Mas Fool Age.

A medical nan has discovered that
neither in youth nor old age is man
likely to make the biggest fool of him.

sidcred not to have arrived at the dig
nifty of years Of discretion. yet home

Of middle life" between the ages of 81

spOnsible by the verdict OF mankind
for such iameH;able iS%i:cs. there will
be found Il strange Co;u"idence in the

Here Is an interesting and practically
ineXhaustible field for investigation.

Confiscation In Morocco,

1t Is q custom in Morocco that all the
property Of an official reverts ut death
to the crown. The logic which leads to
such a result Is simple. for the govern.
ment argues that all fortunes thus &C,
cumulated consist Of moneys illegally
retained by the authorities. A govern.
or when appointed is probably possess
ed Of no considerable fortune. When
he dies, he may be a millionaire.
Whence came his wealth? Squeezed
most certainly from the tribes under
his authority and therefore amassed
only by the prerOgatives OF the posi-
ton in which the sultan had placed
him.
1t has never struck the Moorish gov
eminent that these great fortunes
might more honorably be returned to
the people from whom they were stol-
en-. The result is entire cOnfiscation to
the crown, including often such private
property as the governor may have
been possessed Of before his appoint
ment and not seldom, too, of the prop
erty of his relatives.
When the mighty fall In Morocco, the
crash brings down with them their
families, even uncles and cousins and
all connected with them. and 1t is not
seldom that the sons of great govern
Ors, who have been brought up I'm the

nues of mounted men. have to so beg.

A Horses Binders.

A horses binders ara usually con-

may be reflected from them. BY con-
slant cleansing this dead surface Is
made more or less smooth If not actual

binders are usually set at an angle, SO
that as a result Of the law OF reflection

not directly in the axis Of vision, but
more or less transversely or Obliquely,
the result being even more injurious.
AS a result Of this reflection the vision
Is weakened If not destroyed.
Moreover, the mirrorlike binders not
only reflect sunlight. but they reflect
objects as well, so that blinded"
horse sees not only objects directly
ahead Of him, but has a more or less
blurred vision of other objects. inter
mixing with and confusing the image
Of objects directly before him, and as q
consequence he is rendered uncertain
in his movements and is easily scared.
No further proof Of this is needed than
the fact that a nervous horse with a
reputation for shying and running
away often becomes tractable II the
binders are removed, because he can
then see distinctly what before he
could only see indistinctly and confus-

s. Such q Noise !"

The mother says to herself sometimes.
81 can hardly endure it." Then a chill
creeps over her as she thinks of the aw-
full silence which falls upon the home
when children are taken away, and she
is glad her children are hardy of body
and lusty of lungs.
When a child does not enjoy noisy
sports and games there is something
wrong, and that something will often be
found to be lack of nutrition adequate
to the needs of youth and growth. The
stomach is weak" digestion is imper-
feet, and so the nourishment of the body
is Inadequate.
In such cases DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery works wonders. 1t
changes puny. fretful children into
healthy, happy girls and boys. The
process by which this change is &C
complished is strictly along the lines
marked by Nature. All growth and
strength come from food when it has
been digested, converted into nutrition
and assimilated. Golden Medical Dis

and other organs of digestion and nutri-
ton, and 50 enables the body to obtain

other narcotics.

BIRTH OF THE ROSE.
Tive Legends Of the Origin OF This

Tive Legends Of the Origin OF This
Beautiful Flower.
There are two traditions as 10 the
origin Of the rose. According to Sir
John Vaudeville, q Jewish maid Of
Bethlehem (whom Southey names I'll
lah) was beloved BY a british sot
named HammeL The maiden rejected
this sutton, and he, In revenge, &C
cused Zillah Of ofrenses for which she
was condemned to be burned alive.
When brought to the stake the flames
refused to hurt Zillah. but burned
Hammel to a ciuder. There she stood
In a garden Of roses. for the brands
which had been kindled became red
roses. and those which had not caught
FIRE white ones. These, according to
the tradition, were the first roses that
bloomed on earth since the loss Of
paradise.
Then, according to q Mussulman ira
dition. the rose is thus accounted for:
When Mohammed took his journey to
heaven the sweat which fell on the
earth from the prophets forehead
produced white roses, and that which
fell from the animal he rode upon,
named Al Borak, produced yellow
ones. At the present day the sellers
of roses in eastern towns cry aloud
in the streets, 1.-THE rose was O thorn,

INSECT ARCHITECTURE.

The Way Carpenter Bees Build Their
Nests In Wood.
Mr.. Reunie in his insect Architsc
ture" describes the work Of a carpen-
ter bee. First she chiseled channel
In q piece Of wood with her powerful
jaws and deposited each morsel at 4
distance. Then she made repeated
journeys to bring In pollen and clay
until she had collected enough to serve
as food for the future grubs and to
bar the entrance.
Cutting open the post, he found q
nest Of six cells separated by parh-
tons of clay as thin as cardboard and
with sides AZ smooth as any Joiner
could have contrived.
Reaumur tells US how the violet car
penter bee bores into wood obliQuely
for an inch and then perpendicularly
for q foot scoeping out three or four
such passages. At the bottom she lays
an egg, covers it with paste Of pollen
and honey and a protection OF gnaw-
ings from the wood. This Is repeated
until the nest Is filed, and a side door
ut the bottom enables the young bees
to come out in due time.--Pearson's

translated thus:
Aelia Laelia Crispis
Neither man. nor woman. nor hermaphrodite,
Neither infant. young nor old.
Neither chaste. depraved, nor modest,
But all these.
Removed neither by hunger, sword or poison,
But by all,
She lies neither in the sky in the water. but
everywhere.
Lucius Agatha Crispis
Neither husband. lover friend,
But all these.
Neither weeping nor rejoicing,
But both.
Has erected this, neither a mausoleum, q pyramid
nor q sepulcher,
But all three,
Both knowing and not knowing to whom he hath
erected 1t.
This Is tomb that holds no body,
This is a body held in NO tomb,
But is Its own body and Its own tomb.

cry nimble wit is invited to exercise it.

large number was the "shock"-that

Between 60 and 12O there were no
numbers like our 70. ETC., being "a
