Moose Are Exceedingly Fond of These
 Pretty Flowers.
 At first thought it would appear i'm possible that such large, gaunt deni- zens of the forest as moose could in any way be interested in flowers. They are, however, exceedingly fond of all kinds of water lilies. Few people know that these flowers grow from thick snake-like root stocks which are 80 firmly attached to the bottom that the strongest man cannot loosen them. It is from these firmly moored root stocks that the much admired leaves and flowers strive toward the light.
 A we'll known naturalist who studied the habits of the animals in northern Minnesota, where moose are more nu- merous than in any other part of the world, often found two or three big bulls engaged in gathering their morn ing meal on the lake bottom. The great beasts would slowly stalk about in three or four feet of water, and often their heads would be under water for half a minute at a time, so that their backs would look like powders just prOtrud1ng from the stream; then a pair of magnificent antlers would come up, and the water would be shaken out of the big ears with flap ping noise that could be heard for quarter of a mile, and then the big, long muzzle would be leisurely chew ing dripping mouthful of water lily leaves and other plants gathered from the bottom.
 So intent were the huge animals on gathering flowers that several times the naturalist could row up close enough to secure a good photograph before they splashed noisily back to the shore and disappeared in the black spruce. When the moose find a good lily pond they continue feeding in. it until the plants are almost exter- minated Journal.

Don't Live In New Houses.

Why is new house unhealthful' That is q question which has beer asked by many and answered by few And yet the reason is obvious. Tn the construction of just one medium sized house 1t is estimated that over 30OO( gallons of water Is used. This water does not evaporate so quickly as fl would in the air and sunlight, but lies near the surface of the earth and un der the house and in the walls of the cellar; hence the house is damp, and damp houses foster illness. A house that has been standing for a year or so is much more healthful than a new one.-Minneapolis Journal.

Sixteenth Century surasrx.


 Surgery in the sixteenth century was by no means the refined and gently humane science of the present day. Anaesthetics and antiseptics were un- known, and the operating theater was often just where the poor patient fell, In one of the many battles in which the fighting Duke of Guise engaged he was knocked down by an arrow from the enemy's ranks, which pierced his head between the nose and one of the eyes. Pare, the famous French sur. geon, was on the field, and he immedi- ately put his foot on the dukes face and drew the arrow out by sheer brute force. The operation 'nconvenienced the duke somewhat. but he survived il and lived to be assassinated. >s Itching piles prov ke profanity, but profanity won't cure them.

EtOn Slang.

Every public school has its own pc culiar customs and slang, but Eton seems to be particularly well supplied in this respect. At Harrow it is or used to be the height of cheek for boy to turn up his trousers till he had been three years In the school. At Eton it Is just the other way, and 1t is part of the school etiquette for boy to turn up his trousers. to keep the bottom of his waistcoat unbuttoned and if he has need to use an umbrella never to roll 1t up.
 Some of the so called Eton slang is common to other schools, but most of it Is only to be understood of Etonians. "Sock" as a noun means food of all kinds; as a verb it is equivalent to ito give" "Scug'' is primarily boy who has no colors, but it is more particular ly applied as a general term of abuse. "A cool" at football is a hard kick by one of the forwards. A tug" is of course colleger, and ''tosh pan" is & sort of footbath. ys@
