Four ard It's Multiple Of Ten.

The number four was anciently es.
teemed the most perfect of all, being
the arithmetical mean between one and
seven. oman, the second caliph, said
-Four things come not back-the spo-
ken word, the sped arrow, the past life,
the neglected opportunity" In nature
there are four seasons, and the four
points of the compass.
Forty, a multiple of four by ten, is
one of the sacred numbers. The pro-
baton of our first parents in the garden
of Eden is supposed to have been 40
years. The rain fell at the deluge 40
days and nights, and the water re-
manned on the earth 40 days. The
days of embalming the dead were 40.
Solomon's temple was 40 cubits long.
In it We're ten LAYERS, each four cubits
long and containing 40 baths
Moses was 40 years old when he fled
into the land of INDIAN, where he
dwelt 40 years. He was on Mount
Sinai 40 days and 40 nights. The Is
raelites wandered in the wilderness 40
years. The Saviour tasted 40 days and
nights before entering upon public life.
The same time elapsed between the
resurrection and the ascension.

Absolute Zero.

By absolute zero" is meant the low
est temperature compatible with heat
that point of temperature, in fact, at
which body would be wholly depriv-
ed of heat and at which the particles
whose motion constitutes heat would
be at rest. This temperature is sup
posed to be about 274 degrees C. or 461
degrees f.
The term cheat is here used in it's
scientific sense, for as men use the
word in everyday language it's signifi-
canoe depends OH the temperature of
the human body. Men call warm"
everything with q temperature higher
than their own and "cold" all those
objects which have less heat than they.
In reality, however, the coolest body
known to man is far from being utter
ly without heat. Ice, for example, has
heat, only in degree so much below
mans temperature that one can scarce
ly imagine it to be anything but cold"
q term which actually implies COM
paratively low degree of heat.
Accordingly the zero of thermometers
is only q conventional point marking q
certain degree OF heat. There seems to
be point however. where heat ceases
absolutely, and this point it is which is
known in chemistry as tie absolute

The Noise Habit.

The New Yorker contracts in time
what may be called the noise habit.
Noise with him becomes dissipation.
His nervous system demands it. This
is illustrated by the sensations he ex-
periences when he goes into the woods
or mountains after a continuous stay
In the city for many months. His first
feeling is one of loneliness; something
seems to have suddenly gone out of his
life. Every tree seems to say, "Why
have you been so hot and noisy, my lit
tie sir!" His sensations are somewhat
akin to these of a drunkard who has
been under alcoholic stimulation for q
long time and suddenly has his drink
taken from him. His whole nervous
system feels the lack of the irritation
and stimulation of the city noise. to
which it has become accustomed. The
stiffness actually appals and depresses
him.
The streets Of New York are deep,
narrow channels, and they are growing
constantly deeper as the buildings in
crease in height. These large reflect
Ing surfaces on three sides of him
make the condition of the man in the
street like that of the workman who

HANDLING BIG sERPENTs.
Poisonous Snakes In Demand by
Doctors For Experimenting.

OSSoAOuS snakes In demand by
Doctors For Experimenting.
In handling a big snake you must
always touch him with soft, smooth,
gliding motion of the hand, making it
feel to him as much as possible like
the touch of another snake, and, be-
sides, you must be careful to keep his
tail out straight. Keep the tail straight,
and he can't coil on you. His bite is
nothing, for he has not poison, but his
coil around your leg or arm or body
will crush the bones.
"Ihe poisonous snakes-the water,
moccasins, rattlesnakes and copper
headS-are bought for ZOOS. Now and
then a doctor buys them heavily for
awhile. He wants to experiment with
their poison. After he has been bitten
two or three times he stops buying.
There are number of people who
buy snakes for pets. These people al
ways, without an exception, make pets
also OF rats, mice and turtles. Any one
fond of snakes is sure to be fond of
those other things too. They keep their
snakes and turtles and rats as near as
possible to them. Often they keep
them in their bedrooms. There was a
young man who used to come here last
year after pine snakes-a university
student. That young man would sit
with his hand in among the coils of
cageful of snakes for hours He would
take ones head in his hands and lift
Its face close up to his own and gaze
for a long time in its eyes, Then he
would hold it off and stroke it and
study its changing colors in kind of
trance. l don't know what pleasure or
satisfaction he got out of the snakes.
He bought over dozen from me dur
ing the year and kept them in his bed
room in boarding house. They all
escaped one night. through a rathole

LOVE AMONG sAvAGEs.
Ability to Stand Torture n Test of
Masculine Devotion.

Among the Arabs of upper Egypt the
youth who proposes to a girl must sub
NIT to a whipping at the hands of all
her male relatives, and, says a dry
narrator, ''f he wishes to be consider
ed worth having he must receive the
chatisement, which is sometimes ex-
ceedingly severe, with All expression
of enjoyment"
Not infrequently it is the maiden her.
self who imposes the test. The Saka-
lava girls of Madagascar make their
lovers stand at short distance from a
clever spear thrower and catch be-
tween the arm and side every weapon
flung at them. If the youth displays
fear or fails to catch the spear, he is
ANONYMOUSLY rejected, but if there be
no f1inching and the spears are caught
he is at once proclaimed an accepted
lover"
Worse than this is the trial enforced
upon their suitors by the Dongolowee
girls. When in doubt as to the respec-
tive merits of two rivals, the young la
dy fastens sharply pointed knife to
each elbow; then, seating herself be-
,, tween her lovers, she drives the blades
slowly into their thighs. and the hero
who takes the greatest length of steel
without murmur wins the bride.
Major Mitchell in his Expeditions
Into the Interior of Eastern Australia"
says Of the natives on the river Darling
that all their ideas of fighting are as
ISOLATED with the possession of gins or
wives and that after battle the wives
do not always follow their fugitive
husbands from the field, but frequently
go over. as matter of course, to the
victors." None but the brave deserve
the fair" is a maxim we'll understood
of most barbaric races. - Chambers
