we're attack of the grippe and never fully
recovered, but got able to go to the Pow
der Works with the assistance Of a driv-
er. He wa confined to his bed for two
weeks in his final illness, and heartfailure

His remains were taken to Whining

The quasi miraculous benefits which
are associated with change Of air In the
popular belief are In reality derived
when they accrue from change OF en-
vironment, qua change Of habits Of
life. In great many instances the
measure of benefit obtainable would be
as effectually secured, and at much
less expense, by mere change Of habits,
without the fatigue and Inconvenience
of change of domiclle. The over
wrought city clerk might advantageous

No bird can fly for any appreciate
distance tail first. The nearest ap-
proach to such movement is shown in
the tumbler pigeon when that bird
slews his wings forward and, suddenly
turning back his head, throws a somer-
sault, but this is not true backward
flight.
When bird wishes to reverse its
motion it tits its body literally. as a
railway carriage would be tilted in
taking a curve. or increases the number
of beats given by one wing as com.
pared with the other or keeps one wing
extended while the other is partially
ficXed But a bird can no more fly
backward than ship can sail astern.
Some birds, however, and particular
~ the albatross, can fly half upside
down-that is, with the wings pointed
in a direction nearly perpendicular to
the sea-and when turning quickly in
this position the appearance is some
times almost as though the bird were
nsing iis wings In backward direc-
ton. though their structure is not really
adapted to any such movement, anf
when poised, facing a strong wind,
birds may seem to move asterD.

ROssetti and Whistler.

Whistler a sketch for painting and
asked him how he liked it, 1T has
good points," said Whistler. Go
ahead with 1t by all means"
A few weeks later he asked how the
work was progressing. 'All right"
answered Rossetti cheerfully, 'I'v'
ordered a stunning frame for It,"
Happening in at Rossettis ia Cheyne
Walk, Whistler asked to see the can
vas, which was brought out beauti-
fully framed
you've done nothing to it since l
saw It, have you?" said Whistler.
NO" replied Rossetti, "but I've writ
ten a sonnet on the subject If you
would like TO hear it."

the poet painter thereupon recited some
lines of peculiar tenderness and mel

Whistler broke in with:

A MAN OF MYSTERY.
Peculiar Life of Mctastasfo, the Cell
ebrated Italian Poet.

Peculiar Life of Mctastasfo, the Cell
ebrated Italian Poet.
MetastasiO Q69S-1782), the celebrated
dramatic and operate poet, spent fifty
five years in Vienna with the Marines
family without ever learning German
or wishing to learn 1t.
Besides his utter indifference to all
speech but Italian, Metastasio possess
ed many pecularities of character.
None might mention death in his pres
ence. Those who alluded to smallpox
before him he made II point not to
see again. In all bis fifty-five years
in Vienna he never gave away more
than the equivalent Of $50 to the
poor. He always occupied the same
seat at church, but never paid for II.
He took all his meals In the most mys-
terious privacy; his greatest friends
had never seen him eat anything but
biscuit with some lemonade. Nothing
would induce him TO dine away from
home. He never changed his wig or
the cut or color of his coat.
Metastaslo was to have been present
ed to the pope the day he died and
raved about the intended interview in
the delirium of his last moments. Mrs.
Piozzi familiar to readers of BOswell's
Life of DR.. Johnson as Mrs. Thrale)
collected these particulars from the Ia
dies of the Marines family, with
whom Metastasio was so long domesti-
Gated without speaking or understand
ing a word of their language from first

MEXICAN INDIAN MAlOENS.

They Take the Initiative In Love
Affairs and Do the Counting.
The custom of Mexico requires the
Indian girl to do all the counting. She
is just as bashful as the young swain
whom she wishes to fascinate, but she
has to take the initiative In love af-
fairs. The young people meet only at
the feasts, and after she has got mildly
under the influence of the native beer
that is literally consumed by all she
tries to attract his attention by dane
ing before him in clumsy way up and
down on the same spot. But so bashful
is she that she persistently keeps her
back turned toward him. She may
also sit down near him and pull his
blanket and sing to him In a gentle,
low voice a simple love song, such as
Beautiful man to be sure" II occa-
sion requires, the parents of the girl
may say to the parents Of the boy,
"Our daughter wants to marry your
SON." Then they send the girl to the
boys home that the young people may
become acquainted. For two or three
days perhaps they do not speak TO each
other, but finally she playfully begins
10 throw pebbles at him. If he does
not return them she understands thet
he does not care for her. If he throws
them back at her she knows that she
has won him. She let's her blanket
drop and runs off into the woods, and
he Is not long in following her.-Carl

The MunISa Bride.

Here Is picturesque incident In the
Munka wedding ceremony in India:
The bride goes to stream or well near
by with her pitcher and, having filled it,,
raises it aloft on her head, stcadying II
with her hand. The bridegroom comes
behind, as she turns homeward. and,
resting his hand on her shoulder, shoots
an arrow along the path in front of her
through the loOphole formed by her up
lifted arm. The bride then walks on
to where the arrow lies and picks 1t up
with her foot, still balancing the pitcher
on her head. Transferring it grace
fully to her hand she restores it to the
bridegroom, thus showing that she can
perform her domestic duties well, with
hand and foot at his service. He in
turn, by shooting the arrow in front Of
her. has shown his ability to protect
her and clear her path Of any danger
that may beset 1t.

On the ceiling of one of the rooms In
Sans Souci. the world renowned palace
of Frederick the Great In Prussia, Is
the painting Of huge spider with its
web. The reason for this odd decora-
ton Is that one morning just as the
king was about to drink his usual
morning cup of chocolate In this room
he turned aside for something, and
when, moment later, he took up the
cup he noticed a small spider had
fallen into it. Immediately upon CIV
ing an order for fresh cup pistol
report was heard, and It was dlscov-
cred that the cook had shot himself.
The reason for this, 1t was later found
out, was that he had poisoned the
chocolate, and of course when fresh
cup was ordered he supposed bis
treachery had been discovered. 1t was

EAT LETTUCE DAILY.
Then You VIII BE In No Danger of
Catching Smallpox.


Lettuce Is an absolute preventive Of
smallpox. No one is in the least par
ticle of danger of catching smallpox
who eats little lettuce every day.
Smallpox belongs to the scorbutic
class of diseases. Sailors at sea, de-
prlved of fresh vegetables, get scurvy.
Scurvy is a typical scorbutic disease.
Smallpox Is another. Smallpox always
RACES during the winter season, when
the poor people are deprived of fresh
vegetable foods.
Celery and onions are good for this
purpose, but there is such long inter-
yal between Their being gathered and
being eaten thai they lose most Of
their antiscorbutic properties. Lettuce
is served shortly after 1t Is picked,
and hence contains the valuable prop
critics which will prevent smallpox.
We say without the least hesitation
or reserve that lettuce will prevent
smallpox. 1t is thousand times bet
ter than vaccination. 1t hYs no liabil-
tiles, like vaccination, to produce other
diseases. We are willing 10 stake our
professional reputation on the broad
statement that any one who eats let
tuce daily will not catch smallpox,
whether he be vaccinated or not
