A HERO OF THE BUSH. The Daring and Devotion of a Brave Maori Youth. Courage cis !;or atrribute ptecm!ar to th'e white man. nor is self sacrilice the p'1roative .f civilizat aion. In Mr. J. C. Firth's tNation 3akingr is told a story as touchii;:i in its brave devo tion as any tale of the Victoria cross. The incident occurred at Orakan, where the English soldiers had just defeated the Macris. A little Itarty of colni:LI t:oz.e pursn ing filgitives. caine upon three iatives. two old men and one young feloxv. The youth. seein.- the soldiers, drop pod on one knee and aimed with his gun at the advancing party. which balted a moment. while the old men ran toward the forest. The old men had thrown away their firearms in order to make escape easier. The soldi;ers fired at the youth. but missed. Without discharging his gun he sprang to his feet and ran on in advance until he caught up with the old men once mere. Theu. facing about, he poresened his g1 as before. but reserved his fire. The weary old men gradually drew :!ear cover. Once more the soldiers fired and missed; once more the gal Iant fellow turned and bounded on. The old men were close to the forest when the youth, nearly fainting, again knelt and took aim. but still did not fire. The soldiers shot him as he knelt and rushed to the forest, but failed to capture the two fugitives, who. saf in the dense underbrush, made their escape. On their return the soldiers found the brave young fellow lying dead. His gut was empty; it had not been loaded at all. With it he had covered the retreat of the old men and secured their freedom by the loss of his own life. No more gallant deed of heroic devotion was ever accomplished in :myland. Dreams of the Healthy. There has been much discussion as to whether one dreams oily on falling to sleep and during the act of waking up. or whether dreams take place at any time during sleep. While not definitely determined as yet, the evidence seems to be rather in favor of the view that one may drean at any time during the night or the whole night through. Dreaming is common to perfectly healthy persons. and in itself is no evidence of disorder.-Harper's Maga zine. Mount McKinley. In mountain climbing the world over the climber usually arrives fresh and unfatigued at the base of the peak he wishes to storm and, as a rule, begins his ascent at a high altitude. On Mount McKinley, as described by a writer in Outing, it is the opposite. There are twenty-five miles of rugged foothills and glaciers to be crossed-with heavy packs-before the base of the mountain is reached, and then the climber is con fronted by 18,000 feet of rock and ice.

An Ideal Land Where Man Had Reach ed Social Perfection. Accorling to Pl:to, who was the first to r.et Ih story ::.Icerhvr heard it froi the Etyjilan priests. At lantis was an island in the Atlantic ocean "oVer :r atinst the pillars of Her cules." It w s larger than Asia and Africa taken tothctler and ;.000 years befoi lis ;i.(n; was densely V op4clZed by a raw rich. :h iu .trios.

In the enurse of time this great peo ple, this powerful nation. forgot its greatuess and its power and turned to wickedness and sin. Then there came an earthquake, which lasted a day and a night and was followed by an inundation of the sea. After that nothing hut slime and shoals remained to mark the spot where Atlantis had flourished. This is the roniantie story as told by A'i:::e. As ve have said, he ,""t it from the Egyptian priests. Where did the priests get it? Was it purely in aginary. or w-as it founded, as some of the stories of mnytlho.gy are. upon a thin foundation of fac on this point both the ancient and the modern writers have dif'erent views. Some sulplose that the exist enee or tihe island was really believed In beause lthe Phoenicians may have visited the Canary is ds or the Azures: that te story of Atlantis grew out of their possible discovery. Others think that it is the expression of a vague belief by the ancients in the existence of tie western hemi sphere. So far as the origin of the story goes. we shall never perhaps know more than we do now. but we have for a1 ::: :e :ea ly of the story itself as showing what the poets of an tiqUity conceived to be the ideal con dition of the human race. According to tles" alcient writers, Atlantis was one of the most produc ive countries in the world. Its nat ural resources were unbounded. Ev erything that could add to the pleasure and comfort of men was there in pro fusion-grain. vine. delicious fruit, etais of various kinds, great forests, fertile plains, pleasure grounds, springs and rivers. The island was divided into ten kingdows. each wholiy independent of the other, but bound by the common ties of noble purposes and mutual good will. Commerce ilourished as it did nowhere else in the world, its harbors receiving the products of every other mown country. There were large and populous cities rich in architectural ef fect and embellished with the most beautiful works of art. Its villages I were also rich and thriving. and its fields were under the most skillful and profitable cultivation. This was Atlantis as the old poets pictured it. the ideal land where men had reaehed the ultimate development of social and general government. Chicago News.

"Do spiders sleep at night?" Is not easy to answer. I have made a careful observation of the sleep of auts, and that could readily be done by watching colonies in their artificial formnicaries. It is almost impossible to deal with spiders in the same way. I would answer, however, in general teris that spiders sleep, as all animals do, and doubtless parts of the night are spent In slumber. Many species, however, prey on the night flying in sects, and so must be awake in order to catch their prey. If you will watch the porch or outbuildings of your home on a summer evening you wili be likely to see an orb weaving spider drop slowly down on a single thread in the gathering dusk of the evening. From this beginning a round web will soon be spun, and either hanging at the center thereof or in a little nest above and -%t one side is the architect, with forefeet clasping what we call the "trap line" and waiting for some night fying insect to strike the snare. In this position spiders will sometimes wait for hours, and it is just possible that they may then take a little nap. They might easily do that and yet not lose their game, for the agitation of the web would rouse the sleeper, and then it would run down the trap line and se cure its prey. Some species of spiders do the chief part of their hunting at night, and there are some who chiefly hunt during the day; but, as a rule, these industrious animals work both day and night.-St. Nicholas. Suffered For His Chickens. In London as far back as 1791 a city ordinance was passed to suppress the early morning cries of the street huck sters. This law was so severe that a person arrested twice for the same of fense could be imprisoned for ten years. There is one record of a man lingering in prison for ten years. When his time was up he was asked what his crime was. "For selling chickens that squawk ed," was the reply. In the confusion of the trial the fac* was not brought out that the chickens and not the man' were responsible for the din that aroused the wrath of the disturbed citizens. The Paper Told the Tale A certain Greek adventurer some years ago undertook to palm off upon the public some false copies of the gospel manuscripts. Many learned men were deceived, but not Dr. Coxe, libra rian of the Bodleian library at Oxford. How he detected the fraud was related in his own words In the Spectator: I never really opened the book, but I held it in my hand and took one page of it between my finger and thumb while I listened to the rascal's account of how he found this most Interesting antiquity. At the end of three or four minutes I handed it back to him with the short comment, "Nineteenth cen tury paper, my dear sir." and he took it away in. a hurry and did not come again. Yes, I was pleased, but I have handled several ancient manuscripts in my time, and I know the feel of old paper.

Difference In the $train That Comes Upon Its Two Parts. The rudder of a wooden ship is com I posed of the stalk and the backing, which are so joined together as to form in effect a single piece. The complete rudder is coppered to protect It from worms, and then, besides being practically all in one piece. It has that appearance also. The stalk is the part to which are at tached the piutles, or pivots, by which the rudder is suspended and held in place, these going through eyes set in the ship's sternpost. The stalk runs up through the stern of the ship, and to its head is bolted a cap to which are at tached the ropes by means of which the rudder is controlled. The backing is the blade part of the rudder. By far the greater strain comes on the stalk, and the greatest.strain of all comes on the head of the stalk, the rudder head, where it is held. The stalk is made of the wood most likely to stand the strain, carefully selected, sound, well seasoned oak, while the backing is made of spruce or hard pine. The stalk is of a single, solid, massive piece, stout as an oak tree and indeed of the dimensions of a small oak, some thing that a man can pin his faith to, If he can have faith in any wood, while the backing or blade is, like many mod ern wooden masts, built up. It would be difficult if not impossible to find trees that would yield planks big enough for the purpose in a single piece, and the built up backing, made of pieces of selected wood, can easily be made of ample strength to with stand any strain that will be brought upon it. As to the staic, stout and solid as the oak may be, the head may be,twisted by the force of a tremendous blow from a wave upon the rudder, or, under the repeated strains of long use, the head may split and so make the stalk use less. Then the rudder is tak - o -t and fitted with a new stalk. .cable stick is selected and worken. ,wn to the proper size and form, and very probably the old backing is attached to it. The life of a rudder stalk would probably be twelve to fourteen years. The backing might last as long as the ship.-New York Sun. Stop that ticklingcough!

There is a story about the Duke of Wellington that illustrates the fantas tic idea of honor held by many Span iards, contrasted with the practical common sense of Englishmen. When the duke was co-operating with the Spanish army in the peninsula against Napoleon he was desirous on one oc easion during a general engagement that the general commanding the Spanish contingent should execute a certain movement on the field. He coimunicated the wish to the Span lard personally and was somewhat taken aback to be told that the honor of the king of Spain and his army would compel him to refuse the re quest unless Wellington. as a foreign officer graciously permitted to exist and fight on Spanish soil, should pre sent the petition on his knees. The old duke often used to tell the story after ward, and he would say, "Now, I was extremely anxious to have the move ment executed, and I didn't care a 'twopenny damn' about getting on my knees, so down I jumped!" A Dog and His Name. "There .was a dog case which ex cited much attention in Berlin some years ago," said a former resident of that city. "A citizen complained to the authorities against a neighbor who, he said, to annoy him, gave his name to a mongrel cur. 'He calls my name,' he said. 'and- when I turn around he laughs and says he was calling his dog.' ""What's your name?' asked the magistrate. "'My name is Schulz.' "'And do you call the dog Schultz? he asked the other man. "'Yes, your honor, but I spell it with a T-Schultz.' "'Call him without the T,' com manded the magistrate, trying to look serious. The man did so, the dog came to him and an order to change the name or be fined followed." The Water Bottle's Shape. Three useful purposes-and probably many more than three-are served by making the familiar water bottle of such a distinctive pattern. In the first place the narrowness of the neck pre vents the entry of much dust that would inevitably settle on the water were the entire surface exposed; in the next place the same narrowness pre vents excessive and rapid evaporation of the water. and in the third place the shape of the neck makes it a capital landie, thus doiug away with the ne essity for a separate handle fastened to the body of the bottle, a course th.t would render it much less convenient and more liable to be broken.--Pear son's. Thc- Sequel to the Joke. Many years ago a visitor to Edin burgh was being shown over the high court of justiciary.

The lady wrote: Dear Sir-In reply to your esteemed fa vor, I have much pleasure in informing you that my favorite prayer is, "Give us this day our daily bread." I placed it at the head of the col umn. put the pape.- to bed and went there myself. feeling pleased.

I woke up screaming.-Keble Howard in Sketch. Classed as an Antique Also. A charming hostess of one of the "big houses," as they are called by those who are welcomed into them, has the added beauty of prematurely white hair, says the Washington Star. That which seems to her contempo raries an added charm may appear to the crudely young a mark of decline, at least so it appears in one instance of which the hostess herself tells with enjoyment. The lady is a connoisseur of antiques. At one of her teas a debutante rich with the glow of youth, but sadly con strained with her sense of her own novelty, was handed a cup of tea. The cup was beautifully .blue and wonder fully old. The hostess, desiring -to lighten the strain on her youthful guest by a pleasingly diverting re mark, said, "That little cup is 150 years old." "Oh," came the debutante's high strained tones, "how careful you must be to have- kept it so long!" Trades That Kill. One of the most dangerous of trades, according to the Pilgrim, "is the cover ing of toy animals with skin, chamois leather being used, for instance, for the elephants, calfskin for the horse and goatskin for the camels. This covering must of course fit without a wrinkle to look natural, so the wood en model is first dipped into glue, then sprinkled with chalk dust; then the skin is put on. The chalk is so fine that it fills the air and is drawn into the throat and lungs. A year of this sort of work often results in death. Another very injurious toy is the rub ber balloon. The fumes and solvents used in reducing sheet rubber to the necessary thinness while retaining its strength and the dyeing of the' bril liant yellows, greens and purple are most of them poisonous. "Health Coffee" is really the closest coffee imitation ever yet produced. This, the finest coffee substitute ever made, has recently been produced by Dr. Shoop of Racine, Wis. Not a grain of real coffee in it either. Health cof I fee is made from pure toasted cereals, with malt, ;uts, etc. Really it would fool an expert-who might drink it for coffee. No twenty or thirty minutes boiling. "Made in a minute" says the doctor. Manning Grocery Co. THE SNEEZE. In Past Ages It Played a Very Im .portant Part In Life. Many odd notions still exist as to sneezing, and some persons may be heard to exclaim "Bless, my soul, once!" "Bless my soul, twice!" and so on after each sneeze. But in past ages the sneeze really played a 'very important part. In ancient Greece the people saluted each other whenever any one present chanced to sneeze. As Xenophon was addressing the Greek army in a mo ment of defeat on a historical occa* sion a soldier sneezed. The lines of battle were formed at once, for the sneeze was deemed a good omen, and the Greeks were successful. Among the Hebrew's when a person sneezed the bystanders would say, "Tobinz chailm"--"A long life to you. In India criminals on the rack of tor ture have saved their own lives by sneezing accidentally. A humorous story about sneezing is told in that wondei'ful collection of oddities, "The Arabian Nights." A schoolmaster was particular in teach' ug his pupils the value of politeness. He also told them that whenever he sneezed tthey should clap their hands and say, "Long live our noble master.' One day master and pupils went out for a stroll. The air was hot, and alJ soon 'grew very thirsty. Great was their joy at last to find a well. But the bucket was at the bottom of the well, and so the schoolmaster went down to bring it up. The boys seized the rope and tugged for dear life. Just as the schoolmaster reached the top ol the well he sneezed. The boys let go the rope and clapped their hands, shout' ing, '"Long live our noble master!" As for the poor schoolmaster, he fell to the bottom of the well, where hE may be to this day, for all one knows Milwaukee Wisconsin. Blunders of the Types. An author who has a scrapbook de voted to typographical errors was showing the articles to a friend. One item concerned a dance. The word "bonnier" was misprinted, with this deplorable result: "There wer'e nou bonier ladies present than the in nr's own daughters, and this fact wVas fur ther emphasized by the perfect iut of the shepherdess costumes they wore." A country paper, after telling how a cow got in front of a train, said, "'As the safest course under the circumi stances the engineer put on full steam, dashed into the cow and literally cut it into two calves-" A New York society editor, misprint ug the word "chill," published this statement: "Mrs. Astor was unavoid'a bly absent from the reception, being kept at home by a bad child."
