A Chinese Superstition.

Religious superstition asserts itself
in Chinese architecture, and the uni
versal sacredness of the numerals
three and nine is shown in the ar
rangement of temple doors. There is
a triple gateway to each of the halls
of the Imperial palace and the same
order prevails at the Ming tombs, and
the sacred person of the emperor
when he was in his Pekin home could
only be approached, even by the high
est officials. after three times three
prostratlons. The temple of Heaven
has triple roof triple marble stair

stranne Sounds at Sea.


1t is well-esUablished fact that The
widespread sails of ship, when rem
dered concave by a gentle breeze, are
excellent conductors of sound. The
celebrated Doctor Arnott relates the
following circumstance as practical
proof of this assertion:
ship was once sailing along the
coast of Brazil, far out of sight of land.
Suddenly several of the crew, while
walking along the deck noticed that
when passing and repassing particu.

distinctness the sound of bells chin

quickly communicated the discovery
to their mates, but none of them was
able to solve the enigma as to the
origin of these seemingly mysterious
sounds.
Several months afterward, upon re-

ers determined to satisfy their curl
osity. Accordingly they mentioned the
circumstance to their friends, and
were informed that at the time when
the sounds were heard the bells in the.
cathedral at San Salvador, on the.
coast, had been ringing to celebrate
feast held in honor of one of the.

had travelled distance of upward of
one hundred miles over the water, and
had been brought to focus by the
sails at the particular locality in
which the sweet sounds were first
heard.

Use of Tobacco 100 Years Ago.
At first sight the recent agitatIn
for legislation to prevent the sale of
tobacco to boys seems to show a state
of affairs previously unknown. That
such is not the case. however, is
shown by story of the closing years
of the seventeenth century as related
by De Rochefort, the French traveller
During his visit to Worcester Eng
land, he records, he was asked by his
guide it-it was thu caton in EraEse.
as in England, tbaD when children went
to school they Carried in their satchel
with their books their pipes and tobac-
co, and that, at a stated hour, the
master smoked with them, teaching
them how to hold their pipes and
draw in the tobacco" There is ample
confederation that this is no mere idle
tale
What may be called the golden age
of smoking was reached in the reign
OF Queen Anne. For over century
the use of tobacco had gradually but
steadily increased in popularity
amongst the people of England From
the end of Queen Annes reign until
the last thirty years or so the prac-
tice of snufing the herb usurped the
place of the pipe among the cultured,
though smoking never lost its hold
upon the working classes.

About Rats.

DR.. Danysz of the Pasteur institute
in Paris finds that rats can contract
a special disease to which other an
imals are not exposed He has sue
ceeded in obtaining the bacillus of
the disease. 1t is necessary only to
soak bread or grain in a bouillon of
the microbe culture and allow the rat
to eat it, when they contract the NAL
ady and usually die within five to
twelve days. A number of expert.
ments have already been made with
the new method, especially in the sew
ers of Paris, which are full of rats.
and very good results have been OBJ
tanned. II was proved during the ex.
periments that the young rats are the
most sensitive to the action of the
microbe. The new rat-eXterminating
culture is coming into practical use
in Paris and especially at the Bourse

evolution of the modern steel skate
from its rude bone ancestor Some

First Beefsteak.

First Beefsteak.
Beefsteak, like most other good
things, was discovered entirely by
accident says a writer in the Chicago
Tribune. It appears that Luclus Pla-
Gus, Roman of rank, was ordered by
the Emperor Trajan for some offense
TO act as one of the mental sacrifcers
60 Jupiter; he resisted, but was at
length dragged to the altar. There
the fragments of the victim were laid
upon the fire and the unfortunate SEN
ator was forcibly compelled to turn
them. In the process of roasting one
of the slices fell off the Goals and
was caught by Placu3 in its fall. II
burned his fingers and he instinctively
thrust them into his mouth. In that
moment he had made the grand dis
covery that the taste of slice, thus
carbonadoed, was infinitely beyond
all the sodden cookery of Rome A
new expedient to save his dignity was
suggested at the same time, and he
at once evinced his obedience to the
Emperor by seeming TO go through
the sacrifices with due regularity and
his scorn of the employment by turn
ing the whole ceremony into a matter
of appetite. He swallowed every tee.
deluded Trajan. defrauded Jupiter and
invented the beefsteakl A discovery
of this magnitude could not long be
concealed; the sacrifice began to dis
appear with a rapidity and satisfac-
ton TO the parties too extraordinary
to be noticed. The priests of Jupiter
adopted the practice with delight, and
the king of Olympus must have been
soon starved II he depended on any
share of the good things of Rome.

When we see some places for the
