MStoneHvaTlD jackson.

In "The Life of Margaret ]. Pres
ton" the author tells us much about
that lady's brother-in-law, "Stonewail"
Jackson. His attention to minor points
Of conduct is shown in his manner Of
taking his Sunday nap. Jackson was
at the time in command of a military
school.
His long continued suffering from
dyspepsia had induced predisposition
to drowsiness, which he was very like
ly to yield to when sitting for length
of time quiet or unoccupied. Especial
ly In church would this infirmity beset
him, although most strenuously and
conscientiously resisted. Still he could
not be persuaded to relax his military
habit of sitting in perfectly erect
posture, thus rendering the unwilling
nod all the more apparent.
Some one playfully pleaded with him
to lean back in the pew, so that he
would be less conspicuous and the
cadets opposite him in the gallery
would be in less danger of being In
jured by his example; at least, that he
would cease to be a source Of amuse,
ment to them.
His reply to this badinage was: II
will do nothing to superinduce sleep by
putting myself at ease or making my,
self more comfortable. If, however, In
spite Of my resistance l yield TO my
infirmity, then deserve to be laughed
at and accept as punishment the NOR

A large number of the natives OF
Tenerife dwell in rock caves at the
present time, while those who have
made more progress inhabit huts that
resemble the caves.
The dwellings of these islanders are
simply large boxes, often built, if sucL
a term can be used, on the rock. They
have three completed sides without
openings of any kind; the roof is prac-
tically fiat, except that in the center

A correspondent sends to the London
Public Opinion the following quaint
epitaph ON what is known as 'Thetch-
er's Stone" at Winchester, England:
I'm memory of Thomas Thetcher, a
grenadier in the North regiment of
Hants militia, who died of violent
fever contracted by drinking small beer
when hot the 10Th of May, 1854, aged
twenty-six years. In grateful remem-
brance of whose universal good will
toward his comrades this stone is plac-
ed here at their expense, as a small
testimony Of their regard and concern.
Here sleeps in peace a Hampshire gren-
adler
Who caught his death by drinking cold
small beer.
Soldiers. be wise from his untimely fall
And when you're hot drink strong or none

IAN honest soldier never is forgot.
Whether he die by musket or by pot"

Here is a famous passage from the
writings Of a Chinese philosopher.
More than twenty centuries ago it
gained the author the sobriquet of

tells of a dream: "Once upon time |,

flutterlng hither and thither. to all in
tents and purposes butterfly. l was
conscious only of following my fancy
as butterfly and was unconscious of
my individuality as a man. Suddenly

The natives of Botocudes, one of the
hottest regions of the earth, believe
that heaven will be land of cool
streams AMI shady groves entirely
cleared of all underbrush and cacti!
All desert dwellers, it is said, die ex-
pecting TO awake in n wooded land
supplied bountifully with cold water
You will remember, if you have ever
read books of arctic travel, that all ma
tives of the frozen north have paradise
pictured as a land of warm sunshine,
with glowing fires overhung with pots
of boiling whales blubber and easeful
touches of fur scattered here and
there.
The Caroline islanders, who are pas
sionately fond of liquor but who are
in mortal dread of breaking their necks
by falling from one of the millions of
cliffs with which their islands abound
believe that paradise will be land as
level as a floor, where one can get
drunk and not be in constant dread OF
cracking his cervical vertebrate

Savage ana Civilized Dress.

Writing of Savage and Civilized
Dress" Edwin Swift Balch says that,
while it might be assumed that the SUI
perior development of the brain of civil
Hzed man would result in some form Of
dress far better and more tasteful than
anything found among savages, it may
be doubted whether this is the case
One marked error of civilized dress Is
its interference with the proper yenti.
lation of the skin. The human animal
breathes with his entire skin. Refuse
matter is thrown off as perspiration
through every pore. The fact is wCll
known, but in the garments of civilian
ton it is almost universally unrecog-
nized. Savages readily discern that the
most curious deformity achieved by
civilized people is produced in their
feet by means Of the civilized shoe. A
medical officer asserts that large pro-
portion of the volunteers for the Unit
ed States army have to be rejected on
account of imperfect feet. Savage peo-
pies do not distort their feet. They
wear sandals or moccasins or fur
boots, but their footgear always con.
forms to and does not have to be bro
ken in by the foot.

The Cad Whip.

a quaint custom of very old date was
observed until 1915 in the parish of
Caistor, Lincolnshire, England. A rep
resentative of the estate of Broughton
came into the church porch during the
reading of the first lesson and three
times cracked a CAD whip, which he
folded neatly up. He then retired to
seat and during the reading of the
second lesson approa ched the minister
with the whip held upright and fixed
10 its upper end a purse containing
thirty pieces of silver.
The precise origin of the custom is
uncertain There is reference no
doubt to the gospel story in the thirty
pieces Of silver. and there may be some
connection with the ancient custom Of
the procession of the ass" another
Palm Sunday observance of the early
church, in the whip.
The term "gad whip" has puzzled
British antiquaries, but it is probably
akin to the "goad" used in the time Of
Burns for driving horses.--I.ondon Ex-

sweet oil, castor oil, butter, cold cream

Indian Mothers and Dolls.

When an Indian girl dies her mother
often substitutes a doll for her lost lit
tie one. She fills the empty cradle with
feathers, arranged in the form of the
child and carries this around with her
wherever she goes, talking to it and
caressing it as she would her loving
child.
If she does not do this she ties in a
tight bundle the toys, clothes and arm
let's which belonged to her little one
and, fastening this to the cradle board,
carries it as she had formerly done her
child. The Ojibways call these "unlucky
dolls" because they represent the dead.
The reason the Indian mother carries
her 'dolr' in this pathetic way is be-
cause she thinks that the little dead
child is too small to find its way to
paradise. BY substituting the doll it
will help along until the dead baby has
grown large enough to make its way
to the spirit land alone. At least this
Is what the sad Indian mother believes.
