A Mystic Volume.

A good story is told of the Russian
police, who are very careful lest any
literature of an atheistic character
shall fall into the hands of the peas
ants.
A peasant in the province of Minsk
went to a publishers shop and asked
for Bible. Unwittingly the shopman
gave him an algebra primer.
On opening the book when he reach
ed home, the peasant was surprised to
find it full of mystic signs and hero
glyphics. The peasant showed it to a
policeman, who felt convinced that the
signs were of an extremely freethink-
ing character" and so arrested the
owner.
At the trial the peasant was dis
charged, and the policeman, instead of
being rewarded for his religious zeal,
was reprimanded.

The racing camel is very carefully bred
and valuable prizes are offered by a
racing society at Biskra for the fieetest
racer, says Pearson's Magazine. have
seen the start of a race and it remind
ed me, in a faroff sort of way, Of a
horse race. The camels were all ar
ranged in line and they shifted the air
In their anxiety to be off. A flag was
waved and they set off at terrible
pace, as if they were only racing for a
short distance. They kept together
until they were almost out of sight.
Then they seemed to settle down to
their habitual pace and the race pro-
ceeded with long intervals between
the competitors. have also seen the
finish of a camel race, and it reminded
me of the first motor car promenade
between London and Brighton. The
camels were certainly not so broken
down and bedraggled, but they came
in at intervals of several hours and
great patience was necessary to watch
them arrive.

Oil of Ratttesnakes.

In Pennsylvania the oil Of rattle
snakes is preserved most carefully as a
liniment especially good for sore joints
and for rheumatism. In procuring the
oil the dead snake is nailed head and
tail to board and cut open. The fat
is taken out and laid upon a cloth in
the hot sun, from which the filtered oil
drips into a jar. From fear that the
reptile may. have bitten itself the clear
oil is tested by dropping a portion of it
into milk. If 1t floats in one globule, it
is regarded as unaffected; If, on the
other hand, it breaks into BEADS and
curdles the milk, it is judged to be poi
sonous and thrown away.

FACTS CONCERNING SLEEP
Even a Midday Nap Is Better Than
the Noon Meal.

the Noon Meal.
The scholar and professional man,
like the anxious housewife, is apt to
carry his cares to bed, aud insomnia
becomes q curse Men and women who
are busted in getting and gaining, the
merchant, the banker, all alike, fail to
secure that self control which can
manage the mind as well asleep as
awake.
Normal sleep should be purely q
physiological repose similar to the rest
of animals, who go to sleep with the
darkness and awake with the light.
Some one has said that sleep is like
hunger and thirst, representing a dimi-
mutton of energy throughout the entire
body. | hardly think this can be true,
but in my judgment sleep rather sug-
gests the diminution of the energy of
the brain, and he is a wise man who
takes the hint when brain flag sets in
of an evening and goes comfortably
and properly to bed.
OF course it goes without saying that
night is not the only time for sleep.
Men and women who are busy could
steal just few minutes before or after
the MONDAY luncheon to catch little
nap, and, indeed, l am nearly sure
that the monday nap is worth far
more than the monday meal, for the
digestive processes are surely hindered
during the periods of mental activity,
and it is the exceptional person in this
busy world of ours who is not called
upon to use all his brain and Drawn to
make a living. 1t has been my habit
to advise mothers to steal while away
from every "cumberous care" and,
even if sleep fails to be wooed, to take
about twenty minutes every day in alb
solute peace and quietness, diverting
the mind from all anxieties and relax
ing all the muscles. A habit of this
kind is easily acquired, and we might
have fewer neurasthenic women, whose
nerves make life hideous to their fami-
lies, if q word like this, spoken from
considerable experience, were needed

To clean Nickel Clocks.

Cheap nickel clocks that have proved
their convenience through much popu-
lar use play tricks with their timekeep-
ing occasionally for want of cleaning.
This fault may be quickly remedied
with naphtha. The backs should be
unscrewed and the works taken out
and immersed in the fluid, treatment
that will speedily restore their service
unless some more radical defect than
dust is the trouble.

FEEDING The ANIMALS.
How Some wild Captives Act When
MeaItime Arrives.

An animal is almost as demOnstratiVe
when he is hungry as when he IS IN a
rage. They are both natural feelings
and he sees no reason for disgusting
them. Human beings who are affected
In the same way as animals by hunger
pay tribute to civilization by not let
ting this appear. At an animal show
in this city the wild occupants OF the
cages get very wild when the hour
comes for them to be fed. A truck
laden with meat and vegetables is
wheeled around. Long before it gets to
their cages the lions act as if beside
themselves over the maddening pros
pect of food. The cages are very small,
and vet lion and liOness will often be
in one. They tear from one side to the
other the lion jumping over the body
of the Iioness rather than make q ''lOn-
ger trip around" Though they ought
to have learned that each will get a
share they both plunge for the great
chunk Of meat. Once they get it they
eat it with q certain intensity, but de-
liberation.
The hyenas, Founders" of the ami
nal realm, are horribly greedy and
will steal from each other every
chance they get. The apes, the "snobs'
of animal kind, are rather fastidious, il
greedy. The ostrich, large, robust bird
that it is, awaits it's food with much
stolidity and when it gets its head Of
cabbage pecks at it in a most con-
tanned, ladylike fashion. The stoical
elephant is a placid eater also.-New

THE PIANO TUNER.

Why He Left In Hurry After Fin
ishing His job.
A lady stepped into a piano ware
room recently to engage tuner, but
before doing SO insisted upon the stron-
gest assurance that the tuner was re-
sponsible. She was so determined that
the manager became curious to know
the reason for her disbelief in the re-
liability of tuners. She gave her ex-
perience with the last tuner she had,
and this is the story as she told it:
He had finished tuning the piano
when he looked up and said:
"Your instrument was in awful con-
dition. You ought to have sent for me
sooner"

ago"
"Then the man who did it certainly
