The sight of full grown centiped Is
said by travellers in tropical lands to he
enough to affect the strongest nerves.
Ten to eleven inches is the average
length, although larger ones have been
seen. Lafcadio Hearn in Two Years
In the French West Indies says that
the vitality of the centiped is amazing.
Mr.. Hearn kept one in Il bottle, with
out food or water for thirteen weeks,
Mt the end Of which time ii remained
active and dangerous as ever. The
centiped has one natural enemy able to
cope with him-the hen.
The hen attacks him with delight and
often swallows him, head first, without
taking the trouble TO kill him. The cat
hunts him. but she is careful never to
put her head near him. She has trick
of whirling him round and round upon
the floor so quickly us to stupefy him;
then, when she sees good chance, she
strikes him dead with her claws.
There arc superstitions concerning
the creature which have Il good effect
in diminishing his tribe. If you Kill a
centiped, you are sure TO receive money
soon, and even if you dream of killing
one it is good luck.

In Pennsylvania the oil of rattle
snakes is preserved most carefully as
liniment especially good for sore joints
and for rheumatism. In procuring the
oil the dead snake is nailed head and
tail TO a board and cut open. The fat
is taken out and laid upon Il cloth in
the hot sun. from which the filtered oil
drips into Il jar. From fear that the
reptile may have bitten itself the clear
oil is tested by dropping a portion of it
into milk. If it 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 pol
sonous and thrown away.

SubstItute For Quinine.

You think you are bilious. Well, /
should think you would be! What did
you expect your stomach and liver
could stand? You ought to he thank
full that you got off with simply being
bilious. The wonder is that you have
any stomach or liver left at all, says
Medical Talk.
What would advise? Well, in Or
der to stir M your liver a little and
give you n slight gymnastic exercise L
would advise you to 20 and find the
doctor who gave you 100 grains of
quinine and give him a good licking.
Hit him with your hands. Don't hit
with club or shoot him. Just use
your open hand. After you have done
this right | would quit using tobacco,
If not entirely at least nearly so, say
little after supper each day. Use no
alcoholic stimulants of any sort. Let
your diet be simple and plain. Avoid
excesses. Avoid everything fried dur
ing the hot season. Eat much fruit;
drink much water. Take long nights
sleep. Behave yourself. Keep away
from the doctors.

spced of Racing Cnmels.

The racing camel is very carefully bred
and valuable prizes are offered by a
racing society at Biskra for the fieetest
racer, says Pcarson's Magazine. have
seen the start of race and 1t remind
cd me. in faroff sort of way, Of a
horse race. The camels were all ar
ranged in line and they shifted the air
I'm their anxiety to be off. A flag was
waved and they set off at a terrible
pace as II 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-
cceded with long intervals between
the competitors. have also seen the
finish of camel race. and 1t 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 ana
great patience was necessary to watch
them arrive.

Unknown to Women.

Every woman should read, without fail,
The following paragraph. She will learn
pomethiug about herself she never knew
before.
Thompsou's Barosma is not only Won
derful kidney, liver aud bladder cure, but
has particular advantage as a remedy
for Chronic Female Weakness, Palpitation
of the Heart, bearing down sensations,
Nervous Debility. Leucorrh9a or Whites,
and Dropsical Swellings. Its peculiar ad-
vantage lies in the fact that it is both
female regulator and kidney, liver and
bladder cure. The womb is situated back
of and very close to the bladder. A woman
having any pain or distress in the back or
side, at once attributes it to female weak
ness when many times her trouble is ell
tirely from the kidneys or bladder. Hence
a woman making this grave mistake vii,
find a sure remedy in Barosma, for
whether she is suffering from womb dis
order or any disease of the kidneys, liver
and bladder Rarosma will effect per-
manent cure. For this two-fold reason
Barosma is the best woman's remedy on
the market rhompson's Dandeloin and
Mandrake Pills should be used with the
Barosma, for the liver and constipation.
They are purely vegetable and do not
gripe.

The Dog.

Man is the best friend of the dog.
Horses come next, but between the
dog and all other farm animals, from
the house eat to the COW and the beef
steer, there seems to be Natural en-
nifty. Dogs. however, are fond OF
sheep and goats-but as diet, not as
living friends. Cows and sheep and
goats should be kept as free from as
sociation with dogs as is possible, with
the exception of the trained shepherd
dog. A dog walking through a cow
pen will often cause decrease in milk
flow that amounts to more than the
cash value Of the dog. Many dogs are
worth considerably less than 5000

A MNatlc Volume.

A good story is told of the Russian
police. who are very careful lest any
literature of an athestic 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 n 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
glyphcs. The peasant showed it to Il
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.

C'CONNELL'S GOODNESS.
A story of the Irish Liberntor and e
Falling Floor.


Daniel O'Connell was once address
ing an enormous meeting in Kings
town. and the crowd was so large that
fear was felt for the safety of the
building. As he was about to speak a
gentleman ascended the platform and
said. trembling with fear: "Liberator,
the floor is giving way! The beams are
cracking. and we shall all fall through
i'm few minutes" 1t is not given to
many men to live through such mo-
ments as O'Connell lived through as he
rose to address the meeting nor to pre-
serve such magnificent courage in the
face of great peril. Warming the man
to keep quiet. the liberatOr said. Il find
this room too small to contain the num-
her who desire TO come in, so we must
therefore leave It and hold the meeting
outside" \ few rose to leave, but the
hall was still packed. and then O'COn-
nell said Then | will tell you the
truth. You are Irishmen and therefore
brave men. The floor is giving way,
and we must leave this room Mt once.
If there is Il panic and rush TO the
door. we shall all be preclpitated into
the room below, but if you obey my
orders we shall be safe. Let the dozen
men nearest the door 20 quietly out,
then the next dozen, and so on until all
have gone. | shall be the last to leave"
The Irishmen followed the advice, the
hall was quickly cleared, and as O'Con-
nell walked across the floor the broken
beams gave way.-Oxford Chronicle.

THE TOP OF VESUVIUS.
A visit to the Crater OF the seethiuR
Volcano.

Volcano.
There was no life on that bare, black,
birdless cone, and as we climbed an icy
wind began to blow, and the lava dust
stung the face like hail. The crust was
warm to the feet. | dipped my hand
into an aperture the size of rabbit
hole and withdrew it hot and wet. On
every side the smoke eddied up from
tiny craters. but all these things were
details in face of that everlasting vom-
il of black smoke from the crater.
The wind ragged above us as we drew
near the crater. and the lava dust spat
more viciously; the sulphurous smoke
hid the world'from our view. II was as
if the lieutenants of that angry mon
arch strove tn prevent mortals from
gazing too closely at her Internal Or
gies. On hands and knees we grabbed
our way up the cone, coughing, blinded
by the smoke, buffeted by the icy wind.
We reached the verge of the crater and
threw ourselves on our faces. | peered
for one moment into that caldrOn Of
fire and smoke The guide clutched
my arm and motioned me to follow
him round the edge Of the crater. I
crawled after him, crying, Enough"
But he did not hear. He could not have

wind.

 Work has been commenced on the Benson end of the Phoenix & Eastern. A grading crew began work there last week and is going north with a rush. Besides this other camps are being established along the line, so that crews will be at work in several places. One such camp has already been established at Buchanan's wells. says Phoenix paper
 Grading between Tempe and Mesa continues, considerable work having been done. The grade from Phoenix to the bridge at Salt river is now com plete and the temporary bridge is about finished.
