A CORDIAL NATURE.

Acquire 1t.

II It Is Not Yours, Do Your Best to
Acquire It.
The cultivation of cordiality and pop
ularity early in life will have great
deal to do with ones advancement,
comfort and happiness.
It is a mortifying thing to have q
kindly feeling in the depths OF ones
heart and yet not be able to express II,
to repel people when one has just the
opposite feeling toward them. To be
incased in an icy exterior with really
warm heart is a most unfortunate
thing.
Some people have repelling express
sion in their faces and manner which
is constant embarrassment to them,
but they do not seem able to overcome
it. This is largely due to lack Of
early training or to the fact that some
times these people have been reared
In the country, away from the great
centers Of civilization, where they do
not have the advantages Of social in
tercourse, and in consequence become
cold and appear unsympathetic when
they are really the opposite.
1t is a very difficult thing to over
come these handicapS. but the cultiva-
ton of good will. of helpful spirit and
kindly feeling toward everybody will
so far to open up the hard exterior so
that the soul can express itself.-Suc-

THE LIGHTNING ROD.
Franklin's Theory Was Known Ava,

Franklin's Theory Was Known Away
Back In TaImudie Times.
In an article on Current Topics Iu
Ancient Literature" ]. D. Eisenstein
says in the Sydney (Australia Stand
ard:
The lightning rod, was invented by
Benjamin Franklin in 1852 to arrest
the electricity of the thunder. When
the information Of the discovery reach
ed Rabbi Saul katzenellenbogen Of
Wilma, he said that the theory was not
new, because it was already known IN
Talmudic times, and he showed pas
sage in the Tosefta (third century,
where it says that on Sabbath it is
permitted to place an iron near the
hennery to safeguard the fowls from
thunder and lightning strikes The
Talmud vouches that there is nothing
superstitious about this belief (Tosef.
Shabb. chapter 6, end.)
The system Of telegraphy, in i
crude manner, is curiously described By
Judah b. Jacob Chayat IN his COM
mentary to The System Of Theology
chapter, The Gate Of the Chariot
(see page 21Sb. ed, Ferrara. 1853.
Chayat is perhaps the first Hebrew
author who tranSliteratcs the term
magnet and he explains the physical
phenomena as follows: If you break
the magnet into two parts and sep
arate them at any distance, even I
thousand miles apart. any movement
caused by a joining wire TO one part
will be repeated by the other part
{quoted also in Shclah, page 30a. ed.

TEsTATORs' LAST WISHES.

Strange Requests Regarding the Ar
ransement of Funerals.
Sir James Colquhoun's desire to be
buried in full evening dress costume
recalls, says the London Standard, Gu
rious last wishes Of other testators.
George Herring directed that his re-
mains should lie beneath sundlal at
thc Haven of Rest. Maidenhead. Queen
Victoria planned the entire programme
for her funeral, even choosing the mu-
sic to be played, the anthems to be
sung.
A couple Of months ago young lady
who died at Reigate on the eve OF her
wedding was buried in her orlaal
dress. the friends who were to have
been her bridesmaids attending me

Major General AIsernon Stewart at
Hascombe. Surrey. The coffin was
drawn to the grave by the dead man S

INK THAT NEVER DRIES.

zone Of the first things We have to
impress upon newcomers in this buSl-
ness" remarked i dealer in fine prints,
lis to take the utmost care IN handing
prints for the simple reason that the
ink used in printing engravings and
etchings practically never dries. OF
al the men whose works in this line
we handle It can be safely said that
on the prints Of only two Of them
-Remr-andt and 1Durer-has the ink
really dried And you know it IS
long time since they were alive. Il
has been our frequent experience to
have prints fully 200 years old show
signs that the ink still had some mois-
ture in it, as we have learned to our
cost in seeing them rubbed.
IAN expert. whether he be profes-
sional or amateur collector. can tell at
8 glance that print has had another
one pulled across it, for to his accus-
toned eyes the telltaIe marks Of the
ink having been drawn across blank
place on the paper are as clear as day
light. That is why we keep all Of our
prints in boxes that just fit them so
that they must be lifted out sQuarely
with no chance Of their being dragged
across the ore below. It seems like
trihe. But it is just such trifes that
make or mar the sale of really fine
print worth thousands Of dollars

The Horses Ancestors.

Lovers Of horses may be delighted
with the distinguished genealogy which
geolcgists have completed for that ia.
vored animal. At least the names OF
the horses ancestors look very dlstln-
suished. Here is the list, with the geo.
logical eras in which each lived, as ar
ranged by Professor ". \. Rice: Ine
line of descent begins with Hyracothe-
rum and Eohippus of the lower eocene
age. Then follow Protorohippus and
Orohippus Of the middle eocene; Epl-
hippus Of the upper eocene; Mesohlp-
pus of the oligocene: Anchitherium OF
the lower miocene: Parahippus, PToto-
hippus and Pliohippus Of the middle
and upper miocene, and finally Equus
of the pliocene and the Guatercary,
from which the modern horse directly
descends. Eipparion and Hippidium
represented ancient side branches tnar
died without descendants.

Pale People Made Rudy by Rydale's Tonic.

Pale people are pale because the
blood is deficient in quantity or poor
in quality, or both. This impovished
condition OF the blood is almost invari-
ably caused by some wasting disease.
The cause may be chronic disease
such as dyspepsia, consumption, ma
laria., ETC., or may be the result OF an
acute disease such as fever, etc. 1t mat

sound doubly sweet when heard IN
these treeless wastes The birds build
their nests in the mountain cleftS
or under large rocks, lining them with
feathers and down. In winter time
their plumage is warm and abundant
and especially fits them for the rlgor
Of an arctic winter. During the breed
ing season and summer they live en-
tirely on insects. particularly gnats.
while in winter they subsist on moss.
roots and seeds. Some winters less
rigorous than others they are in abun-
dance, but at times famine compels
them to seek more favorable climate,
and they are then seldom found until
they invariably reappear toward spring.
These buntings are distinguished by
q long claw on their hind toe, struc-
ture which really enables them to run
about with ease on the soft snow.
OF the other birds I may mention
pufins, divers, looms, dovekies, gulls.

Reason For Heavy Wheels.

Everywhere in the cid world the
wheels of wagons and carriages are
two or three times as heavy as those
on corresponding vehicles in America
and so appear clumsy and cumbersome
to US. The explanation Of the differ
