RURAL MAIL CARRIER
.'IMMEDIATE WORK
GETS A TRIBUTE
Editor Times Enterprise:
I wish to pay a tribute to the rural
letter carriers. I think the people
ougiit to get better acquainted with him.
We all expect him rain or shine, hot or
cold, but we know l.trie. and. in fact,
c»re little about his troubles This
makes it harder for him to perform his
duty, for "don’t care" makes bad roads,
bad bridges and the like.
I think tbe first tiling we oan do. to
help him is to aid him in making a cen
sus of his route. The law requires that
he have the names of every man, woman
and chUd on his roate, so he can tell
where to deliver the mail addressed to
them. It is easy enough to learn the
names of the grown people, but the nat
rons are careless about writing down
the names of the chiloren for him. If
they will do this they will help both him
and themselves and insure the prompt
delivery of mail.

THE PORCUPINE,
Id Bta Ukiag For Salt an Acquired
or a Natural TnateT
Some men who Were camping in the
Adirondack* several years ago on
breaking camp in the autumn left an
old tub which was saturated with
salt brine. On returning to the'same
camp tbo next year tucy found Hint
the tub had been gnawed until little of
It was left. They were not long in find
ing out what animal bad done the
work, for tho camp was overrun with
Canadian porcupines. At night they
liecanie such n nuisance that the camp
ers were obliged to kill them to protect
their property. The handle of a paddle
was gnawed half through.
The explanation of their presence In
such numbers during that year, when
they hud not been noticeably abundant
In the previous year. Is that they had
made a rendezvous of the camp, being
attracted by the old brine tub. On
this they feasted all winter and for
that reason were greatly pleased with
the locality.
An interesting query Is this: Is the
liking for salt an acquired or a natural
taste? Were they ever able to gratify
that tn*te to any extent before r. :t
gave them a chance to do so?—St. Nich

PUNISHED BY PROMOTION.
CcrlouN Lima That Prevailed In the
Florentine Republic.
The Florentine repnhllc had a unique
method of dealing with Its too ardent
democrats. In 1293 the state passed
the famous “Magna Cliarta of Flor
ence,” to curb tbe cruelty and rapacity
of tbe lawless nobles, who, In defiance
of the law courts, were accustomed to
fiog and torture their dependents at
will. Tho net practically disfranchised,
those titled harpies by a clause which
excluded them front the slgnory—a
body In the state corresponding to tlio
British cabinet—unless they renounced
their nobility.
Tills curious provision prepnml tbo
ivny for a still more extraordinary
clause, which enacted that any member
of tho democratic party who tuii.Io
blutrcif c\noxious to tho government
and was l y theta declared to tie “guilty
of treason to the commonwealth'*should
lie given a patent of nobility and tli.ui

One of the Fontana Whimpering Places
of the World. y
Atnoi ,' the notable whispering place*
of the world la the • “Ear of Diony
sius” of ancient Byractt**; .It Is In
the shape of'a. p i:\ibollc curve, ending
In an elliptical with.*! <• » par
allel to its axis, perfc !i and
covered With a slight, staluctir * icrns-
tatlon that renders Its re;*7.’ union*,
amazingly sonorous. It is 04 feat high,
from 17 to 35 In, breadth and 1ST deep.
It has'an awful and gloomy appear
ance, which, with Its singular shape,
perhaps gave rise to the* popular and
amusing paradox that Dionysius had It
constructed for the confinement; of
those whom he deemed Inimical to his
authority and that from the little
apartment above be could hear all the
conversation among the captives who
were brought to the ancient town of
Syracuse in tbe time of Its splendor,
when it was the largest in Sicily. The
sound of words uttered with a low
voice la augmented In vaults or gal
leries so as to become audible at a con
siderable distance from the speaker.
A like effect takes place In n less de
gree when sound ascends from the bot
tom of a deep well or when words are
uttered at one extremity of a long cor
ridor or passage in a building. If a
pin be dropped Into a well tho sound
produced when It strikes the water Is
distinctly heard at the mouth or the
sounds of words spoken near the sur
face of any well Is similarly augment

A FAMOUS STAR GROUP.
Tlie Constellation Orion la IsCgend
and Literature.
The constellation* Orion Is mentioned
in tbe literature of all ages. In Egypt
It represented Homs, the young or ril
ing sun, in a boat surmouuted by stars,
closely followed by Sirius, which woa
shown as a cow. It has also b*en
found sculptured on the walls of
Thebes C.uOO years ago. And ou the
inon of that early time It shone down
from the same position and with the
same brightness as it does on us today,
a striking example of tbe unebauge-
ablcueaa of the heuveus.
From the days of the early Hindoos
to the present tbe constellation has for
some reason borne always a stormy
character. Allusions to it^ direful Influ
ence are found everywhere among the
classic writers. Thus Milton wrote:
Wh r n with fierce v/lndn Orion arrived
Hath vexed tho Red sea coast.

less water, more protehl. more fat and

When Rrplllea Die.
A Viennese naturalist deelnres that
nearly nil reptiles that die from nat
ural causes close their lives between
nightfall nud inlduight. only n few be
tween midnight and morning and few
er still in daylight. Most reptiles seem
aware of ‘their approaching death, seek
ing out particular places and there
awaiting tlie end, while those whose
lives are spent underground come to
tho surface before death.
