THE HAsTY MAN.
He Makes Some Mistakes, but There
Are Some Things In His
Favor.

"The hasty man is never traitor
German proverb.
The hasty man has never the time
to engage in plots.
He speaks the thought that's in his
mind.
Consistency is jewel, but only
second-rate men are fond of .jewelry.
He is weather vane, but he has
his seat as often on the feathers as
on the point. He turns his back on
the wind only when he has mind
to. The wind may switch him, but
cannot drive him.
He talks too much for comfort, but
never Willingly lies.
He misses many of the good things
of life-but never misses them.
He makes more errors, but covers
more bases than the cautious player.
AS an enemy he plays fair; as q
friend he is embarrassing. But he
has more friends than enemies. in the
which he but gets his due.
His greatest enemy is himself, and
he does not always love his enemies.
And here endeth the first lesson

The worlds Greatest wonder

The greatest by far among great
geographic features is the Pacific ba-
sin. If all the continents and islands
forming the face of the earth were
joined in one great continent, its ex-
tent would scarce equal that of the
great ocean, and if the mass of all the
lands of the globe above sea level were
poured into the Pacific barely more
than an eighth of the basin would be
filled, states the Geographical Maya
zine. Three-fourths of our world sur
face is water; full third of this va ST
eNpanse, or quarter of the superfices
of the planet, is that of the great ocean.
while its abysses are of such depth
that full half of the water of the
earth is gathered into its basin. In
every point the Pacific is vast. so va t
as to tax if not TO outpass our powers
of contemplation.

wing are directed forward when the
wing is folded.
These spurs are the outgrowth of
the metacarpal bone, and arise from
the anterior part of the two extrem-
tiles of this bone. The upper spur is
the larger and is triangular, about
two inches long and slightly curved
at the end.
A party of explorers and natural
lists captured one recently, which is
now in the London geological garden.
1t is very tame in it's demeanor to-
ward human beings, but puts itself
on the defensive as soon as it sees
a dog. 1t knows how to make such
good use of it's spurs that it can put
the enemy to flight by single stroke.
Besides these weapons on its wings
the kamichi has a very strong beak
and hard and resistant claws.

SPURS ON ITS WINGS.
The Knmichi, Native of south
America, Is One of the Strongest
Birds in the World.

One of the most remarkable curios-
tiles in the world, probably, in the
bird line, is the kamichi, the wing of
which is armed with spurs. This odd
creature is found in Brazil Guiana
and Colombia, and inhabits the deep
est forests along the water courses.
This large, black bird is very re-
markable for the strength of its
voice, which has powerful and pecI-
liar cultural notes. 1t bears on each
wing two powerful spurs, and on it's
head a pointed horn, three or four
inches long. The two spurs on each

BUILDING UP NOSES.
Leaving Scar by the Use of
Pnrnfin Wax.

Almost the latest, and to all wom-
ankind the most powerful and inter-
esting, of modern forces in surgery
is the use of paratfin wax, and with
this substance deformities that at
one time would have seemed irrem-
ediable are removed in manner that
is declared to be simply marvellous.
This use of parattin wax is no fan
tastic invention purporting to come
from across the Atlantic; it is a So
Der usage that is coming into vogue
with the greatest surgeons Of our
realm. Suppose that a nose is
badly broken that the joining f.
er of the splinters is an ut,SSr impos-
sibility, there is no reas5n whatever
that the nose should be deformity.
All our great surgeons now take q
quantity of the melted wax, and this
they very carefully inject below the
skin tissue of the nose, and as the
substance is absorbed and begins to
set, they can most carefully model
the nose to its original shape, OF even
to an improved one.
So easy of manipulation is the spe-
cial paratfin wax in qualified hands
and by the duly qualified alone it
should be handled-that it is wholly
impossible to tell that it has been
used. In some cases unsightly hol-
lows in the cheeks, and especially
near the eye, have been so filled up
that it was impossible to say thai
they had ever existed, and in one
specially-recorded case the whole con-
tour of woman's face had been al
tered by the very careful and artful
use of the wax. Many of the medi-
cal papers lately have been report
ing marvellous instances of dkfor1na-
ties modelled out of existenee by
means of this singular new agent.
Mr.. Stephen Paget, of the West
London hospital, declares that in the
case OF men and women with badly
broken noses the defect can be re-
moved in a few minutes without a
scar being left upon the patient and
without even the faintest inconven-
fence being caused to the latter. So
new is the remedy that but few, COM
paratively, have yet received the ben.
eft of it, but those who have would
seem to have been vastly pleased at
the alteration in their appearance

THE NEWEST AIRsHIP.
Two French Inventors Propose to Use
the SUMS Rays as Part of the Mo-
tive Power.

Two Frenchmen, NJ. Paul and NJ.
Lebaudy, have an airship which is be-
ing built near Nantes, France, and
above the Seine. so as to avoid acct
dents. The balloon is 1872 feet long
and SO feet in largest diameter, con-
tanning $3.50 cubic yards. 1t is of
peculiar shape, being fiat on the I'M
der side. so that it acts to some ex-
tent as an aeroplane. During the
trials the car will be provided with
guide rope 160 feet long, which will
be attached below to float in the
river, this to be heavy enough to pre-
vent the balloon from rising. AS the
ascensional force is often very sud
denly increased by the suns rays
falling on the balloon, it is designed
to prevent sudden rising due to this
cause. 1t has been found that when
the dispersion of a cloud allows the
suns rays to strike the balloon this
may increase it's temperature as
much as 40 degrees c. above the sur
rounding air. 1t is estimated that a
float weighing half ton will be suf-
ticient to provide for this emergency
Tie envelope of the balloon, which
weighs o.6 pound per square yard, OF
total of 976 pounds, is formed of a
layer of stout cotton cloth pasted on
each side of sheet of light rubber
The outside is coated with yellow
protecting substance, recently dis
covered, and known as ''ballonine.'
1t is found that this increases the
tightness and also gives protection
from the suns rays. The fabric thus
constituted is very resistant, and d
piece yard wide will stand a test OF
$500 pounds tension. Its impermea
bility is unusual, as tests show q
leakage of hydrogen of but eight
cubic inches per square yard in q
hours, or practically nothing. Below
the balloon is suspended a frame 6s
feet long, made of steel plates anc
tubes braced with piano wire. 1t car

Ancient Lightning conductor..

The ancients did not have lightning
rods constructed as ours are, but they
had lightning conductors, which
shows that they knew how to pro-
tect themselves from the danger that
lies in thunderstorm. Even so long
ago as the tenth century lightning
was diverted from fields by planting
in them long sticks or poles, on top
of which were lance heads. 1t is said
that the Celtic soldiers used to try
to make themselves safe from the
stroke during storm by lying on the
ground with their naked swords
planted point upward beside them.

THE VOICES.

In cadence, in measure,
AS the sound of water falling,
Comes the laughter and the music
OF the voices ever calling.
Mountain-tops and mellow valleys,
And the rocks rough-hewn features,
Streams and forests, farms and pastures
All alive with living creatures.
Butterflies upon the flowers,
Bees that delve into deep clover,
Cattle calling from the mountains,
And the joy of life all over.
Wild rose, darling of old nature,
With it's petals family flushing;
Farm girls, lost beneath sun-bonnets,
With their freckled faces blushing.
Wet dew in the early morning
And the sunset west at night,
Sounds and signs that fill the senses
With a fathomless delight.
In cadence, in a measure
AS the sound of water falling,
Comes the music of the voices
That to me are ever calling.

The Latest Mind Theory.

There is feminine and masculine
type of mind. The former depends
chiefly on memory and is reproduce
tive. The latter relies on reasoning
and is creative. The mind of the man
of science is masculine, that of the
clergyman feminine. Not every wom-
an possesses feminine mind, though
many men have little else.

resumed my tale, for 1 saw that
we were approaching my own home,
and felt now that 1 should probably
have to give up my trip to the village
for that day at least. 'Allibone ran
up the stairs after Margot and
pushed in at the door. Some villains
hand has been at work. he cried; and
then Margot turned from the stare
of those open eyes and looked around
the room. 1t was in dreadful disor-

sorts of clothing lay upon the floor,
the chairs were overturned, the
coverings ripped open. In fact, it
was evident to Margot that the poor

called priest, Sister of Charity, and
doctor had all been masquerading
and in league to defraud him of his
belongings. Margot began to tidy up

the stairs, saying, Pm going for the
police And the police are in

"And then Margot heard steps com
ing towards the door, and she fled
down the stairs.
THAT was dreadful night. She
heard the doctor and the priest talk
ing together in the parlor in low
tones, and when she tried to listen,
they closed the door and moved
across the room. She heard a great
deal of movement in the sick-cham-
and opening of drawers, but towards
morning all was quiet and she fell
asleep. When she awoke it was
broad daylight. The kitchen clock
had stopped at twenty minutes to
five. There was not a sound in the
house. At last the stiffness fright
ened her. She crept up to the back
door; it was bolted on the inside.
She listened; there was no sound.
Then patient and nurse must both
be asleep. She ran down the stairs,
and, coming out into the front hall,
she walked haltingly, feeling her
way, as it were, for she had beef so
often turned back, poor thing! ut
no one turned her back that day.
She saw not soul. She looked into
the parlor; no one was there. She
glanced in at the dining-room; no
one was there-only Julia laying the
cloth for Father Darby's and the
doctors breakfast. She then began
to mount the stairs, listening, listen

ran down the stairs again and to the

and unlocked. She opened the great
hall-door, and found that it was the
butcher, driving up the avenue. He
came slowly along the drive, and
turned off to go round to the kitchen.

up to the cart. All at once, when she
