THE DESERT MIRAGE.

An Expla nation of This Peculiar
Freak Of Nature
One of natures true Wonders-one
upon which much has been written,
but which is yet not understood when
Its varied phenomena are considered
Is the desert mirage. Travellers in the
arid regions of the western and south
western United States tell Wondrous
tales concerning the spectral pictures
which the desert mirage has presented
for their inspection. Cool sheets of wa
ter and waving trees and grassy
swards appear where all is known to
be parched earth and burning sands.
Occasionally mountain range will ap
pear on what is known to be bound
less stretch of level plain, or herd Of
deer, cattle or other animals will be
seen apparently contentediy grazing
on the CLASSY surface Of the atmos.
phere. Cities are occasionally seen
hundreds of miles from civilization,
and phantom ships have been known
to loom up against the sky and appear
as real vessels to persons who lived
SO far away from the waters that they
had never taken the trouble to visit the
seacOast and WHO had never seen
real ship.
The explanation of the mirage, as
usually given, is as follows: ~
The sand, being intensely hot, causes
the layers of air which rest UPON it to
become greatly rarefed, and under GER
tain circumstances this layer is quite
distinct from the denser stratum q few
inches or feet above it-just as if it
were a sheet of water upon which oil
rested. 1t is this rarefied stratum Of
air which acts as reflector and pic
lures to the eye those curious inverted
images -. -. ------

A Valuable Agent.

The glycerine employed in DR.. Pierce's
medicines greatly enhances the medi-
cinal properties which it extracts and
holds in solution much better than alco-
hol would. 1t also possesses medicinal
properties OF its own, being a valuable
ferment It adds greatly to the efficacy
of the Black Cherry bark, Golden Seal
root, Stone root and Queens root, con-
tanned in Golden Medical Discovery in
subduing chronic, or lingering coughs,
bronchial, throat and lung affections,

mended by standard medical authorities.
In all cases where there is a wasting
away of flesh, loss of appetite, with
weak stomach, as in the early stages of
consumption, there can be no doubt that
glycerlne acts as a valuable nutritive and
aids the Golden Seal root, Stone root,
Queens root and Black Cherry bark in
promoting digestion and building up the

Origin of Crescent Bread.

The origin of the Viennese bread
shaped like crescent, which is found
In most places on the continent, dates
back to the time when the Austrian
capital was being besieged by the
Turks under the terrible Grand Vizier
Kara Mustapha, and as they failed to
take the city by assault they decided
to dig passage under the walls and
so penetrate into the town. In the day
time the noise of the siege made the
sound Of the tunneling inaudible, and
at nighttime the defenders Of the
place were asleep, all but the sentries
and the bakers. It was the bakers
who, as they baked the bread for the
garrison, heard the pickaxes Of the
miners coming nearer and nearer and
gave the alarm. In the fighting the
Bakers association took their share
with the utmost bravery, and as re-
ward for their services the emperor
gave them permission to make spe-
cial cake shaped like the Turkish cres-
cent.-London Sketch.

VEGETABLE RenDets.

Those who would like 20 make cheese
on. very small scale are often trOu
bled to get proper rennet to produce
coagulation of the milk. A Scientist
says that if the leaves of the common
butterwort are placed in strainer and
the milk fresh from the COW is poured
over it the milk will soon become thick
and has a most delicious flavor. The
yellow bedstraw also possesses the
properties of curdling milk, and the
natives Of Cheshire prefer it as rem
net to all other sorts. The leaves and
flowers are put In the strainer, and the
milk is slowly poured over them. The
flower heads of the garden artichoke
also possess the property of coagulat-
ing milk In view of the carelessness
sometimes noted in people who prepare
rennet In the ordinary fashion this
vegetable rennet is worthy of atten
ton. The leaves, properly cleaned and
prepared, would be very much safer
and more hygien;c than animal sub
stances which may go through chem.

a. Good Dog.


1t is related by Professor Bell that
when friend of his was travelling
abroad he one morning took out his
purse to see If it contained sufficient
change for days jaunt he intended
making. He departed from his lodg,
ings, leaving trusted dog behind.
When he dined he took out his purse
to pay and found he had lost gold
coin from it. On returning home in
the evening his servant informed him
that the dog seemed very Ill, as they
could not induce him to eat anything.
He went at once to his favorite, and as
soon as he entered the room the faith
full creature ran to him, deposited the
gold coin at his feet and then deVoured
the food placed for him with great
eagerness. The truth was that the
gentleman had dropped the coin in the
morning. The dog had picked it up
and kept it ia his mouth, fearing even
to eat lest he should lose his masters
property before an opportunity was af.
forded him to restore it Chambers

Once n Nest Of Pirates.

Lundy, In the Bristol channel, is an
island where one may see an earth
quake at any time. There is nothing
alarming about these earthquakes"
however. They are simply certain GU.
rious crevasses in the west Of the is.
land, which the local people call by
that name. Lundy in former centuries
was notorious nest Of pirates. In
King Henry ILLS time William de
Marisco, traitor to the king, built a
castle there and set up as an early
Captain Kidd. And so it went on
through the centuries until in the mid
die Of the eighteenth Thomas Benson,
a Barnstable merchant, who was then
lessee of the island, was convicted of
piracy and smuggling and expelled.
He had a contract for carrying con-
vfcts to the American colonies and
used quietly to land them on Lundy
and use their labor there.

Where Christianity Began.

The hills of Bethlehem are full OF
caves, natural and artificial, and
many Of them have historic signiti.
canoe. There is the milk grotto, in
which Joseph and Mary are said to
have concealed themselves before their
flight into Egypt to escape the evil de-
signs of Herod. The snowy whiteness
of the soft chalk out of which it is
hewn is ascribed to the splitting Of a
few drops of the Virgins milk when she
nursed the infant Jesus. Another grot-
to is pointed out as that in which st.
Jerome for mere than thirty years led
the life Of a hermit when bitter fac
tional dissensions had forced him to
leave Rome. On a western hill a rock
strewn plateau, around which stately
terebinths stand guard, marks a place
where the ancient Hebrews brought
their sacrifices unto the Lord. It Is a
solemn place, well fitted to excite de-
vout thoughts-a place where man
might we'll keep communion with his
Maker. In it's broader features Bethle.

The Nine In the Calendar.

The figure 9, which came into the
calendar on Jan. 1, 1889, will stay with
us Ill years from that date, or until
Dec. 81, 1899. No other figure has ever
had such a long consecutive run, and
the 9 itself has only once before been
in race which lasted over century,
that In which it continuously figured
from Jan. 1, S89, until Dec. 81, 900, a
period Of III years. The figures 3 and
Z occasionally fall into odd combina-
lions, but neither of them has ever yet
served for longer period than 100
consecutive years in our calendar since
the present mode Of calculating time
was established. 1t is also clear that
from their relative positions among the
numerals it is an impossibility for
either Of them to appear in date reck-
onings continuously for longer period
than century.

Great numbers of vast fortunes in

They thrive on the ignorance of their
