The beaver is armed with two long
chisellike teeth in each jaw. These
teeth are exceedingly powerful and are

into nearly a semicircle and measures
five inches along Its outer curve. Only
one inch of this length projects from
the skull. The corresponding Il from
the upper jaw is bent into more than u

it's outer face four inches, of which
less than an inch protrudes from it's
bone casing. In width each tooth Is
fve-eighths of an inch. Examination
of one of them reveals the secret of
how a beaver can perform such feats
as chopping down a birch tree sixteen

The Ancient Hour.

The early Egyptians divided the day
and night each into twelve hours, u Gus
tom adopted by the Jews or the Greeks
probably from the Babylonians. The
day is said to have first been divided
into hours from b. G. 233, when u sun
dial was erected in the temple of Quiri-
nus at Rome. Previous to the invention
of water clocks, B.. G. 1853, the time was
called at Rome by public criers. In
early England one expedient Of meas
uring time was by wax candles, three
inches burning ar hour. The first per-
feet mechanical clock was not made
until about A. D. 1850. Day began at
sunrise among most of the northern ma
lions, at sunset among the Athenians
and Jews, at midnight among the Ro-
mans, as with us.

mans book on Russia throws some in.
teresting light on what 1t incidentally
costs to visit St. Petersburg. 70 begin
with, he tells us every house and hotel
there contains Il swarm of servants,
and each one expects a tip. The mar
who takes your coat and hat Mt a pri'
vate house thinks 10 cents little enough,
and If you give n dollar or two to the
attendant who performs the same mod
est service at an official residence he is
only satisfied. The tips of a wealthy
Russian to a waiter ut a good restau'
rant are something enormous. A de
cent room in a first class hotel costs
about 81 a day. and a closed carriage tt

away, costs SIS. A few sheets of note

Hiud0o Women.

Hindoo women are very beautiful,
and, like most other women, they like
to set off their charms by the wearing
Of jewels. Those Of the rich are often
exceedingly valuable, and any amount
Of them are worn. A Hindoo lady
wears a large nose ring, a number of
rings in her ears, bangles galore on her
wrists and arms, anklets of silver or
gold and a ring or every toe. These or
naments are very becoming to her dark
beauty, and naturally they are a great
source of pleasure, but unfortunately
one which, together with the wearing
Of colors, Is denied to widows. whose
lot is a particularly hard one.
Anyhow a Hindoo woman has not a
particularly cheerful life, for as she
must never look upon the face of any
man but her husband it Is spent entire
~ in her heme. which, Eel If she be
rich, is nj; in the least pretty. The
rooms are small and dingy, have bare
walls, very little furniture. and their
only outlook is upon the interior court
yard, which is not made bright and
pretty, but is usually without a vestige
Of tree or flower.

Loves Final Are.


''The last age of love in a mans life
is the dotage," says Dorothy Dix in
Ainslee's. "This is peculiar to wealthy
old men, and its most pronounced
symptom is a mania for presenting
diamonds and opening bottles for
chorus girls, who call him papa. At
other times in a mans life he has some
slight misgivings about love being al
ways conducted on a reciprocal basis,
but when he reaches this age he throws
fears to the winds. He knows he ia
loved for himself alone. The "a at
twenty-five doubts his power to win a
woman's heart. The man of seventy
five Is cocksure that he Is a charmer
nothing feminine can resist. He knows
the ratio of his destinations has in
creased with his advancing years, and
he quarrels with his family, who are
cruel enough to suggest that the debu'
tante he leads to the altar may have 8
weather eye On his will.
"Tlle last age of love is the most dan
gerous Of them all and is generally IA
tai. In fact, love is like the measles
it is safest and goes easiest with a maj
when he has it early in life."

swinburne,. Estimate of King Lear

swinburne's Estimate of King Lear.
"If nothing were left Of Shakespeare
but the single tragedy Of king Lear"
wrote Algernon Charles Swinburne in
Harper's, ut would still be as plain as
it is now that he was the greatest man
that ever lived. AS a poet the author Of
this play can only be compared with
Eschylus. The Hebrew prophets and
the creator of Job r sometimes as
sublime in Imagination and In passion,
but always quite incomparably inferior
in imaginative intelligence.
"That Shakespeare's judgment was
as great and almost as wonderful as
his genius has been a commonplace OF
criticism ever since the days Of Cole
ridge, questionable only by such dirty
and dwarfish creatures of simian intel.
lect and facetious idiocy as mistake 1t
for a sign Of wit instead Of dullness
and of distinction instead of degreda'
ton to deny the sun in heaven and at

Talking Through the Body.

INC BODY.
To talk through a human body, or a
row of human bodies, for the matter Of
that, is n of the weirdest of the cleo
trician's feats. If a telephone wire be
severed and the two ends be held by u
person, one in each hand, but far
apart, it is quite possible for two indi-
viduals to carry on a conversation
through the body of the medium as
readily and as distinctly az If the line

Bad Spelling.

One of the causes to which the prev
alence of bad spelling among the rising
generation is attributed is the fact that
the modern Roman method of pro-
nouncing Latin gives no direct indica-
ton of the pronunciation of the Eng
lish derivatives and so no cue to their
spelling, as the English sound of Latin
words did when it was used.
