The Human Temperature.

Put to the test of the thermometer,
it appears that the normal tempera.
ture of the body is almost invariablc,
regardless of latitude or season. Put
ting the bulb Of the thermometer un-
der the tongue of an Eskimo at the
frozen north or of man under the
blazing sun of the tropics, we find that
in each case, the body being in state
Of health, the temperature is about the
same, the difference not amounting to
a degree. We may say absolutely that
the average normal temperature Of
human being is about 9S.5 degrees
F., just as we may say that at sea
level water boils at 212 degrees F.

Tortoise That breads Rain.

The tortoise is not an animal one
would naturally fix upon as likely to
be afraid of rain, but it is singularly so
Twenty-four hours or more before rain
falls the Galapagos tortoise makes for
some convenient shelter. On a bright,
clear morning when not a cloud is to
be seen the denizens of tortoise farm
on the African coast may sometimes
be seen heading for the nearest over
hanging rocks. When that happens
the proprietor knows that rain will
come down during the day. and, as
rule, it comes down in torrents. The
sign never fails. This presensation, or
whatever you may call it, which exists
in many birds and beasts, may be ex-
planned partly from the increasing
weight Of the atmosphere when rain Is
forming, partly by habits of living and
partly from the need of moisture,
which is shared by all.

Caustic Whistler.

Whistler's caustic wit Is shown by
the following anecdote:
"Of one who was held to be Eng
lands most brilliant young artist, Yes,
he said thoughtfully, he's clever, but
there's something common in every
thing he does, so what's the use Of
itr"
Like many great men, he had but
little time for any but his own work.
"He told me story demonstrating this
most clearly. His "Nocturne In Blue
and Gold. Valparaiso" was in the Hill
collection in Brighton. Mr.. Hill had
two gsSeries and a well known collec-
ton. eventually sold at Christie's.
Whistler went down to see Mr.. Hill.
and said he:
al was shown into the galleries and
Of course took chair and sat looking
Mt my beautiful "Nocturne." Then. as
there was nothing else to do. went
to Sleep "-Sidney Starts Personal
Recollections Of Whistler in Atlantic.

A COSTLY MAI.
Slumber That Led to the Death of
King Charles !.

In the middle of Holborn once stood
an inn, the George and Blue Boar, and
there took place an incident which en-
tircl. hanged the whole tale of Eng
lands history.
AS twilight was falling in October,
1913. a very tired post boy mounted
.on sweating horse pulled up outside
the Old inn. The lad knew nothing of
the importance of the letters which lay
in his post bag His orders were to
convey them TO point on the Great
North road, where he would be met by
other messengers.
But Cromwell's spies had followed
him from the south coast, for eng
lands liberty depended upon his dis
patches miscarrying. The boy had
some supper and afterward fell asleep,
his head pilowed on his post bag.
While he slept Cromwell's men took
the bag and found in it a letter from
King Charles /. 10 the Scottish gener-
ais arranging for his rescue, an imme-
date advance OH London and the ar
rest and execution of Cromwell and his
friends. That same evening Cromwell
had the fatal letter and determined on
Charles death.-London Tit-Rits.

EPICURES STUDY HOTELS.
Then They Go One Place or Another,
as Fancy Dictates.

as dnCJ OiCtateS.
Epicures accustomed to dining in no
tells and restaurants study the policy
of each fashionable place and readily
tell just why they go to one place or
avoid another They have their likes
and dislikes, aside from actual eati. e
regarding the walters, the music, tie
ventilation and q hundred and oGe
other things Il casual visitor woU.d
fail to appreciate.
For instance, at one restaurant only
single portions are served for one per-
son. AT another, where the cooking is
equally good, half portions, nearly or
quite as large as the single portions Of
other places, are served for one per-
son. There was little dispute ut
well known hotel over a mistake in IN
order of trout and chicken that made
a difference of several dollars OH Il
check for a rather simple dinner for
two. 1t was settled "out of court" as
it were, and quite agreeably, but hotel
managers regret and try to avoid these
mistakes, especially when the customer
is regular visitor, for they know he
never forgets the details Of his eating
and Is slow to forgive an error.
Another popularity Of diners is as TO
the location of tables. Some persons
cling to one table and feel aggrieved
when they find another in their favor
lite seat. Restaurant proprietors have
tried to understand this popularity of
their patrons, but have to admit they
fail to explain it.-St. Louis Republic.

BURIED HER VOICE.
Why Pauline Lucea Never Sang Aftei
Her Husbands Death.

Great stage artists die twice-the
first time, when they take leave of the
stage and set aside the harp; the sec
ond time, when, like ordinary mortals
they go the way of all fiesh-and who
knows but this last act Is not more
bearable, not less dreadful, than the
first. when, after all the binding glory

act was of long duration-nearly TWEEN.

glory and to become acquainted with
the bad memory Of mankind. IlSa
1Iorwiz- Barnay tells this story in con-
nection with a visit which she made
to the Lucca home in Vienna: 81 ask
ed, DO you ever singT No! No!
Neverv she almost shouted. Il never
sing, for lost my voice, lost it sud-
denly, by suggestion, through the will
of another After being urged to ex-
plain she exacted a promise of secrecy
until she was no more and said:
You know, my husband, the Baron
Won Wallhofen, was sick for long
time and heard little singing. When
did sing for him 1t had to be an old
song which l disliked, but he was
fond of it because of It's words. One
evening we had few friends here.
He was feeling somewhat better and
had his chair wheeled into the draw
ing room. To please him ! sang his
favorite song. He wept with pleasure.

CURIOUS FLORIDA HERB.
Red Plant Which Feeds Upon Ants
and Other Insects.


Almost everybody knows there are
such things as insectivorous or carniv-
orous plants, but 1t is doubtful If many
know we have any such plants grow
ing right here in southern Florida.
Nevertheless there is plant, or, rath-
er, herb, growing here which is really
insectivorous.
1t Is likely that on account of its be-
ing extremely small 1t has escaped
attention. In fact, 1t seems to have
been overlooked by the botanists also,
as we are unable to find It classed
among the sensitive plants.
This is an annual herb, and the en-
tire plant, including the flowers, is Of
a deep rich red color. 1t rarely reach
ed height Of more than three inches
and is never so broad. The leaves are
spatulate when undisturbed and pre-
sent many small fibrillae and secrete
at their tips tenacious fluid which is
capable Of holding the very small in
sects, such as ants and the like. upon
which it feeds. When any Of these get
lodged in the fluid and disturb these
fbrillae the leaves slowly acquire a
deep cut shape and sometimes curl
completely up over their victim. When
they have absorbed the insect they
slowly recover their original shape,
leaving only the skeleton Of the insect
remaining.
These plants grow on the very low,
fat, poor and sandy lands. They ap-
pear in the late winter and early
spring months.-Punta Gorda (Fla.)
