, ?OWing Eire at toldiers. Greek fiQ, which had several other ames-wild fire, liquid fire, wet fire ,ad fire rain-was the most destructive oar material used before the introduc tier of gunpowder. Discovered by Callinicus, a Syrian, it was first used in thea siege of Constantinople. 673-678, and at Mecca. 690. According to an eyewitnes, it made a noise like thurn der, looked like a dragon flyg through the air and made night light as day. This, allowing for a vivid imagination, gives its strikng characteristics when poured from caldrons, shot from cop per tubes In balls of twisted fax or expelled from catapults in vials dar ing sieges and naval engagements. Water made it burn more fiercely, and wherever It fell it spread a torrent of fire. So well was the secret of its pro duction kept that its precise ingredi ents and adnmiture were still un known, but it is certain that naphtha, sulphur, gums of resinous trees, char. coal, saltpeter, pitch and other bita mens were used. Hot and Cold Crystals. Whether we watch with the micro scope a tiny crystal growing from a drop of solution or contemplate with the imagination the stages by which the dery lavas of past geological peri ods sank to rest and crystallized, said Professor H. A. Miers in an ad dress before the geological section of the British association at Cape Town, we view the same process. It is the transformation of liquid into crystal not necessarily into a solid, for re search shows there is no dividing line between liquid and solid. A plastie solid body may flow; a solid glass is only a super-cooled liquid. The real primary distinction is between crystal line and noncrystalline material. There are two great liquid reservoirs from which materials have crystallized-the sea with its dissolved salts and the sub terranean baths of molten glass from which the igneous rocks have been de rived.-New York Globe. German Care of Landscapes. Mlost German states have laws to prevent the disfigurement of land scapes by advertisements. The district authorities are authorized to determine what landscapes, buildings or monu ments of historical or artistic value should be protected. Violations of the statute are made punishable by fine, -,with or without imprisonment The statute provides against the display of pictures, advertisements or other things calculated to mar or disfigure any es pecially attractive landscape or detract from the artistic or aesthetic effect of kany building or other structure of spe cial imp'ortance or as highly prejudicial to any street -r part of a city. The alteration of buildings of historical or artistic value may be prohibited by the local authorities, as may the construc tion of other buildings calculated to in terfere with such historical monuments. Found a Way. A widow of an old Lyceum theater servant applied to Irving for some sort of occupation about the theater where by she might earn a living. Irving ap pealed to Loveday, his manager. "There -is absolutely no vacancy of any kind," said Loveday. "Can't you give her a job to look aft er the theater cats? I think we've too mnany mice about, not to mention rats." "No," said Loveday, "there are two w'omen already on that job." "Hum, ha, let me see," said Irving * eflectively, then suddenly brightening with an idea. "Very well, then, give her the job of looking after the two wo men who are looking after the cats." The widow was at once engaged on the permanent stafi' of the theater. Best Treatment for Puny Children. Children ofted become thin and pale, and sometimes there is no apparent cause for this low state of the system. These little unfortunates are known as puny -children. Rydale's Tonic is the - est medicine ever produced for puny children. It matters- not whether this run-down state of the system is caused by ill health, overstudy or growing too fast Rydale's Tonic increases their flesh and strengthens and brings the ruddy glow in the pale face.

It Lest For the Empress Eugenie the French Empire. * Even Emile de Girardin, whom Eu genie welcomed as "the gravedigger of dynasties" because he had gone to Louis Philippe on the eve of his flight in 3848 to yanrn him as he came to warn her now, said to her very serious ly that night: "Should your majesty appear brave ly on horseback in the midst of the people your majesty can still count on their enthusiasm and devotion." Eugenie resolved to show herself on horseback. She ordered that the rid ing habit be chosen. It must be All black, of the severest simplicity. And she would just pin the red ribbon of the Legion of Honor on her left breast. Often the slightest causes bring about the gravest results. The tragedy of the empire's last chance, therefore, must be sought along with the black riding skirt and corsage. By incredible ill luck they could not find It There had been one, but it had disappeared, "doubtless stolen." Oth ers were at Compiegne and Fontaine bleau. They found a riding habit of dark green with heavy gold braid, the costume of the imperial stag hunts. "It will not do," Eugenle sobbed; "It will not dol" And so for lack of a black skirt and corsage the empress of the French was forced to flee her capital and lost an empire.-Sterling Heilig in Metropol itan Magazine. .The Last Word. "Having the last word," said a naval of~cer, "reminds me of a story I heard not-long ago. A certain man died, and a clergyman was engaged to offer a eulogy. This worthy minter prepared a sermon of exceeding length and , strength, but just before he entered the parlor to deliver it he thought thabt It might be advisable to learn what the dead man's .last words had been. So he turned to one of the weeping young er sons and asked: "'My boy, can you tell me your fa ther's last wordsi "'He didn't have none,' the boy re plied. 'Ma was with him to the end.'"

"One moriing when busy in my workshop," says a naturalist, "a large fly. double tbe size of a bluebottle, was caught in a spider's web in the win dow close to where I was at work. It was held by two of its legs only, and for some time the spider, which was about the size of the fly's head, pro ceeded to strengthen its hold by at taching numerous extra lines to the two captive limbs, carefully keeping out of reach of the others, which were letting out in all directions In frantic efforts to escape. "During a short respite in the cap tive's struggles the spider cautiously approached and with its hind legs got several turns of its tiny rope round one of the limbs that were free. These tactics were co-ried on till all the legs were firmly bound. It then injected poison into one of the legs. This soon showed itself, for its deadening effects reduced the victim's struggles in a marked degree. The poison paralyzes, but does not kill. "Shortly after a second bite resist ance ceased, and the victor settled down to suck the juices of its fallen prey. The struggles lasted quite an hour. Next morning the fly was alive, and the spider was still sucking out its lifeblood."-Chicago News. Mrs. S. Joyce, 180 Sullivan St., Clare- . mont. N. H., writes: "About a year ago I bought two bottles of Foley's Kidney Cure. It cured me of a severe case of Kidney trouble of several years' standing. It certainly is a grand, good e medicine,and I heartily recommend it." C The Arant Co.

In a human world of that sort 'for every gigantic e man there would be four pygmies and a of the pygmies 200,000 distinct races. e These pygmies would be made up of a I head, a middle body and a hind body, each of which would be composed of hard, shell-like rings, and because their bedies were thus divided or insected they. might be called insects. Theit legs would grew out of either the mid- C dle body or the hind body. They would breathe through holes in the middle body and eat, drink, see, smell, with E all kinds of apparatus made for the purpose in various and often widely s separated parts of the body. If some o of these pygmies were young, weighed a pound and ate like a silkworm, they v would In two months devour forty-five tons of food. It is scarcely remarkable, 1 therefore, what millions of grasshop- I n pers will do to a -cornfield or. gypsy moths to an apple orchard.

Meet ing one day in a saloon a young man, he was so favorably impressed by his conversation that he expressed his ad miration for him in the most fiattering terms.

C To live long it Is necessary to live tt slowly.-Cicem, ti A Mistake Corrected. 0I g< It is a thistake to combine in the same remedy both stomach and liver mnedi-a cines, because the stomach is not al-a ways out of order when the liver is, ors vica versa. While it is true that these d< ogans are so closely related that when m one is affected the other is likely to be se also, still there are times when one is It affected and the other is not. It is a s serious error to giva a liver medicine combined with a stomach menicine when the stomach only needs treat-i ment, and it is not necessary to treat a the stomach when the liver only is dis ordered. Rydale's method is the most sensible one. He does not combine the two, but makes a tablet for the stomach It and a tablet for the liver, which can be combined if necessary. Guaranteed by Dr. W. E.

Not long ago while traveling I chanc I.to stop at a village on the river hine, where I found an astonishing aber of old people. There were a en over a hundred years of age and any from eighty years old up to the tury mark, yet straight and vigor* . One woman nearly a hundred ars old was earning her living by king hops. Her grandchildren were iddle aged. It was quite wonderful. at there was no mystery about it. It s merely the effect of a simple life ent largely in the fields, with plain et, consisting of a few vegetables i fruits, little meat, and native beer d wine for beverages. Nothing can be more obvious than at the very complexity of our mod acivilization is shortening our lives. at of all the evils that af~ict us the orst and most destructive are hurry i worry. Hurry drives the body ma Lne beyond its capacity, while worry cks it inwardly. Of the two worry probably the worse. This might in ed be called the age of worry. Be use of the intense nervous strain to bich we are subjected we do vastly ore worrying than did our forbears. o average man of today is continual urrounded and piursued by phantom oubles, which, though few of them r materiplize into realities, haunt i continually, ruining his peace of d and injuring his health.-Reader agazine. rino Laxative Fruit Syrub is best women and children.
