In some reminiscences of Sir Fred- erick St. John, a diplomatist who served his country (England) well, we have the facts which prompted Gen. Gordon to carry no weapon but a cane when leading the imperial troops dur- ing the Tai-ping struggle. “When acting in conjunction with the Chinese general, San-ko-lin-sin, against either Nankin or Foochow, Gordon received a message from the rebel leaders offering submission if their lives were guaranteed. Having obtained the consent of the Chinese commander, he agreed. The town sur- rendered, and the three rebel chiefs appeared before San-ko-lin-sin. He, seeing that they had not shaved their heads in sign of submission, had them decapitated on the spot. Whereupon, exasperated beyond control by such treachery, Gordon armed himself with a revolver, and was hastening to the general’s tent with the intention of chastising him in the most summary manner for his breach of faith, when suddenly he paused, and coming, on reflection, to the conclusion that his contemplated act was simple murder, be threw away his weapon and regis. tered a vow that. so long as he re- mained in China, he would never again carry any weapon more formid able than a cane.” is NOT A “BRAIN FOOD.” Idea to the Contrary Is Proved to Be Fallacy. Fish is credited, even by educated people, with specia! properties that it cannot be truthfully said to possess. Chief amongst these is the idea that fish is par excellence a “brain food.” Dr. Hutchison traces the origin of this fallacy in the following way:—-Bunch- er, the great philosopher, laid down as a vital principle the dictum, “Without phosphorus there is no thought.” This is half truth, as, although the brain is known to contain phosphorus, it has yet to be shown that an increase of the amount of phosphorus taken in the food benefits the brain in the slightest degree. Agassiz, the naturalist, who was informed by Dumas that iish was rich in phosphorus, came to what he thought was a legitimate conclusion when he promulgated the statement that fish was a “brain food.” It will thus be seen that this popular impres- sion, which has been repeated and copied countless numbers of times, is without foundation, and is yet another FISH ; instance of thousands of people being misled through someone having that little knowledge which is so danger- ous.—Sanitary Record. Ancient Injunction to Apprentices. No new thing is the servant prob- lem. Here is an injunction to ap- prentices issued by the English Court of Common Council in 1527: “You shall constantly and devoutly on your knees, every day, serve God, morning and evening, and endeavor the right practice thereof in your life and con versation. You shall avoid all evil company; and make speedy return when you shall be sent on your mas- ter’s business. You shall be of fair, gentle and lowly speech and behavior toward all men. And according to vour carriage expect your reward, for ‘ood or ill, from God and your New Light on Ballooning. In a French School the boys were asked to write on the invention of bailoons. “Balloons were invented,” wrote one, “by the Brotuers Montgol- fier, who were papermakers. They took a large balloon and filled it with paper. They then set light to the paper and the balloon went up.” An- other boy wrote: “When the aero- stats—such being the name given to men who ride ‘n balloons-—wish to come down, they fetch some sand and gravel and put it in the balloon.” A third boy informed his examiners that “the aeronaut places himseif within the balloon, the basket being used for provisions.” Nature’s Panoramic Display. A marvelous display of atmospheri¢ reflection peculiar to the Alps was wit- nessed the other day by passengers in the Paris-Frankfort express. Shortly after leaving Metz a wonderful pano- rama developed in the horizon on the western side. The sun seemed to light up the whole Alpine chain, the great mass of Mont Blanc stood out clearly marked, its sides covered with snow and its glaciers reflecting the sun- beams. At one moment the lake of Geneva was visible, its water tinged a greenish blue. The mirage faded only at sunset, as the train neared Faulque mont. It had lasted about twenty n> utes, YEARS ARE AS WE MAKE THEM. Milestones Need Frighten None But the Foollsh. I have very little regard for the fight against Time which spends it self on a strife with gray hairs and wrinkles. There used to be a picture Published as an advertisement in which an elderly woman had one side of her face all ironed out smoothly, while the other was wrinkled and worn. The wrinkled side was the more pleasing. As we grow older every line in the countenance shouid tell a story of loving deeds. We are making for ourselves in youth the masques we shall wear to the very end. Every fretful, discontented, dis- Satisfied expression writes itself upon the face so that the sweetest and ripest natures will have the rarest loveliness when they grow old. A woman is as old as she looks, and as old as she feels. A sign of our in- creased health and vitality to-day is found in the fact that a woman of fifty looks about as old as a woman formerly looked at thirty-five, and many an active woman of eighty has the vigor that was formerly common at sixty. The milestones need fright- en nobody. Older people are no longer put in, a corner, nor are they expected to hug the chimney corner. It is a woman’s obligation to be charming to her latest day.-—Mar- garet E. Sangster in Woman’s Home Companion. Annual WELL NAMED CANNIBAL PLANT. Nicaraguan Vegetable That Preys on Living Objects. On the shores of Lake Nicaragua is to be found an uncanny product of the vegetable kingdom known among the natives by the expressive name of “the devil’s noose.” How delighted Poe would have been to make this cannibal plant the subject of one of his weird stories! Dunstan, the naturalist, discovered it not long ago while wandering on the shores of the lake. Attracted by cries of pain and terror from his dog. |he found the animal held by black sticky bands, which had chafed the skin to the bleeding point. These bands were branches of a newly dis- covered carnivorous plant which has been aptly named “the land octopus.” The branches are flexible, black, polished, without leaves, and secrete a viscid fluid. They are also furnished with a great number of suckers, with which they attach themselves to their victims. It certainly deserves to be classed as the octopus of the vegetable world.—New York Herald. Vitality of the Ant. Ants have a wonderful power of ex- {sting long periods after losing im- portant parts of their bodies which are not reproduced. They have been known to live two weeks without the abdomen, which is so bulky in propor- tion to the rest cf the insect. Under the most favorable circumstances an ant may live more than a month after its head had been cut off. Ome case is recorded in which the rest of the ent moved about forty-one days after decapitation. Ants also revive after being submerged in water for many days, although they seem to be dead ‘a few minutes after they are im- | mersed. What Man Does Not Want. Woman has cause to be grateful for the publication of a volume dealing with feminine logic, for it forms, per- | haps, the first tangible recognition that such a quality exists in the mind | of the sex. But she is not thereby to | be flattered into the belief that it will raise her intellectual status in mascu- line estimation. Man does not want | the logical woman; as a logictan he is too offen conscious that che is the only safe receptacle of his wisdom, and when he informs her that his argu- ments are “sound logic,” he expects, and always will expect, her to believe | him.—Lady’s Pictorial. A Depressing Object. The bridegroom is generally the most depressing feature of the mod- ern wedding. If he is well off he is either bald, with a decided tendency to adipose tissue, or else of a pale sandy type, with equally pale eyes and a retreating chin. In ordinary life he wears spectacles, which at the request of the bride he discards at his wed- ding, with the result that he stumbles over the last step leading from the chancel to the altar aisles, and is only saved from falling flat on his face by desperately clutching at the bride’s bouquet—Ladies’ Field. Nicknames of Presidents. A number of Grant’s nicknames arose from his initials. Unconditional Surrender probably attained the wid- est popularity. The press of his day manufactured not a few U. 8. sobri- quets, like “Unprecedented Strategist, Undaunted Stalwart, and so on. The soldiers called him Old Three Stars, and he was also styled Hero of Appo- mattox. Garfield did not, of course, become the Martyr President until after his tragic death. He was also styled the Preacher President, from bis early calling. Surprise for a Clergyman. It is on record that the paster of the only Catholic church in a gmal! town in Eastern Massachusetts was obliged to raise some money for re- pairing the church. Finding that his eppeals met with little response, he decided to make a tour of the parish and solicit contributions. The loca! Mrs. Partington saw him approach the house, and, going to the door, she greeted the astonished gentleman with: “Come right in, revenue father,”
