Alcohol In Cold Weather.

A scientist thus explains why 1t Is so
dangerous to use alcohol In the polar
segions: A moderate use Of aIcolol
causes deposit Of fat. Alc cohci is not
iurned into fuel III the muscle md
nerve cells, but gerves a. q pure fuel
in the organism and replaces the COM
bustfon Of fat. Alcohol Is therefore
dangerous In the extreme cold because
It assists the throwing or Of heat In a
great degree. The effect Is as If q
stove In room should be heated red
hot and then all the doors ana windows
thrown open. Heat produced by mus.
cuiar work In the body ts best obtained
from carbohydrates In the food; but,
besides this, the Indispensable produc-
ton Of heat Is best obtained by fats.
This explains the instructive choice ~
Sue Iood OF men. In the tropics they
eat little tat and much fruit, while the
polar dweller requires immense quanti-
ties OF fat to keep up the bodily COM
buston.

SCOTCH SUPERSTiTIOMS.
Curious Methods That Were Adopfaa
In Sickness and Death

Curious Me gshods That Were Adopfea
In Sickness and Death
A method much In vogue In Scotland
at ono time Of ascertainlng whether q
sickness would prove fatal was to dig
two holes In the ground, one called tho
quick grave, the other tho dead hole.
Tho sufferer WIS then placed between
the two. and the hole toward which he
turned indicated what would be tho
outcome OF his muladv. Sometimes q
piece or rock wns broken over the head
OF person whose last agomes were
painful alike to himself and to those
who witnessed them. 1t was believed
thnt the heart Of the sick man would
thus he broken and his release hasten
ell. Windows md doors are always
thrown wide open In order that the dc.
parting spirit may have free cgress
from the house and escape from the
evil ones that hover around eager to
inthrall his soul

Of truth Many women preserved,
with tt, greatest reverence, their
bridal attire to cover them In the cof-
I'm. Bread and water were placed in
the chamber OF death, for during the
night prior to the burial the spirit of
tho departed one came to partake of
them. Stillborn children and little ones
who had not been blessed by the min.
lister were buried before sunrise. In
this way their admission to tho land of
promise was assured. Not to observe
the practice was to destine tho souls Of
these BARNS to wander homeless and
dlsconsolate.
The fate Of the suicide Is iamentable.
His body cannot rest in the klrkyard,
for it would taint the souls Of those
who lie therein. Frequently he was
buried in lone dixie which separated
swo lnirds' estates, and passersby wero
expected to cast pebble Mt the rude
stone which marked the place.

He Seems TO Esc q Cross Betweos, the
Horse, Cow and Deer.
Did you ever hear Of horned horse
It Is called the gnu and ia native of
Sout.s Africa. The gnu Is q puzzle.
We have called it horse, but 1t is
more like cow. 1t really seems to be
cross between the horse, the COW and
the deer. It has the head and horns
of COW, the tail, the name and with
ers Of the horse and the legs of deer.
Altogether the gnu Is one Of the most
singular creatures on earth.
Th, gnu inhabits the hilly districts
of south Africa, roaming all over tho
country in vast herds. AS far as tray
Slers have yet penetrated it Is found,
and It Ia fortunate that it Is SO, for the
flesh Of the gnu forms excellent food.
They are, however, extremely wild,
and, being very quick In their move
mcntS, are difficult to shoot. Upon tho
first alarm the whole herd scamper
away In single file, following @ leader.
When seen from distance they look
like a troop Of horses.

Lying limp and Shiny ON a fishmen-
gers slab, or dry and sandy In the fish

tue least interesting Of fish. When
swimming In an artificial sea or lying
on the sandy bottomRt is the most at
tractive Of all Of the denizens of this
mock ocean and whether at rest or In
molten has M air of vigilance. vivacity
and intelligence greater than that Of
any Of the normally shaped fish. This

If it had light rays to project from

would be precisely that made by the
sudden shifting of the jointed appa-

sky or horizon. The turbots, though
ready, graceful swimmers, moving In

almost Impossible to distinguish them.
