Damon and PYthlas.

Damon, a Senator OF Syracuse, was by
nature hot melted. but was sehooled
by Pythagorean philosophy into stole
coldness and slowness OF speech. he
was a tast friend OF the Republic, and
when Dionysius was made king by avoie
of the senate, Damon upbraided the be-
trayers of his country, and pronounced
Dionysius a tyrant. For this he was
seized. and, as he tried 10 stab DionySins.
he was condemned to instant death. Da-
mon now craved respite Tor four hours
10 bid FAREWELL to his wife and child, but
the request was denied him. On his way
to execution his friend Pythias eneount-
cred him, and claimed permission OF
DionysiuS TO become his surety, and to
die in his stead, il within four hours Da-
mon did not return. Dionysius not only
accepted the bail, but extended the leEe
10 six hours. When Damon reached his
country villa, Lucullus killed his horse
10 prevent his return; but Damon, seiz-
ing the horse OF a chance traveller, reached
Syracuse just as the execulioner was
preparing 10 put Pythias TO death. Dio-
nysius so admired this proof OF friendship
that he forgave Damon, and requested TO
be taken into his friendship.

Queer Brushes and Combs.

How animals make their toilets and
keep themselves neat and tidy is all in
teresting study. Most OF them are by ma
ture cleanly and each has its own peculiar
way of keeping so.
The cat carries her clothes-bruSh in her
mouth, for with her rough tongue she
cleanses her glossy coat as a boy brushes
off his clothes. She licks one Of her front
paws and rubs it over her face, and she
is ready for her breakfast.
Foxes, dogs and wolves do not use
their mouths when they need to wash aad
brush, but scratch themselves vigorously
with their hind paws, and are as fresh as
ever.
The cow, with her long, rough tongue,
combs her coat of hair until it is clean and
curly. The horse, more than any other
animal, depends on his owner to keep
his coat in proper condition, but often he
will roll on the green grass or rub himself
down against tree or fence.
Field mice comb their hair with their
hind legs, and the fur-Seal in Similar
manner spends as much time as a woman
in making herself look smart.
Although the elephant appears to be
thickSkinned and callous, he takes great
care of his skin. He often gives himself
a shower bath by drawing water into his
long trunk and blowing it on the different
parts of his body. After the bath he
sometimes rolls himself in toilet prepa-
ration OF dust to keep off the flies.

The Mind Cure.

Thousands of sick and afflicted are
daily told by their physicians to change
their diet and keep the stomach free from
indigestible food. This we admit to be
good advice, but far greater in the use
fulness of advice to change your thoughts,
for out OF defiled mind proceeds cor
rupt and diseased body.
The body quickly responds to every
impulse and impression of the mind, and
one rarely if ever sees person with a
contented mind thin, anaemic and suffer-
ing with neurasthenia and its train OF
nervous and gastric symptoms. If it
were not for the worry, discomfort and
abnormally strenuous life that characterize
the people of this age the specialist on
nervous and mental diseases would nave
to discover ways to obtain livelihood
other than catering to the whims and fan
cies of veritable army of pervertS.
AS paradoxical as il may seem, cam
didly and deliberately proclaim that so
per cent OF all the inhabitants of the world
now living under fifteen years OF age
could live and enjoy better health until
they have passed the century mark in age
if it were possible to instruct them con-
cerning the proper observance OF those
Interchangeable laws of health, hygiene and
physiology. We are often admoniShed
to give up alcoholic stimulants, tobacco
and coffee if we desire to become even
octogenarians. While admit that this is
essential, yet consider the observance
of three other rules more conducive to
longevity, as follows: Never worry and
never become angry; eat slowly and reg
ularly; obtain at least ten hours sleep out
of every twenty-four, for in this age OF
progress and achievement, when every
one is making strenuous efforts to excel
his neighbor in obtaining knowledge,
wealth and influence, ten hours sleep is
barely sufficient to restore equilibrium
to an exhausted sensorium.
And for the man that Wandereth out OF
the way of understanding and worries
through miserable existence, never quite
satisfied with any one or anything, we
shall soon number him with the congre-
CATION of the dead. Herbert Lanier in
Medical Fortnightly.

Pretty Thin SOup.

Numerous complaints had come before
a certain public official in regard to the
quality OF food served TO the inmates oi
one Of the public institutions, and he de-
termined to make personal investigation
in order TO see if the matter really needed
remedying,
Making his way just about dinner-time
to the particular building in question he
walked straight over to where the kitchen
was located. At the very door he en-
counted two misunderstanding men car
rying huge steaming boiler.
"Put that kettle down." he ordered
brusquely, and the men at once obeyed.
"Get me spoon," he next command
ed.
The man that brought the spoon was
about TO say something, but he was or
dered to keep silent.
"Take off the lid, was the next COM
mand: T'm going to taste it,"
The two men were utterly cowed by
the brusqueness Of the official, and won
deringly watched him gulp down good
mouthful.
"Do you mean to say you call this
soup ?" the official demanded. "Why,
it tastes to me like dirty water"
$50 it is, sir" replied one Of the men
respectfully. eve were just scrubbing
the floors"

Insect Friends.

The question sometimes confronts the
farmer, which insects are his frienSS and
which his enemies. Many times the
farmer wages war on insects which real
ly help him and without which crops
could not be profitably grown.
The humble bee is usually looked upon
by the farmer as nuisance il not an en-
emy. However, this insect is one OF our
most important friends.
During winter most of ..ie humble bee
family die except the young females in
more or less protected places. BY June
and July there are not enough young bees
TO visit the clover blossoms, but by Au-
gust that family has increased to such an
extent, as every farm boy who has done
fall plowing knows, that there are suffi-
cient numbers to visit the clover heads
and perform their important work.
These busy little fellows come to the
clover head seeking the nectar which IS
far down in the long tube OF the many
little flowers making up the clover head.
While pushing his long tongue down in
TO this tube he rubs some OF the pollen
or flower dust off the stamenS and as he
withdrawS from the tube this pollen is
left on the top OF the pistil. This process
is called "fertilizing." The pistils that
are properly fertilized develop a clover
seed at their base.
With all the clovers, il is necessary that
some insect visit them TO fertilize them.
The probosciS of the honey bee is so
short that it cannot perform such work
on the red clovers, but il can do this work
very well on the white clover, where
each little flower has shorter tube. The
honey bee performs such work when il
visits the buckwheat Hover and the bloom
of watermelons ana pumpkins.

Largest Stone Bridge.

The largest stone bridge in the world
is located at Lagang, China. Chinese
engineers had sole control ofits construc-
ton. II crosses an arm OF the China sea,
is nearly six miles in length, is composed
entirely OF stone, and has three hundred
arches, each seventy feet high. II is the
most colossal structure ever reared by
man, and yet fun is often pointed at the
Chinese for their building methods.
The largest truss bridge in the world
crosses the Firth of Tay, Scotland. II is
1867 feet in length and is composed OF
eighty-five spans.
The largest wooden bridge in the world
is that crossing Lake Ponchartrain, near
New Orleans. II is trestle work twen-
ty-one miles in length, built OF cypress
piles which have been saturated with
creosote oil TO preserve them.
The highest bridge in the United States
is over Kinzina creek, near Bradford, Pa.
II was built in 1882, has total span OF
2,05l feet and is three hundred and one
feet above the bed OF the creek.

Measles.

II seems almost impossible to make
people in general take properly serious
view about measles. The health officers
complain that no attention whatever is
paid to the matter, that cases are not re-
ported and that very few parents make
any attempt TO isolate or shield the well
children from the sick ones in the same
family.
The usual point of view taken seems 10
be that if is an unimportant and unavoid-
able ill, and that the sooner it is over with
the better. This point OF view is, OF
course, based on the indispensable fact
that most children do have the measles
sooner or later, and that in most cases it
is Slight matter, and that the percentage
of fatal cases is not high. Many children
have them with no more symptoms than
would attend a bad cold in the head, and
are not even sent to bed.
This attitude toward measles on the
part OF the general public is a distinctly
unfair one for several reasons, and il is a
matter that calls for the awakening OF the
public conscience as well as the educa-
ton OF the public mind. The parents OF
children Of school-going age should be
taught that measles may be very dan
gerous disease to children under three
years old, or to children who are badly
nourished, or suffering from some other
acute or chronic disorder.
II is contagious from the very start,
when it seems like rather violent cold
in the head, and before any eruption ap-
appears; and one child atthis stage may
be the means otonly otsending it through
an entire school, but also OF transmitting
il to the delicate small children and the
young babies in the homes.
This being the case, it is only fair that
such mothers as do not desire it for their
children should be given a chance to
avoid it. This is not too much to demand
when it is known that the State Depart
ment of Health for New York State pub
fishes that in one year there were more
than twelve hundred deaths in fifty-three
thousand reported cases, and that more
persons died OF measles than OF scarlet
fever.
Measles is the most "catchable" OF all
the contagious diseases, but it is pretty
we'll conceded that it can only be caught
from person who has it; it is not car
ried by the well. This being the case,
its control should not be difficult. Every
child who develops somewhat violent
attack of coryza, with running eyes and
all the usual symptoms OF cold in the
head, should be isolated for day or two
and watched for the development of the
characteristic eruption. When this comes
out il is certain the child has not "cold'
but has measles, and its isolation should
be continued until the eruption has en-
tirely faded.

In a short time cream colored postal
cards printed in red ink will take the
place Of the present cards OF black ink
design. This is an effort 10 present an
artistic card, and the government is pre-
pared to spend $4,000 more this year
than last in this decorative effort. This
may seem extravaganza, but when one
learns that the profit on the sale oi postal
cards exceeds SS,OOO,OOO year the ex-
ira expense seems justified. Besides,
the department hopes that the cards will
be so much more attractive that added
sales will more than meet the extra ex-
pense.

that the sectional line was brought up
