Soon after the convening of a new session of congress announcement was made of the approaching marriage of Anson G. McCook, who was then sec retary of the senate. A subscription was Immediately started among the senators for the purchase of a wedding present. Two or three prominent sen ators volunteered to collect the money. Senator X., one of the richest men in the senate at that time, was one of these. Seeing a new senator who had not yet been approached on the subject, Senator X. went to him and said, "Sen ator Blank, I want you to give me $25." "What for?" demanded the new mem ber. "For McCook's wedding present," ex plained Senator X. "I'll see you about it tomorrow," an swered Blank, with a scow]. "All right," said Senator X. as he walked away, "but don't forget it." Senator Blank watched him until he was out of hearing, and then, turning to his colleague, remarked with warmth: "Well, I've heard of cheeky things in my life, but that man beats all! What do you think? He just asked me to give him $25 to buy a wedding pres ent for his cook!"-New York Times. A Much Dreaded Fly. The man eating fly of Central Amer Ica Inhabits the low lying coast re gions and is much dreaded by the na tives for the fearful results which fol low its sting. Naturalists call it Lu cilia hominivora. The average speci men is about a third of an inch long. It has a big head, with the eyes on top. Its cheeks are a golden yellow, its abdomen dark blue with purple bands, its legs black, Its wings unusu ally big, and they produce a continuous and loud buzzing when in motion. The person bitten by this fly gets a disease called mylasis. It generally begins with an itching of the nose; then that organ swells and bleeds, next t becomes ulcerated, and in these ul cers may be found the larve of the fly. The whole face becomes swollen; ery sipelas sets in, followed by meningitis and death. One man I knew, said a traveler in that country, shot himself after he had been bitten rather than face the tortures he knew were cer tain. Cure is difficult. Subcutaneous injections of chloroform sometimes do good, but as often fail. One man I heard of was cured by lemon juice in ected Into his blood. Ten Years Ago and low. There is no better antidote for de spondency than to take a measure of your own community as It was ten years ago and as it is today, unless you live in an unrepresentative and stagnant community. You will be likely to find the roads or the streets better than they were, the railroad service, the postal service, possibly even the telegraph and the telephone service better. You will observe better houses, more attractive grounds. The people are better clad or more are well clad. Inside their houses you will find more books or, better, more bathrooms, better lights and better furniture. A larger proportion of children and youth re receiving good training at better schools. All this means more than prosperous years. It means a higher evel of life and a stronger ambition. The well being of the people of the United States Is rising higher and es ecially is It diffusing Itself wider. Life is constantly becoming more com fortable and more cheerful as well as onger and safer, leading to better con itions for intellectual growth and so cial development-World's Work. Couldn't Be Mistaken. A Derbyshire squire recently Invited some London friends down for a little shooting. One of the sportsmen, after shooting for three hours without suc ess, was considerably annoyed by the keeper in attendance on him repeating after -every miss, "I can't be mistaken, srely." "For goodness sake, be quiet!" he at last shouted. "What do you mean with your everlasting 'I can't be mis aken?'" "Well, sir," was the reply, "if you 'adn't put a few shots through my 'at, peppered both my legs for me and pop ped a full charge into my right foot I'm blowed if I shiouldn't think as 'ow you was a-firin' with blank cartridges!" ondon Answers. Royal Mascot. Most of the sovereign houses of Eu rope possess one or more relics which they regard as mascots. The house of Bonaparte possesses the boots and lit tle hat of Napoleon I, The Hohenzol lerns preserve piously the gray leather breeches worn by the Burggrave Fred eric when he entered his margraviate of Brandenburg. There is also at Sans Souci the cane which Frederick the Great carried at the battle of Rosbach. The Romanoffs cherish the carpenter's tools of Pete: the Great, and the fetich of the Hapsburgs Is the shoe which the horse of Count Rudolph cast at the moment when the envoys from the rechstag announced to him his election as German emperor. Soapeads Are Valuable. Few persons knew how very useful soapsuds prove when employed as ma nure. Applied to the roots of vines, fruit trees, roses, etc., they impart a 'rigor and a rapidity of growth which are perfectly surprising. No one who Is so lucky as to have a garden should waste this valuable form of manure. It is an excellent plan to have a large tub and put the soapsuds and dirty water into it till required upon the garden. _______ Carlyle Would Talk. Professor Blackie said of Carlyle: "I admired his genius. But how he would talk, talk, talk, and give nobody a chance to put In a word! One night I actually shook him. His wife had been trying all the evening to say some thing, but there was not the smallest chance. I took hold of him and shook him, saying, 'Let your wife speak, you monsterl' But It was of no use." Looking Forward. Old Bullion (on his deathbed)-All my property is willed to you, but I'm afraid my children by my first wife will make a contest, and then the lawyers will get It. Young Wife-Don't worry, my love. I can easily fix that. I'll marry one of the lawyers.-New York Weekly. Man'. Conscience Awry. "The average man's conscience," said the Tobacconist to the Wooden Indian, "Is that still small voice within his breast which tells him he wouldn't be as mean as his wife's relatives are even If he knew how."-Syracuse Herald. Heavy Bombardment. Sam-Yo' say dat de bride en groom had to be sent to de hospital soon after e marriage ceremony. How was dat? Remus-Why, some ob deh frien's thought it would be luckier to throw old hoeshoes. silk .Cotton Tree. Although the silk cotton tree Is a na tive of South America. there is one specimen of It In Nassau, Bahama Is lands, that has flourished wonderfully and is one of the greatest curiosities on the island. It was planted more than 200 years ago by John Miller. The roots seem to be unable to find their way down after the manner of ordinary roots and so swell up like great buttresses radiating round the trunk of the tree, rising from the ground to a height of from six to twelve feet. They reach out to Irregu lar distances, gnarled and twisted in the most curious fashion. They turn and bend and double a point In all sorts of unexpected ways and make dark hollows and ravines, where the darkies believe the elves and gnomes make their home. The great seed pods are filled with a fine, soft fleece of silk, which the na tives use for filling their pillows and mattresses. There are several speci mens of the tree on the island of New Providence, but this one is monarch of them all. A Fly That Kills Horses. All white men who visit regions In Africa infested by the tsetse fly have much to say about It. There Is now evidence that the tsetse Is moving gradually to more northern regions, and the cause Is supposed to be that South Africa is depleted of its large game, much of which Is moving north ward to get away from hunters, and the tsetse fly Is going with It. The insect is only a little larger than the ordinary house fly, and It resem bless the honeybee. Its sting is hardly as annoying as that of the mosquito, but near the base of the proboscis Is a little bag which contains Its poison. It lives on the blood of animals, and only a few species are fatally affected by Its bite. Cattle, horses and dogs, how ever, cannot live when bitten by the tsetse fly. Natives who herd cattle and travelers who depend on horses and oxen must avoid the fly regions or lose their stock. For human beings Its bite has no serious consequences. To Promote Narriages. It is a superstition In some parts of England that after a young couple have departed for their honeymoon hot water should be poured on the thresh old in order that other marriages may follow. With this end In view the bride's girl friends will sometimes drench the doorstep with boiling wa ter from kettles heated for the purpose of keeping the threshold warm, says Home Notes. In Iceland another plan is in vogue. There the bride, on reaching her hus band's house, has to give a dinner cooked with her own hands to show how well she has been instructed In the parental home. If she succeed in pleasing the guests, her skill does not only redound to her own honor, but also to that of her whole family, and her sisters, having shared in her edu cational advantages, are considered likely to make good. wives. A Menace to Vessels. The fiction of the mysterious load stone mountain which drew the nails out of ships that approached near enough has a certain foundation In fact, says the Siecle, only the fact has suffered by expansion. On the coast of Norway, near Jedern, there Is a sand dune of nearly three-quarters of a mile in length. The sand is mixed with par ticles of loadstone, and when a ship comes in the vicinity the compass be comes Irregular, and the vessel is en tangled in a kind of whirlpool and thrown ashore. Lai-oisier's Death. Without the contrasted patience of moral and physical pain there are men of high Intellect for whom the latter has no terrors. The chemist Lavoisler was summoned during the reign of terror in France to his death. He calmly requested a few days In order' to see the result of some experiments which he had In progress-in vain. This great philosopher of his day fell an Im mediate martyr to the political necessi ties of the ruthless tyrant Robespierre. Turtle Egg. Turtle eggs are an acquired taste with most people, although they are not so with bears. They have a rough, yellow yolk and a white like any other egg, but you can cook them for a year and the white part will remain liquid. Notice a curious dimple In the side of each one. If you squeeze It out, the dimple appears on the other side, and you can never get hold of a turtle egg which hasn't got a dimple In It. rivusf or reeossve smo~Inlg. While a good cigar, used temperate ly two or three times a day, may be smoked by the average adult man to good advantage, excessive indulgence in smoking Is very harmful. It Is only necessary to recall one's first cigar and the profound effect it produced to real ize that the smoking of tobacco in large quantities Is trifling with a dangerous agent, s- ys the Baltimore Sun. The chief effects of smoking are from the nicotine and empyreumatic oil, the first being an active poison-an infin itesmal quantity will destroy life-and the latter, which is the rank accumu lation In the stem of the pipe, is also a potent poison, one drop on the tongue of a cat having been fatal. The nico tine and the oil both act on the nervous system, though differently, the nicotine paralyzing the heart by Its action on the brain, while the oil confines itself chiefy to the spinal cord and the motor nerves. It will thus be seen that ~no part of the victim's equipment escapes the deadly effect of tobacco in excess. Death Superstitions. Death superstitions are rife in the West Indies. To the people there ev erything out of the ordinary is a "sign." In Cuba a person with a sore or wound of any kind will not look upon a dead person, fearing that the spot will be come incurable. The rum used In wash ing a dead body Is, however, regarded as a sure cure for all eye troubles. If the light from a candle or lamp falls on the face of the dead, death will shortly come to him or her who was carrying the light. Determination. "I am afraid that your boy lacks de termination," said the neighbor. "That's where you wrong him," :n swered Farmer Corntossel. "I never saw anybody as determined not to work as Josh Is."-Washington Star. The same Air. Mrs. Homer-Jane, open that window and let a little fresh air into the house. Jane-It Isn't fresh air at all, mem; It's the same air that's been about here all the morning.-BotonI Transcript. The Wear and Tear of It. "You must find It wearing to be thei wife of a genius." "Yes; so many fools want to know how I am able to get along with him." -...nag Renored-Herald. HUNTING THE GORILLA. An Animal West Africans Say Has the Soul of a Man. Gorilla hunting is a distinct sensation even for the veteran hunter. This ani mal, which has become confused some what with fable and fiction, Is a reali ty and a decidedly unpleasant one to engage. The west Africans are mortal ly afraid of Mt, believing that the brute contains the spirit of a man. They at tribute to it all sorts of ferocities, like the carrying off of a human being, who is pernitted to return after being de prived of toe and linger nails. "Skilled hunters have never observed any of these doings. but they testify to the brute's strength and ferocity," says Allen Sangree In Ainslee's. "According to a French sportsman, a full grown gorilla can bite through a tree six inch es thick In order to secure the sap and twist a gun barrel with the swollen bunches of muscle that serve for arms. His roar is terrifying gind can be heard for a distance of three miles. "'I shall never forget how the first one impressed me,' says the French man, 'for I had a bad attack of shakes. The woods had been filled some time with a barking roar, but I saw nothing until my guide clucked softly and pointed to a tree alongside which stood an immense male gorilla. There he re mained but twelve yards away, boldly facing us with his huge chest, muscu lar arms, fiercely glaring deep gray eyes and a hellish expression, until I moved. "'At that he dropped to all fours and came six yards nearer, sitting up to beat his breasts with his huge fists-a defiance-so that it sounded like an im mense drum. His roar was most singu lar, beginning with a kind of bark and deepening into a bass roll that literally resembled thunder. The short hair on his forehead was twitching, his power ful fangs showed unpleasantly, and, feeling he was about to attack and In cidentally being scared green, I shot him through the heart. With a groan something human and yet brutish, he fell on his face and died quickly, like a man. He measured 5 feet 9 inches in I length, his chest was 62 Inches, and his arms spread 9 feet. I was glad to have the specihen, but somehow after that never cared to kill a gorilla unless he actually menaced me.'" NOTHING WAS LOST. An Omission In a Wedding Ceremony That Didn't Count. A distinguished officer of the United States navy once told this story on him self: At the time of his marriage he had been through the civil war and had had many harrowing experiences aboard ship, through all of which he kept cour age and remained as calm as a brave man should. As the time for the cere mony came on, however, his calmness gradually gave way. At the altar, amid the blaze of -brass buttons and gold lace marking the full naval wedding,; the officer was all but stampeded and what went on there seemed very much mixed to him. Fearing the excitement of the moment would temporarily take him off his feet, the officer had learned the marriage ceremony letter perfect, as he thought, and he remembered re peating the words after the minister in a mechanical sort of way. After the ceremony was over and all was serene again, including the offi cer's state of mind, the kindly clergy man came up to him and touched him on the shoulder. "Look here, old man," he said, "you didn't endow your wife with any worldly goods." "What's that?" asked the bridegroom, with something of astonishment in his voice. "Why, I repeated the sentence 'With all my worldly goods I thee endow sev eral times and despite my efforts you would not say it after me." The bridegroom seemed perturbed for a moment, and then a beaming light came into his face. "Never mind, sir," he said. "She didn't lose a blessed thing by my fail ue."-Washington Star. No "Tick" Obtainable. Telegraph Operator-I am sorry, sir, but the rules of this company make It impossible for me to send your message "collect." That privilege we are not al lowed to extend to absolute strangers. Applicant-Do you mean for me to understand by that that you can't trust me? Telegraph Operator-Under the cir cumstanlces, sir, it Is impossible for me to do so. Applicant-Well, that gets the best of me! I thought of all places on the face of the earth a telegraph office was the likeliest to get anything on tick.-Bos ton Courier. Hiawatha. "Such a confusing variance In the pronunciation of 'Hiawatha' exists both in dictionaries and in the speech of educated men and women," writes Elizabeth A. Withey in The Ladles' Home Journal, "that I have asked Miss Longfellow how the word is pronounc ed by the poet's family. She says the pronunciation which she always heard from the poet himself Is Hi-a-wa-tha, the 'i' pronounced as it is In 'machine' or 'pique,' the second 'a' pronounced as it Is in 'far' or in 'father.' " All In the Family. "Biffley dud his son and the Widow Binglewood and her daughter are going to form a community of interests." "How so?"

Fresh air is a free gift, but it is like most of the gifts of heaven in that we must do our share of work to benefit by it. No one would expect to have a good fire just because a pair of bellows hung on a nail by the chimney, but this Is exactly what many people expect of their lungs, which are really only the bellows given us by which to keep the 1re of life burning bright and clear within us. It is not too much to assert that lungs properly used in a comparatively close -oom will do more good than lazy lungs n an open field. This trick of lazy lungs is a habit, like any other, and nay be overcome by persistent effort. Many persons, for example, are afflict d with a nervous habit of holding the areath unconsciously. These are the ;eople who, in spite of plenty of time ;pent out of doors, yet catch cold easi y, digest poorly and are always more )r less "under the weather" physically. Many other persons-and they consti aute the great majority of mankind reathe ouly with the upper part of the ungs and although they may breathe egularly do not draw in sufficient air t a breath to fill all the lung cells. When once the pernicious habit of oor, shallow breathing has been bro en up, the health undergoes such mark d improvement, there is such brighten ng of the spirits and improvement of be looks, that the luxury of deep reathing is not likely to be readily oregone. A good way to start the new habit Is o take deliberately a few minutes at tated intervals and devote them to >roper breathing. If this is done sys ematically, the reformer will find him elf unconsciously breathing more and nore, until very soon he is obeying na ure and really breathing to live. Besides the gain to the general health hich comes from the habit of deep >reathing there is created a reserve trength and preparedness which is >ften of great service in warding off cute pulmonary diseases.-Youth's Jompanion.
