BIood-sweatine Htppopotamu..

At times the hippopotamus exudes
what has been described as a "bloody
sweat" Microscopically examined, the
emulation is found to consist of great
number of minute colorless bodies re-
sembling the colorless corpuscles Of the
blood and a smaller number Of pink
colored bodies made up Of some crystal
line substance forming clusters of rod
like and triradiate form. These, be-
coming dissolved, give the surrounding
fluid medium a deeper pink color than
that observable before dissolution took
place. Both the colored and colorless
matter appear to be exuded by special
pores in the skin, which display activ-
ity only Immediately after the creature
has left the water.

testing them. One of the most recent
is patented by a Minnesota farmer.
1t consists of wooden frame or cas-
ing across the top Of which is leather
support for the eggs, the latter resting
in flexible apertures. In the bottom Of
the casing is an inclined mirror.
Mounted on the upper part Of the
frame Is a light rejecting hood in
which is placed a lamp or other suit
able illuminant. In operation, eggs
are placed over the aperture, and the
light falling on the eggs will cast a
shadow upon the mirror if they are I'M

dicated by the clearness Of the light
that falls through them upon the mir

ADJ USTABLE CASE has taken aNayer OF
adhesive asphaltum compound and
fastened a row of strips Of wood across
the back, to give it strength. These
ribs, so to speak, are close enough to-
gether to protect the adhesive strip,
yet far enough apart that the strip
may be rolled in a circle, If need be.
To make packing case with this de-
vice all that Is required is roll of the
adhesive and some round or rectangu-
lar ends for the case. The pieces of
wood for the ends are placed along the
edges of the adhesive, which is rolled
around them, clinching tight wherever
it touches. A few nails can be driven
in, if desired, but they are not neces-
sary, as the roll which forms the sides
Of the case will keep its position with
out them and in rough handling, too.

AZTEC TRAITS.
Not Only Great Soldiers, but Great
CuItivatOrs as Well.

Not Only Great Soldiers, but Great
CuIttvatOrs as Well.
The AZtecs of old were not only great
soldiers, but also diligent cultivators Of
the soil, and had acquired considerable
proficiency in agriculture, although they
had no horses, oxen or other animals Of
draught. To this day the men earn
their living chiefly as day laborers in
the fields now owned by the Mexicans.
The staple product now, as Of yore, is
the maize, and next to it tho maguey
or agave, the sweet sap Of which is the
principal material for the famous Mex
lean pulque. Some species are culti-
waited as vegetables, others for the sake
Of their leaves, which yield a strong
fiber that can be woven into fabrics.
Hence the saying that the agave sup
plies the people with drink, food and
clothing. The men have little ambition
to excel in handicraft. Farriery and
carpentry are about the only trades
they care to take up. In the cities they
work as porters, carriers or peddlers In
a small way.
Like all Southern Indians, their COM
plexion is of a ruddy chocolate brown,
and they are not particularly good look
ing. Most Of the women now have large
hands and feet, probably the inherit
ance Of generations of hard workers.
And they are strong. In the warehouse
Of a wine merchant an Aztec porter
was seen to take O cask Of claret on
his back and carry 1t quite a distance.
The load certainly weighed not less
than 400 pounds, and no white man
would have thought of lifting 1t. The
law requires the people in the cities
to forsake the Indian breech-cloth ana
poncho and assume the regulation garb
Of the poor working class Of Mexico
the wide, loose trousers Of cotton cloth
or manta, with Jacket to match-but
the breech-cloth Is worn outside Of the
trousers and thereby replaces the CIV
ilized uspenders.-Southern Workman.

''The world is too vast to be revealed
TO any single intellect" declared Profes'
sor George Herbert Palmer Of Harvard
In an address at the University Of Chi
cago. 1--WE must have partition.
Bacon said: I take all knowledge for
my province He who says that In our
day is not Bacon. He is fool. With
out specialization no man can reach the
limit Of his powers" This reminds US
Of very bright essay by George Eliot
intended to illustrate the encourage
ment that research received In England.
The hero was a pleasant little fellow,
versatile and blessed with friends, but
there was a feeling that he ought to
concentrate, and, as the author says,
In an evil hour he did concentrate. He
became completely absorbed In some
unpronounceable line of research, and
developed a great theory, which, un-
fortunately, was at variance with the
ideas Of the particular savant who was
an unimpeachable authority on the sub
ject. The results for the man who con-
centrated were truly tragic. He was
loaded down with the contempt Of the
learned and then the wits Of the news.
papers made a laughing stock OF him.
But he could not save himself by "un-
concentrating" He was still possessed.
He became q bore to his friends, fail
ure as breadwinner. There was moth
ing in his mind but the eternal subject,
and, to fill his cup Of bitterness to the
brim, the great authority stole his
theory later, proclaimed it as his own
and received the worlds applause.
Concentration is a good thing, but the
fitness to concentrate deserves little
attention, and there may be some Ques-
ton about the rewards. Furthermore,
it is well perhaps not to be absolutely
exclusive. If 1t is foolish to take all
knowledge for our province 1t is wise
to strive for breadth enough to avoid
destroying all conversation with u
speciality. We have known erudite per-
sons who brought melancholy upon the
gayest circles because they had to un-
fold themselves like the Ancient Mari
ner, but with a theme far more deadly
than the albatross. For dramatic In
terest attached to that unfortunate bird
and his story is told In verse that is
hard to forget. There is nothing in it
to induce stupor.

A SUPERSTITIOUS ARMY.
..s.4.***.ss..s**.*.**#***
~oo0oooo@~

Some time ago a number Of Swat
chiefs came from their South African
country to lay their grievances before
King Edward. If the political super
stitions of the people are as vivid and
effectual as those of their military de-
partment, many difficulties must be en-
countered in dealing with the nation.
Dudley Kidd, in. his book, 1.-THE Es.
tial Kafir," describes the Swat army
and the easy check which can be put
on it's action.
1 saw the Swat impi, or army, on
parade, and during sham fight. The
sight was impressive.
The men were dressed in special
colors, the shields of the regiments
being made from hide, in one case Of
brown cattle, in another of black, and
In still another of black and white.
The warriors wore rings Of hide Of
the same color over their shoulders.
The masses of men raced over the
ground with earth-shaking tread,
chanting their war-song. They came
like a whirlwind, dancing up in the
air at parts of the chant. Now and
then they stopped to spear an imagin-
airy foe which they had trodden down,
every man plunging his assagai into
the ground with a great whir.
They speared the foe again and
again. 1t was not a case of thrice
he slew the slain;" he did it a dozen
times, Dragging loudly of his prowess
and bravery. Whir-whir-went the
assagais, accompanied by a similar
sound from one thousand deep-throat-
ed voices. Then all would jump and
yell and stab the fallen foe again.
Having finished, they resumed their
march, and their tramping ranks
sounded like "some deep multitudinous
murmur that swells from the soul of

chine which has not been materially
improved from time to time.
To the fast operator the shifting Of
the carriage by the hand, as done at
present, means the loss of a great deal
Of time and the speed record could be
greatly increased if some means Of
throwing the carriage over to the be-
ginning Of the line could be devised,
without the necessity of taking the
hands from the keyboard.
Such a scheme is the invention Of a
Havana man who has recently secured
a patent on it in this country. A large
key raised slightly above the level Of
the keyboard occupies a position di-
rectly under the wrist. When the end
of the line has been reached ii is only
necessary to rest the wrist for an in
slant on this key, when the carriage is
carried back to the start, ready to be-
gin the new line.

Rntine against Venezuelan ports has
been declared on account Of the bu-
bonic plague, and an appropriation has
been made for the determination of the
Cuban rats.

F1sHERMAN's BODY IN ICE.
Found by Sailor After Being Undis-
turbed for Five Years.

Found by Sailor After Being Undis-
turbed for Five Years.
Had Ole Sjostron's tomb of ice on an
Arctic island in the Behring Sea re-
NAMED undisturbed 100000 years, at
the end Of that ponderous stretch OF
time the face and form Of Ole would
have looked as natural and lifelike as
at the moment of the fIsherman's death.
Five years ago this young Norwe-
gian, Sjostron, disappeared from Bar
anoff station. Nobody knew what be-
came Of him, and finally people ceased
to wonder. A few weeks ago the body
was found completely imbedded in the
Ice and SO thoroughly preserved that
not even the slightest indication of
change had set in.
The barkentine City Of Papeete mas
arrived from Baranoff, and the news Of
this remarkable discovery was brought
by her first mate, Knute Peterson.
Five years In the ice," said Peter
son, "has not made a bit Of difference
In his appearance. When they found
him he looked as though asleep, but
sure enough, ne was cold in death
even more SO than the ordinary dead
man. They suppose that he lay down
on the glacier while intoxicated and
fell asleep and that after he had frozen
to death the Ice formed over him."
Strange as this story may seem, the
incident Is not strange to those VINO
know the Arctic Ice fields. Bodies OF
the mammoth have been found similar
ly imbedded in the ice.
The sailors information about the
finding Of Sjostron's body is meager,
but 1t is presumable that instead OF
being caught and imprisoned In the gla-
cial ice the fisherman died on the soft
soil Of the tundra and that his body
became covered up and frozen with it.

MEDITATIoNs OF A sPINsTER

When a girl is not sure whether she
loves a fellow or not it means that
there is another one lowering near.
Astonishing how even a dumb girl
can be cute enough to act so as to
make the man believe who has sue
ceeded in kissing her that he is the
greatest conqueror In the world.
Sometimes even when a man is in
love with his wife he has moments
when he feels as If he would like to
see If he could be as successful as usual
with love affair.
Real happiness is when you are pref
ty near certain you are going to miss a
train and don't.
Funny that girls folks hate to have
her sit up late with a man before she
is engaged to him and positively forbid
it after she is engaged to him.
Whether a woman trusts to luck or

Inherited by his wealthy father some
years ago because he changed his re-
liglous creed, and went from one de-
nomination to another About half Of
bis fathers estate has recently come
to him through the death of his moth
er, but that is hardly an equitable So
luton OF the problem involved. What
right has a father to disinherit child?
No matter if tile child be not all that
he should be, It must never be forgot
ten that its parents are responsible for
its appearance in the world. Unless
one believes in the theory OF reincarna-
ton, it must be admitted that no man
or woman ON earth asked to come. All
births, then, have been the result of
n physical necessity, and parents
should never be allowed to forget the
fact. 1t may be that our laws Of in
heritance are stupid. Perhaps 1T would
be better for the human race if all be-
quests to individuals were made small.
But so long as our Inheritance laws
remain on the statute books a man
ought not to be permitted to dover
