The fruit was handed to us. politely peeled by the Arab dealer, and thus as .we made acquaintance with its de- lightful coolness no suspicion of its evil qualities entered our minds. Our silk gloves, transformed sudden- ly into miniature robes of Nessus, had to be thrown away, perfectly unwear- able, and the inadvertent use of our pocket handkerchiefs before We had fully realized the extent or our misfor- tune caused fresh agonies, in which nose as well as lips participated. For many a day did the retribution of that theft haunt us in the form of myriads of tiny stingsâ€"“Home Life on an Os- trich Farm.” A few days later. adding the excite- ment of a little trespassing to the more legitimate pleasures of a country ramble, we came upon a well laden group of prickly pear bushes and could not resist the temptation to help our- selves to some of the fruit. The result was woeful. Concentrated essence of stinging net- tie seemed all at once to be assaiiing hands, lips and tongue, and our skin, wherever it had come in contact with the ill natured fruit, was covered with a thick crop of minute, bristiy hairs, apparently growing from it, and ven- omous and irritating to the last degree. The Invention of the Piano. The honor of lnvehting the piano is claimed by the English, the French and the Germans. Father Wood, an Eng- lish monk at Rome, is said to have been the real inventor in 1711 and to have manufactured one, which he sold to Samuel Crispi, the author of “Vir- ginia,” from whom it was purchased by Falke Greville, though Count Carii claims the credit for Barthoiemmeo Christitoric of Padua during his stay in Florence some three years later (1714). The French attribute the in- vention to a Parisian named Marius, who, they alleged, produced in 1716 a harpsichord in which hammers had been substituted for the old plectrums or quills. The Germans are the last in the field with J. C. Schroder of Dres- den, who claimed (1717), when eighteen years of age, to have “constructed aft- er much consideration the model of a new clavier with hammers, upon which he could play loudly or softly.” The Most Remarkable Suicide. The mbst curious suicide in the an- nals of self destruction occurred at Chi- quete, N. B., in the spring of 1890. Be- fore committing the deed the self mur- derer, who was named W. R. T. Jones, dug his own grave and placed a rough coffin of his own handiwork at the bot- tom. The dirt from the opening was kept from rolling back into the excava- tion by boards held in place by a trig- ger to which a string was attached. Everything in readiness, the deliberate Mr. Jones, as subsequent developments revealed, got in the coffin. tool; a dose of poison and then pulled the string, burying himself beneath tons of earth. This has been put down as one of the most unique and successful cases of self destruction on record. see Where “one Dentlnlen Are Stunned.

The-o Wild nor-e. Are Vicious and Said to Be Untumbie. Writing of the kiangs, or wild horses, of India, found near the land of Tibet, Thomas W. Weber in “The Forests of Upper India and Their Inhabitants" v-vw' â€" Here for the first time we saw the klang, or wild horse. Several herds came to look at us as we marched and galloped around, neighing and kicking up, but kept at a respectful distance. They have big, ugly heads and tails and ears like a mule’s and a black stripe down the back; color, light bay, with white noses. They have tine free action in trot and gallop and are four- V.- -â€" uâ€"v- wâ€" teen to fifteen hands high, strong in the legs and heavy in the body. We were welcomed by the neighlng of nu- merous wild horses to the land of the about our camp in a most objectiona- ble way, making the most fearful dis- turbances. We witnessed a battle roy- al between two stallions, which for ferocity and wicked fury surpassed any fight I have seen. Again and again the pair went at one another like ti- gers, biting and kicking and mauling, the blood flowing freely, while the fear- ful yells and roars they kept up were terrifying to hear. This went on for hours. The horrible roars and shriek- ings made by the wild horse when fighting sound something like a noise between a donkey’s bray and the squealing of a jackal, but far more ear piercing and discordant. Here the kiang is found in considerable num- bers. lie is, according to the Hunia accounts, nntamable. There was a young one purchased at Bagesar fair from some Hunias for a small price. The purchaser thought he had a good bargain and proposed to send the ani- mal to England, but when his men went to bring away the purchase no power could induce it to leave its fos- ter mother, an old Ahbet pony, which the clever Hunias refused to sell ex- cept for an exorbitant sum. u'-v-- v --â€" â€"_ ki'ang. Several herds kept circling round, the old stallions approaching in a quite threatening manner, snorting, squealing and kicking up their heels, while the mares and foals galloped 01! at a more respectful distance. There was a herd of kiangs which careered The Old Violin Maker. and the hint.- riul They Used. The great violin makers all lived Within the eompa ss of 150 years. They chose their wood from a few great tim- bers felled in the south 'l‘yrol and floated down in raftsâ€"pine and maple, sycamore, pear and ash. A They ex- amined these to find st1eaks and wins and frmldes, valuable superficially when brought out by varnishing. They learned to tell the dynasty of the pieces of wood by touching them. They weighed them, they struck them and listened to judge how fast or how slow or how resonantly they would vibrate in answer to strings. Some portions of the wood must be. porous and soft, some close of fiber. Just the right beam was hard to find. \Vhen funnd. it run be traced all through the violins of some great master and after his death in mine ut‘ his pupils. The pieee of wood was taken home and Sit":l.\‘ntl(‘(l, dried in the hot llreseia and (‘rennima sun. The house of Strad- ivarius, the great master of all. is de- svrihed as having been as hot as an oven. The wood was there soaked through and through with sunshine. In this great h mt the oils thinned and simmered slowly and penetrated far into the wood until the varnish became a part of the. wood itself. The old violin nmkers used to save every hit of the wood when they found what they liked to mend and patch and inlay with it. So vilvant and so reso- nant is the wood of good old violins that they murmur and echo and sing in answer to any Wind where a number of them hang together on the wall, as if rehearsing the old music that they once knew.

A list of great cities burned would be a list of nearly all the great capitals or E the world. Persepolis, the splendid res- ‘ idence of a long series of rulers whose E tributary provinces extended from the % Indus to the Hellespont, was burned. E with all its palaces and temples; Baby ion and Carthage were so utterly de- stroyed that their very location has be- come a matter of doubt. Rome was burned eight times. Jerusalem four 1 times, and. though they rose from their ashes, The second temple is not like the first. Athens. Syracuse. Bagdad.

The ”Phoenicians like the Spartans and As- syrians, disappeared \\ 1th the min of . their capitals, but the most fateful eon- ' flagration recorded in the history of E the world is perhaps that of Moscow. “They talk as if the fate of Europe had been decided at Waterloo,” says De Bourienne in his memoirs of the first empire. “If Napoleon had beaten Wellington and Blucher a dozen times. it could not have retrieved the reverses of the three preceding years. The truth is that the French Caesar and his for. tune were ruined by the burning of Moscow. That city was the funeral pile of the great nation.” Mun More Liquid Than Solid. Every fiber and every cell that enters into the formation of a living body is bathed in moisture. by which means alone these ultimate elements are kept alive and are enabled to carry out their duties. Even the bones. which appear to be the most solid of all. owe more than half their weight to the presence of fluid. That our bodies contain a large amount of fluid is proved in a striking manner by the blisters which rise after the infliction of a burn. Water, in fact, plays a very impor- tant part in the human anatomy, for it is through its agency that the vital processes of digestion, absorption and the excretion of waste products are carried out. Wanted a Chinese 8011'. Most of the policemen in Australia are Irishmen. whose genius for humor- ous blundcring loses nothing of its qual- ity under the Southern Cross. Here is an instance: Many Chinese names are reminiscent of a burlesque and are probably merely barbarian caricatures of the originals. Of these Fong Fat Ah Su and Ah Foo are the most com- [1101]. To reduce the whole matter to figures and taking 15-1 pounds to be the total weight of an average full grown man, it is said that water alone accounts for 109 pounds of the whole. A newly appointed crier in a county court was ordered by the judge in a case in which a Chinese was witness to call for Ah Song. The son of Erin looked puzzled and darted a look at the bench to try to discover if this was a colonial joke; but. seeing the judge as grave as an undertaker. he turned to the audience and hlandly in- quired, “Gintlemen. xx iii any of you fa- \or his honor with a song?"

The stems of grass and oats are usu- ally hollow, and the knots of nodes which occur at inler'als and which have a peculiar degree of firmness, de- rived from the interlacing of fibers. give them a firmness and strength which they would otherwise lack. It the material of wheat straw were in a solid form. it Would make but a thin wiry stem, “'lllt‘ll would snap with great ease, but in the hollow form, with the intervening knots, the neces- sary support is afforded.
