the watechful- ness of fire insurance companies in New York city in the erection of Luild- ings in that city says: \u201cInsurance companies in placing policies upon so called fireproof buildings do not accept the word of the builders and contractors, nor rest content with the evidence submitted by the city building department.perts make an examination.Such an examination is made not at the behest of politicians or in the interest of a group of men, but by technical experts whose reports must be exact, detalled and exhaustive in the interests of shrewd business men.The insurance underwriters have their own corps of expert engineers and fireproof agents in the fleld ull of the time.When a large building is in course of construction in New York these experts of the underwriters watch every stage of the development.They have no power to stop work on the building as city building inspectors bave when the building laws are not complied with, but they possess another sort of check which is fully as effectual.The builders, contractors or owners, or all three, are notified that further insurance policies will not be made on the building until certain remedies are made.\u201d\u2014 Pittsburg Press.Earrings.Earrings have always been among the most favorite ornaments of nearly all the nations of the world, certainly with those which are called civilized, Indeed

until the last fow years was supposed to be incurable.For s great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed Jocal remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local

many people, especially those suffering from melancholia, It lifts them out of their solemt moods, dispels gloom and despoudency, kills discouraged feelings and gives new bope, new life and new vigor, It secms to put a great many people into proper tune.It gives them the keynote of truth and beauty.strikes the chords of harmony, dispels discord from the life, scattets clouds and brings sunshine, All good music is a character builder because its constant suggestion of harmony, order and beauty puts the mind into a normal attitude.Music clears the cobwebs out of many minds, so that they can think better.act better and live better.Some writers are dependent upon music for thelr luspi- ration and their moods.Somehow it brings the muxe to them.It adds bril- Mancy to the brain and facility

Guglielmo Ferrero.Long and sclentificully he has studied our country; his oplnion of the present, lis forecast of the future, represent the best European thought upon the destinies of the United

mermaids at sea.half women and half fish, and there are fishes which may bave given rise to the beljet, from their resemblance to human beings.One of these is called the man fish.This animal inhabits the mouths of the Amazon, Orinoco and other South American rivers.Its name (manatee) has reference to the peculiar form of its swimming paws, These are composed of soft parts and a membrane which infolds the bones of the hands and fingers.But in the manatee four flat nalls are seen attached to the edge of the paw, The tail also is peculiar, being about one-fourth the length or the body and oval shaped, not unlike that of the otter.The head Is round, attached to the body without a neck.The muzzle, in which the nostrils are placed, is large and fleshy, the upper lip cleft and bristled at the side, the lower lip much , shorter and the mouth small, \u2018 When seen ut a distance, with the anterior part of the body out of the water.they are sometimes taken for some creature approaching to human shape.The effect bas Leen deepened by the thickset hairs of the muscle, giving somewhat the appearance of buman hair or a beard.Thus the Spanish and the Portuguvexe give the .manatee a name which signifies woman fish, and tbe Dutch cull it the dudong Laardman- netze or littie bearded man.Lunatics Used as Horses.A regular slave mart still exists In many country districts of inland.Once a

DROWNING.Two Minutes Under Water Sufficient to Cause Fatal Rosults, Drowuing is a quicker death than most people suppose, Insensibility Is sald to begin in about one minute, and fata] unconsclousness generally supervenes In the neighborhood of two.Even practiced divers cannot remain under water more than a minute and a half, and It is almost fatal to remain beneath the surface longer than that, At Navarino, where there are many expert divers who plunge into the sea after sponges, not one was found who could remain under water for two minutes.In the Red sea the Arab divers generally remain down one and a quarter minutes, while at Ceylon the peurl flsLers can seldom stay below for even one minute, There is a case on record at Falmouth, England, where a diver bad descended eighty feet and on giving the signal was drawn up slowly, so it was two minutes before he reached the surface, Blood ran from hls ears and nose, and he was Insensible, He died without speaking.Insensibility, however, does not always Involve death, for In many cases a person may be resuscitated by the use of energetic measures, The bringing to of pcople who have been under water for flve consecutive minutes, however, Is considered doubtful by physicians, There Lave been extraordinary cases related, nevertheless, where persons have been brought back to life after having been submerged for fifteen or twenty minutes, but it is probable that they have come to the surface again and again during that time.\u2014Blackwood\u2019s, SAINT OF THE COOKS.| A Queen of the Culinary Art Who Lived In Genoa, | Santa Zita, as the patron saint of the cooks is nuwmed, lived, it appears, at Genoa and was there canonized.She { could, so runs the legend, cook better than any chef within 300 miles of the town, which, we all know, is noted for its wonderful soups and Qumplings, thouch of course in the latter indi- zestible article of food outrivaled by Vienna, since it is one of the chief articles in the religion of gastronomy that it is ouly in the kaiserstadt that the \u201cglose\u201d is iu perfection, Santa Zita wus, it seems, not less famous for her plety than for cooking and was a constant attendant at the cathedral during high mass.One day.however, she fell into a trance, so called\u2014though, in plain Eng- ish, a good, sound sleep\u2014and quite forgot that she had to produce an exceptionally fine dinner for a large company.On awakening she hurried forth from the sacred cdifice in a way which was far indeed from her wont, but on reaching the kitchen what was her surprise and delight to find a party of cherub celestinls busy cooking the required dinner.She did not interfere, but was at first not unwilling to accept the praise which was lavished on her cullnary success.She soon repented, however, aud told the world the truth about the spiritual and miraculous help she had reccived, and it was ggreed on all sides that she deserved to be canonized.Accordingly she became Santa Zita,\u2014 Loudon Queen, Philosophers and Traffic.Many a philosopher in the course of A is star gazing has fallen into a ditch\u2014 and worse.The fate of Drofessor Curle, the discoverer of radium, who, intent upon its possibilities, fell under the wheel of a wagon and was crushed to death, might be paralleled by several instances of the kind from lives of philosophers, notably that of Archimedes of Syracuse, who was so concentrated on a mathematical problem when its Roman besiegers at last burst into that city that he fell under their swords in spite of his impatient, \u201cNoll

series of small spotllke marks runs along the side of the body.These apparent spots.which are eighteen or twenty In number, are, in fact, the apertures tLrougt.which alr is admitted into the systers, and are generally formed In such a mauner that no extraneous matter cun by any possibility find entrance.Sometimes they are furnished with a pair of horuy lps, which can Le opened and closed the will of the insect; in other cases they are densely fringed with stiff, interlacing bristles, forming à filter which allows alr and air alone to pass, But the apparatus, of whatever character it may be, Is always so wonderfully perfect in its action that it has been found Impossible to injure the body of a dead insect with so subtle a medium as spirits of wine, although the subject was first immersed In the fluid and then placed beneath the re- cefver of an air pump, The apertures in question communicate with two large breathing tubes, which extend through the entire length of the body.From these main tubes are given off innumerable branches, which run in all directions and continually divide and subdivide, until a wonderfully intricate network is formed pervading every part of the strue- ture and penetrating even to the antennae, AN ANCIENT TELEGRAPH.Used by Grecinn Generals In the Time of Aristotle, Telegraphy as u means of conveying fnformation to a distance by means of signals, etc, was used by the Grecian generals iu the time of .\\ristotle.This early mode of telegrapling consisted of two or more earthen vessels, exactly similar In shape and size and filled with water.These vessels were each provided with faucets of exactly the same caliber, so that an equal amount of water could be discharged from each in a given time, In these vessels several uprights were fixed, each with disks attacbed, on which were certain letters and sentences.When all was in rendiness the party desiring to communicate with another started a signal, which was continued until it was answered by another which signified \u201cgo ahead.\u201d When that signal was given both turned the faucets, and the water commenced to escape.The water continued to flow until the sender of the message relighted bis torch, when the outlet to both was instantly stopped.The receiver then read the message on the disk which was standing level with the water, And if everything had been executed with exactness it corresponded with the message which the sender desired to convey, and which of course was the oue also shown on the disk standing on a level with the water in his vessel, A Caustic

upper part is covered with the most dellcate slate colored fur, So strong are the webs that birds the size of larks are frequently caughr therein, and even the small but powerful scaly lizard falls a victim.4 writer says that he has often sat and watched the yellow monster\u2014measur- ing, when waiting for his prey, with hig legs stretched out, fully six inches\u2014 striding across the middle of

coronation of the Virgin, he sought to test his design hy filling in the lines with a preparation of oil and lampblack, which threw the picture into relief.By chauce the face was laid face downward on a piece of damp linen, and when taken up it was discovered that the picture was printed.Sheet after sheet of damp paper was impressed by the same plate and the good news that the art of printing pictures was born spread like wildfire throughout Europe.The collection of old prints introduces Albrecht Durer, the \u201cfatlier of line engraving\u201d (1471) in four brilliant impressions of \u201cAdam and Eve,\u201d \u201cLittle Horse,\u201d \u201cMelancho- lin\u201d and \u201cSt.Gerome.\u201d **Melancbolia\u201d is a strange composition of extraordinary originality, and bas Leen a mystery for over four centuries.This hit of yellowed paper, possibly pulled from the plate by Durer\u2019s own hands, has lost none of its fascination.~\u2014Chicago Post.NO SENTIMENT IN SIGHS.They Are Simply Caused by a Desire For More Breath.The sigh.which from time immemorial and by all the puets whoever sung bas been regarded as a matter of seu- timent and connected with the emotions, is declared by pbysicians to Le as purely a physical phenomenon as is the sneeze or cough.A well known Philadelphia doctor, speaking of this the other day, explained that the sigh is nature's method of making ote take a deep breath, When the lungs have been getting insufficient air a sigh is the means by which they are replenished, or when the air has been impure the sigh which one often takes in stepping out into the open air is from the same cause.The doctor admitted that people sometimes sigh from sorrow or other mental ill, but maintained that this is partly because it has been accepted as the expression of grief through ages as long as kissing and handshaking bave been accepted as signs of affection or friendship.Another reason why a sigh follows a sorrowful thought is that such thoughts are often concentrated and intense enough to cause insufficient breathing.When the fungs suffer for a certain time from this insuf- ficlency the sigh follows.Sighs are often caused, too, says the same authority, by certain sorts of indigestion.- Philadelphia Record.An Ancient Recipe.An anclent recipe for making a sweet perfume for the ladies runs as follows: Take storax, calamite and

which gre being discovered by the dozen every year, it could not have much claim upon popular attention, but Uranus is really à giguntic world, more than sixty thes as large as ours.Its vast distance, about 1,700,000,000 miles from the emrth, is what causes it to look so small.Uranus has four moons, which revolve backward in their orbits\u2014that is to say, they revolve from cast to west around Uranus, while Uranus goes, like all the other planets, fron west to east around the sun.It is believed that Cranus rotates backward on {ts axis also, Moreover, the axis of that great, strange globe lies in such a direction that in the course of its year, which is equal to elghty-four of our years, the sun shines almost perpendicularly first upon one pole and then upon the other.Measured by our time standard, there are forty years of constant daylight, followed by forty years of unbroken night, around the poles of Uranus, And the sun rises in the west and sets fn the cast there.But the sun looks very small when viewed from Uranus\u2014only one four-hundredth as large as it appears to us.Still it sheds upon that planet 1,500 times as | neh light as the full moon sends to the earth, =o that daylight upon Uranus, while faint compared with the blaze of no terrestrial noonday.is nevertheless a very respectable kind of Hluniination.CAKE AN CLD INSTITUTION, The Ancients Mande and Ate It, but It Was a Simple Affair.The ancients made cake, Lut it was pot the rich, highly seasoned and tla- vored confection which we indulge in nowadays.\u2018They had plain cakes made with flour and water, sone of them without a suspicion of sweet or flavor.Some of them were not unlike our plainest erackers and were often eaten ag woe eat bread, Wedding cake was an institution among them, as with us, but the cake Was a plain one aud was broken above the head of the bride as she went to her new home.This was a special feature of Roman marriages 2,000 years ago.The hreaking of the cake was part of a solemn ceremony.All of the zakes of aucient history are plain and simple.It is only as we come duwn to more modern times that we hear of spices and fruits and all of the rich and luxurious Ingredients in which present day cnkemukers delight.In Queen Elizabeth's time spice cakes and buus were exten at weddings.From these the fashion and fancy grew for all sorts of elaborate and deliciously unwholesowe combinations until there seems to be a perpetual struggle for something new and more unusual to stir into the cake of the period.Mensuring Medicine, Use a medicine glass with the amount of each spoouful and drop marked upon it.Teuzpounfuls and tublespoon- fuls are always mentioned, but as these vary lu size it is uot safe to rely upon them.Drops, too, cannot be properly measured without a glass.Keep the medicine glass perfectly clean.It should be washed out after each dose, in readiness for the next time.It is desirable that if the patient is to have medicine with a strong smell, oils, ete., to keep a glass specially for them, letting it soak in bot water for Lalf aun bour after use to remove all disagreeable odor.It is impossible to cleanse such a glass in a few moments.When

run-down condition, felt tired, irritable and all out of sorts, Was just able to drag myself about from day to day.I had not much faith in the efficacy of ordinary remedies to help women, for 1 had tried them.I went therefore to a leading physician of Montreal, He evidently did not know what I specially needed, for his medicine did me little good.1 then went to another physician.He gave me a liquid prescription, which made me feel better while l was taking it, but worse when I stopped.Then a friend, who had proved their worth, recommended Dr.Hugo's Health Fablets.I tried them and found they contained just whata run-down woman needs.Again your statement proved true.Improvement was noticed the first week, They increased my appetite and helped digestion.I forgot that I had any nerves.I began to sleep well nights and got up in the morning with the tired feeling gone and ready for the day's duties.In fact, they did for me just what you claim they will do for women in your
