A distinguished divine of unusually
solemn and impressive appearance went
to country town to lecture. He arrived
early in the afternoon, and all the town,
of course, spotted him within five min
utes as a very great and very sanity
man. He went into a chemists shop and
in tones that froze the young blood OF

Chief Means of Defense Among All Old
World Apes.

Chief Means of Defense Among All Old
World Apes.
Among all old world apes the teeth
are the chief weapons for defense
against natural foes and for combats for
mates or tribal supremacy. The CANNES
are in most cases enormously developed,
insomuch that i'll informed naturalists
have suggested that a near relationship
must exist between the primates and
the carnivora. AS matter of fact, these
formidable teeth have nothing to do
with Authorization, but are as purely
weapons Of war as are the bayonet and
the maxim gun. In practically every
emergency demanding unusual energy.
obstinacy and courage they come into
play.
In every conflict with the world, the
flesh and the devil-as such things are
understood in pithecoid society-the
temporal and masseter muscles are the
chief arbiters of war. To become great
and powerful anthropoid it is absolute
~ and brutally necessary to have u
large and strong jaw, to give firm at
tachment to the teeth and good leverage
to the muscles. That for an immense
epoch our prehuman ancestors achieved
success in life in like manner is as clear
as the print of 'Maga" to those who
have learned to read natures handwrit-
ing.
Since those days Of true Arcadian
simplicity our life has become bewilder'
ingly complex, and our methods for set.
Ting social, difficulties have changed
generally for the better. But here. as IN
so many other instances, the habits of Q
past age have left an indelible impress
on the nervous system. -Blackwood' I

THE "DELIGHTFuL POISON. I"
Peculiar Manner In Which winemaking
In Persia Originated.

In Persia Originated.
''In the Kingdom of the SHAH" by Dr.
Preacher Collins, the author tells of the
origin of winemaking in Persia 1t was
during the reign of King Jamsheed that
the vineyards Of Shiraz, as today, were
noted for the superlative quality of the
grapes they produced on account of the
variations of temperature-the intense
cold of winter and extreme heat of sum-
mer-to which they were subjected.
King Jamsheed was exceedingly fond
of Shiraz grapes, and in order to enjoy
them throughout the year conceived the
idea of preserving them in jar. Fer
mentation, of course, took place, and
when the jar was opened and found to
contain quantity of acid liquid it was
looked upon as poison by the king. He
placed it in bottles and labeled it as
such. On certain occasion one of his
female favorites, who was sorely afflict-
ed with q nervous headache, discovered
the bottles marked "poison" and swal-
lowed the contents of one in the hope of
putting an end TO her life. The effect,
however, was to throw her into deep
sleep, from which she awoke much be-
freshed. The result was Sd delightful
that she frequently repeated the dose un-
til all the supposed poison was con-
sumed.
The king, who missed the bottles,
caused inquiry to be made, and the Sc
cret of their disappearance was revealed.
| This led to the manufacture of wine
from Shiraz grapes, which to this day is
known as Zeher-e- Khoosh. or 'the de-
lightful poison. The laws of the Koran
against the use of spirituous liquors are
generally very rigidly observed, particu-
larly among the poorer classes. DIR. Col

work. Unlike their western prototypes,
who cannot exist without beer or spirits,
they refresh themselves only with a suck

sweltering heat of summer or the in
tense cold of winter. Tipping in Persii

CONSULTING THE CLOCK.
Familiar Faces That Are Seldom Over

One of the popular habits of the peo-
pie of New York city is to consult the
clock almost on every occasion when an
opportunity is presented. 1t matters lit
tie whether any special need requires
that consultation or not, the clock will
thus be consulted Especially is this the
case if particular clock has the repu-
tation of being good timekeeper. So

ers that they will place clocks in their
stores SO situated as TO be easily seen by
persons who may be passing along the
adjacent sidewalk. If the clock has "A

fortunate enough to carry watch,
