The Haicyon.

The kingfisher is the halcyon Of the
ancients, who attributed to its spirit
after death the power Of directing the
course Of the winds. The week pre-.
ceding and the week succeeding the
winter solstice comprise the fourteen
days that were known as the haicyon
days. and it was during this time that
the sea always remained extraordi
narily calm In order that the king
fishers might more easily build their
strange nests.
To their dead bodies was attributed
the power Of giving peace and plenty
as we'll as strength and beauty and all
the necessaries Of happy existence.
They were also supposed to be able to
turn aside the thunderbolts, and there.
fore any house in which one was kept
was perfectly safe from lightning. In
some parts of France even to this day
they are often called moth BIRDS" on
account of the supposed power which
their dead bodies have to drive away
and keep away moths from wooden
cloths.

o. X. and Its Origin.

There have been many theories
advanced as to the origin Of the ex-
preston o. K. Some of them have
been partly correct, and some have
not. Over a century ago a great
deal of the best rum and tobacco
came from Aux Cages, which was
pronounced 0. T., and the best of
anything was said to be o. K. The
meaning of this phrase is still re-
tanned and figures largely in the
business world. No doubt many
have thought that o. X. came from
"Oll Korrect." During the cam
paign of General Jackson his en-.
eroies did all in their power to in.
jure him in the eyes Of the people.
Once he signed some papers and
wrote after his name, "This is o.
r." The Democrats took up tho
phrase and said that it was an alb
breviation Of the customary indorse.

rect" They put it on their ban.
ners. and the meaning "Ou Kor.
rect" stuck to the letters.

Let kodol
Digest What You Eat. Then You Can Eat What
You Like

You once could eat anything you
wanted, and your stomach would
digest it.
But now there's some things which
your stomach won't digest. Your
stomach absolutely refuses to accom-
modate you when you eat certain
food-so you have been forced by your
stomach to eat food which you de-
tested, and pass up those delicacies
that you would have really enjoyed.
There is now q way to eat any
thing you like, if you will let
Kodol digest it.
Kodol will do this, too. It won't
talk back or command, but will &c
right ahead with its work and digest
all the food you eat. Kodol will let
you eat anything you like.
Kodol will do exactly what your
stomach does, when your stomach is
we'll and strong, and more, when it
is tired or out of order.
Kodol is composed of exactly the
same juices as found in healthy

MORBID JEslovsY.
A Disease That, Unless Il Is Killed,
VIII Ruin Any Life.

A Disease That, Unless Il Is Killed,
Will Ruin Any Life.
When man is afraid to remark
at the breakfast table, even mildly
and casually, that, from what he
had heard, Cleopatra was beauti-
full woman it is fair to assume that
the specter of constant jealousy
dwells in that household. When q
wife fears to look at the moon be-
cause she may be accused of admir-
ing the man in it the husband needs
to be gently reminded that he is
taking a very rapid short cut to kill
ing the love he seems to hold so
sacred. Love is fed by confidence,
trust, faith and serene, restful rei-
ance, but morbid jealousy is q poi
son Of doubt, suspicion and injus-
tice that dulls the love it does not
deaden.
Jealousy is a disease that can DO
cured only by the object, not by
any one else in all the world. No
matter how gentle, kind, forbearing,
forgiving and forgetting the object
Of it may be, this in itself will not
cure the attacks. The subject
whose heart is thus swayed by fierce
gales of jealousy must first awaken
to the folly of it, the injustice of it;
must be conscious Of the trail Of
bitterness and unhappiness it brings
TO both, must realize the cruel con-
tinued assault on the tolerance,
love, loyalty and patience Of the
other and when the next attack
comes seek by strength Of will, by
force of character, by every weapon
in the armory of the soul, to kill
the feeling. Jealousy must be killed
in the thought. In the mind, the
battle-ground Of the soul, must the
fight of determination be waged.
In the thought must the jealousy
be neutralized by faith, conquered
by justice and transformed by trust
full love into a rcstful, abiding conf
dence that only absolute proof and
certainty of just cause for jealousy
can ever reawaken. - William G.

was started on Jan. 81, 1876. At
that time Charles Dickens was ed
itor, his father, John Dickens, was
the manager, Douglas Jerrold was
assistant editor, and Bradbury and
Evans were the printers. Albany
Fonblanque and John Forster were
leader writer's, 'Father Prout"
(Mahoney) was Roman correspond
ent, and George Hogarth, Dickens
father-in-law, was musical critic.
Sir William Jackson, Sir Joseph
Watkins and Mr.. (afterward Sir)
Joseph Paxton were among the
principal proprietors.

NoIsELEss MOTOR CAR ENGINE.
An American Invention to BE Put on
the English Market.


the English Market.
There is the keenest curiosity
among motorists concerning the re.
ports of the Daimler company, which
Is said to be the nearest to perfection
Of any power producing mechanism
ever invented. The machine is the
Invention of an American, G. F.
knight. who has been working in
Coventry for some time past.
Technical experts who have seen the
motor say that it is remarkable
smooth and noiseless, simple in con.
struction and economical in operation.
But their opinions are by no means
unanimous as to it's possessing such
revolutionary features as will force it
into universal use.
The Daimler company, however, de.
clares that they are SO satisfied that
they have decided to abandon forever
the poppet valve type of engine.
In Mr.. knights invention the part
Of the engine liable to get out of or.
der and most subject to wear and tear
has been eliminated. In few words,
the invention is new engine cylinder
in which two cast iron sleeves or
tubes are made to work up and down
by means of eccentric coupled up
with the shaft. These tubes contain
slit-shaped ports, which come into
register at the necessary intervals for
the entrance and discharge of the gas.
The poppet valves hitherto invariably
employed for the admission of the gas
into tine cylinder and Tor the exhaust
are the cause of practically all the
nosie and vibration of the present day

fEIGNING DEATH.
4 Trick Resorted to by Animals &c
Shun Their Enemies.

4 Trick Resorted to by Animals &c
shun Their Enemies.
The feigning Of death by certain
animals for the purpose of deceiv-
ing their enemies and thus secur-
ing immunity is one of the greatest
of the many evidences of their in
telligent ratiocination. This simu.
lation is not confined to any partic-
ular family, order or species Of ami
NAL, but exists in many, from the
very lowest to the highest. It is
found even in the vegetable king
dom, the we'll known sensitive, plant
being an interesting example. The
action of this plant is purely reflex,
as can be proved by observation and
experiment, and is not therefore q
process of intelligence.
An experimenter. writing in Wis
sen fur ALE, says that he has seen
the feigning of death in some of
the lowest animals known to sci.
ence. Some time ago while exam.
ming the inhabitants of drop Of
pond water under a high power
lens he noticed several rhizopods
busily feeding on the minute buds
of an algo. These rhizopods sud-
denly drew in their hairlike filaria
and sank to the bottom, tc all ap-
pearances dead. The cause was
found to be the presence of a water
louise, an animal which feeds on
these animalculae. 1t likewise sank
to the bottom and after looking at
the rhizopods swan away, evident
ly regarding them as dead and onf,
for food.
This was not an accidental occur.
renee, for the observer has seen
the same wonderful performance
twice since. Through the agency of
what sense, he asks, did these little
creatures discover the approach of
their enemy? Is it possible that
they and other microscopic animals
have eyes and ears so exceedingly
small that lenses Of the very highest
power cannot make them visible, or
are they possessors of senses utterly
unknown to and incapable of being
appreciated by man? Science can
neither affirm nor deny either Of
these suggestions.
Most animals are slain for food
by other animals. Most of the car.
nivora and insectivora prefer fresh.
ly killed food to carrion. They will
not touch tainted meat when they
can procure fresh; hence when they
come upon their prey apparently
dead they will leave it alone and go
in search Of other quarry unless
they are very hungry. Tainted
substances are dangerous TO get into
the stomach. Certain ptomaines
render it sometimes very poison
GUS. Long years of experience have
taught this fact to animals, and
therefore most of them let dead or
seemingly dead creatures alone.
