Strange Creations ol Old-Time Wizards and Ma;clnn. cpon me auuiority ol several pas sages in history we are lead to believe that famous wizard!;, magicians unci astrologers iavo constructed not less than six brazen, human-shaped heads that possessed all the faculties of speech. The first of these was thu work of Monk (ierliert, who itfti ruard be came pope with the title of Sylvester II. The head is said lo have predicted that (ierhert would he pope, and that he would not die until he had said mass in Jerusalem. After the first part of the propheey had been fulfilled and he had plaeed the papal tiara upon his head he resolved to live forever by steering clear of Jerusalem. While saying mass one day in a small eliuivh in a suburb of Home Sylvester was taken with a sudden rigor. Knowing that his end was near, he asked the reetor if the church had any special name. Jieing informed that it was popularly called "Jerusalem" he closed his eyes and died witlun an hour. The second "brazen speaking head" was made by one Kobert (irosseteste, an Italian bishop who resided in Kng land between the years 1 175 nnd 1'J-JS. The third is said to have been the re sult of thirty years' labor on the part of the astrolc ger, Albertus IWagnus, who was boru in the year VMKi. Friar Ilacon, who died in lli!M, isgiven the credit of having made a head of brass which constantly repeated the words: "Time comes, time's here, lime's past." The marquis of Vilcna l.'!S4 lllll also made a speaking head of sheet brass. A Polish disciple of Es cotello made the sixth and last men tioned of the famous "talking heads o) brass." PLAYING INDIAN. The Terrible Mistake or a NovoI-HouiIIiir 4'RHhboy. ' A laughable incident growing out of the fondness of the average small boy for "blood and thunder" literature is told as happening in Cincinnati. The Times-Star says that one of the city's merchant princes employs a large num ber of boys, who are compelled to eat their lunch in the basement of the establishment. At this time, too, they were in the habit of playing "Texas Jack," Indians, etc., inspired to this, no doubt, by the perusing of dime novels. One day the proprietor had occasion to visit the lunchroom during the dinner hour, and, unconscious of anything, was making his way through a dinilv lighted part of the, room, when he was suddenly seized from behind. Ileing a small man, he could do nothing with his assailant, who, prodding him in the ribs with a wooden bowie knife, hissed in his ear: "I have sworn to avenge the wrong you did me, so die: die like a dog. and thank your lucky stars that you are not killed more." Thinking him self in the hands of a mailmnn the pro prietor, with a strenuous otto-t, re leased himself and turned to Mee, when, catching a glimpse of his would-be mur derer ('.'), saw it was one of his cash boys, who, on seeing his terrible mis take, tried lo stammer an apologv, ex pecting to be dismissed on the spot. The proprietor, however, only gave him n lecture, and advised him lo refrain from reading blood-curdling literature. There is no more Indian playing in the establishment. Nature's lliindiwoi-li. The processes by which nature forms accumulations of silver arc very inter esting. It must, be remembered that the earth's crust is lull of water, which percolates everywhere through the rocks, making solutions of elements ob tained from them. These chemical so lutions take up small particles of the precious metal w hich they find scattered here and there. Sometimes the solu tions in question are hot, the water hav ing got so far down as to beset a boiling by the internal heat of the globe. Then they rush upward, picking up the bits of metal as they go. Naturally, heat ussists the performance of this operation. Now and then the streams thus formed, perpetually (lowing hither and thither below ground, pass through cracks or cavities in the rocks, where they de posit their loads of silver. This is' kept up for a great length of time, perhaps thousands of years, until the fissure or pocket is tilled up. Cranuics permeat ing the stony mass in every direction may become filled with the metal, or occasionally a chamber may be stored full of it, as if a myriad liamN were fetching the treasure from all sides and hiding away a future bonanza for some lucky prospector to discover in another The lllst'overy of Tea. ' llywhomor when the virtues of tea as a beverage were discovered is "lost in the wide revolving shades of cen turies passed." The famous herb is spoken of in Chinese annals as far back as S,r.iio years II. ('., at which time its cultivation and classification was us much of an art as it is to-day. Tradition says that its virtues were discovered bv accident. King Shen Nung She, "The Div ine Husbandman," wdio llourished forty centuries ago, was boiling water over a lire one evening when some tea leaves hanging over the vessel were hxwened by the heat and fell into the steaming lluid. Nung she partook ol the decoction while is was hot, "and felt himself renewed in limb and sight for seven days thereafter." Then and there he consecrated tea as the sucred beverage of China.

A Dog Has a Difficulty with a Gander and Comes Out Second llest. A bit of meat cast on the lake in one of the parks of Allegheny City recently gave a forcible illustration of the re nowned pugilistic qualities of the genus Anser. The scrap was tossed to an old gray gander,sailing and dipping nia jestically back and forth, with his harem at a safe and respectful distance behind him. Just as he made a graceful dive forward a stray dog, of hungry aspect and venturesome turn of mind, made for the meat also. The gander paused, astonishment written in every line of his craned neck and extended wings. The dog friskily brought up at the water's edge and reached out a paw. The coveted morsel was midway be tween him and the gander. Quick as thought the gander slapped the water with his wings beating the scrap be low the surface and diving after it. Somehow he miscalculated, and when he came up the morsel was dancing a few feet awav. The dog, says the Pittsburgh Times, was softly dimpling the water with his paw. At every wave the scrap came nearer to him. The harem drew closer around its lord, and the oldest in the flock gave a few words of advice to him. She received a sound slap withawing,apparently a command to mind her own business. Just as the dog reached out for the meat the gan der gave a lunge also. Hill and paw both missed it. It disappeared, only to rise tantalizingly a few feet away. The dog was no longer hilarious. This was too serious business, and he ran up and down the shore, bark angri ly, while the gander retired to wreak vengeance on his hapless harem. A moment later, seeing the scrap almost ashore on the waves of the conflict, he made a sudden dash. So (lid the dog. They met, and for a few seconds gray wings, dog hair and wild screams of purp and gander tilled the air. Then the' dog trotted slowly away with a face full of religious fervor turned toward the theological seminary, while the gander, wiping the sweat of vic tory from his brow, carried the scrap, for which he seemed to have lost his appetite, to his proud family.

In modern cables the core is always protected first by a serving of hemp or jute and then by an outer sheath of soft steel wires, which are relied on to fur nish the mechanical strength which the -able must have in order that it may stand the pulling about which it re ceives in laying and repairing.

Sydney, Australia, has a remarkably fine harbor, and the people are proud of it. Ko stranger can visit the place without being asked, again and agaiu: "What do you think of our beautiful harKir'.'" This quest ion, repeated tx: often, is liable to become a source of amusement, if not of annoyance. The author of "Homeward Hound" relates that an irate skipper, with the recollec tion of previous visits to the city in his mind, once sailed up the bay with a huge placard rigged at the bow of his craft: "We have admired your beauti ful harbor."

( Iradnally the work neared completion and its success seemed as- sured. Alas! one day, just as die 'was pntting on the finishing touches, the well caved in, and the labor for week:- came to naught, l'or a few moments Farmer lleagle beat his breast and tore his hair in mute despair. Then he had an inspiration, lie too!; off his coat and hat and earcfull.v laid them on the brink of the ruined well. Then he se- creted himself under a t'ei"-liborintr h-iv- stack anil awaited developments. Soon a neighbor passed the place and went to tlic well to inspect it. 1 lo discovered its precarious condition, and, seeing Ileaglc's coat and hat near by, natur ally concluded that the unfortunate man had been engulfed in the ruin and was now lying at the bottom of his well. Impelled by a feeling of human ity, he ran to the noighlxiring farm houses and gave the alarm. The newa spread like a Hash, and before long a vast concourse of farmers had congrega ted around the spot. W ith picks and spades they dug away at the well until they had it completely excavated. It was a long and laborious piece of work, but sympathy for the unfortunate man and an earnest desire to rescue him lent strength to the laborers. At length the task was completed and the well dug out. There was no vestigo of lleagle. After searching for him in vain the tired workers went homo. Then lleagle emerged from his hiding place, thankful that human sympathy had not entirely died out from the faw of Uio earth. Now Try Tills.

Experience Him Led to the Proper leotlon of Food by the Inhabi tant of DlfiVreut TarU of the ilobe. much fat. In India the element of fat is derived from a peculiar kind of but- gen. Macaroni and cheese with salad is substantially a complete food. Passing over to Switzerland we again find cheese furnishing that which is the most important and the most expensive in every dietary, the nitrogenous por- tion. In France more meat is eaten, but t - stock ot or Dot au feu. every element of meat and vegetation, including remnants of bread and every- thing that contains nutrition, is con- vprteil nrpr into a nearlvenmnletp fnnd. to wbieb tbeenst.nmorv salad and bread Berve as a remainder. In England the relative scarcity of meat is made up by the abundant con- sumption of cheese, bread and cheese serving as the mainstay of the working aiioe in money people, the cheese supplying the de a:nl he binds ficiency of the wheat in protein. In e opium agent Scotland oatmeal is the mainstav. and in the grain of the oat is to be found a food more nearly corresponding to the requirements of complete nutrition than in MIT other sino-le vnrietv of fond which is known to exist. The Irish, subsisting from choice or from necessity so much upon potatoes, are a people of relatively low vitality, not tenacious of life, and as a rule, not long lived ex cept when removed to other regions where they can secure more complete nutrition. In the northern nations of Europe fish and rye bread together form cheap and complete basis for nutrition; the fish consisting of herring, which supplies a very large amount of fat, or of salmon or of some other varieties. Crossing the ocean, in New England we find in the baked beans and brown bread made from the maize meal, a ra tion at low cost which is very complete in its proportions of energy. Passing into Canada we come to an entirely different dish, pease porridge, made into a combination with coarse crackers and a bit of pork, furnishing a strong and complete ration at almost the minimum of cost. Again, moving to the southern states, the customary ration of the colored man, which he chooses in preference to almost any other kind of food, consists of three and one-half pounds of bacon and a peck of maize meal per week, to which are added a few vegetables from the field, making perhaps the cheapest ration at the least cost in ratio to the force it contains than can be found any where. In Mexico the "tortilla," or bean, furnishes the nitrogen in connec tion with a diet of other materials, very ueager at the best. Necessity has probably been the teacher in each case; the experience of many generations has probably led to the final selection, and the habit of ,eeameT "P""1 these enforced rations has developed an inherited appetite for them which in many instances has be- 001,16 80 strong that a change toadif- erent diet even as wel1 balanced as those named, leads for the time being to indigestion and to disease.
