were occasionally passed over. But as

and more into arrear, she ventured to

lately, Peg? How careless of me-"
her mistress said. "I'm sorry have

Love Potiona,.

Love potions as used by the peasants
Of lower Austria and Syria are gen
orally taken by the person who wishes
to be loved. The common habit is to
consume minute portions Of white ar
senic, which will In a few weeks de-
velop a thin, pale girl into a plump,
rosy checked beauty. Great care has
to be exercised In taking the arsenic
or death results, and when the habit
Is once formed it usually lasts for life,
since the body becomes uncomfortable
and even diseased, showing all the
symptoms of arsenic poisoning, If the
habit is broken off.
Some Of the eastern nations use love
potions differently. If a girl loves a
man and he seems cold, she contrives
to give him a drink Of hasheesh, OBJ
tanned from Indian hemp. The mans
brain becomes logged, and he is ready
to believe anything that is suggested
to him. The girl suggests to him that
she is beautiful and thus compels him
to regard her unlovely features as she
desires.

The Human Electric battery. r.
The superstition that human beings
should sleep with their heads, to the
north is believed by the French to have
for its foundation a scientific fact.
They affirm that each human system is
in itself an electric battery, the head
being one Of the electrodes, the feet the
other. Their proof was discovered from
experiments which the Academy Of
Sciences was allowed to make on the
body Of man who was guillodned.
This was taken the instant it fell and
placed upon pivot free 70 move as It
might. The head. part, after a little
vacillation, turned to the north, and
the body then remained stationary. It
was turned half way round by one of
the professors, and again the head end
Of the trunk moved slowly to the car
dinal point due north, the same results
being repeated until thesRnal arresta-

VIC robacconi.t,. Emxy.

One OF the most peculiar things in
the whole history Of signs is the fact
that while all other shopkeepers were
patronizing the embryo painters the
tobacconist always called upon the
woodcarver on the continent as well as
IN England. As long ago as Eliza
beth's reign tue wooden image OF the
black boy was the favorite sign Of
the tobacco dealers. Later the Gus
tomary sign was the highlander Or
figure OF Sir Walter Raleigh. In Hol-
land. for some strange reason. the to.
bacconists adopted the dairymaid az
their sign, with the motto, "Consola.
ton for ssucklings." The Indian, nat
urally enough, has always been the
predominant sign in this country. al!
though once in awhile a reversion to
type crops out with the ancient black
boy.

. Old Whist Terms.

The following passage is from the
Adventurer, No. IS, March 6, 1853:
ION Sunday last terrible fire broke
out at Lady Brag's, occasioned by the
following accident: Mrs. Overall, the
housekeeper, having lost three rubbers
at whist running without holding a
swabber Notwithstanding she had
changed chairs, furzed the cards and or
dered Jenny, the footboy, to sit cross
legged for good lucky, grew out of all
patience and, taking up the devils
books, as she called them, flung them
into the fire, and the flames spread to
the stewards room.''
Swabbers are the ace of hearts, the
knave Of clubs and the ace and the
deuce Of trumps at whist. To furz or
fuzz is to shuttle the cards very care
fully or to change the pack.-London

Why Rain Clouds Are Black.

The color of cloud depends on the
manner in which the sunlight falls upon
it and the position of the observer. It
will be noticed that high clouds are al
ways white or light in color, and this
is because the light by which they are
seen is reflected from the under surface
by the numberless drops Of moisture
which go to form the cloud. Heavy
rain clouds, on the other hand, are
found much nearer the earth, and so
the light falls on them more directly
from above; giving silver lining to the
cloud, though the undersurface ap-
pears black owing to the complete re-
Election and absorption of the light by
the upper layers. Seen from above by
an observer in balloon, the blacklist
rain clouds appear Of the most dazzling.

Tennis and Lawn Tennis.

that tennis and lawn tennis are identi-

mis-, whereas lawn tennis is gener-
ally known as tennis" The games
are in many respects very diff
ferent The court, which in lawn
tennis is open, in tennis is closed
at the back and sides by the walls, and
almost invariably above by a root.
There is a considerable amount of play
off the back and side walls. The balls
are harder than lawn tennis balls, be-
ing, in fact, of the consistency of
cricket balls. Hence the rackets are
heavier and the gut is thicker

Remarkable instances of this are to be

not so touching and appealing, senti-
