There is a philologist in the city who
divides all languages into three classes
the heavy, the light and the middling The
German is heavy, the French light and
the English middling. The Chinese is
heavy the Hindoo light and the japanese
middling. In ancient times the Hebrew
was heavy, the Greek light and the Latin
middling. Among the North American
Indians the Ojibway language is heavy,
the Kickapoo light and the Seminole mid
ding.
The philologist gave illustrations of his
theory in all the languages here enumer-
ated. He argued that the races which
speak the heavy languages are the most
superstitious, those which speak the light
are most romantic, while those which
speak the middling are the most practical
and successful. In doing this he tried to
demonstrate each of his propositions by
the history of the races spoken of.
His theory has been laid before several
members of the American Pathological as
ISOLATION, all Of whom have thus far de-
clined to mark their approval of it.-New
York Sun.

A Horse Has Little Brains.

The mental peculiarities of the horse are
much less characteristic than its physical.
1t is indeed the common opinion among
those who do not know the animal well
that it is endowed with much sagacity,
but no experienced and careful observer is
likely to maintain this opinion. All such
students find the intelligence of the horse
to be very limited.
Although some part of this mental de-
feet in the horse, causing its actions to be
widely contrasted with those of the dog,
may be due to a lack of deliberate train
ing and to breeding with reference to intel
lectual accomplishment, we see by COM
pairing the creature with the elephant,
which practically has, never been bred in
captivity, that the e4dine mind is, from
the point of view of nationality, very
feeble.-Professor N. S. Shaler in Serb
ner's Magazine.

OLD SCOTTISH CURES.
Remedies That Were Recommended In
the Days of Aud Lang Syne.


A baldheadod man would hesitate before
following Sir John Moncrieff's advice to
make a lee Of the burnt ashes of doves
dung and wash the head well, " although
there is some consolation in learning that
the same beneficial results would accrue
from using Tho ashes of little frogs"
The hair, according to this authority, may
be changed to golden tint by using a
simple lotion composed of the ashes of the
ivy plant. Ladies who sigh for a fair com
plexion may secure it by such pleasant
method as washing the face with 1.-THE
distilled water of snails," and the appli.
cation of liver of sheep, fresh and hot, )"
will mako the whole face well colored.
Should the nose unfortunately bleed and
the familiar remedy of thrusting bunch
of keys down the back of the neck fail Of
the desired result, then the assured styptio
is to put into the nostrils a mixture of the
hair of q hare and vinegar. Sir John bears
testimony, Il myself know this to be tho
best of anything known" Blood flowing
from cut may be instantly stanched by
simply holding Jasper in the hand or by
putting cows blood into the wound. Tho
reader will be apt to remark that neither
of these is handy remedy for such an
emergency An ointment made of earth
worms will cure paralysis If the affected
parts be anointed with the compound.
Sleeplessness, so common an ailmcnt in
our own Time. can be removed, according
to Sir John, by applying living creatures
to the head to dissolve the humOT," and
Sir John narrates that for measles many
keep an eve or wedder in their chamber or
on the bed, because these creatures are
easily infected and draw the venom to
themselves, by which means some ease may
happen to the sick person." In a similar
manner, If tho trouble be collie, a live duck
or frog applied to the part draws all tho
evil to itself and dies" Epilepsy may bG
prevented by wearing a girdle of VOLTS
skin. Should any one have been so neg.
ligent as to omit this necessary prGCaution,
powder of q mans bones burnt, chiefly
of the skull that is found in the earth,
cures the epilepsy. The bones of man
cure a man. The bones of woman curd
q woman"
Lcthargic individuals should follow tho
sage Moncrieff's advice: Burn the whole
skin of a hare with the ears and nails.
hepowdcr thereof, being given hot, cures
the lcthargy perfectly" Deafness may be
removed by pouring a mixture of onion
juice and ants eggs into the ear, and tho
blood of a wild goat given to ten drops OF
carduus water doth powerfully discuss the
pleurisy. "--GentlemRn' S Magazine

Tho Story Telling Meter.

1t has for long time been the belief
that meters for gas and water were not as
reliable rs the companies would like to
have consumers believe. Interested per-
sons at Mannheim, Germany, have been
investigating meters, with results not at
all favorable to the meters themselves.
Many of them have registered far more
than was consumed, and, as a rule, they
were neither accurate nor regular The
vibrations due to bad plumbing and other
causes accounted for some of the waste,
and check valve and air chamber were
recommended in order to equalize the
pressure. 1t is said that very sudden shut
ting off Of either gas or water will cause
the meter to overregister. There should
be some simple and effective way to rcgu-
late meters. AS matters now stand the
producer has things all his own way, and
the consumer has no redress whatever

ing Than to Others.
One of our wittiost variety show iokers
is wont to introduce his turn" by com
ing forward and asking, after CHANGING at
a card he holds, is Mr.. Erastus Baker in
the house," TlCro being no response, he
repeats this query and then Coos on:
"Well, there's a woman at the stage door
with bill for washing, and she's looking
for Mr.. Erastus Baker. Now, Pm going
to sing, and If any one goes out during
my song I'll have placed this gentleman"
Knowing the perforncr's ready and I'M
sparing wit, his hearers are pretty sure to
wait till he is through before leaving the
theater. This entertainers trick of hold
ing his hearers was brought to my mind
by an incident in gospel temperance
meeting" in a modest west side church.
There was nothing in the programme to
attrHcr ntcnsion to it as promising any
thing .."nront from the usual gathering
of tn '..d, but it was made especially in
teresting by an unexpected discussion be-
tween the pastor and young man in the
audience. The services had been in prog
ress but a few minutes when the pastor
announced:
1--WE will now sing the hymn, 'Oh,
Where Is My Wandering Boy Tonight"
and he proceeded to read the familiar lines
of the first stanza. While he was reading
the young man, stranger, rose from his
pew and started toward the door. The
clergyman, eager to point a moral, 1 sup
pose, Immediately called out:
Better stay here, brother This is the
place for your mothers wandering boyr'
The stranger stopped, turned about, and
standing in the aisle responded:
Il may or may not be such a one as the
hymn describes but will tell you frank
ly that leave this meeting simply because
you are going to sing that hymn. The
hymn does not reach the wandering boys
heart, because he is not here but that is
of little matter compared with the need
less suffering you inaict on the mothers
who may be and doubtless are present. H.

Swamp Plants.

1t should be well known by this time
that swamp plants, as a rule, will do
much better in comparatively dry land
than in the swamps where we naturally
find them. Even the rice plant which
usually grows in water, will grow well
and produce fair crop of seeds in COM
mon garden ground. The reason for this
has been fully explained in scientific
serials. 1t reads oddly in a report just is
sued by the United States department Of
agriculture, suggesting that the common
swamp rose mallow, Hibiscus moscheutos,
would possibly grow in dry land, as an ex-
pertinent was made to test this fact on tho
Delaware river 80 years ago. The plant ia
growing in every well ordered herbaceoua
ground and is one of our most popular
border plants. 1t is a weakness of tho
United States department of agriculture
that it is so often behind the times in it's
publications. One of the best tasks for
that department. would be to make an in
dex of what has been placed on record in
the many serial publications of our coun-
try during the last half century. Dir.
Franklin b. Hough did something of this
work in forestry when he was in this de-
partment. 1t is much to be regretted that
such useful work has not been given a
broader scope.-Meehan's Monthly.

THE BlGHORN DISAPPEARING.
This Noble Native American Sheep Threat
ened with Extinction.


The magnificent bighorn seems destined
to follow the bison to the happy hunting
grounds, " where their native hunters havo
preceded them both. A few still survive in
the National park, but from late advices l
fear their rapid disappearance is at hand
They are still to be found however, in
northern British America and Alaska.
The bighorn is one of the noblest of the
bovine race Compared with the domestic
sheep, it is in every respect handsomcr
more spirited and graceful, as well as
larger and much more intelligent. Tho
limbs arc long and sinewy, the neck rather
short-a long nccked animal could never
carry such head piece-the eyes arc rath-
er full and placed far back in the head, so
as to take in a broad range of vision; the
hoofs are pointed, like those of goat.
The bottom of the hoof is soft and COW
cred with hair and is bOrdcrcd by sharp
rim of horn, giving the structure degree
of elasticity and flrmnes9shat enables it to
rest secure where the hoofs Of other mann
mails would find no foothold. A full
grown male bighorn measures as much as
AZ inches in height at the shoulder and
weighs almost $50 pounds.
The peculiar glory of tits animal, as is
recognized in his popular NAME is the
enormous size of the horns of the male.
These magnificent appendages have been
known to measure feet inches along
the curve and 10 inches in circumference
at the base. The hollow horn of an adult
will hold two gallons, and it has been
sometimes used though inconveniently
shaped for the purpose, by the Indians as
Il vessel to contain water.-Our Animal
Friends.

PECULIAR CHINESE DISHES.
Some of Them Are Palatable, but More
of Them Are Not.

OF lnem are NOJs
Some of the dishes were extremely nice,
notably the little shreds of roast mutton,
excellently seasoned, such as l learned
ever after to call for with confidence at
Chinese inns. On the other hand, tho
chicken was made UNBEATABLE, and the egg1
on this occasion, am bound to say, werG
inexpressibly nasty. The taste for them
as eaten in China had need to be acquired
no doubt, for had been told at Nierny Of
the wonderful pains and expense at which
Chinese Commands preserve their eggs
till they are black and putrid, and OF
which they are as proud when many,
many years old as an English squire of his
crusted port. l have, moreover, vague
impression, which for the moment l can
not verify, that l somewhere tasted these
ancient delicacies and found them good,
but on the present occasion my notebook
condemns them utterly.
The rissoles of pork sausage were tasty,
and so were the French beans, peas and
hearts of cabbage stalk cut in slices and
the mandarin oranges preserved in sirup.
We helped ourselves to these delicacies as
we pleased but our host every now and
then with his chopsticks placed on tho
plate of one or other of his three guests "a
choice norsel which, mGrcifully, it was
not a matter of unbcnding etiquette that
one should eat. 1t was polite, Of course,
occasionally to return the compliment and
help him to tidbits with ones knife and
fork. -Philadelphi Times.
