why They kne,t.

Charles II. Of England was noted
for his good naturey and, although
he wae sometimes called seUnthink-
ing Charles" yet his heedlessness
was more an apparent than q real
characteristic. The extravaganza OF
his reign went hand in hand with
his poverty, and on some occasions
even the royal table was but poorly,
served.
There is story told of Gram
mont, who one day dined in state
'gith the king.
Charles bade the count to notice
that he was served upon the knee,
a mark of respect to guests Of the
king not common at other courts.
81 thank your majesty for the ex-
planation," answered Grammont. sT
thought they were begging pardon
for giving you SO bad dinner"

SIt is a very curious thing that
all over the world there exists the
same superstition in regard to the
apparently trivial matter Of sneez-
ing. In-near.y every language un-
der tGSSS sun there is some equivalent
of the HGod bless your with which
our oldest inhabitants in the coun-i
try still salute the person who
sneezes. To this salutation in
France is added sometimes the
phrase, ssand preserve you from the
fate of Tycho Brahe,a who is be-
ieyed to have got rid Of death
Of cold" by single sneeze, which
killed him. In England q regular
formula is used-"Once for wish,
twice for a kiss, three times for o
letter and four times for disap-
pointment."
In Italy the salutation is simply
"Felicita!''' or "May you be fortu-
nate!s In India it is customary
when one sneezes to say, "Afay you
livew and the reply runs, 'Long
life to youw Should Hindoo
chance TO sneeze while he.i is going
through his peculiar ablution psac-
tices in the Ganges she will make q
kind of sign over his face, stop in
his ritual and begin all over again.
In ancient times the Romans,
holding the idee that sneezing be-
tween noon and midnight was q
good omen, believed that, between
midnight and noon it was most un-
lucky, and if they should chance to
sneeze while getting up in the morn
ing they would ct once get into bed
again.
The Germans say, "Good healthl"
because they maintain, and not
without reason, that sneezing is q
warning Of approaching catarrh
and also marks the moment when q
charm, wish or a suggestion may
uriye it away. The Persians go fur
ther. in this idea: They say what
practically amounts to TsThank
Godp because they consider that
the sneeze has actually driven away
some evil spirit that has attempted
to get into mans body to feed
upon his sacred fires.
The people Of the Amazulu go
even further than this into super
stition and arrive at the stage of
actual devil worship. No doubt
they would style it "angel worship"
but the things to which these so
called angels are supposed to lend
themselves put that high sounding
name quite out of the question.
Their unciyilized familiar spirits
are said to give some sign when
they are near and able to hear their
yotaries.

1t is remarkable how mach one
can tell of creed or religion by
the appearance, extsriorl and inte-
rior, of its places Of worship. The
Roman Catholic church in every
part of the world is designated by
the sign of the cross. The mission
aries Of this faith have always been
most energetic in their work at the
outposts Of civilization, and, 60
where you will, you find their little
missions fourishing. Tie most in
teresting, though probably the
smallest, Of their outposts is on the
northern shores of. Iceland. Most
of the people Of Iceland belong 70
the Lutheran church, and for many
years it Ras the only denomination
represented nnget he island.
During the visit Of d wealthy Zee
lander and his wife to the continent
Of Europe ther became converted to
the Catholic faith, and upon their
return home erected the present
church on the northern shore. It
is situated on..a spot where the
winds have full sweep from the
northern seas, and for fear the lit
tie church might be borne away by
some Of the mighty blasts Of winter
it is made fast to posts driven deep
in the earth by q great chain, one
OF the heaviest ever constructed.
On 9 cold night in January it is a
weird experience to sit in this
church and try I listen to sermon
or song while outside old Boreas is
bowling and his blasts cause the
tiny shrine to sway like ship at
sea. But it is firmly anchored, and
the danger is more imaginary than
real.

EQUINE ALOUsY.
How q Trainer Was led 20 Develop q
Pair OF Boxing Horsea, 81

Pair OF Boxing Horsea. s
a. 3. Powell, the veteran trainer;
OF horses, who after two patient
years actually taught two horses to-
stand up on their hind legs and box
with the gloves on, declares that
not only are horses jealous, but
that it was the outcome Of an. in-
cident arising from the feelings
which the green eyed monster is re-
puted to inspire which led him to
believe he had found O pair Of box
ing horses.
: One Of the horses was thor
oughbred Arab, known as Cigarette,
and the other dun horse Of Turk
ish breed called Charley, and writ
er in the Windsor Magazine thus
describes the incident:
I'm the earlier days Of Chsrlcy's
connection with circus life he was
presented with very handsome
saddle for use in certain act. Now,
it happened on one occasion that it
was found necessary to remove this
saddle from the buck Of the Turk
ish bred animal and place it upon
the Jet black Cigarette.
"Later on in the evening O tre-
mendous row was heard in the
neighborhood Of the stalls where
the two animals had been stabbed
side by side. Some Of the attend
ants ran to see what was up. They
found that Cigarette Snd Charley
had broken loose and were practi-
cally ein grips kicking, plunging
and stamping upon each other.
ssWhen Mr.. Powell arrived on the
scene the two animals were stand
ing on their hind legs in the regu-
lar pugiiistic attitude and endeav-
oring 10 exchange terrific blows on
head md body. They were quickly
separated, but the astute trainer
had taken his cue, and next day he
began to give the horses their first
real lessons in boxing London
Express.

Above the Atmosphere.

If it were possible to rise above
the atmosphere which surrounds
the earth the sun would look like
q sharply defined ha, ! Of FIRE, while
everything else would be wrapped
in total darkness. There could be
no. diffusion of light without an at
mosphere or some similar medium
for the SUMS rays to act upon. But,
on the contrary, if the earth's at
mosphere extended to height Of
700 miles the SUMS heat and rays
could never penetrate it, and we
would freeze to death while wrap
ped in darkness blacker than the
blackest midnight.

The cause Of persons whose nerves

tie or rinking cup althoag it is
notsso very long ago that The sjeath-
Ter bottle and horn dripking cup
were extant. Whether this change
could possibly hare introduced any
prejudice to the common health is
AN interesting matter for specula-
ton. It is not true, though it is COM
monly supposed to ks SO, that glass
: is unattached ortscnmp pletely nndis-
solved by water end many other
fluids I'M household ,ise. On the
'contrarY the indelible marks which
often appear On a water bottle arise
from the action of the water upon
The glass. Pure distilled water,
showing neither an acid nor en- al
ka1ine reaction, which has been al
lowed to reT, ain in o closed glass
bottle for seme time will gradually
develop an alkaline reaction owing
to the base Of the mixed silicaye Of
the glass dissolvingS in the water.
At the same time q deposit Of silica
viii generally be found at tie bot
tom. This obviously shows dis;
sociation Of constituents and the
glass yields up its silica and its al
kali to water. ss s.. s.
With acid fluids The same action
may be observed, and it is conceiT-
able that with acid wines kept long
IN bottles some considerable action
upon the glass may occur. Weak
acid solutions cease to be acid after
being kept in glass bottles for some
time owing to the ieutralization OF
the acids by the alkali of the glass,
and at the same time q hocculent
and generally iridescent deposit is
found In the bottle consisting Of
silica. This deposit is constant
source of trouble to druggists.
Though the glass dissolying power.
of most fluids in domestic use must
be very small, yet, considering that
these fluids are continually in con-

doubt that traces Of the const;tu-
ents Of glass are, ingested. It has.
even been suggested that the prac-
tically universal use Of glass in this
way in the place Of the old drink
ing vessels. Of wood or horn or of
the glass bottle for the leather or
skin vessel has contributed means
of rendering the yermiform appen-
dix easily liable to an inflammatory
process BY the irritation set up by
siliceous particles. This ingenious
theory Of the increased prevalence
