Water.

That beautiful transparent stone call
ed Tabriz marble, much used in the
burial places of Persia and in their
grandest edifices. consists Of the petri-
fed water of ponds in certain parts of
the country. This p~etritication may be
traced from it's commencement to it's
termination. In n part the water is
clear, in a second it appears thicker and
stagnant, in a third quite black. and in
its last stage it is white like frost.
When the operation is complete. a
stone thrown on it's surface. makes no
impression, and one may walk over it
without wetting ones shoes. The sub
stance thus produced is brittle and
transparent, and sometimes richly
striped with red. green and copper color.
So much is this marble, which may be
cut into large slabs, looked upon as a
luxury that none but the king, his sons
and persons especially privileged are
permitted to take it.

Polish Jehus.

To drive slowly over cobblestones is
not a joy, but to drive four Russian
horses at a gallop over cobblestones was
something to make you bite your tongue
and to break your teeth and to shake
your very soul from it's socket. l most
solemnly assure you it was anything
but a simple drive to one fresh from the
asphalt of Paris, for. like Jehu, they
drove furiously Their horses are all
wild, runaway beasts. and they drive
them at an Uneven gallop resembling
the gait of our fire engine horses at
home, except that ours go more slowly.
Sometimes the horses fall down as
they drive across country, or stop only
for stone walls or meats. The carriages
must be built of iron, for the front
wheels drop a few feet into a burrow
every now and then, and at such times
an unwary American is liable to be
pitched over the coachman's head.
Hold on with both hands. shut your
eyes. and keep your tongue from be-
tween your teeth, would be my instruc-
tions to one about to ''take a drive" in

A Queer Kind Of Savage.

When Albert Henry "avage Lander

the Forbidden Land. thn fact was duly
chronicled. and the London press asso-
Citations sent cable messages to Austria

and manifold sufferinSs. The Melbourne
Times received but a short note. which
was this.
"a. Savage Lanior arrived in St.
Petersburg today from Tibet after
suffering greatly at the hands of the
natives"
This was meager enough, but the
news editor was equal to the occasion.

IA savage landor got into St. Peters

Not Quite Satisfactory,

A dog belonging to a west side family
has the sociable habit of visiting
throughout the neighborhood. During
a recent wet spell the dog went over to
a next door house and ''tracked' mud
all over the front porch. The woman Of
the house was indignant. She sent
word that the dog was a nuisance. The
woman who owned the dog was offend
ed. She resolved to make the complain
ing neighbor ashamed of herself.
"Mary, you take a bucket Of warm
water and a brush and go over and
scrub Mrs. Browns front porch" she
said to the servant girl. "Make it
cleaner than it has been in a year."
The girl did as she was ordered. Mrs.
Brown stood in the front door and
watched her. not at all abashed.
"That's very NICE" she said when
Mary had finished. ''Now come around
and begin on the back steps,"
She kept the girl at work for two
hours. and now there is a deadly feud.

browning glory Of the place is the Museo
del Prado, which, if not the finest in
Europe. at least ranks with the Louvre

rich in portraits Of the great kings Of
Spain. and it's chief treasures are the
works of Diego Valasquez, some 80 in
number. The light of the gallery itself
is perhaps poor, but the charm Of being
able to walk undisturbed and never
crowded amid this marvellous collection
of works by the masters is enough Of it.

collection Of armor at the palace is as
interesting as the Prado pictures, in a
way. and after these collections come
others less notable. but worthy OF a
great capital.

to CURE A FELON.
How to Treat Thes- Dangerous I'M
Painful Sores.

How to Treat Thes~ Dangerous and
Painful Sores.
A felor is a severe and usually a most
painful inflammation of the end Of the
finger, more commonly either the thumb
or index finger of the right hand, for
the reason that these are most exposed
to the little wounds from which the
trouble starts; but any Of the fingers,
or ever one Of the toes. may be the seat
Of a felon.
The Inflammation starts generally
from the prick of a pin or needle or
from a scratch or cut. but often the
wound is so slight that no notice Is
taken Of it until the finger begins to
grow sore. The soreness soon passes in
to actual pain, and this rapidly becomes
most intense and throbbing, and some
times Is felt all the way up the arm.
1t is worse when the hand is allowed
to hang down. The ball Of the finger is
hot, red and swollen. At the same time
the patient feels more or less i'll, is fe-
verish. and has a headache and rapid
pulse.
When the inflammation is deep seat
ed, pas collects beneath the periosteum,
or membrane covering the bone, and
this greatly increases the distress as
we'll as the danger. If allowed to go on
unrelieved, the inflammation may creep
mp the finger into the palm of the hand,
and then the condition becomessa most
serious \ In almost any case when
once pus has formed beneath the perios-
teum more or less of the bone will die.
leaving the end Of the finger crippled or
disfigured by a deep scar.
When the treatment is begun very
carly, It j. sometimes possible &c eat
SHIT tho Inflammation by cold cloths
applied continuously to the inhamed
part. These must be frequently renew
ed, for if allowed to get warm they will
act as poultices and rather hasten sup
puration than arrest it. At the same
time the arm should be kept in a sling.
with the hand raised and resting OF
the chest.
If the Inflammation does not rapidly
subside under this treatment. we must
reverse it and try to bring matters to
head by means Of poultices or wet
cloths applied as hot as they car b.
borne and changed very often.
The only thing to be done when pus
has formed is to cut the finger and let
it out. This is painful enough for the
instant, but it will prevent many days
of acute suffering and all danger of
severe Inflammation of the hand and
arm; with subsequent blood poisoning.

SECONDHAND SHOES.

Extensive Repairs May Be Made For
Very Little Money.
A sign hanging in front of a shoe
makers shop where secondhand shoes
were sold had upon it these words
''Secondhand Shoes With New Uppers. y
1t seemed almost as though a pair Of
secondhand shoes with new uppers
would be practically new shoes, but in
quiry showed that this impression W
not warranted by the facts. There is p
good deal of fresh material in a pair
shoes thus repaired, but there is all
left a good deal of the old.
The new upper thus put in is a new
vamp, the front part of the upper. The
old counter, OF back part of the shoe.
still remains. 1t is a familiar fact that
while the counter may break down OF
wear out or get a hole in it somehow it
is much more likely to stay sound and
good. It is the front that cracks and
breaks. And so in putting secondhand
shoes in order new vamps are some
times put in. But while such a shoe.
which had also been soled and heeled.
might easily be described as having un-
dergone extensive repairs it would still
be far from wholly new. There would
remain. besides the old counter, the
shank and the inner sole and the gen.
eral shape and framework of the shoe,
and upon these the repairs could be
made.
Secondhand shoes bring various
prices. depending on their origin n
quality and their condition. A pair Of
secondhand shoes, resoled and reheele
and with new uppers. can be bought
for as little as a dollar. New York Sun.

Most Curious Clock,

One of the most curious clocks in the
world is that which Amos Lane Of
Amidee, New. constructed some time
ago, The machinery. which is nothing
but a face. hands and lever, is connect
ed with a geyser. which shoots out an
immense column. of hot water every SO
seconds. This squirting eve varies to
the tenth of a second, and therefore q
clock properly attached to it cannot fail
10 keep correct time. Every time the
water spouts up it strikes the lever and
moves the hands forward 80 seconds.

Using the Left Hand.

The superiority of Japanese drawing
cal probably be traced to the custom Of
that land to make the children practice
painting and drawing without the use
of any stick or supporting device for the
hand. They are taught to draw at the
same time they are taught to write the
letters of the alphabet. and they are
taught to use both hands equally in the
task.
The natural preference given to the
right arm has been explained physiolog-
ically by the construction of the veins
and nerves that enter the arms, those of
the right arm being more prominent.
The reverse is the case in the few who
are naturally left handed.

A Joke on the Jan,

The Japanese students at our colleges
find the American sense of humor as it
is expressed by the other students about
them a somewhat peculiar thing, but
not at all hard to understand. In fact,
it is quite simple and elementary. A
japanese gentleman who was q student
at Harvard not long ago relates that he
was asked by some of his American fell
low students to ''teach them some Jap
anese words" He began by giving
them "Good morning. in Japanese.
This phrase is represented in Japanese
by a word which in English equivalents
cannot be more closely represented than
by the word "Ohio." The boys were
interested and promised to remember it.
Next morning, when the Japanese
student came to the lecture room, he
found a group of the boys gathered to
give him the morning salutatidn in
Japanese.

them.

DIR. Nachtigal, the celebrated African
explorer, was the guest of a rich Ham
burg merchant. The merchants son, a
young man of a somewhat sentimental
temperament, said among other things
that his dearest wish was to ride across

thought such ride must be very poet

explorer, II a tell you how you can
get a partial idea of what riding a
camel on the deserts of Africa is like.
Take an Office stool, screw it up as high
as possible and put it in a wagon with
out any springs. Then seat yourself on
the stool and have it driven we rocky
and uneven ground during the hottest
weather of July or August and after
you have not had anything to eat or

get a faint idea Of how delightfully."-
poetic it is to ride on a camel in the
