Seven Ages of the Nose.

TIME nose has seven ages. First,
1t leads its owner straight
- Where pies and cookies, good
and hot.
Lie fragrant on the plate.
Then. second age, it loves a smell
Perhaps of all the best
The sawdust of the circus ring
Beats Araby the Blest.
Third age it shifts with great delight
From night till dewy morn
The perfume of faded rose
A certain girl has worn.
Next age, 1t goes into the wars
Where falls the battle stroke,
And in its nostrils linger long
The powder and the smoke.
Fifth age. its happy hours are spent
In speeding past the scene,
While floats on the surrounding air
The scent of gasoline.
Sixth age, it finds a pleasure great.
A joy vouchsafed to few,
The faint aroma breathing forth
From bank notes crisp and new.
Then seventh age. when crowding
years
All other aims debar.
In blissful and uptilted ease,
1t shifts a good cigar.

EARTHQUAKES.
Their Causes, Their Frequency ana
Their Two Great Belts.

Their Two Great Belts.
There is never a day on which some
part of the earth is not shaken, and II
is probable that not even an hour ever
passes without some kind of an earth
quake in some part of the earth The
truth OF this statement may be IN
ferred from the fact that in Japan
alone 1881 earthquakes were recorded
between the years 1885 and 1892. The
great majority of these shocks are ire
mors detected only by instruments or.
If noticed by man, of such slight in
tensity as to cause no alarm. Many.
however. are sufficiently strong to en-
danger life and property. and there is
every grldltion between the tremors
which only delicate instruments detect
and the earthquake which devastates
a great city.
Causes for Jars in the earth are many
and of different kinds. The falling in
of the roofs of caverns has been known
to cause earthquakes, and landslides
have caused others. These, however,
are minor causes, and the resulting
shocks are of slight importance. A far
more potent cause for earthquakes is
volcanic action.
There are two great belts on the
earth in which either volcanoes are ac-
tive or mountains are growing or in
which the two phenomena are asso-
ciated. These two belts follow great
circles. One of these passes through
the West Indies, the Mediterranean
sea, the Caucasus and Himalaya noun
tains and is called by De Montessus
the Mediterranean or Alpne-Caucasus-
Himalayan belt In this belt SO per
cent of all recorded earthquakes have
occurred. The second belt nearly en-
circles the Pacific, following the Andes
the mountains Of western North Amer
lea, the Aleutian islands, Japan and the
Philippines. This De Montessus calls
the circum-Pacific or Andes-Japanese
Malayan belt. In this belt have occur
erd Al per cent Of all recorded earth
quakes. In all the rest of the world
the recorded earthquakes equal only 6
per cent of the total number
Those whose homes are outside the
two belts of frequent earthquakes are
not absolutely immune from disturb
ance, as is proved by the earthquake
at Charleston in 1856 and at New Mad
rid in 1872. But in those parts of the
globe earthquakes are not common.
They occur in widely scattered locali- |
ties at rare intervals and are not COM
monty of great destructiveness. In the |
belts of frequent earthquakes, on the |
other hand, shocks may occur in many |
places at frequent intervals and occa |
sionally with great violence San |
Francisco and Santiago, for example |
are situated on danger lines in the |
earth's crust, as are many other places |
in the two great earthquake belts

great many who cannot do so. In.

is thrown in lcngthwise. coal thrown

until the oil has burned off the wood

Of wood, not enough TO cover the bot.
tom Of the CRATE, break small pieces
and lay crosswlse, then put on the oil.
II you use kerosene. and there will be
no difficulty in making the fire burn.
Another way is to place the kindling
in funnel shape. This is especially
good in furnaces. since the funnel
causes 4 strong draft as soon as the
wood starts to burn. This will remedy
the trouble you have every morning In
starting the coal fire.
