Mongolian Literature was the
subject for last Tuesday night II
wac a new field and deeply interest
ing to those fond of general litera-
ture. The class began the even.
ing's work by the examination OF
the Finus collection by 8. Lourott
and first sung on the shores of the
Gulf of Finland some ten centuries
before the Christian era. The name
of the epic the class read In this
field was called Kalevala. From
the rhythm some inferred that
Longfellow must have taken his
style in his Hiawatha from that.
The second work of the evening
was Turko. Tartaric Literature. The
birthplace of this literature was In
Central Asia directly east of the
Caspian Sea. The selection stud.
led was considered type of their
epics. A youth of marked courage
and strength, in spite of entreaties
of mother and sister, leaves home
to seek his fortune. He mounts the
best steed of the stud, which often
counsels and assists his rider. In
single combat he overcomes the
FIRST hero he meets, captures his
cattle and sister or daughter. and
returns home to celebrate his mar
riage In a great feast. Subsequent
ly he protects the clan living
around him. until in turn another
hero comes to wrest his possessions
from him. The chief trait is sub
Unity, but 1t is only material and
10 carried to extravaganza, 40 10
natural with barbarians and child.
rem. As marriage was by capture
or purchase, that precluded love
and romance.
The third subject for the evening
was the Chinese Literature. Their
language has much to do with their
literature. as their words are mon
osyilabic-that 10 words of one syl'
liable. II 10 not written by the use
of an alphabet but by the use OF
over twenty thousand distinct ideo'
graphs, or symbols-they are arbi-
trary characters like our figures, az
|s, which expresses what the word
eight expresses, that is, eight sin.
gle SlEings. Hence their words
couilu have no prefixes or suffixes,
and hence without infections like
the Greek and Latin, or the Ger.
man. From this important fact in
regard to their language, the class
could see that the, Chinese Ian
guage furnished but very little
play for the imagination, but q
broad field for the reason and the
memory.
The classic works of China are
those known az the Five Classice
and the Four Books. And for
twenty-five hundred years these
works have stood as the models OF
literature and the sole content OF
education in a land where educa-
ton forms the only avenue to pow
err. The Five Classics are the VI.
King, Book of Changes; the Shu.
King, Book of History; the Li-Ki,
Ceremonial Treaties; the Sinking.
Book Of Poetry; the Chun.Chu,
Spring and Autumn.
Next Tuesday evening the class
will complete Chinese Literature
and add Japanese. Let oil the class
be present at the next meeting lie
the request Of the secretary.

Fires Of Odd Origin.

The fire chiefs official report Of q
recent blaze in stationery store at
Thornton Heath, near London, was
that ''the outbreak was due to a cat
catching fire and running from the
sitting-room into the shop"
A fire at Louviers. France, the other
day had a very extraordinary origin.
A horse had been washed with paraf-
fin to cure it Of vermin, and was left
enveloped in a rug. Apparently the
animal became restless, and in paving
on the stone-paved floor, produced
sparks which caused the petroleum to
ignite for the stable was discovered IN
flames, but the horse was found to be
dead and very much burned by the fire,
which had beyond doubt originated
from the cause stated.
Woolton Windmill, a historic land
mark in Liverpool, England, was re-
Gently destroyed by fire caused by the
friction Of the sails, which were sent
round with terrific rapidity by the
heavy gale. The flour mill adjoining
with It's valuable contents, was also
destroyed. A grand spectacle was
presented when the burning sails were
whirling round They ultimately fell
on the steam mill adjoining. setting 1t

A Curious Exnerilnent.

sparrows stung by carpenter bees
have been seen to die quickly from
stoppage of respiration in com.
plete paralysis. NJ. LANCER
has killed rabbits and dogs By
inoculating them with bee poison,
which contains small quantity ol
formic acid and toxic alkaloid that
resists heat and cold as well as the
action of acids: Following OH this
line of investigation NJ. Phisalix, the
French authority on the venoms of
insects and reptiles, has established
beyond doubt that the poison of the
hornet in sufficient quantity renders
one immune to that of the viper. The
poison extracted from the stings of
fifteen hornets injected into the leg of
q guinea pig caused marked lower
ing of temperature, which lasted
thirty-six hours.
The redness and swelling produced
at the point of inoculatlon finally
reached the abdomen and ended in
modification of the skin. In SINH
lar experiment, where the same dose
of poison was heated to eighty degrees
for twenty minutes, there was no gen.
eral injury and the local action was
confined to slight temporary swell
ing. Likewise the incubation of a
glycerinated maceration of hornets
caused only slight local troubles.
But the organisms of the animals that
received this poison became able to
resist subsequent incubation with
viper's poison. This resistance is
such that guinea pig thus immunized
can support without the least danger
dose of viper's poison capable Of
killing him ordinarily in four or five
hours. The duration of the immunity
varies from five to eleven days.-Phil-
adelphia Telegraph.

Early Setting Hens.

March and April are the months for
setting hens. Chicks hatched later
than April will be too late to furnish
laying pullets in autumn. Hens which
set early are little more difficult to
manage because the broody fever is
not so strong as it is in warm weather,
but if carefully handled they can
usually be made to stick to q nest
when changed. The safest and easiest
way is to give each hen room by
herself. At first the nest should be
filled with china nest eggs, about a
dozen of them. These she cannot
break while getting accustomed to the
change, and she is much more likely
to set than upon an empty nest.
The nest should be carefully
made with a good foundation of earth
and chat, covered with fine hay. A
hen often knows q poor nest better
than her owner does and will refuse
to adopt it. Place her on the nest
and fix covering of cloth over it to
keep it dark. With these conditions
the hen will usually accept the situa-
tion. After day or two the genuine
eggs may be given her and the nest
uncovered. If she has separate room
and is given good supply of grain,
water, grit and dust bath. the hen
will require but little more attention.
