One Misery of AnqIo-Indian Life.

Every night at dinner the Anglo-In-
dian holds a kind Of levee. The in
sects which attend dance gayly round
the lamp, and one has to watch ones
plate and glass carefully lest some Of
the insects should dance into them.
There is one insect-a little, fiat, brown,
shining creature-which emits the
worst odor in the world. If one Of
these touches your food the whole is
tainted and rendered inedible. You
dare not kill these pests, for if one be
the whole room becomes fill
ed with its disgusting smell and is
uninhabitable for the next half hour.
So these abominable insects fly about
with impunity, while the poor Anglo
Indian must perforce look helplessly
on and inwardly sigh "spero meliora."

In the foreground should be seen the

midday to midnight with its stars, the
sun being low in the sky.-Henry Da-

How to Ride,

In riding sit erect and don't SLOUGH
along. Don't try to be a cowboy If
you are not. We have the real simon
pure cowpunchers and broncho bus
tiers; also we have the tin horn variety
Of the same species. Steer clear of
the latter; also be careful not to get
into this category yourself.
Remember that horse is only flesh
and blood and not a machine. He gets
tired, hungry and thirsty, and for
goodness sake, treat him accordingly.
Because he is lively horse and you
are paying his hire, treat him white
just the same Remember that some
one else rode him yesterday, and an
other will probably do so tomorrow.
Give your horse the same kind Of a
deal you yourself would demand If
you were in its place. Even a broncho
has feelings and will appreciate your

Fire Versus Life Insurance..

OF the 100000 or 30 dwellings IN
the United States o. per cent are pro-
tected-at least to some extent-by
fire insurance. But Of our 100, 00O,000
inhabitants only Is per cent have tax
en- out life insurance policies. Men
seem to be more uneasy over the mere
possibility of the burning Of their
houses than over the stern certainty
that death will some day overtake
them. This Is a strange contradiction
in human nature. To safeguard the
nations material possessions is well,
but how much more valuable than the
homes are the human lives Of the
country! In this age, when the prin-
ciples of life insurance are so well
understood, there should be no such
discrepancy between the number Of
homes and Of lives insured. In many
instances the former could not be
saved from foreclosure were the earn.
ers of incomes to pass away leaving
the families unprovided for. 1t is as
much the duty Of every man to insure
his life as to insure his property, and
If he has no insurable property there
is all the more reason for insuring his
life.-Leslie's.

Exploding Ice.

To make a piece Of ice explode the
hrst step Is to put on a plate lump Of
clear ice about as large as your fist.
Then with a reading glass OF the lens
OF a magnifying glass focus the suns
rays so that the bright spot Of light Is
exactly In the center Of the lump. In
little time the ice will begin to melt
from the inside, and after a few mo-
ments a small cavity will appear, for
the ice, having expanded In freezing,
will not take up so much room when
melted. The cavity, being entirely sur
rounded by ice, will be a partial vac
uum, filed with a watery vapor Of very
low pressure. When you have melted
large cavity lay the glass aside and
let the ice melt In the sun. Turn it
occasionally so that it will be sure to
melt evenly round the cavity. After
awhile the cavity will be surrounded
by a thin shell Of ice. Then, because
of the great pressure on the outside
0about fifteen pounds to the square
inch), the thin walls will suddenly
collapse, and the ice will fly in all di-
rections.-Youth's Companion.

The Colder Henisphere,

DR.. George G. Simpson of the Indian
meteorological service at Simla, in In
Ola, who asserted that the southern
hemisphere is much colder than the
northern, gives in the Scientific Amer.
lean the reasons on which he bases his
opinion. The air is warmed not by the
rays of the sun, which simply pass
through it, but by the earth, which alb
serbs the rays. Now, in the northern
hemisphere there is much land toabsorb
the energy Of the sun and to give heat
to the air.. In the southern hemisphere
there is much less land, and all the
land within the antarctic circle is per-
manently covered with ice, which forms
a virtually perfect reflector and which
sends back into space most Of the solar
energy that falls upon it Five mil
lion square miles of the earth's surface
In the southern hemisphere reflect into
space a large part Of the energy re-
ceived from the sun-a fact that in it
self is enough to account for a consid-
cradle difference in temperature.

A Painters Broken Arm.

A friend once entered the studio of
George Inness, the American land
scape painter, while he was at work
and remarked that the picture on the
easel seemed to him much better than
certain former works of the artist.
"Rightw said Inness. "This is going
to be one Of my best things, and the
reason is that 1 have had the good
luck to break my right arm and am
obliged to paint with my left hand.
You see," he added, showing his right
hand in a sling, 'this hand had be-
come so darned clever that could not
catch up with it, and it painted away
without me, while this hand'-show-
ing the left, with which he held his
brush-"is awkward and can do moth

In the Same Boat.

Sam had come home from school,
hungry, as usual. Tossing his spelling
book on the kitchen table, he FASTENED
to the pantry and began an investiga-
ton of cake box, cupboards and cooky
jar.
Suddenly the back doOrbell rang.
Leaving his improbable search, Sam
uel went to answer. On the steps
stood an unshaven, long haired man
whose clothes needed a tailor and a
laundry worker.

a low, aggrieved tone, "and should
like somethin' to eat"

The IYre Bird.

The fully developed male Tyre bird
is one of the most handsome and nota-
BILE of the forms of bird life Of Queens
land. The contour Of the bird, with
its long neck and stout gallinaceous
feet, is by no means unlike that Of a
peacock, and the wonderful tail, pos
sessed only by the male birds, fulflls
a corresponding role Of vain display.
The bird executes antics for a train
Of female admirers on a raised earth
en- mound. For a short period Of the
year, about January, the Tyre bird loses
its characteristic plumes and has to be
content with the sober plumage Of its
mate
