Arab norsemen n rrhibition.

The great delight Of the Arab horseman
IS the fantasiya The entries contain all
manner of horsemen, armed and unarmed,
who ride more or less wild figures TO more
or less monotonous drumming music, and
who end by the most excited and exciting
pot pourri of feat riding. They stand in
their stirrups and throw their guns in the
air, whirl them about in the most approved
warlike style and fire them at intervals in
what seems am uncalled for and dangerous
fashion They rear, wheel, kick, buck,
rush, stop, turn and twist their horses like
so many tumblers, shouting meanwhile,
Yelling, screaming like so many devils No
picture can do justice to the Kaleidoscope
fervor and wildness Of the scene If there
are many riders engaged in it. It is a seeth-
ing whirlpool of wild, unmeaning half
merry, half 'fanatical excitement, in which
no end Of excellent horsemanship comes to
the fore.
From time TO time the riders stop and
rank themselves for a rest on one side, then
ont come individuals toshow what, single,
their steeds can do, They pirouette and
piafTer and dance, and then make a rush at
fun gallop to one or other side, stop sud
denly and wheel about. There is no specific
art in what they do; each man has trained
his horse on his own unframed ideas. They
have a close seat, clinging with their heels,
and exhibit great deal of skill in their
gyratory exercises, but once so... s.fe IAN
tasiya loses its interest. All semiwild ma
tions do about the same tricks on horse
back. think our Indian easily eScels them
all, while nothing have ever seen in fam
tasiyas in the faintest degree approaches in
delicacy and difficulty the fine work Of a
school trained horse in the hands Of

A hangman struggling with his con-
science and financial embarrassment is a
spectacle touching enough TO rouse the sym
patby of the most callous occupant Of the
condemned cell Mr. Berry, after discharg-
ing for some time, with credit to himself
and satisfaction to his patients, the duties
Of public executioner, suddenly ysFesigned to
become lecturer against capital punish
ment and the author of a treatise on the
same subject Inneither capacity has fnan-
cial success attended bis efforts, and he has
now written to the undersheriffs Of Lon
don and the provinces, earnestly pleading
for a share in any executions Of which they
have the patronage.
II always held" he says, good and
trusted positions before / was hangman.
Now the public are afraid to engage me-
such is the stigma on the person who holds
such an office My wife has completely
broken down in health with worry and
trouble of the affair My daughter, II
years of age, have had to bring away
from the Sevenoaks hospital in Kent, ow-
ing to my embarrassment and financial
difficulty I am now ruined. My home
was a happy one before, but now nothing
looks bright"
Under such circumstances he asks the
sherins TO give him a fresh start, and
should they honor him with q share Of their
hanging he assures them that every move
will be kept strictly private, and they will
never see his name mentioned afterward.
The case is a sRd one. If Mr. Berry could

1 think il is evident that the proper de
velopment and expansion of the lungs by
means of well regulated breathing must be
regarded as Of the greatest value in the pre-
vention and in the treatment OF the inac-
tive stages Of pulmonary consumption. The
more simple the method the more effective
and practical viii be the results which flow
from il. Among the many exercises which
are recommended for this purpose the fol-
lowing movements are very valuable. The
arms. being used as levers, are swung back
ward as far as possible on a level with the
shoulders during each inspiration and
brought together in front ON the same level
during each expiration, or the hands are
brought together above the head while in
spring and gradually brought down along
side the body while expiring. A deep breath
must be taken with each inspiration and
held until the arms are gradually moved for
ward or downward, or longer in order to
make both methods fully operative.
Another very serviceable chest exercise is
to take a deep inspiration, and during ex-
piration in n loud voice count or sing as
long as possible. A male person with a
good chest capacity can count up to 60 or
50, while in q female, even with good lungs,
this power is somewhat reduced. Practice
of this sort win slowly develop the lungs,
and the increased ability to count longer is
a measure of the improvement going on
within the chest. Or, again, the taking OF
six or eight full and deep breaths in success
sion every hour during the day, either
while sitting at work or while walking
out in the open air. will have a very bene-
fetal effect.-Dr. Thomas j. Mays in Cen
tury.

Hard Times story.

A man entered a pawnbr9ker's shop in
the Bowery, and laying dS5wn a $50 bill
asked if he could be aceesSmodated with
81 on it. The pawnbroket ~ excellent
Judge Of money and saw AZ one that the
bin was genuine. So he turned and said to
the stranger, showing the bill toward him
as he spoke, that he was in no mood for
nonsense. But the stranger showing the
bill back, rejoined in earnest tones that he
meant business; that he couldn't get any
conductor on horse car to change the bill;
that he had already been put of three cars;
that his boots were awful tight, and that
unless he could get 81 on the bill he would
be compelled to walk to the Battery. Well,
the pawnbroker couldn't but feel that the
stranger meant what he said. So ne took
up the SO bill, toyed with it a few mo-
ments and then said to him, well, my

Prince Runert,s DROPS.

The most wondrous wonder Of the glass
makers art is the result of a philosophical
experiment and is known to scientists as
prince Rupert's drop" These glass drops
known by princes name are simply the
diippings of molten glass pear or tadpole
shaped, their curious properties being the
result Of their being suddenly glazed and
the pores covered by comiugin contact with
water when at a white heat One Of these
drops" can be removed from the water
and smartly hammered upon the larger
end without causing fracture, but if the
smaller end has but the slightest atom
clipped from its surface the whole object
instantly bursts with explosive violence
and disappears as fine dust
The theory of this phenomenon is that its
particles when in fusion are in state Of
repulsion, but upon being dropped into the
water its superlices are annealed and the
atoms return into the power of each others
attraction, the inner particles, still in a
state of repulsiOn, being confined within
their outward covering.-St. Louis Repub-

The eyes Of deep sea fish are Very variedi
some have neither eyes nor eight; Others
have greatly enlarged eyeballs, so as "a
catch the least glimpse Of light. Their
eyes tend either to disappear or to be un-
usually efficient, but siRce no trace of sun
light can penetrate to'any great depth, and
it is probably quite dark beyond a depth
of some 200 fathQfns, of what use can eyes
be2
Fish have been captured at a depth Of
nearly 1900 fathoms, where there must be
not only absolute stiffness, but also total
darkness, except for the fact that some Of
these deep sea creatures are phosph horescent
and therefore luminous This fact was first
ascertained in the Challenger expedition.
Since then, Mr.. Alcock of the Indian ma
rine survey has found that some deep sea
crustaceans have q similar power, one large
prawn quite lighting up a buclSetful Of
water in which it was placed. Fish with
large eyes have therefore a better chance Of
finding food and mates, but they cannot
wholly depend upon sight, since some have
quite abandoned all ATTEMPTS to see.
Some again, nave luminous organs on
their head or body or tail, which are under
control, so that they can actually throw
light at pleasure on their prey or eXtin-
euish it in times of danger Thus the an
gler, among others, attracts its prey by
means Of these colored lures or phosphores-
cent lights.-Chambers' Journal.

There has recently died q we'll known
character of this neighborhood known as
"Aunt Masie Huggins,a or the snake wu-

snakes as her only friends. She had built
herself a hovel, composed OF branches Of
trees. clay and other debris, which, though
often washed down by the rains, She would
build up again This novel residence is
said to have been fairly alive with snakes

near her cabin, which she cultivated her

chased the few things she required. she was

any conversation with any human being.
She codld often be met after dark walking
through the town with her strange COM
panions twined about her arms, her neck
and nestliug ia her bosom, with their ugly
heads protruding, kissing at every one that
passed.
On these occasions, however. when hailed
or questioned she would make 40 reply
once some hNNS OF TIC lltlAtNl H+NffA-
int ABOUT her cabin found several Of the
snakes on the outside and killed them, and
before they were aware Of it Aunt Masie
appeared in the doorway armed With ashot-
gun, which She let fly at the crowd. None
of the boys was killed, but one Of them
was shot through the ear, and the rest scat
tered in a hurry. That the woman's mind
was affected there seems little doubt. Her
only son while ont hunting in the woods
was bitten by rattlesnake, and days aft
erward his swollen and discolored body
was found. This appeared to craze his
mother. who left her home saying the
the snakes were calling her to come and
live with them and that they would give
her back her boy.
She is said to have come Of a good fam
lily and to have been we'll educated. When
discovered, she had been dead for days, and
-the snakes were crawling over the body,
but fled on tle appearance OF strangers and

queer adopted family it has been estimated
that there must have been at least 200 Of

to have charmed them, as the saying goes,
but it is probable that her perfect fearless
ness tanned them.-Okolona (Aiiss) Cor.
