Merely Symptoms.

life is failure" said the tired
looking passenger in grave and far
away voice. "Man is a fraud, woman
a bore, happiness a delusion, friendship
a humbug; love is disease beauty a
deception, marriage a mistake, wife
a trial, a child a nuisance; good is
merely hypocrisy; evil is detection.
The whole system of existence-life,
morality, society, humanity and all
that's q hollow sham. Our boosted
wisdom is egotism; generosity is i'm
becility. There is nothing Of any inn
portance but money. Money is every
thing, and, after all, what is every
thing? Nothing. Ar-r-r-r-r!'

How the Earth Changes.

How does one generation of men
succeed another? The fathers are not
swept away in a body to make room
for the children, but one by one the
old drop off and the young come ON
until a day is reached when none of
those remain that once were here How
does some form of human speech be-
come extinct? About 100 years ago an
old lady named Dolly Dentreath died
in Cornwall. She could speak the
Cornish language. After her death
til re was nobody that could. Thus
quietly did the living Cornish language
become dead language. And in like
unobtrusive manner have been wrought
most of the new becomings which
have changed and are changing the
earth.-John Fiske in Harper's.

Musical SnafTs.

A French naturalist claims that there
are few if any animals which have a
higher appreciation Of music than
snails. Place some snails on pane of
glass, he says, and you will find that
as they move over it they will make
musical sounds similar to those which
person can produce by wetting his
finger and then rubbing it around a
glass fumbler. Complete airs, he points
out, have been played on tumblers in
this way, and he expresses the opinion
that quite as good results can be OBJ
tanned by using snails instead of fin
gers.

Sucking Poisonous wounds.

Among all people the sucking of the
wound has ever been considered the
most effective remedy Of immediate
application for snake bites. In Africa
a cupping instrument is employed in
emergencies of the kind to draw out
the poisoned blood The ancients fol
lowed the same methods, and when
Cato made his famous expedition
through the serpent infested African
deserts he employed many savage
snake charmers, called ''psylli," to fol-
low the army. They performed many
mysterious rites over men who were
bitten, but the efficacy of their treat
ment appears to have consisted in suck
ing the wounds

shakespeare and MoIiere.

A correspondent finds these notable
points of resemblance in the careers of
Shakespeare and Moliere:
The father of each was in trade and
apparently destined his son to follow
his occupation. The early education
of both was neglected, and we know
nothing in their after training that
conferred on them their perfect knowl
edge of good breeding and distinguish
ed manners. Neither Of them was hap
PLY married. Each became manager,
author, actor. Each produced a con-
siderable number of authenticated dra-
matte works. Each was careless about
publishing his works, or, rather, object
ed to do so lest they should be acted
by rival dramatic companies. Plays of
each were collected by actors and first
published in complete form after the
death Of the authors.
Each touched up or produced plays
that are lost or of doubtful origin.
Each disregarded novelty of plot, Dor
rowing from various sources. Each
disliked his profession. The personal
character of each was gentle, kind,
generous. Each had profound knowl-
edge of human nature. Each preferred
the idea or matter to the comparative
disregard of the manner. Each had a
remarkable fecundity and fertility Of
production. Each died at the age Of
ffty-two. ,.~.

Too Much Food.

Much Of the sinking, tired and empty
feeling from which business men who
work their brains alone so often suffer
is due to the accumulation Of toxins in
the system which want working off,"
Two meals q day and active exercise
are the preventive, and there is no ex-
ercse which can be got at any time
and by anybody to the extent that
walking can. But to do good it must
not be sauntering. Really smart"
walking is what is wanted.-Hospital.

The Orkney Islands.

''The member from the Orkneys' is
the only man in the British house of
commons who can say he sits for 200
islands. Only sixty of the islands are
inhabited, but the constituency en-
braces more than 10000 people.
The Orkneys were once given by Nor
way to England as security for a
queens dover and never redeemed. In
the islands the voters must go to the
polls by boats, and in some cases the
distance to be Travelled is eight miles.
