Flat Fish for Low Water.

Carnegie lake" still continues to be
a source Of interest both to the Stu
dent body and the townfolk of Prince.
ton. Discussion never wanes as to the
advisablity of the college going in for
rowing, sport in which it may event
ually hope to vie with the crews that
row on the Thames or the Hudson
But lately new suggestion has been
made in the university town as to the
wisdom of the plan of stocking the
sheet of water with fish. Now, 1t must
be known that the new lake is sv
tremely shallow, Its greatest depth be
ing less than four feet. When the
matter Of piscatorial interest was first
under discussion, one undergraduate
almost put the subject to death by re
marking:
We'll. II they must put fish in tbs
lake they will have to limit the kline
to founders. Any other sort OF f1sl
would either scrape themselves to
death on the bottom or get sunburnt
on their backs"

FORTUNE TELLERS IN EGYPT
Found Everywhere, But Luxor Seems
Their Natural Home.

Everywhere in Egypt one will find
fortune tellers, but no city boasts
more for its size than Luxor. Those
who read the future with sand are in
the majority. They sit cross-legged
ON the ground and mutter prelimin-
ary jargon. Finally they lift up the
sand, and as it trickles through their
fingers they claim to see the life OF
their patron revealed. AS none of
the prognosticators speak English, and
1t falls to the lot of the dragoman
to translate, it is difficult to place the
credit of shrewd guessing where it be
longs. At Luxor, as in all cities along
the Nile, water for domestic purposes
Is carried from the river bS the
women and young girls, and no more
Interesting phase of everyday life Is
seen in Egypt than the evening process
sion of trailing robed figures, man,
Of which now carry large Standar%
OIL cans instead of picturesque jars
upon their heads. The hotels at LUXOR
are all situated on the river bank
within few yards of the water, and
1t is the delight of the guests to sit
On the broad verandas and watch the
natives who bring up water to irrigate
tie lawns and to sprinkle the dusty
roads.-Harriet Quimby, in Leslie's
Weekly.

PUSHED HER POWER TOO FAR
Young Lady's silly lnsistenoe Cost
Her Wealthy Husband.

Wilbraham Bootle, a young English
man, handsome, clever. of high social
position and immensely rich. fell in
love with a Miss Taylor. who could
bring her husband nothing but her
pretty face Wilbraham Bootle, how.
ever, aspired to obtain her hand, and
easily obtained her consent. The
marriage day had been fixed. At .
great dinner at Lord Camelford's the
conversation turned upon an ascent
that had been made In the morning
to the cross upon the dome OF ST.
Peters. To reach the cross it was
necessary to pass outside the hall.
Wilbraham Bootle said that he did not
possess a steady head, would never
be able to reach the cross, and that
nothing in the world would induce him
to try.
Nothing in the world?" said Miss
Taylor
Nothing, l assure YOU"
What not even II were to ask
you?"
You would not ask me to do thing
FOR which l frankly admit my dislike. "
Excuse me, l do ask you, l beg of
you, and, II necessary, insist"
Wilbraham Bootie attempted to
laugh the matter off, but Miss Taylor
insisted. Notwithstanding the inter
ference of Lord Camelford.
The whole company met two days
following at St. Peters to watch the
performance of the task imposed upon
the young man. He performed his
trial with great GOODNESS, and when he
came down the triumphant beauty
came toward him with outstretched
hand; he took her hand, kissed it, and
said: Miss Taylor, l have obeyed the
whim of a charming girl. Permit me
low in return to give you a piece Of
advice. II you wish to keep youi
power never misuse it. | wish you al
prosperity, and now good-by."

good fortune had happened to him; he
had been given position that counted
for a lot. and his home paper had
printed an item about It Wanting to
tell me Of his luck, he had clipped the
item from the sheet, pasted it on .
piece of paper, and forwarded 1t to me
with his initials scrawled across the

Air Brush in Painting,

The compressed air spray has been

pable Of great variety of applications
The air-brush can be used Tor ordinary

Petroleum Forty Centuries Old.

Though it is only within recent
times that petroleum has become an
article of commerce. there is abundant
proof that 1t was used in the arts 40
centuries ago The mortar used In con.
structing the walls Of Nineveh and
eahvlon had petroleum mixed with it
FOR the purpose of securing greater CO.
hesion and excluding dampness.
Traces of the bituminous matter are
very distinct in the ruins, and the
existence of petroleum springs at Is,
some hundred and twenty miles from
old Babylon, indicates one source Of
the supply. In the ancient history of
several eastern countries allusion Is
made in unmistakable terms to the
existence of petroleum springs.-New

QUITE A VITAL DIFFERENCE
Gulf Discovered Between "SystemA
tized Charity" and Christianity.

A Chinaman who was kindly dis.
posed had dog. He loved dogs. One
evening he cut off the tail Of the dog
and ate it for supper. 1t was a sweet
little dog-so he gave it the bone for
its supper.
A Caucasian who saw this said.
you are pauperizing that dog. Provi.
dence in its infinite wisdom committed
that tail to you-as trust. We would
have inquired il the dog was a de-
serving dog and Investigated as to
whether he had other means of sup
port, or relatives who would take care
of him; if we found that he had none
we would have tabulated his case and
iudiciously given him one joint of the
bone per week"
The Chinaman asked: SIS that the
Christianity"
We'll, no. it is not exactly Chris
tianity," said the Caucasian, but an
outgrowth of it, which we call 'Sys.
tematized Charity"
Said the Chinaman: THAT Is better
than heathenism-it is cheaper

Stomach Self-Protectinp.

The reason why the stomach and in.
testines do not digest themselves was
once thought by Weinland, German
experimenter, to be that they defend
themselves by anti-enzymes, or anti
ferments. Dr. Nandor Klug of Buda-
pest now reports these anti-ferments
not to be found, but that the mucin
present in the inner half OF the gastric
mucous membrane resists the diges-
tive action of the trypsin and the gas
trio juice. The digestive organs, there
fore, protect themselves by the mucin
they secrete.
