1.-THE eel that inhabits stream with

food scarce, and he must exercise and

him healthy and wholesome. But the
eel that lives in the mud, where pro-
visions are plentiful, is unfit for the ta-

An English paper gives list of
what 1t terms "the IA mistakes of
life." While there are undoubtedly 9TH
er mistakes than those mentioned, the
list is fairly comprehensive one.
1t is great mistake to set up our
own standard Of right and wrong and
Judge people accordingly; to measure
the enjoyment Of others by our own;
to expect uniformity of opinion in this
world; to look for judgment and ex-
perience in youth; to endeavor to mold
all dispositions alike; to look for per-
lection In our own actions; to worry
ourselves and others with what can
not be remedied; not to yield in imma-
terial matters; not to alleviate all that
needs alienation as far as lies In our
power; not to make allowances for the
infrmities of others; to consider every
thing impossible that we cannot per-
form; to believe only what our finite
minds can grasp; to expect to be able
to understand everything.
And the last and greatest mistake of
all is to live for time alone, when any
moment may launch us into eternity.

The Last Opportunity.

The late Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll,
the famous skeptic, told many stories
Of experiences which grew out of the
common knowledge of his skepticism.
One of these related to a visit which
he once made to Rev. Phillips Brooks
before DR.. Brooks became bishop.
Calling on DR.. Brooks, he was re-
fused admission because, as the serv-
ant said. it was sermon day." and
some of DR.. Brooks own home people
had already been denied admission.
But DR.. Brooks learned that Ingeesoll
was at the door and sent out word that
he should come in.
After the interview, and as Colonel
Ingersoll was about to leave, he said:
"Dr. Brooks, your man told me that
you had denied yourself to some of
your home people this morning. Now
how is it that you have admitted me,
q strangerY'
"Oh. that's quite easy" said DR..
Brooks. laughing. "They are my
church members. and I shall see them
again, here or in heaven. but isn't 1t
right for me to consider your belief
and that I shall probably never meet
you again!-Youth's Companion.

More Miles Than You Can Count.

More Miles Than You Can Count.
Statements as to the distance Of the
pole star from the earth which have
appeared in some Of the newspapers
lately have been ridiculously made
quate. One of the estimates made is
255,00O0 miles. Now, If one will re-
member that the sun is 100000 miles
away and that it's light comes to us in
eight minutes. he will see that If the
foregoing estimate of the distance OF
the pole star were right it's beams
could reach us in about Is days. II
would be only about 2.7O0 times as far
off as the sun.
Light travels 100000. 100000 miles
in year. and even the most modest
guesses as to the parallax Of Polaris
make it 35 light years. Pritchard's es-
innate in 1887 was 80 light years. but
he has since modified his figures.
Hence. If one will write 21O and add II
ciphers thereto he will have the num-
Der of miles which the most conserv.
alive authorities believe intervene be-
tween the earth and the pole star

A Japanese Secret.

other mysteries, the secret has been

the cutting Of the roots when they first
begin to sprout.
Suppose miniature oak tree is de-
sired. The Japanese gardener takes
an acorn and an orange. He carefully
scoops out the interior Of the orange
and fills the skin with rich mold. Ex-
actly in the center he places the acorn.
leaving a round hole in a line with the
sprouting point. He puts his orange
in a sunny place and waters it every
day.
Soon after the first shoot appears,
and in a very short time afterward the
roots break through the orange skin.
These are shaved off continually. The
tree grows to about five inches high
and then stops. In year it is per-
feet miniature oak. When the roots
cease to grow, the ends are vanished
over and the orange imbedded in pot
or vase. The tree becomes more gnarl-
ed and stunted every year and is train
ed to whatever shape is desired.-New

authorities upon diet, says that the
average man in state Of absolute rest
can live on 16 ounces Of food a day, a
man doing ordinary light work can live
on % ounces and a man doing labori-
GUS work needs from 20 to 80 ounces.
This is food absolutely free from wa

Cou1dn,t Change the signs.

England is said to be the freest coun-
try in the world, but its freedom does
not extend to the alteration Of a public
house sign by licensed yictualer.
This was proved at the South Hants
Brewster court, where a brewer asked
leave to alter the name of an inn from
The Duke Of York to The Panther.
Admiral Field, M. p. who acted as
chairman, asked the reason Of the pro-
posed transformation. and was inform
ed that the applicant owned another
Duke of York, some distance off. fact
which was liable to cause confusion in
business. The admiral, however, con-
sidered 1t discourteous to the brave
old Duke of York to put panther In
his place. Eventually the application
was refused.
A similar fate attended the request
to change the name Of house from
The Royal Oak to The Radstock, Ad-
miral Field urging that Lord Rad
stock, as an eminent philanthropist
and Christian man, might justifably
object to his name being thus taken in
vain. and the justices, perhaps out Of
regard for French susceptibilities. also
rejected an application to change the
sign Of The Alma tavern to that Of
The Fashoda.-London Telegraph.

Trouble In Teaching MONKEYS.

"As rule, monkeys are readily train.
ed, but occasionally there is one, as in
the human species, who is Ounce and
won't learn anything, is positively
stupid and refuses persistently to be-
come educated. The trouble in teach
ing monkeys is largely that they are
mischievous. They try to overdo
things and do things which are not
wanted of them, so that in order to
make them perform as desired steady
drilling is necessary. although they
grasp an idea quickly. The only two
species Of animals which can be taught
by precept and exaEple are the CHM

are imitators. and to instruct them in
doing thing it Is only necessary for
the trainer to do 1t first himself, and

SEASICK ON SEA LEGS.

Officers and Sailors of the Navy FIRE.
quently Distressed.
"The officers and sailors Of the, navy
are frequent sufferers from seasick-
ness, even after they have got their
sea legs on" observed a naval surgeon
to reporter. Indeed think I can
safely say that, young and old, one
third Of the entire navy officers as well
as men are seasick during storms as
well as at other times. In theory naval
officers and sailors are entirely free
from such SO called weakness, but, in
fact, they have stomachs and are suf-
ferers at times the same as the rest
Of humanity.
'"The sailor in this respect has many
advantages over the naval officers and
is less sensitive to seasickness for the
reason that he seldom has what is
called shore duty to perform. and he
is on the ship all the time, barring
the days of now, and then Of liberty.
When an officer, 1t is entirely different,
for he seldom has to spend as much
time on the ship as he does on shore.
The three years sea duty are generally
followed by three years shore duty,
during which time his sea legs and
stomach entirely disappear and have
to be built up again.
"It is rare that an officer on return
to sea duty does not have to go
through all the painful and distressing
experiences Of his first seasickness,
and l am not sure but each recurrence
of this experience is worse than the
original ! have known a dozen off,

He had removed from her pair or

inches long, which had been acciden-
tally sewed up in her body four years
before. t..r'.s.
Said New York physician: "a short
time ago an up country doctor came to
the city to be operated upon for the re-
moyal of the vermiform appendix, al
though l understand he never had ap-
pendicitis. He did not improve after
the operation, and one night he died.
There was an autopsy, and it was
found that sponge had been sewed
up in him. Yet have known of many
forceps, clamps and other metal instru-
Ments to be forgotten and left in pa
tients, and the latter get we'll.
'Sponges are bad. From their very
nature they become collecting agents
and soon poison the body. The smooth
metal objects, on the other hand, are
apt to work their way into the ali
mentary tract, and then they soon pass
away. You doubtless have heard Of
