THE POWER OF POETRY.

SCOTS Description of the Chase and What
the Ordinary Man Would Have Said.
Take, as single instance of the pow
er of poetry, Walter Scott's opening
lines in the Lady Of the Lake, where
he describes the chase of the stag. The
stag escapes and evades his pursuers,
but what a picture the great poet has
put into words!
Reduced to prose the ordinary observ-
er and writer would have said, "They
chased the stag several miles, but lost
him in the Trosachs. He could not
possibly have said in prose:
The antlered monarch of the waste
Sprung from his heathery couch in haste,
But ere his feet career he took
The dewdrops from his TANKS he shook;
Like crested leader, proud and high,
Toss'd his beamed frontlet to the sky;
A moment gazed adown the dale,
A moment snuffed the tainted gale,
A moment listened to the cry
That thickend as the chase drew nigh.
Then as the headmost foes appear'd,
With one brave bound the copse he clear'd,
And stretching forward free and far
Sought the wild heaths of Uam.Var.
The poet began his picture with an
incident that only poet would have
thought worthy Of words, but what a
picture the few words make!
The stag at eve had drunk his fill
Where danced the moon on Monan's rill,
And deep his midnight lair had made
In lone Glenartneys hazel shade,
Forest and Stream.

HoW-WE WALK.


The Muscles Used ana tAs 1Geca, SeaIWsrk
-.sss.g. t.isg That They Do. as
The chief muscles concerned inWalk.
ing are those in the calf and back Of
= leg, which, by pulling up the heel, also
pull up the bones Of the foot connected
with it, and then the whole body, the
weight of which is passed on through
the bones of the leg. When walking,
the trunk is thrown forward SO that it
would fall down PROSTATE were not the
right foot planted in time to support it.
The calf muscles are helped in this ac-
tion by those on the front of the trunk
and legs, which contract and pull the
body forward, and the trunk, slanting
forward when the heel is raised by the
calf muscles, the whole body will be
raised and pushed forward and upward.
This advancement Of each leg is effect
ed partly by muscular action, the mus
Giles used being CD those on the front Of
the thigh, bending it forward on the
pelvis; (2) the hamstring muscles, which
slightly bend the leg on the thigh; (3)
the muscles on the front Of the leg,
which raise the front Of the foot and
toes, preventing the latter, in swinging
forward, from hitching in the ground.
When one foot has reached the
ground, the action Of the other has not
ceased. There is another point in walk
ing. The body is constantly supported
and balanced on each leg alternately
and therefore on only one at once. Hence
there must be some means for throwing
the center of gravity over the line of
support formed by the bones of each leg,
as it supports the weight Of the body.
This is done in various ways, and hence
the difference in the walk of different
people. There may be slight rotation at
the hip joint, bringing the center of
gravity of the body over the foot of this
side. This rocking" motion Of the
trunk and thigh is accompanied by a
movement Of the whole trunk and leg
over the foot planted on the ground and
is accompanied by a compensating out
ward movement at the hip. The body
rises and swings alternately from one
side to the other as its center of gravity
comes alternately over one or the other
leg, and the curvature of the spinal
bones is altered with the varying posi-
ton Of the weight. London Hospital.

Fire Easily Obtained.

The average civilized man would be
hard put to it if he we're compelled to
start a fire without matches, finder box
or burning glass. But Lieutenant Won
HohHel describes an African chief as
not only accomplishing this feat, but
doing it with quickness and ease. The
traveller had asked him to show his skill.
It was really wonderful, in view Of
the moisture laden atmosphere, with
what rapidity he did as had requested.
The materials employed were such as
we saw wherever we went-two simple
bits of wood, one fiat about six inches
long and not quite an inch wide, with
row of grooves on one side, the other
about 10 inches long and of the thick
ness and shape Of lead pencil.
The longer piece, fixed in one of the
grooves of the shorter piece, was held
tightly between the palms Of the hand
and whirled rapidly round and round.
In few seconds the wood dust which
was produced by the friction, and which
fell through the grooves, began to smoke.
This dust was carefully nursed into a
blaze, which was fed with fine grass
and bits of cotton stuff. #
The whole thing is done so quickly
that our men, even the lazy Wasungu,
always employed this method on short
halts for lighting their pipes. Youth s

To Slip q His Herse Rsasatsd Nths Rider
Discovering . Great 1Iine.
One Of the most productive mines in
California was discovered through an
accidental fall Of the disooverer. He
was one Of q hunting party that had
gone out from San Francisco during the
Christmas holidays. While passing
along the side of a steep hill on mar
row trail his horse suddenly slipped,
and with his rider went down into the
gulch. IT,. ...... - 6. "a ..,..+
Happening to be the last in the line
and some distance behind the others, he
was not missed for some moments, but
when his absence was noticed the party
turned back to look for him, fearing
some untoward accident. He was no.
where to be seen, but the place where
his horse had slipped and fallen over
the bank, together with the traces Of
the fall, was plainly visible. Following
the tracks made by the falling horse and
man, and when near the bottom, the
men suddenly came upon an interesting
spectacle. Just behind a clump Of bushes
which the man and his steed had
crashed through on their way down
stood the horse, apparently uninjured,
while near by, On slab Of rock pro-
jecting from the snow, the man was
capering like an Indian at a ghost
dance.
The first impression of the rescuing
party was that the man had gone sud-
denly crazy, but as he caught sight of
them he suddenly ceased his gyrations
and shouted for them to approach. They
came, when he showed them several

off tho moss from the stone and dis

How 1t Was Once Sadly Disconnected by an
American Girl.
There had been lively discussions
some years ago over a then seemingly
important question theatrically, and in
deed socially, WAS or was not Kyrle
Bellew possessed Of great vanity?''
L believe the matter has never been
definitely settled, though in an individ-
ual instanceI recall it would seem there
was valid ground for decision in the
affirmative.
The occasion was an informal "even-
ing" at Mrs. Lester Wallack's, and
gathered about one of the tables were
two or three young ladies, Mr.. Bellew
and other men. Bellew had some bits Of
paper in his hands, from which he was
idly fashioning little boats. II hear, -
he drawled, addressing no one in par
ticular, THAT your American navy is
badly in need Of ships. I propose to
remedy the trouble by presenting you
with few" One girl spoke up quickly
in slightly sarcastic vein, II am sure
we all render sincere thanks in the
name Of the American navy"
The actor favored her by an especially
comprehensive glance, and finishing his
boat penciled a few lines on it and
rather patronizingly tossed it over to
her.
The girl picked the boat up slowly
(this was the first occasion she had met
Mr.. Bellew) and read: my love to you
Kyrle Bellew." A rather vivid flush
overspread her face, but looking the
young man steadily in the eyes she said
in tones sufficiently clear for compre-
hension, 1.-THE sentiment inscribed here
Indicating the paper boat) is surely too
much Of an honor for any one woman
to aspire to; SO, with your permission,
Mr.. Bellew, will take it home, rattle
it and-send you the proceeds. She
then rose, bowed and left the table, at
the same time leaving Mr.. Bellew sufi-

To Remove Tattoo Marks.

There have been many operations
and applications recommended for the
removal of tattoo marks. but most of
tircly unsuccessful in achieving the re-
suit desired. y new procedure is rec
commended by Pa&chkiS, who would
remove the tattooing or fermentation
of the skin by sort of counter tat
toOing. The remover used by him has
been baryta white. stained to the color
of the surrounding skin by the proper
admiXture of browns and reds. An
artist with Il good eye for colorS would
be successful in this operation.
Another method involves Il new prin-
ciple. viz, the digestion of the sub
cutancouS pigments by papoid. The
tattooed part is we'll washed with soap
and water, a bunch of six or eight
cambria needles bound together with
silk thread is dipped in glycerul" of
papoid and driven with sharp blow
into the tattooed part. This is repeat
ed over the entire stain and must he
thorough To be effective, and II prrr-
liarity of the method is said to be that
it causes no infiammatory reaction
The digestive principle of the papoid
Is disseminated about the deposit Of
pigment, thus libcrating it. Il portion is
absorbed in Il finely divided STAT" by
the lymphatic$. another part probably
finds its way into the J>pcr layers 90
the epidcrmiS. and close to the surface
and in this manner the pigment dis
appears.
