CHALLENGED GOD.
A Seeding Forced Open the Walled
Tomb Of an Infidel COuntess.

A Seeding Forced Open the Walled
Tomb OF an Infidei Countess.
"In the town of Hanover, in Ger
many" Evangelist Moody writes in
Ladies' Home Journal, there is buried
a German countess who denied the
existence of God and ridiculed the
idea of the resurrection. To further
show her contempt for Christianity
she ordered that on her death her
grave should be built up Of solid
masonry and covered by large stones
bound together by iron clamps. On
this tomb was engraved her defiant
challenge that through eternity this
tomb should never be disturbed. But
one day the seed from some tree,
either blown by the wind or carried by
a bird, became lodged in small crevice
of the tomb, where soon it sprouted
and began to grow. And then, as if
nature had seemed to mock the
naughty infidel, she quietly extended
the delicate root of that Seeding un-
der the massive blocks of stone, and
slowly raised them from their place.
And now, although scarcely four
generations are passed since that
tomb was sealed that insignificant
seeding has accomplished what God
Himself was challenged to accom-
plish."

Original Ideas Advanced by an I'm.
telligent Savage Of Ten der Years.
There is nothing more original than
the early composition of an Indian
boy. The following example is still
preserved as an instance in which its
savage author epitomized in uncon-
scious parable and with excellent hu-
NOR the relations OF the red man and
his white brother, says the New York
Mail and Express. 1t is entitled !:
"Story of Good Bird and Bad Cat"
The essay follows:
"One day, bright day, little bird
happy and stood on log and sang all
day long. That bird doesn't know
anything about cat. She thinks no.
body is near to her. But behind the
near log old sly cat is watching. She
want to eat for supper, and she thinks
about stealing all the time. The old
cat came very slowly, and by and by
she go after the little bird, but she
does not see him and sang loud again.
She sang loud like this: Il am always
try to do what is right; wen I ever die 1
60 to Heaven That bird said these
all words, and I shall not forget the
little bird what it said, and these all
words it said and after two or three
minutes 60 died; the cat jumped and
catch and kill, eat all up except little
things from bird, wings, legs or skin,
and that bird is glad die because she
is very good bird. The little bird has
last time sang and very happy was the
little bird after that. l think the old
cat have good dinner and happy just
the same as the bird was at first time"

Power Of the Heart.

The human heart is practically a
force pump about six inches in length
and four inches in diameter. 1t beats
seventy times per minute, 4,200 per
hour, 1OO,SOO times per day, and &c.
1872, 900 times per year, and 2,575, 49,
O0O-say two thousand five hundred
and seventy-five millions four hun
dred and forty thousand-times in
seventy years, which is "man's ap-
pointed three score years in ten." At
each of these beats it forces p ounces
of blood through the system, 175
ounces per minute, 6564 pounds per
hour, or 7.O3 tons per day. All the
blood in the body, which is about ~
pounds, passes through the heart
every three minutes. The little Or
gan pumps every day what is equal to
lifting 122 tons one foot high or one
ton 122 feet high-that is one ton to
the top of forty-yard mill chimney.
During the seventy years of a mans
life this marvellous little pump. with
out single moments rest, night or
day, discharges the enormous quantity
of 17S,8D tons OF human blood.

WOMAN'S BEAUTY.


How Long 1t Should Last Under
Favorable Circumstauces.
The physical beauty of women
should last, growing more and more
mellow, until the end. That the
beauty of women, like that of men,
should be determined from the stand
point of advancing maturity cannot
be disputed. 1t is absurd to claim
that the ripe, rich beauty of 40
is less attractive than the budding
maturity of sweet 16. When women
live in harmony with natures laws,
each stage of life has its own charm.
The fullness of beauty does not reach
its zenith under the age of 35 or 40.
Helen of Troy came upon the stage
at the age of 4S. Aspasia was 36
when married to Pericles, and she was
a brilliant figure 30 years thereafter.
Cleopatra was past 80 when che met
Antony. Diane de Poitiers was SO
when she won the heart of Henry II.
The king was han her age, but his de-
votion never changed. Anne of
Austria was 38 when described as the
most beautiful woman in Europe.
Nine. de Maintenon was 43 when
united to Louis, and Catherine of
Russia was 33 when she seized the
throne she occupied for IS years.
Mile. Mar was most beautiful at As
and Nine. Recamier between the ages
of 35 and IS.
The most lasting and intense pas
sion is not inspired by two decade
beauties. The old saw about sweet
16 is exploded by the truer knowledge
that the highest beauty does not mean
immaturity, for beauty does not mean
alone the fashion of form and coloring
as found in the waxen doll. The dew
of youth and complexion of roses are
admirable for that period, but a wo-
mans best and richest years are from
36 to 40. 1t is an arrant error for any
woman to regard herself as passe at
any age if she grows old gracefully.

FACTS ABOUT FIREARMS.
Figures Concerning Their Origin
Their Uses and Abuses.

Their Uses and Abuses.
In olden times Bladensurg, Nd,
was the scene of many sanguinary
duels.
One of the highest shot towers in
the world is to be found at Bilach, in
Carintha, where there is fall of 249
feet.
A really first-class sporting gun will
cost from 500 to $500, according to
the quality of the workmanship.
The bullet which killed Lord Nelson
at Trafalgar is still preserved. 1t is
mounted in crystal locket, and re-
poses in a crimson bag with gold
tassels.
Large numbers of flint-lock guns six
feet long are made in England at $1.5O
each, and many of these weapons find
ready market in darkest Africa.
The rifle was introduced into the
United States army about the begin
ming of the present century. They
were of such primitive makes that
mallets were served out with each rifle
to ram the bullets home.
To "knock the spots off anything"
is an illusion to the traditional skill
of Western cowboys and famous rifle
shots, who would shoot the spots out
of card held between the fingers of a
friend.
Elongated rifle bullets are made
from leaden rods. A machine cuts
them into the required lengths, stamps
them into shape by means of steel dies
and drops them finished into box at
the rate of 1000 an hour.
Bullets, partially hollow, which ex-
pand in the wound, are sometimes
used for shooting deer, while hollow
headed explosive bullets are in request
for dispatching tigers, elephants and
other big game.
One of the longest shots ever fired
was fifteen miles, the range of Krupp's
well-known monster 13O.ton steel gun.
The 1OO-ton Armstrong gun has an
extreme range of fourteen miles, and
requires $50 pounds of powder. These
guns, however, proved too expensive,
becoming useless before they were fired
one hundred times.
The Beers pay we'll for their guns; in
fact, they buy the best that money can
buy. They are connoisseurs in select
ing their shooting irons," promptly
rejecting the inferior articles. This,
with their constant practice, is the
secret of their extraordinary skill as
marksmen, as was proved in 1881,
when men fell like ninepins before
their Westley-Richards rifles.
