Smoking the Nargile. A Greek thus tells how the nargile 1s smoked by his brethren: “Only pure tobacco is used in the nargile. It is grown expressly for the purpose in Persia. The weed there i3 called tumbeky. This kind of tobacco 18 first washed two or three times by the man who keeps the restaurant. He puts it under a faucet and squeezes the juice out. Otherwise the tobacco would be too strong. Then, when the smoke of it is drawn through the wa- ter, the tobacco having, of course, been dried first, all the nicotine is deposited in the water, and a delightful and in- nocuous smoke is the result.” QUICKSILVER MINING. An Occupntion That Quickly Dooms the Workers. The chief quicksilver mines in Eu- rope are in the Spanish town Almaden, which is an Arabie word, meaning “the mine of quicksilver.” These mines were formerly worked by the Iberians and after them by the ancient Romans. Between 1045 and 1848 the Spanish government employed galley slaves in them, an occupation that soon ended in death. The fumes of the mercury pro- duce constant salivation, and the sys tem becomes permeated with the metal. At first the vietim is seized with tremblings and then the teeth drop out: pains in the bones follow and then death., The annual yield of mercury is 1,500,000 pounds, to produce which 4,000 men are engaged in this unhealthy enmployment. After Almaden, so far as yield of quicksilver is concerned, comes Idria, an Austrian town, twenty-eight miles from Triest. These mines also were once worked by eriminals, who, owing to the terrible qualities of the mineral. expired after about two years’ service. There are now nearly 500 miners en gaged In the work at Idria, They are Induced to enter the mines by high pay. A pension is allowed when they are disabled, and provision is made for their widows and children.—Pearson’s, FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE WILL CURE YOU of any case of Kidney or Bladder disease that is not beyond the reach of medi- cine.

If a belated wan- derer fails to wash the dishes and leave a supply of dry wood sufficient to build a fire and cook a meal he is at once tabooed and his companionship is not sought after. — Northwestern Sports- man. The ‘Size of the Sun. The sun, provided we measure only the disk seen with the smoked glass, i 866,000 miles in diameter—i. e., 103 earths could be comfortably ranged side by side across the disk. To cover the surface would require many thou- sands. To fill the interior we should need 1,300,000. On a smaller scale we might represent the sun by a ball two feet in diameter and the earth by a good sized grain of shat. Let the sun be hollowed out, then place the earth at its center and let the moon revolve about it at its real distance of 240,000 miles. There would yet remain nearly 200,000 miles of space between the moon’s orbit and the inclosing shell of the sun. Indeed to journey from vne side of the sun to the other, through the center, would take one of our swift express trains nearly two and a half years. So vast a globe must be heavy. A Bride’s Dilemma. A successful schoolteacher married a wealthy widower. The man had lived alone with his servants since the death of his first wife. On the morning aft- er the bride's arrival in her new home the cook appeared for orders. Now, the little woman ywas far more familiar with the classies than with roasts and stews, and she was not a little dismay- ed when Mary innocently put the ques- tion: “An’ how will ye have the beef cook- ed, mum?” For the merest instant she hesitated. Not for a fortune would she have the old servant? suspect bher absolute ig- norance of cookery. But her years in the schoolroom bad not been in vain. Calmly and sweetly she answered: “Yon may cook it your way today, Mary, and then another time you can try my way * And the cook went downstairs with a high opinfon of her new mistress.— New York Press. Superstitions of Farmers. Farmers “stick to the moon™ in re- gard to planting corn and other crops. Some of them will not under any cir- cumstances plant ecorn on moonlight nights, claiming that corn planted then will produce a tall stalk with a short ear. Others just as successfully plant when they are ready, when nights are dark or moonlight, as the case may be. Other notions are Indulged In, such as throwing the cobs In running water to keep corn from firing. Some farmers would under no consideration burn pinder hulls, the seed of which is to be used for planting. They must be scat- tered along a path or highway, to be trodden upon in order to sccure a good crop. Green butter beaun hulls must be thrown In a road after being shelled for table use from day to day to insure a good crop the following season.— Charleston News and Courler.

The Way Filipino Penitents Tor- ture Themselves, One of the many curious customs practiced by some persons in the Phil- Ippine Islands is the way in which they observe the week before Baster. For the Thursday, Friday and Saturday before Baster the streets or roads on the outskirts of some villages and sometimes the principal streets of the town itself are filled with crowds, who bave come to see the natives inflict self torture. The willing vietims are stripped to the waist, their faces are covered with a thick cloth and around one hand is a heavy hemp rope. with a cluster of from fifteen to twenty smaller hempen cords. To cach oi these is fastened a small piece of ‘hard wood. The whole thing is just lon:x enough so that when flung over the shoulder it will not quite reach to the waist. ‘When the penitents are ready to start out a Filipino, who has been appointed as a sort of overseer, takes the flesh of the back between his thumb and first finger and cuts the skin with a long bolo. This is done all over the back. He then cries, *“Alla, sigie” (“Go ahead”). Then the penitent begins to beat his back by lashing his cluster of little pieces of wood and cords first over one shoulder, then over the other. ontil the back is so lacerated that it somewhat resembles raw beef. All the while the onlookers and victims also are singing, or, rather, chanting, a most dismal, unearthly funereal chant.—New York Tribune. Taming a Rat.
