The Human Lobster.

The lobster has always appealed to the Englishman as affording nick name for his fellow Englishman. Lobster was favorite term of abuse among the Elizabethans, though it is only conjectural that an allusion to red faces was conveyed. As signifying a soldier, 'lobster'' originated in the civil war, being applied to the Round head cuirassiers, as Clarendon ex- plains, because of the bright iron shells with which they were covered" Afterward the allusion was transfer red to the soldiers red uniform. But that was the "boiled lobster" The "raw lobster'' was naturally the man in blue, the policeman. In earlier days we find Grose explaining that ito boil ones lobster" meant for a clergyman to become a soldier.-London Chron- tcle

TESTING FIRE CLAY.
The Most Practical Method Is to Lk.
 eralIy Eat 1t.

Fire clay has been in use for cen turics. and yet believe the nIustry Is one which lacks definite laws more than any other including those which are either modern or ancient and of less prominence. You can go to manufacturer of steel and specify what you want by actual figures or statements and you can check the prod uet by chemical analysis or mechanical sests and thus make sure you get what you need. The producer knows how to combine certain elements and what quantities of various kinds to combine Ill order to get result at least very closely approaching what you call for, but not so in the fire clay business. In the past the most skilled and highest salaried chemists have been employed 10 make tests, to promote and carry through Investigations on the natural product and to study the workings of certain manufactured and elaborated articles derived therefrom. The result has been, generally speaking. confusion worse confounded. Two professors, working at similar times on brick or clay obtained from the same source and manufactured under exactly equal conditions, have recorded diametrically opposed conclusions! The same scien- lists at different periods have reached vastly varying conclusions when test ing identical qualities and shapes of bricks, so can you wonder if promi- nent fire clay manufacturer should ex- claim, as l heard one on an occasion after having the above experience. "All tests of fire clay are empirical, and l would sooner trust our superintend- ent to pick and select his clays in the old fashioned way than pay high fee for highbrow's recommendations? The chief method of testing fire clay by a practical man is literally to eat 1t. He can detect grit and sand best by that method, and a good fire clay (free from silica, quartZite or flint clayl is free from grit. His only other personal test is by eHperiment.-En. gineering Magazine.

kjssino In Iceland.

Among old time laws against kissing those of Iceland appear to have been the most severe. Punishment was the penalty laid down for kissing another mans wife, either with or without her consent. The same punishment was enforced for kissing an unmarried wo- man against her will; if 1t could be proved that she had consented to be kissed the offender was still liable to a fine of a great quantity of cloth for each offense.

Fear causes more disease than do microbes, more deat t,s than famine. more failures than lanics. It costs more than war, is always failure and is never necessary. said medical man. Fear weaken's the hearts action. in- duces congestion, invites indigestion. produces poison through decomposing foods and is thus the mother of auto- poisoning. which either directly causes or greatly aids in the production of quite 90 per cent of all our diseases.
