The latest fad of the very ‘rich is sunshine, obtained at any, cost and almost at will. Verandas are ‘glassed in to form sun parlors, and rooms to. which the, sun comes im the natural course of events aré furnished vaceord- + ingly. Then there is no anxiety. over the fading: of: carpets andi-hangings. A room seen recently contained rugs warranted to resist the influence of the sun, ecru curtains and rattan fur- ni . Whose cushions were covered with Java cotton; in bright colors, that elible. It was very pretty ‘and and had the sun a good part of the day in its early hours. ; Urn Buried for 2,000 Years. In the neighborhood of Bourne- mouth, England, recently, during the construction of a new road «the exca- vaiors cut inte a mound, which is in- dicated upon the map as‘an ancient 1 ground, and a large sun-baked urn was unearthed. “It was in a remarkable state of preservation and was intact. The roots of the heather bad forced their way into the interior uf the receptacle and tuto the ashes and dust it contained. The urn was estimated to be 2,000 years old. a Beauty Mask Displeased King. port of the anima! life of the abyss, he fell to, the ground, calling on the A very large number of the deep sea_ jig hear, who,, you know, is the grand animals are exceedingly tenuous or translucent in form—so te put it—hav- . ing no, special organs of nutrition, but aking in their nourishment through e walls of their bodies, appropriat. 4 ng from thé water the food which suits them.

A fameus French general, when asked how it was that he had such an erect carriage, replied that it was because he bent over and touched ‘the-ftoor with his fingers thirty times every day. If he had acquired rigid- ity of the spine so that he could not dco that, he would have had with it weak abdomina: museles, which re- sult in portal eongestion. *This por- tal ‘congestion interferes with stom- ach digestion and with the action of the liver. The poison-destroying pow- er of the liver is lessened, autointoxi-, cation results, and arteriosclerosis and old age come on at a much earlier day: But by keeping the spine fiexi- ble and the abdominal muscles. strong: and taut the portal cireulation is kept free and old age is held off.—Good Health. * Certain Weather Indications. Distant sound heard distinetly fore. bodes no good weather. If the sun “draws up water” it will rain. The pitcher sweating and the teakettle boiling dry also indicate rain. Cob- webs thickly spread upon the grass are an indication of fair weather. father off 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 30 ani- | mai will eat of the, bear or taste of his blood. So wher 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 left the blood dry en his face and never washed it at all, but left it untik it peeled off. i “Where the claws of the lion turned brown in the sun, and where ‘the blood stayed on it was lighter. Now alk men paint their faces that way with blood and scrape it off in streaks when they hunt or go. to, war.” ARSENIC TO POISON TREES. imple Matter to Get Rid of Unwel- gome. Foliage. A gardener discovered the fact 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. Suppose a man has rented a house which ‘nas too much shade, 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 tenanis and landlords hold different views cn the | subject of shade the trees remain as 2 bone of contention It is then that | the garderier is ealled to administer !a dose of pgison, for when a tree is Margare, of Navarre, queen of Hen- | animal life’ seems, according to the | dead the tenant may have it remaved. ry tV—ske 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: go much like the devil that I'm always tempted to make the sigm of the cross to drive you away.” THE BsRkD WE WORSHIP, American Eagle Fyurnishes Wonderful Example of Censtancy. In the discussion of the marriage question it, has sometimes been denied \yhat, the birds of the air are mgnoga- mous. But the bird of bigds, and the one that we most eherish as the em blem of the glorious American repub- lic, certainly is. The American eagle never mates but enee, and lives with that one mate uli Re or she dies. Lf left a widower —even a young widower—the bald- headed eagle never mates again. » He remains alone and disconsolate near. the heme he once shared with his former mate, and no other eagle can ever tempt him to forsake it or share it with another. Divorce is unknown with the Ameri- cam eagle, He took her for better or for worse, and death alone separated them. With him it is, onee a widow er, always a widower, It is singular that his. example is. so seldom quoted. MUMOR BEFORE THE LECTURE. 3 RIEU Novel Manner in, Which Eli Perkins “¥as Introduced to Audience. 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 bureau, ak ways wanted some prominent citizen to introduce him tothe audience, not- withstanding that he. was the sole at- traction and the only name on tte program. Colonel 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 colonel, 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 popular notien, to warnings regarding, the weather changes. Some of these are explain- able by natural causes. It is a fact recognized by all intelligent stock- men that cattle have. an intimation of an approaching storm some hours be fere it is visible to the human eye. There is a certain restlessness which the cowboy has learned to. imterpret at once. — All Positions Have Drawbacks.

Queer Police: Force. The policemen in Hayti are paid by results. They get capitation fees for all the arrests they make, As they “ come from the worst class. of the pop- ulation and are under no, discipline, it foltawe that a man is very liable to be arrested in Hayti unless he is willing to pay the policeman more than the.caiptation fee. As this fee jv only 15 cents, the price of freedom Is hot Erohibitien Pesan snes while Never Awakes its Victim Draws the Blood, Night brought us to the miserable -peon village of Palencia, says a , writer, and as we could get no ac- }eommedation in the cane cabins we ‘were obliged to sleep in, our ham- mocks. The place swarmed with mosqui- toes, and while Tipe-Chico slept summdly I arose and built a fire ig whose smoke I passed the night. But 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 clotted blood. i 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” all the time remains in a profound | sleep.
