in the
waters OF the food. The waters of the
great deluge were hot, according to Ia
bari, where we read: After that Noah sent
forth the dove. The dove departed and
without tarrying put her feet in the water.
The waters Of the food were hot, and they
scalded and picked the legs of the dove.
1t was hot and briny, and feathers would
not grow on her legs any more, and the skin
scaled off. Now, doves which have red and
featherless legs are of the sort which Noah
sent forth"
This is only cited for authority to prove
why the skin Of the rhinoceros lays in folds
and ridges. Certainly il the waters were
hot enough TO pickle and scald" doves
legs at the moment of contact, they would
make the skin of a rhinoceros too large for
him in the course of 40 daysi
But" you say, why was he exposed in
the waters Of the great deluge while all the
other beasts were safely housed in the ark ?"
Simply because he was too large to be put
aboard the great lifeship. The bulk of the
old rabbinic writers agree that the rhino-
ceros foated along with the ark, but they
disagree as to how the floating operation
was performed. Louis Republic.

The European sojourning in Japan is par
ticularly affected through his nervous sys-
TEN and his respiratory organs as a result
Of the humidity and the abrupt changes of
temperature. In regard to the respiratory
apparatus it appears that the number of
movements is augmented, and the tension
Of the aqueous vapor being very great that
Of the oxygen is diminished with resulting
reduction in haematosis, thus opening the
door to all maladies through depression of
nutrition-from rheumatism and diabetes
to govt and anemia, which are everyday
diseases in Japan. Contrary, in fact, to the
general notion, central Japan possesses a
climate exceedingly favorable to the devel-
opment of anemia
Further, the climate of Japan, through
its fervid heat, depresses the nervoussystem
hence diminution Of physical activity, en-
feeblement of the cerebral faculties, follow
ed by apathy, somnolence and complete
prostration of the powers In order TO avoid
the pernicious influence Of the climate IL is
recommended that the foreigner spend the
summer at the north, say at Yeso or in the
north OF Nippon, where the climate is dry
and invigorating Otherwise the disad-
vantages named will too certainly be ex-
perienced. York Tribune.

II was unlucky enough in my infancy to
have had an uncle who was a miser, and
what is still more exasperating, who had
money" said Harold MacComber This
uncle died when | was Is years old and
willed considerable of personal and realty
possessions to his relatives. Being one Of
not more than three nephews and two
nieces, he willed me his old homestead, an
uncouth looking affair, but one that was
fairly valuable for its location in c.
Now, then, the fact that my uncle was
miser preyed upon my mind to such an ex
tent that l did not rest well. / had an
aching suspicion that my uncle had stored
up his money in some box and buried it, or
sewed it in some sack and used it for pill
low, or did something else with it equally
incongruous. When l attained my major
ity, l resolved that would find that money
il 1t was in the old homestead, and could
think of no place else SO appropriate or 80
liable to contain it, spent any number of
days ransacking that old place, looking
high and low for the hidden wealth.
II sounded the wall for hidden closets and
tapped every inch of the floor to obtain a
dull sound of extra resistance examined
the fireplace, the garnet and the cellar, but
to no purpose. | did not find the supposi-
titious wealth. | crawled under the house
later and examined the floor and ground
without results. Then bethought myself
of the cistern, and planned at once to have
1t emptied In this cistern there was a
double floor or base, and between the two
found a Theoretically sealed case which
contained some literary illusions and a
number of old family trinkets Of gold. but
no money. The last discovery Disguised me,
and concluded that my uncle was not a
miser after all, but only much over esti-
mated old crank. Since then | have slept
better st Louis Globe Democrat.
