Always Face the Engine.

From the Pittsburg Bulletin: In his prime the late MT. John Cook, the great tourist agent, was man of iron frame. But when years of railway travelling, which averaged annually some 10000 miles. produced certain alarming symptoms, he made a dis covery that may be worth giving to the public. He found that the threat ened trouble, something spinal disap- peared when he no longer sat with his back to the engine. He always there after faced it, and that the principle is sound will be borne out by others whom he advised to do the same All who are called upon to do much rail- way travelling will be wise to sit fac ing the horses.

Drawbacks of Life In Kimberley.

Only those who are willing to un- dergo great hardships in pursuit of wealth should think of going to Kim berley, where Cecil Rhodes is now shut up with the little English force. The town is surrounded by level. treeless country, nothing higher than an ant hill appearing above the horizon in any direction. For eight months out of the year there Is often no rain at all. and the thermometer often stands for days at 100 degrees in the shade To add to the discomforts of the resi- dents, fierce, choking storms of dust frequently sweep over the town,

How Quickly We Can Think.

Prof. Richet, in his lecture on Nerve Vibrations" said that the rate of transmission of nerve impulses could not be more than ten or twelve times a second. Prof Richet states that if one tried to think set of words in succession he could never pass that speed, and could not receive a more rapid succession of sensations on the same organ. This period, then, might be called the psychological unit Of time" If the rapidity were greater, sound, electricity, and light would be perceived as independent undulations, not continuous sensations: were it slower, one would see the motion Of the hour hand of watch and the growth of a tree.

WISE WoODPEcKERS.
How They Drive Worms from the In.ld.


 of Tree.
 A Chicago professor who has been in the Maine woods this summer tells an interesting story of the intelligence of family of woodpeekers which he encountered near the headwaters of the Allegash, and which were most uncommonly bright birds. As every one knows who has observed these birds at all, they feed on the worms which burrow into trees. Any worm with fair amount of activity can bore gallery three or four feet long in tree in single season, so to find his prey the woodpecker has to make seY- eral holes in the tree in order to get at his victim. This particular family of woodpeckers. having some difficulty in getting at the worms after they had drilled a hole into his gallery proposed to save themselves unneces- sary work. And what do you think they did? In the Allegash woods grows the Indian poke" a plant with berries possessing an alkaline juice particularly disagreeable to all animal life. And so these Allegash wood peckers, having made an entrance into the dome of the borer, proceed next to drop berries of the Indian poke into the opening. And so much does the worm dislike the edor of the poke berries that he comes out to get away from it, and incidentally to see who has had the impertinence to cause him 80 much discomfort He never gets any further than the en- trance, because MT. Woodpeeker is waiting there, and that worm is goh- bled up so quickly that he never knows what happened to him. This seems like a good deal of fairy story, doesn't 1t? But Prof Eastman J. Clarke says hs saw it with his own eyes.

PEOPLE ARE TAUGHT TO SAVE
Remarkable Growth of Great Brltain's
 Postoffice Savings Bank.


 !. Iae history oa the postottae sayippgs bank of Great Britain is Specially ree- markab1e. There is nothing compara- ble with it in the worIf as a savings institution. It was founded only thir- ty-eight years ago, and it now has 100000 depositors and holds in trust over $500, 100000. The business of the central administrative department in London has grown to such enormous proportions that an area Of five acres has recently been purchased at West kensington, in the outskirts of Lon don, whereon new buildings will be erected for its accommodation. The cornerstone of the main structure was laid in June by the prince of Wales. Every postoffice in the United King dom is branch of this bank, and there are 1900 branches. The instftu- tion has been popular with the masses from the beginning, and it's benefits in the encouragement of thrift and provi- denee have been beyond estimation One In every five persons in England and Wales is said to have an account in these banks, and one In every four teen in Scotland and Ireland. The in- stitution catches the small savings the average sum on deposit by the TO- 100000 depositors being only about $80 Every device is employed to encour- age making of deposits and to render the banking process simple and con- venient. The elementary schools Of the country cooperate with the banks and the children form large percent age of the depositors. Penny-stamp slips are provided whereby children are enabled to begin an account with a minimum deposit of 1 shilling. An in- terest rate of 212 per cent is paid.
