no religious superstitions tho practices

thing being greater than himself. He
represents the old-time Laplander.
They were, and such of them as remain,
are utterly devoid of a~py'sentiment Of
any kind. They are as stoical as a
sphinx. Nothing moves them. Angry
they seldom are, and a smile on their
faces is as rare as the sun in their Ice
clad homes. The family ties among
these old-time people which King Bull
represents are not cemented by affec-
tion, but held more in the light Of
property, as a farmer in this country
would consider his pillow.

Persian Needle. Work.

The difference between Persian and
the needle.work we are accustomed to
zee seems to lie in the thoroughness
sincerity, an artist would call it
of the former. Every stitch is taken
with mathematical precision, and there
is no sighting at any point. The
wrong side Of the work is as admirable
L1 its way as the right side. In some
specimens the stitches cover the design
on both sides, the needle being carried
across underneath, as it is in the en-
eidering Of China Grape shawls. On
other pieces the needle is put back
toward the wrong side close by the
place it was drawn through, thus
throwing all the work up on the right
side and leaving what looks like beau
tifully regular ~outline-work on the re-
verse. This is the method used in
working sofa pillows, table covers, or
anything which only exposes one side.
But for curtains, handkerch1efs,
shawls, etc, the double-faced en-
broidery is invariably used.
A favorite method of this Persian
worker is the introduction of texts or
sentences upon the border or centre OF
her pieces. The lettering isso quaint,
angular, and disconnected that at the
first look it seems like q geometrlc
pattern. On one white linen table
cover, heavily worked in fowei and
foliage with gray silk, was boreer OF

The largest spider of the world is the
migale of Central America, which, with

The only two FOODS which contain all
the substances necessary to human life
are said to be milk and the yoke OF

these two foods.
In New Zealand q species of parrot
is found that, finding its food entirely
on the ground, has lost its power Of
fight. It differs from the rest of the
family only in this particular and in
being almost voiceless.
A submarine vessel named Gustave
Zede has been launched at Toulon,
France. Its movements resemble those
Of a swimming whale. It is easily sub
merged when required and the naval
experts present declared it a complete
success.
The telephone has lately been
arranged fot the use Of divers. Asheet
of copper is used in place Of the glasses
in the helmet, and to this e telephone
is fixed, SO that the diver, when at the
bottom of the sea, has only to slightly
turn his head in order to report what
he sees OF to receive instructions from
above.
A rat of the mountain streams Of
central Peru enjoys the distinction Of
being the only rodent that utterly
| discards a vegetable diet and
lives wholly on fish. The animal
has been named Icthomys Stolz-
manni, and the only known specimen
was obtained by a Polish collector in
1891 and has been placed in the British
Museum.
A technical paper gives the following
rule for determining the number OF
tons of rails required to lay a mile of
track: Multiply the weight per yard
by eleven and divide the product by
seven. For example,: Take a seventy
pound rail; seventy multiplied by
eleven equals ITO, which divided by
seven gives 10, the number of tons
(of 2240 pounds each) required to the
mile.
Doctor Gallipe reportsto the French

state they produce no bad effects.
When the system becomes diseased the

family, as they are entirely destitute
Of feathers, having for q covering a

ployed by the Walter L. Main circus, and
at present in charge Of the animals at the
Wonderland musee, was the victim of
thrilling occurrence Sunday apd had
miraculous escape from being crushed in
the coils OF Il boa constructor. Saturday he
burned a sore out Of the mouth OF the rep
tile, causing ii intense pain. About noon
Sunday he opened the cage and took out
the snake for the purpose of examining the
sore. The reptile at once coiled itself
around Bannon's body and neck, pinioning
Lis arms down to his sides. Tighter and
tighter coiled the suake, and Bannon be-
came unconscious J. ID. Harrison tried to
pry it off the mans neck with an iron bar,
but the snake turned ON him. He then
opened his knife and cut the reptiles
throat.
