DuRER AND LEONARDO.

Explanation of the Differences Be-
tween Their Work ~ Patnter..
Durer was born a German, Leonardo
an Italian. This sums up much of the
difference between their work as paint
ers. The Italian race. under it's sunny
skies, has an Unborn love of beauty.
The German, in sterner climate
''How l shall freeze after this sum-
wrote Durer, during his stay in Italy,
to friend in neutrality-suspicious. to

way through the vast forests of his
country and some Of the gloomy ro-
nance that haunted their dark shad-
ows. The German spirit is character
lied by coordination of the wild and
rugged with the homely and tender, by
meditative depth, enigmatic gloom
sincerity and energy, by iron diligence
and discipline" Very remarkable quail.
tiles these, and to be found in Durer's
work, which is the reason that we de-
scribe him as being 50 representative
Of the Teutonic race.
But it was not only the difference Of
race that helped to mold the genius Of
these two men differently. Each was

WONDERFUL INSECTS.
The Marvefous Ways Of Various
ypeciex Of Ants.

The Marvellous Ways Of Various
Species Of Ants.
Lieutenant Colonel Sykes saw at Poo.
nan ants carrying out grain to dry in
the sun. DR.. Lincecum in Texas found
ants which planted a certain seed bear
Ing grass, reaped it and carried the
grain into their cells, where they strip
ped it of chaff and packed it away.
The paper relating this was read by
Darwin before the L.innaean society.
Another observer has told us Of ants
which grow mushrooms.
The foraging ants of Brazil and
western equatorial Africa are terrible
creatures. Elephants and gorillas fly
before them; the python takes care not
to indulge In meal till he has salts
fed himself that there are none Of
them about. They have "leisured
class" much larger creatures. which ac-
company their march. like subaltern
officers in marching regiment they
are not fighters, however. One curious
conjecture as to their function has
been made. They are indigestible, and
birds spare the whole army lest they
should get hold Of one Of these tough
morsels. This, it must be allowed,
looks little too strange.
Slaves the ants certainly have, but
they do not make slave raids; the lar
vac Of the inferior race are carried off
and hatched out The crowning mar
vel, however, is that the British slave
owning ant, and he alone, makes his
slaves fight for him.-London Specta-

A GOOD WIDE YAvVN.
1t IL 4 Splendid Revlver For the
Whole HOly

1t IL 4 Splendid Revlver For the
Whole BODY.
A good, wlde, open lnouthed yawn is
a splendid thing for the whole body. 4
yawn Is natures demand for rest.
Some people think they only yawn be-
cause they are sleepy. but this is not
so. You yawn because YOU are tired.
You may be sleepy also. but that is not
the real cause OF your yawninS. You
are sleepy because you are tiretl. and
you yaWn because You are tired.
Whenever you feel like yawning just
yawn. Don't try to suppress it be-
cause you think it is impolite to yawn.
Put your hand over your mouth il YOU
want to, but let the yawn come. And
II you are where you can stretch ut the
same time that you yawn just stretch
and yawn. This is natures way Of
stretching and relaxing the muscles.
Don't be afraid to open your mouth
wide and yawn and stretch whenever
you feel like it. Indeed. II you are
very tired, but do not feel like yawn-
ing, there Is nothing that will rest YOU
so quickly as to sit on straight back
chair, and, lifting your feet from the
floor, push them out in front Of you
as far as possible, stretch the arms.
put the head back, open the mouth
wide and make yourself yawn.
Those tense nerves will relax, the
contracted muscles will stretch and the
whole body will be rested. Do this two
or three times when you are tired and
see what It will do for you.

SEEING NOISE,
The Method by Which Sound Waves
Are Photographed.

The Method by Which Sound Waves
Are Photographed.
Sound can be photographed by tax
ing advantage Of the motion produced
In a tuning fork: Sound travels in
waves, each corresponding with an os-
cillation in the fork, which remains in
state of continuous vibration while
the note is sounded.
To photograph these sound waves a
small mirror is attached to the end of
one Of the 6rongs. On this powerful
beam Of light is projected by lens, so
as to strike it at an angle of forty-five
degrees. The light is again reflected
from its surface, but in a new direc~
ton, and very slight alteration in the
position Of the mirror makes large
one In the reflected beam.
TO take the photograph the light is
turned upon the mirror in a darkene
room, and the tuning fork is set in vi
bration, while a sensitive plate is rap
idly passed in the path Of the reflected
pencil Of light. On development the
plate shows sound waves recorded as
q wavy line, and each note has its
characteristic curves.

WHEN A MAN STARVES.

How 1t Feels to Go without Food
For Seven Days.
For the first two days through which
a strong and healthy man is doomed to
exist upon nothing his sufferings are
perhaps more acute than in the remain
ing stages; he feels an inordinate, un-
speakable craving at the stomach night
and day. The mind runs upon beef
bread and other substances, but still in
a great measure the body retains its
strength. On the third. and fourth days,
but especially on the fourth, this inces-
SAINT craving gives place to- sinking
and weakness of the stomach, accom-
panied by nausea.
On the. fifth day his cheeks appear
hollow and sunken, his body attenu-
ated; his color is ashy pale and his eyes
wild, CLASSY and cannibalistic.
The sixth day brings with it increas-
ed suffering, although the pangs Of
hunger are lost in an overpowering
languer and sickness. The head be-
comes dizzy; the ghosts of we'll remem-
bered dinners pass in hideous process
sion through the mind.
The seventh day comes, bringing in
creasing lassitude and further prostra-
ton of strength. The mind wanders.-

The Mad AmbassadOr.

There was tragic little scene imme-
diately preceding the marriage of King
Edward VII. when he was the Prince
Of Wales With several of his royal
relatives he was staying at the Prus-
sian embassy in Rome. where his host
was the German ambassador. Baron
von kanitz.
The responsibility of entertaining so
many august personages under his
roof was too much for the ambassador.
he appeared at dinner one night in his
dressing gown and slippers and to
half the royalties of Europe exclaimed: !:
''1s this to go on much longer? I am
heartily sick Of it, and It must come to
an end at once"

next day removed him to an asylum. a

SHAVING is ANCIENT.
The Custom Was Probably FOLLOWED
In PrehistOric Times.

The Custoln Was Probably Followed
In PrehistOric Times.
1t is not improbable that prehistoric
man shaved, for curiously shaped
shells and flint fakes have been dis
covered which have been supposed to
be very ancient razors. In remote parts
Of China men have their chins scraped,
without water or soap, by instruments
very similar to these, and the men of
the stone age would most likely find
out at very early stage that to leave
hair upon their face was to give use-
ful handle to their enemies.
That, indeed, was the reason why
Alexander the Great compelled his SOL
diers to shave, and his order is among
the earliest definite instances of shay
Ing upon record, although there can be
no question that the practice existed
long before his day.
The Oldest Egyptian sculptures show
some men clean shaven, and others
partially 80. with curled boards. 1t is
recorded in Genesis that Joseph, when
he went from prison to the presence Of
Pharaoh. about $500 B.. c., shaved
himself and changed his raiment."

Advice That May Help His Course OF
Love. to Run Smooth.
Agree with the girls father in poll
tics and the mother in religion.
II you have rival, keep an eye on
him. II he is q widower, keep two
eyes on him.
Don't put too much sweet stuff on pa
per. If you do you will hear it in after
years when your wife has some espe-
cial purpose in inflicting upon you the
severest punishment known to a mar
r1ed man.
Go home at reasonable hour in the
evening. Don't wait until girl has
to throw her whole soul into a yawn
that she can't cover with both hands.
A little thing like that might cause a
coolness at the very beginning of the
game.

= In cold weather finish saying good
night in the house. Don't stretch it all
the way to the gate and thus lay the
foundation for future asthma, bron-
chitis, neuralgia and chronic catarrh
to help you to worry the girl after she
has married. Don't lie about your

STUNNED AND STABBED WOLF.
Art Gilman had quite an exciting
experience Monday evening while on
hts way home fr< m Chester Dietel's.
He was crossing Pigeon Lake and
while walking along, he heard the
howl OF wolf, and looking around
in the direction the noise came from
he saw the volt making right for him.
Mr.. Gilman was carrying = big stick
for walking cane, aud when the volt
jumped for him, he hit 1t on the head
but it only stunned it for = few sec:
onds. BY the time it made another
jump, Gilman had got his big knife
ont and stabbed the wolf in the breast,
and the Wolf made for the woods. 1t
was about dark and showing hard, so
Gilman could not follow. The wolf
was bleeding quite hard and likely
bled to death.-Dassel Anchor.
Jacob Weber, of Richmond, who

he was not q full American citizen at

IN possession OF his naturalizatio
papers only 10 days before that time,
whereas the law requires 80 days, and

Flowers of Good Cheer

Although DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes
never practiced medicine, those who
knew him intimately say that he
cheered more sinking invalids, cured
more sick people and did more good,
even from medical standpoint, than
many Of lis young physician friends.
The secret Of his power lay in his over
flowing cheerfulness and kindness Of
heart. He scattered flowers of good
cheer wherever he went. With him
optimism was creed. "Mirth is Gods
medicine" he declared. Everybody
ought to bathe in it. Grim care, mo-
roseness, anxiety-all the rust Of life
ought to be secured off by the oil Of
mirth.'

One Of the most extraordinary Of

other husband might be forthcoming,
and, as may readily be surmised, at
this stage of the proceedings the wom-

the Confucian philosophy was consult
ed, and he recalled to mind the ancient
ceremony Of marriage to a flower vase
It was rite of great antiquity, leg
end attributing its origin to an empress
who ruled before the Christian era. 1t
was decided that the woman might
''marry the red vase It was neces-
sary, however, to procure the imperial
sanction. This the great wealth of
her father obtained, and ON May / the
wedding was solemnized.
In the procession the vase was car
ried under silken canopy on palan-
quin borne by youths of noble birth,
while the bride followed in another pa
lanquin guarded by twelve maidens
and twelve matrons. a military guard
and a civic escort made up the parade.

NftrO-CuIture.

We are almost daily getting letters
from farmers asking about what has
been called nitro-culture. They seem
TO imagine that it is new and con-
centrated fertilizer that will make
poor land rich at once, and we are
asked if 1t is good fertilizer for this,
that and the other farm crop. The ar
ticle now called nitro-culture is SIM
ply a laboratory culture of the various
bacterial forms that live on the roots
Of legumes, and the purpose of these
cultures is TO lnoculate the soil with
the different bacteria, since it has been
found that each class of legume has its
own specific bacterium, and the sue
cessful growth Of each depends on the
presence in the soil of the bacterium
that lives on its rots and enables it
to get the free nitrogen of the air com
blnes in the soil for its use. Those va
rious nitro-cultures, therefore, are not
fertilizers, but are simply collections Of

BITS OF FLAG LORE.

The simple stripping of the red and
yellow in the flag of Spain was suggested
by the arms of Aragan.
The strangest flag under which man
ever fought is that of the Macedonian
insurgents. 1t is red on one side and
black on the other.
The crescent. moon and stars were
adopted by the Turks as their device on
the capture of Constantinople by Mo
hammed II. in 1853.
The white cross on the red field Of the
Swiss flag has a religious meaning. II
was adopted as an appeal to heaven in
1899, when the stout Swiss fought and
won one of their greatest battles.
Peter the Great 1t is said borrowed
the idea of the Russian flag from the
Dutch, among whom he learned ship,
building. He simply turned the Dutch
tricolor, red, white and blue, upside
down.
In compliment to William. prince ol
Orange, their great leader the colors oil
