The Yaws.

On the west coast of Africa the na- tives call the raspberry yaw. It hap pens that one of the pleasing diseases that come out from that quarter of the globe is characterized by dusky red spots that appear on the body and soon grow into ulcers about the size and looks of the raspberry. So this disease is called the yaws. It is contagious and downright disagreeable. White sailors bring it back with them to their own discomfort and the disgust of those at home. Yaws prevails also ill the Fiji islands and in Samoa, but ill these two places children mainly are attacked. and the natives regard the disease in the same light as civilized persons look at measles-almost cer- tainty to have and the sooner over with the better.

Doors In China,

In China doors are often round. leaf shaped or semicircular. In placing them the builder usually avoids having one opposite another lest evil spirits find their way from the street into the recesses of the building. The door, ways separating the courts of a gar den are usually of an elaborate kind, and the octagonal form is one of the most popular: Religious superstition asserts itself in Chinese architecture, and the universal sacredness of the numerals 3 and 9 is shown in the ar engagement of temple doors. There is a triple gateway to each of the halls of the imperial palace. and the same order prevails at the Ming tombs. The Temple of Heaven has a triple roof, triple marble staircase, and all its mys- tie symbolism points either 10 3 or its multiples.

SHORT LIFE OF BIG GUNS.
Every Time a Rifle Is Fired Some of
 It's Bore Is Worn Away.


 The life of the gun, so far as its ab- solute destruction by bursting is con- cerned, is practically unlimited, but not so it's accuracy life. Every time gun is fired some of the interior sur face of its bore and delicate rifling are wiped away, and certain degree of its accuracy is lost
 This is true of the shoulder rife, with it's bore so small that it would not much more than admit lead pen Gil, no less than of the great sixteen inch siege gun and the other grades of artillery pieces.
 Fortunately for the infantryman, the wear on the bore of the shoulder rifle is much slower, as the wearing out of the bore decreases rapidly with q de crease in the size of the bore. Ero- sion, as 1t is called by the artillerymen. is greatest in the large guns and least in the 30 rife.
 The big guns which form the main batteries of our warships and are em- placed in our coast Notifications can fire from 15O to 25O rounds (dependent upon the pressure and heat in the pow der chamber) before they begin to lose their accuracy.-Scientific American.

Woman's Logic.

You sometimes wonder about the logic of the feminist mind.
 A man was to meet his wife at her office at o'clock to take luncheon with her. He was twenty minutes late. She had gene out.
 He sat down and waited. At 30 she arrived.
 What are you doing hcre?" she asked.
 i'm waiting for you.'
 Didn't you know l wouldn't come back after I'd given you up and gone out?"
 But you did come back. didn't you? You are back now. aren't you?"
 Yes, but you might have known that when 1 did come back 1 would have had my lunch and there would be no use in waiting to have it with me-"
 "Well, have you had it?'
 "No."-Denyer News.

ANCIENT TOOTHPICKS.
They Used to Be Made of Silver and
 Were Worn In the Hat.

Were Worn In the Hat.
 The employment of toothpicks is very ancient. In Grote's History of Greece" we find that Agathocles, "among the worst of Creeks" was poisoned by q medicated quill handed to him for cleaning his teeth after dinner.
 Toothpicks were in common use in the time of the Caesars. Martial tells us those made of chip of mastic wood Qentiscus) are the. best, but that if you run short of such timber quill will serve your purpose, and he ridicules an old flop who was in the habit of dig ging away at his gums with his polish ed lentiscus, though he had not n tooth left in his head.
 Toothpicks occur early of silver, but pieces of wood or of feathers with a red end as quills in our day were most usual. The toothpick is the Anglo-Sax- on tothgare. The old name was pick tooth. It was imported by travellers from Italy and France, and the using of it was long deemed an affected mark of gentility. It was worn as q trophy in the hat, and Sir Thomas Overbury describes courier, the pink of fashion, with picktooth in his hat"
 Bishop Earle says of an idle gallant, His picktooth bears great part in his discourse. ."-London Telegraph.

OUR FIRST NEWSPAPER.
1t Was Published In 1890 and Lasted
 Just One Issue.

Just OHe lSSue'
 The first newspaper printed ill North America was Publick Occurrences, which issued it's first and only number in 1890 in Boston, The publisher, Ben jamin Harris, proposed to get 1t out monthly, but the authorities came down on the project like ton of brick" and Harris had to abandon the scheme.
 Publick Occurrences was printed on three pages of folded sheet, the pages being by II inches in size. It was Printed by k. Pierce for Benjamin Harris at the London Coffee House" in Boston. The authorities alleged that it contained "reflections of very high nature," and within twenty four hours of the appearance of the first number the editor and publisher was solemnly warned that repetition of the offense would merit severe punishment.
 That Memorable Documents of Di- vine Providence not to be neglected or forgotten, as they too often are," and '"That people everywhere may better understand the Circumstances of Pub. lique Affairs, both abroad and at home," Harris founded his journal, and it was pity that he should have been thwarted in his design ''that the Coun- try shall be furnished once month tor if any Gut of Occurrences happen oftener). with an Account of such con- siderable things as have arrived unto our Notice. ."-New York World.

WHAT IS FEAR7
A Feeling Based on the Instinct of Self
 Preservation.


 Preservation.
 That well known investigator of psychological abstrusities, M. Fernando Mazade, has attracted much attention | by q discussion of the query, What | is fear?" The famous psychological playwright, Alfred Capus, who has dealt with the human emotion with such fidelity in his masterpieces. writes:
 In general, think that when there is an accident or an illness one has not sufficient perception of the peril to have the feeling of fear. Fear implies q consciousness of danger and the re- fusal or moral impossibility to face it. Fear consists in capitulating to the 1n- stinct of self preservation
 M Victor Marguerite says: "Fear is physical trouble much more than feeling" and can ultimately be over- come by force of will. NJ. Alfred Me zieres of the French academy consid- CTS that fear is caused by some unex- pected danger. M. Pouchet of tho Academy of Medicine doubts whether any man naS ever DeeH qulle 1lee oi fear for himself or for others.
 M. Sicard, who is q professor at the Faculty of Medicine, considers fear or courage to be the result of tempera- ment, training and thought. Fear can be partially eradicated by reasoning and education, but it will never be overcome in its most acute form namely, the instinct of self preserva- ton. The conclusion is that it is far from being unanimously admitted that fear is a ridiculous malady.-Philadel- phia North American.
