The Arab Marc.

The Arab is regarded as the first Of
horsemen and the Arab mare as the
perfect steed. The Arabs idea Of
horse tanning Is Of the simplest. The
colt is treated from the first as q
member Of the family. 1t goes in and
out of the tents and Is so familiarized
with the doings Of that extraordinary
creature, man, that there is never any
need Of breaking 1t In. The Bedouin
Is very careful of his mare. He does
not mount her when he, sets out to
play his usual tricks upon travellers.
He rides a camel to which the mare
is tethered. Not until the caravan is
in sight does he mount the mare and
give chase. There Is, by the way, an
impression that the Bedouin is q
bloody minded person who would as
lief take your life as not. This is I'M
fair to him. He is thief of very
peaceful inclinations and much pre-
fers to effect any necessary transfer Of
property with as little bother as pos
sible.--London Graphic. ~ +.

The Poor Ensign.

The following story Of German mill
sary oficialism is published in Lon
don: One Ensign Flugge claimed COM
pensation for damage to kit caused by
a mouse having gnawed a hole in his
best tunic. The officer who had to de-
eide the point dismissed the claim and
ordered the ensign to be severely pun
ished on the ground that, contrary to
orders, he had hung his best tunie ON
a nail when going on guard at night
in an inferior garment instead of pack
ing 1t in his knapsack, thus enabling a
mouse to gnaw hole in it without
having to overcome the slightest i'm
pediment." Ensign Flugge appealed,
and on further hearing it appeared
that the officer who first dealt with
the case was mistaken In the facts,
the tunic having been slowed in a
knapsack at the time when the mouse
defaced it and not hung upon nail.
The first decision was therefore set
aside by higher authority, and Ensign
Flugge was ordered to be severely
punished for having slowed his tunic
In his knapsack instead Of hanging 1t
on a nail, thereby giving opportunity
to the mouse to knaw hole In it ''un-
der cover Of the darkness" The senti-
ments Of Ensign Flugge are not re-
corded,

Curious Ceremony Attended by Thou
sands ct Pilgrims.
Thousands of pilgrims from the va
rious outlying villages and other parts
of the Hooghly district poured in from
an early hour H. Cha morning to the
temples Of Jageras.sa.
The image Of the god 10 placed in
q conspicuous part OF the temple, SO
that it can be viewed atsan advantage
by the immense crowd Of pilgrims,
and there at certain fixed hour the
bathing ceremony commences.
The most curious part of the festi-
val Ii that water is not poured on the
image Of the god until a certain small
bird 10 found sitting on the topmost
banner Of the temple. There Is pop
ular belief that the bird comes from
Puri, the famous place OF Hindu pill
grimage. TO Mahesh on the day of this
festival, and his very presence is an
indication that the ceremony should
commence. Immediately after the
bath Ii over the bird disappears.

PhiIanthropic Missrs,

f. "a ~ =
In several remarkable cases real phi
lanthropy has been miser's motive
lin spending and saving to grotesque
degree. Thus when the first Pasteur
institute was suggested in Paris to
keep green the memory Of the world
famous scientist a poor wretch who
lived in utter misery came forward
with subscription of $500. And
when the city officials called upon him
with a message Of thanks they found
him in an evil smelling Stun behind
the Cathedral of Notre Dame. When
the door was opened the miser philan-
thropist was found quarreling violent
ly with his miserable looking serv-
ant for throwing away a match that
had not been burned at both ends. A
similar case, but on a much larger
scale, was that of Jacques Gurgot of
Marseilles. Every one in the city knew
and hated him for yhis Incredibly sor-
did life, yet when the old miser's will
was proved all France was amazed to
find he had left $25O,OO0 to his native
city especially to furnish the poor
with a good and cheap water supply.
II know" the old man wrote, "that
$4,000 Of our citizens died Of the
plague during the epidemic Of .172O,
which was generated by the noxious
efiuvia arising from filthy streets that
were never cleansed." - New York

A Poor Bath.

A Frenchman was talking in New
Fork about the excellent bathing
beaches of America.
.'There are no such beaches in Eu-
rope" said he. aAnd the sea over
there is not so pleasant to battle in.
Frequently, you know, great pipes
empty sewage into it. They who stay
late for the bathing in Nice, for in

but it resembled soup or something

PROVED A POET.
A Youthful Experience Of John Green
leaf Whittier.

A Youthful Experience Of John Green
M leaf Whittier.
John Greenleaf Whittier used to de-
clare that at very early age he knew
himself to be real poet and would
often relate, writes Mrs. Abby j. Wood
man in her "Reminiscences Of Whit
tiers Life at Oak Knoll an amusing
experience when he was student at
the Haverhill academy. Mrs. Wood
man gives it in Mr. Whittier's own
words:
There is but little doubt that at the
age Of twenty 1 felt myself to be a
real poet, somewhat unknown to fame,
but sufficiently acknowledged as such
by the committee directing the dedica-
ton of the new academy for them to
invite me to read an original poem on
that occasion.
Robert Dinsmore, an old Scotch
farmer in Windham and writer Of
rhyme and doggerel verse, was also in
yited to do the same. The honor Of
leading the procession which marched
through the streets Of Haverhillrto the
new academy was given to the two
poets.
I often laugh when | recall the scene
to memory. The hale old Scotchman,
short and plethoric, his uncertain step
and bearing slightly exhilarated by a
generous draft of old Scotch whisky
before we started. was somewhat OF
contrast to me, rather tall and slen-
der Quaker lad in Quaker hat and
coat and half frightened out of my
wits by the honor heaped upon me.
However, we delivered our poems all
right. and l am thinking that must
have been the time when was dubbed
'tthe Quaker poet"

A STRANGE LAKE.
Sulphur islands Acid Waters Will
Eat Up Beats. 2

Sulphur islands Acid Waters Will
Eat Up Beats. 2 e
A strange lake exists in the center
Of Sulphur island, off New Zealand.
1t is fifty acres in extent, about twelve
feet in depth and fifteen feet above the
level of the sea. :.... ..
The most remarkable characteristic
Of this lake is that the water contains
vast quantities Of hydrochloric and sui
phuric' acids Kissing and bubbling at
temperature Of 40 degrees f.
The dark green colored water looks
particularly uninviting. Dense clouds
Of sulphuric fumes constantly roll off
this boiling caldron, and care has to be
exercised in approaching this lake to
avoid the risk of suffocation. On the
opposite side Of the lake may be seen
the tremendous blowholes, which when
in full blast present an awe inspiring
sight. -
The roar of the steam as it PUSHES
forth into the air is deafening, and
often huge powders and stones are
hurled out to height of several hum
dred feet by the various internal forces
Of nature.
A boat can be launched on the lake
and IL proper care be observed the very
edges of the blowholes may be safely
explored.
Some idea Of the strength of the acid
saturated water of this lake may be
gathered from the fact that boat al
most dropped to pieces after all the
passengers had been landed. as the
rivets had corroded under the influence
Of the acids.

Strange Race of Ancient Britons.

r Among the races of humankind
which away back of history's records
passed like clouds over various parts
of the earth one Of the most puzzling
to ethnologists is that of the early
bronze age men who dwelt in Aber-
deenshire. Scotland, and are supposed
to have constructed the special forms
Of stone circles whose remains are now
found there. These men differed sig
nificantly. says J. Gray. from all the
prehistoric racial types previously de-
termined in Britain. They were re-
markably broad headed, and their av-
erage stature was only five feet three
inches. us shown by skeletons. The
British neolithic race was markedly
long headed. and the bronze age race,
which built the round tumuli. was also
long headed and TALL

INDIGESTION GOES
in FIVE MINUTES

The question as to how long you
are going to continue to suffer from
indigestion and stomach trouble is
merely a matter of how soon you
begin taking Diapepsin.
If your stomach is lacking in di-
gestive power, why not help the
stomach to do its work, not with
drastic drugs, but a reinforcement
OF digestive agents, such as are
naturally at work in the stomach.
People with weak stomachs should
eat Diapepsin after meals. and there
will be no more indigestion, no feel
ing like a lump of lead in the stom-
ach, no heartburn, sour risings, gas
on stomach, belching of undigested
food, headache, dizziness, or yomit-
ing, and besides what You eat will
not ferment and poison your breath
with nauseous odors. All these
symptoms generally result from a
sour stomach and dyspepsia are gem

eating one Triangule Of Pape's Dia-
pepsin.

and you VIII always go to the table

How We Fail AsIesp.

1t is not generally known that the
body falls asleep in sections. The mus
cles of the legs and arms lose their
power long before those which sup
port the head and these last sooner
than the muscles which sustain the
back. The sense of sight sleeps first,
then the sense of taste, next the sense
of smell, next that OF hearing and last
" that of touch. These are the results
OF careful and lengthy Investigation by
a French scientist, NJ Cabanis.
