The Creeping kaHir.

The sun was shining brightly down
on the farmyard, and under large
willow tree number of rooibekkjes-
small, red beaked birds-were feeding
Suddenly Kaffir appeared and fell on
his knees about ten yards behind the
birds. He crept a yard nearer, but if
I had not been watching him very
closely l could have sworn that he did
not move The man seemed to be all
in one piece. He moved entirely, not
in sections of knees and legs and arms
and upper body Then he winked at
me, so certain was he of the success
Of his exploit. l am certain some OF
the birds saw this alien figure, yet so
imperceptible were his motions that
they did not suspect he, was human
being foe. Nearer and nearer
he drew. Suddenly he lay still, meas
ured the distance with his eye, and
then, with lightning motion, he
stretched forward and grabbed. The
birds arose, alarmed. shrieking shrilly
AL but one. And that one was fut-
tering, terrified and helpless, in the
Kaffir's huge hand.-London Standard.

The Skin of Nv Teeth,

In the book Of Job appears the SEN
tence, II am escaped with the skin of
my teeth" which is modernized ''by
the skin Of my teeth and gives the
idea of narrow escape, one SO close
as to be just by the thickness of the
skin on the teeth, which is so thin
that no microscopic has yet been able
to find it. ITO cast in the teeth"
means to throw defiant reproaches or
insults spitefully, as one would cast a
stone at the exposed teeth Of a snarl-
ing dog. "Tooth and nail'' denotes the
manner of an action full Of frenzied
fury, typifed by biting and scratching,
as when two belligerent cats make the
fur fly.

Baths In Finland.

One of the greatest trials visitor in
Finland has to endure is a Finnish
bath. The method Of procedure is
unique. Divested Of outer clothing
and attired in a light and airy cot
ton garment, you are slung in a sort
Of hammock composed Of cord above
a large receptacle like the boilers in
public laundries. This is almost filled
with cold water, into which at the
right moment is flung large redhot
brick or piece of iron, which OF course
causes an overwhelming rush of steam
to ascend and almost choke you.
Then when that process has gone on
sufficiently long you are shaken out
of your hammock, immersed in cold
water, and after very drastic treat
ment you resume your raiment7 sad
der and wiser than before your novel
experience

Effect Of the Sun on Monuments.

The perpendicularity of monument
is visibly affected by the rays Of the
sun. On every sunny day a tall lnonu-
ment has regular swing leading
away from the sun. This phenomenon
is due to the greater expansion Of the
side on which the rays of the sun
fall A pendulum placed inside, say,
Nelson's column, in Trafalgar square.
would be found to describe on every
clear day an ellipse of nearly half an
inch in diameter.-English Mechanic

CANNON DEFENDS THE RULES.


Speaker Cannon made characteris-
tic talk on the floor of the house Sat
urday. He said that some members
wouldn't know the rules of 1.-The house
if they met them on the street, yet
they had the nerve to stand up in the
chamber and assert that the rules fet
tered them.
Mr.. Cannon's speech is considered by
his colleagues as the best one on the
rules that he has made this session.
In fact it is the first detailed defence
of the rules that Uncle Joe has uttered
in a long time
Mr.. Cannon declared that ever since
the fifty-first congress it had had been
possible to consider any bill that the
majority wanted to considered.
Whether it was through ignorance
or desire to mislead the American
people that belief to the contrary has
been cultivated" he added, / do not
know. | know few honest members
who would not know the rules of the
house If they should meet them on the
street, yet they make the air lurid
with the claim that the rules fetter
them"
Referring to the claim of the inSur-
gents that before unanimous consent
Monday was invented they had to go
to Speaker Cannon with hat in hand,
Uncle Joe said that they still went
hat in hand, not to him but to other
members who made it a business to
object.
Why" said he, IL have seen mem
bers not only go hat in hand but GEES
ticulating and begging Mr.. Macon or
Mr.. Mann or Mr.. Simms or somebody
else, who frequently objects, for Gods
sake, don't object!'"
Referring to the new committee dis
charge proposition, Mr.. Cannon re-
called that in the last congress, when
the banking and currency committee
under Representative Fowler, of New
Jersey, who was later deposed. had
refused to report the kind of financial
bill desired by the republicans, the bill
had been yanked away from the COM
mittee and passed under rule.
:" have no desire to criticise Mr..
Fowler, " said Mr.. Cannon amid laugh
ter, although l have an impression
that he feels he has been sat upon by
the Gar of the house of the world.
The fact is he was sat upon by ma
jority. He did not successfully play
Gar when he defied the republican
side ),
