Few people know how to cough
properly. 1t never occurs to the
ordinary individual that there is a
right way and a wrong way of doing
it, Yet it is a matter of no small
Importance. If every sigh means a
drop of blood out of the heart, as
people say, every cough means some
greater or less proportion of time
knocked off ones life. Most people
cough as loudly and forcibly as they
can. But it is rather costly noise,
for the single reason that it hears
and indames the lungs. The lungs
consist of an extraordinarily deli
cate spongelke tissue, which some
times gets inhamed and choked
with phlcgm. When we try to get
rid of this substance we cough. But
obviously If we remove it violently
we must necessarily iniure the del
icate lung tissue. Therefore trair
yourself to cough as gently as pos

Chemists Show Bottles.

Formerly apothecaries used a red
light as a sign of their trade Now,
it happened one night that a drug
gist, finding himself without the
necessary red light, made shift with
bottle of red liquid placed in the
window with a candle behind it.
The effect was so good that he put
a similar decoration in another win
dow. The sign was excellent-so
excellent that a rival apothecary
tried to improve upon it for his
own benefit His idea was to place
a bottle of yellow liquid beside the
red one, and then he surpassed his
former effort by adding a bottle
containing green to the other two.
The red, yellow and green made a
fine show, and every druggist in the
town followed in the wake of their
more enterprising rivals. In course
of time the bottles were replaced by
the magnificent colored vases which
are now familiar sign everywhere.

comparatively common. In Java

other hard substances removed.
The clay is then made into small
tablets or cakes about as thick as d

WHEN A PYTHON KILLS.
Painless Death Without Terror For
che Serpent's Prey!

When | was youngster in India
a friend gave me an Indian python.
1t was tame to handle, but it was a
dull, uninteresting thing, and we
used to leave it undisturbed in its
resting place, an old beer chest, with
bars at the top. 1t was over ten or
eleven feet long, so it was never ex-
tended. 1t used lazily to change its
position, but seemed to prefer com
plete rest even wnen wakeful. We
used to give it six live rats of Sun
day. When not having been fed for
week, it would be moving about,
but was never quick and lively.
One rat at time was put into the
cage and never seemed scared or dis
turbed, but just moved about in the
open places and sometimes even on
the snake. The latter for a time
took no notice. Then it would wake
up and slowly work itself into posi-
ton with more motion, particularly
in the head and neck for about two
feet.
The quickness with which it then
struck and seized its prey was won
derful. In less than a moment the
rat was tackled into a fold and
squeezed tight, being instantly kill
ed without any apparent fear or an
ticipation of death. 1t was far more
merciful and natural than a steel
trap.
After waiting several minutes be-
fore changing the position to feed,
The python would slowly move and
get the dead rat straight end on, re-
lax its grip and gradually swallow
the prey until it came to the first
kink at the end of the first fold,
when the position had to be changed
to pass the rat farther down, the
same process being repeated with
each rat, getting slower at each
mouthful until it had swallowed. five
1t never ate the sixth, which was the
perquisite of an expectant terrier
and had a more painful end 1t was
plain to see how many rats had been
swallowed by the bulges in its
length. 1t would be torpid till Fri
day, gradually wake up and be hun
CRY Sunday.
Can there be any doubt, with its
rapid movements and constructing
power, the python's victim is in
stantly caught, enveloped in a coil
and at once killed? No snake can
afford to risk struggle, for if the
skin is injured, the natives state, no
snake RECEIVERS from such wound,
for the ants and flies will torment
it to dcath.-London Field.

Drawn BEAT STEAM.
ODD Contest In the Early Days Of
Steam Fire Engines.


In what are sometimes called the
halcyon days of the volunteer fire
department of New York there was
prejudice against the use of steam
power on fire engines. The New
York fremen still believed in the
work of ready hands and proved
their sincerity by challenging an
Ohio inventor Of steam fire engine
named Latta to a public trial of
strength and excellence in the city
hall park. The challenge was ac-
cepted, and the engine reached New
York on Feb. s, 1855. On the next
day in the city hall park in the
presence of 10000 spectators the
trial of skill took place, At the re
quest of the common council the
Exempt engine company entered the
lists with hand engine No. AZ, the
old ebay wagon" and proceeded to
compete with the Latta steam en-
CINE
A match was applied to the kim
ding wood in the Ohio steam en-
CINE, which in eight and half min
utes began to pump and discharge
water through two large suctions.
The ebay wagon, led off by throw
ing a stream of water toward Beck
man street through one and one
eighth inch nozzle, the steam en-
CINE following with a stream in the
same direction through a one and
five-eighths inch triangular nozzle.
When measured, the stream of the
former was found to be 1S9 feet
long and that of the latter 1872 feet.
Again the competing engines play
ed. At distance of about 200 feet
a party Of small boys stood in the
street tauntingly demanding to be
drenched. The Cincinnati engine
unsuccessfully endeavored to graft
fy them, but when the New York
engine began to play they fled in the
midst OF a deAchlng shower bath.
Cincinnati was beaten by fifteen
feet.
Then a third trial was ordered.
Upon the roof of the city hall $50
feet of hose was hoisted and the
pipes pointed upward toward the
figure of Justice on the cupoIa Pull
ing themselves together for last
great effort, the New York exempts
manned the brakes. For a minute
the two streams remained at equal
height. Then, amid unbounded APP
plausc, the New Workers sent their
stream clear above that Of their con
testants and kept it so until the end.

FAMOUS SCHOLARS.
Men That Might Have Been Called
Human EneycIopedias.


1t has been said Of Macaulay that
not only did he retain in his pro-
digious memory all that he had
ever learned, but that he had learn
ed all manner of things no other
scholar would have retained. Aside
from his astonishingly comprehen-
sive grasp Of many branches OF hui
man knowledge, he was specially
proud of the fact that he knew
whole Libraries by heart. 1t was his
boast that In the event of a whole
sale destruction of certain classics
he would be able to supply the def
cheney out of his memory. 1t was
claimed among other things that ne
could recite Paradise Lost" with
out moments pause for refreshing
his recollection and that to reel off
all the plays of Shakespeare was
only child's play to him.
Another English scholar of as
tonishing erudition was Ly1tbh.
Stanley, of whom Lowell said, Gle
knows three times as. many facts as
any man whatever bad any bust
ness to know"
Stanley is said to have had only
one rival, Palgrave, the compiler Of
''The Golden Treasury" Its an
even chance which will return
alive" was said when Stanley and
Palgrave went on a trip together.
When they did come back, it is re-
lated, Palgrave was pale, emaciated,
silent. But Stanley seemed unmov-
ed and more all knowing than ever.
Another human encyclopedia was
Buckle, author of '.The History Of
Civilization" One night, it is said,
he was laying down the law on sun
dry topics with a pomposity that
caused the table to quake. At last
he. put forth some statement about
the burning of a witch, setting the
date about century out of the way
Stanley, who was present, had borne
some preceding inaccuracieSA very
well, with only shaking Of the
head and reddening Of the face.
But at this juncture his self con
troll gave way and he leaped to his
feet. Extending his hand, he piped
forth in a vigorous treble: Il beg
your pardon, sir, but the last witch
was burned at such and such a
place, in such and such circum-
stances. And her name was So-and-
so, and you will find all about it in
book to which | can easily refer
you and which you evidently don't
know"
And SO torrents of imprisoned
knowledge were poured on Buckles
head until the historian of ciyiliza-
ton sat wrathful, extinguished,
mute. But in little while he had
; his revenge. Some one had men
toned a new dictionary as a good
one. at is" said Buckle most sol
emnly, cone Of the few dictionaries
