Undiscovered Caverns.

The mystery of the underworld
appeals with irresistible force to the
imagination. Tales of the wonders
concealed in caverns and hidden un-
der the ground have always interest
ed the inhabitants of every country.
And the strange and splendid scenes
frequently discovered in such places
as the Mammoth cave, the Luray
caverns, the sea caves of Bermuda
and the Blue grotto of Capri have
lent wings to the fancy which pic
lures still more marvellous spectacles
underneath the ground"
AS a matter of fact it is probable
that we are as yet acquainted with
but comparatively few of the spacious
caverns that exist at no great depth
beneath the earth, and which, filed
with air, are capable of being ex-
plored by men. The explorations of
Mr.. E. A. Martel in France have
added very largely to our knowledge
of what has been called the "subter.
ranean geography" of that country.
Similar work in other countries would
undoubtedly produce many surpris-
ing revelations of what the earth
contains Youths Companion.

The Cats of the Horse.

Speaking of gaits, " said a cattle
man, "did you know that in its ma
tive state the horse has but two gaits
the walk and gallop? All others,
such as the trot, pace, canter, fox
trot, rack and single foot, are &C
quired and artificial. True, colt
will be born that may pace on the
day of its birth, but you will find
that some Of its ancestors had been
taught to pace.
81 have chased and captured horses
in their native wilds and know
this from observation. / never saw
a wild horse trot. A queer diff
ference between wild horses and do
mestic is exhibited in breaking them.
Now, wild horse tries to dismount
his rider by pitching and bucking,
and it is the aim of the trainers TO
make him run. Get wild horse to
running straight ahead and he is CON
quered and will in short time be-
come docile.
But with domestic stock Just the
opposite is the case. A tame horse
does not buck as rule, but wants to
run. Let him run and he is ruined.
The philosophy of the business is
plain. The idea in both cases is to
bend the Will of the horse to the
riders desire. The wild horse runs
straight ahead because he is cowed
and afraid of his rider and has de
SPARED of throwing him. The tame
horse runs because. he has no fear of
the rider and imagines he is escap-
ing. He is made to go slow quietly
only through fear and respect.
Thus, you see, the wild horse runs to
slavery, while the tame horse runs
to freedom. Cincinnati Times-Star.

About Seasickness.

Most of those who have expert
enced the miseries of seasickness.
however they might differ in minor
details of statement, would agree in
ascribing this most dispiriting mala-
dy to one main cause.-The motion of
the ship. In so far the whole medical
faculty would concur in their deci-
sion. This, then, is the central fact
which confers upon the disorder its
unique position. It is really not a
pathological but a physiological dis
turbance. 1t has no natural connec-
ton with dyspepsia.
The robust and healthy, by a
strange contradiction, suffer from it
for the time hardly less than the
weak and ILL., Its variations of in
tensity are felt to be co1nterparts of
mere bodily oscillation Some find
relief from it in change of posture,
others in active occupation, all more
or less when their storm tossed YES
sci sails under the lee of land. Gus
tom and use commonly secure i'm
n1llnity. @at
These are circumstances which one
and all point to mechanical causation
as the source of the discomfort. 1t
is the unaccustomed rise and fall, the
jerk and relaxation of loosely at
tached abdominal viscera, mainly
perhaps, but not alone of the stom-
ach, acting upon the central nervous
connections, which must bear the
brunt of accusation. 1t follows that
successful treatment cannot be guar
anteed by any one method of panacea.
Redundancy, pure deck air, moder-
ately firm bandaging Of the body are
all useful. Drugs have their place
and their partial utility, but, as we
have already suggested, there is no
remedy equal to a lee shore.-Lon-
don Lancet.

Chinese Notions of Color.

The philosophy of Chinese house
painting is truly curious, though per-
haps the interest which attaches to
this subject lies more in the restric-
tions imposed upon the man with pot
and brush than in the free exercise
of decorative art, for among Co.
lestials art is eminently utilitarian.
We enjoy our colors; the Chinese put
theirs to work. More, in house paint
ing green and red are, SO to speak, de
rigueur; other cOlors would be I'M
propitious, unlucky, i'll omened. And
even if the average Chinaman Cbal-
ancing himself as best he can upon
the superstitions and practices of
ages is ignorant of the precise
grounds of his belief, he adheres none
the less rigidly to the canon
AS Pythagoras taught that music
was the first cause of the universe
so the Chinese have pinned their faith
to the absolute efficacy Of color, en-
downing it with powers quite beyond
the laws of chemistry or physics. In
deed, poor John may be said to live
and die by the color scale.-Henry B.
Mcdowell in Harper's. M

Has Popular Education FaiIedq

1t cannot be denied that there is
serious and general disappointment
at the results of popular education
up to this date. In spite of all efforts
to make education universal, all
classes complain more than ever be-
fore of the general conditions of so
ciety. Yet after two whole genera
tons it seems as if some increase of
genuine reasonableness of thought
and action in all classes Of the popu-
lation ought to be discernible.
Many persons, however, fail to see
in the actual conduct of the various
classes of society the evidence of in
creasing nationality. President Eliot

"Robbing Peter to Pay Paul,

"Robbing Peter to pay Paul" was
first used when Westminster abbey
was called st. Peters cathedral.
Money being needed to settle the &C
counts of ST. Pauls cathedral it was
taken by those in authority from St.
Peters, quite to the dissatisfaction
of the people, who asked, "Why rob
St. Peter to pay st. Paul2" Over 200
years afterward the saying was again
used in regard to the same churches
at the death of the Earl of Chatham,
the city of London declaring that so
great a statesman should be buried
in ST. Paul's, while parliament in
sisted that one so noble in every
way would be more properly placed
amid the dust of kings in Westmin-
ster abbey, and that not to bury him
there would be for the second time

THE SONG THE KETTLE SINGS.

sweet are the songs by lovers sung
As they the old. old story tell,
And sweet the Groom of bees among
The clover blossoms and asphodel,
And glad the notes the skylarks trill
AT dawn upon their buoyant wings,
But dearer, softer, better still
The low, sweet song the kettle sings.
How strangely come to US again
The pleasant scenes of other days;
The happy golden moments when
We went our simple childish ways
When all life's journey lay before
And gayly beckoned US with smiles,
Ere we had left our fathers door.
To go the many weary miles!
There by the broad, deep fireplace sit
The aged ones with sifvered hair;
Across each face the iashesfit
And faded cheeks grow flushed and fair.
And strangely mingle smile and tear
AS memory in fondness brings
The old, old days the while they hear
The low, sweet song the kettle sings.
The embers throw their ruddy CLEAN
On childish figures blithe and free
That watch the changing glow, and dream
OF wondrous things that are to be.
The future one glad chime of bells
Of golden bells, hope ever rings,
And through their music strangely wells
The low, sweet song the kettle sings.
Oh, all the joys my heart has known
And all the hopes of those to be
Within the kettles gentle tone
On gracious wings are borne to me,
And gladness which my care beguiles
Comes bubbling up from youthful springs.
And whispers from the peaceful isles
Are in the song the kettle sings. 4
Would you become youth again
Back in that dear old home once more?
Trade all the wisdom sorry men
May have for childhood's happy lore2
Oh, would you feel the morning dew
OF rest upon life's tired wings2
Then dream with me and listen to
The low, sweet song the kettle sings. =

The Founder of a University.

For many years Johns Hopkins"
has been a familiar name in the
land, yet comparatively few persons
know anything of the man whose
name adorns the hospital and uni
versity-his legacies to Baltimore
/ He was born on a farm in Anne
Arundel county, Nd, in 1898, of
Quaker parentage. When quite a
young man he came to Baltimore and
was soon established In business. He
was bold but judicious operator.
In those days coffee and sugar were
usually sold at auction they would
be put up in lots, and, if the buyer
saw fit, he would use the privilege of
taking the whole as his successful
bid. This Mr.. Hopkins often did,
thus monopolizing the market. II
He encouraged young men starting
in business, and would indorse their
paper for a commission, which they
cheerfully paid; and having, as he
had, remarkably keen Judgment, he
seldom lost, or rather his gains fal
exceeded his losses Hemade a great
deal of money in Baltimore and Ohio
stock, in which he had great conf
dence, buying it at low prices and
holding it until his prophecies were
fulfilled.
When he. was young he was in
love with a first cousin, but owing to
family opposition he never married
her Johns Hopkins lived plainly
and simply, dressed in the Quaker
style, was rather blunt in manner,
but at the same time his uprightness
and rare business talents won the
respectof the community. He died in
December, 1873, in his house in town.
Besides the millions that he left fol
the hospital and university, his
several nieees and nephews received
legacies, and he provided literally
for his sister, who survived him. =
