Mr Editor, Dear Sir,���������In a late issue of your paper I find a letter re the social given by the "Riverview", Lodge, L:T.B. No.'166. The writer of .which did fair justice in the latter-part having given the Association credit-where credit wasdue. But, Sir, I am compelled to remark his manner of judging as to who were church-going people, and who were not, he seems to have had not the faintest idea. Knowing, as 1 do, theie are few rural districts that have come under my notice where people have more devotional habits than the one in question. If "Maple Leaf" had the pleasure of acquaintance with the members of "River- view Lodge.', he .would very soon be convinced it would be contrary to the nature of his- early training to^nake assertions that they were not a church-going society Perhaps eur friend wrote the first part of his letter that evening before retiring, if so, an excuse might be in order, otherwise it might be imagined he has acquaintances who ware, too mucn enamoured by the contents of interesting reading matter, and who are always in their places and pews on Sunday. It would be only proper to say the good people m the country surrounding Courtenay are in full sympathy with the motives of the L.T.B. Association. Before closing this I can assure "Maple Leaf I have made no attempt to throw a shadow across his path or feel any way inclined to tamper .with his feelings, and hope at some time in the near future to find he has again enjoyed the pleasures oi a social in connection with "Riverview" Lodge, L.T.B. ���������I am, yours truly, D.D.G.M. ������ ��������� I**-" , A Tale of the Cattle Thieves of Agu������ Calientc. '-Copyright, 1D0O by "WY LcC. Beard As "we luul planned, the foreman sent five men in different directions with orders to search for" traces ot the missing herd, to let us know at once if any vwere found, and to report by midnight "in any case. Delighted at the prospect <o������ action, the men trooped ont of my 'tent .Some of them spread their blan- ' *-kets ont to dry. Others offered needless -help to the.men who were preparing to -set out. The rest, Spicier among them, lounged about the cook wagon ancl "joshed" the Ballet Girl, to use their own phrase, because he could not start ���������his'fire. For some minutes the {foreman ' stood in the dqpr of my tent nabbing liis chin thoughtfully. Then be called -to Spider. , "Look ��������� here, you' kid," said he, "You heard what we said 'bout eendin ���������down the river ter get more men. Well, I want you ter saddle up u fresh pony an' 'be ready ter start in five minutes. Bear 'I The boss,' here, he'll write a note fer , -you ter take. Get a wiggle on, now.'' / ,v*The laugh that /Spider brought with him faded from his'fac*. This was business, and without a word he nodded ,;.and strode away, v , . "I reckon he's about-the bes' one ter -sen'." continued the foreman, turning to me.' "He'll do, what he sets out ter do "every time.* Then it ain't likely, therms ,any danger down that way, an 'lyou can't-tell what'll turn up here. It'll ���������-keep the kidouter mischief fer awhile.' While.the foreman was speaking 1 -���������had torn a leaf out of* an account book - 'and had written the note. Suddenly 1 *became aware' .that the laughter' and ���������-"talk of the men had hushed. A second dater Spider, his face workingr with ���������irage,- dashed into the tent," caught up a Tifle'and vanished. "Stop 1" roared the foreman, lifting the flap that closed the tent door '"Through the .opening I could see that 'Spider had dropped on . one knee and 'was taking careful 'aim at something Jihat was out of rny view" ���������"What you,dpinV Come here I"-cbm- >xnanded the foreman sternly. Lowering ���������-the rifle. Spider rose slowly to his feet, "keeping his eyes fixed on-the point toward which he had been aiming Run-, taing to the door. I followed his gaze 'with my eyes.'".*-- . . * t, On a ridge of sand, half a mile,away. ������ three "men were galloping up and down, waving ��������� their/ hat? and fifing pistols. They were shouting,"too,- for0 the faint ���������echoes of their shouts reached us. "Look there!" cried Spider "See them men V Hollis is one of 'em. an that greaser what shot at me las' night. "They'vegivin-us the laugh, that's what ���������they're doin. 'cause we los' our cattle , un they got 'em."'Are you fellers"��������� "Come here! Hear me?" commanded 'the foreman again. "Look here, young man," he continued as Spider came re1 Juctantly forward.- "It ain.'t good buyi- "ness lettin youi'"mad get up so bad you lose yer head, not for no one what 'works roun horses an cattle. You had -orders too. Nobody jvhat won't obey orders works in my gang'. Ther wasn't no shootin called for.. Besides," he add- -ed as an afterthought, "you'd; a-knowed *^f you'd had any sense that you could ' Spider his i'aco ifelL "That's right. I los' my head clean. il know I did. "* I won't do it again an, --say, I'm awful sorry. " he said penitently. Carefully lowering the hammer, he placed the rifle, apparently as a sort of token of surrender, in the foreman's hands Then, without another look at the men who were still capering about fon the ridge, he w.ent away to saddle a -���������horse. "The boy's got the bea" ey'es of anybody in the outfit, all right enough." ������������������said the foreuiau. setting dowu the -.-rifle. "1 alwus knowed that, but yet 1 ������������������don't believe he c'n tell who those men ��������� are. not so far away aa that." ��������� It certainly seemed impossible that ���������Spider could distinguish any one at so great a distance.. I ran into the tent to , -get a pair of fieldgiasses. but when I /returned the men had disappeared. "Jus' give one yell an then Walloped off behin'. tho ridge thar as you went /..in," said tlie foreman. "They was lef behin' by the res' er ther gang so's ter ���������watch us* I reckon, an see what we're ���������a-gonter do. " "Well, they won't watch .nptfiin,' '������������������ commented Lee. who had strolled up to ���������ii* "They're' drank an they'll get -'drunker; 'specially if Hollis is there. Hfii'0 ' ben sober so long now that he ���������������������������wcrVt stop soon once he gets started." "Meekness an sobriety an the rest of V2t 'K-Ha't his style enough ter hurt." ���������:agre*;l tho foreman. - "But maybe Hollis wasn't there. .Look a here, you.kid.' ibe called as Spider rode up on the biggest and, nest to his own, the ugliest horse I fead: brought from the ranch. I ���������forgot te? -&11 yen before that you're 'likely ter c&sas up agains' a heap er "trouble oss e? these times if you go -shootin at saea *^bat yon don't know, 'specially ^hora they're so fur off you ���������can't hit 'eua. It ain't perlite." So earneat was Spider that he failed for the moment to see that the foreman ���������was joking. "I did know 'em���������two of 'em���������Hol- ���������������iot hit nothin at that range.' .glanced at the foreman, and lis an that there greaser." he cried. "I saw 'em t 'Deed I did. Honest." "So?" replied the foreman, with assumed gravity. "Well, if that's the case, jus" you climb down offen that ther horse an go an get yer supper 'fore you start." t "Don't need ter. Got some grub here in my cerones (saddlebags) The Bally- Girl give- it to me, jus' now. Mayn't I go'?". The foreman waved his hand and smiled. With an answering grin Spider galloped away. In view of ths distance that must be traveled we hardly expected to see Spider again before daylight. Making allowance for delays, we heped to get away on the following evening. To me the wait of 24 hours seemed a fatal waste of time. ��������� The cattle would probably be well into Mexico before that. "Prawb'ly they will." agreed tho foreman. "Then all wo got ter do is ter get 'em outer Mexico again, that's all." This was delightfully simple in theory. The practice, I Reared, would be somewhat difficult. It was obviously impossible for us to move, as we were then situated. Until our re-enforcement should come we could do nothing but -wait- Much sooner than'was expected, however, these re-enfercements came. The , men were just finishing their supper. In order to guard against apossible though nnlikely-attempt at surprise, one_ of, their number, posted in a position from which he could watch both the mesa" and the river flat,,was acting as senti-. 'nel. Suddenly he hailed the camp. "Ther's a gang er men an horses com-, in up the river," he cried. In an'in- stant, every man waa on his feet, had caught up his rifle and was running to the edge of the cliff, sheltering himself behind the rocks that fringed it. Some of the men were ordered to fall back in' order to,guard us against surprise from* the rear. They went, and then for a moment there was silence en the top of the cliftY A buzz of .conversation from the men below could be plainly heard. , "Them fellers ain't greasers, anyhow," whispered the foreman. "How do you know?"*I asked. - . "Why,,greasers talks high up in their heads, like women, er kids. These men talks low in ther chests, like us. Listen. " ��������� ' ' ���������. .. * "Hello the camp!" hailed someone ;,from below. , "I-Iello below Who*are you?',' roared the foreman in return. "From the X bar X ranch. Ther'a more of us comin How d'yer^get up that, anyhow?" "* "Waiter minute." called th"e foreman While the conversation was going on Lee had laid down his rifle and had been hurriedly gathering the resinous branches cf the greasewood, shrub that grew about us thickly, and binding them together with a rawhide thong Lighting the bundle at the fire,^ he ran back and threw it over the edge of the cliff ** Fanned by the draft made by its fall, the resinous wood blazed like a firework of some kind. The horses of the party below-shied and capered as the glare struck their eyes, and there was some swearing among their riders. The light showed half a score of lean, 6unburned men, heavily armed and well mounted Their leader, an elderly man on a silver trimmed saddle, was at once recognized as an old acquaintance by the foreman ��������� "Glad t' see yer, Hay ward," called he. "Turn t' yer left, thar, an you'll find a trail what'll bring yer safe up. Sorry ter sen that flare down, but we had ter be sure you was friends. Come up. " Filing over the rough path that zigzagged up tbe "cliff, the ranchers reached the tableland. "Mighty glad you all's come���������didn't expec' you so soon," said the foreman, shaking hands with Hayward. "How'd yer leave.the cattle down your way.?" . "There aren't any cattle down our way���������not so much as a calf left,'' was the response. "This raid is the biggest thing I ever knew. It has wiped ont every brand on tbe river anywhere ���������ilnns here The boys are all up We'rp the first, br.t the reft are coming, all that can Sevan of onr men will never Htir again. " "Gone out?" asked the foreman. "Yes; shot by the thieves. I met that boy you sent after us about half an hour ago. He didn't know what to make of us any'more than you did. and on(3.of the boys' who rode out to see who be was nearly got shot for his pains. Wo made him understand after awhile that we weren't rustler.-*, *md then he gave, us your message. " "Why didn't he come back with yon "?" 1 asked. "Don't know. 1 told, him he might as well, for we were all up and coming, but he asked us to tell you that he'd return shortly, and then he struck over the desert, going south. I don't know where he was bound for." Spider's absence troubled me a good deal, but the foreman and the Ballet Girl took it very calmly indeed. There wasn't any one who could hurt him, said they, except possibly the three men that we had seen that morning, and it was not at all likely that he meet them. < WALKED 223,840 MILES.0. , Edward' Pearce, of Woodchurch* Eng-., has 'just retired from the postal service.

There was a large quantity of new .blankets sent to one of our hospitals, which when given; out, .were said by the patients .to' be. not so warm as the old blankets were, and that led to an investigatian as to whether the blankets were genuine or not. They looked well, and weighed properly, and I got a blanket sent to me for examination ancl analysis. Wo found soon that there was cotton mixed with the wool, and the,question was as to separating the two, because they'were thoroughly woven throughout, and it was only by detaching the fine fibres from each other that you. identified the cotton fibre. I fell on the device of using soda. I took a bit of blanket and put it in a vessel with soda, and boiled it there, and f very3 quickly the wool got eaten away by the soda, and there was -left behind the cotton as a kind of skeleton���������a sort of ghost���������of the original blanket out of which it was taken. I mention this merely to indicate to you" the pernicious effects of using caustic materials, which, when employed strong by themselves, affect woollen articles in this way, and which, even when .not very strong,' will more slowly, but with equal certainty, tend to' destroy the woollen fibre.*' Now.

The cave bear, the saber tooth tiger, even some warrior of his own kind, was apt at any moment to leap upon him and to devour his food and perhaps himself. Therefore he took his meals with his back against a cliff or in the corner of two adjoining cliffs, if posaible, and with the open country before him. That, you see,, was .the safest way for him to eat. He could not then be surprised. "And we still have in us that memory of tb% primitive man, and we still unconsciously, when we sit down to our- repasts, choose places, that give us a wall for our protection. That and not a desire to see things is what causes U3 to pick out walls and corners. You can see as well from the middle of a room or from any other place, you know." A ThonphtfJil tlnHbanfl.

The sun being assumed to be an incandescent liquid, now losing heat, the question * naturally occurs, how did this heat originate? It is certain that it cannot have existed in the sun through an infinity of past time, since as long as it has so existed it must have been suffering dissipation, and the finiteness of the sun precludes the supposition of an infinite store of heat in his hods*., The sun must therefore either havo been ^created as an active source of heat at some time of not immeasurable -antiquity by, an overruling decree, or0 the heat which he has already radiated away and that which he still possesses must have been acquired by n natural process following permanently established laws. ' t , -Without pronouncing the former'supposition to be essentially incredible, we may safely* say thatcit isjn the"'highest degree improbable if we can show the latter to be not contradictory to known" physical laws. '.���������',, ' And we do show this, and more by merely pointing to certain "actions going on before us at "present,* which, if sufficiently abundant at some past time, must have given .the sun heat enough to count, for all,Ave Icuoav, of his past radiation and present temperature. " . < It is not necessary at present to enter at -length on the - details regarding, the meteoric .theory, '-which appears to'have been'first proposed m a definite form by Mayer and afterward' independently0, by Waterston,- 91* regarding the modified-' hypothesis'of meteoric vortices, which the writer of the present article'showed to be necessary'in order that the'length of the' year, as known for the last 2,000 years, may not have bcen>sensibljr disturbed by their sessions which the sun's mass must have ,hatl during that period, if the heat radiated .away has always been compensated by heat generated by .meteoric" influx. We may,now believe that all the the-'1 ories of complete or nearly "complete contemporaneous meteoric compensation must pbe rejected/but Ave'may still hold that "meteoric * ������������������* * is * "* * not only proved to exist as a cause of solar heat, but it is the only one of all conceivable causes which avo_ know to exist from independent evidence.!'. ( - , * , The,form of meteoric theory which now seems most probable, and .which was first discussed on true thermodj*namic principles by 'Helmholtz, 'consists in'supposing the sun and its heat to have originated in a coalition of smaller-bodies falling together by mutual graA'itation and generating," as they'must do, according to the great*law demonstrated by Joule,, an ex:- act equivalent of heat for the motion lost in coalition. ' That some form of meteoric theory is certainly the true "and complete explanation of solar heat can scarcely be doubted when the following reasons are considered : First.���������No other natural explanation, except by cheniical action, can be conceived. , Second.���������The chemical theory is quite insuflicient, because the most energetic chemical action Ave know, taking place between substances amounting to tho whole sun's mass, would onlj' generate about 3,000 years' heat. * Third.���������There is no difficulty in accounting for 20,000,000 years' heat by the meteoric theory. It Avould extend this article to too great length and would require something of mathematical calculation to explain fully tho principles on Avhich this last estimate is founded. 'It is enough to say that bodies, all much smaller than the ,sun, falling together from a state of relative rest, at mutual distances all large in comparison Avith their diameters, and forming a globe of uniform density equal in mass and diameter to the sun, AA'ould generate an nmount of heat which, accurately calculated according to Joule's principle and experimental results, is" found to be just 20,000,000 times Pouillete's estimate of tho annual amount of solar radiation. The sun's density must, in all probability, increase very much toAvard his center, and therefore a considerable greater amount of heat than that must be supposed to have been generated if his whole mass was formed by tlie coalition of comparatively small !iodies. Ou the other hand, Ave do n<v ki|ow- how much heat may have been diosipated bj- resistance and minor impacts be/ore the fiual conglomeration, but there is reason to belieA'c that even the most rapid conglomeration that we conceive to have probably taken place coukTonly leave the finished globe with about half the entire heat due to the amount of potential energy of mutual gravitation: exhausted. We may therefore accept as a lowest estimate for the sun's initial-heat 10.000,- 000 times a year's supply a: the present rate, but 50.000.000 or 100.000.000 as possible in consequence of the sun's greater density in his central parts. The considerations adduced above regarding the sun's possible specific heat, rate of cooing and superficial temperature render ft probable that J) e must haA-o been Alery sensibly Avarmer a million years ago than now, and consequcntlj*, if he has existed as a luminary for 10,000,000 or 20,000,000 years, he must have radiated a Avay.. considerably more than the corresponding number of times the present year's amount of loss. It seems, therefore, on the whole, most probable that the sun has not illuminated the earth for 100.000,000 years and almost certain that he has not done so for 500,000,000 years. As for the future, we may say with equal certainty that inhabitants of the earth cannot, continue to enjoy the light and heat essential to their life for many million years longer unless' sources now unknown to us are prepared in the great storehouse of cr.eation.���������-"Essays In Astronomy," by Lord Kelvin (Appieton & Co.).

"Don't need ter. Got some grub here in my cerones (saddlebags). The Bally Girl givo it to hie' jus' now. Mayn't I go?" The foreman waved his hand and smiled: With an answering grin Spider galloped away. In view of the distance tbat must be traveled, we ' hardly expected to see Spider again before daylight. Making allowance for delays, we hoped to get awayconthe following evening. To me the wait of 24 hours seemed a * fatal waste of time. The cattle would probably be well into Mexico before that. "Prawb'ly* they will,", agreed tho' foreman. "Then all Ave got ter do is ter get 'em "outer Mexico again, that's all." This was delightfully simple in theory. The practice, I feared, would be somewhat difficult* It was obviously'1 impossible for'us to move, as we were then situated. Until our re-enforcement should come we could do nothing but wait , < Much sooner than was expected., however, these re-enforcements came. The men were just finishing their supper. In , order to guard against a possible though unlikely attempt at surprise, one of their number, posted in a position from which he could watch both the "mesa ���������and the river' flat, was ' acting as sentinel. Suddenly be' hailed the camp. "Tber's a gang er men an horses comin up the* river," he cried. In ,an instant, every man was on his feet, had caught up his rifle and was running to the edge of the cliff, "sheltering himself behind the rocks that fringed it.> Some of the men were ordered to fall back in order to guard us against surprise from* the rear. They went, and then for a moment there wassilehce on'the top of the cliff. A buzz of conversation from the men belowcould be plainly heard. , "Them fellers ain't greasers, any^ how," whispered the foreman.

The horses of the party below shied and capered as the glare struck their eyes, and there was some sAvearing among their riders.

I told him he might as Ave 11. for we were all up and coming, but he asked <us to tell you that he'd return shortly, and then he struck over the desert, going south. I don't know where he was bound for." Spider's absence troubled me a good deal, but the foreman and the Ballet Girl took it very calmly indeed.

Tbe worries of the bachelor may be feAver. but they are more- trying to the scalp than are the multitudinous* cares of the* man of family. Most bald people are found to lead Indoor lives, and almost alt of them belong to the intellectual class. Usually the loss of hair begins before the thirtieth year. In woman it usually constitutes a general thinning': in men it affects the top of the head. Diseases that affect-the general nutrition of the bgdy are likely to thin the hair. Heredity is a factor. If one has baldheaded ancestors, all the drugs of the pharmacopoeia will not bring out flowing locks. Fonr to One. An English officer in Malta stopped in riding to ask a native the way.

The sun being assumed to be an incandescent liquid, noAV losing heat, the question naturally occurs, Iioav did this heat originate? It is certain that it cannot ,have existed in the sun through an infinity of past time, since as long as it has so existed it must have been r suffering dissipation, and the finiteness of the sun precludes the supposition of an hiGnito 'store of heat in his bodj-. The sun- must therefore either have been created'as au active source of heat at some time of not immeasurable an- tiquity by an overruling decree, ,or,. the heat which he has already 'radiated' mvay.and that Avhich he still possesses .must have been- acquired by a natural process folloAA'jug permanently established laAvs. ' ' Without pronouncing the former supposition to be essentially incredible, we may safely say that it is in the highest degree improbable if we can, shoAv the latter to be not contradictory to known physical klAVS.' ''*,,���������- And' we do shoAv this and more by merely pointing* to certain actions going oiYbefore ,us at present,; Avhich, if'sufficiently abundant at some past' lime, must, have given^.the"sun heat enough to -count, for all Ave know, of his past radiation and ���������present* temperature. It'is not necessary at present to enter at length on "the-details .regarding the meteoric theory, which appears to, have1* been first* proposed in a definite forni by .Mayer and 'aftci-Avard independently ,,by Waterston,. or regarding 'the modified hypothesis of meteoric A-ortices, which the writer of the present article showed'to be , necessary' in order that tho length of the '* year, as knoAvn for the last 2,000 years, , may not have been-.sensibly disturbed bjv their sessions which the sun's mass must have had during that period,' if the heat radiated a,way has alwaj's been compeu; sated by heat generated by meteoric influx. ��������� We may now ,believe that all the the-" ories of-complete or nearly complete contemporaneous meteoric compensation must be rejected, but we may still hold that "meteoric -,* *- * is ,,*'������** *, not only' proved to exist as a' cause of' solar j heat, but it is the only one of all conceivable causes which Ave know to exist from independent eA-idence."., . The form of meteoric theory AA'hiclrhow' seems most probable, 'and Avhich was first discussed on true thermodynamic principles by .Helmholtz,'consists* in supposing the' suh and its heat to have originated in' ,a coalition of smaller .bodies falling together by mutual -graA*itation and generating,' as they must do, according to the groat law demonstrated" by Joule, ah' exact equivalent of heat for the motion lost in coalition. That some form of meteoric, theory is certainly the true and complete explanation of solar heat can scarcely be doubted Avlien the following reasons are considered: ' ' *��������� First.���������No other natural explanation, except by chemical action, can be conceived. * < Second.���������The chemical theory is quite insufficient, because the most energetic chemical action Ave know, 'taking place between substances amounting to the whole sun's mass, would only generate about 3,000 years' heat. Third.���������There is no difficulty in accounting for 20,000,000 -years' heat by the meteoric theory. It/would'extend this article to too great length and would require something of mathematical calculation to explain fully tho principles on Avhich this last estimate is founded. 'It is enough to say that bodies, all much smaller than the sun, falling together from a state of relative rest, at mutual distances all ' large un comparison ^Avith their diameters, and forming a globe of uniform density equal in mass and diameter to v the sun, Avould generate an amount of heat Avhich, accurately calculated according to Joule's'principle and, experimental results, is" found to be just 20,000,000 times Pouillete's estimate of the annual amount of solar radiation. The sun's density must, in all probability, increase very much toAvard his center, and therefore a considerable greater amount or heat than that must be supposed to have been generated if his Avhtjle mass was formed by the coalition of comparatively small bodies. Ou the other hand,, we do,*i*'v ki|OAV- how much heat may have been .dissipated by resistance and minor impacts before the fiunl conglomeration, but there is reason to believe that even the most rapid conglomeration* that we conceive to have probably taken place could only leave the finished globe with about half the entire heat due to the amount of potential energy of mutual gravitation .exhausted. We may therefore accept as a lowest estimate for the sun's initial heat .10.000,- 000 times a year's supply a: the present rate, but 50.000,000 or 100.000,000 as possible in consequence of the sun's greater density in his central parts. The considerations adduced above regarding the sun's possible specific heat, rate ot coo">'ag and superficial temperature render "ft probable that he must baA*o been very sensibly warmer a million years ago than now, and consequently, if he has existed as a luminary for 10,000.000 or 20.000,000 years, he must have radiated away considerably more than, the corresponding number of times the present year's amount of loss. It seems, therefore, on the Avhole, most probable that the sun has not illuminated the earth for 100.000,000 years and almost certain that he has not doue so for 500,000,000 years. As for the future, we may say with equal certainty that inhabitants of the earth cannot continue to enjoy the light and heat essential to their life for many million years longer unless' sources now unknown to us are prepared in the great storehouse of creation.���������"Essays In As- ,tro:*.omy," by Dord Kelvin (Appleton & ' Co.,).

Now they would raise their palms half ^closed to Pleaven, with a passionate gesture of supplication ; now they would bow their heads and spread their hands before them on the ground.

In an interview succeeding his resignation of the Tammany chief- ship, Richard Croker said: You ask me for'advice on how to succeed in politics. The first thoughts that occur to mo after long experience in active' and practical, politics are these: Be honorable, be manly, live up to* your promises, be loyal to your friends, be trustworthy���������not only in big affairs, but in the smallest matters. These qualities deserve to win confidence, and they always do win it. I know this, because I have put it to the test.

In China there is nothing of the sweet girlhood which is enjoyed in this country���������iu fact, 'one rarely sees girls in'China, says a- writer in the Loudon Mail: They marry so young that they appear to ,spring from childhood to maturity without any intermediate stage of girlhood. There is no "blushing Iii" or "sweet. Hi," no flirtations.* "no balls, no picnics, no 'billets,doux. The child has uot ceased to play with her doll before she* has a baby to dandle. The only joy of a woman's life is in dressing her hair. This is done with an elaborate, artistic science curious to see. Their hair is invariably black and very long. It is drawn tightly from the face and stiffened with gum. It is then piled up in coils and wings and loops that stand alone without the .aid of pads, roulets, pugs or-hairpins. There ure no spinsters in' China except the nuns who dedicate their virginity to Buddha.

BurralJ spoke of the amount 'of mischief done by the very common habit of eating the meals rapidly. Thorough mastication was of the utmost importance, and of course this presupposed a proper condition of the teeth. Gastric digestion was often weakened and much distress was caused by taking in too much fluid with the food, particularly at the beginning of a meal. Another factor in causing dyspepsia was the habit of eating food in silence or without that mirth and good fellowship so necessary to insure the normal action of the digestive organs. These little details might seem trite and unimportant, but it was the duty of the careful physician to instruct his patients in regard to them. The long continued and tree use of digestive agents sewed to make the digestive organs lazy and inactive.���������Medical Record. RICHARD CROKER. they were loyal always.

They know that a manly man can be counted upon to fight in the open, that he has the courage to be outspoken, that if he differs, he differs honestly. Hence men as a class follow the leadership of a man they can rely upon. There never was a sneak who was a successful leader. To retain his following, a leader must be above board with his associates. That is the first principle that anyone who wishes to achieve success in politics To Remove Splinters. A splinter, is a little thing, but capable of creating a great deal of mischief, discomfort and pain.- Every mother of small children, says a writer in Harper's Bazar, should provide herself with a pair of sharp pointed forceps for this emergency. When: the splinter is imbedded in the flesh of hand or foot, the point of a small pair of scissors���������a manicure pair will answer well���������should be inserted directly over and following the path of the splinter and a small incision made. If there he any. bleeding, stanch it by a little pressure, then open the wound by stretching it''a little and with your forceps pick out the offending object. When the splinter is under the nail, cut a little V shaped piece out of the nail, and with the forceps the splinter is easily removed. Protect the cut made with a little collodion or a finger cot. Order of Colored Nuns. In New Orleans is an order of colored nuns, founded many years ago. It was instituted for the special purpose of giving education and moral training to young colored girls and to care for orphans and aged, infirm persons of their race. In its orphan asylum are children of all ages up to 14 years. The convent is a stately building more than a century old in the old French quarter of- New Orleans and once was ������,������ opera house and ballroom. ner of making these rugs has come down from generation to generation and from century to century!

They know how to do ono thing well"*'and they keep on doing it as long as they live, and their'children take .it up- when .they lay it down. A few years ago aniline dyes were introduced into Persia, aud a wail of, despair* went up from artistic people everywhere. The exports from Persia fell , off. ancl the shah, on learning' the cause, forbade the importation of these dyes, and so the native rug ancl carpet makers have gone ba'ck to their beautiful "vegetable dyes that will endure forever. . "The colors of the best oriental rugs nevoid fade. The dust aud other foreign particles that they accumulate in the course of time soften the original colors, but nothing of their primal quality is really lost. Moreover, they can he cleaned, thoroughly over and over, and neither the texture nor the coloring will be the worse for it. "The Persians v-.-ill do nothinsr aside from their own* methods, but the people of India are excellent at copying and will reproduce a rug from a colored do- sign, if they do not have the original, so perfectly that one cannot be told from the other. They are able even to get the time softened effects in copying from the old rug. Two rugs are being made in India to match a large sixteenth century rug for one of the Vanderbilts, the design having been sent from here. "Another rich family is having rugs for their entire house made- in India from designs prepared by an artist to match the furniture and decorations, almost all being in the French renaissance style, although this is against 'the advice of architect and decorator.

A family moving into an old house a year or so ago was unpleasantly surprised to find that the former occupants had been lacking in ..housewifely qualities, and after sleeping in the house a night or so it was discovered that there was more insect life than was agreeable. To follow old fashioned methods was too slow, and instead three sulphur candles were purchased, the house was shut up after the candles had been lighted and left to itself for three hours. At the end of that time everything living inside had been killed, and' there was no trouble afterward.' The family moved to another floor in the same house, repeated the same operation,1'with the same success, and, removing again to their original floor, for a third time repeated the Whistling. As a method of prolonging life and strengthening the human frame against sickness whistling is said to be beyond compare. Development of chest and neck muscles is one of the special advantages claimed for the exercise. Long, deep breathing is ani essential for a good whistletv as it is not permissible to draw iu the breath except during the intervals of the sound production. Petnlant Tennyson.

"Do \ ery gentle, avoid roughness or auy thing likely to alarm him. In giving hi in'any liquid medicine do not open his mouth, but. placing him between your knees, with his face looking iu the fame direction as your own, gently raise his 'jaw and. pulling his lips' away from his teeth on one side of his mouth, to form a cup or funnel, very slowly pour from bottle or spoou the quantity he. is to have into it. Keep his head raised for a minute or two and if he does not swallow the dose insert a spoou between his front teeth. This will Lave ihe* effect of drawing off his attention from the medicine and he will usually swallow at once. If the dose is a pill/ bolus or anything solid, hold his head the Fame way as before mentioned, but with the left hand under lower jaw. press firmly on each side with thumb and linger a*r the junction of uppei\and lower jaws. This will usually cause him lo open' his mouth, when the' dose should'be put into* the mouth' -as , fa������������������ back as possible" over the tongue (or be *.vill'spit it out) and cio.se the jaws somewhat sharply, and in most cases the deed-is done.

Glacier ice is not like the solid blue ice on the surface of the water, but consists of granules joined together by an intricate .network of capillary water filled Assures. In exposed sections and upon the surface of the ice can be . observed "veined" or "banded" structure veins of a denser blue color alternating with those of a lighter shade containing air bubbles. The cause of this peculiar structure has been the subject of much theorizing among investigators, but hitherto the greatest authorities consider that the explanation of the phenomenon is yet ���������wanting. S Why a. Limpet Stick*.' The limpet has gained notoriety by the strength with which it adheres to the rock on which it decides to rest. The force required to detach the limpet froirfthe rock has lately been tested by a -well-known naturalist, who found that, more than sixty pounds must be exerted for the purpose. So this little: thing, weighing about half an ounce, sticks so tightly that a force equal to two thousand times ita own weight is necessary to drag it away.... It was at one time supposed that atmospheric pressure had something to do,with the adhesive power of the limpet,'but it is now generally agreed that the creature exudes a kind of glue for this purpose. If you place your finger on the rock immediately after a limpet has been detached, you will feel that the surface is sticky, ahd'if you allow your finger to remain there for a short time you will"notice that it is beginning to stick quite tightly.
