' THE MULE in the jug. An Arab Proverb and the Legend That Gave It Birth. Who can affirm that the mule entered the jug? This proverb is frequently quoted to show that though one may conscientiously believe in a thing which may seem extravagant in itself, it is better not to repeat it from fear of being disbelieved. It arises from the following Arabic legend: An Arab who denied the existence of genii once bought a mule and took It home. When performing his evening ablutions, he saw the mule enter a jug. and this so scared him that he ran shouting to the neighbors and told them what be had seen. They, thinking him mad, endeav- ' ored to appease him, but all in vain. He vociferated more and more, so that i the authorities sent him to the madhouse. When the doctor came to see him, he repeated the account of what he had seen, whereupon the doctor ordered him to be detained. He continued upon each visit of the doctor to repeat his statement until his friends succeeded in persuading him that if be wished to regain his freedom he must recant. This he did, and the doctor set him at liberty, to the great joy of his family and friends. On making his ablutions as before he again saw the mule, this time peeping out of the jug, but on this occasion he contented himself with remarking to the mule: ‘’Oh, yes, I see you well enough, but who would believe me? And I have had enough of the madhouse.” Needless to say that the genii to avenge themselves for hfs disbelief In them bad transformed one of themselves into a mule and as such entered the jug.— Cairo (Egypt) Sphinx. A ROCKING STONE. New York’s Souvenir of the Remote Glacial Period. Though tens of thousands of persons yearly see the great rocking stone of Bronx park in New York city, few realize that it is the city’s most conspicuous souvenir of the glacial period, when all of this section was covered with an ocean of ice some 1,500 feet thick that was moving slowly toward the south.

That pinkish bit of granite, weighing thirty tons, standing seven and onehalf feet above its rocky base, being ten feet broad and eight feet thick, came from the far north, carried in the resistless icy arms of the glacier that swept over the continent down to this latitude, marking its path by depositing great bowlders as It moved and leaving scratches on the firm rocks beneath, from the sliding, grinding bits and masses of granite that setUed to its base and were pushed along as It moved.

This same bowlder left Its mark on the bare face of the rocky hill to the north of it, in which lies the crocodile pool. There the scratches are visible today, pointing to where the bowlder stands aud telling the story of part of Its travels. When the melting Ice departed from the great block of granite. It left It standing through the ages a rocking stone so delicately poised that a pressure of fifty pounds exerted on its most northern angle causes its apex to sway north and south about two Inches.—New York Herald. A Considerate Reporter. When the Maine was blown up the wife of Lieutenant Commander Wainwright was at her home in Washington. She had heard nothing of the news when she was awakened about 4 o'clock in the morning by a violent knocking at the door of her house. Finally Mrs. Wainwright rose and looked out of the window, asking what was the matter. A voice called out, “Are you the wife of Lieutenant Commander Wainwright?” “Yes. Wbat do you want?” “The Maine has been totally destroyed. We are reporters and wish for some Information about Mr. Wainwright.” Only tills and nothing more. The shock caused the poor lady to fall in a dead faint, from which she did not rally for several hours, and. fortunately for her. it was then known her husband was not among the lost. Might Have Known. An austere looking lady walked into a furrier’s and said to the shopman, “I should like to purchase a muff.” “Wfat fur?” demanded the man. “To keep my hands warm, yon Idiot?’ exclaimed the lady—London Scraps.

“THE POSE OF POWER.” A Doctor 8«y» It Con Only Be Obtained by Carrying the Body Right The human body is a machine—a machine in some respects not unlike a watch. If you bend the watch slightly you displace its parts (Its organs, if you please), and then the watch will not go aright. The same is true of man. In his body every organ has its place. If his body is bent some or all of bis vital organs are displaced. They cannot perform their work, and the man, like the watch, is out of order. ‘"How many of us are like that? Well, in an examination covering several thousand people I found less than ‘ one in a hundred who was right Nlne-ty-nlne people out of a hundred have ■ displaced organs. I may add that I have never found 1 disease in any organ that was babitualily carried in its norma! place. The or- | gan always becomes displaced before it becomes diseased. And what is the cause of this universal displacement? In a word, the j cause is a bad method of holding the body in standing, in sitting, walking about and lying down. The trunk is merely a flexible, hollow cylinder inside of which the organs are supported, each in its place. When, however, the body is bent and collapsed, as in most people, the organs drop out of their places and are crowded against each other. They are then unable to do their work, and thus they become diseased. Every case of chronic Indigestion which I have ever examined has bad a stomach that was hanging from two to j five inches lower than its right position —a condition known to medical men as gastroptosis. And the rare man who holds his body aright in standing, walking or sitting, such a man is always a man of power. Cromwell was a man of this type. So were Napoleon, Washington and Bismarck. “And how shall I restore my organs to proper position?” asks one of the ninety-nine. By so developing the body that it is at al! times erect, uplifted and expandied This will draw each organ Into the ’ position !a which it can do its best work. A glance at the pictures of the men I have mentioned will show you what I mean. As to practical methods, take the following exercise for five minutes four or five times a day: Place the feet together, arms at sides, head back, chest up and forward, abdomen in, knees back, weight on balls of feet—“the position of a soldier." Throw the weight as far forward as you can. Hold the position from half to one minute, then relax. Repeat the exercise from six to twelve times. Add to this reasonable habits of living. and in three months you will have gone far toward gaining the pose of power.—Dr. Latson in Chicago Journal.

Warding Off a Cold. The first point that must have struck almost every careful observer of catarrhal pneumonia is that in nine cases out of ten a cold is caught as the result, not of getting cold, but, on the contrary, of getting unduly hot This apparent paradox Is, of course, Intelligible enough when one considers that it 13 when the body is healed that the pores of the skin are opened and are then much more likely to take a chill than when they are closed by the ac-1 tlon of the cold. This is also the expl a-1 nation of the efficacy of a cold shower bath after taking a Turkish or even an ordinary hot. bath, as the sudden action of the cold water closes the pores and so protects the skin from the action of the air. The best possible preventive from catching cold is cold water, applied either in the form of a cold bath or, if that is considered too I drastic a measure, it will be found that merely bathing the neck in cold water, both in the early morning and also the last thing at night, does a great deal toward giving one immunity from colds.—Modern Society. Rossetti's Way. This striking picture of Rossetti appears in William Allington’s memoirs: “Rossetti walks very characterically, with a peculiar lounging gait, often trailing the point of his umbrella on the ground, but stiil obstinately pushing on and making way, humming the while with closed teeth in the intervals of talk, not a tune or anything like one, but what sounds like a sotto voce note of defiance to the universe. Then suddenly he will fling himself down somewhere and refuse to stir an inch farther. His favorite attitude—on his back, one knee raised, bands behind head. He very seldom takes particular notice of anything as he goes and cares nothing about natural history or science in any form or degree. It is plain that the simple, the natural, the naive, are merely insipid in his mouth. He must have strong savors in art, in literature and in life. About these and other matters Rossetti is chivalrously bold in announcing and defending his opinion, and he has the valuable quality of knowing what he likes and sticking to it.” A Hopeless Pessimist. At a gathering of men and women each one in turn was called upon to cite the attribute he or she considered Os greatest worth in the formation of character, each attribute to be followed by the name of some one who best embodied it. For instance, a man gave sterling integrity and as his example Abraham Lincoln; a woman, tact, with Mme. de Maintenon as illustration; another woman, loyalty, adding the name of George Washing- ( ton. At last it came the turn of a very i plain spoken woman, who in loud. I clear tones cried, “Honesty, and I know of no example, either living or ’ deed!” 1
