working Days of the World.

''The Working Days of Different
Nations" forms the subject of some
interesting data given by a Polish
statistician. Orthodox Russia, with
her numerous saints days and secu-
lar holidays, naturally stands at the
head of the list as the least laborious
of civilized nations.
The names of the countries enum-
Grated, with the number of their sta
tutory working days, are thus given:
Interior Russia, 267; Canada, 256;
Scotland, 275; England, 27S; Portu-
gal, 2S3; Russian Poland, 2SS; Spain,
29O; Austria and the Russian Baltic
provinces, 295; Italy, POS; Bavaria,
Belgium, Brazil and Luxembourg,
300; Saxony, France, Finland, Wur-
temberg, Switzerland, Denmark and
Norway. 3O2; Sweden, 3O4; Prussia
and Ireland, 305; United States, 3O6;
Holland, 3OS, and Hungary, 312.
If these figures be approximately
correct, they are, to say the least of
them, not little surprising. While
the orthodox Russian, who knows
his saints calendar by heart, is the
least laborious, the Hungarian car
ries the honors for unremitting in
dustry if he indulge in only one days
relaxation exclusive of the whole
years Sundays. -Lodz Gazette.

Cause of insomnia.

Now, it happens in this stirring age
of ours that men, and women, too,
are SO much Intellectually worked or
so emotionally disturbed that their
brains have more to do than they
can accomplish and yet preserve their
normal balance.
Mental work, whether it be simply
perceptional, intellectual, emotional
or volitional, requires that an in
creased amount of blood shall flow
to the brain; hence during mental
exertion of any kind the cerebral
vessels become distended, owing to
the increased volume of blood they
contain, and they remain in this con
dition as long as the exertion is con
tinued. If it is too intense, or if it
be persevered in for too long a period
without there being alternations of
rest, the vessels lose~their contract
bility and remain in permanently
enlarged state. They are therefore
not able to contract SO as to produce
sleep. A state of cerebral congestion

result.
Such persons go to bed, perhaps
feeling as if they would sleep, but no
sooner do their heads touch their pill
lows than their minds become inordi-
nately active, and they lie awake hour
after hour recalling the events of the
day, or else indulging in the most
preposterous thoughts. The blood
vessels will not empty themselves,
simply because they have lost the
power to do so. They are like the in
dia rubber bands that we put around
big packages and leave undisturbed
for long time We try to use them
again, and we find that the elasticity
which they once possessed has gone.

Spelling In Dreams.

That incorrect spelling may be said
to be inherent in the understanding
seems to be proved by the fact that
when bad spoilers see Inscriptions or
written sentences in their dreams
the words are misspelled as they
would misspell them. A notoriously
bad speller once related that he had
seen in dream a great black. cat
with collar round his neck bear
ing the inscription, ''King Solomon's
Cat"
'That is very interesting, said
friend, who was curious to see if by
any chance correct photography had
been revealed to the dreamer along
with his vision. won't you please
write that sentence down for me, Just
as you saw it on the cats collar2"
The dreamer took a pencil and
wrote, 'sKing Solaman's Catte."-

neaf Man at the onera.

When opera was running in New
York, there was no more attentive
member of the audience than a
slight, fair man, who was perfect in
dress and had a pleasant suavity OF
manner. He was always present
with his wife, but it was noticed that
they rarely talked together, and he
never seemed to take offense, as SO
many of the audience used to do, at
the talking and laughter in the
boxes. He was stone deaf. He en-
joyed color and dancing and pictur
esque groupings, and he went to the
opera to see it. He could sometimes
get the gist of sentence by watch
ing the lips Of speaker, but he had
not even that comfort at operas
where the singing was done in Ger
man and Italian. New York Sun.

pIant rorms seen In Coal.

The substance of coal has been so
compressed that the forms of the
plants composing it cannot usually
be seen, but when piece of it is
made so thin that it will transmit
light and is then subjected to pow
erful microscope its vegetable struc-
ture may readily be distinguished.
Immediately under every separate
seam of coal there is stratum of
what is known as freelay. This
stratum is always present and con-
tains in great abundance the fossil
impressions of roots and stems and
twigs, showing that it was once the
soil from which vegetation grew lux
uriantly.
1t is common also to find fossil tree
stems lying mashed fiat between the
layers of black slate which form the
roofs of coal mines as well as the
impressions of the leaves, nuts and
seeds which fell from these trees

A PIc1uRE.

Grandfather in his broadcloth goes
To hear the parsons Sunday prose.
He sleeps the sermon safely through,
Behind his pillar, out of view.
For never dangerous doctrine ran
From Parson Tom: he knows his man
And feeling his salvation sure
He points the morals with snore,
Whereat, with giggles, all the girls
Do shake their rows of dancing curls.
Here is the flame of young romance
Oft nourished by a subtle glance,
And Cupid lifts beneath the rose
OF Dame Theology the rose
That uuivers on Clarinda's heart
Responsive to the looks that dart,
Whence Collin, tired of parallels,
The herdsmen's quarrel at the wells,
Contents him with the lovely shape
That gIances through Clarinda's cape.
Among the boys some bench is cut,
Or one essays the traitor nut
That pops, whereat, with cheeks afiame,
The kernels fumbled in his shame,
And rolling underneath pew
Is out of reach, but still in view.
And through the marble, nut and knife
Lots wife, and yet again Lots wife.
Outside his tale the blackbird spins.
The tributary thrush begins
To praise the blue audaciously
With daring turns of melody.
And now the parson ends his prose,
The hymn is sung, grandfather goes
Serenely home, and quite assured
He profited and never snored,
And thumps.the turfy path apace-
Says, sleep in church is sheer disgrace.
Now Collin, free of circumstance,
Pursues Clarinda with romance,
Forgiving all the herdsmen's strife,
Lots wife, and yet again Lots wife. y

A trick in which a sword is appar
emily passed through a persons alb
donen is explained as follows The
sword employed is a thin, feN.
BILE, dull blade. The prestidigitator,
whose body the sword will simply
pass around, but not pierce, carries
concealed beneath his vest sheath
that consists of hollow tube, semi
circular in shape, the two eXtremities
of which are bent in contrary direc-
tions in such a way that they are
situated in the same straight line, the
two orifices opening in front and be-
hind at right angles with the abdO-
men. This tube runs around the
farther side of the man, who, appear
ing instinctively to grasp the point
of the sword as if to protect himself,
directs it into the metallic tube. The
flexible sword makes its exit between
the tails of the coat. 1t is necessary
to operate rapidly, SO that the spec
tators shall not have time to see that
the length of the sword has dimin
ished, the curved line that it follows
not being the shortest passage from
one point to another. Cincinnati En-

EXTINCTION oE The KISS.


sanitary Science Invading the Sacred
Realm of Romantic Sentiment.
The kiss of affection and romantic
love is celebrated in the song and
story of all ages. Sacred literature
justifes and honors the holy kiss of
religious sympathy and fellowship.
The meeting of the lips has always
been with our race the universal and
natural and spontaneous expression
of the most tender sentiment.
Now sanitary science pushes itself
forward to degrade the kiss to the
level of sewer gas and the many
agencies by which noxious and infec-
tious disease is propagated. It is de-
manding the abolition of the practice
as a remnant of barbarous ignorance
of the laws of health. Hwould subor
dinate romantic sentiment to cautious
prudence and forbid the lover to en-
brace his sweetheart, even as seal
of their betrothal, until they are able
to produce medical certificates that
they are free from the transmissible
germs of disease.
For several years past prudent par
ents, under the instruction of their
physicians, have guarded their young
children jealously against the indis
criminate kissing which was once in
vogue, lest those poisonous germs be
transmitted to the babies 1t is a
reasonable precaudon, for undoubted-
ly the danger exists, and as the germ
theory of disease is more generally
accepted peril of such contact is ap-
preciated the more intelligently.
If, then, there is a serious risk for
children in careless kissing, say the
preachers of sanitary science, it is
risk which older people must avoid
also.> Even the cherry red and pout-
ing lips of beauty may convey mate
rial poison along with the rapture of
love they express SO romantically.
The most ardent manifestation of
masculine devotion may be the
means of planting the seeds of dis
ease which will bring forth fruit
full crop of maladies sent down
through generations. So says science.
Accordingly the secretary of the
Ohio board of health has been urging
the Pastors union of Sandusky to
use their influence to put a stop to
the practice of unscientifc kissing or
kissing which is not carefully re-
strained by sanitary laws. He also
warns them of the danger of using
the same wine cup in administering
the rite of the holy communion to
different persons. He would not let
women kiss each other after the pre-
vailing fashion, and of course he dis
countenances the kissing of babies
by every chance conner, and he would
prevent kissing among the babies
themselves.
Thus cold and prudential science is
invading the realm of tender and ro-
mantle, poetic and religious senti-
ment and destroying as a pesthouse
the very temple in which the love of
all ages has offered up it's worship.
It is an appalling revolution.-New
York, Sun.

Novel Reartrap.


The early settlers of Bethel, Me-,
were much troubled by black bears,
who killed the sheep, robbed the bee
hives and raided the cornfelds.
A farmer, whose corn, being in the
milk, attracted the bears, placed a
tub of new rum and molasses in the
field. The next morning he found a
large bear stretched out beside it
beastly drunk The tub was empty.
When 'bruin woke up, he found HIM
self securely chained.
1t was an unfair advantage to take
of a beast who only followed the ex-
ample of many of the settlers when
rum and molasses were at hand. -
