Babies cry very little in India-they
obey spiritual law as a flower. The
lotos bud, lying on a stone bench in a
dirty room, sucks it's toe and seems
dreaming of the pranks of baby Krish-
ma and solving problems of the uni
verse. AS it grows older it is very TIM
id and shy in the presence of its elders.
It feels the religious awe around it and
does not break out into boisterous
sport when all seem at prayer
But there is much love in India and
these humble households seem very
happy. They are all in all to each 9th
er and seek nothing outside either in
society CO amusement. Beautiful char
acter comes from obedience to law and
not from lawlessness. In India chill
dren are the browning gift Of life. 1t
is horror to be childless.-Everybod y's
Magazine.

The frogs skin is so important as a
breathing apparatus that the creature
would die at once Of suffocation If the
pores were closed by coat of sticky
varnish, by dust or in any other way.
While we are speaking of his breathing
you will notice that his sides do not
heave as ours do at each breath we
take. A frog has no ribs and cannot
inhale and exhale as we do, but is
obliged to swallow his air in gulps, and
if you will watch this little fellows
throat you will see it continually NOV
ing in and out as one gulp follows an
other In order to swallow, his mouth
must be closed. Just try to swallow
with your mouth wide open and you
will see what | mean. A frog, then, al
ways breathes through his nose, and if
you held his mouth open he would suf-
focate as surely as though you gave his
skin coat of varnish.-Wo Home

The Exclusivenes. of Caste.

An English officer who some years
ago was wounded in a battle in India
and left lying all night among the ma
tive dead and wounded tells this story:
Next morning we spied man and
an old woman, who came to us with
a basket and pot of water, and to
every wounded man she gave a piece
of joaree bread from the basket and
drink from her water pot. To us she
gave the same, and l thanked heaven
and her. But the Soobahdar was
high caste Rajpoot, and, as this woman
was Chumar or of the lowest caste,
he would receive neither water nor
bread from her. l tried to persuade
him to take it that he might live, but
he said that in our state, with but
few hours more to linger, what was a
little more or less suffering to us-why
should he give up his fate for such an
object? No; he preferred to die I'M
polluted"

zone Of the strange features OF Ja-
pan," said a man who has lived long in
that country, sis that all crops and
fruits are almost certain to deteriorate.
I have seen beautiful peaches grown
the first year from stock imported from
the United States. The second year
they were still fairly good, the third
season poor, and after that unfit to eat.
Nothing in the vegetable world would
seem to retain it's excellence for any
length Of time. 1t is bamboo country,
and erything reverts to the bamboo.
Beautiful lush grass covers many a
plain, and yet it gives no nutriment to
cattle Garden vegetables look as fine
as any grown in the United States, but
when cooked they have no taste. The
flowers are of gorgeous hues, but they
are without perfume.
"But even with these imperfections
it is a very interesting corner of the
earth. and many things recommend it.
It's inhabitants are in their way a fine
people. In the rural districts particu-
larly the natives are the most honora-
BILE beings I ever met. In the cities
they are sharper mentally, but not
nearly so scrupulous.'

A thousand wonders in nature are
lost to the human eye and only reveal
ed to us through the microscope. Think
of dividing Il SPIDERS web into thou

and nerves in the wing OF gossamer

Cnes as Life Preservers.

The fashion of wearing the hair in a
cue commenced to wane in the latter
part of the seventeenth century. AS
we think now of those queer pigtail
appendages it seldom occurs to us that
they could have been of any use ex-
cept as an index to human folly. 1t
appears, however, that occasionally
they were a very important part of
gentleman's person, as may be inferred
from the following complaint published
in England at the time the fashiona-
bles commenced to cut their hair:
'The bathers of Brighton complain
bitterly of the trouble they have in
pulling young gentlemen out of the sea
since they have cut off their cues. Till
one of these locked fashionables is
drowned from this circumstance the
rage for cropping will not die out"

"John, buy a magnet while you're
out. Ruth has lost the old one,' said
the head Of a big dressmaking estab-
;ishment to her errand boy
what do you do with magnets
here| woman who was being fitted
asked.
"We find needles with them"
"How do you meanw
Every day 1t naturally happens that
my forty-five assistants drop a great
many needles on the floor To stop and
look for these needles would take time
They are all left lying, therefore, till
the days end, when a cleaner goes over
the room with a magnet, holding it
close to the floor. Every lost needle in
stantly, then, jumps up on the steel
and in that way all are recovered in a
few minutes. To recover them by any
other means would take at least an
hour" -Philadelphia Record.

Baroness Bonde wrote in her diary
the following account Of the abdication
of Louis Philippe Of France on the
day Of that remarkable occurrence:
IAN aid-de-camp Of the minister Of
war, who was in the kings cabinet
when he abdicated, gave me detailed
account of this most signal piece of
cowardice. He had reviewed the troops
in the carrousel on horseback, highly
rouged, when cry was raised, 'Voici
les Faubourgsv No one had any or
ders; no one gave any. The mob rush
nationales! INVENT les troupesv and
shook hands with the outposts. The
king retreated precipitately with his
sons, and a sublieutenant OF the ma
tional guard rushed into the palace ask
ing to see him. He was admitted and
in the greatest agitation said, Your
majesty must abdicate.' Very WE'LL
says the king In favor Of my grand
son. No, Internationally says the
young and self elected mouthpiece of
public opinion. Would you believe it?
OF all who were congregated round the
royal person Piscatory alone said: Go
down and head your troops. Fight for
your crown and your dynasty He
was overruled, and they all marched
out Of the palace except the Duchesse
d'Orleans, her children and the Due
de NemOurs."

The Emotional Foreigner.

I saw a very pathetic sight on Forbes
street, said the observing young wom-
an, and it made me smile. A poor for
eigner-I can't tell you his nationality
stood on the corner surrounded by a
big pile of luggage.
He signaled to an approaching car,
but the car passed right on. Motorman
and conductor possibly objected to the
load of freight. No sooner had the car
passed than the young man burst out
crying, and the tears rolled down his
cheeks. 1t seemed strange to see
man act so.
1t was one of those stories which
have no beginning and no ending. 1t
may be that he had waited there long
and that no car would stop for him. 1t
may be that he thought that that was
the last car that was going to his desti-
nation. 1 only know that he was
stranger in a strange land and that he
seemed broken hearted and that l
smiled to see a grown man in tears for
so simple thing.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Origin. Of tn. Term Phall.tine..

Origin Of the Term Phalistines.
About the year 1890, at Jena, where
the west gate of the city is remark
able for four images Of monkey heads.
cut in stone at each corner of the gate,
q quarrel arose between the students
Of the university and the citizens, dur
ing which the gownsmen called the
gate watchmen monkey watchmen."
To avenge this insult the watchmen
killed one Of the students, whose fu-
neral sermon was preached from the
text, 1.-The Philistines be upon thee,
Samson" From that time the towns
people were called by the students
-Philistines," and this use Of the word
spread to other places.
In another explanation, given as
early as 1777 by Adelung, reference is
made to the Balistarii, or crossbow-
men, who were called in Hungary
Philistaei, and to the municipal sol
diers of Vienna, who had the nickname
Philisters as early as the seventeenth
century.
The word was brought into promi-
nent notice in England by Matthew
Arnold, who appears to have adopted it
from Heine. By Philistine he meant
"a strong, logged, unenlightened OPP
ponent, like Goliath, of the chosen peo-
pie, Of the children Of sweetness and
light"

The principal Palace Of Waters 10 an
immense hall which stretches in mys-
tcrious grandeur far beneath the city
Of Constantinople. Its roof Is formed
Of wide spanned arches supported on
massive marble columns. These stand
some ten feet apart. and their capitals
are deliberately wrought.
This marvellous building springs
from an eXpanse of waters which un-
derlies the foundations Of the city for
miles. It's origin and extent have been
shrouded In mystery ever since its dis
covery about seventy years ago, when
some Of the arches gave way. All at
tempts to explore by boat this marvel
of construction have been either fatal
or fruitless.
Another palace of waters was the
stately Palace of Ice w1ch was built
in 1889 at the command of Anne, en-
press Of Russia, to honor the nuptials
of the Prince Gallitzin and a simple
peasant girl. In this novel palace
bride and bridegroom were housed, in
rooms Of which the walls and furni-
ture and bed were constructed wholly
Of frozen water.

He Burned Lot. of Wood.

A veracious chronicler Of the times
of Jonathan Edwards gives figures
which prove liberal consumption Of
fuel in the household Of the great theo-.
Logan. In the winter of 174O-41 the
town of Northampton supplied the Ed
wards parsonage with seventy-fve
loads of wood. In the next season
eighty-two loads were delivered. For
the succeeding winter the total was
seventy eight. and year afterward the
astonishing quantity of ninety-fve
loads was supplied. There was no lack
of fire at the Edwards hearth. Is it
wonderful. then, that he preached
burning sermons?

Encouraxine the Horses.

A clergyman who spent many years
In missionary work in the west says
that he had occasion one Gay to ride In
a full stagecoach up a steep hill. The
driver where the ascent was sheerest
got out and walked, and as he walked
he would frequently open the door OF
the coach and then shut it again with
a slam. This the passengers found an
noying.
''Look here. driverw one Of them
said. "Why do you kick up such an in
fernal noise with that dOor?''
''To hearten up my horses" the driv-
CIR answered. Every time they hear
this door close they think that one of
you, taking pity on them, has got out,
and that makes them imagine that
their load is lighter"

FishhOOks.

Practically all the best fishhooks in
the woodland nearly so of all quali-
ties-are made at Redditch, England.
The annual output is probably 5OO,-
100000 hooks, about 100000 per
week, ranging in size from enormous
and ferocious looking shark hooks to
the tiniest hooks for very small trout
flies, with bend" diameter of about
one-sixteenth of an inch, thousand
of which will not more than fill
good sized thimble. The price varies
as much as the size, ranging from
few pence to two or three pounds per
thousand.

Desert Gems.

In 1889 a hunter in the northwest of
New South Wales wounded a kanga-
roo. The animal went off through the
mulga and the salt bush at a pace too
fast for the hunter to follow and was
soon out of sight. The hunter was a
bushman and did not despair. He fol
lowed the blood trail, hopeful Of a
short search and a speedy bag. At one
point Of the pursuit it may be that the
trail grew faint and necessitated a
closer inspection. Anyway the hunter
stopped and picked up piece Of stone.
This he examined. The red spot was
not Old it. 1t was in it. 1t was not
blood that he saw; it was opal. Such
was the beginning Of the White Cliffs
opal fields.

Dangerous Smoking.

Natives of Central America are in
veterate users of pimento tobacco,
which they make from dried pimento
berries, or allspice. 1t invariably gives
the smoker a sore throat and often
causes cancer of the tongue. The ma
tives of South Africa are affected in a
peculiar manner by the smoke from
the dried leaves Of the camphor plant.
The smoker tremb!es with fright at
nothing, weeps bitterly and uses all
sorts of words which do not in the
least express his meaning. The wild
dagga, another South African plant
poisons slowly those who use it.

brick into the parlor mother will whip

Shortly afterward she again found

brick, Alice?"
''Well, this isn't another brick" said

dinner in silent torture. A hornet got
caught under her cape and travelled
about searching for an outlet, stinging
