TIa oiIiS of LIme7iek.

II asked, where are the prettiest
girls in the world?" I will Immediately
reply, I'm Limerick, Ireland" There
are freshness Of face lustrousness Of
eyes, healthfulness Of color and COM
plexion about the Limerick girls en-
masse that carry of the sweepstakes
trophy. The girls Of Cork and Of the
lakes-in fact, Of the country all the
way down from Dublin-are somewhat
Of the Limerick order. In form they
constitute a happy medium between
the rotund English maids across one
ehannel and the sylphlike Partisan
demoiselles beyond the other.
But the Limerick face is the perfec-
ton of female beauty, a human ceram-
ic without a blemish. The Limerick
girl Is also the highest example Of ex'
quisite wit and righteousness, an ex-
traordinary assimilation, to be sure.
In other words, while she is not insen-
sible of her sparkle Of words, she
seems like one who has never looked
frequently into a mirror. She has
regular and sometimes very pretty
teeth, and, II her nose is often inclined
to retrousse and there is an Irish ex-
preston Of mouth" these but add
piquancy to her other beautiful fea-
tures.-Argonaut.

The Lost Forty.

There is a tract of land in Tazewelf
county, ILL.,, lying along the Mackinaw
river, which consists of a continuous
series of abrupt and deep ravines. Not
a foot Of the tract could be cultivated.
The ridges are full of fox dens, wolves
are occasionally found, and turkey buzz
yards hover over it in large focks.
Even people familiar with the territory
have been lost in the dense forest. Ex-
cept for few giant oaks the wood
has no commercial value.
The tract Is known as the Lost
Forty" because no one knows who
owns It. For years It has been used
for trading purposes, and many I'M
wary persons from q distance have ad-
vanced money upon It and taken mort
cages in various sums, only to receive
O questionable title to worthless
piece Of land. On the Tazewell county
textbooks the Forty" appears with
owner unknown" The land is water
ed by innumerable springs and the
Mackinaw river, which winds its way
through.

Aeeamr the HAit0R.

An interesting story is related by
Colonel Dennison in the volume "Sol.
diering In Canada" concerning the late
Sir Henry Havclock- Allan, who was a
famous fighter. The colonel says: my
wife and l were in Hyde park one day
when Sir Henry came over and asked
hoy she liked his horse. She said very
much, and ! gave my opinion that 1t
was about the finest horse l had seen
on the row that day. He then told US
an anecdote about the horse. He said
he had ridden into Darlington, which
was close to his country seat, and he
sent boy up to the editor Of the news
paper asking him to come down to the
street to speak to him for few min
utes, as he could not leave his horse.
The editor was too busy to come down,
and Sir Henry went to him. He rode
up two fights Of stairs into the editors
room, spoke to him from the horses
back, rode round his table and back
again and then made his way out into
the street. He said the horse tumbled
things about good bit, and the editor
danced out Of bis way. But added
Sir Henry, now the editor comes down

Climbing Animals,

Dogs often have to be trained to
climb stairs, instinctively distressing
the upper stories. 1t has been conjec-
tured that this Is because the dogs
forelegs break easily below the shout
der, and the beast seems to realize this
The fox has no such fear and has been
known to climb a tree with plenty Of
small limbs to the height of seventeen
feet. Swimming comes easier than
climbing to most animals as well as to
many races of men. Rats and guinea
pigs can swim well and do not climb at
all.
Bears can climb we'll If little, but the
grizzly and other large species stay
mainly ON the ground. A bear always
climbs down tree backward, as does
the domestic cat until she has nearly
reached the ground, when SHE turns
and jumps, but most wild cats run
down a trunk head first, even the heavy
leopard being a more skillful climber
than the light house cat. The tiger
and lion, however, do not climb, for no
discoverable reason unless 1t be that
they fear falling on account OF their
weight.

Notifications Of Iron.

Add carbon to pure iron. and 1t be-
comes steel. Add hydrocarbon to
iron, and steel itself becomes SO ex-
tensively modified that its properties
are not recognizable. Thus steel may
be soft as pure iron. Add hydrogen in
varying quantity, and it has the quail
ty of residence, as in the watch spring,
or the quality Of tenacity, as in the
knife or razor, or may be given nearly
all the hardness of diamond. as in a
file. With steel at low temperature,
from 400 to 45O degrees r., edge tools
are produced and color In the yellow
shades; from 500 to 525 degrees various
sorts Of springs are produced, color
blue, while by heating iron to white
ness and plunging it into water, which
Is mainly composed OF hydrogen, files
are produced or forms even harder.
