The first notice of india rubber dates back 500 years, when Iicrrera. a Span ish historian, during the second voyage of Columbus, saw that "the natives of Haiti played with balls made of the gum of a tree. which were lighter an. bounced better than the wind halls ot Castlle." In a record published in Madrid, 1615, we are told: 'There is a tree which the Indians call ulequahuiti. very high, with round, ashy gray leaves. It yields a milky substance, thick and gummy, in great abundance. which is collected and allowed to settle in ealabashes and afterward softened in hot water or smeared over the body and rubbed off when suffciently dry." Even at that early date Spaniards used the juice of the ule tree to water proof their cloaks. The first accurate account of these gum elastic or caoutchoue trees was furnished by L.a Condam ine, who was sent in 17.'2 1hy the French government to measure .-n are of the meridian near Quito. It was introduced into Europe as a drug about 1730. and some fifty years later was used commercially as rubber for pencil marks and to waterproof clothing. THE WATER LOTUS. A Plant That Has the Power of Pn rifying Standing Water. There is a plant growing in the southern waters of the United States which possesses the singular proper ty of being able to render the most im pure standing water perfectly healthy. The people of Louisiana and Missis sippi call it the water lotus. It consists of leaves about the size of the head of a pin and roots so fine as to escape notice save under a micro scopic inspection. Where it grows at all, it covers the water and to the cas ual observer looks like a coating of green scum. The flowers and seeds are microscopic. so that its appearance in any given locality is not readily ac counted for, but wherever it does ap pear the water beneath is always fit to drink. So marked is this property that fam ilies using the water from bayous where the lotus is abundant are known to have better general health than those taking their drinking water from places where the lotus is not found. It is often transplanted into ponds, bay ous and lakes, spreads with wonder ful rapidity and never fails to do its work well.- St. Louis Globe-Democrat. HOMES OF HEALING. The History of Hospitals Begins With the First Century. The temple at Epidaurus was found ed by Antoninus Pius at the end of the first century A. D. in honor of Escu lapius, Hlomer's blameless physician. Beyond the sacred inclosure was a building for the reception of the sick and dying, which Strabo describes as a place renowned for the cure of all diseases, always full of invalids and containing votive tablets descriptive of ures. About 380 A. D. a hospital was found ed by Valens and richly endowed by him at Crcsarea, and another at Rome by Fabiola, a wealthy Roman widow, for the reception of the sick poor. Basil is said by Gregory, the pres byter, to have built a large hospital for lepers with money collected for the purpose. The Hotel Dieu in Pai-s, founded in the seventh century, and two founded in 1080 by Lanfrane, archbishop of Canterbury. were both connected with monastic establish ments. Bartholomew's, 1547, and St Thomas', 1553, are the oldest hospitals in London and were both originally re ligious foundations. Omiens In Tea. When the tea is made and the lid of the teapot is forgotten for a minute or two it is a sure sign that sonme one will drop in for the meal. Two spoons put by chance into the saucer of a maid or a bachelor denote that he or she will be married within a year. Putting cream into your tea befo're you sweet en it will bring you love troubles. A tea stalk floating in a girl's teacup is a "beau." She should stir her tea brisk ly and then hold the spoon upright in the center.. If the "beau" be attracted toward the spoon and cling to it a gen tleman .visitor may be expected some time that evening- If, however, the "beau" goes to the side of the cup thd visitor will not come that day. Messages of War. Among the natives of Australia notched and carv-ed sticks are used for messages. For instance, a piece of wood carried from one village to an other with straight and curved lines cut upon it is a message of war and means: "There is a fight on hand. Fetch your spears and boomerangs." The North American Indians utilized wampum belts from time immemorial for like purposes. The arrangement of the different colored beads conveyed the signification desired. Playing Safe. "Look here, sir! You have been call ing on my daughter every night for the past six months!''

Herrmann Klein in a book on music and musicians tells this story: "Once I remember our party of four was join ed by Tamagno when the celebrated Italian tenor w.'as playin;g 'Otello' at the Lyceum. We all had supper to gether after the performance and were in the jolliest of moods. Tamiagno had a slight cold on the chest. but protested that it made no difference whatever in the singing quality of his head tones. Upon this Lassalle offered to wager that he could sing higher with his falsetto than Tamagno with his 'voce di petto.' The challenge was accepted, and forthwith the two began a vocal duct the like of which I am certain I shall never hear again. Out canie Ta magno's A's and B Bats, as quickly re sponded to with the falsetto equiva lents from Lassalle's sturdy throat. Then the Italian went 'one better.' and the Frenchman, in order. as he said, to help himself up the scale, mounted his chair and emitted the B natural, whereupon Tamagno also stood upon his chair and brought out not only a high C, but a ringing D flat. Lassalle was now for mounting the table, but. this being 'ruled out' as an unfair ad vantage over a l'ss athletic opponent. he proceeded to get the necessary notes from the eminence of his chair amid terrific applause froni the rest of the company. Tamagno now made a bold dash for a D natural. but did not quite succeed, and as Lassalle fared no bet ter we pronou.eCd the result a 'dead heat.'" LONGSTREET'S ORDERS. The 'Vay 111% SoIiers .La:an-:;'d to Genera! Longstrteet used to tell a good many stories to show that the men of his command always treated captured Union soldiers with as much considera tion and kindness as was possible un der the circumstances. He said that his orders on this point were very strict, and he never knew any of his men to disobey. As he went on to ex plain how proud he was of the record of his men on this point a listener em ployed in one of the departments at Washington interrupted him. "Undoubtedly your orders were strict, general." he said, "but I happen to know that they were evaded. For ex ample. in east Tennessee you ordered your men to respect the belongings of prisoners, and this is the way some of them did it: I wore a good pair of army shoes, nearly new. One day a good natured fellow in gray with no shoes to speak of walked along our line look ing intently at the shoes of the cap tured Unionists. He put his foot by the side of mine and, remarking that I was just his size, added: 'Old Pete [Longstreet] says he will have every man shot who steals anything from a prisoner. To save my life, wont you trade shoes with me? For I must have them shoes.' Of course I traded, as did other prisoners." At this Longstreet smiled, but insist' ed that the story didn't prove any thing. ________ Difficult Horseback Feat. There arc no better horsemen in the world than the cavalry officers of the Italian army, yet even among then there are very few who could perform the feat recently achieved by one of them. To run an ordinary root race is easy enough, but to run at full speed for several hundred yards holding in one hand a spoon on which rests an egg and to reach the goal without dropping the egg is a feat which must be prac ticed carefully a long time before it can be performed successfully, and as a result there are not many who can be sure of accomplishing it whenever they try. Great, therefore, was the surprise when an Italian officer mount ed on horseback performed this diffi cult feat. Moreover, he selected a course in which there were two or three high fences, and these he cleared at full gallop without losing the egg. Parliamentary Ruling. "He said he could not help kissing you," whiispered the first congressman's daughter. "lie said when he sat be side you in the conservatory and look ed into your eyes he was moved by an irresistible impulse and simply had to kiss you." "Did lhe?" smiled the second congress man's daughter, who was listening with some interest to the apology thus being made for the boldness of the handsome cousin of the other girl. "Yes. lie said it was your eyes that won him. lHe" "Well, he'll have to come around and correct the minutes of that meeting. The eyes won it. but the nose got it." -Judge. India's sacred Fires. The sacred fires of India have not all been extinguished. The most ancient which still exists was consecrated twelve centuries ago in commemoration of the voyage made by the Parsees when they emigrated from Persia to India. The fire is fed five times every two hours with sandalwood and other fragrant materials, combined with very dry fuel. A Bhid Boy. Bertie-L don't want to go to bed yet, sis. I want to see you and Mir.

Bishop Dudley of K~entucky could administer a rebuke delicately, but on occasions he took care to see that the point was plain. One of the wealthiest members of his church as well as one of the closest told him he was going abroad. "I have never been on the ocean," he said to the bishop, "and I would like Ito know something that will keep me from getting seasick." "You might swallow a nickel," re sponded the bishop. "Youll never give that up." His Unenviable Plight. "So Smuthers finds himself between the devil and the deep sea, does he?" "Well, it amounts to the same thing.

Samuel Rogers suffered froin a violent cold from the effects of what lie believed to be an open win dow at his bick, which in reality was closed. An instance of this known to the medical faculty is more strange 'I still. Two men stayed at a house in which an inmate had died of cholera. One man placed in the room in which G the patient haid died was in ignorance h of what had occurred. He slept well n and was no worse. The other, wrong- d ly told that the room in which he slept o: was that in which the cholera patient t1 had died, spent a night of mental ai agony and in the morning was actual- I ly found to be suffering from this com- b plaint. Ile died of cholera. A A similar instance was mentioned w the other day by a friend of the writ- v er. Two London men stayed in the si country at a house where scarlet fever " was reported. One, an unimaginative, - I healthy minded fellow, awoke all right o1 in the morning. The other, a nervous, e: sensitive man, was very ill-had not ei slept and had broken out into a terri- S. ble rash which both declared to be tc scarlet fever. A wire to a London n medical man was dispatched, and by t3 the first train he hurried down. The f supposed fever patient proved to have S no fever at all beyond an imaginary A one. As a fact, there was no scarlet b fever in the house, the case had been ti wrongIy diagnosed. and the frightened tc visitor h ad tortured himself into a vio- ai lent rash, all without cause.-St. James p Gazette. LI S BASKET BALL. o E Am American Game With No Uncer- b tainiy s to Its Origin. g Eja.-.ket ;All as a recreative game is 1 unique in its origin for two reasons: V First, it is our one positively sure, home American production; secondly, the name, date and place of its au thorship are exactly known. Basket j1 ball was born in the year 1891 at Springfield, Mass., and its author was James Naismith. The story is short ei enough to be interesting. In that town h, is a training school connected with bi the Young Men's Christian assocla- m tion and of course professors, among h, thm a professor of psychology, who ej is paid to teach the young ideas how nj I to think effectively. In one of his lec- V tures he called attention to certain con- r, ditions upon which the brain could a with advantage be exercised and chal- tc lenged his class to supply the require- w ments to meet them. The coiditions ef were the invention of a new game cl which could be played indoors in a tj limited area by a defined and unaltera- it; ble number of contestants and adapta- ul ble to both sexes. Upon this hypoth- w esis one of his pupils, James Nal- ni smith, the same night evolved basket ball. It was put into practice the next hi day experimentally and found to meet ta the conditions and limitations laid a: down by the professor admirably. But w it had more than an academic value, Ifi as its spread as one of our most ap- ht preciated pastimes attests.-Illustrat- al ed Sporting News. -tc A Strange Exsplosion. A celebrated doctor in Reims, while visiting a patient and listening to his troubles, put his hand in his pocket and mechanically rubbed together some p pastils which were there. Suddenly a r slight explosion took place, and at the t same time the doctor experienced .a sharp paiin in his hand. Upon exami nation he found that the bottom of his pocket was burned out and that his a under linen was much scorched, while one of his fingers was also injured. si Hle remembered that he had carried in his pocket for some days two pastils ~ containing chlorate of potash and one hi pastil containing chlorate of sugar. ha The last named wvas broken into little S pieces. while of the potash pastils one e was intact. but no trace could be found ot of the other. It seems that the doctor , had rubbed the chlorate of potash pas- b: til against the chlorate of sugar pastil y, and that at the point of contact a small p quantity of explosive powder had been c: formed. This had ignited, with the re-m sut that the chlorate of potash pastil tc had been instantly (decomposed.' ir sl For Those Who Read. in one of MIr. Miable's literary talks he submitted the six following admo nitions for those who read: f Do not read at random.

"E The people of all serpent ridden er countries have many charms, spells and incanittionis which they repeat or perform for the purpose of exorcising such obnoxious visitors. In Turkey ev- Pl erybody from the sultan to the gamin pi appeals to the serpent king, Chah-Mi- Y ran. When they come in contact with YC a serpent, the first exclamation is "In cc the name of Chah-Miran, go away and hide thyself." Of course Chah-Miran has been dead for centuries, but the Turk argues that the serpents do not til know this. If they knew that they he were no longer under his infiuence, hm they would destroy the whole human Ci race. Peculinr Land Tenure Custom. At Chingford, in Essex, England, an bc estate is held by a very strange con- os dition. Whenever it passes Into new b1 hands the owner, with his wife, man- qi servant and maidservant, comes on horeback to the parsonage and pays his homage by blowing three blasts bi upon a horn. Hie carries a hawk upon his fist and his servant has a grey hound in the slip, both for the use of the rector for that day. Hie receives a chicken for the hawk, a peck of oats for his horse and a loaf of bread for his gr-eyhound. After dinner the own er blows three more blasts, and then, with his party, withdraws from the rectory. Painter and Tavern Keeper. f Marotto Albertinelli, who lived In the fourteenth century, was a painter who spent much time ia endeavoring to produce certain mixtures in oil.

The real name of the hero of "The ilded Age" was Eschol Sellers, and e was an inventor and an active pro toter very well known in the early iys of the new west. His father was ie of the first locomotive builders in te United States, with works at Phil ielphia. Eschol Sellers and Charles udley Warner occupied adjoining )uses some years before "The Gilded ge" was written. Sellers at that time as developing a coal field near Shaw etown, Ill., at what was then and Is ill known as Sellers' Landing. He ,as also inventing a process after -ard largely used in making paper it of Indian weed pulp. He was also ;perimenting with the camel back igine. Notwithstanding the fact that eilcrs' enterprises were destined all i be successiul, Charles Dudley War )r conceived the idea that he was a -pical visionary dreamer. He there re suggested the name of Eschol ?llers for the hero of "The Gilded ge," and Mark Twain used the name, Aieving it to be fictitious. One of e first copies of the book happened be seen by Eschol Sellers, who went once to Hartford and enjoined the blication. A compromise was ef eted by which the publishers paid allers $5,000 for damages and cut all the plates, removing the name schol and substituting that of Mul rry. Eschol Sellers died at a very Ivanced age at his pleasant home on Issionary ridge, near Chattanooga. rashington Star. DOING ONE'S BEST. Is a Good Character Forming Bab it to Cultivate. This habit of always doing one's best iters into the very marrow of one's art and character. It affects ou's mring, one's self possession. - The an who does everything to a finish is a feeling of serenity. He is not tsily thrown off his balance. He has )thing to fear, and he can look the orld in the face because he feels con ious that he has not put shoddy into iything, that he has had nothing do with shams and that he has al ays done his level best. The sense of ficiency, of being master of one's aft, of being equal to any emergency, .e consciousness of possessing the abil F to do with superiority whatever one idertakes, will give soul satisfaction hich a half hearted. slipshod worker ver knows. When a man feels throbbing within m the power to do what he under kes as well as it can possibly be done, id all his faculties say "Amen" to hat he is doing and give their unqual ed approval to his efforts-this is tppness, this is success. This buoy it sense of power spurs the faculties their fullest development It un ds the mental, the moral and the iyscal forces, and this very growth, e consciousness of an expanding men lity and of a broadening horizon, yes an added satisfaction beyond the >wer of words to describe.

The most curious spire in England is Chesterfield, the leaning tower of Esa not being more interesting to ghtseers 'than the queer kink in a re ectable church, which tradition says as caused by the devil kicking out as passed the spire. The devil had just id his hoofs shod by a local black alth, and his pain was so intense the ifice was shaken out of shape.
