Swift Was a Ounce at School.

Not only philosophers and divines,
but some of the most trenchant sati-
rists and brilliant humorists, were dull
enough as boys. 1t has been said Of
Swift in his best days that The dis
played either the blasting lightning of
satire or the lambert and meteor-iike
caricatures of frolicsome humor." And
yet this vigorous disputant was con-
sidered fit subject for FOOLS cap at

blockhead" who was denied his de-
gree on his first application and OBJ

MINERAL Microbes.

Some interesting experiments have
been made with ancient medals, vases
and so forth of lead that are gradually
disintegrating in the museum of Gu
nv. After a certain number of years
they fall into dust. The cause, it is
thought, lies in the presence of minute
quantities Of saline matter with which
the objects have become impregnated
during their long burial in the soil or
under water. These microscopic i'm
purities play the part of bacteria and
microbes in living bodies. In other
words, the lead is sick" and unless
the noxious matter can be removed
will Inevitably perish. Curiously
enough. it is found that if traces of
salt are impaired to a fresh mass of
lead it is attacked and eventually falls
to pieces like the objects in the mu-
scum at Cluny.

Sea SPRINGS.

In the very hottest district in the
world-the shores of the Persian gulf
there is no rain whatever. nor rivers.
nor GASES Yet water is got-from the
bottom of the sea. Six miles off the
shallow coast there is a long line of
bubbling springs of ice cold fresh
water. Divers capture it in goatskin
bags and retail it inland at very mod
crate prices. Even in an annual
drought. which lasts from January to
December. and in a temperature that
hardly ever sinks below 90 degrees and
often rises to over 40 the natives have
no worry about their water supply.

An Architects Ruse.

A story is told of Sir Christopher
Wren, the great English architect who
built the town hall of Windsor. Eng
land 1t appears that fidgety mem
Der of the corporation insisted that
the roof required further support and
wished more pillars to be added. Vain
ly did Sir Christopher assure him that
the supposed danger was imaginary.
The alarm became infectious. and the
great architect was finally worried
into adding the desired columns.
Years rolled on. and in later times.
when architect and patrons had passed
away, cleaning operations on the roof
revealed the fact that the supposed
additional supports did not touch the
roof by a couple of inches, though this
was imperceptible to the gazers be-
low. By this curious expedient did
Sir Christopher pacify his critics while
indicating his own architectural skill
to future generations.

Maui Rock,

Among the numerous natural Gu
riosities of West Virginia is one in
Lincoln county called the Maui rock"
because of its similarity to a maui.
The base Of the rock is about a
thousand feet above sea level and is
made up of large powders, says an
exchange. The stem of the rock is
twenty feet high and will average
about seven feet in diameter. The
cap. or maui part. is about six feet
thick and is thirty eight feet in cir
conference. The stem is of a soft
formation and is fast crumbling away
since the timber has died that was a
great protection from the force of
strong winds. By mounting the rock
by means of a ladder that is kept
there a magnificent view Of the West
Virginia hills can be obtained Chris

TRESPASSING IN ENGLAND.
IF No Damage Is Done Intruders Need
Have No Fear.

nave NO rear.
Many timid pedestrians in rural
England are frightened away from in
viting fields by the notice ''Trespass-
ers Will Be Prosecuted" They need
have no fear, says an English ex-
change.
AS the law stands any trespasser
who does the smallest damage-in-
jures fence, breaks small branch,
etc.-can be summoned before mag
istrate and fined. But if he does no
damage the landlord must bring an
action at law and get an injunction.
This costs lot of money, and unless
the trespasser is a man Of means the
landlord won't bring his action at law.
All he can do otherwise is to ask you
to get out. If you go peaceably you
can return an hour later and repeat
the visit as often as you wish. Moth
ing can be done beyond asking you to
leave again. But if you resist then
sufficient force can be used, and if
you show fight you may be legally
knocked down, your legs tied and your
self bundled on to the road.
The landlord may, however. play
some tricks on you. He can saw a
bridge crossing stream, so that you
will get a ducking; he can dig a pit
for you to fall into. and he can so fix
the stile you are likely to cross that
you will break it, and then he can
have you up before the magistrate. If
you don't commit any damage, how
ever. you can trespass to your hearts
content.

DEEPEST SLEEP.
1t Always Occurs During the First
Hour of SIumber,

1t Always Occurs During the First
Hour of SIumber.
YES" said the doctor, ''sleep is a
very puzzling mystery. Nobody knows
what the cause of it is, but we do
know that it is always accompanied
by anaemia of the brain. In other
words, when you sleep the blood
drains away from the head to the
limbs. If you fell asleep on bal
anced bed, the moment you dropped
off the foot of the bed would begin to
sink. and the deeper the sleep the
greater the slant.
THAT is why hot bath tends to
sleepiness. 1t brings the blood to the
skin and so lessons the supply in the
brain. CuriOusly enough. great cold
has the same effect and for the same
reason. You know how cold swells
and reddens the hands.
Recent experiments have shown
conclusively how pale and bloOdless
the brain grows in sleep. How?
Well. a piece of bone has been remov-
ed from the skull Of puppy and a
watchglass inserted instead. The mo-
ment the puppy under observation
wakes its brain at once grows pink
again. No; the puppy doesn't seem to
mind it.
Experiments made by dropping
heavy balls have shown that sleep is
always at it's deepest in the first hour.
After that Inconsistencies gets shall
lower and shallower." - London An

AEScHYLUS.
Curious Fate That Overlook tho Fa-
Their of Greek rraqedy.

efsST VI SFSSH fTdSSoys
Aeschylus, the celebrated Greek
dramatic writer, is universally refer
req to as the father of Greek TRACE
dy.' Born Of noble family at Eleu-
sis, in Attica, 525 b. c., at the age of
twenty -four he first presented himself
at the festival of Bacchus as a COM
petitor for the public prize and fifteen
years afterward gained his first vic
tory. The pre-eminence which he thus
acquired was successfully maintained
till 46S b. O., when he was defeated
in a similar contest by his younger
rival, Sophocles.
Aeschylus. mortified at the indignity
he thought this put upon him. quilted
Athens and went to the court of HE
70, king of Syracuse. OF the remain
ing period of his life but little is
known, except that he continued to
prosecute his favorite pursuit, and
that his residence in Sicily was of
some duration may be inferred from
the fact that it was sufficient to az
feet the purity of his language
The thirteenth and last victory of
AeschyluS was gained in AS B. c. On
the manner of his death, which was
singular, the ancient writers are unan-
imOus. While sitting motiOnless in
the fields his bald head was mistaken
for a stone by an eagle which hap
pened to be flying over him with a
tortoise in her bill. The bird dropped
the tortoise to break the shell, and the
poet was killed by the blow.
Aeschylus is said TO have been the
author of seventy tragedies, of which
only seven are now extant.

A Medical View of the Doctors Charge
For His Services.

A Medical View Of the Doctors Charge
For His Services.
Those who discuss the physicians
fee frequently miss the essence Of it.
AS matter Of fact, under present
social conditions the charge made to
the wealthy and well to do is the nor
NAL and proper fee; the lowered
charges made to those less fortunate
are concessions. The tremendous field
of the physicians charity is therefore
usually underestimate, for it extends
to a great majority of his patients.
In olden times. when medicine was
nearly all art and but little science.
the fee was unknown. Like other art
the weight of which depended natu-
rally upon the resources of the patient.
The popular impression that physi-
clans make the rich pay for the poor is
incorrect They extend their services to
all alike. and all are supposed to pay as
much as they can afford for services
really priceless and impossible to rep
resent adequately in money values.
Any attempt made to establish stand
ard fees by law is sure to work in
justice to the physician. The stand
ard fee would have to be much high
er than the average fee at present and
there would have to be some method
Of enforcing its sure payment. Only
with the standard fixed. as now. by
the ability Of the wealthy is it possible
for the poor to receive the benefits of
the highest professional skill without
losing their self respectively York

too low for men.
For months | suffered from crick in

At last. quite by accident. l lit on
the cause of my trouble. A pile Of
skillets and saucepans had been left
in. the sink. and l put the dishpan on
them. Then | was not obliged to

Since then have rested the dishpan

This III Natured Fruit Is Remarkably
Tenacious of Life.
The prickly pear is said to be so
tenacious Of life that a leaf or even
a small portion of a leaf. if thrown on
the ground. strikes out roots within
a short time and becomes the parent
of fast growing plant.
Mischievous though the African
prickly pear may be. il is not without
its good qualities. Its juicy fruit.
though rather deficient in favor, is
delightfully."- cool and refreshing in the
dry heat of summer, and kind of
treacle is made from it.
Great caution must be exercised in
peeling this curious fruit, the proper
way being to impale the fruit on
fork or stick while one cuts ii open
and removes the skin. The individ-
