Always Raining.

There is n group Of islands to the
south Of New Zealand called the SIS
ters. or Seven Sisters, which are reput-
ed TO be subjected TO practically con-
slant rainfall. The same may be said
OF the islands and mainland OF TERRA
del Fuego, saving for the difference
that the rain often takes the form of
sleet and snow. On q line running
round the world from four to eight or
nine degrees there are patches over
which rain seldom ceases to fall. This
is called the "zone of constant precipita-
ton" but at the same time there are
several localities along it with very
little rainfall.

ChurcIyard Novelty.

In the churchyard Of the little Mid
dlesex village of Pinner, England. there
stands a monument quite distinct from
all those which surround it. 1t consists
Of tall. square pyramid oyergrown
with ivy, through the middle Of which
projects q coffin made Of stone. This
monument was raised by son TO his
parents. William and Agnes Loudon'
as the inscriptions tell. They do not
however. tell why he chose TO have lis
parents' remains poised in mid air in
the stone shell instead Of being buried
In the usual manner. This curious act
IS accounted for In a strange way.
1t appears that his parents came into
some money which was to be theirs so
long as their bodies We're above the
ground" When they died, therefore, in
order that the money should not pass
into other hands their son buried
them in this curious manner, and. de-
spite the apparent injustice, his object
was attained.

Cu-tous Facts About the Eye.

A very curious fact is the impossible
lty of moving your eye while eXamin-
ing the reflection Of that organ In
mirror. 1t is really the most movable
part of the face. Yet If You hold your
head fixed and try TO move your eye
while watching it yOu cannot do 1t
even the one thOUSandth Of m inch. or
course If you To- at TIE reflection OF
the nose or any otLer part OF your face
your eye must rloTc 10 see II. But the
strange thing is tat the moment you
endeavOr 70 perceive the motion the
eye Is fixed. This is one Of the reasons
why Il PERSONS expression as seen by
himself In a glass is quite different
from what 1t IS when seen by others.

Poison In War

The use of poison in war was once
considered not only permissible, but
commendable. and was defended by
no less an authority than Wolf.
There are reported instances of wells,
springs, ponds and streams being poi
soned as a military measure. Even in
our time instances are numerous Of the
Intentional defllement of drinking wa
ter supplies by throwing the bodies or

The End OF Knowledge.

Some men think that the gratiflca-

OF supporting themselves by their

knowledge Is this-that we should ded-

by God to the use and advantage of
man.-Bacon.

THE DEMAND 10 ENDED.

We don't think the demand for
business methods and business men
in public Office is quite as urgent
now as it was year or so ago.
There have been some rather start
ling disclosures respecting business
methods and business men, lately.
1t has come to light that business
as she is done by eminently rel
spectacle and successful business
men is nothing short of systemal
tized fraud and robbery. POLL
ticians as loeters and grafters can
hold a candle to business men. II
we may judge from the Hydesb
Alexanders, McCurdys, McCallsL
Armours, Rogers, Rockefellers and
50 on, and so on, etc, the saving
of the country is due to the fact thai
so few great business men have
found their way into public life.
Had Rockefeller and Rogers gone
into politics instead of oil, they
would have owned the United
States by this time. The cry foE
the business man in politics il dy-
ing away, and it is good. Til E
steering of the ship of state mus i
be left to farmers, politicians and
editors. They all die poor but
honest.
