Geld Hor.e.hoes In OIden Times.

Roman writers inform us that Con- modus caused the hoofs of his horses to be covered with gold leaf and even the fetlocks to be gilded. Nero's short journeys were invariably performed on white mules wearing gold shoes on their fore feet and silver behind. The beasts which drew the chariots of his wife, Poppae. were shod all around with gold. Several others among the dignitaries and potentates of the riot ous days of the Roman empire shod their horses with gold and used the same material for bridle bits, buckles, spurs, etc.

Varying Weight of the Body.

A physician points out that several fallacies are common with regard to the weight of the human body. The man who congratulates himself on his gain of several pounds in weight in a given period may have no cause for rejoicing. for he may be under delu- sion. Very few persons, says the in- vestigator, have any correct idea of their own weight. As matter of fact, the weight of the body is continually changing owing to innumerable influ- ences On a warm day after break fast man will lose more than third of pound per hour. Seventy per cent of the body contains water, and its weight varies constantly. The infer ence to be drawn from the loss or gain of pound or two may be mlstrusted. Fluctuations of a few ounces are 6 sign that the body is in healthy state.-Milwaukee Citizen.

Known by Instinct.

To understand war, says the author H"A People at School" Is an instinct. To illustrate the aphorism he tells . story of an English general whose un- derstanding of sounds was phenome- nal. One night, he says, after dinner they were all sitting talking at head quarters. They were expecting an at- tack, and sentries and pickets were posted far out beyond the stockade. Suddenly we heard one shot. Of course every one jumped up. The bu- gles sounded; the men fell in; the ofi cers ran to their posts, General Sy- mons alone had not moved. After listen- ing intently for a moment or two he had sat down again. myself was be- tween two minds whether to go out with one of the parties hastily assem- bling outside or to stay with the gen. eral. So I stood irresolutely by the door.

The Life Line on the Foot.

Starting from the base of the big toe there is distinct line. That Is the life line. In one foot 1t will curve along until 1t terminates under the lnstep far toward the lower base of the little toe. This means long life. If broken in the hollow of the foot 1t denotes sickness at middle age, and if 1t terminates in the hollow of the foot 1t means short life. This line Is the most interesting one on the foot. The experiments that have been conducted have proved this to be an almost unfailing reading of longevity,

A Hunter

On the 18th of November, George E. Ainsworth, son of the judge, started out from his home on Wal nut creek. this county, to hunt tur- keys, taking his winchester rife and his dog. When he reached Round valley, short distance from the creek, he saw seated on his haunch- es, like great cat, large moun- tain lion. He fired upon the lion without moments hesitation, and the lion fell over in a crevice, its tail sticking above the ground. Young Ainsworth seized the lion s tail and pulled it out of the crew ice, when the lion, which was only stunned. commenced to take notice and made a lunge for the hunter. Then the faithful dog rushed to the rescue and had It's fore shoulder torn off by the lion, just as young Ainswort put bullet through the lion. killing it instantly. The work was short. sharp and exciting. Ainsworth then proceeded with his turkey hunt and brought home a wild turkey which weighed 21 pounds. This was certainly a good one days record for the young hunter. The lion hides are now at the Ainsworth home as trophies of the turkey hunt that yielded one turkey and three lions. Prescott Courier.

Lanxuaxe of the Heart.

The language of the heart which comes from the heart and goes to the heart Is always simple, graceful and full of power, but no art of rhetoric can teach 1t. It Is at once the easiest and most difficult language-dificult since it needs heart to speak 1t; easy because its periods. though rounded and full of harmony. are still un- studied.--Bovee.
