Froude's Youthful Terr0rs.

OF the youthful hardships endured
by James Anthony Froude a biogra
pher says: "Conceiving that the chile
wanted spirit. Hurrell. his elder broth
er, once took him up by the heels and
stirred with his head the mud at the
bottom of q stream. Another time he
threw him into deep water out Of a
boat to make him manly. But he was
not satisfied by inspiring physical ter
ror. Invoking the aid of the preternat.
ural. he taught his brother that the
hollow behind the house was haunted
by a monstrous and malevolent phan-
tom. to which in the plenitude of his
imagination he gave the name of Pc,
ningre. Gradually the child discover
ed that Peningre was an illusion and
began to suspect that other ideas OF
Hurrelrs might be illusions too"

How Exclamation Originate.

"Halloo" and "hurrah," which are
among the EXPLANATIONS in common
use. can be traced to curious origins.
The author Of The Queens English"
tells US that the people Of Carnwood
forest. Leicestershire, when they wish
TO hail any one at distance call out
not ''halloo." but ''halloup." This, he
takes 1t, is a survival Of the times
when one cried to another a loup, a
loup." or. as we should say. a wolf.
a WOLF 'Hurrah." according TO high
authority, is derived from the SIavonic
''huraj." to paradise" battle cry
which voiced the prevailing belief that
all soldiers who fell in the fight went
straight up to paradise. - Pearson's

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Some people are simply acting nat
ural when they are kicking.
Do the right thing by all of your
friends. and you haven't anything but
the core of the apple left
People with real troubles do not care
as much for sympathy as they do to
have their trials as inconspicuous as
possible.
When a man says that he has not a
friend in the town where he lives you
can depend on it that the town is not
to blame.
Don't forget that your actions are
measured as critically all through life
as is the borrowed butter you return
to neighbor.
With all due consideration for the
sober second thought, we notice that
the longer we aim the more liable we
are to miss the mark.-Atchison Globe

SNAKES OF SARAWAk.
The Pythons Are Enormous and Feed
on Pigs and Children.

Pigs and Children.
In the SaIawak Gazette is an article
on the snakes of that part of Borneo.
Of the poisonous reptiles it says: The
cobra (Nata tripudians) is a black
snake which raises its head to strike
when irritated, at the same time eX-
panding the hood at either side of the
neck. 1t spi1s at intruders and Kisses
like a cat, whence it is known as
''ular tedong Inlss:" in some parts, too
as "tedong mata hari." The word ste
dong in Sarawak is apparently ap-
piled to all large snakes which Malays
consider to be poisonous, and, as our
Malays are but ill acquainted with
these animals, quite a number Of large
but harmless forms are designated by
this term. The hamadryad (Naja bun
garus) is a brown snake, considerably
bigger but rarer than the cobra. 1t is
rather shy, but when cornered, like
the cobra, it raises its head and ex-
food is chiefly other snakes.
LESS dangerous than these najas
are the vipers, of which the most
common species is the green viper,
which reaches a length of two feet or
more. The head is large and shaped
like an ace of spades. This creature Is
a tree snake and very sluggish. The
'bungarus' are Of several species. one,
Bungarus fasciatus, of length up to
four feet, being black with yellow
rings. 1t is called the 'ular buku tebu'
Sugar cane joints by natives. There
are also sea snakes of many species.
The tail of a sea snake is fattened
and oarlike."
Sarawak has other snakes: "Of the
pythons there are two species. Ply.
thon reticulatus grows to an enor-
nous size, over twenty feet 1t is
very fond of pigs, but varies its diet
by various animals, including even
children. The oil of this snake is used
by Malays as an embrocation for
bruises. The other species of python
Python curtus, is interesting in that
it's flesh tastes like that of fowl-at
least, SO Dyaks say, and they are au
thorities On snake flesh, for they eat
q number of the large snakes"

WHEN WE STAND UPRIGHT.
Special Complex Mechanism ycna-
bles Us to Do 1t.

bles Us to Do 1t.
We are so accustomed to standing
upright as a natural attitude that few
Of us think what a special complex
mechanism is required for this pur-
pose. A moments consideration will
show that the ordinary explanation of
the erect position the center of gravi-
ty to be directly above the feet is in
sufficient. When a man Is suddenly
shot, whether from the front or behind,
he drops on his face, for the truth is
that there is much more weight in the
front Of the spinal column than be-
hind it,
The fact is that when we are stand
Ing a large number Of powerful nus
cles (both front and back are stimuli
taneously at work. the effects of their
action being to neutralize each other.
Thus the legs would fall forward We're
it not that they are kept vertical on
the feet by the strong tendon the
"Achilles'o at the back of the heel.
At the same time the muscles of the
thigh are frightened so as to prevent us
taking a sitting position, and the mus
Giles of the back are pulled tense so that
the trunk does not stoop forward. The
head is prevented from dropping on the
chest by the ligaments in the nape Of
the neck.
That the upright is not its normal
position is easily shown by the fact
that a man mods as he Is falling asleep,
for as soon as the controlling nervous
force is deadened the head drops for
ward by its own weight, only to be
pulled back into position again with
jerk when the brain becomes sud
denly aware of an unusual attitude.

Thermometer GOES TO
96 DEGREES IN SHADE
One Prostitution From Awful
Heat Today.

At noon today the mercury, goaded
on by Old Sol. rose to 90 degrees in
the share. No one knows what the
temperature in the sun was-no man
or thermometer had the nerve to in
vestigate. Today was by far the hot
test of the year. But few people ven
tured on the streets and those hunted
the shady spots.
Only one case of heat prostration
was reported that of Thomas Nc
Carthy, father of John F. Mccarthy
who was overcome with the heat this
morning while crossing the Doran
bridge. He is about sevent.'five years
old and makes his home with his son
on South Twentieth street. His con-
dition is quite improved so that he is
able to be up and about this after
noon.

WON ON A BLUFF.
The Way One Prosperous Merchant
Got His Start In Business.

wv sfiS SNafh IN
There is a prosperous merchant in
Chicago today who owes his success TO
his donation of a 5000 organ 10 a
church at a time when he didn't have
money enough TO buy hand organ.
This donation was case OF bluff pure
and simple, but the bluff worked and
resulted in the subsequent wealth OF
tne i-cky buffer
John Smith was seeking capital to
start in business Icr himself, but as he
had no security worth speaking OF he
could not borrow the money he needed.
When he had tried every person he
could think of who would be likely to
have the necessary cash and the inclf
nation to lend ii and had been turned
down, he conceived the idea of present
ing his church with an organ.
Young Napoleon John Smith there
fore ordered his organ and allowed the
future to look out for itself. The man
ufacturers of the organ never thought
of questioning the financial standing
of the philanthropist who was handing
out $1,000 organs and agreed to have
the instrument set up in the church op
time.
or course j. Smith was not a bud
that was born to blush unseen, nor did
he hide his benefcence under a bushel
He managed to bring in at least the
flute stops no matter what the subject
of conversation. Not only did the
young Napoleon advertise himself by
means of the church organ. but the
nlea Sed minister and the enuaIIy Meas
ed congregation spread the news of his
gift.
During this time John did not allow
any alfalfa to grow under his feet. On
the pretense of consulting some
wealthy member of the congrega ton
about some minor details Of the organ
he would drop into an office and be-
fore he left casually would mention the
subject of the company that he was
forming. Most of the men that he thus
saw thought that it would be a good
thing to be associated with a man who
was making so much money that he
was able to hand out 5000 without
missing 1t. so that all were anxious to
take stock in ]. Smiths company.
Long before the time came for the
first payment on the organ Smith had
gathered enough money to start his
business and was doing SO well he had
no difficulty in borrowing the amount
needed to make the payment From
that time he has made money so fast
that now he could give away several
5000 organs and pay for them as
well.-Chicago Tribune.

The curious little animals known as
flying lizards (Draco volans) are only
found in Java. and their strange ap-
pearance is supposed to have been the
origin of the dragon of the medieval
eastern imagination. The reptile is like
an ordinary lizard. but is provided with
folds of extensible skin which are
spread out by the long ribs and enable
the animal to glide through the air from
tree to tree in pursuit of the insects OF
which it preys. When lying prone OF

Attorneys, court officers and other
friends of Fred Ellis, Richmond boy,
who was sentenced from Eaton, Ohio,
for grand larceny, may be able to Sc
cure the young mans release from the
Ohio state penitentiary. 1t is believed
by hundreds of his friends that the

the pardon board will grant the re-
quest of the petitioners and free the
