Head Toward the Engine.

Those who wish to avoid catching
cold when sleeping in sleeping car
should have their berths made up 80
that their heads will be toward the en-
gine. This is because the drafts in
moving train are always fron! front to
rear, and when your head is toward the
engine you are better protected, while
getting Just as much fresh air as
though you were in the other position.
In hot summer weather those who
sleep with head on can with perfect
safety have screen put under the sash
at the foot of the berth and thereby EN-
Joy a constant supply OF cool, un-
breathed aid.-InternationaI Magazine.

No, Always . FIesh-Eatine Animal.

Not Always a Flesh Eating Animal.
Primitive man originally subsisted on
a diet consisting purely Of fruits and
roots; but though fructivorous by In
stinct and by reason of the conforma-
ton of his digestive organs and dental
system, in whici. respect he is nearly
allied to the apes, which are all fruit
eating animals in their natural state,
he soon became omnivorous from neces-
sity, and his stomach readily adapted
itself to every kind Of food.
If the Darwinian theory be accepted
and the descent Of man from simian an
cestors be granted, we have further
argument in support Of the fact that
fesh-eating was the outcome OF civili'
zation and climatic necessity rather
than Of natural craving. Exposed al
the epoch Of the great extension OF the
glaciers, which one time covered all
our mountains, to the hardships of an
inclement climate, man required some
thing more nourishing and heat sup.
plying than the vegetable diet which
sufficed for him in higher tempera'
ture; and in the palaeOlithic age we
find him not only destroying animal
life, but provided with and utilizing the
means of cooking the victims OF his
rough-hewn knife and spear.

During a discussion at a meeting OF

upon the slight consideration attached

substitute to die for him. And the
debater went on, Il believe many poor

The Ohio Ticket.

With the exception of the immediate
personal and political friends of the
gentlemen who comprise the Republi-
can State ticket, few Ohioans will re-
gard it as having special strength be
fore the people. This would be true,
even If the nominate had been made
as the unanimous choice of the dele
gates but, since they were made in
the face of n bitter factional fight that
still refuses to subside, and upon a
platform unsatisfactory to thousands
of voters in the party. the weakness of
the ticket is most apparent and the sit
uaton develops fewer reassuring fea-
lures than have ever been noted in this
State following the adjournment of
Republican convention.-Columb

Miss Mary A. Livermore, the we'll

Cincinnati. She had missed her train,
and a cattle train was to leave in seven

showing instructions which forbade
him taking any freight but live stock.
"You will have to wait for the next

lady, and after a moments thought the
conductor weighed and billed her as
regular live stock freight, and gave her
the usual livestock receipt when she

The Missionary's Pump.

Lobengula, the late king of the Mata-
belle of South Africa, was friend of
the Rev. E. Carnegie, an English mis-
sionary, at Hope Fountain, several
miles from Bulawayo. The Matabele
warriors, on the other hand, looked
with suspicion on the missionary and
all his works; but they knew better
than to mOlest the friend of their king.
Time after time, in passing the mis-
sion house, they noticed a force-pump
at work, supplying water for the fam
lily and for irrigating the garden. Not
understanding what it was for, their
untutored minds concluded it was
some sort Of magic. 1t was "intagati,
or bewitched, and they watched to see
how it was managed that they might
turn the white mans magic against
himself.
One moonlight night a party OF pick
ed warriors repaired to the bank ol
the stream where the pump was. on
trying it, they were jubilant to find
that two men at either handle could &c
the trick. Turn and turn about they
kept the pump going for two hours, de
termined that the missionary should
have all the magic he wanted, and g
balance in hand.
Then, exhausted, they went home
ward, ignorant of the fact that they
had filled the missionary's tank tt
overfiowing. His good wife hoped tina
a similar supply Of "magic" might bt
furnished every week.-Youth's Com

The Deadly Trolley I'm Egypt

In the first four weeks after the open
ing of the electric railroad at Cairo,
Egypt, it is said that no less than
eighty persons were killed, and since
that time the weekly average has been
seven or eight. This very high rate of
casualties is supposed TO be due in part
to the imperfect sight Of many natives
in consequence of the prevalent eye
diseases, but fully as much to the fact
that they are unfamiliar with such
swiftly moving vehicles.
