Why Birds Live Long.

Why do birds live so much longer
than mammals, which are often hun
dred times their size? Possibly. among
other things, because they have beaks
instead Of teeth. All carnivorous
beasts become weak and liable to star

break. Neither are the herbivorous
animals In much better case Old
horses would probably die of starva-

Too Hot for TenderfOOt

A traveller tells an amusing tale OF
how he visited a Japanese friend on
at home day and accepted the offer of
a bath on the lawn. He go in when
the water was tepid and enjoyed it
immensely up to ninety something,
Just es he was thinking of getting out
his friends wife and daughter put in
an appearance and began to wash rice
at a we'll near by. Now the regula-
ton bathing dress Of Japan is like q
footless stocking without a leg, or a
bunghole without a barrel around it,
and our traveller hadn't it with him at
the time. He endured another five
degrees and then, with death by boil.
ing staring him in the face, he was
forced out with an involuntary yell
that attracted much attention.
The fact is that in Japan everybody
bathes in puris naturalbus. 1t is their
way, and it is not till European has
lived among them for years that he or
she realizes that, after ALL there is
nothing very terrible about it.--Chi-

How the Waiter Lost a Tip.

where the colorcd walters give espe-
ciaily good service, but always expect
adequate remuneration for the same
from the guests. a waiter was espe-
cially officious the other day in serv-
ing man from whom he expected a
liberal tip. When the meal had been
served and he was standing off at one
side. eagerly looking for an opportu-
nifty to be of service, he said to the
guest:

The guest had by this time finished
his meal, and as he arose he said to

my brother that was here. and | guess
he paid you for the whole family. He

New Story of Forrest

Edwin Forrest, the tragedian, was
well acquainted with a German lion
tanner, Herr Driesbach, and one even
ing the two were sitting together in
a restaurant, conversing upon the
subject of fear OF course any one
would be willing to admit that man
who could go alone into a cage Of
wild beasts was not person who
would be likely to be frightened by
anything. but the tragedian insisted
that there were people in the more
peaceful walks of life who had as
little fear in their composition as any
lion-tamer.
AS a proof OF this. Mr.. Forrest as
serted that never in his life had he
known what it was to be afraid of
anything.
No doubt of the truth Of this state.
ment was expressed by Herr Dries
bach, and after some further CONVEX
sation he proposed that the tragedan
should accompany him to his home.
When they entered the house a gas
jet was burning low in the hall, and
having closed the front Coor. Herr
Driesbach put up his hand to turn
on more light; but, apparently by &C.
cident, he put it out, so that the two
men were left standing in absolute
darkness.
Enchanting at his stupidity, the
master of the house declared that he
had no matches about him. and asked
Mr. Forrest if he could give him one
But the tragedian never carried
matches, as his companion probably
knew, and Driesbach asked him to
wait where he was for few moments
while he made his way to the back
Of the house to procure some.

From time immemorial the bath tub
has been an honorable institution in
Japan. Instead Of cold dip in the
morning, the Japs take their baths
hot in the afternoon, at about O.
clock, and, beginning at 100 degrees,
the tendency is to raise the tempera-
ture as one becomes acclimatized, so
to speak. One traveller tells of the
Kawarayu bathers, who stay in the
tub for several weeks at time with
stone in their laps to keep their bodies
from floating while they are asleep.
The usual thing is to have the tub
on the lawn with a charcoal fire be-
meath it, so that one can get into the
water at 80 degrees and sit in it until
it reaches 100 degrees. AT this point
griffin" which is to say a newchum,
greenhorn, or a tenderfoot, usually
has to get out, for it becomes literally
too hot for him. But, after year or
two of practice, he can manage 115 or
120 degrees. The Japs themselves
can enjoy bath even at 12S degrees.

fectly still, for IL he attempted to
move he might stumble over some
thing; and while thus quietly waiting
for his host to appear with match.
he heard curious shifting at different
points around him, and then some
thing cold, like the nose of dog,
touched him on one hand, after which
he was brushed by what seemed TO be
n long and heavy mass of hair. On
the bare floor he heard the muffied
taps of heavy paws.
He perceived the odor of the breath
Of beasts. He knew that he was
standing there In the dark surround
ed by lions, moving freely about him,
and smiling and smelling at him to
find out whether they knew him or
not.
The blood ran cold in the veins OF
the tragedian. but he did not move,
he did not call out. AS If he had been
statue of a man he remained
motionless, feeling that if he showed
the slightest sign of fear the beasts
would be upon him.
Presently-it seemed many, many
minutes TO Forrest-Driesbach APP
peared with a match. The gas was
lighted. and the pale tragedan saw
near him three or four large perform
ing lions who had been quietly liber-
ated from an adjoining room.
You are brave mani" exclaimed
the lion-tamer. You have proved
you have no fear"
The reply of Forrest cannot be set
down here, but he speedily left that
house and never entered it again. The
friendship between the two men was
at an end. Such an unwarrantable
test of courage could not be forgot
