DONKEYS fN EGYPT. Brutally U^ed Arc These Despised Friends of the Natives. In Egypt the donkey is the chief beast of burden. Every farmer has at least two or three of them. and when he goes to hit) fields he rides with his friends on donkeys. He does not use u proper saddle, but has a couple of Backs strapped over the animal's back. No reins are used, und stirrups are never thought of. The donkeys are sometimes used in a most brutal fashion, for their riders guide them with a stick, bitting them on the *left side of the bead when they want them to go to the right, and vicp v versa. If the donkey's are not go* ing fust enough some riders rub the rough end of a stick along the spine or prick them behind the neck with a needle fixed Into the stick they use for guiding. - When Egyptian women ride the donkey they sit astride, and the young fellabah. or farmer's daughter, can go at a great speed. Most of tbe older women, however, are either too poor to afford one or too stout to balance on one. ? It Is common sight to see a man rid ing on a donkey and his wife trotting behind, barefooted and carrying an Infant in ber arms and a large basket on ber head. The Egyptian farmer has no Idea of women's rights. Besides carrying tbe farmer to and from his labor, the donkey has to carry bundles of blrseem or clover from tbe fields to the horses and buffaloes in the villages and towns, for grass and hay are al most unknown in Egypt When the donkey is not being work ed It Is roped to a peg in the ground and its two front feet are tied to gether. so that It cannot move more than two yards. It Is the natives' de spised friend. A Joke of Mark Twain's. The theatrical godfather of William Gillette was Mark Twain, who was a fellow townsman and a friend of bis father. Mark Twain In referring to the matter paid that when he used his Influence to get young Gillette on the stage he thought be was playing a great Joke on the management, for he did not think Gillette had the slightest aptitude for acting. But it turned out .to be no Joke after all. "I don't know," said Mark Twain, "which 1 like better ?having Gillette make a tremendous success or seeing one of my jokes go wrong."

HOLDING THE BREATH. 8imple Heart Test Used In Administer ing Anaesthetics. I)r. \V. A. Schtange dcscrilK's In tfu? Roussky V rut eh uu easy test which kt* ban devised to determine whether a pU tleut who has been told that he must undergo surgical treatment is in con dition to survive the administration of an anaesthetic. If the patient is unable to hold his breath for twenty seconds the indications are that his heart la so weak that he could not be subjected to the strain likely to be imposed by the anaesthetic. General anaesthesia is particularly daugerouB to persons suffering from myocardial changes, a condition which does not permit of ready recognition.' pjor this reason the simple test sug gested tty Dr. \V. A. Schtange will be welcome by the anaesthetist if extend ed experience should verify the doctor's assertions. The test is based on the fact that a healthy person can suspend brenthlng from thirty to forty seconds. This, the author states, depends not on the lung - capacity, but on the vigor of the heart muscle. In iHjrsons with weak hearts the time Is shortened to twenty or even ten seconds. The patient, seated in a chair, 1b told to take a moderately deep inspiration and with tlje mouth closed to hold his breath as long as he can. The shorter the time the patient can suspend breathing the greater the danger of an anaesthetic, the latter be ing contralndlcated yj the time Is less thfth twenty seconds.? New York Medi cal Journal. ' Vast Forests of Alaska. We hear much concerning the rapid disappearance of our forests. The vast i timbered area of the eastern and cen tral portions of the United States Is fast being transformed into a woodless country, becoming very thickly popu lated. and doubtless will never grow much timber again. In Alaska, which Is one of our territories, the timber area Is estimated to be somewhere near 30 per cent of the entire land, and there is considerably mqre than 100, 000,000 acres of good woHdland, with timber that is of such a value its real worth cannot be estimated. It will require years to even make any marked Impression on such a vast forest.? Phil adelphia North American. Mamma's Kiss. This pretty child story Is from the French:" 7 7 A mother tells her little girl that be cause she has been naughty she will not kiss her for a week." Before two days have gone by the child's lips hun ger so for hei* mother's kiss that sfle begs ber not to punish her any more. The mother says: "No, my dear. I told you that I should not kiss you. nnd I must keep my word." "But, mamma, mamma," saj's the lit tle girl, "would it be breaking your word if you should kiss me Just once tonight when I'm asteep?"
