Mohammedans and Pigs.

A recent traveller in Somaliland gives the following curious incident show ing the Mohammedan hatred for pigs: we shot two wart hogs, one partic- ularly big boar. Alan wished to keep the tusks, but of course none of the Somalis would touch the unclean ami nal. At last a bribe of rupees in- duced the Midgan woman to chop the tusks out with a hatchet. Even then she would not touch them and with the help of two sticks, which she used like a pair of tongs, put them on a camel Then there was long dispute about the hatchet. No one would touch 1t. It had been defiled. Of course this was pure affectation and playing to the gallery on the ayah's part. At home with her native tribe she would have gorged all the pig she could get. But 1t lattered the Somalis, and we march ed ofr, the ayah holding the hatchet at arms length as if 1t were going to bite her"

BLOOD CIRCULATION.
A. c. EATON.

Breathing and Its Relation to the
 Secret of Good Health.
 The secret of health. as every intelli- gent physician knows, is free and full circulation of the blood, and this circu- lation is dependent absolutely on thor ough oxygenation. In many cases where erroneous habits of living have been so long continued that congestion has become chronic in one shape or an- other-obesity, gout, rheumatism, con- gtfpation or tuberculosis having camped in the system and crippled it. the patient Is not apt to be in condt- ton to readily assimilate a sufficient quantity of oxygen direct from the at mosphere. The breathing apparatus must first be properly developed, so that the patient shall be able to grad ualiy increase the supply of air to the system, until at last he recovers the normal power of deep breathing.
 With the building up of the lungs through proper breathing there is metabolism of all the tissues and or gans, SO that, for most men, breathing exercises are more important than any mere muscular exercise. Not only the lungs, but all the internal organs are brought into play by correct breathing. 1t develops the heart, stomach, liver and kidneys directly and indirectly and nourishes all these organs as they should be nourished by more blood and better blood in constant and regular circulation. Breathing. therefore. is sovereign remedy for our national dis ease of nervous depletion. It might we'll replace the countless tonics. stim- ulants and anodynes now so commonly resorted to. where results are nothing less than tragic in thousands of cases Maurice Manning. NJ. D.. in Vim.

HOW ,o.e. con. 10 nc Red.

More than with any other flower does the color of the rose have special sig nificanrc. Rcd r. love. white is silence, yellow speaks jcniousy. says x. Had son Moore in the Delinentor. One of the legends connected with the rose tells that it became white through be- ing bathed with the tears of mourners who sought the sweetest flower to lay in tie hands of thrir dead. \ prrttier conceit declares that all roses were white until one day young Cupid. dancing .among them. upset in his mcr- ry sport a glass of wine. which dyed the roses upon which it fell red. its own color. Another legend tells the story of holy little maid of Bethlehem who was doomed to d 'ath. When the stakes were hcap:.d around her the fire would not burn. but the brands which had been flaming turned to red roses and those which had not caught to white. From this time forth roses red and white. were martyrs flowers. The Turks say that red roses sprang from the blood of .MOhammed.

 In a Broadway crowd the other day Bilkins was forced chest to chest against a well dressed man. "Scuse me-" muttered Bilkins ungraciously. trying to wriggle past.
 My dear sir" said the other man, raising his hat with his left hand, you need not make any excuses. The fault is not yours. and, besides, you have done me no injury. Even If you had I would know it was the accidental re- suit of the crush. and would hold you entirely blameless. hope have not inconvenienced you. Good afternoon, sir.''

Especially was she taken with the dic- tionary, the study of which she found to be a great help to her in conversing with the cultured people whom she met at different places.
 Some friends called one evening to bid the Mixitts farewell before the lat ter left for their European tour.
 "Now," said one of the friends, "when you go to climb those noun tains you be sure that you have a good guide."

Lore of the Clover.

Any one who carries about a four leaved clover will be lucky and will have the power of discovering ghosts or evil spirits. With 1t under the pill low the lover may insure dreams of the beloved one. A fragment in the ahoe of a traveller insures a safe jour ney. Of the five leaved clover it is de clared that if 1t be worn on the left side of a maiden's dress or fastened behind the hall door the Christian name of the first man who enters will be the same as that of the future hus- band. The power of the four leaved shamrock for good is familiar to all, from Lovers once popular and pretty song. the speaker in which pictures what she would do should she find the magic plant:
 would play the enchanter's part and
 scatter bliss around,
 And not a tear or aching heart should in

You can't punish Il mob unless you punish it while it is a mob. A man is not the same man while he is in q mob as he is while he is an individual, and this is one reason why it is so difficult ever to punish and individual for what he did as a part of a mob. This dis tinction is not fanciful; 1t Is a real diff ference, and public sentiment and pros ecuting officers and juries recognize 1t, whether they know it or not For this reason 1t is generally useless to hope for the punishment of men after q mob has dispersed.
