Among the other strange things in
the island of Ceylon is the Ewes ap-
pie tree or the forbidden fruit" the
flowers Of which have a fine scent.
The color of the fruit, which hangs
from the branches in a peculiar and
striking manner, is beautiful, being
orange on the outside and a deep GRIM
o within says the Philadelphia Press
The fruit itself presents the appear
NICE of having had a piece bitten out
of it. This circumstance. together with
the fact of it's being a deadly poison,
led the Mohammedans on their first
discovery of Ceylon, which they as
signed as the site of Paradise, to rep
resent it as the forbidden fruit of the
Garden of Eden, for, although the fin
est and most tempting in appearance
of any, it has been impressed. such was
their idea, with the mark of Ewes hav-
ing bitten it, to warn mel from med
ding with a substance possessing such
noxious properties.

Walls have had ears since curiosity
began; now 1t seems they have eyes,
too, if we may generalize from the
story of a contemporary. a we'll
known photographer of New York re-
Gently had his country house over
hauled. A new skylight was added,
and alterations were made in the roof,
The men took their time and did not
overwork themselves, but this did not
prevent the roOfer from presenting a
bill almost as "steep" as his call
ing. When the owner of the house
e~xpostulated, 1t was explained to him
that the men had to be paid for their
time, and they had spent several days
on the job. "NO wonder" said the
photographer; and then he produced
a number Of snapshot photographs
representing the men on the root Of
his house as taken from the attic WIN
dow of an adjoining building. Some
were sitting smoking, some were read
ing newspapers, and other were lying
on their backs. why said the as
tonished roofer, these are my men!"
Exactly So" replied the p%hotogra-
pher, land they are earning my
money!"

NEVER ATE FOREIGN MEAT.
1t Doesn't Pay to Be Too Sure UntIl
One Knows All the Facts.

A certain Major Brownjones, who
made it his boast that he never al
lowed American or colonial meat to be
served at his table, recently visited an
old comrade in Liverpool. One night
at dinner a most delicious saddle of
apparently Welsh mutton appeared.
to which the major did ample Justice.
"Ah!" he observed, 81 wish that nv
butcher in London would SEND me stuff
like that; and yet he deals only in the
best British meat" Well" said his
friend, "as a matter of fact. you have
been eating New Zealand mutton: but
it's only fair to say that l get it from a
friend who is a large wholesale i'm
porter" by Jove, you don't say sol"
exclaimed the guest. 81 wish he'd tell
me where [ can get the like in town.
We'll go and see him tomorrow"
said the host. The visit was duly paid
to the meatmonger, who smiled when
he heard the Londoner's eulogy and
explanation. Tell me-" he returned
after listening to the e~picure's re-
marks, in what part of London you
reside, and | dare say l can give you
the address of a retail butcher who
VIII supply o with exactly the same
sort Of mutton as that which YOU like
so much" The major handed him his
card. All" observed the importer,
there's the very man within two
streets of your house. We supply him
with all his meat. Here's his address,"
he added, handing a slip of paper to
the seeker after succulent joints. The
major read, the major started, the ma
jor frowned-the major, truth to say,
cried vengeance; and no wonder, for
the address was that of his own butch
er, who dealt only in home produce

Our National SONGS,

In the December number of the Ma
tional Magazine is found this reference
to a song that is familiar to us all:
The story OF Yankee Doodle from
the time it was brought to this coun-
try, is definite and absorbingly inter-
esting. 1t has had a great mission.
With all the derision that has been
heaped upon it, it is none the less q
great tune. When one hears the oncS,
ridiculed and rollicsome strains of
Yankee Doodle let him cogitate the
fact that it has been the marching tune
OF all the victorious armies of Ameri-
can patriots, and has such a universal
sentiment and universal nationality
that it will measure the tread of COM
ing millions. 1t is one of the indie
structible institutions of America. 1t
has a character of it's o~Wn-comical,
rampant, 'rattle-brainish,' but with all
its oddities it has somehow entwined
itself so closely about the national
heart that n might as well try tc
rob the people Of the American bicy-
Gle, or Bunker Hill, as this Gathering,
right = about = face, defiant battle
march,"

From Pearson's Weekly: Perhaps
the most isolated tribe of people in the
world is the Tshuktshi, a people Occu-
plying the northern portion of the
peninsula of Kamskatka and the Il
try northward toward the Behring
straights. These people are practically
Independent of Russia, who appears to
have reasons of her own for letting
them alone. They have practically no
communication with the outside world,
and have only been visited two or three
times-the last time by Major de
Windt on his journey through Siberia.
The inhabitants of the New Siberian
Islands are also practically alone on
earth, for they can only communicate
with the mainland, and therefore with
the rest Oh the world, once a year, and
a succession of bad seasons might iso-
late them for years. The pygmies OF
the great Central African forests, II
they can be called a tribe, have also
been a people apart. For ages their
existence was little more than legend
airy, and only two expeditions COM
manded by white men have ever pene-
trated into their abode.

ing generally n story in height, of
masonry, and with no cellars or ven
tilatiOn under the floors, and with the
most primitive sanitary arrangements.
The streets and yards Of houses were
often in a most filthy condition, and
personal habits of cleanliness and de-
cency were on every hand observed to
be violated in a disgusting degree. On
the sidewalks of the side streets, in the
heart of the town, deposits of filthy
matter were frequently to be observed,
ana the house drains, located often
against the fronts of houses, commonly
discharged their contents in the street
cutters. An effort was made by the
city authorities to mitigate the evil by
disinfecting these places with chloride
OF lime, but various distinctive doors
on a hot, moist day were in strong
evidence all over the town.
The city had acquired such an I'M
sayory reputation with ship II on
account of yellow fever that one line
purchased an island outside of the har-
Dor, upon which they disembarked the
crews of their vessels when reaching
port, sending the vessel to the habor
by native crews picked up for the pur-
pose. There being no quarantine sta
ton, ships were sometimes refused ad-
mission to the harbor and were sent
back to the government station at Rio
de Janeiro, often imposing great hard
ships On the ship owners as well as on
the merchants who expected goods on
them or were waiting to ship coffee.
The recommendations of the report
were, briefly, to establish an efficient
quarantine station, with the necessary
houses for observation, hospitals, etc,
with proper regulations to govern the

No Fear When Death Draws Nigh.

Il have seen thousands of persons
die under all sorts of circumstances,
and never yet have / seen one display
the slightest fear of DEATH" This re-.
markable statement was made the
other day by a physician who has prac-
,ticed many years in Philadelphia, and
who has seen a great deal of hospital
service. at is a popular fallacy,' he
went on, ito imagine that a deathbed
scene is ever terrible, other than as a
parting between loved ones The fear
of the unknown is never present at the
last. Even amid ignorance and vice |
have never experienced such scenes as
a novelist, who strives after realism,
will sometimes picture. When a pa
tient is told he cannot recover and the
end is near, he invariably seems re-
signed to his fate, and his only thought
seems to be of those who are to be left
behind. This is true alike of men and
women. Those who become hystericai
and declare they are not tit to die are
the ones who are not as ill as they
think they are. They always get well.
A psychological reason? o, don't
know that there is any. It's just a
human trait"

TOMBS BUILT TO LAST.
Energy of the Egyptians Was Devoted
to Death.


to Death.
To the Egyptian death was but the
beginning of a career of adventures
and experiences compared with which
the most vivid emotions of this life
were tame. He lived with the fear of
death before his eyes. Everything
around him reminded him of that
dreadful initiation into the mysteries
of the tremendous after life for which
his present existence was but a prep
aration. His cemeteries were not hid
den away in remote suburbs; his dead
were not covered with mere grassy
mounds, Or 2 slab or stone. The whole
land was hfS graveyard; its whole art
was of the mortuary. Are there no
us into the wilderness to die?" asked
the Israelites in derision, and we may
believe that Moses WINGED at the sar-
casm. Egypt is the land Of graves, and
the whole energy Of the people that
could be spared from keeping life to-
gether was devoted to death. The
mightiest tombs in the wOrld-the
IdlS6u upon the utdlnS
of multitudes of toiling slaves. The
hills were ~honeycombed passages and
galleries, chambers, pits, all painfully
excavated in honor of the illustriOus
dead, and s%culptured and painted with
elaborate skill to make them fit habI-
tations for his ghost. Wherever he
looked the Egyptian beheld prepara-
lions for the great turning point Of
existence. The mason was squaring
blocks for the tomb chamber; the pot
ter nodded images of the gods or bowls
or Jars, to be placed In the grave for
the protection or refreshment of the
ka, exhausted with the ordeals of the
under world; the sculptor and painter
were at work upon the walls of the
funeral chamber. illustrating the
scene through which the ghost was
to pass, or depicting the industrious
life of the departed. The very temples
which cluster along the levels beside
the Nile wero in the hills behind. The
sacred lake, now the weedy, pictur-
esque hunt of waterfowl, was her the
scene of solemn ferryings of the dead.
The temple walls were covered with
the terrors of the judgment to come.
The houses of the living, indeed, were
built Of perishing mud. but the homes
of the dead made to the gods who ruled
their fate were made to last forever.
On these all the strength, the science
and the artistic skill of the ancient
Egyptians were cheerfuily lavished.-
