The human ear is an organ the true
Inwnrdncos of which the physician*
hint' never been able to get at. They
can examine the Interior of the eye
with case by throwing Into Its dark
chamber a ray of light rejected from
a little mirror, and they found It pos
sible even to see the gray matter of the
brain by looking, through the little
canal by which the optic nerve enters.
The cavity behind the nose they ln-
ei>ect with the uld of a light placed far
buck in the mouth.
They have no difficulty In seeing Into
the stomach by an electric apparatus;
the Intestine* likewise are readily
enough Investigated, and the bladder
also. Hut tbe ear ns to Its Internal
arrnugements Is unapproachable. It Is
Impossible to dissect It satisfactorily
after death, for the reason that the
parts collapse at once when the vital
■park leaves the body.

half so funny.
Tbe head master of an English girl’s

the Ice of the glacier, while with the

I.nndunnm Drinking.
It Is surprising wbnt one's eonstltu-
tloti can be made to stand In the way
of narcotics. Prom tmuill beginnings It
Is possible to go on Increasing the
doses until n quantity cun be taken
which would kill two or three persons
unueeustoined to anything of the sort.

Is only one rellncry In the world that

would not find much sale for table use,

Heavy bettor as he was. I’lerre Isorll- i
lard once met his match when he rau ;
up against gray bearded James E.
Kelly, who Introduced bookmaklug Into
this country. It was nearly Jt genera
tion ago and at Jerome park. Kelly
was laying 2’i to 1 against one ef
I.orlllard's horses lu a big stake event.
The news went to Mr. Lorlllnrd. seated
on h!s conch on the clubhouse lnwn.
“I'll Just take n little ot the conceit |
out of that sawed off Irishman.” said j
I/orlllard to Wright Sanford. NeWbold.l
Morris. John Hunter and a few other ,
congenial spirits. They started for the
ring together.
"I'll lay $10,000 on my horse at that
price. Kelly," said Mr. Lorlllnrd I’J Ilia
princely fashion, expecting to see Kelly
wilt and refuse to lake the wager.
“Certainly, Mr. Lorillard.” Then
turning to his sheet writer. Kelly said:
“$25,000 against 310.000. Pierre I.orli-
lard." Quickly he turned to the to
bacco magnate with a polite "Much |
obliged to you. Mr. Lorillard: very .
much obliged. Would you or -your
friends care to bet another 510.000 at
the same odds? Should be delighted
to accommodate you."
"What a nerve!” was all Mr. Lord-
lard could soy ns he turned on Ills heel
and walked away.

The I.smllabher Darks of Sahara.
"The proverbial fondue.is of ducks'
for water would lead one to presup
pose that of all the world t'.ie most des
titute of ducks would be the Sahara
desert and that If a stray 'spriitgfair
happened to drift Into that region be
would either vamoose or turu up his ,
toes with briefest delay. Well, not at j
all." said a Frenchman who was for- ■
merly n resident of Tunis.
“There nre parts of (lie desert where
ducks ».boitnd, flourish and multiply
with every evidence of perfect satis
faction. The fowl Is slightly different
from nn.v of the varieties we kuow lu
tills country, but It has the same fiat
bill, extensive breast nnd web feet,
showing that It was once n water bird. !
though now It scarcely finds enough to ■
drink and has become too provident to
waste any of the precious fluid In ablu
tions. Like the other good Mussulmans
of the country, they tnke their prescrib
ed bath 111 tiie saml. and their web feet
come In very handy an suowshnes to
walk upon t'.ie deep yielding dust. It
Is claimed by an eminent French orni
thologist that the Saharan ducks are
the remains of a race of aquatic birds i
which frequented those seas when the I
present desert was a part of the Allan- |
tie ocean."
Hole* In Kvcrythln*.
You are skeptical about the accuracy
of this statement nnd ask why water
does uot leak from a bottle If there are
holes lu everything? The answer is
simple enough—the drops or globules
of water are bigger than the holes.
Tnklug glass as au illustration, we find
that ulr Is about the only substance
that can get through those holes.
A scientist proposes the following a i
on experiment: Place a hell in a 1 -title
exhausted of air and hermetically
sealed. The lie-11 will not ring because
the medium for conveying sound Is nut
there.
Set the bottle aside fora few months,
then try the bell again, and it will ring,
faintly, perhaps-, but nevertheless thet->
will lie it sound. That means that th 1
nlr has got lu. It lias made its way
through the holes in the glass.
The Incandescent lamp is a bulb of
glass exhausted of air so that the slen
der filament may glow when the elec
tricity runs along It. 'I tie air works
Its way In gradually and the light In
comes less brilliant lu proportion.
Hints n» Food.
Nuts contain a large amount of nour
ishment. nnd owing to their oily ttntni"
digest easily. Eaten with salt they him
pain table. Either as a dessert fours.'
or salted and used as a relish their
value Is the same. They are not ex
pensive. for from the peanut through
the Imported varieties they eau lie
bought in hnik at small cost.
The iti-aiiut lias many good qualities
to recommend it.and from its low estate
Is coming lo the front as an inqiortaut
Item In dietetics. It Is supposed to cure
Insomnia If enlen Just before retiring.
Salted, they are much cheaper than al
monds. The small hickory nut. at a
few cents n quart, can be used on the
most ecouomlcul table. The Engl.sh
walnut makes a very good salad
blanched nnd used with celery. Fil
berts. almonds and Brazil nuts are
more expensive, but as only a few are
needed at a time tbe cost Is uot great.—
