Why the Judae Paid.

A physician, says 4 medical journal
that vouches for the truth of the story,
was once summoned in haste to attend
the child of family that lived in two
rooms in the heart of large American
city-not New York. The child had
been seized suddenly and seriously
and just at election time. The mother
was in despair, and when the doubt
full prognosis was given she broke
into wailing and violent self condem-
nation for some horrible sin Of the
family to which she said the child's
illness was due-a direct punishment
for their crime. She would go and
curse the magistrate for it all, her
husband should resign from ''the
force" and such evil ways should be
renounced forever.
Curious to know how the magistrate
could be held responsible for the
childs illness, the doctor finally Sc
cured the confession that the crime Of
the poor. conscience stricken woman
consisted in allowing the names Of
many fraudulent voters to be regis
tered as residing in her house, in
swearing to the lie, etc. The magis-
trate also had demanded this of all
the neighbors in return for indescrib-
able political favors.
The child recovered, and the magis-
trate paid the physicians bill.

Bernard Shaw is thus immortalized
by Charles Hawtrey, the well known
English comedian: "Once on a time
l had mad desire to produce Shaws
play Of You Never Can Tell I wrote
to Shaw and asked his permission. He
answered that he would come and
read it to me. He did and began by
saying that sometimes he thought it
was the best play that ever was writ
ten and at others he considered it the
greatest trash. Anyhow, he was Of
opinion that it was pretty poor play
and that If 1 produced it-well, must
take the consequences. Some time
afterward l asked Shaw if I could
compress the last act. lie declined to
allow one line to be altered or cut out.

at last to tell him that couldn't pro-
duce the play. His answer was:

A DANGEROUS Subject.

Professor Henry Drummond when a
boy discovered that he could hypnotic
people. At birthday party little
girl declined to play the piano. Drum
mond happened to catch her eye and
said, 'Play." To his surprise she rose
at once, went to the piano and played.
At another time he hypnotized boy
and gave him poker for gun.
"Now," said Drummond, ''I'm pleas
ant. Shoot me-" The boy did so, and
Drummond fell to keep up the illusion,
whereupon the boy, seeing the bird
move, was about to hit it over the head
with the poker. The hypnotizer had

A Very Restfu! Rest.

Adolf Menzel. the German artist, was
at one time engaged on mural deco
ration. He had rigged up a scaffolding
in his studio, on which his model was
requested to stand. For two long
hours the poor poseur stood up aloft
in most fatiguing posture. Menzel
in the meantime worked at his sketch,
needless of the fact that his model was
growing tired.
At length the model found it neces-
sary to speak. Herr professor" said
he, "how about recess?"
Menzel apologized profusely for hic
forgetfulness. Certainly, certainly,
my dear SIR" said he. "Come down
and rest yourself bit"
The model had clambered from the
Scaffolding to the ladder, which led
down from it to the studio floor.
"Stopw cried the artist suddenly.
'That pose is fine! Don't move a mus
cler'
And once more the model was forced
into strained rigidity, while the enthu-
siastic craftsman set about sketching
him.
At the end Of half an hour Menzel
looked up from his work. "There,"
said he; "that will do nicely! Get back
on the scaffold. We have had our
rest. Let us get back to work again."
What the model said is left to the
readers Imagination.

Bridled Brides.

Western brides have an easier time
than their Abyssinian sisters. On the
occasion of her marriage an Abys-
sinian bride has to change her skin.
From ebony she has to become cafe
au lait. To accomplish this the ex-
pectant bride is shut up in room for
three months. She is covered with
woolen stuff. with the exception Of her
head; then they burn certain green
and fragrant branches. The fumes
which they produce destroy the origi-
nal skin, and in its place comes the
new skin, soft and clear as baby's.

"a Sound Box

Take an ordinary rubber band and
stretch it between the thumb and fore
finger Of your left hand. If you pick
it with the fingers of the right hand
and let go suddenly it will make a
sound which you can hear distinctly
enough yourself, but which will not be
audible to any one a few feet away.
But if you were to fasten the elastic,
with a pin at each end, to an empty
wooden box, only not so as to touch
the wood, and then twang it the sound
would be much louder than before.
That box is the sound box or sound
board, and all stringed instruments
have one in some shape or other-St.

MoNTAGNAIs INDIANS.

middle of August, when they are off

lutely nothing to do with the cultiva-
tion of the soil. being hunters In the
strictest sense of the word. The In
dams who hunt about Lake Mistassini
form a subtribe by themselves, hav
ing the same name as the lake, and
their summer rendezvous is at the
Hudson Bay company post ON the
lake. Those who hunt south of Mis-,
tassini on the shores and tributaries
of the Ashuapmonchouan river bear
the name of that stream. Those on
the Nekonba river bear its name, and
those who hunt nearer Lake st. John
are known by the Indian name of that
lake, Pikonagami All of these bands
rendezvous on the west shore Of Lake
st. John. at Pointe Bleue, where the
government has set aside reserve
and attempted to colonize the hunters
and teach them to become farmers.
East of Lake st. John Is the Chicouti
mi band, now much reduced. and
southeast of them the Tadousac band.

uted over the French Canadian dis

The natives consume an enormous number of these flowers, whosD pale yellow corollae are pulpy and thick, and they prepare them in various ways.
 When they are fresh they are put in cakes, to which they give a sweet flavor. but they are more especially used for making bread after they have been dried and reduced to flour. By allowing them to ferment kind of wine is produced. and by distilling them brandy is obtained of which the Hindoos are very fond.-Vulgarisa- ton Scienti6que.
