Some Explanations of the Oceans Salt.
The Pythagoroans held that the sea
was salt by reason of tho tears shed by
Kronos, father of zeus. According to
the old Hebraic tradition. the ocean was
originally great body of fresh water,
but which was made salt by the album
dant tears of tho fallen angels. One sect
of Buddhists believe that Lots wife

which was once the wife of the humble
gentleman named above-lies at the
bottom of the ocean in a certain narrow
strait, and that once each year the wa.

The saber used by the United State,
cavalry is copied from the scimiter of the
Saracens, which was the most effective
sword for cutting purposes ever devised.
1t will be remembered how, according to
the story told in Sir Walter Scott's "Tal-
isman, " with such weapon the pagan
Saladin chopped n soft cushion in two at
one blow, to the amazement of Richard
CUur de Lion. With straight sword one
can make hack or thrust, but to slice an
adversary one must saw with it. The
scimiter, being curved and wide and heavy
toward the end, slices by the mere fact of
striking The kind of bayonets chiefly
used by the Federal troops during the war
of the rebellion was the old triangular
pattern. Sword bayonets were also en-
ployed on guns imported from Europe.
During the last 10 years the regulation
bayonet has been of the "ramrod" type
n hideous instrument, cylindrical and of
the thickness Of a ramrod, with n sharp
screw point like that of carpenters bit.
1t is now to be replaced with the knife
bayonet, which somewhat resembles
butchers knife, is IL inches long, with
one edge. 1t is quite as effective and much
lighter than the sword bayonet. The lat
ter is being dispensed with by most of the
European nations in favor of the knife
bayonet The bayonet was French in
vention. In the early days of firearms sol
diers used to carry both guns and pixies,
but the notion of attaching the pike to the
gun in suclA manner that both could be
used at the same time was the beginning
of the idea of the bayonet. Troy Times.

Forming Characters.

No human being can come into this
world without increasing OF diminish
ing the sum total of human happiness
not only of the present but every SUISSE
quent age Of humanity. No one can de-
tacb himself from this connection.
There is no sequestered spot in the uni
verse, 10 dark niche along the disk of
nonexistence, to which he can retreat
from his relations to others, where he
can withdraw the influence of his exist
ence upon the moral destiny of the
world. Everywhere his presence or alb
sence will be felt Everywhere he will
have companions who will be better or
worse for his influence. It is an old say
ing, and one Of fearful and fathomless
import, that we are forming characters
for eternity. Forming characters !
Whose? Our own or others? Both, and in
that momentous fact lie the peril and
responsibility of our existence. Who is
sufficient for the thought? Thousands of
my fellow beings will yearly enter eter-
nifty with characters differing from those
they would have carried thither had L
never lived. The sunlight of that world
will reveal my finger marks in their
primacy formations and in their success
sive strata of thought and life.-Elihu

THE MODERN OYSTER STEW.
The Middle Aged Man Contrasts IL with
tho Stew Of Before the War.

"When was boy, before the war. "
said middle aged man, 'the price of
an oyster stew in a good ordinary res
taurant was l26 cents. The price has
gradually gone up until now, in good
restaurant. an ordinary stew costs 20
cents In the old restaurant there was
cloth upon the table, but this cloth,
unless you happened to find it when it
had just been put on, was apt to be fres-
coed with coffee stains There were
catchup and vinegar and so OH, some of
them perhaps in bottles in "A caster.
Perhaps the waiter gave you pickle or
two The light was not very bright.
Tho waiter brought the stew in an oys-
ter plate and as the hot broth washed
about little in the plate as he carried
it and set il down you were afraid il
might burn his thumb But the oysters
were good. Let mo pause to remark that
the oyster is something to bo grateful
for
To-day the table, without cloth
perhaps, is cherry or mahogany, finely
polished. For a cloth there is spread
before you napkin of ample dimen-
sions and bright and fresh. The pickle
is chopped up celery and very good.
You get two kinds of crackers, and
plenty Of them, and generous portion
of French bread. The butter comes in
n slightly little cone. The table furni-
turo is all good-dishes, glass, every
thing The spread before you is agree
able to the eye, and the whole scene is
brilliantly lighted with the modern in
candescent lamps The stew comes in
an oval dish that rests upon plate. |
don't like To eat out of such dish so
we'll as | do out Of plate, but you
know at least there is no danger burn
ing the waiter s thumb The oysters are
good; the whole arrangement is away
beyond the stew of before the war. IL
costs more, but are we not better able to
pay for it? For general get up and get
and dash and style and comfort the old
stew couldn't begin to compare with it.
The modern oyster stew Is one of many
things that we do an everlasting sight
better than we did. New York Sun

New Scheme For Abolishing War.

It is n noteworthy fact that although the
gospel of peace has been proclaimed
throughout every nook and corner of Eu-
rope for nearly 1000 years, that continent
is today an armed camp from the British
islands to the Caucasus and from the
North sea to the Mediterranean.
From the first Christmas day until the
latest one and upon every Sabbath in the
year Christian people have been repeating
the words first heard by Syrian shepherds,
"Peace on earth. - This is Christian pre-
cept. Now for Christian practice. There
is scarcely male child born whose first
present, after the rattle and the rubber
doll, is not n drum, a sword or gun.
The gun is seldom loaded, which is good
enough, and the sword is made of wood
but the smallest child soon knows that
these things are meant to kill something
or somebody, and he hopes to do something
in that line when he becomes a big man.
When children are trained from the
cradle to respect the rights and feelings of
others, they will not be eager when they
become men to go out and kill other men
whom they have never seen and who have
never done them injury. This is slow
process, but all the great movements of
nature are slow, without haste and with
out rest. But this is the way to the stars,
and the ladder to the highest heaven must
have its lowest rung close to mother earth.

HE PYRAMIDS oE EGYPT.
How Were They Reared and How Wa.
the Material Gathered?


The pyramids of Egypt, for long and
to this day included among the world s
wonders, are 20 be regarded as marvel
Gus triumphs Of mechanical skill. OF
these there are many scattered over the
Nile valley. some Of brick. some Of stone
and Of varied height. Tho two largest
are in the neighborhood Of Cairo. They
years the most colossal monuments IN
the world.
Tho largest, that Of Cheops, in its
original state Is said to have been 500
feet high and the length Of its base on
each side the same. IL is built Of huge
stones ranging from 2 to feet in
height. 1t is now rugged and has tho
character as we'll as the appearance Of o
four sided great stairway The hollows
between tho steps are believed TO have
been filed In with white marble, which
would shine like snow under the bright
Egyptian sun. The pyramid is now
much reduced in height, not being more
than 500 feet IL j. generally admitted
that the pyramids were built for tombs
and ON certain astronomical principles
There is an inner chamber where the
sarcophagus was placed. When mon
arch began TO reign, he commenced to
build his tomb When he died, his body
was placed in the sacred chamber pre-
pared for il, and tho opening which led
to it was closed The pyramid was
then completed II tho monarch reign
was long, the pyramid was large. II
short. tho pyramid was small.
How those great structures were
rearod-how the huge masses were
brought together and put in their places

satisfactorily answered. OF mechanical
forces some OF the early peoples seem to
have had much moro knowledge than

Metatarsalgia, or fourth toe disease,
has been the subject of much scientific
discussion. Many patients have been
operated ON, the operation consisting of
the removal of portion of the bone OF
the toe. which had become highly in
famed. A new form Of treatment is
that Of shaping the shoe that the weight
will not come directly upon the ball Of
the foot, but slightly back of the ball,
and this is secured by making the ankle
and instep close fitting and the toe and
bali very broad and easy. One physician
advises that a depression be made in
the sole of the shoe just beneath the
fourth toe, so that there shall be no
pressure from any direction. This works
well in some cases, but in others the
surgical remedy is the only successful
one. New York Ledger.

AN OLD PRusslAN DISH.
'rBeerfish" Is Alleged to Be Good whei
It L. Served steaming Hot.


~ L. Served steaming Hot.
There is a dish dear to every Prus-
SLAMS heart, which may be, however,
absolutely new in this country. All
Germans may not know it, as it is not
made in south Germany except in iso-
lated cases. Beer is not its chief ingre-
dent, but 1t plays an important part in
the makeup.
Tho dish is known as beerfish, and
the German carp, praised of epicures, is
herein treated in a manner worthy of
the fish It must be made with half
beor, or, in the absence of this. with
weiss beer and porter. The fish is cut,
not in half. like shad. but in sections
or squares. Three or four cuts across
tho fish are all that is necessary OF
course the fish must DO cleaned.
A large glazed pot is used. A layer Of
large onions is placed ON tho bottom Of
the pot On this are sprinkled various
spices; then a layer Of substance call
cd fish pfefferkuchen. which has more
OF loss fish substance in it and can be
procured at any German grocery or deli
catessen store; then layer of sliced
lemon; then carp. This is repeated until
the pot is full
A layer of onions is placed ON top and
beer is poured into the whole mass until
all the intorstices are filed II is cook
ed for go minutes over slow fire, mean
time adding a spoonful of vinegar and
another of sugar. Beeriish is delicious
when IL is cooked and served steaming
hot. But its good qualities do not end
here. for after It is cold it offers allure
ments which mako it hard to decide
which way it tastes bettor, hot or cold.
