How savages Walk.

Savages always walk with their toes
turned in for two reasons. In the first
place the foot naturally falls in that
position when it has never been con-
fined by boots or the ankles distorted
by high heels. In the long stride of the
savage the leg swings freely like a
pendulum round the center of gravity,
which is somewhere between it and
the other leg. In the swing the abduc-
tor muscles Of the inside of the thigh
bring the sole Of the foot under the
center of gravity, and in doing SO
slightly rotate the foot toward the in
ner line, turning the toe in. Conven-
fence is also on the side of the natural
position Of the foot in the case Of the
savage, for he has to do much walking
through long grass and underground in
forests.
A moments reflection will show how
very much his progress would be i'm
peded if he turned his toes out to catch
these obstacles instead Of brushing
them aside and outward as he now
does. Lastly, the savage uses his foot
much more as help to his hands than
we do, and it is obvious that in doing
this he must turn his toes in.

DISCUSSES OF NATURE.
The Quality OF Defense IL Found I
Every Animal.

The Quality Of Defense IL Found r.
Every Animal
By a decree Of nature one-half the
world fourishes at the expense of tie
other half. The sparrow glasses the
butterfly, but the hawk chases TIE
sparrow. For the problem of life is
twOfold. 1t is not enough plerely to
eat. It is necessary to avoid icing eat
en-. Yet nature detests killing for kill
ing's sake. Massacre forms no part OF
her great plan. So We see that every
creature is provided with some more
or less effective quality Of defense by
means Of which the attacks Of its nat
ural enemies are rendered less frequent
or less deadly
Thus the antelope by means of its
superior speed at times escapes from
the lion. The armadillo, rolled in it's
wondrous coat of. mail, lies secure
among score Of hungry, gnawing
foes, while the white hare, scarcely
distinguishable from the STOW on
which it crouches, Is otter oy rlooked
by his foe, the fox. But of III creatures
none has received more ample protec-
ton than the insects. Some Of them
possess stings, others bite, and few
puff out clouds of poisonous vapor to
stupefy or blind their pursuers. Again,
there are insects clothed in impenetra-
BILE armor, insects covered with sharp
spines and prickles and others whose
means Of defense consist in nothing
but likeness to the objects which sur
round them.-Royal Magazine.

The Right Way to Boil Water.

.'To boil water would seem to be a
very simple thing writes some one in
the Boston Cooking School Magazine,
''and yet the late Charles Delmonico
used to say that very few people know
how to do it. The secret is he said,
in putting good fresh water into ket-
tie already quite warm, setting the wa
ter to boiling quickly and then taking
it right off for use in tea, coffee or 9TH
er drinks before it is spoiled. To let it
steam and simmer and evaporate until
the good water is in the atmosphere
and only the lime and iron and dregs
left in the kettle is what makes great
many people sick, and it is worse than
no water at ALL For water boiled like
this and favored with few drops Of
lemon juice Mr.. Delmonico used to
charge as much as for his best liquors,
and he often recommended it to his
customers and friends who complained
Of loss Of appetite. It is worth trying"

Copenhagen.

The pending visit of Emperor Will
lam of Germany to the Danish court
has caused no end Of apprehension
and gossip in Denmark. 1t appears
that the emperor is desirous of effect
ing reconciliation with the Duke of
Cumberland (who was also to have
been present. and who has sworn to
his father, when the old duke was
on his deathbed, that he would never
renounce his right to the kingdom of
Hanover, and in turn that he would
exact similar oath from his eldest
son, who should also pledge himself to
require his eldest son to pass the oath
down the line of the Cumberland pro,
geny. King Christian, having been in
formed of the emperor's desire to meet
the duke on neutral ground, ap,
preached the latter on the subject in a
personal interview. The duke Of
Cumberland became highly indignant
and point blank refused to have any
thing to do with the emperor. It is
believed that one of the objects Of the
kaiser's approaching visit to the court
of Denmark is to arrange for set
ting the seal to the friendly relations
between Germany and Denmark by
arrangement for the engagement of his
own eldest son to Princess Thyra, the
young and beautiful daughter Of
Crown Prince Friedrich of Denmark.
The duke Of Cumberland, who is mar
ried to King Christians daughter,
Princess Thyra Amelia, is the claim
ant Of the kingdom of Hanover,
taken from his father by the first
emperor William, who was also guilty
Of breach Of faith in appropriating
and deyoting to his own personal use
the capital Of the Guelph fund, or
private fortune Of the Cumberland
family.
+ Former minister Of War, Major Gen
eral Christian f. Tuxen died at bis
home in Copenhagen March 8, aged
66 years. At the time Of his death
General Tuxen was chief of the First
Staelland brigade.
It is rumored that the engagement
Of Princess Thyra and Duke Chlodvig
of Phillippsthal-B Bathfield will soon be
announced. The latter is an ordnance
officer in the grenadier army at Pots
dam.

His favorite study was ancient Scan

exhaustive historical treatise on the
Norsemen's INVASION of Normandie as
well as the Norsemen's discovery of
America so years before the time of

Eyer at pinerent Ages.

The Stockholm museum possesses an
interesting collection Of eyes taken
from human beings at different ages,
which are cut across in such way as
to exhibit plainly the internal and the
external eye. 1t is easy to observe that
the eye Of a young child is as trans.
parent as water; that of the youth a
little less so; in the man Of thirty the
eye begins to be slightly opaque, in the
man Of fifty or sixty it is decidedly
opaque, and in the man Of seventy or
eighty it is dull and lusterless. This
gradual development Of opacity. is due
to the increase Of fibrous tissue and de-
posit Of waste matter in the eye.

Babylonian Creation Legends.

The story Of the creation. as told on the
clay tablets of ancient Babylon, is now for
the, first time put at the disposal of modern
scholars.
Portions of it. as told in cuneiform text,
were deciphered by Rawlinson and the late
George Smith. but those Assyriologists had
only twenty to have survived decapitation.
as he subsequently took part in the councils
of the gods.
Many parallels between these legends and
the Hebrew story of the creation can be de-
tected by scholars. The idea that seven DAVIS
were devoted to the work may rave long
antedated Abraham's time.
The oldest tablets yet discovered are not
originals, but copies. These date back only
e6S-626 B C. A reviewer in Mature" ex-
presses the opinion that the composition is
many thousands of years old. Whether it
originated with the Akkadians or some
other non-Semitic people cannot be said
definitely at present. but 1t is very probable
that the Semitic Babylonians were only the
borrowers and not the inventors Of this re-
