THE FoRTY-DAY PERIOD.
Persistent Use OF Number, Forty Since


s# Earliest Time.
A man who has done readers and
students notable service in co1lating
many of the curiosities of literature,
calls attention to the peculiar and peg
sistent use of the number forty ever
since the earliest time. The Deluge
lasted for forty days and forty nights;
Moses an Elijah tasted forty days; the
Israelites wandered in the desert for
forty years; the spies spent forty days
examining the land of Canaan, before
making their report; and Jonah, it
will be remembered, gave the in
habitants of Nineveh forty days in
which to consider his prophecy and
repent. The miraculous fast Of Moses
and Elijah is reproduced in that of
Christ, and the latter is now observed
by the church in the forty
days Of Lent. The mysterious
import of the forty-day period
has been recognized in the leg
is,ation Of France. and of England from
the earliest ages. Louis TX, of France
called Saint Louis, esta blisheu the

man could avenge an injury. We use
the word quarantine to signify, speci-
fcally, an enforced stoppage Of travel
to prevent the spread Of contagious
diseases, but its real meaning is
period Of forty days. William the Con-
queror. of England ordained that no
man should be allowed to remain in
England longer than forty days unless
he was enrolled in some tithing. The
Magma Charta provided that a widow
should be allowed to remain in her
husbands mansion for forty days af-
ter his death, during which time her
dowry was to be turned over to her.
These are only few limitations of
the use Of the forty-day period How
that use originated, no one knows.
Forty daysis notsa regular division of
time like a week or a month, but is
wholly arbitrary. The only plausible
explanation is that this period approx
inates a division of the early lunar
year by the mystic number g.

MUD AS a BEAUTIFIER,

Mud is the newest skin beautifier
the latest fad for the Improvement OF
the complexion. Just common, every
day, unromantic, dirty mud. The usss
and application of, this remedy is
one of the wrinkles which the summer
girl will bring back to town with her
from the place of her summer sojourn.
Not a new thing, by any means, this
daubing Of the face and throat with
dampened earth, but new to grea,
many people, and especially new in the.
city districts. In the country, far from
towns and drug stores, it's use has been
general and effective for many years
but just as soon as the city commences
to creep out and to encroach upon the
rurality OF a place, natures remedies
are given the go-by, and people fly
to drugs and s.store medicines" for the
aid which the world around them has
been wont to supply. s
And SO it is with mud. IN the early
days of the western states, when doc
tors and complexion beautif1ers were
alike unknown, mud was highly valued
by the women of the country. The.
feminine sex delights in fair skins and
white hands, even if there is no one in
all the township to see them, and the
early settlers borrowed the mud idea
from the Indians, who valued it for its
medicinal effect.
The mud treatment scosts nothing
and it is far more helpful than a
series Of Turkish baths. The principle
is precisely that of the facial masks.

ANIMAL MIMICRY.
Observers of nature are frequently
struck with the singular resemblances
of insects to leaves, dried sticks, and
SO forth, and these Ikenesses are sup
posed to have grown out Of the neces-
slty Of protection against, or conceal
ment from, enemies. An interesting
example of this kind Of resemblance
was recently brought to the attention
OF the chronological Society in Lon
don BY Doctor Chapman, who exhibited
a spider found inhabiting some rocks
near Cannes, on which were also fas-
tened the cases Of species of moth.
When at rest the spider exhibited al
most precisely the same form and color
as the moth cases surrounding it.

Strange to say, the lady fish is the
hardest fighter to be found Now, some
lady fish agree and are happy togeth-
er. When they disagree and fight
they go at it Just the same as women
They bite, gouge, and, so to speak,
tear each others hair out. The only
difference is that the hair on fish is
its scales. When a scale is once torn
off it never grows on again. Angel

troll of Bishop Willis, and he would
have charge Of funds and church prop
erty. And If you include myself in It,,
that's the end of yours truly" said Mr..
Macintosh.
The reply was greeted with general
laughter. He stated further that II no
change of heart had been experienced
among his people, no one would &c ne5r
the church at all. He said that he was
afraid of disintegration, and that 1t
would be hard work to keep up the
spiritual entity Of the church, and 1t
would go down and cease to be the
factor for good 1t now Is. Then there
would likely be another revolution FROM
the church as before. though he said
that the second congregation had not
seeded, but had always had separate
existence. Bishop Willis, he said, was
responsible for the names, First and
second congregation" and the English
speaking church was really the first
congregation.
Mr.. Davies thought that probably the
Bishop would be willing to extend the
time for a few months. as at first he
had said 1t could not under any cir
cumstances be extended beyond the

General Ian Hamilton, while quar-
tered in a Boer farmhouse won the
gratitude of it's hostile mistress in the
following characteristic way: All of
his intercourse with her was carried
on through an interpreter, and her
answers were given with so little
grace that talk was not frequent.
Only once her stern face lighted; this
was when he asked about her youngest
fighting son, a boy of IA. Her lips
quivered; emotion was not really
frozen within her.
Next day the general had occasion
to ride past the farm, and he called,
for a moment. upon her.
Tell her." said he to the interpreter.

"Tell her the Dutch will certainly
be beaten"
"Perhaps her sons will be taken
prisoners"
Still no reply.
"Now tell her to write down on a
piece of paper the name of the young
est, and give it to my aide-de-camp.
Then when he is captured she must
write to me, and we will not keep him
a prisoner. We will send him back
to her."
At last her face broke into emotion.
The chord had been struck.-Youth's

Dry.BIowing for Gold in Australia.

After the alluvial has been well
shaken up, SO as to bring to the sur
face the large Jumps, which the "pros-
blowing, in its. most primitive form,
consists of dropping the dirt" from a
height from one dish" to another,
the dust and finer particles being
blown away, in falling four or five
feet through the air, while the gold
and coarser gravel are caught in a
second pan" set on the ground at the
miners feet. He stands SO as to face
at right angles to the wind, placing
the lower pan" on piece Of coarse
canvas, so as to catch any fine gold
blown to one side over the edge of the
pan"
The next stage Is to toss the dirt up
and down in the pan, holding the pan
in a slanting position, away from the
operator, and jerking it back, so as to
throw the dirt from the front to the
back of the dish, thus winnowing it

the pan, with vanning movement. he
brings the Jumps to the top and skins
them off. When thus reduced to

GUS residue is still further shaken
down, like the contents Of dish. when
panning it in water, and with the pan
tilted forward, the miner raises 1t to
his mouth and completes the process
by blowing off the remaining light
sand. After this process of concen-
tration is finished the gold is seen
fringing the edge Of the iron-sand;
any nuggets or pieces coarse enough
to spec are picked out, and the "fine
gold" is either washed out with water
in the usual way or collected with the

'The servant man of one of my

the intention of drowning 1t. His
masters dog was with him, and when
the kitten was thrown into the water
the dog sprang in and brought 1t back
