Thrive Without Sunshine. The doctrine that sunshine is neces- sarily helpful and beneficial to the health is not always true. The Turk- ish men and women upset this theory completely. Across every window in a Turkish home are lattices to keep out curiosity and sunlight. The Turkish women get as little sunlight outside of their homes as they do inside. He Got the Apples. “Once upon a time." begun the teach- er. “two little brothers started to Sun- day school one Sunday morning. Their way led past a tine orchard. where the trees were bending down with ripe. luscious apples. One of the broth- ers proposed going into the orchard and getting some fruit, but the other refused and sped away, leaving his companion greedily devouring the ap- ples. At the age of twelve the Moslem woman takes the veil and she is never seen without it. The only chance she gets to let the wind blow on her face is when she is seated in the court- yard and within the walls of her own home. Horses on the Simplon Pass. The horses of the Simplon post diligenceâ€"the coach which carries mail and passengers to the villages on the Simplon pass between Italy and Swit- zerland-are particularly well cared for. The road to the top is a steady pull of fifteen miles over a macadam- ized track. The horses are driven at a fast walk. Five miles up they are watered. At the ten mile station they are fed about a peel: of black bread (rye or barley) cut into mouthfuls; this makes a light lunch. sustaining but not as difficult of digestion as oats. At the top of the pass. at noon. the horses are given an hour and a half to rest and are well fed and watered. The return trip of fifteen miles is made with a brake on the wheels-'rnost of the way. so that the horses trot freely and without the strain of holding back.- Our Dumb Animals. In spite of the fact that the men and women get so little exercise and fresh air they are strapping big and hardy peome. Few Americans can match them in physique or powers of en- durance-St. Louis Republic. “Now, it happened that the owner of the orchard saw them. and the next day rewarded the good boy who re- fused to steal his apples by giving him a shilling. He got a prize for his hon. esty. and what do you suppose the oth- er boy got for his dishonesty?” “He got the apples!” yelled every“ member of the classâ€"Exchange. Gallipoli. Gallipoli is the door through which in 1358 the Turks first entered into their European possessions. And the entrance came about in a surprising manner. In that year an earthquake shattered all the cities of Thrace and overthrew the walls of Gallipoli. The inhabitants fled, while the Turks, for whom earthquakes had no terror, cross- ed the Hellespont and marched upon the deserted city. Emperor Cantacu- zenus protested, but Sultan Orkhan calmly replied that “Providence had opened a way to his troops, and he could not disreganl so clear an indica- tion of divine interposition.” Thus was taken the first plunge that kept the near east bathed in blood for centuries. -â€"London Standard. Cornmeal For the Feet. Men as well as women are finding cornmeal very beneficial to aching and sore feet.

Some species hide on the under surface of leaves. others on the stems or blades of grass. which serve them as food: others. again. build little nests for concealment or lie snugly hidden between the curled edges of leaves. which they draw close together until the opposite edges meet. The cat- erpillar is a sociable creature in his own family. He knows that there is safety in numbers. and you will find whole companies feeding side by side while keeping a sharp lookout for their bird enemies. but when a cater- pillar is by himself he scarcely dares to more for fear of attracting atten- tion. Even when he is obliged to change his skin he doesn‘t venture to leave his old coat lying around. The moment that he takes it 03’ he eats it. The caterpillars that live in companies shed their skin boldly. Only the poor solitary fellows feel forced to swallow their old clothesâ€"London Mail. When the Spanish Admiral Oquendo declined to come out of the shallow waters of Goodwin sands to fight be because he had no powder Van Tramp said, ”I have powder enough for both. I will give him half mine." The result justified the caution of Oquendo for when the two fleets did meet the Spaniards were so terribly beaten by the Dutch that of sixty- seven ships only eighteen reached Dun kirk in safety.-â€"Army and Navy Jour- nal. “It is not only powder I need. but masts for my ships." replied Oquendo.

Chivalry In Battle. There was some chivalry in a naval fight in the good old days of Blake and Van Tromp. when sneaking subma- rines and barbarous torpedoes were unknown and naval commanders “courted war like a mistress." Scotland and Cakes. Scotland came to be known centu- ries ago as the “Land 0' Cakes" and Yeast In Bread. In the dough from which bread is made there is a lot of su ar. which contains cathon. liydiogen and oxygen. It is necessary to ferment this sugar to make bread edible. and yeast is used because it has the power to do this. It is made from a plant having this quality. Fermentings gar is equiv: - lent to burning it. and there are No results. One is the formation of car- bonic acid gas A great deal of this gas is caught in the dong, h in the form of large or small bubbles. and some of it escapes into the air. The part that cannot escape causes the dough to rise and makes the bread light. The holes in bread are the little pockets which held the carbonic acid gas. The effect of the bubbles is to lift the body of dough so that the heat can penetrate readily and bake it properly.-â€"Boston Herald. A Morbid Desire.

They don't have the same thing on the same day of the week. There are ten separate menus.

Nobody can tell what he's going to have on any given day without work- ing it out with a pencil and paper, and as nobody is likely to go to that trou- ble just for the sake of finding his meals monotonous. the result is. in fact. as pleasantly varied as if the menu for the day was composed every morning.”â€"New York Post. Prismatic Lake. Prismatic lake, in Yellowstone park, is the most perfect spring or its kind in the world. It rests on the summit of a self built mound, sloping gently in all directions. Down this slope the overflow from the spring descends in tiny rivulets, everywhere interlaced with one another. A map of the mound resembles a spider web with the spider (the spring) in the center. The pool is 250 by 300 feet in size. Over the lake hangs an ever present cloud of steam, which itself often bears a crimson tinge, reflected from the waters below. The steam unfortunately obscures the surface of the lake, and one involun- tarily wishes for a rowboat in which to explore its unseen portions. Whenever visible there is a varied and wonderful play of colors, which fully justifies the name. â€" “The Yellowstone National Park," by Hiram Martin Chittenden, Brigadier General, U.‘ S. A...

Tin is a metal of chemistry. lts principal ore is called tin stone or tin oxide and is made up of tin and oxygen. To ob- tain the tin the ore is heated in fur- naces with charcoal. The carbon of the charcoal unites with the oxygen of the ore, forming carbonic acid gas, which passes off into the air, leaving the tin, which melts and is drawn off and cooled in iron molds. This is called block tin. Tin ore is chiefly found in Cornwall, England; Banca, in Dutch East Indies; Malacca and Queensland and New South Wales, in Australia. Tin was used by the ancients. The Phoenicians obtained most “of their tin from the British isles. When the Ro- mans conquered Britain they worked the tin ‘mines in Cornwall by means of slaves. ._ . . . . FRUIT BRANDâ€"DEF.

A young singer who had been study- lng for opera work had the good for- tune to be engaged by an impresario for a tour through South America. His chest swelled with pride as he walked the deck of the steamer that was to take him on his first trip to foreign lands. On the second morning out he was much surprised to meet an old 'classmate, who. like himself, was a tenor singer. And each answered, “I’m engaged by an opera company for a South Ameri- can tour.” “Well. well, where did you come from? Where are you goin"?" each asked the other. “My manager is on this steamer,” said one. “And mine too.” Within five' minutes both singers found that they had been engaged by the same opera company for the same part. “What does the man mean by hiring two different men for the role of first tenor :” asked one. “Pardon me," interrupted a youth who had been standing near and over- heard their conversation. “Yon have myself and two other singers for com- panions in this affair. We have just found out to our surprise that we have all been engaged by the same man for the same part on the same tour. What under the sun can he mean by having five first tenors?” The five youths then took counsel together and decided that they would see the manager and demand an ex- planation. They found him on the forward deck. He listened, seemingly amused at their complaint, and said: “Gentlemen. don’t you worry. I am an old an experienc- ed man in this game and know what I am doing. If you were acquainted with the climate of South America you would know yourselves that it is abso- lutely necessary. We shall scarcely arrive there before three or four of you fellows will be stricken with the deadly tropical fever. Experience has taught me in all my tropical tours to allow for all sorts of mishaps and mis- fortunes. Of course you can see what excellent prospects are offered to the chap who is able to withstand every- thing.” And with these words the manager retired to his cabin. The five young singers then sat down and debated the “excellent prospects." They soon came to a decision. One chance in five of being a star singer instead of a dead one did not prove sufficiently attractive. So when the steamer stopped at Liverpool the youths went ashore, and the impresario never saw them again-Youths Com- panion. ¢+§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§O§§§§§¢¢¢§§90000000490000: Pills For Earthquakes.
