ODDITIES OF NATURE.
Curious Things to Wonder Over by t
"Know It All People"

Curious Things to Wonder Over by the
"Know 1t All People,"
There are processes of nature which
seem as inexplicable as the operation
OF the mind.
Why does sugar always crystalline
in a certain way and salt in certain
other way? An infallible test for
some minerals is in their form of
crystalization, says the Seattle Tele-
graph.
Why does the mysterious movement
of the sap in plant proceed with such
absolute regularity that in the leaf,
say of a variegated geranium, a little
coloring matter of one shade is dropped
at one point and a little of another
shade at another point, with never a
mistake?
Why does nature, or rather how does
nature, tell the wheat that is grown in
northern ATTITUDES that it must produce
many seeds to each plant, SO that some
of them may survive the rigor of the
winter?
Why do the plants of the tropics ex-
pend all their forces in leaf and gor-
geous flower, and yield only a few
seeds, as If they knew that in the
genial climate where they flourish
every seed stood grand chance of
growing?

His English BETRAYED Him.

The following story is told in Eng
land of Rev. John Sheepshanks, who
was recently made bishop of Norwich:
One evening young Cambridge man,
afterward head master of a well-known
grammar school, but tutor for the
nonce to a Russian prince, was smok-
ing a igarette in his rooms in ST. Pc
tersburg when a servant announced
that a moujik wanted to see him very
urgently. The unknown visitor was
shown up and appeared in the we'll
worn garb from which Brian O'Lynn
derived his simple but practical sar-
torial notions. To his hosts utter be-
wilderment this uncouth being ad-
dressed him in refined English, and
presently explained that. he was a
brother Contab DESTROYS of securing
his good Offices. The man, in short,
was Rev. John Sheepshanks, who, hav-
ing landed some six months before
near the mouth of the Amoor river,
had made his way alone and on foot
through Tartary, Turkestan and ST.
IBERIA to the banks of the Neva.

so interesting a sight, 1 rode several
miles with the doctor to the nest.
There we found Bob White faithfully
warming his treasures, but not into life;
the eggs were never hatched Dr..
Pickett frequently went to the nest
until long alter the period of incuba-
ton had elapsed, and finding that the
eggs woull not hatch, he destroyed
them, to prevent the useless occupa-
ton of the nest by the male. The fe-
male had probably been dead some
hours before the male found the nest
serted; hence the eggs cooled and
would not hatch"

Good Bob White.

The male quail, or Bob White de-
serves honorable mention among GALL
naceous birds because he is particular
ly good 10 his wife. He always helps
her to hatch her eggs, and if anything
keeps her away will take the whole
duty on himself. This is particularly
attested by q writer quoted by Capt
Bendire in his Life Histories of North
American Birds" He says: I'm June,

GIANTS AMONG THE PLANETS.
Mighty Jupiter, Whose Diameter Is Elev-
en- Times That of the Earth.


en- Times That of the Earth.
Our most eminent astronomers do not
pretend to give us exact reckonings on
the great floating worlds outside of
our own solar system, but within that
monstrous aggregation everything has
been reduced to certainty. The king
pin of this solar system is Jupiter,
mighty Jupiter, the colossal giant of
all the sun-kissed worlds" His diam
eter is about $4,000 of our miles, being
about eleven times that of our own
globe; the circumference 275, 1000 miles
at the equator, which would give the
giant a volume exceeding that of the
earth by 1884 times. We're it possible,
says the St. Louis Republic, to bring
the earth and Jupiter so close together
that the distance separating them
would be no greater than that which
now separates the earth from the
moon-about 100000 miles = what
wondrous sight would be in store for
the residents of our little globe. The
world of Jupiter would appear to us to
have diameter forty times larger
than that of our usual mighty attend
ant, and the surface of his disk would
occupy space greater than that of 1000
full moons. And this giant of planets
is removed from the sun by distance
of 496,000,O00 miles; has an orbit of
more than 1000, 1000, 900 miles in extent,
and makes a circuit of its celestial
track once every 1882 days. Thus it
will be seen that year on Jupiter is
equal to eleven years ten months and
seventeen days on our globe. The i'm
mensity of the world of Jupiter and it's
orbit may be approximately measured
by this comparison: In order to COM
plete its orbit in the time given above
it must speed around the sun with a
velocity of 100000 miles day, or a lit
tie more than eight miles per second.

Early Prejudice Against Women Doctors.


Medicine as profession for women
is less than fifty years old. DIR. Mary
Zakrzewska, of Boston, has recently
published an interesting account of
the struggles of the pioneers in this
particular field. Harriet Hunt and
Elizabeth Blackwell were stirred by
the idea that an important work might
be done by well-instructed medical
women. The naturalization of this
view resulted in complete social ostra-
cism, impossible to be endured by any
but the strongest and most courageous
women. woman doctor ever earned
a living before 1860. No respectable
family in any commonly respectable
neighboorhood would let rooms to a
woman physician. Even when friends
gave her shelters business card or sign
was not allowed. The lack of prac-
teal training was really the STUN
bling block and the cause of all this
prejudice.

He Nailed the Central Thought.

Into a Maine village where he had
preached when he was licentate with
more hopes than fame, there came a
few Sundays ago an elderly and pros
porous doctor Of divinity. After the
morning service an old, white-haired
man approached the doctor, and, hold
ing out his hand, said:
"Glad to see We. l want to thank We
for what We said this morning, and to
tell ye that ye preached a sermon here
years ago I've never forgotten"
Pleased by such remembrance, the
doctor grasped the proffered hand
heartily, and said:
"By the way, what was that ser
mon? / don't seem to remember"
''Well," answered the old man, 81

Afraid to Dance.

The complaint is made that the mod.
trn young man does not take as kindly
to dancing as his father or grandfather
before him. The general opinion seems
to be that our young men do not dance
because they are lazy. Another opinion
given Is that they are afraid of the
modern young woman: that is. that
they flee from the dance because dane
ing leads quite naturally to proposing.
When they have asked a girl to dance
a certain number of times. ii comes
quite natural to some young men to
ask her TO do something even more
foolish, and these young men steer
clear of danger. When young men
are able to contemplate matrimony
with more equanimity than is possible
in these expensive days. then it is sug-
gested that they will begin TO dance
again; but while young women expect
to begin their married life with as
many servants and as large an amount
of PIN money as their wealthy papas
furnish them with. the young man be
ginning life trembles on the brink Of
such a venture.-DomeStic Monthly.

Drink Water for Health.

Probably the majority of people
drink too little water. Tea, coffee,
beer, wine and other drinks are in
dulged in; but these liquids are not a
substitute for water, which is one Of
the most important Of al substances
required for the nourishment of the
body Water is required by the sys-
ten to the amount of two or three
piEts daily. When the skin is un-
usually active, as in very warm wea-
ther, the superfuous heat Of the body
must be carried off by evaporation
from the surface. and a still larger
quantity is required. 1t is probable
that the hygienic value of water as a
drink is not appreciated. Some per-
sons are even so unwise as 10 pur-
posely abstain from water drinking,
with the idea that there is virtue in
so doing. Such may do themselves
great harm. As a rule, from two to
six glasses of water should be taken
daily, in addition to that usually
taken with the meals, unless the diet
consists largely of milk, soups or
other fluid food.

The sanitary condition of the tene-
ment house districts of New York has
been greatly improved within two
years. One result is seen in the fall
ing off of the death rate. which Is
about 10 per cent. less for the first half
)f 1894 than for the corresponding
period in 1893. although the popula-
ton has increased. The reduction in
the death rate of children under five
years of age was stl, greater. Work
Il connection with the tenement house
census brought out the rather curious
fact that one-fourth of all the deaths
n New York last year We're in jails,
hospitals or other public institutions.
The number of deaths so recorded was
1887 OF these only about 1000
could be traced back 10 the tenement
houses. The death rate in the tene-
ment districts is now about the same
as thar for the whole city This is a
remarkable showing, considering the
crowded condition of many of the
Jenements. especially on the east side,
where the population is so largely Of
recent foreign importation.
