Oriuin of Life.

Nothing new is to be reported uu-
der this head. The status of the an
cient problem remains the same. The
whence and what of life remain the
same impenetrable mystery. Where
life comes from and what it is after
1t comes no man can tell. This much,
however, seems to be generally accept
ed, thai life can come only from life.
Huxley declared, just before his de-
parture, that the idea of creating life
from nonvital matter was the dream
of fool, and nothing that has hap
pened since Huxley's death has served
to disprove the soundness of his state
ment.

Hill Billies l have seen boards some
feet long, a switch of the loose ends
hanging out from under the waistcoat.
Others braided the growth and tied it
around the neck, while still others
braided 1t around the waist, tying it

Of great Importance to the young girl
is thorough knowledge of the special hy-

modes of dress and habit and occupation
result in physiological evils. Young wo-

omission and commission which predispose
to infrmities and disorders of various

QUEER SLEEPING PLACE.

One Of the strangest difficulties the
railway people experienced in Korea
was due to the fact that the native
poor insisted upon using the tracks as
a sleeping-place on warm nights. The
Asiatics do not use soft pillow, such
as we employ, since that would dis
turb the hair which in China and
Korea, rs IN feminine Japan, Is put
up with great care and some expense,
and is expected to last several days.
A hard frame of wood is therefore
used, on which the neck rests. A to-
mato-can affords an excellent substi-
tute for pillow for poor man. The
cool iron rails, so neatly shaped In
regulation pillow pattern, seemed
just suited for use, and were quite
alIuring on a hot night.

STONES IN TREES.

Doctor Wilson of England recently
described some interesting facts about
trees and the manner in which stones
are often found in their roots and
stems Among them was the instance
of some trees growing in gravel pits
In Kent, which had SO maDy stones
Embedded in their roots it was almost
impossible to saw them In one speci-
men 81 f1ints' were found, the largest
weighing several pounds.
Near FaFersham are three old yew
trees in two Of which f1ints and frag-
ments of tiles have been seen seven
feet above the ground: In Molash
churchyard are other trees which have
ffints imbedded In their trunks as
much as eight feet above the ground.
The stones appear to have been car
ried upward with the growth of the
tree.

FISH DROPS FROM SKY.

The township of Red Bank, N. j.,
was the scene of a rather unusual oe-
currence one afternoon recently.
While Mr.. and Mrs. l. H. Alden were
chatting with friends on their porch
IN Broad street, they were startled by
The tapping of large weakfish, which
seemed to drop out of clear sky on
the green lawn. Then they heard the
cawing of fshhawKs and saw a large
hawk chasing smaller one which
had presumably caught the fish in the
Shrewsbury river. The weakfish made
= dinner for the Adlems that evening.

PRISON CELL ROMANCE.

An interesting story has come to
light of the way in which man IN
dergoing a sentence in Pentonville
prison, tanned and made a companion
of a pigeon One bitterly cold morn
ing Just before Christmas, whilst the
prisoners were at exercise, a pigeon,
half-dead with the cold, fell into the
yard. A convict picked it up, hid it in
his breast, and took it back to his
cell, where in the evening he shared
his food with the bird. Wishing to
keep the bird for company, he hid the
bird in his breast every time the
warder came round. Quickly the
pigeon became tame, and fast
friendship arose, which helped to pass
the weary hours of prison life. At
last, however, his secret became
known to his fellow-convicts, and one
man threatened to inform the officials
The man told his story to Saliva
ton Army officer who visited the
prison, and the latter advised him to
appeal to the governor, who, inter-
ested in the mans kind action, gave
him permission to keep the bird The
man has now been released, and was
helped into work by some kindly
hearted people who got to know the
little story of the pigeon.

IN WAR

night on their horrible head-hunting
expedition, for the wire has been
placed with such cleverness that they
never can tell when they are likely to
come into contact with it.
The plan of campaign at present is
to drive the savages into the noun
tains, prevent them from coming into
the low countries or near the towns,
and SO hem them in eventually by
the wire barriers that they will be cut
off from supplies and forced either to
surrender or die.
Hardly will this be regarded as
cruel, when the atrocities of the head
hunters are taken into account. Janan
could hardly be expected to view with
indifference such things ais have han
pened. In one case rebel raid on q

and decapitation of thirteen soldiers

really made their subsection harder
Jap generals say that If they were
united in some sort of bond to protect

them together in a big enough force
where they would dare a pitched hat

New York.-Romance set out to

still they may marry with every pros

Gannon's mother was persuaded to

be nice to have.her son and his daugh-

That arrangement pleased the young
people so well that in a little while
there was no doubt that the house
held two pairs OF lovers.
While pleased that their children
got on well together, the elders
looked with dismay on love-making
between them and took them to task
for 1t, protesting that they were
brother and sister and had no right
to fall in love. This view of the

SWANS DEADLY DUEL.

An astounding duel to the death
between two swans was fought on the
river Weaver, at Northwich, England.
A fortnight ago magnificent male
swan, who exercises seniorial right
on the river at that place, resented the
intrusion in his waters of another
male swan, with wife and cygnet The
lordly swan attacked and well-nigh
killed the opponent, but the water
man interfered. Daily the irate bird
went in search of his foe, and one
night the intruding bird was again
rescued, but during the small hours Of
the morning the jealous rival returned
and finished the duel, leaving the dead
body of his foe floating in the river.

than one year, is the sum offered to

bee fancier of stoughton, for the prize
queen" bee that he has been treasur-
ing for three years. The value of the
insect lies in that 1t has been the
means of bringing into existence ap-

ELEPHANTS BATHING TANK

Some months ago the management
Of the National geological park in
Washington decided that the elephants
In captivity needed bath tub and or
dered a huge tank made. After con-
siderable planning and figuring, the
work of excavation was begun for this
monster reservoir. Ton after ton of
dirt was scooped out until there re-
suited a splendid bath tub 40 feet
wide, sloping gently down to a depth
of more than 15 feet. Around this
was constructed a concrete wall solid
enough to withstand the kicks and
cavortings of the strongest elephant
A strong wooden barrier encloses the
bathtub and effectually prevents the
elephants from rambling off through
the park after they have had their
daily dip. 1t is very interesting to
watch the big animals as they splash
around in the cool water, or stand
idly still and blink their little dark
eyes in perfect content. They seem
to be in their perfect element when
deep in the waters. The bottom of
the bathing tank is paved with rock
SO placed as to keep the big pachy-
derms from slipping, as they surely
would do If they tried to maintain
their balance on a smooth concrete
floor covered with ooze. The manage
ment of the park have felt amply re-
paid for the expense involved in the
construction of the enormous bath
tub, for it vastly improves the health
and temper of the clumsy beasts in
their charge.

Most Curious Duel Being Waged

PhiladeIphia.-The most ferocious

hunting, Japan is to fight with the
most modern of military agencies,
electricity. It is a most curious duel
that Is now being waged in the island
of FoFmosa between the Japanese and
the bloodthirsty Aiyu tribes.
1t is the proudest achievement of
the head hunter to increase his col

the great man of the tribe and the
gruesome skulls are exhibited with
the utmost pride not only to residents
but to visitors who may chance under
proper guard to penetrate to the fast
nesses of the interior.
1t has not taken long for Japan to
find that her soldiers can not avail to
stop the depredations and outrages
committed by the head hunters.
There are some hundred thousands
of these savages, who became a prob
lem to the Toxic government when
the outcome of the war with China in
1895 brought Formosa under Japanese
dominion.
The gallant little brown men who
had been able to overwhelm the Chi
nese and who later were to strike
such frightful blow at the prestige
of Russia, were unable to deal with
the head hunters.
In the guerilla warfare that ensued
as soon as the Japanese soldiers came
into the country the modern sons of
Jupiter were constantly worsted.

hunters to perform their deadliest out
