An Odd Little Essay on the Subject
of breathing.
Everything on. in and under the earth
breathes-animals. minerals, vegeta-
bles. etc. The tides are caused by the
breathing of the earth itself. This old
globe must take two long breaths. a
day, each inspiration requiring six
hoNrs and each expiration the same
period of time If Mother Earth did
not breathe she would in all probable
ty Dust and blow up. When she
breathcs too hard as If in a panic, or
because of some geological excitement,
she cracks the ground and we have the
earthquake. Her ordinary respiratory
movement merely expands and con-
tracts the water volume.
Singularly enough, air is the most i'm.
portant element provided by nature.
A man can live forty-tive days without
food, several days without water and
about three or four minutes without
air. Take away his lungs, as by pneu.

"A Problem In wizardry.

We want to know why persons who
believe in wizards, or, at all events,
consult wizards, nearly always prefer
to believe in men or women who are
of 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 We're acknowl-
edged by those who consulted or fear
ed them to be i'll all ways their su-
periors, but it is seldom broken. In all
the letters on country superstitions
which we have published the "wise"
man or woman has always gypsy blood
or some popularity of appearance
marking out him or her unfavorably
from their kind. The wizard of India
is usually 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-London

Solid Emery Wheels.

In the production of solid emery
wheels the best cement that can be
employed is one that binds the emery
together with that degree of strength
which will resist the centrifugal strain
due to the high speed at which emery
wheels cut best-about 5000 feet speed
per minute. 1t must not soften by
FRACTIONAL heat or glaze or burst or be-
come brittle and break with cold, nor
must it hold the cutting grains until
they are too dull to cut nor release
them SO readily as to waste away the
wheel too fast 1t must be capable of
being Thoroughly mixed evenly with
the grain emery, so that the wheel may
not have either hard or soft spots and
be out Of balance. and must also be
capable Of being tempered to suit DIFF
ferent kinds of metal or work. Great
care and skill are required III the mat
ter of selecting only pure and strong
chemicals for these cements.-Cassle
Magazine.

In weak persons bleeding ut the nose
is frequently hurtful and should be
stopped without delay, as continued
hemorrhage may prove fatal If neg
lected.
Those who suffer from poorncss of
blood or anaemia and are sometimes
seized with violent nosebleeding should
avoid as far as possible anything which
may tend to bring it on. Gentle exer-
else only should be taken, as violent
bodily movements may provoke repe-
tition of the hemorrllage. Even run
ming downstairs hastily should be
avoided. Bleeding at the nose is usrl-
ally sign that something is wrong
with the system. The cause should, if
possible. be discovered and steps taken
to remove 1t.

Humble Pie.


The term humble pie originally car

pie made out OF the "humbles" or
'numbles," from the Norman French
"nombrils"-i. e., the entrails of deer.
To this day it is highly esteemed in
Scotland and in northern parts of Eng

phrase ito eat humble pie" from an al

THE NAMES HE USED.


They Helped to Sell the Wonderful
Works of whistler.
Though the, peculiar nomenclature
Whistler adopted for the output of his
brush and needle inevitably in Its
novelty excited ridicule and censure
and was surely adopted, just as his hir-
sutial oritiamb was carefully cultivat-
ed, mainly as an advertisement to at
tract the custom of the hunter after art

In favor Of such nomenclature by those
who recognize the sisterhood of the
various fine arts. Whistlers early days
were passed in an atmosphere of music,
and, apart from the masterful craving
of cratic genius for novelty and his
appreciation on reaching manhood and
looking forth on the world of the value
of new processes in systematic self ad-
vertisng it was therefore not unnatu-
raj that he should use musical termi-
nology in giving titles to the output of
his work in graphic art. Why should
he not speak Of that work as SYM
phonies or harmonies in white, in
green, in blue. in gray or what not?
Why should the>word arrangement"
be confined to musical notes? Is not

He Wa. Ahxentmtnaea.

The absentmlnded man is at it again.
He had been reading the egg story and
decided to try the trick. The first thing
to do was to boil the egg. How many
minutes? he asked himself, and, going
to the stove with the egg In one hand
and his watch in the other, he dropped
the latter in the hot water. Then,
placing the egg on the table, he sat
down to read until the time was up.
At the end of five or six minutes he
was surprised to find the egg lying
there before him, but supposing that
he had himself taken it from the kettle
and cooled 1t, he proceeded to crack
and peel it. The consequence may be
imagined. Finally he missed his watch.
The house was searched high and low,
and 1t was not till the following morn
ing that the cook found it in the kettle,
where it had been boiling for hours

A bald head is less familiar (and
nowadays less true) representative of
the Interchangeable than the Philippians
skin or the leopard's spots, but it was
cited in this character with impressive
pathos by Hipparchus, one of the sew
en- martyrs Of Samosata. After they
had been subjected to severe tortures
they were at last confronted with sew
en- crosses, and the Emperor Maximian
offered them last chance to recant
But the aged Hipparchus put his hand
on his bald head ana cried, "4As this,
according to the order of nature, can
not again be covered with hair, so
never will change or conform to your
wish" MaXimian ordered goats
skin to be nailed to Hipparchus' head
and then jeeringly claimed that the
condition was fulfilled. But Hippar-
chus remained obdurate and speedily
died on the cross.-London Chronicle.

Tn.y Rarel, Fell Trees,

Most Of the Spaniards dislike to fell
trees or cut live timber of any sort,
and this fact perhaps accounts for the
giant trees Of California. The Span
iards two centuries ago pushed their
way through Mexico to California, and,
save the clearing of paths through the
dense forests, not twlg did their axes
chop down. Nor do the Spaniards
transplanted to the new world ever
destroy timber They continue to build
their houses Of stone and mortar, at
great expense Of money and physical
exertion, when timber in abundance
surrounds them, out of which they
could construct log houses, as did other
pioneers, at minimum of cost and
labor. The Spaniard does not even fell
trees for firewood, but picks up dead
limbs as they fall to the ground or
pulls them from the trees with his
lariat.-London Express.
