A Touch of Human Nature.

The doors which open from the side walk into the lobby of big building are heavy ones and are very hard to open. Yesterday a little hunchback stepped out of an elevator on the first floor, followed by a great big man. The hunchback reached the doors first and threw himself against one. AL though be pushed with all his might, he couldn't open it. Chagrined, he step ped back, and the big man stepped up. Noticing the look of humiliation on the face of the little fellow, the big man said:
 "I've got sore wrist. Come on; let's see if we both can't open it."
 The hunchback and the big man both pushed on the door, and of course 1t opened. The two went out smiling.
 The big man had no sore wrist at all. Two or three people looking on felt like cheering for him.-New York Tele- graph.

B.Jovir,. Thr.o Trsasvr,,-

There are always three things up' permost in the Bedouin's mind-hig gun, his horse and his wives. The most modern arms of precision have replaced the primitive spear which, until a few years ago, was the usual weapon. The Bedouin is quick to ro"l. ize the efficiency of modern weapons and soon becomes an expert marks man. So much has the spear fallen out of favor that the bearer of one would be ridiculed in his own camp. Such pride has the Bedouin in his weapons that even in his leisure hours he sits fully armed, examining and cleaning each piece in turn, making himself accustomed to carrying their weight. No youth considers himself q man until he has fully equipped him self. A sword Is much esteemed, but generally only as an heirloom and as giving distinction to the bearer. There are to be found many excellent blades among the sheiks, some with a his tory of hundreds of years, having been handed down from father to son. Wide World Magazine.

shootino the Seal,

Seals are caught in a variety of ways, but they are very shy creatures and the greatest caution must be exercised in approaching them. Even when they have been struck by harpoon or rife bullet the blow must be fatal and death instantaneous, or the animal will drop into its hole in the ice and be seen no more. Indeed, the fact that q seal sell dom moves far from its hole adds con- siderably to the hunters difficulties. The plan usually adopted by Eskimo hunters is to build up a kind of tent sledge. The sides and front are mask cd with bearskin, the top with the pelt of hare The native hides within this novel tent and inch by inch propels himself over the ice till he is near his quarry. The rifle with which he stays his seal is brought into use through a loophole in the sledge covering.

Animals Attack the Lunos.

Watch any flesh eating animal when 1t Is attacking its prey or watch two animals having q fight to the death. You will notice one remarkable fact, and that Is that they strike for the lungs. Most people, of course, are we'll aware where their own lungs are, but they haven't the slightest idea about any other lungs. Animals in- stinctively know, however, the posi- ton of the lungs of almost every oth- CT animal When q tiger or a lion at Jacks a man 1t does its best to get just below the shoulder blades. If it strikes without warning you will al- ways find that It's powerful paws have torn right through to the lungs. A cat has just the same Instinct. It goes for the lungs-the vital spot just the same as its bigger brothers. Watch 1t stalk a sparrow and you will see how cleverly it maneuvers go as to get behind the unfortunate ablrd and bounce on Its back, where the lungs are.-London Graphic.

Corporation Tax

Internal Revenue Collector Robert O.. Eaton. said the other day there were still a few corporations that had not filed their returns in the matter of the corpor- ation tax. "But I cannot say how many have been negligent. There is severe penalty in such cases and shall have to send in the names of the delinquent cor porations and it is up to the commission CT to say just what will be done. But I think the law has been complied with better than last year.
 "Thls corporation tax collects about s1 ,OOO. 900 in this district. Now that is quite a sum to collect in so small a terri tory. It is very important district for so small territory. I should say that there would be an increase in revenue from corporation taxes in. this district this year, but just how much it will be, I cannot say"

Despite the marvellous advance of exploration in various parts of the globe, an estimate as submitted by a member of the Royal Geographical society in London shows that no less than 2o,oo0,oOo square miles of tho earth's surface yet remain unexplored. The largest unexplored area is said to be that in Africa-6, 800, 900 miles-but even North America contains 100000 square miles of virgin territory.

Maeea,s Polluted We'll.

A scientific analysis has been made of the Zem-Zem water from the sacred well at Mecca, which, according to the Arabs, Is the we'll that the angel show cd to Hagar and whose water saved the life of Ishmael. After reading the results of the analysis one cannot won der that pilgrims who drink the water frequently are attacked by cholera. The specimen examined contained six ty-nine grains of chlorine to the gallon. Water which contains so little as nine grains of chlorine to the gallon is ordi- narily regarded as scarcely fit for hu- man consumption. Moreover, in the case of the Zem-Zem well it is believed the chlorine originates from the GUS tom of pouring the water over the pill grims and allowing it to run back into the well. The sacred water was found to possess an extraordinary degree of hardness" three times as great as that of average water/ It also held twenty times as much ammonia compounds as drinking water should contain.

How to Walk.

There is no virtue in a dawdling saunter. The slow and languid drag ging of one foot after the other which some people call walking would tire an athlete. It utterly exhausts weak person, and that Is the reason why many delicate persons think they can not walk. To derive any benefit from the exercise it is necessary to walk with light, elastic step which swings the weight of the body so easily from one leg to the other that its weight is not felt and which produces a healthy glow, showing that the slug gish blood is stirred to action in the most remote veins.
