have the others printed by the goth.
Thereupon pointed to % on the cal

Muscular Powers of a beetle.

The following anecdote of three
horned beetle will give some idea of its
vast strength of body. A beetle was
brought in, and, there being no box at
hand in which to put it, 1t was clapped
under quart bottle of milk, which
happened to be upon the table, the hol-
low at the bottom of the bottle allowing
the insect to stand upright.
Presently the bottle began to move
slowly and glide along the smooth TIA
BILE, propelled by the muscular power Of
the imprisoned beetle, and continued
its travels for some time, to the aston
ishment of all who witnessed it. The
weight of the bottle and its contents
could not have been less than three
pounds and half, while that of the
beetle was about half an ounce So that
it readily moved a weight liz times
greater than its own.
A better notion than figures can con-
vey will be obtained of this feat by sup
posing a lad of 10 to be imprisoned
under a great bell weighing 10, 900
pounds and to move it to and fro upon
smooth pavement by pushing it from
within.-New York Sun

''Cut and rum originated in pc
culiar custom Of the Egyptian embalm-
ers. A low caste was employed to make
the first incision in the corpse, process
viewed with much dislike by the peo-
pie, who held him accursed who should
mutilate the dead. AS soon as the fell
low had made his 'cut'' he had to run
through storm of curses, stones and
sticks. He ''cut' for a living and had
to s'run" to save his life.
The true origin Of the expression ''to
dun man" is curious. In the reign Of
Henry VII bailiff of Lincoln named
Joe Dun was SO active and clever in
collecting debts that it became prov
erb when a person tired to avoid pay
ment, "Why don't you Dun him7'
'Hobson's choice" is derived from
one Hobson, who used to let out horses
for hire, and who obliged every person
who wanted one to- take that next the
stable door, being the one that had tax
en- the most rest. Chicago Tribune

THE MAGIC LAMP.

Meath moonlit sky in the days gone BY
As the ballads of old relate,
When lad was bold and his lady shy
He would wait at the postern gate.
For she feared as he strummed her a drowsy
lay
He would walEen the sire that slept;
30 she fastened her easement hid in spray,
And out to the postern crept.
Now, know not that postern gate of yore,
see not the easements light,
But I've watched with the crowd at the dingy
door
That leads to stage bsdight.
The hoofs of the managers horses stamp,
For they long for the great mans "Homei''
While the others must wait by the guttering
lamp
Like the poor at the gates of Rome.
The fairy who danced in the spangled dress
Must change, for the night winds cold,
Though fear me she loses her comeliness
In her oyercoat warmly rolled
IT. sometimes mother that waits this same
Great goddess who charmed the shrine,
And you hear with a shudder her Christian
name
Pronounced as "Matildar Jinef'
And it's sometimes youth with a big cigar
And hat at an evil rake.
It, youth who is feared by Matilda's tmar -
Hence she comes for Matilda's sake.
he is dressed in vast Newmarket "sack,"
Where the scanning is OVERLAND,
And the goddess familiarity calls him "Jack -
For she isn't bit afraid.
And it's sometimes a dear little gallery boy,
Who dreams in his dizzy heights
1t would be the hope Of his highest Joy
To speak to the girl In tights.
But the painted curtain falls alas,
And the dancers fade from view,
So he waits in the glare of the stage door gas
To watch till his girl comes through.

AS soon as a pioneer boy was big
enough to level rifle he was given
powder and ball to shoot squirrels.
After little practice he was required
to bring in as many squirrels as he had
received charges, under penalty of a
severe lecture or even of having his
jacket tanned. -
At the age of 10 the boy became a
fort soldier, with loophole assigned him
from which to fight when the settlers
rallied against an Indian foray. Grow
ing older, he became a hunter of deer,
elk, buffalo and bear, skilled in trailing
and in utilizing cover, capable of en-
during long marches through trackless
mountain forests. At night he was CON
tent to curl up in a single blanket be-
side small fire and sleep under the
roof of heaven. If it rained, in a few
minutes he built him a lodge of bark
or boughs, with no implement but his
one pound tomahawk.
Incessant war with the Indians
taught him to be his own general, to be
ever on the alert, to keep his head and
shoot straight under fire Pitted against
an enemy who gave no quarter, but
tortured the living and scalped the dead,
he became himself a stanch fighter who
never surrendered. The wilderness bred
men of iron and probably contained a
greater number of expert rifemen than
could now be mustered in all America.

African Rivers.


1t is distinguishing feature of moane
African rivers that they contain rant
water for at least eight months of thrry
year. 1t is true that water can almoplnl
always be found in river bed by di an'
ging for it, but in outward appearandn Z
river is usually broad belt of san5T L,
lying between high and PERCEPTIONS
banks. Many and many a coach has r
been upset in one of these drifts, as
they are called. The descent is always
steep, frequently so steep that the
brakes cannot hold the coaches.
They start going down at a crawl,
and then the coach gathers way and
goes on with a rush. the mules are
driven into a heap anyhow, and one
wonders that they do not get their legs
broken, but they usually land all right,
while the coach, practically unmanage-
able, goes down like a sort of toboggan,
jumping from stone to stone and sway
ing like a ship in sudden squall and
may or may not arrive right side up
permost at the bottom. In fact. the
passenger who has gathered his ideas of
coaching from trip to Brighton or a
drive to Virginia Water finds that he
has lot to learn about the subject
when he gets to South Africa. Still. ON
the whole, it was wonderful how few
accidents did occur, and If one consid-
ers that the coaches ran night and day
and that when there was no moon it
would sometimes be too dark to see the
mules from,>off the coach it TenecfS-
great credit on the drivers. Gentle

The Diet Of the Consumptive.

DR.. Cutter Of New York, one of the
editors of The Dietetic and Hygienic
Gazette, declares the most important
part of the treatment of tuberculosis
patients is the diet. 1t should, he says,
consist largely of animal foode. OF
these, eggs and milk should preponder-
ate. Eggs are best given raw when the
patient can take them thus The albu-
men of the egg is similar to blood albu-
men and is digested, or rather absorb
ed, into the blood without undergoing
an elaborate digestive process. The
white of the egg, mixed with water, is
often tolerated when the yolk cannot be
borne by the stomach. Bone marrow Of
the OK he regards as of greater value
than cod liver oil. Good butter may be
used freely and should be spread thick
ly on thin slices Of bread. Heavy meals
are to be avoided The patient should
take small quantities of food between
meals
