The Passions and Health.

"The passions effect on the health is
not sufficiently regarded" says ply
sician in the Philadelphia Record.
"The passion which is best for the
health is avarice. 1t keeps one cool,
encourages regular and Industrious
habits, leads to abstemiousness and
makes against all excess. And hence
the avaricious, the misers, live to a
great age. The misers of history were
oil noted for their longevity. Rage Is
very bad for one. The passion causes
an Irregular, intermittent beating of
the heart and the intermittency in
time may become chronic. Hatred ere
ates fever. If we hate, we grow lean.
This hot passion eats us like n flame.
Fear is bad for the nerves, the heart
ana the brain, and therefore we should
never permit ourselves to be afraid.
But the strangest effects of all have
been caused by the passion of grief.
The medical books record cases where,
coming suddenly In violent shock, 1t
has caused loss of blood from the
lungs in one person, paralysis of the
tongue in another and failure of sight
or temporary blindness in third"

"rhrce sheets In the wind. !.

"What was the origin of the phrase
for drunkenness, three sheets in the
windy" landsman asked sailor the
other day We'll" said the sailor, "I'll
explain that matter to you The two
lower corners of a SHIPS sail are held
taut by two ropes, one called tack
and another called a sheet The tack
Is always kept very tight, but the sheet
Is loosened according to the wind, and
the looser the sheet is the more freely
the sail swings. If the sail is quite
free, It's sheet is said to be in the.
wind Now. suppose that all three of
ships sails We're quite free. They
would then ay about very crafty, and
the ship would wabble. The course of
the ship would be zigzag one, and the
reason for this would be that she had
three sheets in the wind That,
guess, is why man, when he zigzags

How many readers are familiar with
the history and origin Of the most COM
mon articles they daily use? We eat,
drink, wear without thinking whence
or wherefore. Stockings were known
among the Romans more than 1900
years ago, as is proved by paintings
found in the ruins of Pompeii. They
We're considered more ornamental than
useful! Inrthe colder climate of northern
Europe they became necessity. and
fhe manufacture of them became a
recognized employment in the twelfth
century, when they were fashioned
chiefly of cloth. In the reign of Ed
ward II. they assumed resemblance
to those now worn. AT the courts Of
Spain and Italy they were fashioned of
silk and were made enormously large.

pn,r,,i,n wcadine customs.

A curious wedding custom which ex-
lists in Bulgaria is the shaving of the
bridegroom on the wedding day.
While the barber is engaged upon his
face dancing crowd of boys and girls
surround the bridegroom. When his
hair has been cut, the pieces are care
fully collected by some Of the girls, to
be preserved in one Of the brides
chests.
After the barber has finished his
work he receives small white linen
cloth as present, and each person
gives him tritling sum of money
Then the bridegroom kisses the hand OF
each girl, washes his face and dons his
wedding Dress which must be first nc
curately weighed three times by a lad.
These strange customs are said tt
date back to pre-Christan days, bu'
they are still strictly observed, espe
cially in country districts.

Several species of rllinoceroses, now
extinct and only found in a fossil state,
used to exist which had no horns ut
all. The name, meaning as it does
'horned nose" is rather misnomer in
their case. Several kinds of rhinoceroses
in Africa have two horns, one behind
the other, but the extinct rhinoceros,
known as the dyceratherium, had a
pair of horns on it's nose side by side.
