Tnllow Candles as Medicine.


In France the peasantry still stick to
medicines calculated to turn the aver
age Doctors hair gray with horror.
Wine is an ingredient Of every pre-
scription. In fever cases it is always
the predominant one. The French
peasants faith in fermented grape
Juice is truly beautiful.
If his children are stricken with the
measles, he gives them wine well
sweetened with honey and highly spic-
ed with pepper. For severe cold he
administers a quart Of red wine and
melted tallow candle mixed. For scar
let or brain fever he gives eggs, white
wine and SCOT well beaten together.
Not all their superstitions are curl
GUS Some are pathetic. A mother, for
instance, often buries her dead child
with its favorite toy or lock of her
own hair in the coffin. that it may not
feel quite alone"

A Persian Romance.

A Persian plaque in the South Ken
sington museum, London, bears by
means of clever relief and brilliant col
or a romantic tale, part legend and
part history. Nobody knows the pro-
portion of each.
At all events. it is declared to be an
incident in the life of Baharam Y of
the Sassanian dynasty. EHAaraln, ac-
cording to legend and plaque. was n
wonderful archer. During one of his
hunting expeditions, on which his ia
vorite wife had accompanied him, lie
shot sleeping antelope with such pre-
cSion as to Craze the animals ear.
The antelope awoke and. believing
himself annoyed by fly. put his hind
hoof to his ear to strike off the fly. a
second arrow sent by the royal hand
fixed the antelope's hoof to his horn.
The kings wife merely said. "Prac-
tice makes perfect" which touched the
pride Of her royal spouse.
Indeed. as the penalty for her plain
speaking. she was sent out into the
mountains to perish. but instead found
shelter in a village. Here she lodged
in an upper room assembled by 20 steps
and, having bought a calf. carried II
up and down every day. The king.
passing by four years later, was amaz-
ed at seeing a young woman carrying
COW up flight Of 20 steps. The lady
again took occasion to remark. "Prac-
tce makes perfect" whereupon she
unveiled. was recognized and restored
to favor.

Although the cassowary in cantiv,..
has the reputation Of being extremelv
tractable and doclle. he is terrible who,
aroused.
A notable popularity Of this is tina,
II any particular object attracts his
attention he will perform sort of war
dance over It. This happened at tho
zoo when one of the cassowarics, which
are confined in cages near the main
entrance, lighted upon piece of gau,lv
ribbon blown inside the bars from tls
hat or dress of some woman visitor
says the London Express.
He was one Of the smallest of the col.
lection, But he was Of martial disposj.
ton. After having carefully examined
the ribbon he started his war dance and
kept 1t up with great vigor for some
minutes. Just while he was at tbo
height of his enjoyment a larger casso.
wary came up and interfered with
him.
He stood this for some time, but when
the larger bird attempted to GUST him
from the spot in order that he In turn
might prance about the ribbon he re.
scented the Intrusion in no uncertain
style.
Kicking out vigorously on all sides
craning his neck, swapping his beak
elongating his body and hitting imap.
mary blows with the horny mass which
cassowaries carry on the top of their
heads and which Is called helmet. he
seemed to bid defiance to all corners.
The larger cass0wary. thinking an.
parently TINT he could treat the demon.
STATIONS Of the light weight with con.
tempt. commenced hustling the latter
The two were Unmatched as regards
height, one Of them being above five
feet high and the other a foot or moro
shorter. but the battle which ensuea
showed that weight and height will not
always tell.
Forward kicks were the main feature
Of the fight. The cassowary, it is he.
lieved, is the only bird. except perhaps
the ostrich. which uses this method Of
attack and defense, and the way a cas-
sowary can kick would warm the heart
Of a French boxer. He can klcs
straight out like man. or he can do
the high kick like music hall star.
At first the blows were delivered
chiefly on the breast and didn't hurt
much. but eventually the small bird
knocked the other one out with mas.
terly stroke delivered by the long sharp
claw Of the inner toe on the wattles Of
his antagonist.
No fatal injury was done. but the
shock must have been terrific, for the
big bird uttered peculiar cry and re-
tired in confusion to Its corner, while
the victorious one resumed its wur
dance. 1t also had been severely pun
ished.

United States army at bis own request.
and In circumstances that would have
caused his dismissal had the request
not been made, is not the first individ-
ual to throw away brilliant career un-
der similar proyOcatiOn. History teens
with such cases, but none Of them is
the less regrettable on that account.
The regret, In the case of ex-Captain
Strong, is intensified by the fact that
prior to his act Of social and profess
sional suicide he had given evidence of
a very sturdy quality of manhood.
While still new to arms, he fought
bravely in the Philippines, and bears
even now upon his body the marks of
at least two wounds received In war.
A regret even more poignant springs
from his act in selling his late fathers
home In order to procure the means for
the trip to Japan with the brilliant
companion for whose sake he abandon
ed his career in the army and forfeited
the esteem Of his fellow officers. Esau's
dearly bought meal provides a histori-
cal comparison. This young ex-soldier,
man of the world though he doubtless
is, has yet to learn, apparently, two
great truths pertaining to the struct-
ural mechanism of our modern social
fabric-one, that follies readily pardon
ed in youth are inexorably condemned
in manhood; the other, that while soci-
ETY. may graciously wink at the weak
ness Of sinner with tact enough to
feel ashamed of his weakness and con-
ceal 1t, 1t Is merciless to the braggart
who offers 1t to the affront of a public
proclamation of his wrongdoing.

That the joyous picnic season does

hampers last year, and as l was a
member Of the physiology class at the
time, 1t startled me out Of a sessions

one roast chicken, one pie; one bottle Of

To supply food and fuel for the hu.

Of an export tax of one shilling q ton
ON English coal has called public atten.

Treasury Bureau Of Statistics concern
Ing the rapid invasion of the markets
Of the world by American coal. In
1885 the exports Of coal from the Uni
ted States amounted to only 1922, 900
tons, while In 1900 the total exports
mounted up to 7,1S0.OOO tons. The fig.
ures of the treasury bureau indicate
that the coal exports for this fiscal
year. ending June 80, will be not less
than 100000 tons. The fuel problem
In Europe Is becoming the most serious
economic question that engages the at
tention Of the manufacturers and pro-
ducers as well as the concern Of the
various governments. The United
Kingdom has been the greatest ex-
porter Of coal for a century and more.
British ships still carry the bulk Of the

ports last year aggregating 46,1OS.O11

HUMAN FINGER PRINTS

There Are Possible Dfawbacks to Their
Value In IdenttAcation.
The constancy Of human finger prints
has chiefly been discussed in connec-
ton with the Identification Of criminals.
Assuming that the evidence of finger
prints IL to be admissible in criminal
proceedings, 1t will be not only neces-
sary to prove that In the case of the
same man the finger prints remain un-
altered. but that no two persons have
Identical finger prints. Where ID the
evidence of this?
There are PROBABLY 1900. OOO. 600 men
and women on the earth. Can we sup
pose that no two of these have Identical
finger prints? Nor indeed IL this all.
We may be comparing the finger prints
Of living man with those of one who
has been dead for years past, and the
doctrine of heredity might lead us to
expect to find similar finger prints In
the case of parents and children and Of
different children Of the same parents.
1t is, at all events, certain that II this
finger print system were once intro
duced into our courts of justice there
would be any amount Of wrangling as
to whether they were identical or only
similar-experts contradicting each
other and involving the whole subject
in confusion.
Moreover. professional criminals
would probably soon find some mode Of
altering their finger prints. No doubt
II the person who committed q crime

print Of his fingers on anything 1t may
prove m important clew. but the same
thing may be said OF the impr1nt Of his
boots or shoes. But clew u one thing
and proof b another thing.
