\ TSR R S R Sl e T e T o wat i PREFERRED TO LIVE ALONE Water-Hog Chose Lonely Existence In ? English Pond to the Oonfinei _ ment of a Menagerie. \ _ e : : i Two years ago a large and Intelligent water-hog from South America, tired of the local British menagerie which exploited him and his bretliren, crept away, and took up his abode in a pond at Manning’s heath, Sussex. There he lived g hermit-like existence, swimming and diving, or scrambling along the fringe of the pond by way of exercise, and harming no méan, until quite recently a young foal disputed his claim to the lake. The three-feet-long water-hog had the Impudence to chase the foal, and suffered death at the hands of a gamekeeper. for his misdemeanor. The hog’s life in the Sussex pond is regarded as all the more strange because few of his species have’ purvived the English climate. Such creatures abound on the river banks in South America, and, while possessing the skin and bristles of an ordinary hedgehog, can swim and dive like a fish, often remaining under water for lengthy periods. They have long, curiously molded teeth, which enable them to grind to a pulp the vegetable matter that forms their sustenance, and allow it to pass down the very narrow passage of their throat. They bark and growl like dogs, and are altogether unpleasant = animals when roused. - The Manning pond specimen was regarded by the villagers as quite harmless, however, and they deplored its untimely end.—London Mail. .

COURTE§fANIOF LOWLY ORIGIN| Lady Hamilton Rose to High, If Anomalous, Position, - Solely - Through Her Great Beauty. s 5 PP § Lady Hamilton, who, during the latter part of the Eighteenth century, was a world figure, and whose activ-. ities did much to change history, was born of a hlacksmith and a cook. The time was to come when she was bedfellow with the queen of Naples, and close friend to kings and princes, as well as the wife of the British ambassador to Italy, and mistress of the great Nelson, but it was as Emma Lyon that she began her career of mastering power and authority by her woman’s beauty and wiles. ; Whil§ walking -along the street at ther age of sixteen she saw an old schoolfellow in the hands of a press gang that was about to convey him aboard a British ship bound for forced service. She went to, Captain Payne,’ commander of the ship, and begged his release. The captain agreed—on a condition. The girl accepted it and gave up her honor to save_ her friend. The captain paid dearly for his act shortly afterward, as the young beauty went about the town charging up bills: of enormous amounts, and he was forced to settle. ;

; Pioneers' Prairie Bunk. ‘ "~ The necessity of finding a more convenient and ' comfortable .place than the ground upon which to sleep produced the “prairie bunk.” This onelegged bedstead, now a piece of furniture of. the past, was improvised by the ploneer in a unique manner. A forked - stake was driven into the ground at a proper distance from the corner of the room and upon it poles, usually of hickory, were lald reaching from each wall. These poles, where they touched the walls, rested in the openings between the logs or were driven into auger- holes. Upon these poles slats of clapboard were placed, or-linden bark was interwoven from pole to pele, Sometimes: an old-fash-ioned “cord bed” was made by using basswood bark for the cord. On this framework the housewife spread her straw tick or piled the luxurious mound of her homemade feather bed. Such a sleeping place was usually known as a “prairie bedstead,” but sometimes it was called a “prairie rascal.”—Mildred J. Sharp, in the Palimpsest. : a g

Thermometars Grow Old. - Even thermometsrs become old, and consequently inaccyrate with age, mercurial instruments reading too high and spirit instruments too low. In the former case the bulb appears to shrink, thus forclng the quicksilver too far up the stem. This gradual shrinkage is supposed to be due to the fact that the external pressure on the bulb may be considerably higher than the internal pressure, the air as far as ‘possible having been removed before the glass is sealed. - : On the other hand, the spirit thermometer is sealed with the bulb covered in a freezing mixture, in order to lock up in the glass as much air as possible. The instrument thus starts with ithe internal pressure which in time appears to ba reduced either by expansion of the glass under the internal pressure or by leakage. o

Beard and Mustache Defended. Dr. Arjan Das, in the Indian Medical Journal, deplores the fashion for cropped hair which is gaining in India. He says ‘hair is an additional ornament for a rich woman, and often the only ornament of the poor. The shaving of mustache and the epilation of nasal hairs is bad, as they prevent the introduction of even minute particles ,of dust entering the nose. Worse still lis the increasing practice of shaving the beard, as this protects the throat ‘and hinders dental neuralgia. Shaving has become the fashion both with Hindus and Mohammedans, though abearded m among the latter is shown mf::}'m_._h_- il . R i Sy

WOMAN BEGAN LONG DISPUTE Shakespeabe-Bacon Controversy - Had Its Orinl_n in Book Published. by American Author. : ; "me'lonzw‘drawn-ou-t controversy over the authorship of the Shakespearean plays had its origin in a remrakable book written by an American woman, Delia B,acq‘n, a native of Tallmadge, 0., with a preface written by her friend, Nathaniel Hawthorne. She was a woman of intense application and capacity for esoteric study and her book was the product of a lifetime spent in the feverish pursuit of her hobby. Her book was entitled “The Philosophy of the Plays of Shakespeare Unfolded,” copies of which are now rare, as it has long been out of print, Y 0 :

" The boog is written in a veéry laborious style, difficult to read. Some of the sentences are three to four hundred words long, but the entire work shows evidences of intense study of the works of the poet and a masterly knowledge of the history of Shakespeare’s perfod.. 4 e

" The Intense obsession with which she pursued her theories brought her life-to a tragic end. Becoming convinced that Shakespeare’s secret' was hidden in his tomb at Stratford, she went to rerlde there to confirm her researches. She was found one midnight at the tomb, muttering incoher-, ently, and evidently making preparations to open the tomb in search of concealed manuscripts which she believed had been interred with the body of the poef, beneath the cryptic inscription, ' “Good friend, for Jesus’ sake forbear to dig the bones inclosed here.” She was removed to an asylum,

DAZZLED OLD LONDON TOWN Becky Wells, Beautiful Madcap, WellKnown Character During the : Reign of George lil. il e Becky Wells, beautiful English act ress, journalist and author, was bor% in 1759, married ‘at eighteen, and a few months later saw her husband desert her for her pridesmaid. She. went to London and won success by her beauty when she went on the stage. She took up with Edward Topham, an eccentric, and they established a newspaper that thrived on scandal, L s

Becky took to wearing furs in summer and muslins in winter, which perhaps stamps her as a woman in ad-, vance of her age. She hired hackney coaches to - drive ‘her to Oxford or Cambridge for her health, and her vagaries were the talk of the town. She imagined that she was irresistible and took it into her head to infatuate George 111, the dull king whose only redeeming virtue was his apparent faithfulness to his wife. She was thmh; into jail by her creditors, and there she infatuated a Moor, ‘son of the prime minister of Morocco, Who had been sent to prison for contempt of court: They were wedded in jail with festivities that lasted a week and which co?t the bridegroom $2,500. Her husband, Joseph Sumbel, then secured his release by paying his brother $50,000 and he also paid Becky's creditors and took her with him. ' ‘

' _ Tricking Fate. Every Hindoo must have a son to perform the proper rites in his behalf so that he may be released from purgatory after death, says Asla Magazine. - Especially cursed, therefore, is he whose fate it is to be sonless. One such, a -prahmin, propitiated the god Vishu and obtained a boon. He asked for a son, but, since a son was not in the man’s fate, Vishu refused. Twice this happened, but the third time the Brahmin asked that his merriments might be shared by gods and men allke. This was granted. He then went home, locked his door and, with his wife, began to sing and dance Thereupon, all the gods and men, by the terms of the boon, were compelled ¥ sing and dance with If&, ‘and’ the business of the universe was brought to a standstill. “Stop,” begged the gods. “Only when you grant me a son,” answered the Brahmin, And he had his way. : ;

: Plant Care. : The room in which palms and geraniums are kept should not be allowed to get cooler than 40 or 45 degrees. The palm should be placed in a partly shaded spot, but never where it may come in contact with gas or cold draughts. -It should never be placed in the direct rays of the sun.. The leaves, should occasionally be sponged with fisholl soap and warm water. It should not be too well watered, and perfect drainage is necessary to successful culture. The geranium requires plenty of sunlight and its roots should be kept moist. It should be sprayed with tepld water occasionally to keep the follage bright and green and prevent dust from ledging on the leaves.

“SABBATH DAY” NOT SUNDAY

Modern Writers Display an Amazing Carelessness in Their Misuse o of the Wor,dg. G

In English there is not a more deflnite word than sabbath, yet it is used with an amazing carelessness as a synonym for Sunday. The writers and translators of the New Testament use sabbath correctly, says & writer in the Brooklyn Eagle.

It is always Hebrew and in no instance is it associated with the New Testament dispensation—now universally known as Christianity. Indeed the apostles were severely rebuked by the Jews for breaking the sabbath. Christians: cannot break the sabbath, for they do not have it/ to break.

‘Sabbath and Sunday are observed ‘on separate days, but this is not necessary, as astronomy shows that the identity of days from year to year is impossible; since the year and day are incommensurable. The leap years show that any given date varies a day; even this does not correct the dates, as other corrections—the centurial leap years—become necessary. There is a still deeper reason for discarding the severity of the sabbath, namely, our Eeven-day week is uncounted thousands of years older than the book of Genesis. BEvidence is very strong that it was founded on quartering the sideredl month—the “true month.” Long before anything even approaching astronomy arose man noticed that the moon slowly moved into another group of stars-each night, and by rough eye méasuremefxt, completed her revolution in 28 days—"the 28 mansions of heaven” of the Chinese and Japanese., = |

COVERED HEADS IN CHURCH Before the Year 1661 Men Did Not Remove Their Hats During - - Religlous Services. ~ About 1661 an agitation commenced to have men remove their hats in church—Pepys makes gentle fun of it. The custom was first to remove the hat to cover the eyes in prayer, and later it was taken off altogether. The introduction of the wig helped the custom—for it proved difficult to keep one’s hat on over a tousled mass of false curls. This also led to large hats with plumes going out of style. 00l : s :

Then, instead of wearing hats Indoors, men went to the other extreme; and often carried them in their hands when out of doors. The Puritans. in England continued to . wear thelr broad-brimmed hats, however, indoors and out. - ; T e

' Men’s " hats and clothing were changed with the French Revolution; wigs went out, and then with the rise of Napoleon, dress became military in style. In 1815, during the Restoration period, arose the “stovepipe hat,” and breeches, at the same time began to be:worn to the ankla, -
