"Among the North Ame:rIan Indians the origin of the use of masks hly." says a wriTer, "In die desire to conceal the emotions.

When masked the orator's duty is merely to listen to the inspiration which comes without ef fort through the medium of the spirit. And since this inspiration might seize any of the tribe at such times all come masked." If Men Were Insects. Out of every five animals in the ani mal kingdom four are insects, of which there are 200.000 species. In a human world of that sort for every giganitic man there would be four pygmies and of the pygmies 200.000 distinct races. These pygmies would be made up of a head, a middle body and a hind body. each of which would be composed of hard, shell-like rings, and because their bodies were thus divided or insected they might be called insects. Their legs would grow out of either the mid dle body or the hind body. They would breathe through holes in the middle body and eat, drink. see, smell, with all kinds of apparatus made for the purpose in various and often widely separated parts of the body. If some of these pygmies were young. weighed a pound and ate like n silkw rm, they would in two months devour forty-five tons of food. It is scarcely remarkable. therefore, what millions of grasshop pers will do to a cornfield or gypsy moths to an apple orchard. Polished and Vigorous. Observing a passenger with the un lighted butt of a cigar in his fingers, the street car conductor requested him to put it out. "It is out, you chump," responded the passenger. "Pardon me," resumed the conductor, "if I have failed to make myself clear. The condition to which I had reference was not one of mere temporary non combustion, but of elimination, the eradication, I might say, of the physic al presence of your nicotine laden rem nant, this process followed necessarily by cessation of the odor now permeat ing an atmosphere already somewhat deficient, I fear. in the essential ele ment of ozone. I'm a humble conduct or, and my aim is to please; but, you big porcine stiff, you throw that cigar through the door or I'll throw you and it both. See?" "Excuse me, professor," replied the passenger meekly, and the incident was closed.-Philadelphia Ledger. The Newborn and the Dead. Lavater in his "Physiognomy" makes the following curious remarks: "I have had occasion to observe some infants immediately on their births and have found an astonishing resemblance be tween their profile and those of their father. A few days after this resem blance almost entirely disappeared. The influence of the air and food and probably the change of posture had so altered the design of the face that yo~u could have believed it a different Indi vidual. I afterward saw two of these children die, one at six weeks and the other at four years of age, and about twelve hours after their death they im mediately recovered the profile which had struck me so much at their birth, only the profile of the dead child was, as might be expected, more strongly marked and more terse than that of the living." Spider Chased a Man. A story is told by an explorer of a large and fierce South American spider which chases men if they come too near its lurking places. On one occa sion he was pursued by one. "Riding at an easy trot over the dry grass," he writes, "I observed a spider pursuing me, leaping swiftly along and keeping up with my beast I aimed a blow with my whip, and the point of the lash struck the ground close to it, when it instantly leaped upon and ran up the lash and was actually within three or four inches of my hand when I flung the whip from me."-London Standard. Arranging Chrysanthemum-. In the arrangement of chrysanthe mums the .Tapanese guard against sev en faults. Their stems must not be of the same length, a single flower must not turn its back or present its full face, the flowers must not be hidden by leaves, or, should they be arranged in the way of steps, a full blown flower should never be placed at the base of the composition, and one odd one must not be allowed to fall between two others alike in color. Three flowers should not appear to form a triangle. .Unfeeling. "My husband is a brute," said the excitable woman. "Have you been scolding him?"' "Of course I have." "Ah, I suppose he talked back and used harsh language." "Worse than that! He yawned!" Fiction. Little Bess - What's fiction, Jack?

Daugher-I told the cook exactly how to make it, and she went and made it some other way. ..I M ake ine., and nBlao Right whien mWs Snoto There was a Jere 1UClees1 who was a Luited Staeos senator and in his day enjoyed the usuiil senatorial fame-a fame whicli pershes whether it spring frem four yers' srvice or forty. Aft er Jere Clemens' fame as a senator passed awav hie was still remembered f1r many years on account of another se'rviee which he performed. He shot old John Brown's Governor Wise in the hind leg in a duel. However, I am not vory clear about this. It may be that (Governor Wise shot him In the hind leg. However, I dun't think it is iuportaut. I think that the only thing that is really importaut is that one of them got 2hot in the hind leg. It would have been better and nobler and more historical and satisfactory if both of them had got shot in the hind leg. But it is of no use for me to try to recai lect history. I never had a historit - mind. Let it go. Whichever way - happened, I am glad of it. and that as much enthusiasm as I can get u:p for a person bearing my name. But I am forgetting the first Clemens, the one that stands farthest back toward the really original first Clemens, which was Adam.-From Mark Twain's Auto biography in North American Review. The Great Composers. At what age did the great composers write their masterpieces? This ques tion is answered in the London Musical Times. The following table gives the composer's name. his recognized mas terpiece, the age ,t which it was com posed and the composer's age at death: Bach.......... ..s In H moill..... 4S...5 Handel........ MIessiah ............ G..74 Haydn........ Creation ............ 05...77 Mozart........ Don Giovanni ...... 31.. .35 Beethoven.... C-moll Symphony..35-3S.. .5G Weber........ Frieschutz .........30-33...39 Schubcit...... C-dur Symphony... 31...31 Mendelssohn. Elias .............. 37.. .3 Schumann.... Piano concert ......31-35...46 Wagner....... .elstersinger ......49-54. .09 Brahms....... D Requiem .........32-35...63 This goes to show that composers be tween thirty anl forty created the greatest masterpieces. Yet the compos ers above forty should not despair, see ing that Bach composed his mass in II moll at the age of forty-eight, Wag ner his "Meistersinger" when fifty, Handel his "Messiah" when fifty-six and Haydn his "Creation" when sixty five years of age. A Turkish Joke. A certain sultan of Turkey was very fond of gossip and sent for the bank er. Abraham Beg, to learn the small talk of Pera and Stamboul. As Abra ham was being conducted to the sul tan's residence by the master of the horse that functionary begged him, should the sultan question him on the subject, to say that the funds were at 30, his majesty having been so In formed by his ministers. Poor Abraham consented. He had not been long with Abdul Aziz when he was questioned as to the funds and replied as he had promised. To the horror of the banker, the sul tan expressed himself delighted and handed Abraham a large bundle of bonds to sell for him. Abraham sold at 12 and paid Abdul Aziz 30. The sultan had originated that little "joke." Courts of Love. "Courts of love" were established in the middle ages, when chivalry was at Its height and love the serious occupa tion of life among the higher class of society. The first "court- of love" was established in the south of France in the twelfth century and was composed of knights, poets and ladies, and their decisions on subtle questions connected with affairs of the heart were given with great formality. Spoiled Pleasure. Mrs. M1eyer-What's the trouble, Mrs. Schulz? You are in bad humor this morning. 31rs. Schulz-You see, my husband stayed at the club every night last week until after midnight. Last night I sat up, determined to give him a curtain lecture when he got In late, and what do you think? The fool came home at 9 o'clock!-Fliegende Batter. In the Eighteenth Century. Women needed to be admonished re garding certain details of good man ners in the eighteenth century quite as much as today. At the Handel festival at Westminster abbey In 1790 a notice was posted reading, "No ladies will be admitted with hats, and they are par ticularly requested to come without feathers and very small hoops, if any."~ Hence the Tears. "It is strange how some people cry at weddings." "Yes, but you've probably noticed that it's never the single people who cry." "Well?" "Well, it is only the married ones who realize the tragedy of It." -Houston ost. A Cynic. In the "Cynic's Word Book" Am brose Bierce, himself a cynic, gives the following definition of a cynic: "A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be; hence the custom amanig the Scythians of plucking out a Cynic's eyes to improve his vision." Safe to Love Them Then, "I like dear little babies before they have learned to talk, don't you, Mr. Smythe?"' "Indeed I do! Before they have learned to talk there is no danger of their parents telling you the remark able things they have said." - Stray Stories.

Most pains are of local origion-a "crick" in the back, twinge of rheu matism, soreness all over arising from cold-ai'e all cured by outside applica tions.

They never fail, they act promptly, they are clean and cheap You can go right ahead with your work while the healing process goes on Sixty years' use has given them a great ret utation. During one of Edwin Forirest's en gageets in Iloston a poor' artist call ed several times to see the great actor Iat the old Winthrop House. Each time he brought a picture which he had painted, ie finally left it with a note stating that he was in needy circuml stances. Forrest read the note and took the wrapping from the picture. It proved to be a painting of himself as Spartacus. Forrest gazed upon it a moment and then ejaculated to the clerk: "Give him $10. If he Is as poor as his picture. he must be on the point proper .reathing. According to a lecturer on health, people that breathe through the mouth, habitually neglecting the nose, the proper channel for the air supply, 'have short upper lips, flat cheeks, ir regular and decayed teeth, pigeon chests, pointed chins and pointed or upturned noses"-a dreadful list of dire penalties, in truth, fearful enough to convert us all in a moment, yet greatly exaggerated, of course. How ever, as we have heard many times, usually never heeding as we pass by, it is decidedly injurious to breathe through the mouth. Moreover, if we stop to consider a bit, we shall be able to see for ourselves several common sense reasons that ought to make us supply our lungs with air through the nose. Taken in by way of the mouth, the air reaches the lungs by a much shorter route and without the beneficial warming and cleansing process so well afforded by the longer nasal passage. In winter especially should we take care to breathe only through the nose, thus lessening greatly our chances of taking deep seated colds. It is merely a matter of habit and simply a ques tion of trying after all. Love Potions. Love potions as used by the peasants of lower Austria and Syria are gen erally taken by the person who wishes to be loved. The common habit is to consume minute portions of white ar senic, which will in a few weeks de velop a thin, pale girl into a plump, rosy cheeked beauty. Great care has to be exercised in taking the arsenic or death results, and when the habit is once formed it usually lasts for life, since the body becomes uncomfortable and even diseased, showing all the symptoms of arsenic poisoning, if the habit is broken off. Some of the eastern nations use love potions differently. If a girl loves a man and he seems cold, she contrives to give him a drink of hasheesh, ob tained from Indian hemp. The man's brain becomes fogged, and he is ready to believe anything that is suggested to him. The girl suggests to him that she is beautiful and thus compels him to regard her unlovely features as she desires. The Human EIeetric Battery. The superstition that human beings should sleep with their heads to the north is believed by the French to have for its foundation a scientific fact. They affirm that each human system is in itself an electric battery, the head being one of the electrodes, the feet the other. Their proof was discovered from experiments which the Academy of Sciences was allowed to make on the body of a man who was guillotined. This was taken the instant it fell and placed upon a pivot free to move as it might. The head part, after a little vacillation, turned to the north, and the body then remained stationary. It was turned half way rotind by one of the professors, and again the head end of the trunk moved slowly to the car dinal point due north, the same results being repeated until the final arresta tion of organic movement The Tobacconist's Effgr. One of the most peculiar things In the whole history of signs is the fact that while all other shopkeepers were patronizing the embryo painters the tobacconist always called upon the woodcarver on the continent as well as in England. As long ago as Eliza beths reign the wooden image of the black boy was the favorite sign of the tobacco dealers. Later the cus toary sign was the highlander or a figure of Sir Walter Raleigh. In Hol land, for some sti'ange reason, the to bacconists adopted the dairymaid as their sign, with tihe motto, "Consola tion for sucklings." The Indian, nat urally .enough, has always been the predominant sign in this country, al though once in awhile a reversion to type crops out with the ancient black boy. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The Great JTenner. An Englishman had occasion to go often to an eminent physician and said to Jeamnes, "You will be tired of open ing the door"for me." "Not at all, sir," was the gracious reply; "you are but a hunit in the hocean." Another ,Teames was accustomed to say during his master's occasional ab sences: "You had better try hopposite. There's a very respectable man hop posite as we often sends to when Sir William is habsent. His name is .Ten ner."-London Mail. How Long the BHis Last. - A dollar bill has an average life of about flftien months. Two dollar bills, not being quite so actively used, last on the average more than sixteen months.

The party caLPed, when he was roused at dawn by his negro serv ant, who said troops were . coming. Mrs. Davis begged her husband to leave. His horses and weapons were near the road down which the cavalry was coming. In the darkness of the tent he caught up what he took to be his raglan, a sleeveless waterproof garment. It was hers. She then threw a shawl over his head. He went out of the tent, she keeping near. "Halt?" cried a trooper, leveling a carbine at him. Mr. Davis iropped his wraps and hurried forward. Mrs. Davis saw the carbine, cast her arms about her husband and lost him his one chance of escape, for he might have slipped away in the dark. Choice of Cow's 3ilk. A writer states that where commer cial value Is the only point at issue a milk must have a high percentage of solids in or-der to be "good." This is not true, however, where weak diges tion is to be dealt with. Skim milk con tains nearly all the protein of the whole: milk, but after the fat in the cream has been removed the milk loses half its fuel value. What is left, however, has a value equal to that of the whole milk for the building and repair of tissue, for the making of blood and muscle and bone, while it has half the value of the whole milk for supplying heat and muscular power. Buttermilk is practically sour skim milk. Other things being' equal, the milk of a cow which gives' a large quantity Is prefer able to that of a cow giving a small quantity. The former Is sure to have a rugged constitution, good digestive power, depth of respiration and good physiological traits. A phlegmatic tem perament in the animal Is desirable. Medical Record. - A Wesley Anecdote. It is said that Charles Wesley was sometimes easily annoyed, and on one occasion at a conference he became so irritated at the prolix remarks of a speaker that he said to his brother: "Stop that man's speaking. Let us attend to business." But the offender was relating his re ligious experience, and, though it was at so great a. length, John Wesley evi dently thought that no one had a right to interfere with it He was therefore allowed to continue, but the moment. came when Charles could contain him-. self no longer. . "Unless be stops," he whispered to John, "I'll leave the conference." By this time John was enjoying the, man's simple story, and he only turned and whispered to some one sitting near: "Reach Charles his hat" Keep the Armholes Down. It is strange that not one person in a thousand knows how to help a man on with his coat or a lady with her jacket They all -make the mistake of holding the garment too high, especial ly the last sleeve. They lift It so that a man nearly dislocates his arm reach' ug for it. The more futilely he grabs and claws and lurches for it the higher they hold It until the wretched victim would have to get on a pair of stilts to find the armhole. Trhe proper way? Why, hold the coat so that the arm holes are as low down as the man's waist, taking care to keep the skirt of the garment off'the floor, of course. If there Is any struggle to find the last armhole, drop It still lower. Never raise It. Drop it until his hand slips Into It naturally. Substitutes For -Tea. English cottagers have to use the leaves of shrubs and herbs for tea, such as the black currant. Our Penn sylvania mountaineers use the Solidago odorata for tea, instead of the costly China tea. Solldago odorato is a varie ty of the familiar goldenrod. In Loui sana it is laregly used by tho French population of the remote districts. Checkerberry or teaberry (Gaultherie repens) is a little spicy plant also used for tea. Prince Hohenlohe In Life.
