The Iron PilIar Of Da,h,

The famous iron pillar of Delhi is
dealt with in Casters Magazine The
pillar is a solid shaft of wrought iron,
sixteen inches in diameter and of a
length that is variously reported. The
total length is from forty eight to sixty
feet under ground and above, includ-
ing q capital of three and one-half
feet. The pillar contains about eighty
cubic feet of metal and weighs about
seventeen tons. The metal is, Of
course, charcoal iron, made directly
from ore in small billets; but how it
was welded up no one can tell, as no
record exists of any early method of
dealing with great masses of wrought
iron. An inscription roughly cut or
punched upon the column states that
Rajah Dhara subdued a people in the
Surdhu, named Vahlikos, and obtained
with his own arm an undivided SOW
ereignty on the earth for a long pc
Rod. The date Of the inscription has
been referred to the third or fourth
century after Christ, but on this au-
thorities are at variance.

The Friendly Catfish.

There is a species of fish that never
looks at the clothes of the man who
throws in the bait, fish that takes
whatever is thrown to it, and when
once hold of the hook never tries to
shake a friend, but submits to the in
evitable, crosses his legs and says
"Now lay me" and comes out on the
bank and seems to enjoy being taken
1t is fish that is a friend of the poor,
and one that will sacrifice itself in the
interest of humanity. That is the fish
that the state should adopt as its trade
mark and cultivate friendly relations
with and stand by. We allude to the
bullhead. The bullhead never went
back on a friend.
To catch the bullhead it is not neces-
sary to tempt his appetite with a por-
terhouse steak or to display an ex-
pensive lot of fishing tackle. pin
hook, piece of liver and a cistern pole
are all the capital required to catch a
bullhead. He lies upon the bottom Of
a stream or pond in the mud thinking.
There is no fish that does more think
ing or has a better head for grasping
great questions or chunks of liver than
the bullhead. The bullhead has a fine
india rubber skin that is as far ahead
of fiddlestring material for strength
and durability as possible.

Eyes That Change Color.

Although the eyes of children may
deepen or alter in color with their
growth, the change of hue in the iris
is principally due to the development
of disease. The most marked changes
are produced by an 1nfammatory dis
ease known as acute iritis. The iris
of the eyes of the sufferer from this
disease entirely changes color, prin-
cipally owing to the loss of distinctness
in It's fibers, with a consequent clouded
appearance. The pupil is contracted.
and small brownish white specks ap-
pear in it, produced by the breaking
away Of adhesions of the iris to the
capsule of the lens.
The varieties of color in the eyes of
different individuals and of different
kinds of animals mainly depend upon
the color of the pigment which is de-
posted in cells in the substance of the
Iris, and the eye can, therefore, only
be said to change color when there is
a change in the color of the iris. The
color of the sclerotic coat or white of
the eye, is frequently affected by dis
ease or accidents, of which the well
known bloodshot appearance is most
common.

Some Mu.tache History.

What is the history of the mustache ?
In Greece and Rome no mustaches
were worn without boards, but in the
conquering days of the Roman empire
several half civilized races who had
come partially under the influence of
the Romans and who wished to be rid
of the name of barbara, or wearers of
boards, attempted to shave in imitation
Of their conquerors; but, as they had
very imperfect implements for the pur-
pose and as the upper lip is notoriously
the hardest part of the face to shave in
the case of any one poorly skilled in the
art, they were unable to make a clean
job of it and left quantity of hair on
the upper lip.
This mark was characteristic of sew
eral nations on the confines of Roman
civilization, of the Gauls in particular,
of the Daciens and some others. The
Latin language has no word for mus
tache. This barbarous accident was
unworthy of the honor of a Roman
name.-Exchange.

WHY NOT SPEAK ENGLISH
The Use of Some Words In the Sim
gular and Plural.

The Use of Some Words In the sim
guIar and Plural.
Is cherub an English word? If so
its plural is cherubs, and not the He
brew word cherubim. Is lexicon an
English word, and criterion also? If
so their plurals are lexicons and cri-
terions, not the Greek lexica and cri-
terra. Is appendix an English word,
and index and vortex? If 30 the plu-
rails are appendices and indexes and
vorteXes, and not the Greek appendices,
indices and vortices. Is memorandum an
English word, and curriculum, gym
nasium, medium and sanatorium? If
so their plurals are memorandums and
curriculums, gymnasiums, mediums
and sanatoriums, and not the Latin
memorana, curricula, gymnasia, media
and sanatoria. Is formula an English
word and nebula also? If so the
plural is formulas and nebulas and not
the Latin formule and nebule. Is
beau an English word, and bureau? If
so the plural is beaus and bureaus, and
not the French beauX and bureaux Is
libretto an English word? If so its
plural is librettos, and not the Ital-
ian libretti. Why not speak English?
Crisis is thoroughly acclimated in the
English language, and so is thesis,
and yet there are those who prefer
crises and theses to the normal and
regular crisises and thesises. Perhaps
they are seeking to avoid the unpleas-
ant kissing of the English plural; but
none the less they are falling into ped
antry.-Brander Matthews in Harper's
Magazine.

"orig,na1, and Actual Sin.

A wealthy Australian Scotsman
named Allan died some years ago and
bequeathed a considerable sum of
money to provide perpetual prizes to
the Presbyterian children of the COM
monwealth for proficiency in Scrip
tural knowledge. A report of the AL
Ian bequest committee, presented to
the Presbyterian general assembly in
Melbourne, contained some entertain
ing reading. "What is the difference
between original sin and actual sin?'
elected these answers among others:
Original sin is Adam eating forbid
den fruit; actual sin is Cain killing
Abel" Zone is good sin; the other is
bad sim" Original sin is sin without
murder, but actual sin is sin; meaning
swearing" Original sin is the things
we ought not to do Actual sin
means a want of obedience; but orig
inal sin is a work of Providence"

Treatment of Runions.

Bunions are serious and hard to treat.
About the only thing to do is to wear
seamless stockings and shoes with kid
or fine calf uppers. Avoid heating the
feet and change the shoes frequently.
Any sweet oil will heal the soreness of
a joint, and sometimes amounting it
with iodine will bring relief. When a
bunion gets troublesome the best plan
is to buy stick of sulphate of copper,
pare away the dead skin and cauterize
the spot. The operation is trif1e pain
full, but it is only momentary, while the
sense of relief that is sure to follow is
like the ''peace that passeth under
standing

SAVED HIS FINGER.
The Faithful Brahman Felt, How

ever, That He Had Lost Caste.
One day a Brahman accidentally
touched some unclean object with his
little finger. The Brahman thought that
now, his little finger having become un.
clean, any substance which it would
touch would be also rendered unclean
and thus make him an unclean man.
Seeing no other way to get<out of the
scrape he resolved to get the offending
member amputated. Forthwith he went
to carpenter and explained to him
that unless the finger was cut off he
(the Brahman) was unable to take food
The carpenter tried to dissuade the
devotee and urged that an application
of some drops of water from the sa-
cred river Gunga would make the fin
ger once more holy, but the Brahman
persisted. He said that the finger was
of no use to him any longer and that
he would not rest until it was severed
AS final recourse the carpenter re
solved to play his awkward customer a
trick. He told the Brahman to put his
finger on an anvil and to look to the
sky while the wound was inflicted
The Brahman did so. The carpenter
took up hatchet and gave the finger
smart blow with the back of it. This
ELECTED a cry of pain from the pa
tient, who at once put the finger in his
mouth to allay the agony. The carpen-
ter, laughing, explained to the Brah-
man that the blow had missed and the
little finger was still entire: and, worst
of all, the Brahman had defiled himself
by putting the finger into his mouth
The obliging OPERATOR moreover, offer
ed to perform the operation once more,
but the Brahman had had enough pain
for the nonce and declined with thanks.

FORKS AND FASHION.
A Young Girls Embarrassment and
Token of Apprecfaf9on

Token of Appreciation.
She had lived all her life in a coun-
Try village, daughter of the poorest
of poor country doctors, and when the
great surgeon who once had befriended
her father visited him in his illness
the pretty daughter was invited to a
dinner and reception at his house.
Aglow with excitement, the girl packed
her Sunday dress and took the train
for New York
When the guests were all seated at
dinner she hesitated at the shining ar
ray of silver beside her plate, then
picked up her meat fork and began to
eat her oysters. Glancing under her
eyelids at the guest nearest her, she
blushed crimson as she realized her
mistake.
Her hostess, perceiving her embar-
rassment, quickly drew attention to
herself by telling story, which was
drawn out to the length of the course
AT the end of the story, in illustrating
a point, she held up a fork, saying:
And the stem of this wonderful
flower was no longer than this fish
fork
The social novice was further relieved
at the meat course when a fork was
quietly dropped on the table by the
same hand that placed the plate before
her
When the evenings entertainment
was over as she approached her host
ess, the young girl, unobserved by any
one else, took from her corsage a beau
tiful rose. which she laid in the white
hand extended to say Good night

Teeth.

Small, chalk white teeth are sign of
"a weak constitution. Strong, normal
teeth are large and yellowish white.
Sometimes an enthusiastic novelist in
depicting the charms of his heroine
will give her two rows of pearls be-
tween her ruby lips. The truth of the
matter is nothing could be more ghast-
ly or unnatural or unbecoming than
teeth made OF pearls. 1t is only "store
teeth" that possess high polish.

having seen creature of any sort, in
quired of her teacher whether the rab-
