How to Run Fast.

In the mountainous villages OF Ger.
many the letter carriers are the hardest
worked people in the country. They
carry all the mail and are compelled to
90 at the rate of about five miles an
hour. You know that in running even
a short distance you quickly get "out of
breath" as you say. The German letter
carriers, TO avoid this shortuess of
breath, carry quill in the mouth so
that the air caunot be so rapidly ex-
PEELED from the lungs. II boys who
want to become "sprinters, or very fast
runners, will practice carrying some
thing in the mouth when running, they
will find that they eau soon run a long
time without losing breath. They must
be very careful, though, not to swallow
what they are carrying in the mouth.
And they must be such careful runners
that they will not fall. Very young
sprinters would do well to walt awhile
before trying to become champions.

Frozen in a Hospital.

It seems to be a tacitly understood
principle in England that one who is not
robust enough to resist the eff ,cts Of cold
is not 6t to survive, and any attempt to
keep public places reasonably warm in
the winter is seldom made. A public
hospital is the last place in the world,
one would think, that could do without
heat, but it is reported that child was
actually frozen to death the other day in
the waiting room of Guys Hospital, one
OF the most famous institutions o. Lon.
don. The child was sick with t6ething,
aud the mother took it 10 the hospital
to sec the doctor. She had to Nait five
hours in the cold till her turn came, and
when the doctor finally did see the baby,
he found it in the last stages of freezing
to death. An inquest was held, aud
there has been much talk about cold
waiting rooms, but 50 far as heard from
no stove has been put up 10 thar one, -

The New York Tribune maintains that
there has been no revolution in the pro-
duction OF cotton since Whitney in-
vented the gin and took the seeding"
of it out of the hands of the old women
and chiidrei. Now, however, there is
q prospect OF another great change.
Over 600 machines have been invented
in the last twenty years for picking the
cotton from the boil, aud all have failed
to give satisfaction. But still another is
to be tested, aud cotton men believe it
will be successful. 1t will pick, it is
said, 10, 900 pounds day. An ordiu-
AIRY field hand can pick of the short
staple about $50 pounds day, aud of
the e'long staple about $50, so that the
new machine will do the work of about
forty men. Fifty cents hundred pouads
is considered fair wages in the cotton
belt. The machine, therefore, will earn
$50 day.

1t is said that when native of Hawaii
wishes to give evidence of his sorrow
at the loss of a kinsman he goes to some
secluded spot aud endeavors to knock out
one of his front teeth. In case it is his
maiden effort at mourning, relates the
Atlanta Constitution, the bereaved not
unfrequently bungles the job, aud on
looking over the debris often finds that
he has knocked out couple or more.
II the griet stricken party, however, lacks
the nerve or distrusts his proves to
accomplish the tooth's displacement, a
dear and obliging frieni is always at
hand to offer his assistance. AS result
of this custom man of middle age is
often short so many teeth that gastronom.
ers are embarrassed III eating their
food. American dentists will do land

States annexes the islands.

The Courage of Elepha nts.

They will submit day day after day to
have painful wounds dressed in obedi-
ence TO their keeper, and meet danger in
obedience to orders, though their intel
ligence is sufficient to understand the
peril, aud far too grea, for man to trick
them into belief that it is non .ex stent,
No animal will face danger more readily
at mans bidding. AS au instance take
the following incident, which recently
occurred in India and was communicated
to the writer. A small female elephant
was charged by buffalo in high grass,
and her rider, in the hurry of the mo-
ment and perhaps owing to the sudden
stopping of the elephant, fired an ex-
plosive she'll from his rifle, not into the
buffalo, but into the elephants shoulder.
The wound was so severe that it bad not
healed year later. Yet the elephant
stood firm, although it was gored by the
buffalo, which was then killed by an
other gun. What is even more strange
is that the elephant was not "gun.shy"
afterward. .-Loudon Spectator.

For the lover firelight heightened
Every blush with ardor bold,
And her locks OF brown were Frightened

Gleeful from a dusky corner
Grinned an idol gray with age;
And methought his dark lips mutteredr
What l longed TO there avow:

Then there fell silence sweeter
Than when air is stirred with song,
Than when strains iu mellow meter
Swing with rhythmic sweep along.
In her eyes a look beguiling
Bade me not to break the spell,
Something told me in her smiling
All was we'll.
Slowly grew the freight DINNER
Till the angles of the room,
