Clever Catches.

A young lady was once talking with a
very young and very smart man, who was
inclined TO air his knowledge of the Ian
guages little beyond what she felt that
modesty required. She therefore said to
him, with an air of Difference to his supe-
rior attainments:
You are Latin scholar. wish you
would tell me how to pronounce the word
sometimes
The youth, with an air of kindly patron
age, replied, ii have not met the word in
my Latin reading, but should have no
hesitation in saying that it should be pro
nounced sometimes (giving it in four
syllables, the accent on the second).
THANK you for telling me-" replied the
girl demurely. Il have always heard it
pronounced sometimes, but if you say the
other way, that must be right"
This is similar to the perhaps familiar
catch of the pronunciation of "bac-kac-he,"
which will often surprise the unintiated
by proving to be only backache. 1t also
reminds one Of question printed some
years since, as to the way of spelling
"need"-tO need bread The average per-
son will reply "k-n-e-a-d of course" but
the answer will be, that is the way to
spell knead dough, but not to need bread"

AT the military parade small boy from
the country, who had scarcely ever heard
martial music, turned suddenly, putting
his hand on his heart.
1T makes me feel so queer here" he
said, the tears standing in his eyes.
"You are ill'" inquired his anxious
guardian.
mo. think like it," he gasped.
The untutored lisping of the boy of the
pleasure that is nigh akin to pain describes
the effect of music, frequently more seri-
Gus to impressionable people. A physician
has said that it is question if on great
public occasions it is not the effect of
music, saying to the soul the things un-
utterable, that is responsible for sudden
illness, Paintings, Mysteries and calls for
the ambulance. These physiological eff
fects he traces through the emotions. The
fountains of the deep get broken up The
troubling of the emotions disturbs the Sc.
cretions, there is an uneasy stir, it in
creases into an excitement, there is a call
for a policeman, the crowd presses right
and left to make way for the bearers of a
PROSTATE form, and it is all the fault of
the band.-New York Evening Sun.

The needle is one Of the most ancient
implements or instruments of which we
have any record. The old time needles
were unlike the modern luxury, they hav-
ing been made of wood, bronze. bone, etc,
and without eyes, a circular depression at
the blunt end having been so fashioned as
to enable it TO carry the thread. Pliny de-
scrihes the needles Of bronze which were
used by the ancient Greeks and Romans,
and since his day similar Instruments have
been found in comparative abundance both
at Herculaneum and Pompeii The first
account of the manufacture of white
iron," or steel Leedles, says that they were
made at Nuremberg, in l46O, and, while
the exact date is in doubt. they are said to
have been made in Britain as early as 1915.
The account further adds that the first
needles manufactured in England were
made by Spanish negro, who died with
out having taught any one his art
During the reign of Elizabeth the indus
try was revived, and, strange to say, also
by foreigner-a native of India The
forerunner of the present great Redditch
needle mandatory was established by
Christopher Greening and a Mr.. Damer in
1850 Many unsuccessful attempts were
made to bring out the drilled eye" needle
before it was finally introduced in 1926.
Two years later the Furnishing machine"
with which the eyes of needles are highly
polished was completed. In this ma
chine, which is very simple, the needles
are all strung on wire, which revolves
rapidly, thereby imparting beautiful
finish to the eye.-St. Louis Republic.

Animal Color.

In experiments on the influence of food
and surroundings on the color of animals,
Mr.. +. B. Poulton reared caterpillars of
the pepper moth under different condi-
tiOns. Those confined among green leaves
and twigs became green, those having
black or brown twigs mingled with their
food were brown or black, and others were
turned light colored by white paper. With
artificial colors red and blue tended to
produce dark coloration, though very
strangely, painted twigs had not the same
effect as those with the same natural tints
1t was shown that the sensory stimulus
producing the change did not act through
the eye, but through the skin, and con.
sisted of the formation of definite pig
ment, being therefore slower than in the
chameleon and frog, and capable of modi-
flying the color of a caterpillar only once
or twice in its lifetime-Ohio State Jour

The Wonder of All Wonders

Sarah Jessop, of this place, was one of
the most wonderful of Georga's many
natural freaks. She was Il colored woman,
and when | saw her last had 2-inch
iron cylinder passing through her breast.
When Sarah was very small this passage
appeared as simple dent or cicatrice At
the age of six years it was sufficiently large
to admit the thumb of an adult and eX-
tended entirely through the child's body.
AT later period-about the age of thir-
teen, | believe-a local physician inserted
a metal tube as protection to the girls
internal anatomy. When the size of the
cavity or passage increased the cylinders
loosened and dropped out, whereupon
larger ones were regularly inserted. When
Sarah died from other causes), at the age
of twenty-three, the cylinder was frac-
tion over two inches in diameter and passed
through her breast between the lungs,
coming out at the junction of the shoulder
blades.-Augusta (Ga.J Cor. st. Louis

The Chinese Way.

In its war with England and France in
1890 China was easily conquered and
forced to II humiliating peace. The Peking
Gazette, the official organ of the govern
ment, however, reported the following con-
cerning that treaty Of peace:
AS the western barbarians have admit
ted their wrongs and humbly solicited for
peace, the emperor in his infinite goodness
has granted their prayer, and, moreover,
has made them present of large sum of
money Indemnity of war; to enable them
to begin an honest life, so that they may
not again be driven to murder and rapine.

Fifth Century Authors.

Herophilus, one of the Alexandrian
school, wrote a treatise on the practice Of
medicine, on obstetrics, on the eye, and on
the pulse, which he correctly referred to
the movements Of the heart. He was
aware of the existence Of the lacteals and
of their anatomical relations to the mesen-
teric glands. Erasistratus-his colleague
and pupil of Theophrastus and Chrysip-
pus-was aware of the nature Of the heart
and its connection with the veins and ar
teries, but he fell into the error that the
veins were for the conveyance of air and
the arteries for that Of blood. Otherwise
he anticipated Harvey's great discovery.
He knew also that there were two kinds Of
nerves-those of motion and those of sensa-
tion. Review.

Some years ago Willie Blair, the queens
fiddler" was playing at a ball which the
Prince of Wales had given to the domes-
tics connected with Abergeldie castle. The
dancers had been rather exacting in their
demands upon the musician, and Willie
was in no very amiable mood when the
prince himself entered the room unob-
served by the fiddler, and stepping up be-
hind him said, play up the Lock of For
far Willie" The old man, without look
ing round, and thinking it was one of the
servants, growled in response, AYE, an
wish you were a drooned in itr' The
prince laughed as heartily as anybody at
the mistake-a good deal more so than the
tiddler.-Scottsh American

TENNYSCN.

Beyond the sunset he hath gone at last;
Palsied the pen, silent the silver tongue.
Finished the tender, fearful songs he sung,
The martial note that like bugle rung,
Whose echoes sound from out a fading past.
o cruel years, o years that speed so fast,
Taking the choicest and the best Of ours,
Stealing life's summers and its sweet hearts
flow'rs,
Crushing the pearls that are before us cast;
Thus from our century, ere we turn the page,
a spirit goeth, one who moved our moods
From Crimean charges to the peace which
broods
Der sunlit meadows and in twilight woods
The altruistic genius of our age.

Breathing OF Insects.

Insects generally breathe through spe-
cial pores in various parts of their body,
and if these pores are closed by oil they
are suffocated. Any one may test this by
dropping sweet oil on the thorax or back
of wasp 1t very soon dies. For this rea-
son oil has been found one of the best
things to use for the destruction Of in
sects.-London Tit-Bits.
