SNEEZING.

II Must Have Been Violent Operation
Before Jacobs Time.
We frequently hear the expression
"God bless your uttered after some
one has sneezed. The expression, IL
we can believe Clodd In his Child
hood of the World" dates back to the
time of Jacob. We are told in Jewish
literature that previous to his time
men sneezed but once In q lifetime
and that was the end Of them, for the
shock slew them. Jacob prevailed in
prayer and had the fatality set aside
on the condition that among all the
nations sneeze should be hallowed
by the words God bless your In the
'Jataka," one of the books of the
Buddhist Scriptures, we read that the
expression was. May the blessed Lord
allow you to live"
Buddha on one occasion while
preaching to his disciples happened to
sneeze. The priests gave vent to tho
exclamation, and Buddha lectured
them for interrupting his discourse.
"If when person sneezes," he ask
ed, "and you say. May he live.' will
he live the longerW
Certainly notw' cried the priests.
"And If you do not say it will he
die any the sooner?
Certainly notw was the reply.
"Then," said Buddha, from this
time forth IL any one sneeze and a
priest says May you live he shall be
guilty of transgression. London

of the Antarctic Act.
"The resemblance of pengiuns to
human beings is always noticed" says
Lieutenant Il. III. Shackleton In his
book, 1.-THE Heart of the Antarctic"
"This is partly due to the habit Of
walking erect. But there are truly
great many human traits about them.
They are the civilized natives of these
regions. and their civilization. IL much
simpler than ours. is In some respects
higher and more worthy Of the name"
OF two Of the photographs that appear
in the book the following remarks are
made:
IAN emperor penguin, meeting an
emperor or men or dogs, bows gravely
till his beak is almost touching his
breast. Keeping his head bowed, he
makes a long speech In muttering

groups of four or FIVE. Having finish
ed the speech. the head is kept bowed

Then 1t is raised, and be describes

A CHINESE STRATAGEM.
Legend of How a Projected Invasion
Was AXerted.


Rajah Suran, who was one of the
earliest rulers Of India, overran the
entire east with the exception of Chi
ma, killed innumerable sultans with his
own hand and married all their daugh.
ters. 1t is said that when the Chinese
heard Of his triumphant progress and
learned that he had reached their
frontier they became much alarmed.
The emperor called a council of his
generals and mandarins, and upon the
advice of crafty old mandarin the
following strategem was carried out:
A large ship was loaded with rusty
nails, trees were planted on the deck,
the vessel was manned by numerous
crew of old men and dispatched to the
rajah's capital. When 1t arrived-the
most wonderful part of the story Is
that 1t did arrive-the rajah sent an
officer to ask how long 1t had taken
the vessel to make the trip from China.
The Cinnamon answered that they had
all been young men when they set sail
and that on the voyage they had plant
ed the seeds from which the great
trees had grown. In corroboration of
their story they pointed to the rusty
nails which, they said, had been stout
iron bars as thick as a mans arm when
they started. "You can see," they
concluded. that China must be a very
long distance away"
The rajah was so much impressed
by these plausible arguments that he
concluded he would not live long
enough to reach China and abandoned
his projected invasion.
