Testing Their Courage.

'One time In order to test the cour-
age OF Bengal tiger and lion," said
a well known Snowman, 1--WE placed a
shooting cracker In the respective
cages and fired the fuses. AS soon as
the fuses began to burn they attracted
the attention Of both animals, but In a
widely different manner. The lion
drew into corner and watched the
proceedings with a distrustful and I'M
easy eye. The tiger, on the contrary,
advanced to De burning fuse with a
firm step and unfinching gaze. On
reaching the cracker he took his paw
and began to roll 1t over the floor, and
when 1t exploded beneath his very nose
he did not finch, but continued his ex-
animation until perfectly satisfied. The
Hon betrayed great fear when he heard
the report Of the explosion and for
quite time could not be coaxed out OF
his den"

The guinea pig is an absurd little an
fmai for number OF reasons. and one
OF the most remarkable absurdities
about him Is his name. He is not a
pig OF any kind or any relation to the
pig, and he has nothing to do with
Guinea. He is kind OF rat. and his
native home is South America.
Why he should have been called a
pig" no one knows unless 1; was on
account of the slight gruntlng noise
that he makes, and the word guinea"
In his case may be corruption Of Gull
ana, where the animal has sometimes
been found. though 1t was first brought
from Brazil
His real name is the cavy, and by
that he should be called In his wild
state he is quite differently colored
from the domcsticated animal and
lacks the spottiDg OF white. black and
tawny color which the tanned cayy OF.

NEW YoRk,s ROPE WALKS
bne Place I'm the City where Ropes
Are Stf1l Made nv Hama

In n vacant lot at One Hundred and
Eleventh street and Amsterdam ave-
nue. may be seen rope walls.-that Is.
a place where ropes are nade nv hand.
Ii is the only one still In existence in
New York city. though they were plen-
tifui enough about twenty-five years
ago. before the machine made ropes
were SO much used.
1t Is an Interesting sight to watch the
rope walker, with his body covered
with hemp, spinning 1t into rope. This
ne does with the aid OF a large wheel
which boy turns constantly at the
kpinner's commands OF "ueavew
"Heave quickerr The spinner walks
backward, letting the hemp out grad
ually from around his body. At one
end he attaches the hemp to a hook re-
yolving at the turn OF the wheel.
When sufficient threads are spun In
this way, top or spool with the num-
Der of grooves necessary for all the
threads to fit In is attached to them.
The spinner grasps it firmly, and.
shouting to the boy at the wheel to
heaye fast. which means to turn the
wheel rapidly, he goes at almost run
to the opposite end OF the walk with
the top in his hand. In this way the
different threads are twisted into one.
The rope is now completed, ready to be
packed and shipped excepting In cases
where the hemp is unusually rough. in
which event paste made OF -four and
water is used TO smoothe 1t.
Ropes made In this way are much
stronger than those made by machine,
but cannot be sold so cheaply and,
moreover, have the disadvantage OF be-
Ing made In limited lengths only.
whereas the machine made ropes can
be made In almost unlimited lengths
the purchaser taking only as many feet
as required. Machine made ropes are
sold at from to 3 cents n yard. while
those made by hand IRE sold at nearly
double the amount, but they wear sey,
eral times as long.-New York Sun.

Treating pI.en.e by L,.ht.


The recent Development OF this art.
called phototherapy. is due to Profess
or Finsen OF Copenhagen. he discov-
cred that smallpox patients when kept
In red light escape with little, IL any,
soaring OF the hands and face. The
reason smallpox scars are found prin-
cipally on exposed parts OF the skin is
because the blue. or chemical, rays OF
light promote the 'suppuration OF the
eruptions. Finsen next found that the
chemical rays when concentrated by
lenses cutting out the red rays will
cure superficial diseases of the skin,
such as lupus. Powerful electric arc
lights can for this purpose be substi-
tuted for sunlight. The success OF this
treatment at the Light institute In Co
penhagen has led to it's introduction IN
the London hospital.

A Cure For Warts.

1 removed a formidable wart from
my daughters hand by the application
or simple lemon juice, which is an In.
faiiiDie cure. The wart requires satu.
rating with the juice once or twice a
day for three or four days or about a
week In some cases. The wart dimin-
ishes gradually and disappears alto
gether without pain and leaving no
mark and without mourning any of the
risks mentioned In connection with the
professional process. Another equally
efficacious and harmless method is to
saturate the wart with potato water
daily for about week or, better still.
with the froth obtained from the water
while the potatoes are being boiled.

Spelling Names wrona.

The reckless wrong spelling of names
is an illustration OF common ignorance
1t Is safe to say that In almost any
company of twenty acquaintances
there are not two who can write cor
rectiy the names OF all present. This
Is particularly true OF city life. where
one meets many persons daily. 1t is a
common thing for men to be long &C.
quainted and yet have but imperfect
knowledge OF one another's names.
