The mule refused te budge, and the slant of his ears told those of the passengers who were ia miliar with mule ear talk that where he was he intended 10 stay. Then the aged African who was trying 10 load him in said in honeyed tones:

Why shilling rather than neth- ing? Blackstone explains. The Ro. mans used to set aside wills as de ticient In natural duty If they disin- herited or totally passed by any child of the testator. But the smallest leg. acy was accepted as evidence that the testafor had not lost his reason or his memory. as the law otherwise as- stunned he had: hence the groundiess belief In Englsnd that father could not disinherit his child without Il shilling. although the English law knows no presumption of insanity or forgetfulness in such A case.

 Burstinu Balloons.

The greatest danger of high ascent in a balloon is concerned with the changing density of the atmosphere. On the ground the atmosphere presses on the balloon with weight of about fifteen pounds fer every square inch of its surface. As the balloon rises. however. the air grows thinner and its pressure becomes in consequence less aud less, As the pressure of the outside atmosphere decreases the bal loon expands. and if the ascension is made too rapidly or without sufficient care the gas inside the silk envelope will expand until the balloon bursts. But the bursting of balloon In mid air is by no means necessarily a fatal catastrophe. Every balloon is provid. ed with a ripping eords which. when pulled cuts long rent in the envelope eut of which the gas speedily escapes. The silk bag is then carried by the air into the upper portion of the netting. where in the majority of cases il forms a parachute and brings every thing safely to earth.

lsss Handed vitupsratisss.

Most counties iu England have their idiomatic expressions to denote left handedness. and they are often pre- fixed 10 the unfortunate left handed child's name. In London the term is kack handed. the word being aiRo equivalent to awkward. In LAnca- shire 1t Is k-pawed. In Yorkshire gal lock or gawk handed. an expression dating back te at least the seventeenth century In Drrbyshirr arr used the terms keg handed cork handed and corky handed. while in the Teesdale district ruddy handed is commssa and In Sottingha mshire wallet handed
 In the south of England special terms to denote Jeff handedness are also found In Dorset it Is scrane handed and In pevenshire eoochy handed. In Scotland we find gawk handed and in the west cawry handed In Ireland a left handed man Is called a kithogue. Tim Healy used this word in speech at East Wicklow. in which he said that Mir. O'Kelly could fight with his left hand and had already given his opponent some .kithegues" that would spoil his political beauty during the contest.-Iondon Chronicle.

FATIGUlNG SLEEP.
Avoid Muscular Strain and Rest the
 Mind at Night.

Avotd Muscular Strain and Rest the
 Mind at Night.
 Que of the most skilled of trained nurses thinks "fatiguing sleep all ex- haustng habit to which many women are addicted. They do not know the full meaning of natural sleep. They do not realize that they are no longer dead weights on the bed. They try to hold themselves instead of letting the bed do Il.
 This authority goes on to say to women as well as men that they must give up working themselves to sleep if they would receive any benefits. She thinks the especial point of trouble is the spine. The perfect position in which to get complete rest is to be sure that the spine leans against the bed and that 1t touches at both ends.
 She says there are few women who have not half dozen muscular strains upon their bodies while sleeping. but the strain oh the spine because of in correct posture is the most important and injurious.
 The usual complaint. .I can't stop thinking" is not. to her mind. the trou- ble of sleeplessness. If the muscles are entirely relaxed one can think all one wants to- When the body is com pletely easy the mind will follow suit. So watch yourself ifzyou fnd you arise tired in the morning or do not sleep restfully at night.
 Put all your thoughts on letting go your muscle strain. Find just where the trouble is. You may think you are quite at bodily ease. and upon careful investigation you will discover that your knees are drawn up. your feet contracted. your hand is clutching the pillow Then quickly let go. Like ev- erything else in life, the trained facul- ty of knowing just where the trouble is makes you apply the remedy.
 When you find your mind catching on to every new thought. direct its fe- verishness to the working out of muscle relaxation II will have so much to do that when its object is achieved 1t and the body will sink into complete rest.

4 chinsss supsrstitien.

Fengshui Is the Chinese superstition that determines good site or locality. and If . town on the Yangtss has not | good fe0sshui trade will not come to 1t and it will be ruined. A town named Peishih had its pagoda in the wrong place-not far enough down the river-and the result was that all traf- hc which should have come to 1t was swept past. Peishih being left out in the cold. The people pulled down the pagoda and built another one in the supposed right spot. as nothing would convince them that the depression could arise from any other cause than that of bad fengshui.
 The city of Wanshein. on the other hand, has a perfect fengshui. two fine pagodas. and is very prosperous. But the fact that Wanshein is situated in a fertile valley, where wheat. barley and the poppy flourish abundantly, while Peishih Is barren and miserable. does not concern the inhabitants so much as the fengshui site This re markable Idea in the Chinese mind is only one of thousands like 1t.

 The women who ask for suffrage are dazzled hy word" says Mrs. Gil der. They attach to the franchise value that in their case would be ac- uuouss fer they would hold their right only by the force of the men who were willing 10 defend that right. If men should see 1t te withdraw. women would scarcely be able to exercise their rights. They would have to ap- peal to the stronger sex"
 Mrs. Glider thinks, furthermore. that women are mentally disqualified for government. If men have bur dened themselves with the state" she says. they have left women free to De their critics. their intelligent ad- visers, How is 1t that if they have . real sense of government they have not been more felt?'' Mn. Glider cannot but think that there is some thing fin the nature of women which made the founders of the republic in- different to their help in the govern ment of the republic"
 Then she has a personal objection to votes for women. to her the strong est argument of all: "To make little men Of women is so ugly. so intensely inartistic." To her mind all arts. and the greatest of all. the art of living. "are. in the hands of woman.
