A Clever Fish.

The salmon seems to be gifted with
much intelligence, or "hercditary fore.
eight" as it is occasionally called,
which is more particularly acute when
danger signals are abroad, says Will
liam G. Harris in Field and Stream.
They have been known, when congre-
gated in the upper pools. to become
frightened by poachers approaching
them with net or spear and to imme-
diately dash down stream to a distance
Of thirty miles in one night, not stop
ping until they had reached pools so
deep that they could not be taken with
the appliances Of the poacher. They
seemed to know that If they went high
er up the stream their doom was sealed.
When coming from the sea in schools
and on entering the estuary they have
been seen with an old leader ut the
head of the school. the rest forming q
triangle about two and a half feet be-
low the surface of the water, and on
calm days, guided by the old patriarch,
they would swim around the fisher
mems nets. never approaching them
nearer than ten or twelve yards.

A Wife. stratagen,.

A London journal tells an admirable
story of beauteous Kesa, who loved
her husband, but who was herself
sought by her wicked and powerful
cousin, Motto. Knowing that Motto
would take her husbands life unless
circumvented by guile, she laid terri
BILE plot. Summoning Motto, she told
him that OH a certain night her hus-
band would be sleeping in certain
room and that she intended to unloosen
his hair so that under no circumstances
could he be mistaken for another man.
On the night in question Motto entered
the room, severed the sleeper's head
with his sword and, holding it up to the
moon by the hair-beheld the face Of
Kesa herself.

Standing an Ese on End.

SS&AAsAA1Ao 0sA 1AS On
Any fresh egg can, without being
boiled, be balanced on either end by
any one possessing patience and a
steady hand.
In order to save time the egg should
be placed for a short time on the end
upon which it is desired to balance 1t,
so as to allow the yolk to settle; then
both forearms Of the person making
the experiment should be rested on the
edge of the table and the egg should be
taken between the three fingers and
thumbs of both hands and slowly turn
ed around until the center of gravity is
found. This experiment may at first
require little time, but after little
practice it will be found very easy to
do. 1t would be we'll to try it first on
the tablecloth and then on the bottom
Of plate.
1t is conceded, of course, that the
present century is far more advanced
than that of Columbus, so it is only to
be expected that different ideas should
have been formed, even as to the bal
ancing Of eggs.

Cu.tom. of Golfers, Wives.

The wives of north country Golfers
observe very touching and pathetic
custom when an accident occurs in the
pit Directly it is known to the wife
Of collier that an accident has hap
pened in the pit where her husband
works and that his fate is uncertain
she throws open the house door, and,
however inclement the weather may be,
she keeps the door open and a candle
burning in the window, night and day,
till the man is brought home, dead or
alive. In some cases the door has re-
manned open and the candle alight dur
ing several weeks.-London Chronicle.

c.n..,. a. INA 1n.urance.

Life insurance originated in 1706 in
London. In that year there was form
ed the first life insurance company. It
was called the Amicable Society For a
Perpetual Assurance Office. 1t was a
mutual benefit concern.
Each member, without reference to
age, paid a fixed admission fee and a
fixed annual charge per share on from
one to three shares, and at the end Of
the year portion of the fund accumu-
lated was divided among the heirs of
those who had died, in accordance with
the number Of shares each dead person
had held. Out Of this company, with
its crude and imperfect methods, life
insurance as it exists today has grown.

Dog. as Collectors.

Dogs with collecting boxes attached
to their collars are comparatively COM
mon in Europe. 1t may not, however,
be generally known what large sums
they earn for the charities they repre-
sent. 1t is stated in the Animal World
that one which used to beg for a hos
pital in Ireland collected in five years
nearly $4,000. He had special bank
ing account. which was submitted peri
odically to chartered accountant.

Grow. In the Clouds.

So far as is known, the highest ele-
walton ut which flowers are found grow
ing is 1900 feet above sea level. The
homely little plant which has the dis
tinction of being the Hottest grower in
the world is found on the upper slopes
Of the Himalayan mountains, near the
line Of perpetual snow. The season
during which vegetation may appear
above the surface in this region is less
than four months in length.

Testing Swords.

A very picturesque and effective test
is applied to all the swords made for
the English army before they are al
lowed to go into commission. A pow
erful man takes each in turn, swings 1t
above his head and strikes it with all
his might upon huge round stone. If
the sword shows any sign of weakness
It is at once discarded.

chrt.tma. Tree Legend.

There is a legend in Germany that
when Eve plucked the fatal apple i'm
mediately the leaves of the tree shriv-
eled into needle points and its bright
green turned dark. 1t changed its ma
ture and became the evergreen, in all
seasons preaching the story Of mans
fall. Only on Christmas does it bloom
brightly with lights and become beauti-
full with love gifts-the curse is turned
into a blessing at the coming Of the
Christ Child, and we have our Christ
mas tree.

The First Corset.

The first corset-not counting ancient
notifications of the Grecian zone and
eirdle-was introduced into France by
Catherine de- Medici. It was strange
affair and fashioned after the style Of
a KNIGHTS cuirass. The framework was
entirely of iron, and the velvet, which
decorated the exterior only, served to
hide frightful and cumbersome ar
ticle of torture.

Swinging Round the Circle.

In the journey Of life we often travel
in circles. Therefore do today the good
that is in you. Plant your blossoms.
You will come back to them by and by.
It is the beauty of the things that you
do today that has most to do with
making beautiful your tomorrow. One
of the blessings of the sunset is in
reaping the memories Of what was
planted in the morning.

kodoI DYSPEPSIA Cure
West ro,nt,s ORIGIN.

The operations of the troops engaged
in the war of the Revolution directed
attention to the romantic and CON-
manding heights of West Point, and
within few years after the close of
the contest, through the influence of
surviving officers of the Continental
army it pleased President Washington
to include in his message to congress
(179O a recommendation for the es-
tablishment of a military academy
here
The act creating the academy did not
pass until the year 1902, and then only
as means of giving countenance to
the work of George Barren, who had
the year before established private
school for cadets at the Point. 1t re-
quired the stimulus of second war
with the mother country to overcome
the deep rooted prejudice of the rural
legislators against an institution which
they believed would become nursery
Of aristocrats, and it was, therefore, not
until 1912 that the Military academy
became part of the army establish
ment.-Frank H. Taylor in Four Track

Philosophy.

If we would realize the fact that life
is pain, not pleasure, our quarrel with
it would be gone, and we would accept
thankfully little scrap Of dripping on
our daily bread, but we go on expect
ing happiness, stand, empty plate in
hand, beggars to an invisible cook, and
we grow old standing there, but we
won't budge.-Helen Mathers.

Tendency of the Time

The tendency of medical science
is toward preventive measures.
The best thought of the world is
being given to the subject. 1t is
easier and better to prevent than
to cure. 1t has been fully demon
strated that pneumonia, one of the
most dangerous diseases that med
ical men have To contend with. can
be prevented by the use of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. Pneu-
monia always results from cold
or from an attack of influenza
grip, and it has been observed
that this remedy counteractS any
tendancy of these diseases toward
pneumonia. This has been fully
proven in many thousands of cases
in which this remedy has been used
during the great prevalence of
colds and grip in recent wears, and
can be relied upon with implicit
confluence. Pneumonia often re-
suits from slight cold when no
danger is apprehended until it is
suddenly discovered that there is
fever and difficulty in breathing
and pains in the chest, then it is
announced that the patient has
pneumonia. BE on the safe side
and take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy as soon rs the cold is con
tracted. Ii always cures. For
sale by j. G. Avis, Druggist.
