cnrinsitiea al sunerstition.

When Egypt was in the height of
her power, when she was most highly
civilized and delighted in being called
the mistress of the land and sea, her
people worshiped black bull There
was some discrimination, however,
even in this form of worship. In order
to be an object of mad alteration it was
necessary that the bull calf be born
with circular white spot in the ex-
act center of his forehead. and the
advent of such a creature in any herd
was the signal of wild demonstrations
from the Mediterranean to the border
of the Lybian desert. Even as late as
the time of Cleopatra, star eyed god
dess, glorious sorceress of the Nile.
such animals were shod with gold and
had their horns tipped with the same
metal Herodotus tells of a man who
died with grief because he sold a COW
that soon after became the mother of a
black bull calf marked with the sacred
white circle in his forehead.

The Art Of ouarlookinn.

Nobody can live long in the world
and not admit that the words moth
ing for nothing contain a sad amount
of truth. He is Of course fool who
does not count the cost SO far as the
future is concerned. but scarcely less
a fool is he who does not overlook past
costs. If we have any good or de-
lightful thing IN this life, at all haz-
Srds let us not taint our enjoyment by
considering what we gave for it. Was
it more than we could afford? Never
mind. We have afforded it; we have
made our purchase. Let US take off
the ticket with the price and burn the
receipt. There are items in life's
ledger which must be overlooked un-
less we would spend all our days
in balancing closed ccounts.-London

The pELuGE.
Queer Old Australian Tradition About
the Flood.

Queer Old Australian Tradition About
the Flood.
The aboriginal blacks Of Australia
have a queer tradition about the food.
They say that at one time there was
no water on the earth at all except in
the body of an immense frog, where
men and women could not get at it.
There was a great council on the sub
ject, and it was found out that If the
frog could be made to laugh the wa
ters would run out of his mouth and
the drought be ended.
So several animals were made to
dance and caper before the frog to in
duce him to laugh, but he did not even
smile, and so the waters remained in
his body. Then some one happened to
think of the queer contortions into
which the eel could twist itself and it
was straightway brought before the
frog, and when the frog saw the wrig-
Cling he laughed so loud that the
whole earth trembled, and the waters
poured out of his mouth in great
flood, in which many people were
drowned.
The black people were saved from
drowning by the pelican. This thought
full bird made big canoe and went
with it among all the islands that ap-
peared here and there above the sur
face of the water and gathered in the
black people and saved them.

Lead Pencil Experim.nts.

An English statistician was asked
how many words could be written
with an English lead pencil, and, be-
ing determined to answer it, he bought
a lead pencil and Scott's "Ivanhoe'
and proceeded to copy the latter word
by word. He wrote 05.60S words and
then was obliged TO stop, for the pen.
ell had become SO short that be could
not use it. A German statistician who
heard of this experiment was dissat-
isfied with it because all the lead in
the pencil was not used on the work,
and therefore he bought pencil and
started to copy long German novel.
When the pencil was so short that he
could not handle it with his fingers
he attached a holder to it, and it is
said that he wrote with this one pen
ell 100000 words. Possibly. however,
his pencil was longer or the lead in
it was of more durable quality.

RESERVE HORSES FOR WAR.
Switserland's Method Of Preparing For
Rapid Mobilization.


In Switzerland the state is part own
sr Of horses used by reserves. 1t pur-
ehases remount at three and half
years old, and the soldier pays half
the cost of the horse to the govern
ment, together with the difference be-
tween its cost and the price that the
horse fetches at auction, for all horses
are sold by auction to the men.
After every year of training the gov
ernment refunds one-tenth Of the orig
inal half cost to the man, and at the
end of ten years the horse becomes
the absolute property of the soldier.
In this manner the soldier is not only
always well mounted, but as he keeps
his horse with him at his home his
mobilization problem is of the simplest
nature.
The average price Of these Swiss
troop horses is about f45, says Baily's
Magazine, and as most of these horses
are imported from Ireland and north
Germany their price is considerably
higher than it would be in Great Brit
ain. Thus the state secures the serv-
ices of a horse for an annual outlay
of about "a los. But there are certain
other expenses which must be includ-
ed in this estimate, such as the cost of
the establishment for remount depots,
etc, which raises the total cost Of
horses for the Swiss government to
about fS 12s. a year.

THE FIRST CLOCKS.
On, at Padua That Was a Wonder o.
Mechanism.


II was, we are told, in 1909 that the
first clock known to the world was
placed in the tower of san Eustorgio,
IN Milan.
The greatest astonishment and ad-
miration were manifested by crowds
who focked to see the timepiece. In
1914 clock was installed in the pal
ace of the mobiles at Padua. This was
wonder of mechanism indeed, for
besides indicating the hours it showed
the course Of the sun, the revolutions
Of the planets, the various phases of
the moon. the months and the fetes
of the year,
The period of the evolution from the
clock to the watch was seventy-one
years-not so very long. all things con-
sidered and the record Of the first
watch is 1880. A half century later
an alarm clock made its appearance.
This, we are told, was looked upon
by the people Of that age as 'un in
strument prodigieux."
The fortunate possessor Of this clock
was Andrea Alciato, councillor of
Milan. The chroniclers have placed
on record that this clock sounded
bell at a stated hour, and at the same
time a little wax candle was lighted
automatically. How this was done we
are not told, but it must not be over
looked that until about seventy years
ago we had no means of obtaining a
light other than the tinder box, so
that the Milanese must have been cen
turtles ahead Of us in this respect.
Not much progress was made with
the watch until 174O, when the sec
ond hand was added.-London Globe.

ROADS IN CHINA.
They Are Narrow and Crooked and
Edged With bitches.

They Are Marrow and Crooked and
Edged With bitches.
The Chinese road is private prop
erty, strip taken from somebody's
land. This is done much against the
will Of the owner since he not only
loses the use of it, but also still has to
pay taxes on it,
One consequence is that it is wide
enough for only one vehicle, and carts
can pass one another only by trespass-
ing on the cultivated land. To prevent
this the farmers dig deep bitches by
the roadside. AS the surface wears
away and the dust blows off it gradu-
ally grows lower, and after awhile it
becomes a drain for the surrounding
fields. A current forms in the rainy
season, which still further hollows it
out. and thus has arisen the proverb
that a road a thousand years old be-
comes a river.
Those whose lands are used for
roads naturally prefer to have the
roads run along the edge of their
farms instead of cutting across them,
and this accounts for the fact that
Chinese roads are often so crooked
that one may have to go considerable
distance to reach a place that is in re-
ality but a few miles away. This al
ways interests the stranger.

In New Caledonia sea serpents are
frequently seen and sometimes cap
tured They are curious creatures,
the head being very small and scarce
ly distinguishable from the body and
the tail being formed like an oar. In
length they are generally between
three and four feet. In the jaw there
are tiny glands containing poison, but
as the mouth is very small it is diff
cult for them to bite, and the natives
handle them fearlessly. A European
traveller witnessed an experiment at
Noumea which shows that under GER
tain conditions the sea serpent can do
deadly work. A rat was caught in
trap, and its tongue was grasped by
a pair Of pinchers and placed in the
mouth Of n sea serpent The serpent
Immediately bit it, and the rat died in
four minutes.

Old lime EnuIish Elections.

In old time England each constitu-
ency gave its representative in parlia-
ment a horse to carry him to West
minister and also paid his expenses en-
the road. These expenses, together
with an allowance for each day spent
.on duty at the house of commons, gen
orally at the rate Of so cents a day,
were refunded in one lump sum when
the member returned home at the end
of the parliamentary year. Sir f. De-
laval totaled seven votes in an attempt
on Andover in the general election of
1768. An item in his election agents
bill is typical of the reckoning he had
to pay: ITO being thrown out of the
George inn, Andover, to my legs being
thereby broken, to sugeon's bill and
loss of time and business, all in the
service of Sir +. Delaval, $500" Lord
LANDAU won Dungurvan in 1868 The
item "f547 whisky" caused him to
protest family. "Begorra," said his
election agent, "if ye =ant to squeeze

TEMPTED, He ATE.
A Story of Heinrich Heine and
Toothsome Lyons Sausage.

A Story of Heinrich Heine and a
Toothsome Lyons Sausage.
Returning from journey to the
south of France, Heinrich Heine met a
friend, a German violinist, in Lyons,
who gave him a large sausage that
had been made in Lyons with the
request to deliver it to mutual ac-
quaintance, a homeopathic physician,
in Paris. Heine promised to attend
to the commission and intrusted the
delicacy to the care of his wife, who
was travelling with him. But as the
postchaise was very slow and he
soon became very hungry, on the ad-
vice of his wife both tasted of the
sausage, which dwindled with every
mile.
Arriving at Paris, Heine did not
dare to send the remainder to the
physician, and yet he wished to keep
his promise. So he cut off the thin
nest possible slice with his razor.
wrapped it in a sheet of vellum paper
and inclosed it in an envelope, with
the following note:
Dear Doctor-From your scientific inves-
we learn that the millionth part
of a certain substance brings about the
greatest results. ! beg, therefore, your
kind acceptance of the accompanying mill
lionth part of Lyons sausage, which our
friend gave ME to deliver to you. If
is a truth. then this little
piece will have the same effect on you as
the whole sausage. Your

with Physicians and Gil
ents."

When Silence Is Deadly.

Silence is commonly the slow poison
used by those who mean to murder
love. There is nothing violent about
it. No shock is given. Hope is not
abruptly strangled, but merely dreams
of evil and fights with gradually sti-
fling shadows. When the last convul-
sions come they are not terrific. The
frame has been weakened for dissolu-
ton. Love dies like natural decay. It
seems the kindest way Of doing a
cruel thing.-George Meredith.
