Imprisoned In the Wind.

Butterflies may be imprisoned and
uninjured iii the midst of a whirlwind.
Gales In a genuine typhoon are so ter
rible that the stoutest ships can scarce
ly hope to weather them, but there is
a spot at the very center of the storm
where something like a dead calm pre-
walls. From the outer edge Of the dis
turbance, which may be 800 miles
across, the wind velocity increases to-
ward the center until within a few
miles Of that point there m a sud
den lull. There the rain ceases and
the sky often clears. In this little
calm area, which sailors call .'the eye
Of the storm" a group Of butterflies
has frequently been imprisoned, and
their dainty, delicate forms are as safe
in this aerial cage rs IL lowering in
sunny meadows, but as helpless as in
u Collectors bottle.

.,o1xe ON the "prophet."

Some time in the thirties Of the last
century Prophet Joseph Smith, ST., the
Mormon, and a party of his followers
were PROSECUTING in Muskingum coun-
ty, O.. He appointed a certain day
when he would show the people his
wonderful powers and that he was a
second Christ by walking on the wa
tiers of Mud creek. The water was
always muddy. A day or two before
the time set grandmother's brother
Robert and a couple of neighbor boys
were accidentally attracted to the
Mormons working at the creek and,
concealing themselves, watched the
Mornons put down stakes and put
blanks on them from bank to bank,
the plank resting about six inches un-
der water. After the Mormons left
the boys went down and took out the
center plank, where the water was
about ten feet deep. The next day
BALKAN Smith came down to the creek
and, after a long eXhortation, started
across the creek. He was all right
and on top till he came to h center,
where his powers seemed to leave
him, and he went to the bottom. This
was the end of Mormonism in that
county.

The Verdict,

Records Of the ancient city of Cor
gcana, founded in 1640, better known
at the present time as York Harbor,
Me-, contain many quaint and unusual
stories Of the early life of the town.
AT the entrance to York harbor q
bold promontory known as Stage neck
extends some distance into the sea,
from which formerly in stormy wealth
er a temporary light in the form of a
lantern hoisted upon an upright pole
was displayed as a warning to mari
ners. .,.
One dark winter night a sloOp was
wrecked on these rocks. A survivor on
being questioned about the catastrophe
said:
1.-THE vessel struck, turned over on
her side, and the skipper and another
barrel of whisky rolled overheard"
The local coroner was summoned,
and this somewhat startling verdict
was returned:
I'VE find that the deceased fell from
the masthead and was killed. He
rolled overheard and was drowned. He
tloated ashore and froze to death, and
the rats eat him up alive"-Harper's
Weekly.

1t was in a subway train. On the
lap Of q woman, apparently her moth
er, sat a girl of some eighteen months.
Next to them was another mother with
her two-year-old son. Each woman
petted the others child, and the boy
liked the attention and laughed and
pranced. The girl maintained a
straight face. She did not fret, nor
apparently did she want to cry, but if
the word can be used in the case Of
one so young she was bored. The
petting of her own mother and of the
other woman clearly had no effect.
Then the little boy entered the lists.
Edging up to the child, he put his arms
around her neck and said, II love 'oo!"
Then it was that there broke over the
baby's face the first smile that had ap-
peared since the long subway ride
from Harlem began. And as for the
mothers, the usual and natural COM
ments as to prescience follOwed.-New

A lobster lays thousands of eggs,
most of which hatch, but few eve live
to grow up. This is not the fault Of
the mother, for she carries them about
With her for nearly q year and with
admirable instinct guards them as she
does her w life. When the young
are set free her duty is done, for they
must then shift for themselves. Though
hardly larger than mosquitoes, being
about one-third of an inch long, the
little ones leave their parents on the
bottom and swim toward the light-to
the surface, where from one to two
months, if fortune favors them, they
lead a free, rowing life. The open sea
is a poor nursery for such weaklings,
which become the sport Of every storm

All the News.

A wise editor says: "a man told US
the other day that we did not publish
all the things that happened. We
should say not. In the first place, there
is somebody else depending on us for
a living. If we printed all that hap
pens we would soon be with the an
gels. In order to please the people we
must print only the nice things said
of them and leave the rest to gossip.
Yet it's a fact we don't publish all the
news. If we did wouldn't it make
spicy reading? But it would be for
one week only; the next week you
would read our obituary. All the
news is all right when it's about the
other fellow"

Coffee ana smoke II. s,otn.

Even of wine, SO cheap and album
dant in Spain, the natives seem to use
very little. They are, frightfully in
temperate, however, in their use of to-
bacco and coffee. They drink coffee
at all hours and apparently every hour.
The clerk who takes his morning cup
at 0 has another at his desk an hour
later, purchased from a street vender.
The business men passing through the
streets pause while a fellow who car
ries hot coffee, hot milk, sugar and
spoons harnessed upon him serves
them on the sidewalk.

Japanese "si1ent. Music.

A curious ceremony is performed in
Japan by the court. musicians at GER
tain Shinto festivals. Both stringed
and wind instruments are used, but it
is cid that no sound should be allowed
to fall upon unworthy ears, and, as
some of the ears present might be I'M
worthy, all the motions of playing are
gone through by the musicians, but not
a single sound is heard. This strange
custom dates back many generations,
but since the advent of civilization has
rapidly lost favor.

that old bread was thrown away as

A GREAT INSTITUTION.

It lis unusual that single Institution in
city of 5000 people will overshadow In i'm

sustained by this Institution, in fact
Kirksvillc has been made what it is to-day
by DR.. Still and his famous School anc
Infirmary. 1t is the largest patr lnlzcd un
endowed institution OF its kind in the
United States.
DIR. Stills school enrols over ,0) stud nnts
yearly and each student is required u at
tend four terms of five months each before
completing the course Of study. The are
over 1900 graduates and they are prac.
ticing in every state and territory Of the
Union. About two-thirds of the states
have passed special laws legaliziag the
science.
This school teaches every branch taught
in medical colleges except drugs" and
osteopathy Is substituted for that. So
thorough Is the teaching in anatomy that
sected yearly by tho students.
AT the lnfirmary, patients from every
part OF tho country and with almost every
form Of disease are constantly under treat
ment. For the past fifteen years almost
every train coming to Klrksviile has
brought some new sufferer hoping TO find re
lief by the science of Osteopathy. b. tho
thousands who have left the institution
benefited By the treatment, the science has
been heralded to the world as safe ana
rational method Of cure. Several years ago
a free clinic was established in connection
with the practice department Of the school
and this is still in operation. Hundreds of
the worthy poor, who are unable TO pay for
treatment, are treated every afternoon by
the senior students free OF charge.
