Two Women.

Tn her book Woman and Labor Olive Schreiner gives an amusing Illus tration of the fact that it Is not the amount of money a person has which makes him or her a parasite on soci- ety, but the way 1t is used.
 'aThe wife of an American million aire," says Mrs. Schreiner, "was visit ed by a woman, the daughter and wid- ow of small professional man. She stated that she was in need of both food and clothing. The millionaire's wife gave her<a leg of mutton and two valuable dresses. The woman pro- ceeded to whine, though in vigorous health, that she had no one to carry them home for her. The American, the descendant of generations of able, laboring, New England Puritan wom- en, tucked the leg of mutton under one arm and the bundle of clothes un- der the other and walked on down the city street toward the woman's dwelling, followed by the astonished pauper parasite"

Tea Trmens.

'I used to be tea taster in Han kow," said a New York tea dealer, "but got a bad attack of tea tremens and had to give up the job. Tea tremens is a recognized disease among Chinese tea tasters. These men don't swallow drop of tea from one week. end to another. They simply hold the tea in the mouth. get an idea of its aroma and then eject 1t, but neverthe- less the aroma of the tea causes vio- lent nervous attacks, with sleepless- ness and even hallucinations that are known all over China as tea tremens. I have never had delirium tremens, but if it's one-half as bad as the tea sort I pity the poor victim.''

Tho Size of Some Stare.

M. Workman of the Paris observa- tory believes that he has devised a successful method of determining the diamebers of stars by a comparison of their effective temperatures with their parallaxes. In the case of some of the brightest stars he has reached interesting results. Thus he finds that Aldebaran, the bright star in Taurus, is vertically giant sun, the ratio of its diameter to that of our sun being greater than that of the sun to the planet Jupiter. This means that Aide baran has diameter probably not less than S,OO0,OOO miles, or more than thirty times the distance from the earth to the moon. On the other hand, Sirius, or the dog star. to our eyes the brightest of all the stars, is, accord ing to M. Nordmann, but little larger than our sun.

Chin. as a BIuffer.

Professor Ian c. Hannah in his book, Eastern Asia-A History" says that taxicabs, or, rather, automatic registers attached to horse cabs, were invented about 63O A. D., during the Tang dynastry in China. In his opin- ion the Chinese empire is "the great est bluff in the world" and 1t sug- gests to him a very ancient Chinese fable, which he relates.
 A monkey was captured by tiger. He. whined that he was thin and his flesh of poor taste,y but he knew of a fine fat donkey for the tiger. The ti- ger consented to be led to where the donkey was tied. When the donkey saw them coming he was frightened, but recovered his composure and bawl- ed in his masterful donkey voice:
 Monkey, you used to bring me two tigers. Why only one today?"
 The tiger did record hustle back to the jungle.
 China, says Professor Hannah, has shown much of that donkey's resource fitness in its history.

Juggernaut-or lord of the worid'' was supposed to be one of the fn- carnations of Krishna. The idol is formed of an irregular pyramidal black stone, with two large diamonds to rep resent eyes. The nose and mouth are painted vermilion. An immense num- Der of pilgrims visit the idol annually. reaching up into the millions. Jugger- naut worship used to be terrible thing, but it is not what 1t once was. The state allowance to the temple was suspended by the Indian government in 1851, and the festivals are growing less and less popular year by year. The growing intelligence of the people and the restraining influence of the government are doing their work, and Juggernaut is steadily losing ground New York American.

When a Soft Drink |. Hard.

"You are arrested on very serious charge, my good man," began the court, looking at the man severely. You are accused of getting into a fight and hitting the complainant over the head with a bottle. What have you to say for yourself?"
 Your honor, I didn't mean to hurt him. I never thought that it would hurt him very much, cause the bot tie contained nothing but soft drink, !" returned the prisoner. = Milwaukee Free Press.

A M,rv., of Insect Mechanism.


 The sting of a certain Indian fly of fers as marked an example of design in nature as can well be imagined. When seen through a magnifying glass it is found to be composed of three sharp blades folded into one with their cutting edges outward and run ming down to one fine point. When the fly inserts this up to the hilt in it's victim the three blades fly apart, and then it is seen that each inner edge Is a beautiful saw, worked by six sep arate muscles, so that when with drawn the instrument rips its way out with a gush of blood. But now comes the most curious provision of all. It would not do to fold up these blades with the blood adhering to them, so each blade is provided at its base with a fine brush of hairs growing out of an oil gland, which provides an anti septic secretion to keep the blades clean,
