Paid Up.

A year or two ago the son of q
prominent banker of Iowa undertook.
with all the brashness and confidence
of youth, the launching of a new morn
ing paper In a town already well sup
piled with newspapers.
1t was understood by his friends that
the young man had, in fact, started his
enterprise on "a shoestring"-a few
hundred dollars advanced by his ia
Their. So it was with much facetious-
ness that the youthful proprietor and
editor was approached from day to
day by the aforesaid friends. $50 you
call yourself an editor!' exclaimed ont
of them, with affected contempt.
"Of course l do" returned the brash
young owner. "I'm the whole thing ON
this paper. And l don't owe a cent
therefor"
Everybody knows" continued his
%tormentor, 'that you got 5000 from
your father to start the thing"
"Surer' said the proprietor and edi-
tor. Furthermore, the old mans sub
scription for the Beacon is marked
paid a hundred years ahead on my

Pepsin, Saliva and Gastric Juice.

Pepsin, the principal agent In the d.
gestion of food, is a powerful solvent
stored up in the walls of the stomach
and only poured forth when its assist
ance is needed. When pure, this fluid
is perfectly neutral, neither acid nor
alkaline, and appears to be unable to
exert any action without the presence
Of an acid. Such acid is supplied in
the gastric Juice, secreted by the gas
trio follicles covering the coating of
the stomach. The saliva is merely for
the purpose of moistening the food,
thus preparing it for the action of the
pepsin and gastric fuids.-New York

A CEYL0N PLAGUE.
The Land Leeches Are Worse Than the
Snakes or Mosquitoes.


1t Is nearly always the case that ex-
ceedingly beautiful countries are over
run by different kinds of pests. Beau
tiful Ceylon has mosquitoes said to be
the most adroit and audacious in the
world and snakes and a thousand more
plaques of poor human beings, but the
worst of them all Is a species of leech.
The Ceylon land leech is a thin crea-
ture about two inches long and very
nimble and flexible. 1t will crawl up a
mans leg and, travelling underneath
the clothing. will climb as high as the
throat. These leeches do not crawl like
the leeches that are known to medi
lille, but real themselves up on theiJ
tails to watch for prey and walk off to
attack 1t with amazing rapidity. In
walking through the jungle hosts OF
them may be seen by the roadside.
where they wait to victimize cattle.
Horses, it is said, are driven half wild
by them, as also are %palanquin bearers
and coolies, whose bare legs are their
favorite resort, the mems hands being
too engaged to pull them off. The
leeches may be see hanging round
their ankles, from which tiny trickles
of blood run over the foot.-London

Shawls.

An Indian or a Persian shawl used
to be considered one of the finest femi-
nine possessions in the world, and they
were handed down from mother to
daughter as priced heirlooms. But now
If you gave a young woman even a
very elegant shawl, costing possibly
hundreds of dollars. as many did, she
would turn up her beautiful nose at it
and if she used it at all would make a
portiere out of it for her cozy corner.
She would never think of wearing it,
even if it were the only thing she had.

BACK FROM EUROPE.
The Right Kind Of Homecoming and
the Wrong.

The position of persons who have
just returned from a trip to Europe is
extremely difficult. If 1t Is their first
trip, the most delicate management
will not keep them out of sSrapes. For
a full month their popularity is at
stake, and 1t Is three months before
they know whether they have lost or
regained their friends. If they come
out of the ordeal well. every one adj
mires them with renewed vigor. for
they have proved themselves to be of
rare metal. If they do not educate
you, If all conversational roads do not
lead to Rome. then they are worthy of
your best friendship. If as they
leave the ship they say. al wonder If

who came to meet them: If as they en-
ter their home they exclaim, II was

with them, and n regrets every min.
ute that they were away.
But-and 1t Is so large a buff they
regard you as the only people they
have seen who did not interest them
enough to make them exclaim, "Oh,

has been cruelty warm here" they an

your heart drops down to your boots
and you know what is in store for you.
When you say, The cream Is not very
thick" they are bound to answer, "The
cream was remarkably thick in Scot
land, but quite horribly thin in Ma
PIES" Your regret at the cars not
coming brings out of them: "They have
cars in Rome now. I wonder when we
will have as good cab service here as
they have In London" You think 1t
may be the WEAKNESS Of travel, and
you say: 81 know you want to get into

Lona FIiahts of Birds.

Birds Of passage make their longest
fight somewhere lei Boring strait.
A naturalist says that probably the
longest continuous fight made by the
feathered travellers In their peregrina-
tons is accomplished "a ONE of the
shore and water birds hat nest in the
islands Of Boring sea and spend the
winter at Hawaii and Tanning island,
1900 miles away. AS some Of the birds
live entirely on the shore and are
probably unable to rest on the surface
of the water, they must accomplish the
whole distance in a single fight, yet
they make their way to their destina-
ton with absolute precision.-Chicago

Salt In cookino.

If n portion of a vegetable is cook
ed in pure water, the other half in
sailed water, a decided difference is
perceptible in the tenderness of the
two. Those boiled in pure water are
vastly inferior and in many cases will
be almost ~tasteless. Salt brings out
the delicate flavor Of caulifiower, cab
bage, potatoes, peas, beans and prac-
hcally all vegetables. Onions cooked
In water without salt can be rendered
almost ta~steless. As salt increases the
temperature of boiling water, its cook
ing advantage is at ono apparent.

A FLYING MACHINE.

Amusing Toy.

Directions For Making a Pretty and
Amusing Toy.
A feather flying machine is a very
simple thing to make, but 1t will only
fly up, as there are no wings to sup
port it when flying horizontally. The
motive power is furnished by a whale
bone bow, which causes the aerial
screws to revolve as 1t unbends.
For this model you will need eight
feathers. They should be carefully Sc
lected of the same size and shape. The
best are good stiff wing feathers. From
them form two screws by sticking
them in corks, as In the illustration.
One must be arranged to revolye to the
right, the other to the left, because the
bowstring turns the upper In one direc-
ton, while the reaction tends to turn
the lower in the opposite way. and IL

Use American grated cheese and

THE END OF THE WORLD.
A Theory That 1t Will Come by Fire
Caused by Friction.

AS to the length of time the earth is
likely to last, the calculations are that
1t will not cease to be active for a good
many millions of years, such activity
not, however, necessarily supposing
that life as we know it now will al
ways be possible, the eventuality of a
universal ice age being always a on
tingency that may occur again In the
history of the globe.
1t is interesting to note that In this
connection a Swedish mystic called
Stromberg has declared hat the world
would never know another Ice age, but
that it wa 10Y running out its course
I'd W suI
W lid endure asS&y448 IRE burned In
thA earth's bowels-that is, until the
whole mass shall have become solidi-
fed. The internal fires, he said, pro-
vided the link which maintained the
earth in the suns sphere of attraction.
When this attraction shall fail, the
earth, according to the Swede, will
cease to revolve and will fall away,
only to disappear by fire caused by
friction, thus verifying the Biblical
prophecy. AS. however, the process of
cooling down entirely will take some
billions of years, the V person
will note that there is really no imme-
date cause for alarm. New York
