The Human Mouth.

1t has been discovered that the hu-
man mouth is slowly but surely and
steadily moving toward the left of the
face, which will in time bring it some
where in the neighborhood Of the left
ear. All the five great races Of man
have an uncomfortable tendency to eat
only with the teeth which grow from
the left jaws. This wears out the left
teeth more rapidly than those on the
right side of the mouth, and this in
turn gives the upper and lower jaws
an inclination toward the left.
1t is the expressed opinion of many
scientists who are foremost in the
worlds roll Of professional honor that
in the course Of time the mouth from
causes above mentioned will have com.
pletely changed its position and that it
will then be situated rather nearer the
left ear than to the nose.

uniniured Lion. seldom Charge,

Like every other animal, the lion
tries to avoid man until wounded, and
1t is only in exceptional cases of there
being young ones to guard or from as
tonishment at seeing the hunters SO
close to them that they charge when
being tracked.
They charge with the same coughing
roar that a tiger does and come at
great speed close to the ground, not
bounding in the air, as they are repre-
sented in pictures. Their ears are
pressed close to the head, giving them
the comical appearance of being with
out ears.-London Times.

Fishing Through stree. eratings.

In Winchester, England, it is quite a
common thing to see men fishing
through the street gratings. Under the
High street there flow several streams
which ultimately discharge into the
river Itchen, noted trout stream.
These streams receive the storm and
surface water from the street by means
of the ordinary street grating The line
is dropped through and fastened to the
end of a stick small enough to go
through the crate. When the fish is
hooked, the line and stick are dropped
through the grating. and the fisherman
rushes to the point where the stream
emerges from under the street and is
there able to recover his line and land
his fish

Drinking through the No.tr,1,.

The Indian sages do not practice
their breathing exercises simply for
the sake Of repose and sleep. During
the inbreathing energy Is increased.
These Indians are not the only people
who believe that with the inbreathing
of pure air there comes something still
more vital than oxygen. But the lndk
ans have developed the art Of breath.
Ing more than any other people.
One Of their favorite exercises Is to
inhale through the left nostril. to hold
the breath for a time and then exhale
through the right nostril-
Another Of their exercises is to drink
water through the nostrils. and after ii
has been retained for a short time it is
expelled through the nostrils and the
mouth. This is said to cool the head

In Surrey county, N. c.. there is a
mountain whose outline displays
striking likeness to the sphinx of
Egypt: 1t is in the northwestern part
of the state, Just east of the Blue
