The only relaxation Kant, the cele-
brated German philosopher, allowed
himself was walk, which he invaria-
bly, took during his life at Konigsberg
at about the same hour every afternoon.
His usual stroll was along the banks Of
the Pregel toward the Friedrich's fort,
and in these walks he was always a
careful observer Of the phenomena Of
nature. He told his friends one day
how, as he passed certain building in
his daily walk, he had noticed several
young swallows lying dead upon the
ground.
On looking up he discovered, as he
fancied, that the old birds were actual
ly throwing their young ones out Of the
nests. 1t was a season remarkable for
the scarcity of insects, and the birds
were apparently sacrificing some OF
their progeny to save the rest. "At
this" added Kant, my intellect was
hushed. The only thing to do here was
to fall down and worship. Chambers

script of "Dantel DerOnda."
George Eliot was conspicuous as a
person who was kindly and sympathet-
ic in a high degree. She was "ever
ready to be amused and interested in
all that concerned her friends" She
had also a keen sense of humor and
sometimes made her friends laugh as
well as laughed with them. She was
solicitous about her manuscripts and
was afraid she should lose them. Black

would not have it intrusted to the mail,
and Mr.. Blackwood said he would send
it by his footman the next day.
"Oh, DON'T" the author said. "He
might stop at public house and forget
ity'
Mr.. Blackwood explained that this
footman was perfectly sober man Of
high character and went on to praise
the mans virtues, but this did not reas-
sure her at all. IF he is the sort Of
chivalrous Bayard that you describe"
she said, che is just the kind that would
stop and help at fire."
This was a contingency that Mr..
Blackwood could not bear to consider.
He promised that some member of his
family would bring the manuscript, and
next day, in fact, Mr.. Blackwood drove
over with it.

A group of railroad men in New Or

his experiences said: ACROSS bayous

Father" said Betty, "please don't
hurry home. 1t is not bit late yet nor
dark, and want to see Flossy and
Glover coming up from the meadow.
This is such comfortable stile. Do
lean ON it."
Betty's father looked out across the
meadow and the brook into the shining
silver sky and then down at his little
girl
1T is delightful stile, Betty, and
very tempting, but somehow have
never liked looking over at the Red
House since the widow came there"
Father, I thought the Red House
was empty?'
"Did you, dear? No. The widow
lives there alone now. At least she has
her children to comfort her, but they
are very young, and she is sad, Betty"
How many children has she, IA

one met with a violent death just after

her. l did not like to speak to her

Eyes, dear, but 1t must be the other
way round. They must have tea with
you, for they are very poor, and don't
think my hungry daughters would APP
preciate their teas. Their father worked
hard and was very provident, and Of
ten and often l have watched him go
ing home after nightfall laden with
food for his wife and little ones. But
now it is so different! The little widow

self even the necessaries of life, but 1t

Repniring a Grown.

What curious old records one comes

Here is one which rather calls to mind
certain fairy tales beginning "Once

extraordinary proceedings quite as if
they were the most natural and COM

How LightninR Kills.

The cause of death by lightning is
the sudden absorption Of the electric
current. When thundercloud which
is highly charged with positive cleo
tricity hangs over any certain place.
the earth beneath it becomes abnor-
mally charged with the negative cleo
trio current, and man, animal or 9TH
err object standing or lying directly be-
meath also partakes Of the last mem
toned influence. If, while the man,
animal or other object is in this condi-
ton, a discharge takes place from the
cloud above, the restoration Of the
equilibrium will be sudden and violent,
or, in language that we can all under
stand. the negative current from the
earth will rush up to join the positive
cloud current, and in passing through
the object which separates the two
currents, If it be an animate thing,
will do SO with such force as to almost
invariably produce instant death.
According to the above, which seems
tenable hypothesis, to say the least,
person is really "struck" by the
ground current and not by the forked
fury from above at all.

The first accurate description Of the
nature and ravages Of smallpox is that
of Rhases. an Arabian physician, who
flourished in the tenth century and
was the author of books on medicine
and alchemy.
This terrible scourge was also de-
scribed In most Of the ancient Chinese
and Indian books. In China it was
known as the 'bean disease and
traced back to the times Of the Em-
peror Kwang wa who Feigned A. d.
25-28.
The earliest Chinese treatise on
smallpox was published in 1923, and
from this it appears that incubation
has been known and practiced In the
far east since the Sung dynasty, A. ID.
060-1127. Chinese experts hold that
the poison Is communicated by the

The highest development Of the dec
orative instinct in animals is found in
the gardener bird (amblyornis). This
plain looking native Of New Guinea
builds it's nest on the ground, spreads
moss before it and over this green car
pet scatters bright berries, flowers and
insects. AS the flowers wither they
are replaced by fresh ones The whole
establishment serves only as sort Of
pleasure resort.
