The Russian Prince.

At one of the duke of Hamilton's din
ners there was a Russian prince, whose
name L forget, and who sat on the right
band of the duchess. At the close of the
first course a servant brought round a
plate on which were a dozen little
square pieces of toast, with a delicate
morsel, apparently of meat, upon each.
which he elected from the duchess to
consist of the inside of a woodcock, and
considered a great delicacy. Uncon-
scious tina the plate was to 60 round,
be took it from the hands of the serv-
ant. placed it before him. and deliber-
ntely ate up the whole of it, saying that
he found it excellent; but he ascer-
tanned hat the delicate meat upon the
toast was not termed in polite circles
the "sromach," but was called the
trail" Whether that particular dish
or any other disagreed with his diges-
ton, 1 know not, but it happened that
he same night, a little before midnight,
the duke heard the footsteps of his
guest walking up and down in the pas
sage adjoining the rooms in which they
both slept. The duke lit a candle,
opened his door, and went up to his
quest, and inquired whether he was suf-
.ering any pain, and the latter replied:
Yes, I have got a very bad pain in my
trail "-Cornhill Magazine.

ANIMALS IN HISTORY
Important Part That They Have
Played since the Adam Incident.


Played Since the Adam Incident.
Ever since the ~serpent's entrance into
the Garden Of Eden, where he became
the disturbing element birds, beasts
and reptiles have played an important
part in the worlds history, says Lip
p%incott's.
According to the Moslem creed GER
tain animals besides man are admitted
into Heaven. Among them are
Balaam's ass, which reproved the dis
obedient prophet; Solomon's ant, which
rebuked the sluggard; Jonah's whale.
the ram of Ismael, caught by the horns
and offered in sacrifice instead of
Isaac; the dog Kratim of the Seven
Sleepers of Ephesus; the camel Of
Salek, the cuckoo of Belkis, the OK of
Moses, and Al-Borak. that conveyed
Mahomet to Heaven. Sometimes the
ass on which our Saviour rode into
Jerusalem and the one on which the
Queen of Sheba appeared when she Wis
tied King Solomon are added to the list.
These animals were said to be gifted
with the power of speech. Balaam's ass
spoke Hebrew TO his master on one oc-
casion- the AltBorak of the prophet
Mahomet spoke Arabic. and, according
to Greek mythology. Arion, the wonder
full horse which Hercules gave to
Adrastos, spoke good Greek; Xantho.,
one of the horses of Achilles, announced
to that hero in Greek his approaching
death, and the black pigeons gave the
responses in the temples of Ammon

A School Girls Nerves,
From TIE .NeU Era," G~reensbsrp, md

Nothen who have young daughters OF
school age should watch their health more
carefully than their studies. The proper
development of their body is of the first i'm
portance. Afer the confinement of the
school room, plenty of out-ofdoor exercise
should be taken. It IL better that their
children never learn their q, b, c's, than that
by learning them they lose their health.
But all this Ia self-evident. Everyone
admits it-everyone knows it, but everyone
does not know how to build them up when
once they are broken down. The following
method of one mother, If rightly applied,
may ave yoxr daughter:
The young lady was Miss Lucy Barnes,
Mrs. Stephen Barnes, who lives near Bur-
ney, Ind. She is q bright young lady, is
fond of books, although her progress in this
lin has been considerably retarded by the
perienced. She has missed two years of
school on account of her bad health, but now
she will be able to pursue her studies, since
her health has been restored.
Her father was talking of her case to a
newspaper man one day recently. my
daughter has had q very serious time of il, "
said Mr.. Barnes, "but now re are all happy
to know that she is getting along all right
and is stronger than ever" Asked to relate
the story of his daughter, Mr.. Barnes con-
tinued: "About three years ago, when she
was twelve years old, she began to grow
weak and nervous: 1t was, of course, a deli
cate age for her. She gradually grew weaker
and her nerves were at such a tension that
the least little noise would ~irritate her very
much, and she was very miserable. There
wa q continual twitching in the arms and
lower limbs, and we were afraid that she
was going to develop st. Vitus' dance.
"She kept getting worse and finally we
had to take her from her school and her
studies. She was strong and healthy before,
weighing eighty-fve pounds, and in three

WASTING
How It Ii Done by the Motormen ON
| Cara.

How H Ii Done by the MOtormen ON
Cara.
Carelessness OF h part of the motor
man is, according to recent investiga-
tions, thes cause of a great waste of
electrical force. This occurs at the
starting and stopping. Sometimes the
power is left on until after the brakes
are Set, at other times there are merely
partial currents, but quite enough to
foot up a considerable aggregate. In
fact, it is estimated hat as much as
20 per cent. of power may be lost in
this way. So noticeable has this De-
come that it has been found advisable
to adopt a very simple device by means
of which the lost current is, at least
approximately, measured, and the
amount thereof can be charged up
against the unskillful Or careless motor
man. This device consists of a strip of
alloy placed in a box prepared to re-
ceive it. The alloy is held against the
wire by a weight attached to the lower
end of the strip. 1t is supported by a
short piece of German silver wire of
such cross section as to be heated by
the current which flows through it to
operate the car. At a certain tempera-
ture the wire melts its way through the
strip of alloy, thus allowing the strip
and weight to descend. There is an au-
tomato device to prevent injury to the
recorder or the stoppage of the car in
ease the wire should melt under an alb
normal current. The recorder is pushed
into place, at the same moment clos
inp the car circuit. To insure its use
the arrangement is such hat unless
the recorder is in place the circuit is
open, and the car will not start. A rec
ord is kept of the number of miles each
man runs, and the number of inches of
alloy melted during the run. This is
returned at the end of a month and is
posted up over against the mans name.
1t has been estimated that a consider
able saving is effected by this means.-

o TREE S.
Correctness of the Theory That The
Denot Age Proved.

VI ~ nCohy Aheh nv
Denote Age Proved.
Although forestry experts in Eu-
rope for more than a century have held
the theory of determining the age of a
tree by the ring markings to be abso-
lately reliable, many attempts have
been made in this country to disprove
it. To give its official support to the
theory the forestry division of the de-
partment of agriculture has just is
sued a pamphlet on The Annual Ring"
These yearly rings, in addition to be-
ing sufficiently well defined to be read
lily counted. are alternately bands of
lighter and darker colors, the former
being the 'spring wood" as it is known
to forestry experts. while the latter is
the summer wood" The rings in a
tree grown in a park or under general
ly favorable conditions are in marked
contrast to those in trees which were
hampered when young%so marked. in
deed, as to readily be noticed. In width
the rings vary from one-eighth inch to
three-eighths inch in hardwoods TO
from one-twentieth inch to one-eighth
inch in conifers.
In the determination of the age of a
tree OF OF a particular section IL is DE
sirable to make a clean. smooth cut;
and in trees like poplar and willow, and
even in birch, ii is most convenient to
cut out the particular cross section and
allow it to dry before the counting is
attempted. In many woods, il of thrifty
growth, a clean saw cut is sufficient and
the aid Of the knife may be dispensed
with. Generally a magnifying glass of
some kind is helpful and in many cases
Indispensable, while with extraor-
binary specimens even a compound mi
crosrope will be needed.
