A dose of castor oil is as lisagreeable
to the ailing dog as to the ailing hui
man being. He kicks against it, and
does right, when he is gra bbed by the

nasty dose. This is poured down his
neck-on the outside. II is usually fol-

wrong way. The jaws are in wise,

Almost all apes have boards. Oar
win says that gOrillas, chimpanzees
and orang outangs have also stiff and
bristly hairs upon their upper lips, re-
semblng cats whiskers. The boards
of apes possess a remarkable resem-
blance to those of men, in being al
most invariably lighter in color than
the hair of the head. In apes the chin
growth is most frequently yellow or
red, becoming white in age. 1t Is
common to both sexes, although more
strongly developed in the male. Apes
and monkeys also-have eyebrows as
well, which do not grow thickly to-
gether as in human beings, but are
scattered through the hair, covering
the part of the face which would be
called the forehead in man.

They have Il novel method in Siam
of getting rid of the bodies of paupers
and criminals. In one of the temples
is kept flock of hundred vultures,
and the bodies, instead of being buried
or burned, are given to them as food.
As soon as they catch sight of a body
the rapacious creatures gather around
it, and it only takes them Il minute or
two to pick all the flesh off it.
A repugnant sight it is, but, accord
ing to Siamese physicians, it is an ex-
cellent sanitary measure. The soil of
Siam, they point out, is generally moist,
and hence it is much better that bodies
should be treated in this way than re.
placed in the ground, for. if buried,
they would surely prove more or less of
menace to the public health.
After the vultures have finished their
feast the skeletons are placed in
wooden boxes and burned.

"CUTTlNG OVER"
How Telephone Lines Are Moved
From One Switchboard to Another.

How Telephone Lines Are Moved
From One switchboard to Another.
"Cutting over is the technical
phrase applied to moving the wires in
telephone central office from one
switchboard to another. If you will
reflect that many of the switchboards
of the type used in the Bell exchanges
of large cities carry $500 lines, you
will see what task transferring such
mass of wires Is. Indeed, there are
few mechanical operations which more
impress one with sense of absolutely
perfect forethought and organization.
When an exchange is to be ''cut
over" all the outside lines coming into
1t, both overhead and underground, are
tapped and practically connected with
the new board while.the old one is still
in use. That is to say, they are brought
into the main distributing frame,
which is the big rack through which
the outside lines are separated and
linked to the proper inside lines which
run directly into the switchboard and
terminate in the ''jacks," by means of
which the operator is enabled to put
any two subscribers into communica-
tion.
The opportunities for confusion and
mishaps in this work are evident. and
It speaks much for the painstaking care
with which it is done that subscriber
is practically never "lost," as the tele-
phone engineer calls it, if one of the
lines is temporarily disconnected. To
secure such perfection innumerable
tests are necessary not only of the out
side lines, but of every switchboard
line. and THOSE are conducted over a
long period so as in no way to disturb
the service of the subscriber.
The operators are thoroughly drilled
in the use of the new board, and when
it comes to the actual performance of
"cutting over" which generally takes
place some hour in the night when
business is always light, both boards
have a full force to work them. The
final step is to cut the old connections
and complete the new ones at the same
instant This is usually done by pull
ing out from. the board TO be abandon
ed the heat coils which are put into
every circuit in the distributing frame
as protection to the apparatus against
an overload of electricity from light
ming or from the crossing of wires, or
what not, and simultaneously pushing
coils into the mechanism that replaces
it. So rapidly can skilled men perform
the operation that one of them can put
600 or 700 coils in place in thirty
seconds, and the whole process of "cut-
ting over' in large office occupies not
more than two minutes' There is no in
terruption of service, however, for one
group of wires is dealt with at time,
so that no circuit is out of commission

Causes of Cancer.

81 could see no reason for the prev
alence of cancer among the backwoods-
men of North America" says an Eng
lish writer. The other day, however,
| happened to read in an account of
the backwoods of Canada that the lum-
bermen maintain their remarkable
powers on buckwhcat cakes served
with molasses, potato pies, baked
beans, white bread, pork and bacon.
SO far good, but that ten, black as ink,
sweetcned with molasses or sugar
house srup, is always near the fire by
day and by night and is used in vast
quantities. Here we have the rich nu-
triment and the great excess of stewed
tea and the excess of sugar, cor
responding TO the excessive beer and
excessive coffee of parts of Holland,
Scandinavia, Switzerland, Baden and
Bavaria in all of which cancer is ex-
ceedingly prevalent"

In wedding sermon entitled 1.-THE
Rib Restored" preached In st. Dlonls
Back church, Fenchurch street, in 1855,
by Richard Meggot, afterward dean of
Salisbury, the preacher thus defined a
good wife:
"a help she must be in her family,
being not only wife, but housewife
not field wife, like Dinah, nor a
treet wife, like Thamar. or window
wife, like Jezebel, but a housewife"
And another preacher about the same
date, the Rev. Simeon Singleton, said
that wife should be at once like and
unlike three things. First, she should
be like snail, always keep within her
house; but she should not be like a
snail, carry all she has upon her back.
Secondly, she should be like an echo, to
speak when she is spoken to- but she
should not be like an echo, always to
have the last word. Thirdly, she
should be like the town clock, always
keep time regularly; but she should
not be like the town clock, to speak so
loud that all the town may hear herr

The artist who had found Marshby
full of 'paintable" places and friendly
people was much attracted by one of
the young women of the vi lage, whom
he met at a social gathering. He
asked and was accorded permission to
escort her home from little party one
evening, and, as the evening was mild
and the moon was shining, they lin
gered at her gate for few minutes
conversation. Suddenly the stiffness
was broken by hoarse shout which
came from an open window of the
little house:
Cast off that painter! Cast off that

The artist started as if he had been

blush.

Matter understandable.

An essential property of matter, but
which does not commend itself to su-
perficial observation, like those of ex-
tension and resistance, is indestructl-
billtJ. So far as experiment and OBJ
servatlon can discover matter can nei-
ther be created nor destroyed. On the
surface facts seem to contradict this
assertion, for any particular portion of
matter may be decomposed and resolv-
I'd into its constituent parts so that it
seems to have disappeared, because the
form under which we knew it is no
longer present. In reality, however, no
dlminutlon in the quantity of existing
matter has taken place. One proof of
this is easily afforded by combustion.
If we allow piece of wood or coal or
any combustlble solid body to "burn
away" there will, as we all know, be
ashes remaining. If while the cOmbus-
ton is going on we take means to pre-
serve not only the ashes, but also every
part of the body which would ordnari-
ly be dlssipated, as smoke and steam,
and then weigh all the different sub
stances, solid, liquid or gaseous, that
we have obtained, we shall find the
combined weights equal to the original
weight of the body itself.

The piIlOry In England.

1t is difficult to realize that as late
as June 2G, $780, so barbarous a pun
ishment as that of the pillory was still
inflicted. One Peter James Bossy stood
in the pillory in the Old Bailey on that
day for perjury and was the last of
n long line Of victims, for it was abol-
ished Immediately afterward Origi-
nally, like most medieval punish
ment, it was intended more as a dis
grace than us bodily discomfort, but
a crowd that would watch all night to
gloat over Il public hanging in the
morning naturally did not spare the
victims of the pillory, who sometimes
died from the treatment they received.
More humane was the punishment for
perjury in 14GS, when the offenders
were merely sentenced to ride from
Newgate to COrnhill with paper miters
on their heads. But they knew thing
or two in the middle ages, and no
doubt there was street boy even in
14GS.-LOndon Chronicle.

The Origin of Grocer.

Grocer appears in Holnshcd's Chron-
icle, 1880, as "grosser," and in other
medieval records it is sometimes
written "engrosser," and was applied
to the spicers and pepperels who were
wholesale dealers in various spices
that is, who dealt Ell gros-in large
quantities, as distinguished from ''re-
orators" who We're retail dealers. The
Grocers' company first adopted the
word grocer in 1873. when the spicers
and pepperers allied themselves into a
single corporation.-Lon Express.

THE CHOICE OF MATES.


Artificial Matrimonial Selection Has
Given Poor Results.
No one knows what type will be the
best for survival in an unknown future
environment. We often see the ex-
tinction of families of parents whom
any physician would have pronounced
ideal, but their children lacked resist
ance to the invasion of pathogenic or
ganisms or there was some other de-
feet which made them easy targets for
climatic causes of physical decay.
On the other hand, we quite often
find that parents below par physically
have fine families. The curious unions
which take place must be the result of
laws such as we find in every biologlc
phenomenon. Man has the same in
stinct found in lower animals to select
mate who Is more or less different
from himself.
Should like types mate, their COM
mon characteristics may be so eXag-
gerated as to be harmful and the line
perish. 1t Is an instinct of those of
great intelligence to marry those of
less than the average, for the offspring
revert to the better average. 1t is very
evident that If we try to improve the
race Intellectually by the marriage Of
like types we will violate the natural
law upon which our existence is based.
Artificial matrimonial selection has
been tried, though the results were dis.
astrous. Medicine.

One of the Most Wonderful Natural
Growths Ever known.
In October, 1887 the sacred bo tree,
at thnt time supposed to be the oldest
living vegetable monument on the
earth's surface, was uprooted and de-
stroyed by cyclone which swept over
the island of Ceylon The oldest writ
ten description of the sacred bo tree
now in existence is that by the cele-
brated Chinese historian, Fa Hian,
who visited the island and the sacred
tree in the year Ala A. d. According
to this learned Chinaman, the tree was
at that time 702 years old, having
been planted in the year 2SS before
our era by King Devinipiatissa.
As soon as it was known through
out the island that the tree had been
destroyed by the fury of the elements
great crowds Of mourners gathered
around its sacred remains" and held
regular funeral services for two or
three weeks. After the season Of
mourning was over the tree was cut
into proper lengths, each piece
wrapped separately in white cloth and
cremated with the same funeral rites
which would have been given a men,
Der of the royal family.
So perished the sacred bo tree, one
of the most wonderful natural growths
known to the world-a tree which had
been wOrshiped daily, one might al
most say hourly, for 2,175 years.

the air and fill the tube with mercury
vapor and then the tube is hermetical-
ly sealed ana allowed to cool. The
gradations are found as follows: The
instrument is immersed in ice water
and the freezing point is found and is
marked. Then it is placed in water,
which is allowed to reach the boiling
point, and so 212 degrees is found. The
spans between are marked by mathe-
matical calculations.

greatly to the disgust of King Afra-
slab. The Byzantine poet Miami sung
of polo in the twelfth century. Then
polo spread from Persia into central
Asia, India and Tibet in tie sixteenth
century, when the great Emperor Ak
bar patronized it. In Japan the game

popular under the name of da-kin, or
