Think for a moment of the narrow
limits of our knowledge! Sixteen hun
dred millions of featnerless bipeds,
more or less, are picking up a living,
eating and drinking, marrying and giv
ing in marriage, on this pretty planet
of ours; of what Infinitesimal proper
Uon can you really unveil the secrets
and gauge the virtues and the happi
ness How many people do you know
Intimately enough to say whether tlieii
lot is, on the whole, enviable or the
reverse? Every human being Is a for
eign kingdom to every other. We make
a short excursion into their minds; we
touch at a port here and there; and we
lay glibly that we know then intimate
ly. We know not how many dark cor
tiers are carefully hidden away from
all strangers, and what vast provinces'
have never been reached In our mosl
daring travels, now, then, can we
fudge one another? Such utter Ignor

motives should make us wondrous
charitable.
A Heart Story.
Folsom, S. Dak. In these days
when so many sudden deaths are re
ported from Heart Failure and various
forms of Heart Disease, it will be good
news to many to learn that there is a
never failing remedy for every form of
Heart Trouble.
Mrs. H. D. Hyde, of this place, was
troubled for years with a pain in her
heart which distressed her a great deal.
She had tried many remedies but had
not succeeded in finding anything that
would help her until at last she began
a treatment of Dodd's Kidney Pills and
this very soon relieved her and she has
not had a single pain or any distress in
the region of the heart since. She
says: "I cannot say too much in
praise of Dodd's Kidney Pil's. They
are the greatest heart medicine I have
ever used. I was troubled for over
three years witbS a severe pain in my
heart, which entirely disappeared after
a short treatment of Dodd's Kidney
-Pills."
Latest Electrical Novelty.
Down near Atlantic City, N. J,
there has been in successful operation
for- several months an. experimental
trolley road minus the trolley. More
astonishment still there is no third
rail or storage battery to be seen on
this unique bit of road. Without any
apparent means of obtaining the all
Important electric current, motor cars
will draw a 200,000-pound load on this
road. Of course, the secret of it all
lies in the application of a new sys
tem. Every sixteen feet a point of
connection is established midway be
tween the rails where a metal button
projects above, a box through which
passes the powerful current carried
along wires in a subway. A person
might step on this button and one of
the rails at the same time and not
receive a shock, but, as the car passes
over, a powerful magnet underneath
attracts the button and in raising It
establishes the circuit which supplies
the motor with enough of the essential
fluid to propel the car along the six
teen feet of track to another point of
contact The saving of expenses in
Installation and maintenance over
that of the old systems, the freedom
from overhead wires which so seri
ously Interfere with the fighting of
fires in the cities, and the immunity
from fatal shocks which it insures are
factors .which will no doubt bring
about its raold adoption.

It is reported from Johannesburg
that a new and unexpected source of
wealth has been discovered In the ter
ritory of the late Boer republic. Near
the eastern border of the Transvaal, on
the edge of the lofty South African
plateau, three valuable lodes of tin ore
have been found, and the deposits are
apparently so extensive that predic
tions are heard that the new colony
may prove to be as rich In tin and
copper as it is already known to be In
gold.
The human body changes its tem
perature very slightly under any con
ditions of heat or cold, but a Russian
naturalist finds that the body tempera
ture of Insects Is practically that of the
atmosphere. It usually rises more
slowly than the air, though more rap
Idly when the air is very moist When
the Insect begins to move, the temper
ature rises rapidly, and may reach
about SS degrees C. (102.2 degrees F.)
Below 0.5 degrees C. insects remain
motionless, and tbe wings are not
moved until the temperature reaches
about 12 degrees C.
The latest new form of dirigible bal
loon. Invented by L. J. Andersen, of
London, has two elongated gas-bags
of the same shape and size placed side
by side, like the two hulls of a cata
maran boat The car is suspended
beneath, being equally supported by
both balloons, and the driving pro
peller is placed behind their rear ends,
and half-way between them. In expe
rimenting with a model having bal
loons seven feet long, the Inventor
finds that this form of air-ship pos
sesses advantages in steering and in
maintaining a straight cojnrse. He is
constructing a full-sized apparatus
with balloons 70 feet long, to be driven
bj a 50-horse-power electrlct motor.
After forty years of agitation, led
by Liverpool merchants, the British
government has just sanctioned the
use of a weight of fiftj pounds in
place of the standard "hundredweight"
(112 pounds), and "half-hundredweight"
(fifty-six pounds). The re
form was demanded because the im
mense quantities of cotton, corn, to
bacco and other American products
landed at Liverpool were calculated by
the sellers in pounds, while the buyers
were compelled to reckon In "hundred
weights," which did not represent the
number of pounds that the name im
plies. It is claimed that the reform
will save a great amount of time and
labor and prevent many errors. It is
also regarded as an entering wedge
for the Introduction of the decimal
system in England.
QUEER USES FOR CEILINGS.
Hen Have Employed Them as Substi
tutes for Savings Banks.
Some time since a Liverpool gentle
man died, as it was thought Intestate.
No will could be found, and the next
of kin had already entered Into pos
session when the decorators, in whose
nanus the deceased's old house had
been placed for renovation, came
across the long-sought-for document
pasted on the library ceiling, where it
had been hidden from view by a layer
of paper, which had been placed there
by the eccentric testator himself.
The celebrated Beau Brummel, dur
ing the first years of his exile, while
yet his fame as a dandy was pre
eminent had the celling of his bed
room covered with mirrors, so that
even while at rest he could study ele
gance and assume a graceful pose. For
such a purpose a glass celling is, how
ever, not unique, and the notorious
duchess of Cleveland had such anoth
er constructed to gratify her vanity.
For a far different reason did a cer
tain Yorkshire gentleman of the last
century, mentioned by Mrs. Gaskell in
her "Life of Charlotte Bronte," have
hlf celling paneled with mirrors. Ar
dently devoted to the sport of cock-
fighting, be continued to the last to
enjoy his favorite pastime, and even
when on his deathbed his room was
the scene of many an exciting fight,
which, lying on his back, he saw re
flected In the glass overhead.
Another invalid whose tastes were
certainly more aesthetic was a gentle
man who died lately at Munich. Con
fined for many months to his bed, he
gratified his love for art by having his
celling papered and covered with his
most treasured pictures, which he in
his younger days had acquired. These
were changed from time to time for
others in his collection, which in their
turn were contemplated with delight
by the crippled connoisseur as he lay
stretched on his couch of pain.
During a police case heard a year
back at Tottenham the prosecutrix told
the magistrate that she had taken the

torted the other, "and that Is marked

converting a ceiling into a rent book
evoked a roar of laughter in court

HOW ZOOS GET WILD ANIMALS.
Bait Used by Recruiting- Agent and
Traveler.
Getting recruits for the soologica
parks is not by any means the easiest
thing In the world, though the author!
ties themselves do not bear much ol
the trouble In this connection. Tht
work Is mainly done by travelers and
natives of countries from which the
wild beasts come, from whom the varl
ous zoological societies of the world
buy, except when the purchases are
made from professional wild-beast
dealers.
Some of the latter employ regular re
cruitlng agents, whom they send out
whenever they receive orders which
they cannot execute with stock thej
have In hand. If the park authorities
1 order an African Hon of, a dealer and
the dealer has not a suitable beast on
hand recruiting Hons In Africa begin?
at once and continues until a good
specimen has been obtained.
The different methods by which the
various wild animals are captured iu
their native state are interesting. Lion
are generally caught by being tempted
to thrust their heads through nooses ot
strong cords composed of twisted
hides. Pieces of meat are used for
bait but frequently the hunters have
many days of hard chasing before the
Hon can be persuaded to try the noose.
When he does the cords are pulled
quickly around his throat, stifling him
and other stout cords are then bound
around hU legs. Restoratives are then
administered to revive the animal,
whose efforts to free himself from the
noose have brought on exhaustion, and
he is carried away and put in a special
ly constructed cage for shipment
Tigers are more savage than lions
and can rarely be captured when full
grown. Recruiting Is accordingly car
ried on among the cubs, the parent
tigers being killed and the young, left
without protectors, being easily caught
The cubs readily accustom themselves
to captivity.
Perhaps the most difficult of all wild
an'mals to capture is tbe giraffe, say
the New York Times. In addition tc
being very rare, giraffes are exceeding
ly timid and are very swift-footed.
There is no special way to capture a
giraffe, as almost every way has been
tried, and all have been almost equally
unsuccessful. The method which has
occasionally resulted in a capture Is by
using a long cord, at each end of which
Is a round weight .This cord Is thrown
by the hunter In such a manner as tc
wind around the animal's legs, either
bringing It to the ground or rendering
it incapable of escaping before it Is
made a prisoner. Most of the giraffes
in captivity have been caught by
chance when young.
A House Divided.
Most persons have had the experi
ence of walking with a friend out of
step and trying to shift Just at the
moment when the friend also makes
the attempt This is an instance of
thwarted harmony much 4lke that
which appears In a story, told by V. C,
of an elderly couple. They were child
less, and had never been united by the
bond of other lives linked with their
own. So they were always in a state
of well-bred disagreement
On the subject of meals they dis
agreed thoroughly, and each usually
suggested a dish for the Sunday dinner
which the other did not approve. One
Saturday the man came home from
market with a basket.
"You needn't worry about to-morrow's
dinner any more, Maria. I've
got it"
"And so have I, jGeorge. You were
so undecided "
"Undecided? I told you want I
wanted."
"Well, I mean you didn't decide as
I did. So I bought a goose."
"Why, so have I. I told you I'd like
a gooso."
' "Well, now we are agreed for once,
anyway."
"Yes, and I suppose we'll have cold
goose and stewed goose for the next
two weeks."
They relapsed Into their usual si
lence. Sunday forenoon the wife asked, "Do
you want a little quince In the apple
sauce with your goose?"
"Your goose, you mean."
"No ,1 don't. It seemed so absurd
to have two geese in the house that I
sent mine to Aunt Jane."
"What! I sent mine to Uncle Joe!"

8TORY Or THE MUFF.
Once. Its Color Itctokened the Rank ol
the Wearer,
"Do you know that the color of a
muff one betokened the rank of the
wearer i" tatd a furrier to a riilludel.
Ihta Record man aa he stroked a beau
ttful aealsklu muff. "In the tiny a of
Charles IX. no lad could have worn
tlila fur, for black was decreed by the
King to be the tmdtftt of the couuuou
people and the court follower were
restricted to the color.
"Muff have gone through more
styles than It would aeem possible to
Invent for such a simple article of con
venience. It has boeu long and nar
row, like a sheaf, ami, agntn, Urge
and round. At the beginning of last
ct ntury the test of slse was to try the
muff In a flour barrel. If It went In
without much trouble then that muff
was too small to be tcnlly fastttouablo.
At the present day almost anything Is
proper, but those enormous cylinders
would certainly 'draw much attention.
One ofvthe most curious styles was
that of I.oula XIV., called the 'chleus
mauchons,' because they were made to
convey little dogs In.
"The muff when first Introduced was
the exclusive property of the uoblltty
and originated In Venice. Thee muff
were Tory small and consisted of a
single piece of velvet, brocade or silk,
lined, 'with fur and the openings fas
tened with rich Jewel. Such arrange
ments came In during the early part
of the seventeenth century, but In the
previous century tlie ladles frequent'y
carried a piece of rich fur, which they
used either as a muff or a neck piece.
"The muff reached its highest point
In the reign of T.ouls XV., when the
productions were exquisite. Then
fushlon declared for a cloth muff In
stead of fur, and the furriers made a
great uproar. They petitioned the Tope
to excommunicate the wearer of a
cloth muff, but to no purpose. Finally
some Ingenious merchant bribed the
headsman to carry a cloth muff on
execution day. The women shrank
from such association and the fur won
the day. We now associate the muff
only with cold weather, but In the old
days It was a rogntar part of woman
dress and was carried In all weather.
As late as 1S30 a muff and a straw
bonnet were not deemed Incongruous."
Savage Athletes.
In this age of athletics one might
think that no people ever showed so
much Interest In feats of muscular
might aud skill as those who have per
fected football; but modern games, and
even tbe games of the Greeks at Olym
pia. may have been more than match
ed by the sports of peoples who are
now bold In little esteem. A writer
on tbe Canary Islands gives an account
of their athletic training which makes
even the college giants of to-day seem
weak and effeminate.
The Cannry Islands were subjected
by Spain about the time Columbus dis
covered America. The conquest was
due solely to the superiority of Euro
pean weapons, and not to better skill
and prowess. The native soldiers were
trained athletes, developed under a
system which held athletic sports an
Important business, like military drill.
Spanish chronicles have left us ac
counts of the sports of the islanders.
From babyhood they were trained to
be brisk In self-defense. As soon as
they could toddle the children were
pelted with mud balls, that they might
learn how to protect themselves. When
they were boys stones and wooden
darts were substituted for the bits of
clay.
In this rough school they acquired
the rudiments of warfare which en
abled them, during their wars with
the Spaniards, to catch In their hands
trie arrows shot from thelx enemies'
cross-bows.
After the conquest of the Canaries
a native of tbe Islands was seen at
Seville who, for a shilling, let a man
throw at him as many stones as he
pleased from a distance of eight paces.
Without moving his left foot he avoid
ed every stona.
Another native used to defy any one
to hurl an orange at him with so great
rapidity that be could not catch it
Three men tried this, each with a
dozen oranges, and the Islander caught
every orange. As a further test, he
hit his antagonists with each of tbe
oranges.
Fishhook Cactus.
Many a traveler in desert lands,
when in danger of dying from thirst,
has been saved by the plant known as
the water or fishhook cactus, says the
New York Commercial. During the
moist season it stores up a large quan
tity of water for the subsequent dry
one, when all the ground Is parched
with beat and only channels filled with
stones mark the course of former rivu
lets. So well has this cactus provided
for the safety of Its precious liquid
that It Is no easy task to obtain It
The exterior skin Is more Impenetra
ble than the toughest leather, and, be
sides, It is protected with long, wiry
spine curved Into books at the end,
yet so strong and springy that If a
large rock be thrown against them
they remain uninjured. If the spines
be burned off one may, by long and
tedious effort, cut through the rind
wku a stout knife; otherwise nothing
but an axe will enable them to get at
the Interior of this well-armored plant
When the top Is removed and a hol
low made by scooping out some of the
soft Inner part It Immediately fills with
water, cool and refreshing, though a
blistering sun may have been beating
upon tbe tough skin above It all day.
Tbe water, when first obtained, has a
whitish or smoky tint, but when set
