working for the success of the enemy.

Tiger Teeth a Foot In Length.

Ono Of the old time monsters which
roamed over this Fart of the North
American Continent in the carly ages
of geology. inhabiting all that vast
scope of country which lies between
the Mississippi and the Rocky Noun
tains, was the saber toothed tiger. Flo
was probably twice thu size of any
member of the cat tribe now existing,
and had canine teeth, each foot in
length, shaped like sabers or curved
knives, each tooth having a saw like
edge. They lived at the same time 90
the mastodon, the gigantic sloths and
the megatheria did, and are believed
to have been great factor in the e1-
formation of those gigantic vegetable
eating beasts. In some portions Of the
region inhabited by the saber toothed
tiger it WIS much more abundant than
in others. Northern and Eastern
Texas appears to have been one of its
favorite haunts. In tho localities mem
toned the teeth, the only portions OF
its remains that are now found, have
been picked up by the dozens. In one
place in Southern Oklahoma two of the
saber like teeth of one of these mon.
sters were found in sinking a we'll.
One was found nineteen feet under
ground and the other two and hall
feet deeper down.

TIE Sense OF Touch

The question has been asked, Which
Of our senses is most capable of i'm.
p-cvement? An English scientist
says probably the sense of touch.
Strictly speaking, the senses ere
capable rather of alteration and spec.
ial1zation than Of improvement. For
instance, those who have much to do
in the open air become immensely
long"sighted; but this is abnormal,
and the increased superiority in one
direction is compensated for by infer.
lority in another.
But there are many trades which af-
ford abundant evidence that the sense
Of touch. at any rate in certain direc.
tions, can be largely developed. For
instance, the connoisseur OF china re.
lies much more on IN almost imper-
ceptible difference Of feeling in the
texture than on his eyes to discover
the genuineness OF any piece.
The blind beggar can very soon dis.
Germ between different metals merely
by tho sense of touch, and, in fact,
the education OF the blind affords q
remarkable instance OF the develop.
ment of this sense. In certain manu-.
fnctures the skilled workman knows
entirely by this sense when mixture
has reached the proper degree OF sol.
ldity or material is OF the right tex.
ture, and be receives very high wages
by virtue Of this sense alone.
On the other hand, the sense of
smell and the sense of taste are, eech
of them, blunted and lose their finer
perception if the same object is fro :
quently presented to them. In every
case, however, it is not the general
sense OF touch that is improved, but a
special excellence OF the sense.

Need for Sleep.

4 Ey far the most important compen-
eatlon for oil effects Of fatigue Is sleep.
Every body, even the man mentally
most inert. develops when awake a
mass Of mental effort which he cannot
afford continuously without suffering.
We need, therefore, regularly recur-
ring periods in which the consumption
of mental force shall be slower than
the continuous replacement. The
lower the degree to which the activity
OF the brain sinks then, the more rapid
anu more complete the recovery.
The mental viSor OF most men is
usually maintained at certain height
for the longest time in the forenoon.
Evidences OF fatigue come on later ut
that time OF day than in tho evening,
when the store of force in our brain
hos boen already considerably drawn
upon by the whole days work. If no
recovery by sleep is enjoyed, or it is
imperfect, the consequences will in
variably make themselves evident the
next day IN q depression OF mental
vigor, as we'll as in rise in the per-
sonal susceptibility to fatigue. The
rapidlty with which one of the per-
sons ! experimental upon could per-
form his tasks in addition sank about
a third after night journey by rail-
way with insufficient sleep. Another
experimenter could detect the effects
Of keeping himself awake NIL night in
gradual decrease Of vigor lasting
through four days. This observation
was all the more surprising because
the subject was not conscious of the
long duration of the disturbance, aud
was first made aware OF it incidentally
by the results of continued measures
ments on the causes of the manifesto
tions of fatigue. Popular Science

No Patents in japan.

No patent is granted to foreigner
IN Japan. No foreign inventor, by
applying through Japanese citizen,
can obtain patent except by fraud.
If patent were obtained by false
representation that the Japanese citi'
zen was the inventor, and it was dis
covered that he was not, the patent
would be at once cancelled. It is pre-
cisely the same with trade marks and
designs-there is no registration and
no protection. The result is that all
goods of foreign produce and manu-.
facture, of which the label is worth
copying, can be bought all over Japan
of japanese manufacture, and at q
quarter of a fractional part Of the cost
OF the original and genuine foreign
made article.

An Improved White Ilousc

Tine residence Of the President OF
United States ought to be worthy
OF the office. The present White
House Is equal to all the requirements
OF such residence, so far as it goes.
1t is simple and diguifed building.
whose beauty is constant delight to
aprSeclatlve persons. 1t was con.
celved and carried out by the arcni.
tect who planned it in tho proper
SPIRIT but 1t is not large enough for
the purposes to which it is necessarily
put. The country and the city Of
Washington have grown, and the presl-
dents house has not grown with them.
A large part Of it is given up to the
business offices Of the President, his
private secretary, and his clerks, ani,
the Presidents family are deprived of
the use OF another large part Of the
lower floor of the house because it is
necessarily on public view most of the
time. The family is therefore crampe al
Tor proper accommodations, and there
a7e no rooms for the entertainment of
guests. Moreover the house is so
badly arranged as to entrances, exits
and Railways that state reception
there is always an uncomfortable and
dangerous jam, while many m invited
guest, and many officers who attend
certain functions under orders, have
been made seriously i'll because they
have bssn compelled to stand for
hour2in cold or stormy weather until
they could gain admittance through
she single door that can be used for
the purpose.
The deficiencies of the White House
nre SO thoroughly recognized in Wash
inston that for many years efforts
have been making to secure worthier
accommodations for the President.
Some of these efforts have been in the
wrong direction, because they have
contemplated other buildings, foreign
to the intent and character of tho
White House, within the same grounds.
Other efforts still ore attempts OF
spectators to move the site of the
marsion to the hills north of the city.
The White House, with all its
charms and memories, should be pre-
served, and it should remain on it's
present beautiful and historic site, its
fine grounds unencumbered By othec
structures. In furtAerance Of this
idea, plan prepared by Mr.. Arthur
J. Dillon shows conclusively that the
White House can be made not only
abundantly spacious, but even ic:-
proved, while its architectural features
will be at the same time preservcl.-

The ApDle Era.

"Apples, apples, apples, is the cry
OF the season. Apples for indigestion,
apples for the complexion, apples for
insomnia, and ever more apples for
everything. One man complains that
after paying big doctors fee for adj
vice concerning sleeplessness, his ply
stefan as g finally said, "There is no
better remedy for your complaint than
eating good Juicy apple just before
retiring. It is light, easily digested,
and creates just the amount of heat in
your stomach necessary to bring the
blood from the brain and so promote
resttulness in that busy organ"
A girl whose complexion has been a
source Of worry for months has tho
same experience to relate. "Use this

SMartest OF All ,Wcnkcys.

Consul, who is reputed to be the
most brilliant monkey in the world,
now plays the violin, in addition to
his numerous other accomplishments.
This animal has already been heard
from. On his first appearance in print
it was narrated how he sat at tho table
clothed and in his right mind and ate
like gentleman.
Consul is SO gifted an animal that
he goes far to support the theory that
his relatives are first cousins OF man,
and easily first among the animals in
intelligence. In his latest book Pro.
lessor R. L. Garner, the intimate
friend of gorillas. acknowledged Con-
sui to be the ablest monkey in the
world.
Consul is chimpanzee, and, there.
fore, belongs to the highest order OF
simlans. he is now in the Zoo at
Manchester, England.
Playing the violin issshis very latest
accomplishment. He does this with
much vigor and enthusiasm. Consid.
ering his small size he holds the in
strument very correctly. His keeper
says that he had little difficulty in
teaching him, for at that time his
education was already far advanced.
10 tell tho truth, Consul does not pro.
duce combination Of sounds very
pleasing to the human ear, with its
conventional idea Of music. No doubt
he is carrying out chimpanzee theory
OF harmony.
According to our ideas, he would be
considered much better bicyclist
than musician. He performs upon the
two wheels with more ekill than any
animal who has yet ventured into this
field. His keeper says that he makes
guys of all the animals in Mr.. Hagen
beck's circus who pretend to be cy.
clists.
Equally wonderful are his perform
ances with the razor. He shaves not
only himself, but Keeper Webb. The
latter has taught him to do these
tricks, the performance of which
proves as much courage in the man as
skill in the monkey. Consul uses
razor. soap, towels and all the other
accessories of proper shaving.-New

Emigration From Sweden.

7O47, against &c., during the years
1892 and 1898, respectively. In con.
nection with the Swedish emigration
to the United States the report Of the
Swedish Postmaster General, just pub
lished, is interesting. For the yesr
1895, $1,91l,920 was received in
money orders from the United States,
while $277,3l0were sent from Sweden,
leaving q balance in favor Of Sweden
of $l,o34,G10. PROBABLY an equal
