GETTING TIRED.
Fatigue That Follows Monotony Of
Work or Exercise.

Fatigue That Follows Monotony Of
Work or Exercise.
It is said that for horses the hardest
road out of London Is the most level
one There are no hills to climb and
descend, and the tired horse has no
chance to rest one set Of muscles
while another works. Monotony pro-
duces fatigue, and because this par
ticular road is one dead. monotonous
level more horses die on it than on
any other leading out Of LONDON.
We can even take a charitable view
Of the time taken daily by the type
writer girl for the arrangement Of her
hair. Her fingers are congested by
the work Of writing and tired by con-
tact with the hard keys Of her ma
chine, and the different feeling OF her
hair and the little plays and move
ments OF her fingers in adjusting 1t
are distinct stimulation and relief.
Fatigue following long continued ex-
ercise is really a mild form Of illness
which arises from overexerting some
one part of the body. In writing. for
instance. the fingers move up and
down hardly more than quarter OF
an inch as they travel across the page.
Yet this is hard work for their little
muscles and burns up tissue in the
fingers very fast If rest intervals are
too short and infrequent. there Is not
time for the removal of the waste
products of this destruction through
the normal channels Of the body and
congestion results The feeling OF
fatigue or pain that follows long con-
tinued use of any of the muscles is
due to the influence Of such poisonous
material. as we'll as to the stretching
of the tissues caused by t. e pressure
of the blood which settles there.-Pauf

No other language under the sun Is

SKIN OF A BADGER.
So Loose the Animal Can Almost Turn
Somersaults In II.

The pelt Of an adult badger is ex-
remely thick and difficult for biting
adversary to penetrate. writes trap
per in Fur News. and so loosely does
the skin cover the body that the ami
NAL is able to turn almost around IN
its hide
Should a dog acquire q hold on the
throat the badger turns himself so that
the dogs grip is on the back of the
badgers neck without having loosened
his first hold. Then the badger Sc
cures viseIike grip upon some vii
nerable portion Of his enemy. and
while his long tusks penetrate to the
limit he digs and scratches with his
front feet that are furnished with
claws almost as formidable and deadly
as might be expected from an antearer
Of the dark continent.
He who has removed the pelt of a
badger and is at all observing does not
wonder at this animal being sharp bit

and adjustment Of its jaws are noted.
Neither is it so much of Il mystery how
he manages to bore through the soil
so rapidly that half a dozen men with
shovels cannot overtake him. for he is
mass Of cords and muscles, particu-
larry in the neck. chest and shoulders,
very similar in physical construction to
the ground mole.
The badger toes inward sharply when
travelling and always on the walk,
twisting about here and there very
much like the movement of skunk.
while if it be in winter he makes a
business Of hunting buried dormant

He is fur bearer of rather coarse

value in the pelts taken. depending

is chiefly valuable when it has a long
coat, so that the guard hairs can be
plucked and used to make shaving

MILITARY PUNIsHMENTs.
Times When RebeIIious Soldiers Gam.
bled For Their Lives.


In times past the military code IN
England was no less stern and uncom-
promising than the civil. Sentence OF
death was readily decreed and as
promptly executed. Where otfenses
multiplied and wholesale executions
would have weakened the army MI.
merically decimation-the slaughter OF
every tenth man-was the rule. or the
troops gampled for their lives by cast
ing dice upon drumhead or draw1ng
lots under the gallows tree.
Lesser penalties-not capital, but
physical. and causing pain with per
manent degradation-were manning,
branding the cheek or forehead, Dor
ing the tongue or cutting the nose and
ears. These last named were retained
upon the military statute book until
the reign Of Queen Anne. The trap

a delinquent was hoisted on high by
rope fastened to his arms and then
dropped down by sudden jerk that
often dislocated his shoulders Hang

"picketing." was also practiced. while
the body was raised to such height
that its whole weight rested on one
toe, and that again on sharp pointed
spike.

be mounted on razor edge. with
weights fastened to the extremities.

C0RSICAN CRUELTY.
It Loomed Up Large In Napoeon's
Treatment Of Children.

Napoleon had singular rage for
pulling children's ears. sometimes so
hard as to make the poor children cry.
Caroline was very vexed when she
saw her little Achille the victim of his
uncle's caresses, and more than once
her sons tears made her weep too.
One day the First Consul. pulling the
ears Of the little fellow, hurt him, and
he cried out 10 teach him not to cry
his uncle pulled his ear again, harder.
Achille, having freed himself, came
back to him in fury and, raising his
little fist, shouted:
'You are villain. wicked. wicked
villain!
To prove the contrary Napoleon
should have embraced his nephew and
made him forget the pain he had gra-
tuitously inflicted by some show of af-
lection. But tenderness was not in
his character. Corsicans scarcely know
what it means, and, though Napoleon
used to say, II am less of Corsican
than one Thinks" he was really more
SO than any one or he himself thought
Instead of quieting his nephew he be-
came angry and gave him a violent
slap on the face. The child ran weep

that she was taken i'll, from the eff

episode, "she made to control her feel

left the room. struggling his shoulders

Caroline had always been an affected
creature and acted like all parents who
spoiled their children" TurQuan's
