The Apache Indians’ Mjigious belief prevents them from committing murder in the dark. If a dozen Apaches should discover a man sleeping by his camp fire at night no amount of money would hire them to attack him until the sun came up. They believe that if they kill a man at night their own souls will walk in eternal darkness forever. Knowing this curious superstition, hunters, scoots, trappers and others traveling through the Apache nation move about during the night and lay by in some safe retreat during the day.—St. Louis Republic. The word catarrh, as popularly used, means fither nasal catarrh or bronchitis. Nqsal catarrh is often helped by snuff ing np, so as to carry it into the month, a weak solution of salt and water, re peating the operation several times a day. Where the disease is very persist ent, it is well, when possible, to try s change of climate. In bronchitis the case should be attended by a physician. The fact that many of the houses of Portland, Or., and San Francisco are built of redwood is given as a reason for the few destructive fires that occur in those cities. The wood is almost unin flammable, and, though a fire will smol der in it, it never blazes. The groat ob jection to the use of this wood in the eastern states is that it will not stand the alternations of heat and cold. A marvelous feat is recorded of a young Japanese student. He entered the University of Berlin some yean ago as a medical stndent, being then entirely ignorant of German as well os of sci ence; yet in three months he passed an examination conducted in German and including several branches of the med ical cnrricnlnm. When the ankle has been severely sprained, immerse it immediately in hot water, keeping It there for fifteen or twenty minutes. After it 1ms been taken ont of tho water koep it bupdaged with cloths wrung ont of hot water. Scientific men say that the earth’s age is about half a million years for the neb ular and stellar period, and about 35,000,- 000—of which 15,000,000 are past—for the period of organic beings. While the armies of the British em pire cost about $177,000,000 a year, the German empire costs abont $107,000,000 a year, and the French army a little over $140,000,000. , A $70,000 borne for the young women attending the Peabody Normal college la soon to he erected in Nashville, Trim., by the trustees of the University of Nashville. VI orrylng the Elevator Conductor. The decoration of elevators has be come quite an art in some of the down town office buildings. One of the pio neers in this work has transformed an elevator in the New York Life building into a sort of Japanese bower. He says he has to spend most of his life there, and believes in softening the asperities of labor with attractive surroundings. While he easily holds the lead in this sort of finery, others of his kind have done very welt The nabob of One caboose down town who is always on the lookout for fancy prints and gew gaws, and who had rather stretch his legs and contemplate the luxury of his apartment than carry passengers, was presented the other day by a tenant of the building with one of the fancy cards inscribed, “You press tho button and we do the nest.” He was so much pleased with it that he made it a central decora tive figure for the rear wall of his eleva tor, bordering it with rosettes and a framework of gilt. His tenants admired it, commented on its fitness for such a place, and praised his taste in framing it. After it had been up a day or two it was noticed that a black line in ink hod been drawn under the words “the rest.” Another liuesoou appeared there as mysteriously us hail the first Then caino a third and a fourth, and then some one farther em phasized the words by drawing a ring of iuk aronnd it. Tho elevator artist was iu a great steW over it for several days, for the decoration was too handsome to lose, anil ho could not take it down with out spoiling his wall. At last, with rub ber aud metal eraser, he obliterated the incriminating word, lines and ring, hut only to the increase of his discomfiture,- for his tenants now read the sign, “You press the button and wo do nothing.”— New York Times. Selling Strawberries at a Profit. “Thero are tricks in all trades hut onrs,” said a retail grocer to me recently. “You wonder how it is that we are able to sell strawberries at less than they cost ns and still make money. It is a puzzler to tho uninitiated, isn’t it? But after all it is simple enough when yon know how. “For instance, 1 go down to the mar ket and buy a crate of strawberries for thirty cents a box. Now my trade is not rich enough to pay me even thirty, fivo cents a box, and at less than that I make no profit. “Well, I take those berries and empty them ont of the boxes. Then I take a nice piece of white paper, which is much cheaper than strawberries, and drape, as it were, the box Then I take the berties and arrange them very carefully in such a way that all that are any way touched with decay go to the bottom and only the fine, ripe, sonnd ones are in sight By leaving plenty of space between the berries, except the top layer, I havo no difficulty in filling two of the draped boxes with the contents of one of the original, and then they look much richer and more appetizing and seU better. “When this is done, ont they go in front of tho storo marked twenty cents a box, and before 1 know it they are all sold, netting me a nice little profit. If 1 had tried to sell them in the original boxes at thirty-five centslwonld have hod a good many left on my hands to spoil. • “Why, some of the bigger dealers In green groceries and frnitskeep a man, at a pood salary, simply to repack goods, and it pays well.’’—New York Herald. Too Well Hidden. Elizabeth Glover, in her book, “Fam ily Manners," devotes a. chapter to de ploring the New England habit of -re pressing one’s feelings on the. matters nearest at heart, and never allowing them to find expression in words. She says: There was a railroad accident, and a poor farmer’s wife was taken ont, bleed ing and unconscious. The doctor and a kind woman were working over her when her husband came in and stood a moment, looking on in disturbed silence. His cheeks were drawn in, his eyebrows lifted, his hands in his pockets. Presently, with some effort, he cleared his throat to speak, and os the doctor looked nphe asked, “Ye didn’t see a new tin dipper lyin’ round where yo flicked her np, did ye?" He got no answer from the indignant doctor, and preeently strayed ont again in search of his dipper. * Meanwhile his wife opened her eyes and at once asked for her husband. “He’s safe,” said the doctor shortly, She felt his cart tone, and faint as she was she divined what it meant. “He’s a dreadful feolin’man," she said,'’'bat he don’t never say much.” Length and Breadth of London. The metropolitan area of London ex tends over some twelve miles from north to south, and some seventeen miles from east to west; within this space thirty- nine governments so rule the houses, roads, drains of their three millions and throe-quartera of subjects that for the last ten years tho death rate has been only 23$ per 1,000, or but 1 per 1,000 in excess of that of the whole country. In the seventeenth century it is believed that the deaths exceeded the births in London, and the death rate was then about 49 per 1,000, or more than doable what it is now, aud higher by far than the mortality rates of the unhcalthiest cities of Europe today.—London Tit-Bits, for Infants and Children. 4utorlAiiflowen» 4 «pr i ^ehfldrer t**t d to me.” H.
