It has been proved that fish that live
near the surface of water can only de

and—this is very lemarkable—the

their bodies become rigid and brittle

Lake Chelan, in Eastern Washing
ton, never freezes, although in latitude
48 degrees north. The reason given
is that it is so deep and the warm wa
ter always rises from the bottom to
supplant the cold, which goes down to
warm itself. The Indians fish in the
lake at all seasons and use salmon eggs
for bait.
A professor in the University of
Klausenburg claims to have com

“*py millions is as nothing to what it
~ will be in the next few years; but he
‘;' works away in his laboratory, and

Insect Superstition.
Insect superstition is very ancient. The l
Koran says all flies shall perish save one
—the bee fly. It is regarded as a death
warning in Germany to hear a cricket’s
cry. The Tapuya Indians in South Amer
ica say the devil assumes the form of a
fly. Rain is, in some parts of the coun
try, expected to follow unusually loud
chirping of crickets, Flies are regarded
as furnishing prognostications of the |
weather, and even of other events. Span- {
inrds in the sixteenth century believed
that spiders indicated gold when they
were found in abundance. Although a
sacred insect among the Egyptians, the
beetle received but little notice in folk
lore. It is unlucky in England to kill
one. In Germany it is said to indicate
good luck to have a spider spin his web
downward toward you, but bad luck
when he rises toward you. The grass
hopper is a sufficiently unwelcome visit
ant of himself in this country, but in
Germany his presence is further said to
announce strange guests. A Welsh tra
dition says bees came from paradise, leav
ing the garden when man fell, but with
God’s blessing, so that wax is necessary
in the celebration of mass. The ancients
generally maintained that there wasa
close connection between bees and the
soul. Porphyry speaks of ‘‘those souls
which the ancients call bees.” It is said
that upon the backs of the seven-year
locusts there sometimes appear marks like
a letter of the alphabet. When this
looks like a W it is thought that war is
imminent. German tribes regard stag
beetles as diabolic, and all beetles are de
tested in Ireland, more especially a bronze
variety known as ‘‘goldie.” It is also
believed that to see a beetle will bring on
rain the next day.
Henry Grady’s Youth.
The first school that Mr. Grady at
tended was taught in an humble little
ivy-covered, one*room frame building by
a lady who came to Georgia from New
England several years before the war.
Young Grady was nine years old when
first put under the tutorship of this esti
mable and cultivated lady, and continued
under her training and guidance for two
years, But about this time the first guns
of the civil war were summoning fathers
of both Southern and Northern children
to the front; and among the first that
left Athens was Major W. S. Grady. He
was ordered to go to Asheville, N. C,,
where he was placed in command of sev
eral companies that were mustering for the
great conflict. Here he was in camp for
many months, drilling his companies and
schooling them generally in matters of
warfare. While thus occupied Major
Grady was often visited by young Henry
Grady and his mother; and it is said that
even then, while but a ten-years-old boy,
his sympathies were so evenly balanced
that he gave utterance to similar senti
ments to those which in after days were
so characteristic of his great speeches. In
fact, all through his boyhood he was
known among his schoolmates to have
been, while a loyal lover of his native
South, always seemingly thoughtful of
the nation’s welfare, as truly as on the
night when, as has been said, ‘he plan
ed the standard of the Southern democrat
in Boston’s banquet hall, and discussed
the problem of the raccs in the home of
Phillips and of Sumner.”—New England
Magazine
A Greenhouse Turtle.
The species of turtle which is the sub
ject of the following item from the
American Garden is very common .in
Florida and might in many instances be
made useful. ‘ln looking through a
private greenhouse a few days since we
made the acquaintance of a box-turtle, a
species common in this section. We
asked what his duties were, and found
him invaluable in clearing out snails of
all denominations, woodlice; in chort,
every variety of creeping, crawling in
sects. The gardner assurel us his ser
vices were of more value than those of a
man.”

Machinery.
Joe S. Nix and Thomas Camp are engaged
in the sale of Steam Engines, Saw Mills, Cotton
Gins and other machinery in the city of Atlanta,
and since they have been in business have sold
over scven hundred engines in Georgia. ‘lhe
relation steam power bears to the development
and civilization of our country is wonderful.

The Best Recommend,
The best recommend a skilled mechanic can
give is a specimen of his workmanship and the
most satisfactory recommendation for a medi
cine is itsufood effect. Now Smith's Tonic
is{yrup. made by Dr. John Bull, of Louisville,
¥., has been used with good effect in many
thousand instances. 1t needs no other recom
mend than this. It does everytime what is ex
pected of it, If used for chills and tever it
cures as certainly and completely as water ‘
quenches thirst. In many localities it has al
most altogether taken the place of quinine. It
has surer effect on chills and fever than quin
ine, for it has cured many cases where quinine
did no T:)od whatever, and then it never pro
duces the after effect quinine frequently has
on the system, such as nausea in the stomach,
headache, dizzy sensations, etc. When a per
son has once used it in place of quinine they
will ever afterwards prefer it.
