Danger From Eating Nuts.

Medical men advise that salt should
be taken with nuts, especially when
eaten at night. One time, says writer,
while enjoying visit from an English
man, hickory nuts we're served in the
evening, when my English friend called
for salt, stating that he knew case Of a
woman eating heartily of nuts in the
evening, who was taken violently ILL.
The celebrated Doctor Abernethy was
sent for, but it was after he had become
too fond of his cup, aud he was not in a
condition to go. He muttered, ssSalt,
SALT Of which no notice was taken.
Next morning he went to this place and
she was corpse. He said that had they
given her salt it would have relieved
her; if they would allow him to make an
examination he would convince them.
On opening the stomach the nuts were
found in mass. He sprinkled salt on
this, and Immediately it dissolved. -

A gentleman who stammered from
childhood almost up to manhood gives
very simple remedy for the misfortune:
Go into room where you will be quiet
and alone, get some book that will in
terest but not excite you, and sit down
and read two hours aloud to yourself,
keeping your teeth together. Do the
same thing every two or three days, or
once week if very tiresome, always
taking care to read slowly and distinctly,
moving the lips but not the teeth. Then,
when conversing with others, try to
speak as slowly and distinctly as possible
and make up your mind that you will not
stammer. Well, tried this remedy,
not having much faith in it, must con-
fess, bat willing to do almost anything
to cure myself of such an annoying diff.

circulars Joined together so as to form
very e cd representation of pair of
spectacles. When the hood or crest is
in position its eyes seem to blaze with
an impish lus:re, and the continued hiss
ing gives the very air noisome smell.
According to the best authorities the
cobra never bites while the hood is
closed; and SO long as that particular
is not erected the creature may be ap-
preached and handled with impunity.
Even though the crest be spread, if
the creature continues in sileuee there is
no danger. One hiss, however, is sure
sign that the reptile is angry and search
ing for a victim.-St. Louis Republic.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation:
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,

Hair-Dressing in Central Africa.

During the hot hours of midday,
when all actual labor is suspended in
the village, the natives, urged by van-
ity and national pride, devote great
deal Of time to the arran cement of
their odd but elaborate toilets. Hair
dressing is one of the principal obli-
cations, and constitutes one of the
numerous domestic duties allotted 10
the ssfalr" sex. On areed mat spread
out in some shady corner the woman
sits down, and the man upon whom
the operation is TO be performed re-
clines at full length, resting his head
in her lap. She begins at once to
unplait his hair, and soon has it all
raveled, and then, with coarse
wooden instrument resembling the
head of child's toy rake, she combs
it thoroughly until it is clear of all
entanglements, and stands out all
over the head in a thick bushy mass
six or seven inches deep.
It is now generously CREASED with
oil from the palm nut. The woman
then parts it off into sections, and
very soon the coarse bunch of hair,
cleverly manipulated by her nimble
fingers, is woven down closely 10 the
head. They display a good deal of
ingenuity in forming variety of de-
signs. Sometimes series Of little
plated strands, like rat tails, hang In
a fringe all around the head. Often
solid plaits of Lair about the size of
goats horn are made to stand out
from the head i'll different styles. Two
Of these will appear sprouting from
the top of the head, or one will drop
over the forehead and lie along the
nose. A very popular fashion is to
have roll of hair along each side of
the head. ending in two solid plaits,
which curl over each cheek like Sleeps
horns. Both men and women have
the hair treated in the same way.
The plating operation is also ex-
tended to the mans beard. The mus
tache is removed, and so are tho eye
brows, with razor, which is a small
cheese cutter blade with long slender
handle. This is used somewhat as we
hold pen, and the stnbby hair is
really chiselled off the face. no small
amount of it being dragged out by the
roots. Tribal custom compels its re-
moyal, and the African is SO insensible
to pain that the means employ ed do not
inconvenience him in the least. Often
when undergoing this treatment he
falls asleep, and never betrays any
discomfort. [Harper's Young People

The Hiss and ..spcctaclesg Of the Cobra.

It is remarkable popularity of most
poisonous reptiles that they seem to have
a great reluctance of putting their dead.
ly powers into operation. Before in
ficting the fatal bite the rattlesnak, al
ways gives his note of warning, and the
same may be said of the cobra di ca
pello the most deadly of the many
poisonous reptiles of India. The cobra
warning is unmistakable-he dllates the
crest upon his neck and gives Mss

feet away. The cobra's crest is fexi-

Why Dynamite is a Eigh Explosive.

Dynamite is high explosive because
each molecule of the nitro-gIycerine in it
contains in itself tie elements which pro-
duce explosion, and they are SO nicely
balanced that it takes very little to trans
form them into gas, the sudden expan-
sion Of which is apt to produce disas-
trous consequences. Gunpowder, on the
other hand, is merely mechanical mix
ture of ingredients which must combine
in order to explode, and the grains catch
fire from each other progressively.
