We want to know why perso.ts who believe in wizards. or, at all events consult wizards, nearly always prefer to believe ill men or women who are of a race inferior to their own or in circumstances which prove that their occult powers are of no use to them selves The rule is not invariable. for there have been great wizards like Paracelsus, Roger Bacon. Michael Scott and Cagliostro, who were acEnowl- edged by those who consulted or fear ed them to be in all ways their su- periors. but it is seldom broken. In al! the letters on country superstitions which We have published the wise man or woman has always gypsy blood or some peculiarity of appearance markin. out him or her unfavorably from their kind. The wizard of India Is usually a naked savage, while those who resort to him are civilized beings clothed carefully in muslin. The rever- ence of the whites for the black obeah man or woman in the West Indies is the subject of countless narratives, espe. cially in the French islands.-Loudon Spectator

2 HANGING SHELF.

Bookshelves of every sort especially those with the queer square pegs o1 the ends, like outside seams, are among the most popular of the things made al home, and the little hanging shelves ere still more popular.
 The easiest sort of shelves to make are, of course, those with uprights braced in two ways, with the usua "crossbar" joining and with strips which go diagonally down, adding very materially to the strength of the shelf This is the style of shelf shown in the ulustra ton.
 Deeper sets may be made to set IL under a window, where 1t is in a sort of recess. as many windows are They may be built directly into the recess made immovable. but the better way is in making them like T separate case which fits snugly but eAily into the wall. Then at cleaning time the case may be entirely removed for the better getting rid of dust.-Chicago Record Herald

The Word "Tari6." i"

The word tariff has an interesting origin It is derived from the Arabic ta 'rifa, meaning an inventory of fees payable on demand, and became cur rent in the following way: A certain Moorish general, by name Tarifa, seized in the year TO upon small seaport some twenty miles from what Is now Gibraltar and the southernmost town in Europe. Here he founded a station for levying toll on all craft trading in the neighborhood and be- slowed his name upon the place, after the manner of Constantine, Alexander and others.

LIFTING ( BABY.
Be Careful Always to Support the
 Head and Neck.

The head of a baby Is very heavy much heavier in proportion to it's body weight than that of an adult. Tie brain of newborn baby Is about II per cent of it's entire body weight, while a grown persons Is but 2.37 per cent of Nits weight. At the same time it~ spine is very weak, the bones of it ar- soft, being. in fact, more of the con sistence of gristle than of hard bone.
 Now, tE:s is wny a young baby's head falls forward if put sitting up straight, which, by the way, is thing that never should be done until 1t sits up of it's own accord. This it will not be slow to do as soon as it's muscles are strong enough, which Is generally when the infant is about four or five months old
 1n lifting baby, therefore, it is most important always, before beginning tc lift, to place the palm of one hand un der the back of the head and neck, 50 as to support them we'll At the same tAAe the other hand and forearm should be passed round the child's Joins, so as to support both back and thighs and prevent the legs from hanging down. When both hands are in position, then gently raise the infant.
 Never lift baby up with one hand. This is an absolute rule, to which there is no exception. Roth hands must al ways be used at the same time in lift ing an infant. Neglect of this simple rule may cause muscle strains and jars to the spinal cord and brain.
 In carrying baby see that it's head is well supported against the arm and that its legs do not dangle from the knees. At the same time do not hold 1t so as to constrict It's movem ents Keeping baby held with it's back bent and its limbs doubled causes deformi- ties. It also Causes wasting of the mus. cles. These cannot grow strong unless they have free room to exercise A baby should always be able to use it's limbs freely.-New York American.

CHE AEROPLANE

 Life Wos Imp eriIed.

Although the aeroplane of Professor J. J. Montgomery finally was given its trial trip at Idora park, Oakland, Cal. e2d demonstrated some capacity for keeping of the ground. the flight of the airshtp was attended with an accident which all but caused the untimely death of the courageous aeronaut, Da- Tid Wilkie, who essayed the perilous feat of dropping with 1t from the touds. An accident to the rudder Of the machine rendered 1t unmanageable. and when it was released from it's moorings to the balloon, which hoisted it up 1,2oo feet Into the air, it con- menced falling in terrifying circles to- ward the earth, Wilkie in the mean time struggling desperately to right the machine and succeeding only when the car had reached a point 100 feet above the ground. At this juneture the falling aeroplane had attained such velocity that nothing could prevent 1t from crashing heavily to the earth. and It's occupant was pitched out on his head, to the horror of the spectators, who rushed up with the expectation of finding him killed The lucky aeronaut escaped, however, with nothing worse than badly skinned face
 The ascent of the airship was sched. uled to take place at 80 D. m., but 1t was after o'clock before the balloon scared away with It's burden. The height attained by the party was dizzy. Ing, the balloon and airship appearing as mere specks in the heavens When the aeroplane was released from the balloon 1t was instantly apparent that something was wrong with the appa- ratus, for the craft commenced a rapid series of ever narrowing circles in it's headlong descent, and as it neared the ground the spectators could see that Wilkie was making a heroic struggle to correct the steering apparatus. The tail, or rudder, of the craft, which works with an up and down motion, seemed to be stuck fast, and without this aid the airshlp was useless. Will. kie had removed his feet from the stir rups and was bending his entire eners gies to fighting his crippled machine Fate played in his hands, and a lucky wrench just in the nick of time gave his craft it's equilibrium et the very moment when death seemed a certain ty. But such was the swiftness of his descent he had little chance to correct the direction of the machine, and the whole affair plunged .ts nose into the ground at sharp angle, wrecking
