In anew edition of his "Letters,” says,
with heart touching pathos:
“For 14 years 1 have not had a day’s
real health. 1 have wakened sick and
gone to bed weary, and I have done my
work unflinchingly. 1 have written in
bed and written out of It. written in
hemorrhages, written in sickness, writ
ten torn by coughing, written when my
head swam for weakness, and for so
long. It seems to me, 1 have won iny
wager and recovered my glove. 1 am
better now—have been, rightly speak
ing. since first I came to the Pacific—
and still few are the days when I air*
not in some physical distress. And the
battle goes on—ill or well is a trifle so
that it goes. I was made for a contest,
and the (lowers have so willed that my
battlefield should be this dingy, inglori

The Life Line In One’s Hand.
There are three prominent lines In
the palm—the line of life, that of the
head and the heart line.
The line of life begins on the inner
boundary of the palm, about midway
between the thumb and the forefinger.
If we imaglue the left hand to be a
map, with the fingers pointing north,
this line runs toward the southeast,
then curves toward the south and In
some hands curves finally toward the
southwest. It thus skirts the base or
“uprise” of the thumb, known as the
uprise cf Venus. If it is deep, broad,
of good color and extends nearly or
quite to the wrist and if the rest of the
hand Indicates vitality and cheerful
ness. the subject maybe expected to live
to a green old age: lie lias a good dispo
sition and the qualities which good
health and good temper usually create.

EASY “SURE THINGS.”
Borne l’ropoaitions That It Is Safe to
Get Aaniiißt.
There are many things which at first
thought appear to lie easy enough of i
accomplishment that it is pretty safe
to bet a man he cannot do. Most people I
know that tlie human hands are not
strong enough to break anew laid egg
if the hands are clasped and the egg
laid endwise between the palms. It is
said that the pressure required to breax
au egg iu this manner amounts to tons.
Among other safe bets is a wager
that a man cannot rise from a chair
without bending forward or putting his
feet under the chair or outside of it.
Many a man will back himself to give
another a start of 50 yards iu a dash
of 100, provided the man having the
start hops all the way. But no runner,
however swift, can give that amount of
start to au ordinary man. For the first
five yards they go at practically the
same pace. Therefore the runner, to go
05 yards while the “hopper” goes 45,
would have to run more than twice as
fast, and it would be a weak man who
could not hop 45 yards at a pace equal
to 20 seconds for 100 yards, and that
would mean t hat the runner in order to
win would have to beat all previous
records.
If a limn boasts that bis penknife is
particularly sharp, ask him to cut with
one stroke of the blade one of those
yellow ribbons, mostly of silk, which
come around bundles of cigars. In 999
cases out of 1,000 the knife is not sharp
enough to do this. It will cut through
all the ribbon but the last strand, and
that will pull out long, and the more
be tries to cut it the longer it will pull
out. *
It is safe to bet any one except a
blind mail that he cannot stand with
out support of any kind for five min
utes at a stretch if he is thoroughly
blindfolded without moving Ins feet.
If he does not move his feet he is pretty
sure to topple over iu about a minute.
SIGNIFICANT QUESTIONS.
How the Small Boy Snocecded In
Breaking Bad Xews Gently.
“What do you want, little boy?”
“Is this where Mr. Upjohn lives,
ma'am ?”
“Yes.”
“The Mr. Upjohn that runs the,
bank?”
“lie is an officer in the bank.”
“The Mr. Upjohn that went down
town on a trolley car this morning?”
"I presume he went on a trolley car.
What”—
“Is he the Mr. Upjohn that was in
that horrible street car accident?”
“1 haven’t heard of his being in any
street car accident.”
“Didn't bear ’at he’d sprained his an

“No, iny little boy; you frighten me.

“Didn’t bear how he run into a drug
store for a piece o’ courtplaster to stick
on a little cut he’d got over the eye?”
“Not at all. For mercy’s sake”—
“He isn’t in, is he, ma’am?”
“No; he’s”—
“Name’s John C. Upjohn, isn’t it?”
“Yes, that’s his name.”
“Then he’s the same man. lie won't

’cause lie’s stoppin’ to have one o' his

A Truly True Dope Story.
Here is an Australian dog story from
the back Weeks: A sheep dog had been
brought from a station into a small
township and fretted after the sheep.
One day not a child was to be seen
about the place, and as evening came
the township became alarmed. Search
was made, and the juveniles were
found huddled up In the corner of a
paddock, where the dog had rounded
them up. He had no sheep to look aft
er, so he took the children. The nar
) rator of this lie guarantees it ns a fact.
It Works Both Ways.
“You are an ungrateful child! If it
hadn’t been for you. I could have gone
; to the mothers’ congress.”
“If it hadn’t been for me. you couldn’t
have gone, because you wouldn't have
been’ a mother.” —Cleveland Plain Deal

HOW A GLOBE IS MADE.
The Process Used In Constructing a
Model of the World.
First, the model is covered with
a thick layer of pasteboard in a
moist state. When it is dry, a sharp
knife is passed around it so as to
separate the pasteboard coat into
two hemispherical shells, which are
then taken off the model and united
at the cut edges with glue. The
hollow sphere thus formed is the
skeleton of the globe that is to be.
The next tiling is to cover it with
a coating of white enamel about
one-eighth of an inch in thickness.
When this is done, the ball is turn
ed into a perfect roundness by a
machine. The iron rod running
through the center of the original
model and projecting at both ends
through the surface lias left holes
in the new globe, which serve for
the north and south poles, and
througli these a metal axis is run to
represent the axis of the earth.
Then the surface is marked off
with pencil lines into mathematical
segments corresponding precisely in
shape with the sections of map that
are to be pasted on. These map
sections are made from copper
plates in just the size and shape re
quired to fit the’globe that they are
intended for, one set, of course, cov
ering the entire spherical surface.
They are printed, many of them,
like dress patterns, on sheets of the
finest linen paper, and are cut out
carefully with a sharp pointed knife.
When they have been pasted on.
the different countries are tinted by
hand with water colors. There is
no special rule for this except that
contrasts are aimed at as a help to
the eye of the user. Finally the
whole is overlaid with a brilliant
white varnish, which is of almost
metallic hardness and will wear in
definitely without scratching or los
ing its brightness.—Milwaukee Sen
tinel.
Ar.ts on “Horseback.”
A French explorer, M. Charles
Meissen, in traveling through Siam
observed a species of small gray ants
which were new to him.
These ants were much engaged in
traveling. They lived in damp
places and went in troops.
To his surprise, he noticed among
them from time to time an occa
sional ant which was much larger
than the others and moved at a
much swifter rate, and each of these
larger ants, M. Meissen saw, always
carried one of the gray ants on its
back. This discovery led him to
watch their movements closely.
He soon saw that while the main
body of gray ants was always on
foot they were accompanied by at
least one of their own sort mounted
on one of these larger ants. He
mounted and detached himself now
and then from the line, rode rap
idly to the head, came swiftly back
to the rear and seemed to be the
commander of the expedition.
The explorer was satisfied from
his observation that this species of
ant employs a larger ant —possibly
a drone of the same species, though
he had no means of proving this—■
as we employ horses to ride upon,
though scarcely more than one ant
in each colony seems to be provided
with a mount.
llow Banana Trees Grim.
It is a peculiar fact that but one
bunch of bananas grows on a tree.
After the fruit has been cut the tree is
then cut down to the ground, and from
the stump another tree sprouts which
bears another bunch the following
year. The greatest trouble of farmers
Is to keep the farms clear of sprouts.
They shoot up from tbs roots of the
tree for a radius of ten feet and grow
like weeds.
As the fruit is cut from the trees it
Is placed on the backs of little pack
donkeys and transported in this way
to the coast. One donkey can carry
from three to six bunches, according to
the size of the bunches and the dis
tance from the coast. In the season at
Baracoa there are more than 3,000 don
keys that stretch along in a line for
miles, plodding toward the coast with
their loads of bananas.
lion't Bine Alone.
How many people dine alone? The
restaurants all number solitary diners
among their regular clientage. How
many thousands of people, men or wo
men, will eat a lone dinner or supper
tonight in the cities and towns and
hamlets ot Ghristendom? The evil of
eating alone is the subject of an ear
nest although cheerful warning from
the London Lancet. The hygienic val
ue of gregarious dining is insisted up
on. The necessity of taking food in
social fashion is an inherent racial sort
of thing, and those who go against it
for years usually have to pay for it
with some of the ills of indigestion.
Breakfasting alone is not bad for a
busy generation, but dining alone is
not a habit to be long continued, in civ
ilization or out of it, without disastrous
results.
Shave, and Colds.
It is not generally known among men
that close shaving is apt. to bring on a
cold. Barbers, however, are acquaint
ed with this fact and It Is rather ou
account of it than through any desire
to bring their patrons back soon again
that they do not, unless ordered io, ad
minister close shoves.

Silence Yon Cun Sec.
There is no such thing as silence In
'this world. It is an impossibility. That
is partly the reason why science has en
abled us to see it.
The explanation of the paradox is
this: Silence, as we understand it, sim
ply means that there are sounds too
delicate or too loud for the ear to regis
ter. In other words, when we can’t
hear anything we call that condition
“silence.” But wherever ydu are there
are sounds around you. Even in the
deepest mine the air vibrates and
makes a sound. An- instrument has
been invented that will catch these
sounds and permit of the vibrations be
ing represented pictorially on a screen,
and in that way you may see silence
and properly understand what it
means.
By comparing the pictures of noises
with those of that condition of things
known as silence we gain an idea of the
difference between a noisy night, for
instance, and one when “absolute si
lence reigns,” as the novelist puts it. It
is rather surprising to find so much dis
turbance at the time when everything
appears to be perfectly quiet.—Pear
son’s Weekly.
Diplomatic.
The late Lord Savile used to say, ac
cording to The Candid Friend, "that
high diplomatists had always to be on
their guard against intriguing women,
mainly Russian agents, who would use
; any wile to extract information. Dur
ing the Uusso-Turkish war, when Eu
rope was always on the verge of a
crisis and Russian statesmen were
most anxious to know what England
would do under given circumstances,
a lady came up to him suddenly at a
ball and said:
“I hear that the Russians have made
a forced march and entered Constan
tinople,” hoping no doubt that he would
be surprised into some indiscreet ex
pression.
He merely replied:
“Ineed! And I suppose the sultan
has conferred on them the order of the
Turkish Bath!”
The lady continued gravely:
“And they say in Paris that if Eng
land does not interfere the eastern
question is settled in favor of Russia.”
“And that.” replied his excellency.
“Is, I suppose, the new judgment of
Paris.”
Wood Too Hard to Barn.
There are certain kinds of wood that
are too hard to burn, or refuse to ignite
for some other reason, such as iron
wood and the good brier root, but it is
a curiosity to come across a piece of
common deal—the soft, light wood of
which so many boxes are made—that
cannot be set fire to.
The piece of wood In question was
common white deal from Sweden, but
was remarkable for its comparative
weight. It bad formed part of a boat
belonging to a whaler and bad been
dragged below tbe surface of the wa
ter to the depth of more than half a
mile by a harpooned whale. The
length of line and tbe short distance
from the point of descent after being
struck at which the whale rose to the
surface was a proof of the depth to
which it had dragged the boat.
Only part of tbe boat came up again
at the end of tbe line, and it was taken
on board when the whale bad been
killed. That piece of wood was so
hard that it would not burn in a gas
jet. The weight of water bad com
pressed It.—London Standard.
Birds’ Sonus.
A French writer, Henri Coupon, says
that, notwithstanding the fact of their
simpricity, the songs of birds cannot be
imitated with musical instruments be
cause of the impossibility of reproduc
ing their peculiar timbre. The notes of
birds, while corresponding with our
musical scale, also include vibrations
occupying the intervals between our
notes. The duration of birds’ songs is
usually very short, two or three sec
onds for thrushes and chaffinches, four
or five seconds for blackbirds, but from
two to five minutes for tbe lark.
