Il is proved that when air is heated IL
rises. and also that il expands, and per-
haps some of us are now wondering
why il should rise This Is a rather
hard subject bat perhaps we may be
able to explain it. In the first place
air presses on the earth everywhere
with a certain pressure This is be-
cause of the attraction of gravity, which
pulls upon or gives weight to every
form of matter, whether solid, liquid or
gaseous. Now, air is matter in gas
cous form. 1t has very little weight,
but still il has some. Close to the sur
face of the earth air presses heaviest
because it is pressed down, not only by
its own weight, but also by the weight
of the air above. and the air presses in
all directions as well as downward, be-
cause it is so easily moved and can be
pushed or made to flow from one point
to another very much like water. AS
we go up from the surface of the earth
the air presses less and less, because
there is less air above 1t. If you think
this out, you will see that any body
surrounded by air, like box held in
the hand, for instance, will be more
pressed upon on its lower side or bot
tom than on its top.-Philadelphia

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

From twenty-year-old mulberry
tree 21S pounds of leaves have been
picked in Il year,
String beans may be obtained during
the entire summer by planting once a
month for successive supplies.
Some trees are much more unfavor-
able to the growth of plants beneath
them than are others. The worst are
the yew and the ash.
Whenever water is given to pot
plants enough should be used thor
oughly to wet the soil around the roots
Mere sprinkling of the surface does lit
tie good
The next time you have bouquet of
flowers to keep add very little cam
phor to the water in the vase and see
how much longer its freshness will be
retained.
One of the most satisfactory plants
for house culture is the yellow OXalis
1t will blossom freely if given sun and
water, and its bronze brown foliage
sets off its pretty yellow bloom rarely.

STREET CRIES IN CAIRO.
Sounds and Voices That Travellers
Hear In the Egyptian City.

Take q chair outside a busy cafe
near the market place and tram center
and watch street life. There are no
hungry men, no starving, pinched child
faces, no finger worn mothers, for this
is a land of plenty, and the peoples
wants are few and simple. Thus sun
shine and laughter spray welcome
fragrance over the novelty and ro-
nance of the gay city's streets. Here

BAROSMA,
THE GREAT KIDNEY AND
LIVER CURE

Is perfectly harmless in its effects and
pleasant to take. Thompson's Barosma
cures by gently stimulating the liver and
kidneys to excrete from the system all
particles of matter that are poisonous,
rot only to them, but also to the stomach,
heart, blood and other organs of the
body. Barosma cures are permanent.
When the liver is torpid or inactive the
whole system must suffer undergoing a
process of slow poisoning the stomach
is filled with carbonic acid gas, inhaming
the mucous membrane or coating Of the
stomach, causing heartburn, palpitation,
indigestion, bitter taste on rising, dull
heavy sluggish feeling desire to sleep,
fullness and y-headedness. Thomp
sons Barosma is an excellent stomach
tonic, assimilating with the food
neutralizing the acids and carrying the
bile from the liver. If the bowels are
costive or in liver trouble, Thompson's
Dandelion and Mandrake Pills should he
used with the Barosma. They are purely
vegetable, and will not gripe.

Peppermint For sIeepIessness.

A physician declares that he finds
peppermint water an efficient remedy
for sleeplessness. This is Il very sim.

from the organs of professional opin.

is added that mixture of spirits OF
chloroform and peppermint water Civ

nia will produce sleep, but perhaps in
the case of the admiXture of chloro
form water may claim II decided share
in relieving the trouble. 1t is at least
easy to try peppermint water, and tho
theory of its action is believed to bt
founded on its effect in withdrawing
blood from the brain by attracting {
fuller flow to the stomach.

In the days when the late archbishop
of Canterbury, Dr. Frederick Temple,
was master of Rugby he sentenced to
expulsion boy who was innocent Of
the offense charged against him, but
who could not clear himself without
exposing the real offender. The. lad
made up his mind to bear the punish
ment and wrote to his father saying
that he was sure his family would rath-
er have him expelled than know him to
be sneak.
The father promptly sent the letter to
Dr. Temple, calling attention TO a post
script in which IT, boy said he wished
the doctor could understand the matter
and added, Temple is beast, but he
is n just beast"
1t is on record that Temple did under
stand, and the boy was not expelled.
DR.. Temple, grim old man that he was,
was always proud of the title "a just
beast"

4 Choking Dog.

Dogs frequently choke. A bone,
nail or piece of tin gets in the
throat, and there is great danger Of
death before the arrival of the surgeon.
Many of them do die, but there is no
reason for this, for il is easy, without
the slightest danger of getting bitten,
to put the hand in the mouth of dog
and to draw out or push down the OBJ
struction that is choking it. A bandage
IA handkerchief or towel will do-is
passed between the teeth and over the
upper jaw, and in similar way anoth-
er bandage is passed between the teeth
and over the under jaw. One person,
holding the ends of these two band
ages, keeps the dogs mouth wide open.
A second person can then with perfect
ease and safety put his fingers down
the animals throat and relieve it.

Natural affection of seals in their wild
state is we'll shown in the following an
ecdote: 4 gentleman living in Oregon,

very simple manner Il young seal. II

by a receding tide and left high and
uncomfortably dry as well. 1t had not
strength to waddle into the water and
no one to teach it the tricks of its tribe
The gentleman kept the little glossy
creature for several days and then IN
pity turned it into its native element
1t came to the wharf every night and
whimpered so that he was obliged tC
take it out again and keep it in Il small
tank, the seal giving every demonstra
ton of affection, after the manner of

Water Birds.

Water birds, singular as 1t seems, are
the only ones whose skins never by any
chance get touched by water. So long
as they are alive and long after they
are dead they float with an air cham
Der all round their bodies, cunningly
contrived of waterproof feathers close
ly overlapping each other. Thus, in q
sense, water birds may be distinguish
ed from all others by the fact that they
never wash, though we can hardly
blame them for that, because if water
could penetrate between their feathers
the poor things would never be dry.

lection. The goat of earth may be de-

is or was Il mighty and mysterious
power. 1t may be long way from
the astrological ard astronomical goat
to the comic goat" of modern initia'
tions, but that is not the goats fault.

The tea used in the immediate house
hold of the ruler of China is treated
with the utmost care. 1t is raised in
a garden surrounded by wall so that
neither man nor beast can get any
where near the plants. At the time of
the harvest those collecting these
leaves must abstain from eating fish,
that their breath may not spoil the aro-
ma of the tea; they must bathe three
times a day, and, in addition, must
wear gloves while picking the tea for
the Chinese court.
