Love Philters.

A favorite plant with the old herb
alists was satyrion, name applied to
several species of orchis. AS far back
as the days Of the Roman empire 1t
was commonly supposed that the roots
Of the satyrion supplied the satyrs
with food and prompted them to COM
NIT those excesses for which they be-
came proverbial. Kircher relates the
case Of youth who, whenever he Wis
tied certain corner of his garden, be-
came so lovesick that he mentioned
this strange circumstance to friend.
On examining the spot it was found to
be overgrown with species Of saty-
r1on, the odor Of which alone had the
effect Of inspiring love.-Chambers

In Cheshire, England, there are leg
0nds Of prophet, one Robert Nixon.
who Is supposed to have lived in the
days Of King James I. His fame
spread, aud the king sent for him, ac-
c0rding to the story. Nixon was great
u distressed. He wept and mourned,
saying that If he went to London he
should be starved When he arrived at
court the king, having hidden ring,
asked him to find it. Nixon replied,
He who hideth can find y This great
~ struck the monarch, who ordered
him to be kept in the kitchen SO that
there might be no fear of his being
starved. Nixon had great appetite
he could manage a leg of mutton at a
sitting-and he became such nuisance
that one day the cooks locked him in a
closet. Here he was forgotten, and
his prophecy came true-he was starved
to death. The closet is shown in Hamp-
ton Court; but, unfortunately for the
veracity of the tale, that portion of the
building was not built till the reign Of

The Aristocracy Of Birth.

Why did the aristocracy OF parent
age fail to hold its own7 Why did it
die out In America and, practically
speaking, III all the British colonies?
It had every advantage at the outset;
1t held the inside track It failed be-
cause two great laws Of the universe
were against it-frst, the laws of
arithmetic, and, secondly, the laws Of
physiology. It violated the principles
Of arithmetic because it required that
each individual or household should
have distinct line of ancestors, and
1t would thus be discovered in few
generations that there were not nearly
enough ancestors to go round, leaving
people in the position Of Mark Twain,
who declared that he had mo parents
to speak OF, only a father or mother
or so.' It was contrary to the laws Of
physiology, as shown by the deteriora-
ton of one royal family after another
in Europe, these having come to re-
semble those English race horses
which have so much blood that there
is very little horse, and it must be re-
plenished from more plebeian stock.

How sparks Ave Formed.

Sparks are formed by the expansion,
under the action of heat, of air con-
tanned in the minute cells Of wood, coal
or other burning substance and also
by the evolution of gas in the same
cells. When the elastic force of the
imprisoned gas or air is greater than
the tenacity Of the material can hold
in check, then the small cells or cavi-
ties burst, and the flying splinters rise
as sparks. A sharp crack commonly
accompanies the explosion and con-
Hnues as hundreds of these cells burst
in rapid succession. The quick flight
of these burning particles acts as a
fan to increase the fame, and when
the substance burns so far that no
more fame is formed the remaining
carbon ash is kept in state of in
candescence by the draft Of air. When
all the carbon has been consumed the
spark dies out, as is evident il we
watch a falling spark on a dark night.

What the Japs Call Japan.

A certain Japanese who has been for
some years resident Of Philadelphia
and who has many friends here was
speaking the other night of his own
people.
"Of course" he said, 1--WE do not
call our country Japan. Our name for
it is Nippon or Suns Origin indicat-
ing it's position in the extreme east
But when we speak Of the entire en-
pire we call it 'Dai Nippon which
means Great Nippon"
The Jap's eyes tWinkled.
"It is not" he meditatively conclud-
ed, embarrassing to reflect that off
the eastern and western boundaries of
the greatest mass Of land in the world
there should exist an insignificant
group Of islands inhabited in each case
by people of very mixed origin and
very mixed characters, each of whom
expresses its defiance of it's geograDh-
zeal insignifcanee by the same means

To Save ones Bacon.

Some think that the phrase ito save
ones bacon arose at the time of the
civil wars in England, when house
wives in the country had to take ex-
traordinary precautions to save bacon,
their principal provision, from the
greedy appetite of soldiers.
In slang sense bacon stands for the
human body, and ito save ones ba-
con" is just to escape, so that when it
Is said that man has saved his bacon
1t refers to himself, as do the cognate
expressions, sSpare my bacon' and
"Sell ones bacon" Thus in Carlyle's
Schiller" we read, "To the kaiser l
sold my bacon, and by him good
charge of the whole is taken.'
Others have less probably connected
the phrase with the times when heresy
was expiated at the stake, and man
was said to have "saved his bacon
who had narrowly escaped being burn
ed alive.
The French have a very similar
phrase, "Sauver son lard" .-

WRITER'S CRAMP.
HI Is Sort OF Paralysis of Either
the Muscles or Nerves,

4V Is u Sort OF Paralysis of Eth er
the Muscles or Nerves.
Writer'S cramp, which is more paraly-
sis than cramp, is caused by excessive
writing, especially when in weak or
depressed condition. 1t is still mat
ter of doubt whether this embarrass-
ing defect is due to failure of the
central nervous system or whether it
arises i'll the muscles involved
Duchenne, one of the highest author
tiles on nerve diseases, holds that it is
an affection of the great nerve centers,
for local treatment of the hand does
no good, and cramp rapidly appears in
the left hand if the sufferer transfers
the work to it. 1t is probably caused
by the complete exhaustion of some
portion OF the brain which presides
over the movements of the group of
muscles involved.
Rest is the chief, if not the only,
cure, though the substitution of a
keyboard typewriter in the early stage
ts often Of no avail. A dial machine,
which must be grasped with finger and
thumb, is not so successful. Pianists,
violinists, telegraph clerks, tailors and
many others suffer from similar
cramp.

PLANTS IN BEDROOMS.
They Are Harmless In the Daytime,
but Vicious at Night

In the daytime when sunlight slim
ulates their nutrition, plants can do
no harm in bedrooms, for then they
give off oxygen and are useful in alb
sorbing from the air the carbon which

use which is made nowadays of flow

self sufficient proof that this is a whole
some means Of ministering mental
cheer and comfort to the sick and suf-
fering.
At night the case Is different. Then
all plants and flowers are removed
from hospital wards, because they ex-
hale the carbonic acid which they have
gathered from the soil and air and
thus give off by a process similar to
respiration gas which is injurious.
We may therefore conclude that dur
ing the hours Of darkness, when the
respiratory process is active and the
nutrltive is at standstill, plants should
nave no place in our bedrooms. What
Is prudent in spacious wards is imper-
ative in smaller chambers.

A SCOfch Answer

A good story Of an old crofter who
appeared before the commission to APP
ply for reduction of rent was recently
told at a meeting in Glasgow. The
number Of cattle on the farm led Sher-
If Brand to observe that surely the
croft could not be in such a bad way
as it's owner would seek to show.
"Och,'' replied the old fellow, you
should see the bit beasties'' s'What
like are they?'' queried the sheriff.
They're as lean, sir, as Pharaoh's
kline" ''How lean was that?'' asked
the sheriff, doubtless thinking that he
had cornered the applicant. But had
he? Not bit. Like a fash came back
the answer, $50 lean, sir, that they
could only be eaten in a vision.''

FIRST USE or GAS.
The Way the Idea Of Using II Fer
Light Was Ridiculed.

:
Great was the amazement of all Eu-
rope when at about the close OF the
century William Murdoch discovered
that gas could be used for illumination
purposes. So little was the invention
understood by those who had not seen
1t in use that even the great and wise
"a men of the British parliament
laughed at the idea "How can there
be light without wick?' said one
member Of that august body, with q
wink and a knowing nod. Even the
great Sir Humphrey DaYy ridiculed the
idea Of lighting towns and cities with
gas. He one day asked Murdoch, DO
you mean to use the dome of ST. Paul's
for your gas meter?' Sir Walter Scott
also made merry Of the gas idea and
Of the coming attempt to illuminate
London with smoke from q tar fac
tory"
When the house of commons was
finally lighted with the new illuminant,
the architect and custodian of the
building, who imagined that the gas
ran as fire through the pipes, insisted
that they be removed several inches
from the wall to prevent the building
from taking fire! Several distinguished
members were also observed carefully
touching the pipes with their gloved
fingers and then smelling of them to
see if they could detect the odor Of
burned leather.

The orchid is peculiar plant, for,
strange as it may seem, there is no
distinctively orchid odor One smells
like the violet, others like the rose, the
hyacinth, the daffodil. Orchids are the
monkeys, the mimics Of the vegetable
world, In odor as we'll as form and
tint. No other flower resembles an or
child, but orchids are forever aping but
terfies, pansies, boots, spiders, pitch
plants, birds and what not And they
are not absolutely certain to look just
the same twice in succession.
