The southern woman's reduction to

In some parts of France walnuts
form regular article Of diet. The
peasants eat them with bread that has
oftentimes been rubbed with garlic.
The hygienic effects are considered
good, replacing meat to large extent
These nuts are also used to make oil.

ployed to adulterate the latter. The
prisoners In certain prisons are en-
gagged in cracking walnuts and picking
out the kernels, which are pressed into
oil.

Love PotiOns.

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

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 the wooden image OF the
black boy was the favorite sign Of
the tobacco dealers. Later the Gus
tomary sign was the highlander or q
figure Of Sir Walter Raleigh. In Hol-
land. for some strange reason, the to-
bacconists adopted the dairymaid as
their sign, with the motto, Console
lion for sucklings" The Indian, nat
urally enough, has. always been the
predominant sign IN this country, al

type crops out with the ancient black

The Human Electric battery.

The superstition that human beings
should sleep with their heads to the
north Is believed by the French to have
for its foundation 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 a man who was guillot1ned.
This was taken the instant it fell and
placed upon a pivot free to move as 1t
might The head part, after a little
vacilIation. 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 the final arresta-
ton of organic movement.

HOW LONG the B1la Last.

A dollar bill has an average life OK
about fifteen months. Two dollar bills,
not being quite so actively used, last
on the average more than sixteen
months. A five dollar bill lives on an
average two years before, it Is worn
out and the government is called upon
to replace it. Ten dollar bills last about
three years and twenty dollar bills
more than four years.-Youth's Com

MADE THE SONG REALISTIC.
contralto's Musical Efforts Accom-.
panied by the Living Article.

Alice Sovereign had trying expert
ence recently in Pittsburg, her recital
ending with little tragedy, the dra-
mats personae of which we're the con-
tralto and bluebottle fly. The re
frain of Nevin's "Yearning" had just
been reached and Miss Sovereign in
her most appealing tones was entreat-
ing, "Oh, fly with mel" when the blue
bottle, accepting the invitation, ap-
peared. Refusing to be brushed aside,
it buzzed bnthely about the singer
pretty face and with commendable
taste remained IN the vicinity OF her
lips. "Oh. fyl oh, fyl" continued Miss
Sovereign, a bit TREMENDOUSLY. Buzz
was the noncommittal answer. "Oh.
hyl" confined the contralto, on low
that gave very little hint OF her
trepidatton. And then the worst hap
pened. Without pausing to reflect. the
fly impulsively rushed into the breach
and disappeared. 1t was critical
moment for both, but Miss Sovereign
proved equal to the emergency. With
out wincing, and with excellent
breath control, she aided the intruder
in its downward Journey, and con
claded the song with q clear, mellow
and truthful, "Oh, fly with metz The
incident was unnoticed by the audi
ence, bat Miss Sovereign still has the
hy-ln memory, at least.

RIsmarek,s ElahtIeth Birthday.

When Prince Bismarck was so years
old he received an immense number
of congratulartory birthday messages
by wire and post The staff of the
tiny postoflce at Friedrichsruh was
raised to 80 officials for the birthday
week. while the telegraphers had at
their disposal five direct wires to Ham
burg and four to Berlin. From March
20 to April / the number of kilograms
received gradually rose from 102 to
4.122, with 1926 words. During the
whole period close upon 1900 tele-
grams. aggregating nearly half mil
lion words, were received and for
warded. In the same period there
arrived 979 ordinary parcels, 225 regis
tered parcels. 995 registered letters
and about $50, 700 ordinary letters and
book-post consignments. The only tel
egrams to which immediate answer
was necessary were those from royal
ties. The only other so honored was
one from school children In England.

Exercisinr Dogs.

Never take your dog out for run
directly after he has had a meal. If
the exercise is at all hard the food will
remain undigested for hours. 1t Is best
not to allow dog to play even directly
after he has swallowed his dinner. In
little time he can do SO, but do not
encourage him to romp about.
