It has been seriously asserted by. many people that we are naturally | lighter after a meal. and they have 4 even gone the length of explaining this by the amount of gas*that is. developed from the food. Ayeraga observations, however, show that we. iose three pounds six ounees between night and morning; that-we gain one pound twelve ounces by breakfast; that we again lose about fourteen ounces before: luneh;,,that lunch puts on an average of abeut one pound; that we again lose during the after- noon an average of ten ounces, but that an ordinary dinner to ‘healthy persons adds two pounds two ounces to their weight.

In the neighborhood of Bourne- mouth, England, recently, during the construction of a new road the exca- vators cut into @ mound, which is in- dicated upon the map as’ an ancient buriel ground, and a large sun-baked clay urn was unearthed. “It was in a remarkable state of preservation and was intact.

Margaret of Navarre, queen of Hen- ry tV—sae whose wedding torches were quenched in the blood of: the massacre of St. Bartholomew—wore a peculiar complexion mask at night, which so irritated her husband that, not being choice in his expressions, he said to her roundly, not long after the wedding day: “Madam, with that eonfounded black mask on, you Icol: so much like the devil that [I'm always tempted to make the sign of the cross to drive you away.” THE Bik WE WORSHIP, American Eagle Furnishes Wonderful Example of Constancy.

Colonel Dick Woods, editor of a paper in Mount Sterling, Ky., was a guest of a friend in Chicago a few days ago, and his presence reealled the manner in which the colonel in troduced Eli Perkins to am audience in Mourt Sterling Perkins, whose real,name is Mek ville Landon, when doing stunts as a lecturer for. a@ lyeeum burgau, ak ways wanted some prominent citizen to introduce him to the audience, not withstanding that he. was the sole at- | traction and the only name on tte }, program. Colenel Woods was not par- ticularly fond of Bli, but he was. po- lite to him, and Eli became very in- sistent that the newspaper editor should present him. Eli stuck to the cotonel, and at the proper time dragged him, reluctantly, upon the platform. The editor stood for a moment, awkwardly ‘ooking. over the audience, as if seeking a loophole of escape, and then, address- ing an acquaintance, he sald: “Judge Rogers, let me introduce. you to Mr. Perkins. 4 ‘carbonate of lime | every day.

Once an old Apache Indian, when asked the question why. his people painted theif faces, told thig little le gend: “Long. ago, when men, were weak and animals. were big. and strong, a ehief of the red=men who lived in these mountains went out. to get a deer, for his people were hungry. “After walking all day he saw>a eeer and shot at it, but the arrow was turned aside and wounded a mountain, lion, which was also after the deer.“ When the lion felt the sting of the arrow he jumped up and beund- ec after the man, who ran for his life, “He was almest exhausted and, when he. feit his. strength giving way, ke fell to, the ground, calling on the big bear, who, you know, is the grand father of men, to save him. “The big bear heard the eall and saw that to, save the man he. had to, act quickly, so he seratched his foot | and sprinkled his blood over the man, “Now, you must know that go ani- mai will eat of the bear or taste of his blood. So when the lion reached the man he smelled the blood and turned away, but as he did so, his foot scraped the face of the man, leaving the marks of his elaws on the blood- smeared face. “When the man found that he was uninjured he was so thankful that he eft the blood dry on his face and never washed it at all, but left it untih it peeled off. “Where the claws of the lon If he had acquired rigid- | scraped it of there were marks that turned brown in the sun, and where the blood stayed on it was lighter. Now all men paint their faces that way with blood and serape it off in gtreaks when they hunt or go, to, wat.” ARSENIC TO POISON TREES. Simple Matter to et Rid of Unwel gome. Foliage. A gardener discovered the frct re- eently that trees are often sent to an untimely death by poison, usually ar- senie. The reascn for this does not appear until one hears the man’s ex- planation. Suppese a man has rented a house which “has too much shade, fair weather, | ‘have peculiar » the law will not allow him to, have one or more of the trees cut down without the consent of the owner. As ft often happens that tenants and landlords hold different views cn the | subject of shade the trees remain as ® bone of contention. It is then that the gardener is called to administer s a dose of poison, for when a wee is dead the tenant may have it remeved. Five cents’ worth of arseni¢e is suf ficient to kill a large tree. A hole is made in, the trunk, the arsenic drop- ped in, and nature does the rest. It ? never fails. Mammy's Geod-By.

Night brought us to the miserable peon village of Palencia, says a syriter, and aS we could get no ac- | commcdation in the cane cabins we ‘were obliged to sleep in our ham- rocks. The place swarmed with bassin sna toes, and while Tipe-Chico slept soundly I arese and built a fire ip whose smoke I passed the night. But H if Tipe was immune to. the plague of | mosquitoes he did not escape a more serious pest. When I met him in the morning his great toe was still bleed- | | ing and his hammock was stained | with elotted blood. Nobody in Yucatan could explain to me how the vampire manages to draw such a large quantity of bloed—from six to ten ounces—while its victim” j all the time remains in a profound | sleep. I have never heard of any one | waking while the vampire bled him, | ; indeed, so gently does this nocturnal surgeon draw blood that the patient by some mysterious process is lulled ; into a profound sleep. \ The vampire measures about two | feet from wing tip ‘to wing tip, has very sharp teeth, not unlike those cf a rat, and attacks sleeping animals } as well as human beings..
