especially when left unchained in the
neighborhood of a crowd, has long
been a subject of comment, and it has
been a serious question whether the
trouble were altogether with the mor

of the umbrella-using public that made

The new, non-losnble umbrella does
not differ essentially from the ordinary

Herein is concealed the working part
of the device. It is a compactly ar-

heard for, say, the length of a street

not to disturb the rain protector to a
stentorian cry ol "Stop, unci, o.

GREAT ARSENIC EATERS.
Australian Women SacrlHc. Health and
Hair on the Altar of Oood CompLilon.
The majority of the female beauties
of Sidney, according to an English ob
server, have peculiarly delicate com
plexions, languid expressions, fragile
physique and a die-away look in the
eves, which are more suited to the en-
'' . . . . nU nltrillvfl..
ervated tempermeni ui nu
tion than the active vitality 01 a new
Wvwu. It was easy even ior a nova
to detect that these ladies owed a good
deal to their perruquier. The mystery
of this curious comV -nation of pre
mature baldness and unusual aencw-j
of complexion was explained py tne
fact that these women ate arocuit ...
order to produce the aristocratic pal
lor and languor, and found to their
horror that another ettect 01 tne aruK
was to make the hair drop out. Valu

however, they sacrmcea we duo ."
other. What a woman will endure for
her complexion may be estimated Dy
this and also by the fact that these
arsenic eaters rarely live past forty
five. There is no pleasure, moreover,
in the consumption of the poisonous
drug. The arsenic is made up into
dainty looking caramels, which fash-
ionable dames will produce from pre
cious little bonbonnieres and suck
quite openly, just as the American girl
chews gum or the English girl choco
late. The arssnic question, English
men say, was becoming quite a burn
ing one in the antipodes. When a man
married a young looking, lovely crea
ture, adorned with luxurious ringlets,
he was disgusted to hnd after tne cere
mony that she was really a semibald,
prematurely enervated woman, who
was shortening her life to please her
own vanity and was incapable of ful
filling the' duties of a mother to debili
tated children whicli she brought into
the world. Moreover, the suffering
which she would go through in any at
tempt to overcome this pernicious habit
was quite enough to mane ner
down, if, indeed, she could be per'
suaded to bear it at all.

.nr. nf the snake, and all the scien
tists tell about reptilian geneaioKy '
partly a matter of conjecture.
Of the many snakes that live in the
water nowadays the major part are
rapid swimmers and are deadly te
handle. Prof. Lucas mentioned one
ealled the platurus, on account of its
hig flat tail, wnicn swims m iiui..
waters. He says it is accounted great
sport to cath it with a hook and line,
but the danger comes when the catch
is hauled in, and the average man is
very shy of that kind of fishing, as one
bite means death right speedily, and
in the most agonizing form.
There is still another explanation of
th. -..riimentarv foot of modern times

There were undoubtedly dragons in the
times' of old, and when the dragons

probable that some of them survived as
snakes, and that the remnants of their

that tempted Eve in the Garden of

A practical joke upon John wasn. , doe8 not crawl, is

of the road is undescrihable. and a

Every reader of north-country lore
and legend, says an English paper, is
familiar with the stories of monstrous
"worms," "dragons," "fiery Hying ser
pents" and the like, whicli are said to
have located themselves in various dis
tricts. Scxhow, under the shadow of

be, long after the bulk of them had
been slain or driven away into the far
north by stronger and better armed
tribes. So the stories 01 tnese vci ni
monsters may not be so foolish as thoy
appear. Take, for instance, the legend
of the HtocKUurn worm. .
the man who slew it is preservcu, aim
is that of a well-known north-country
family. His tomb is pointed out in the
mined church of Stockburn, where
ilso he lay In eftlgy with the "worm"
at his feet until, the sacred edifice fall

moved to Stockburn hall adjacent
There, too, is preserved the falchion or
uvord with which the monster was
slain, anil which was shown to every
fresh bishop of Durham as he entered
his diocese a custom which only
ceased in the days of Van Mildrct, tin
last of the prince bishops. In a field

"worm" coiled itself is still to be seen.

HIS PET PHRASE.
11 Wa. Oood for All Occasion, and Meed
Accordingly.
Tn the "Memoir of Henry Compton,"
published in London some years ago,
there is an amusing story which has an
obvious lesson. Mr. Wntlington was a
man from his birth of an even temper
and an easy disposition. He went
through life with the greatest Indiffer
ence as to its cares and its troubles.
One phrase he used on all occasions:
"It may be so, but then again it may
not."
On paying him a visit one day, says
t,he writer, I asked him if he thought
it would be fine. "Why," replied he,
"it may rain, but then again it may
t
Seeing him reading: "Daniels' rieia
Sports," I inquired if he ever went on
a hunting excursion.
"Why, yes," said he, "I did go once
on a bit of a jaunt of the sort, but I
made a sorry set out of it. I borrowed
n fT of n. frier'', p"'1 ""t"'1 'nr a
day's pleasure, as I thought; but the
horse was a stranger to me, and so,
not having received a regular intro
duction to him, as Boon as tne ennse
begun, off he set at full speed, with
me inside the gig.
"I began to be alarmed. Thinks I,
'There's danger here; T may go a little
farther without being turned over, but
then again I may not.' Well, away he
tore, over furrow and field, leaping
every ditch and bank that came in his
way. Presently I saw we were Hear
ing a horse-pond, and 1 began to say
to myself: 'l may get past this pond
without being dropped in the middle
of it, but then again I may not.'
''However, after running a tremen
dous risk, I escaped a broken neck that
time, and after getting pretty safely
through the remaining part of the
chase, says I to myself, says 1: 'Well, I
may be tempted to goa-hunting again,
but then again, I may not!'"
A 1100 killed at Scio, Ore., was found
to have two perfect stomachs and two
complete sets of intestines. The owner
never noticed anything unusual about
the animal when it was alive except
that it had a wonderful appetite.
A non-venomous South African snake
(dasypeltis. scabra) lives entirely on
bird's eggs. Each egg 1b swallowed
whole, and by a muscular contraction
of the gullet its contents flow into the
stomach, while the shell is rejected by
the mouth in the form of a pellet.

We always speak of the lines and
spotB on the moon's surface as "The
man in the moon," but it seems that
others have entertained a different
opinion. Bishop Wilkins says: "In
some countries the figures on the moon
are supposed to be two lions in deadly
combat; in most Oriental countries the
picture Is thought to be that of a single
lion. Others will only have it to be
the picture of a man's face, as the moon
is represented. Albertus thinks that
it shows the picture of a lion with his
face toward the west and his tail to
ward the east. It is as much like a
lion as that in the Zodiac, or as Ursa
Malor is like a bear."
