The History OF HEALTH,

10 trace the history OF the search
OF the human race after health would
DC almost tantamount to writing the
history of the race itself A careful
examination of the position which
hygiene now holds will, we think, jus.
THY us in alleging that it has made
such advances as may fairly entitle it
to take its place among the progress
sive If not absolutely exact sciences.
Its literature has been said with truth
to be among the Oldest in the world.
We cannot doubt that in order of
chronology the first rame to he hon.
ored is that of Moses, as the author of
the most complete and detailed svs-
TEN of hygiene in ancient times. We
may be pretty sure that the code of
Moses was the outcome of the wisdom
and experience of long past ages. Be
that as it may, however, We cannot
ont admire the excellent precepts laid
down for the cleansing and purifying
Of house and camp, for the security of
pure water, for choice of good and
wholesome food, for the isolation of
the sick and the unclean and for the
destruction OF refuse. 1t would not
be too much to say that g fairly strict
adherence to the Mosaic law would
have preserved mankind from many
of the disastrous plaques which have
afflicted it. During the Middle Ages
the Jews enjoyed remarkable immu-
4lity from outbreaks of epidemic dis
case--an immunity which still distin-
guishes them in onr own time. New !

Red Rocks Mark Ncr Grave

In sight Of the Erie tracks, between
SusQuehanna and Great Bend, are tho
cred Rocks" a red cliff standing
above the Susqnehanna River. Near
them can be seen traces of the grave
of beautiful Indian maiden, the
daughter of a famous chief. She was
betrothed to a young brave, o mem.
Der of the fathers tribe, then en-
camped near here. Her father de-
sired her to marry the son of tho
chief of the ne,ghboring tribe. and
the wish OF the paternal ancestor
usually counted for something.
In consequence, she resolved to fly
to the ''happy hunting grounds" and
one night she stole noiselessly from
her wigwam, and, with the death song
upon her lips, flung herself from the
high cliff, her ]ife's blood staining tho
rocks below, and to that day have re.
tanned the reddish hue which the rains
and floods OF century have failed to
etface.
When the maidcn's lover saw her
corpse be retired to cave in
the mountains, and was never seen
alive again. Forty years later bis
petrified body was found in the cave
by wandering remnant of the tribe.
Under his body were found the long
raven tresses OF the old chiefs daugh.

Inherited Strange Talent.

William Wilmer, of Wolfsville.
Ind. claims to have inherited tho
faculty OF charming reptiles through
his ancestors, and the fearful exposi-
ton of his bravery with snakes as re-
lated by him is enough to give one o
fit OF horror. The other day while on
visit in the mountains of Penusyl,
vania, he caught q number of spotted
vipers and let them bite him on the
arm until they hung in a wriggling
mass.
Recently he vas surprised by big
RATHER while picking berries on the
mountain, and as the snake sprang at
him he leaped forward and caught it
with his hand. The influence he pro-
fesses to have over the scaly creatures
soon qaieted his victim. A day or
two ago Mr. Wilmer caught a large
RATHER (which lie now has>, but tho
snake was averse to human inter-
ference and fastenedupon the charmcr's
thumb, striking its venomous fangs
into bis flesh. He says that he didn't
mind it bit, because he has remedy

IN fifteen minutes, and that he will
pay 500 for any instance where he

Pennies Not Popular.

It is estimated that many hundred
pennies ere collected by tho Broad
way car conductors in the course of q
day, and as they cannot turn them in
at the end OF their days work, they
often have trouble IN disposing OF
them. In speaking Of this a cable car
conductor said to g New York Mail
and Express reporter:
"Women are almost sure to give us
pennies, and they often search their
pocketbooks for these coins. We usu-
ally gives number Of pennies back in
change when bill is given us, and
We see that women get their fair
share. The reason why the company
will not receive pennies is because it
would take too long to count them
all"

4 True Bear Story

Speaking Of law and the enforce.
ment Of discipline in Yellowstone
Park, writes Charles Dudley Warner
in Harper's Magazine, I heard the
story OF bear there, which consider
exceedingly important not only as a
comment on the discipline of the
park, but as o moral lesson to parents
in domestic obedience. The story is
literally true, and if it were not I
should not repeat it, for it would have
no value. MIR. Kipling says "the law
of the jungle is Obey" This also
seems to be the law OF Yellowstone
Park. There il a lunch station at the
Upper Basin, near Old Faithful, kept
by u very intelligent and ingenious
man. He got acquainted last year
with she bear, who used to come 10
his house every day and walk into the
kitchen for food for herself and he~
two cubs. The cubs never came. The
keeper got on very intimate terms
with the benr, who was always civil
and we'll behaved, and would take
food from his hand without taking
the hand. One day towards sunset
tho bear came to the kitchen, end hay.
ing received her portion, she went out
Of the hack door to carry it to her
cubs. 70 her surprise and anger the
cubs were there waiting for her. She
laid down the food, ard rushed st her
infants and gave them rousing
spanking. ''Ehe did not cuff them;
she spanked them" and then she
drove them back into the woods, cuff.
ing them and knocking them at every
step. When she reached the spot
where she had told them to Wait, she
left them there and returned to the
house. And there she stayed in the
kitchen for two whole hours, making
the disobedient children wait for their
food, simply to discipline them and
teach them obedience. The explnna.
tion is very natural. When the bear
leaves her Young in q particular place
and goes in search Of food for them,
if they stray away in her absence she
hos great difficulty in finding them.
The mother knew that the safety of
her cubs anu her own peace OF mind
depended upon strict discipline in the
family. Oh, that VIC had more such
mothers in the United States.
