A Strange Pond. ? Hicks pond, in Palmyra, Me., is a strange body of water. It is only twelve acres in area, but it is more >?han 100 feet in depth. It has no visi? ble inlet although a fair sized stream /flows from it into Lake Sebasticook. "The volume of its water is not mate? rially affected by either drought or treshet and the water is always cold.

I should feel inclin? ed to give it oil baths instead of water laths and try the effect.

Yet I dream my dreams and attend to my, castles, in Spain. I have so much property there that I could not in con? science neglect it. All the years of my youth and the hopes of my manhood are stored away, like precious stones, in the vaults, and I know that I shall find everything convenient, elegant and beautiful when I come into pos? session. As the years go by I am not conscious that my interest diminishes. If I see that age is subtly sifting his snow into the dark hair of my Prue; I smile, contented, for her hair, dark and heavy as when I first saw it, is all carefully treasured in my castles in Spain. Jf I feel her arm more heavily leaning upon. mine, as "Ve walk around the squares, I press it closely to my side, for I know that the easy grace of her youth's motion will be restored by the elixir of that Spanish air. If her voice sometimes falls less clearly from her lips, it is no less sweet to me, for the music of her voice's prime fills, freshly asever? those Spanish halls. If the light I love fades a little from her eyes; I know that the glances she gave me in her youth are the eternal sun? shine of my castles in Spain.-George W-X5urtis in ???rue and I." Why a. Limpet Stieles. The limpet has gained notoriety hy? the strength with which it adheres to the rock on /|rbieh it decides to rest The force required to detach the limpet from the rock has lately been tested by a well known naturalist who found that more than sixty pounds must be exerted for. the purpose So this little . thing, weighing about half an ounce, sticks so tightly that a force equal to two thousand times its own weight is necessary to drag it away. ' It was at one time supposed that at? mospheric pressure had something to do with the adhesive power of the lim? pet, but it is now generally agreed that the creature exudes a kind of glue for this purpose If you place your finger on the rock'immefliately after a limpet has been detached, you will feel that the surface is sticky, and if you allow your finger to remain there for a short time you will notice that it is begin? ning to stick_guite tightly.-Pearson's. Ancient Chinese Bridges. Suspension bridges which were built Jin the time of the Han dynasty (202 B. C. to 220 A. D.) are still standing, strik? ing examples of oriental engineering skill. According to historical and geo? graphical writers of China, it- was Shang Lieng, Kaen Tsu's chief of com? mand who undertook to construct the Jirst public roads in the flowery em? pire.. At that time it was almost im? possible-for the province* of Shense to communicate with the capital. Lieng took an army of 10,000 workmen and ?ut great gorges through the moun? tains, filling up the . canyons and val? leys with the debris from his' excava? tions. At places where deep gorges were traversed by large and rapidly flowing streams he actually carried out his plan of throwing suspension bridges, stretching from one slope to the other. These crossings, appropriately styled "flying bridges'" by early Chinese writ ens, are high /and/ dangerous looking in the extreme. At the present "day a bridge may still be seen in the Shense which is 400 feet long and is stretched over a chasT more than 1.000 feet deep. How-those early engineers erect? ed such a structure with the tools and appliances at their command is a mys tory which will probably ?never be ex? plained . Humor at St. Peter's. You would not look in St. Peter's for a practical joke, but one was perpetrat? ed by the unknown artist that carved the tomb of Pope Innocent XIL, who reigned from 1691 to 1700. His family name was Pigmatella. which is the Italian for a small jug, and the artist has introduced tiny jugs at every op? portunity among the embellishments. _ The.toe^of the famous bronze statue i>i? Bt Peter has been worn away by the kisses of the faithful, which prac? tice has given rise to the absurd but widely believed idea that pilgrims kiss the actual toe of the living pope. It is the ugliest thing "in St Peter's. The figure is of rude workmanship, and one is ready to believe the story that it was never intended for St Peter at all, but is an old statue of Jupiter Capitolinus unearthed in excavations, of the six? teenth century. The church authorities admit that it was cast from the bronze of a pagan statue, but claim that it was aiways intended for St Peter.-Rome Letter in Chicago Record-Herald. The Hand In Health. Let us shake hands with a man and we will tell you something about his health, says the London Doctor. The firm, hearty handshake of a sincere man may be rather rough, so that one is" taught he has a grip, but it indicates stamina. While denoting absence of tact and refinement it points to phys? ical strength. The flabby hand that retains no pressure belongs to the per? son who has no great strength of body or mind The quick, nervous handshake of an excitable, nervous temperament and its opposite, the nerveless, passive one, belong to persons in ill health. The hand that threatens to collapse or give means fear; The feel of the hand called magnetic indicates health and kindness and a desire to help others. In many ways we may decide charac? ter by the hand as well as the brain. The Carions Bexonr Stone. There is now no sale for bezoar stone's. The time was when this con? cretion was deemed very valuable, and many living men will remember hav? ing seen perfectly formed specimens sell for $5 or $10. to be carried in the pocket as lucky stones The bezoar stone is formed in the stomachs of cat? tle. It is calcareous and as hard as a bit of limestone but the core is gener? ally a mass of hair licked from the Mde of the animal and carried into the stomach with the saliva. These con? cretions are as plentiful now as they ever were A Domestic Blend. A. resourceful young matron had c small dinner party. Covers were laid for six, and the dinner was charming. The red wine was not tso cold, the white wine not too warm and the bindi coffee a masterpiece. At tho berrin-: ning of the end of the dinner .a cordial was served. It happened tb be Cre me Yvette, and when the husband tasted It he put down his glass with - i >c? of anguish and was about to ;:pr;:;.:. His wife's eye silenced him. XoTiody took more than the first sip ol' th? "liq? ueur. After the last guest had d :parr? ed the husband braved his wife's eye and spoke. "My dear/' said he. "what, in t?z? name of all unspeakable things was the matter with that liqueur?" His young .wife smiled triumphantly. "Why," said she, "when I came to look at the bottle, just before dinner. 1 found there wasn't enough left to ga round, ?t was too late to get any more, so I just added t:> it a hottie of violej. toilet water. It was the same color, and it had the same smell, and I knew nobody would notice the dif? ference. Wasn't it good?"-Washing? ton Post , Tbet Jewish Torah. Of the objects used* hffrhe .fewish synagogue one of the most interesting ls the Torah scroll. The Delineator de? scribes this as parchment scroll in Hebrew, mounted on wooden-rollers, wrapped In a cloth of green velvet, em? broidered in silk, which is held by a silver worked belt and covered with a mantle of black.,velyet embroidered hi gold; The tipper handles of the rollers are^of carved wood and the lower of ' ivory, with silver bells on the rollers. The Jewish Torah, or the law. is con? sidered by the people of this race the most important and sacred portion of the Scriptures. In order that it may be kept alive in the minds of the peo? ple it is divided into as many ^en? copes" as there are Sabbaths in the year, so that within a twelvemonth the entire book will have been, read through. A manuscript copy is used, having been prepared by a professional scribe on parchment made of the skin of a clean animal-that is. one the flesh of which may be eaten. A Lunatic's Advice. Mr. Lionel Brough once played a game of. billiards in an asylum. with one of the patients. He conceded his adversary twenty-five points, with the, result that he was .hopelessly beaten..
