Contrary to the gcueral belief, the rattler rarely gives Its characteristic note of warning until actually attack' ed. . In fact, tbe sharp, vibrant ring of lta terminal appendage la probably de signed more to assist this very slug' glah serpent to obtain Its food than to sound defiance or warning. In the first place, serpenta possess but the most rudimentary traces of auditory apparatus and are practically deaf, tbe deficiency in tbe sense of bearing be Lag compensated for by an extreme sensitiveness of feeling which makes them aware of the approach of moving objects by the vibration of the ground. Ilunters, treading cautiously upon oft carpet of moss or leaves to avoid alarming game, will often step close to or over a rattler without disturbing it or receiving warning, and while many snakes are seen and killed by them it Is probable that a far greater number are passed by unnoticed. AH snakes are timid and would rather run than fight, and the rattler Is not lnvlt lng certain destruction by advertising lta whereabouts In the brush. Francis Metcalfe In Outing Magazine. CAUGHT THE THIEF. An Incident Which Illustrates Japanese Detective Methods. Recently lu tbe village of Tabara mura, Japan, all tbe male inhabitants above tbe age of fifteen years were as aembled In front of tbe local Shinto shrine at the call of the village chief, A thief had been making depredations In the local tobacco plantations, and the chief sought to discover him. Out lines of the feet of all the villagers were taken on sheets of paper, and then these were compared with the tracks left by tbe thief In tbe tobacco fields. Nothing resulted from this ex perlment The next day the inhabit ants were called together again. great hole was dug in the ground, and a raging charcoal fire was built In it All persons present were ordered to walk through the fire barefooted. It being declared that no person would be burned except the guilty one. All advanced to undergo the ordeal except one, Sbuklcbi SMbata, a man or evil reputation. lie declined to trust his feet to the redhot coals. Accordingly be was arrested and soon confessed his guilt FICTION AND FACT. The Message In the 8tory Book and In Real Life. In a magaxlne: "I don't like you any more." Harold Hopllte looked up at the quaint figure a boy of six, with mouth smeared with huckleberry pie, Harold was glum. "I don't like you any more." -Whyr " 'Cause you made sister cry." "Ethel cry! I dldn't-I couldn't- make her cry." "Well, i he's crying now when yon said nothing when you walked away, Why didn't yon say by-by and kiss her when you're going away? I al woys do." "I will! Right now!" And Harold hastened back to make np the lovers' quarrel. In real life: "Say, sister gave me a piece of pie to come down and see if you'd gone and If you hadn't to try to get you back past where she was sitting on tbe porch getting ready to be crying." "Oh!"-New York American. The Spleen as Food. In France and Italy many persons eat the spleen, what we call In French "ratte." I have eaten It myself. Get erally from a pig It weighs about eight ounces, and it Is situated on the right side of the pig, touching the liver. A spleen from a cow or bull weighs about two pounds, but Is a little more spongy than the pig'B spleen, which Is the best. If some one should start the fashion we would after awhile pay 75 cents a portion In first class restau rants, especially If some person of mark should start the habit. Chef Va- lere Braguehals In Letter to New York Tribune. The Modern Turkish Woman. The modern Turkish woman receives a far better education than many of her western sisters. When the latter Is busy visiting, polng to concerts or even Indulging In sports the oriental within the barred windows of her harem follows these movements in spirit With a knowledge of seven lan gunges, three oriental and four Euro pean, foreign governesses and as many books as she requires little escapes het attention.

Eating Before Retiring and Digestion During Slumber. Diet has little Influence on sleep ex cept In so far as It may produce dis turbances of digestion and through these of tbe general balance of health. Tbe hypnotic effects of certain foods, such as onions, lettuce, milk, etc., are chiefly imaginary. Even the time of the last meal of tbe day Is of relative ly little Importance except that It Is well to let this be at least two or three hours before retiring. But even this rule has many exceptions, as many healthy laboring men habitually fall asleep over their pipes directly after supper, and children after poking tbe spoon Into their little eyes nod off over the tea table, with the bread and but ter still clutched in their chubby fists. Tbe processes of digestion probably go on more slowly during sleep, but they are perfectly carried out, as is il lustrated by the almost Invariable hab it among animals of going to sleep directly after a meal. Indeed, a moderate amount of food In the stomach or Intestines seems to promote slumber. Many night workers, for Instance, sleep much better for tak ing a light or even full supper Just be fore retiring. Dr. Woods Hutchinson In American Magazine.. The Tenors' Parts. Probably the composers are largely responsible for tenor worship. In Ver di's operas, with hardly an exception, the tenor plays a more important part than the baritone or bass, and the same is true of other opera writers, Mozart's "Don Giovanni" being a nota ble exception. Wagner wrote one opera. "The Flying Dutchman," In which the baritone la king, whereas In six of his works tbe supremacy of the tenor Is indicated by the very titles "Rlenzi," Tannhauser." "Lohengrin," "TriBtan und Isolde," "Siegfried," "Parsifal." This being. so, we shall probably continue to be subject to tbe tyranny of one tenor or another, unless It be true, as was maintained at a con clave of French savants, that tbe tenor voice Is a relic of barbarism, destined to become extinct Argonaut Poems, Pictures and Songs. It takes all kinds of people to make np a world and all kinds of poetry to make up a world literature. Despite the efforts of the critics to lay down definite canons of Judgment for the literary, pictorial- and musical arts most of us continue to like a poem, a picture or a song for no better reason than because we like it It appeals to us, and If It does that It Is for us a true poem, picture or song. Whether It Is to be classed among the great products of art Is another question. That depends upon the universality and permanence of the appeal it makes. Current Literature.
