do good, physicians have done much harm. They
have hurried thousands to the grave, who would

Odd Expressions In Use Among the
Natives.
'Whims" is the local name in Cum
berland for furze, and appears to be
the Gaelic word quins, sharp points.
'Heaf" is a very peculiar word, de
rived from the Old Morse haef, a
share,) and is applied to the part of a
fellside common allotted to n particular
flock of sheep, says the Gentleman's
Magazine. Each flock keeps to its own
"heaf." Some very quaint expressions
are "bride-loaf," a wedding cake; 'see-
ing-glass," a mirror; ''clout-hat," a
woman's sunbonnet; ''ridding-out
keam," hair comb; fireworks"
magic-lantern display; 'moley-man," a
mole-catcher; ''leg-weary," tired; ''leg
up" to trip up; 'sneck up" to wind
literally to latch up) clock.
The verbs "feel" in the sense of to
smell, and "lame," in the sense of to
injure any part of the body, are
peculiar. We may add ''pipe-stopple,"
the stem of a tobacco pipe; outlook"
footstool; thinker folk" the
gypsies; "last DRESS" a shroud, which
children are taught to work at school,
and afterwards to present to their
grandparents and other aged relatives
"a kindly act, but one which betrays
that lack of humor and sense of the
ludicrous which is characteristic of
northern folk. A Cumbrian who goes
to have his photograph taken announces
that he has come to be ''struck."

"You see the town has an ordinance

but scoop out hole and make great
big mud puddle clear across the street
right in front of his office. Of course,
when wheelman comes along, rather

upon the sidewalk. That's what the

A BEARS NOSE.
One Point of the Animal That IL Very

One Point OF the Animal That IL Very
Sensitive.
A sportsman's life was once saved by
his knowledge of one OF the physical
peculiarities of the bear. Gen. Hamil-
ton, who tells the story in his "Sport
in Southern India" was out on bear
shooting expedition with brother
officer. The beaters drove the bear
from his hiding place, and a shot from
the officer threw him on the ground;
but he got up with grunt and made
off.
AS the bear passed an open bit of
ground Gen. Hamilton again fired, but
missed, and the beast turned upon him.
When he was within few yards the
general gave him the other barrel. AS
this did not stop him Hamilton started
to run, but tripped over a rock and fell
fiat ON his face.
The bear was upon him instantly,
and the sportsman, looking over his
shoulder, saw into the bears mouth as
the brute made grab at him. The
animal caught him by the thigh and
pinned him. Knowing that bears
nose is very sensitive, Hamilton hit
him several hard blows on the nose.
The bear, unable to endure the pain,
let go, and, before he could get hold
again, Hamilton was up the hill.
His companion ran up and killed the
bear by ball through his heart. But
the bears claw had laid open Hamil-
tons thigh to the bone, and he was in
bed for a month

INSECTS IN MEXICO.
A Town Where Deadly Ants Terrlfy the
People.

In Guerrero the tarantula is some
times found there as big as a mans two
fists. Scorpions are of all sizes, but the
one which does the most harm by its
bite is smallish gray creature. The
larger ones bite so hard that the blood
flows freely, and the infected poison
flows off. There is little snake called
the corallilo, which is particularly fond
of getting indoors and nesting in ones
boots. Its bite is fatal. Boots should
always be inspected for corallilos be-
fore they are put on-in Guerrero. If
a scorpion creeps on the face or hands,
the person so visited should carefully
refrain from making any movement;
he should allow the horrible insect to
crawl just where it will. If it is not
disturbed, in all likelihood it will do no
harm; if it is attacked it is quite sure to
sting.
The worst terror to the people of
Guerrero, says the Boston Herald, is
neither snakes nor scorpions, but the
red ants. Before these insects the peo-
pie flee in terror from their houses.
They leave nothing behind if they can
help it. An Indian woman rushed out
of her cabin with her children on the
coming of the ants being announced.
In her terror she left her baby behind
the house swinging in a, hammock. 1t
was hoped that it would escape, but
when the ants had departed the mother
found that the insects had crept down
the cords of the hammock, and had
left of the unfortunate child nothing
but its bones. On some of the Guerrero
sugar estates great, lazy-looking snakes
are kept in the storerooms to keep
rats and mice away from the sugar
loaves. These snakes are repulsive in
appearance, but harmless to human
beings. Not all the places in Mexico,
however, which have an agreeable
climate are cursed with insects and
reptilian pests. Such places as Cuer-
navaca, in the state of Morelos, are too
high above the hot plains to suffer
from venomous insects, and yet so
much below the cold tableland that
the climate is perpetual summer
Cuernavaca unites many of the advan-
tages of the temperate zone with all
that is delightful and alluring in the

THE QUEENS DONKEY.
Once the Property of Poor Basque
Peasant.

Peasant.
Queen Victoria, during her recent So
journ at Cimiez, on the French Med
iterranean coast, was often seen to
drive, on pleasant afternoons, very
sleek and comfortable-loobing donkey.
The aged queen, holding the reins her
self, seemed greatly to enjoy her drive,
and the complacency of the donkey
suggested that he almost understood
the honor which was being done him.
This donkey, whose name is Jocko, has
an interesting history.
During previous sojourn in the
same district, says the Youths Com
panion, the queen was one morning en-
joying herself incognita, in the open
air at Acquisgrana, when she saw a
peasant leading along by the bit dom
key which looked as if he had once been
fine animal of his kind, but now
seemed to be almost starved. He was
lean, languishing, evidently suffering.
The queen asked the man if his dom
key was for sale.
THAT depends, signora," said the
man. "If were to sell him, now, how
should get my living?"
'How much did you pay for him?"
"a Ahundred francs" ~
II will give you two hundred, and
you can buy another donkey"
The man sold him to the unknown
''signora," and poor Jocko at once be-
gan new life. Abundantly fed and
carefully groomed, he blossomed out as
a royal favorite. The story spread, and
the queen conld take no more prom
enades with convenience, for she was.
certain to encounter every day several
peasants who tried to sell her decrepit
and half.starved donkeys. She bought
none of them.
During her late visit the queen drove
through Aequisgrana with Jocko, and
his former owner, the peasant, saw the
equipage go by. The donkey was fat,
glossy and glittering with buckles Of
silver and gold.
"Alasl' exclaimed the peasant.
"When l sold the donkey, why didn't
throw myself imp"

AMERICAN CONSERVATISM.
The Power and Influencc of the Suprem
Court of the United States.


The Power and Influence of the Supreme
Court of the United States.
The supreme court is not an elective
body, and suppose that might seem to
the English radical a sufficient reason
for sweeping it away, says the Nine
teenth Century. The judges are APP
pointed for life by the president and
they are responsible to no popular tri-
bunal-not even to public opinion.
They sit as court of pure law, the
final authority from which in all Amer
lea there is no appeal. Their jurisdic-
ton, strictly defined though it be, is
coeXtensive with the whole union. 1t
is the one instance in history in which
popular sovereignty, acknowledged as
supreme in the long run for every other
purpose and every other authority to
which it has delegated power, submits
to master whom it did not appoint
and cannot remove and cannot escape.
Everybody submits; the states them
selves, sovereign as they still are for
certain purposes, submit: congress and
the president, the army and navy. the
people themselves, all submit.
In the hands of the supreme court de-
mocracy itself, if it seeks to pass an un-
constitutional law, is powerless. A
unanimous vote of the people, unani-
nous vote of the house and senate and
the approval of the president would not
make statute law if this tribunal SAYS
it is not law. But do you ever hear
of proposal to abolish the supreme
court? Why not? 1t is not only that
the court has been a great court of
great judges, its honesty and ability
and wisdom alike recognized, but be-
cause the American democracy has the
good sense to see that, under written
constitution like that of the United
States, such tribunal is essential to
the working of all it's parts, and that,
check and all-powerful check though it
be upon democracy, it is also guar
anty to the American people that, in the
words of the preamble of their great
charter, justice shall be established
and the blessings OF liberty preserved
to themselves and their posterity.

A DEADLY DISEASE OF TO-DAY.
The Great Increase In the Number of
Cases of Paresis.


In connection with the coclx-sure
statement of Mr.. Howclls that the
present race was never so healthy and
strong as now it is interesting TO read
the following paragraph, written by
DR.. I. S. Clouston, superintendent of
the Morningside asylum, Scotland,
says the Medical Record. lie says:
"One terrible form of brain disease,
with mental symptoms, is certainly in
creasing. That malaly may
be described as breakdown of the
great center of mind and motion in the
brain; it always goes on from bad to
worse till it renders its victim utterly
helpless in mind and body and kills
him in q few years. No cure and
scarcely any mitigation of this latter
day curse has yet been devised. 1t is
disease OF cities, of restless lives, of ac-
tive brains in their prime; sometimcs IS
of dissipation and dcbauchery, of life
at high pressure commonly"
During the past year the asylums Of
Scotland received $50 new cases, those
of England 1,400 and those of ireland
SO. The asylum statistics of this coun-
try show an even greater number.
In single asylum of this state, for
eXample-that at Ogdensburg-there
were among the $50 admissions 81 cases
of general paresis. This would make
the proportion of general paresis over
4 per cent.
Among seven state asylums, to which
1,942 patients were admitted in 1890,
there were &C cases of general paresis,
or little over 8 per cent. If per cent.
be the general.ratio for this disease in
the state of New York then the total
number of parctics among the $1,000 in
sane would be about 640 AS matter
of fact, the number is much greater,
because the proportion of this disease
is larger in the New York and Kings
county asylums than in those of the
state at large. But even if there were
but 1900 cases of general paresis
among the 100000 insane of this coun-
try it would be an extraordinary evil
dence of the development of disease
which in the last century was certainly
not known, even if it did exist.

ORIGIN OF HOKEY POKEY.
Leftover Ice Cream Bought at the Ho-
tells and Frozen Again.

Left-Over Ice Cream Bought at the HO-
tells and Frozen Again.
1t is an actual fact that old ice cream
is bought up by Italians and vendors
from restaurants and ice cream stands,
frozen a second and third time, and
again offered for sale, to be consumed
by the newsboys and general public
under the alluring title of hokey pol1ey,
says the New York Herald. Almost
every night these venders make the
rounds of all the hotels, and buy up
whatever has been left over from the
day previous. This cream has all
been melted more or less to it's original
consistency, and if it is still frozen
when they get it there is but little left
but fluid by the time it has reached
Brooklyn and the Italian quarter.
This melting process is the cause of
all the danger. Cream once having
been frozen and again melted very
readily turns sour. In this stage it is
poisonous. The vender of hoSey poley
cares little whether or not the cream is
sour. Quickly upon his return to his
quarters he freezes all this mush, and
packs it away for the next days use.
The few cases Of poisoning that have
come to the public notice are in ali
probability not the only ones that have
occurred, for physicians say that many
cases Of poisoning have occurred in the
districts where the hoIScy pokey vend-
ers are that could not be accounted for,
because of the suddenness of death.
1t has generally been understood that
certain establishments are putting out
large quantities of holSey pokey and
supplying the venders, but this is not
so The Italians and their families are
the only ones who manufacture and ca
ter to the consumers.

Classics.

An ancient controversy has recently
been revived in England by the ques-
tion as to what really constitutes
classic. Some define it as IAN ancient
author, highly approved, who is an au-
thority on the subject he treats of"
Goethe on the other hand, protested
against the confusion of what is classic
with what is merely old, and declared
that all 'healthy work." no matter
whether modern or ancient, is classic
The French Academy, speaking ex
cathedra, defines classic authors as
those who have become models in any
language" while Sante-Beuve declares
that true classic is an author who has
enriched the human mind" Indeed,
no two opinions on the subject seem to
coincide, and what appears to be a
classic to one sort of people is refused
that qualification by others.
