which Is peculiar to the country. and
which consists In betting on the

gambling in that there is no possibili.

chance of controlling the results. The
sportsmen make wagers whether 1t
will rain or not. and also how much
rain will fall. the latter question being
settled by rain gauges. There is great
excitement on cloudy days. The
gamblers rush to the Offices or "dens"

Sentiment.

A flag is no more to be classed as
strip OF bunting than the sword Of
Bunker Hill could be classed as a
chunk of steel. Memories, traditions.
ideals. loyalty. patriotism are not un-
real because they cannot be measured
with a yardstick or weighed on the
scales of a coal yard. Loyalty to the
flag is force as real and far more
permanent than the great lifting crane
of the navy yard. Patriotism will move
more. in the space OF time. than the
biggest engine in the freight yards.
Ideals are more forceful than the big
gest mound OF radium that the civiliz-
ed world can ever get together. Public
sentiment has had more to do with the
digging of the Panama canal than the
heaviest shovels driven by steam in
the Culebra cut.

An appeal is being made in England
for funds to undertake the great task
of excsvating the ruins Of Memphis.
do for Memphis what the French gov
ernment has done for Delphia and the
Germans for Olympia. The sites of the
four great temples are plainly mark
ed. so that exploration can begin at
once. This mass OF ruins covers 100
acres. as much as the whole OF the
site at Karnak. and 1t is estimated
that $4,000 will be needed annually
for fifteen years to accomplish the
work. Important material is believed
to lie within few yards Of the sur
face, so that results should be reach

Useful Candle Nut,

One Of the oldest nuts in the world
is the candle nut. which grows in the
Pacific islands. The name is derived
from the fact that the kernel is so full
OF oil that when dried 1t can be stuck
In reed and used as n candle. The
natives OF Hawaii roast these nuts,
and after removing the shell reduce
the kernel to paste, which, when
seasoned with salt and pepper. is re-
ported as making an appetizing dish.
The husk of the nuts and the gum
which exudes from the tree have me-
dicinal values. while the burned shell
is used in making an indelible ink
with which tattooinC is done.-Ameri-
can Fruit and Nut journal.

Jersey Freight Clerk.

worse. One morning recently the Of

vicious kick with his bad leg and a
gray streak shot through the air. He
hobbled to a chair and sat down with
a few stirring remarks about cats and
rheumatism. A few minutes later he
gritted his teeth hard and arose. He
shook his leg and feebly smiled. Then
he walked like a drum major across
the floor and boisterously shook hands
with himself. The sharp twinges had
disappeared and there has been no
recurrence OF pain. The clerks doc

for an explanation OF the sudden cure

rheumatism was probably caused by
twisted ligament. The kick at the cat

r;ter a Festive Drink in Russia.

The habit of ether drinking is ex.

Russia, as OF East Prussia, and all
the efforts of the authorities to COM

habit prevails may be gathered from
reports given in the Russian newspa-

Ether is drunk by farmers on festive

ing the ether into bottles a violent ex-
plosion took place, by which six chill

less severely injured.-Family Doctor.
