Democratic members of the Council voted
against the proposition to extend the ac-

An exclusively pork diet tends In

vered in for months, makes man
strong, energetic and audacious. A
mutton diet continued for any length
of time tends to melancholia. while
veal eaters gradually lose energy and
gayety. The free use of eggs and milk
tends to make women Healthy and VI

ders its users phlegmatic and lazy.
Apples are excellent for brain work

The Oldest Force STORAGE,

The water wheel is probably, the old.
est method of obtaining mechanical
force apart from the employment OF
animal force. These wheels We're no
doubt at first worked by a flowing river
and then by falling stream, and II
would not be a very great advance on
this method to dam back the stream
SO as to obtain continuous supply Of
force even in times of drought Such
storing Of water at a sufficiently high
level Is the simplest and even at the
present time the most successful meth
Cd of storing force. If carefully ar
ranged. the loss by evaporation and
leakage is small and may he partly or
wholly replaced by rain. so the force is
always available. and but little labor is
needed to keep such works in repair.
The water clock of the Romans was
Il" ella loration of this method of stor-
in. force and was for them the only
form of motor"

Bengal Tigers.

The man eater Is usually an older
tiger, whose strength is falling and
whose teeth have partly lost their
sharpness. Such beast finds it easier
to lurk in the vicinity of settlements
and to pick up an occasional man, wo-
man or child than to run down wild
cattle
The largest, fiercest and most bright,
~ colored tigers are found In the PROV
tnce Of Bengal, near the mouths Of
the Gauges river and not far from
Calcutta. A full grown Bengal tiger
sometimes measures ten feet from nose
to tip Of tail. Such monster makes
no more account Of springing upon a
man that cat does Of Selling mouse
He surpasses the hon in strength and
ferocity and has no rival among beasts
Of prey except the grizzly bear and the
recently discovered giant bear Of Alas
ka.-St Nicholas.

The overcheck bears about the same
relation to the horse as the county jai,
does to human society. In case of the
trotting horse it seems that some de
vice must be used In order to compel
q horse to carry Its head out almost In
a line with its neck, SO that the curry
allure Of the latter at the throttle will
not cramp the windpipe or shut off
the horses wind. In case Of the run.
ming horse II naturally extends the
head and neck without artificial aid.
This is because the gallop is the horses
natural gate, while the trot Is ariticiul
when 1t comes to extreme speed.
Hence the overcheck Is needed. In the
utility horses the checkrein Is never
needed.-Field and Farm.

The Greenland shark.

The Greenland shark Is we'll known
as foe to whalcrs. 1t will follow a
dead whale to the ship and show no
fear Of the men while they are engaged
In cutting up the prey, biting out Jumps
from it as big as mans head. Some
times 1t happens that man will fall
off the slippery side Of the whale close
by the shark, but the latter never at
tacks him, being intent upon gorging
Itself with the flesh Of the cetaceall.
The most severe wounds from thrusts
Of the whalers' knives will not per
suade it 10 dcsst. This species of shark
is often partly or wholly blinded by a
parasitic worm three inches long which
fastens itself at the corner of the eye
and lives on it's fluids.

When Coins Were First Made.

Certain passages in the "lliad" of Ho,
mer would lead to the inference that
coins of brass were struck as early
as 1854 B. c. Tradition atfirms that
the Chinese had bronze coins as early
as 1920 b. G. But Herodotus, 1.-THE
father OF history" ascribes the "inven-
ton" of coins to the Lydians, about
nine centuries b. c., and there is no
satisfactory evidence that coins were
known prior to that date.

Right Doing,

Ones rightful work is often halted
by fear Of what others will say about
1t. This may be even more a barrier
to the work than the fear of not doing
the work at all. 1t takes courage to
do what we believe we ought to do,
when we think we shall be criticised

real calamity lies in not doing what

Talk about boarding the lion In his den.

The raiscn d'etre is found in the fnt,
that some days ago Mr.. Bostock offered
d bonus of $500 TO any young couple who
would consent 10 be married in his ia
nous den of lions.
The announcement brought responses
from, half dozen engaged couples and
all seemed serene for a sensational mar.
r,aee amid the lions, but the willy Mr.
Ecstock forgot one important particular
the officiating clergyman. The various
coupIes were willing, but the minister
was minus.

naners ,vr ~ clerevmun. a wel!-krown
congregational minister CT the city has
offer ed his services and the ceremony VIII
take place.
He stipulated that his name shall not
ne made known until after his Sunday
services, as his congregation might f1ic
objections.
The names OF the couple. however. are
Known. They are Harry Horne and The.
,,,sa Berg. Both are Danes. The reason
for the selection is simple. The various
