Whistler Not Always ... Regarded With Favor . Whistiifig 1s forbidden in Iceland, ‘where it is_regarded as a breach of the divinpe law. But whistling is regarded with disfavor in other places as well. In the dressing room of a theater, for example, it dooms a play if anyone whistles within hearing of the players who are “making up” for the first performance, according to a very old theatrical superstition. On shipboard you must not whistle unless you want to bring a gale of wind. You may whistle just a little in a calm, if you wish for a bit of wind, but sailors generally belleve you are likely to get much more than you want. 2 . | ; . Whistling after dark s regarded as unluckly In some parts, while miners hold that at no time of day should one whistle in a mine; dolng so s sure to bring ou a cave-in, an explosion, or some other form of disaster. “Among the races which resent all whistling are the Arabs. They say that it is Inspired by the ‘evil one,” and that it takes 40 days to purify the mouth of a whistler. Five years ago the governor of Guam, the Amierican island possession In the Pacific, issued -an edict against whistling on that island—presumably in deference to the prejudice of .the natives against the practice.—Grit. : )

Gatherings Not Only ~ for Trade Purposes . While the natives of Ethiopla represent a rather high order of intelligence they do not seem to be able to break -away from thelr old traditions and their old methods. The market is the medium of exchange of news and views as well as of commodities, and market day. ia'a treat that the native does not miss if it can be avoided. - The Inhab--itants of the highlands bring - their grain and similar products down to some large plain which is recognized as the “market,” and there they meet the natives of the lowlands who have brought their cotton. The latter is the basis of all exchange and barter. They have money, but the value of the cotton regulates the value of the money. Salt also is highly esteemed. The coins made use of all bear the date 1780, no matter how recent their origin may have been. The date s regarded as evidence of their valldity and a coln remains in service until the date Is worn off, ufter which no one will accept 1t for anything.—HExchange. =~

Glaciers

-You: liked the: music Instruments that. glaciers made, but no songs were ever.so grand as those of the glaclers ‘themselves, no falls so lofty as those which poured from brows and chasmed mountains of pure dark ice. Glaclers made the mountains and ground corn for all the flowers, and the forests of silyer fir; made smooth paths for human feet until the sacred Slerras have becoime the most approachable of mountains. . . . The primary moun.tain waves, unvital granite, were soon carved“‘to- beauty. They bared the lordly ‘domes and fashioned the clustering spires; smoothed godlike mountain brows and shaped lake cups for erystal waters; wove myriads of mazy ‘eanyons and spread them out like lace: ‘«John Muir.

Aged Students

Cato at eighty, took it into his venerable head to learn Greek- and Plutarch, almost as late .in life,.learned Latin. - Theophrastus began his work on the characters of men at ninety. His literary labors- were ended only by death. Socrates learned to play on musical Ingtruments when well advanced in life. Colbert, the famous French statesman, returned at sixty to his Latin.and law studies, and the great Doctor Johnson applied himself to Dutch but & few years before his death. Tlien there is the now forgotten Marquis de St. Aulaire, who was once regarded as a remarkable prodigy. At the age of seventy he began to write poetry and contemporaries declared that his verses were “full of fire, delicacy and sweetness.”

+ - .Slow. Growths of Oaks | ‘England’'s famed -oaks are disappearing.: - Many - oaks were cut dewn purM;tlge‘ war, as the wood was urgently needed.

The tree is almost a rarity :now in some places.

French Literary Men - Dispute Over Unicorn Was there ever such an animal as the unicorn? Its existence has been testified to by no less authoritative walters than Aristotle and Pliny, and even In 1877 the members of the French academy, including the dlstinguished names of Renan and Viector Hugo, were so doubtful on the subJect that in their dictlonary they gave the ambiguous definitlon that, according to the most general opinion, the unicorn never existed. But the present members of the academy, still at work on the new edition of the famous dietionary, have tried to settle the question for once and all. The unicorn, say .the immortals, {8 a fabulous animal of antiquity. : The French press refuses to accept the dictum as flnal. Why, queries Andre Billy, a well-known writer, should the members of the academy, counting not a single naturalist in their ranks, be allowed to settle the queéstion? And, in the century of radium and the wireless, why should we deny the testimony of Pliny and Aristotle on the existence of a beast remarkable only in that it had a horn on its forehead?—Paris Letter.

Human Ruminants Not - Unknown to History -The first case of a human ruminant reported in a sclentific journal was that of Robert Gill, a cobbler of Dorsetshire, whose death was reported in the British Annual Register under date of October 1, 1767. : ; ; In ancient times and in the Middle ages men who chewed the cud were apparently very far from rare, but modern science would be prone to dismiss such tales were they not supported by evidence of more recent time. Roger Gill died after suffering “great tortures” due to the loss of his strange faculty. : Glll usually began his second chewing a quarter or half an hour, sometimes later, after dinner, when every morsel came up successively sweeter and sweeter to the taste. The chewing continued about an hour or more, and sometimes would leave him for a little while, “in which case he would be slck ‘at his stomach.” Many other and later instances might be cited of men who have been “brother to the ox” in the possession of this faculty.— Chicago Journal: :

Plow as Wedding Guest

" The recent appearance of tractors has created great excitement in isolated villages of Turkestan, Central Asia. The- mullahs, or priests, are strongly opposed to the invention, which they call “shaitan omach,” or “the devil’s plow,” and they utter dark prophecies of crop failures and other disasters that will follow its use; but the Turkestan peasants take kindly to the tractor after they realize its superiority over their primitive wooden, oxdrawn plows.' : One case Is reported in which a Turkestan peasant insisted that the tractor should be present at his marriage, as a sort of honored guest.- -

Snake Fares Well in Japan

While laborers were at work in the grounds of the imperial palace in Tokyo, they came across a live snake, 80 large that they first believed it was a log and started to move it. The reptlle came to life and the workmen scattered. . However, they could have done nothing anyway, as the court officials ordered that the crawler not be needlessly disturbed and t@ emphatically declared there woulé he no snapke hunt., The snake, Japanese beHeve, is the spirit of the anclent fortress that was once on the site where it was found, ard if let alome will harm no one. -

The leading tribe of the southern division of ‘the Athapascan stock of North American Indians was the Navajo or Tennal, which was the name used by themselves. Since first known they bave occupied the land on and south of the San Juan river, in northern New Mexico and Arizona, and extending into the states of Colorado and Utah. They were surrounded on all sides by the cognate Apache tribes, except on the north, where they met the tribes of the Schoshonean family. At present the Navajo are on the reservation bearing their name in Utah, New Mexico and Arizona. :

New Egg-Drying Process

. Chemijcal advance has now devel oped a process, already in commercial use, whereby large numbers of eggs can be kept for {indeflnite periods -without the use of cold storage or preservatives, and which, it is said, will have a material effect upon the seasonal egg markets of the country. The new process produces perfectly dried eggs In the form of a powder. They will keep Indefinitely and can be used for almost any form of cooking. : v

The Approach of a Storm. ‘The following - papers were composed and written by the following pupils of the Sixth grade Ligonier dated March 16, Mary Lyon, Rosemary Bourie, Junior Robinson; - : In the the distance there was a low rumbling that told us a storm was near. * v : People hurried out to gather in clothes that were hanging on ghe line, or toys that were lying on the ground It grew dark and the clouds seemed to look angerly down on the earth, Across the lake came the rain. Soon it. reached the North shore. It grew blinding and the wind blew with mighty strength. The waves dashed upon the shore, and drew into the lake a few scattered toys that had not been gathered up. Every moment the clouds grew darker, and every moment, the thunder grew louder. Streaks of lightning flashed across the sky and a crash told us that some elderly treg had fallen. Now and then twigs crashed and fell to the ground. A half an hour ended this storm. It soon grew quiet and calm again but fallen twigs and. branches showed that there had been a storm recently. Birds that had sought shelter now come out and proceeded to sing. Everybody was busy“ again while boats skimmed over the sparkling water.—Mary Lyon. : | One day in a cottage on a high cliff overlooking a lake I saw a storm approaching. . ; The clouds hung heavy in the sky,. and were leaden in color. They roll, ed and tumbled as they came looking like they were in a great hurry. It started to thunder and the lightEning flashed.” The trees about bent to the ground as if sumitting to some Lhigher power than themselves. The birds hurridly flew to their nests; all was quiet but for a low rumbling ofl thunder occasionally. : In a few minutes it started to rain, large drops tell. The rain came down in a slanting direction as the wind was blowing in gales. It did not rain long and in about in half hour the sun shown and-the songs of birds filled the air. All was tranquil ; and presently peopleé again went down to the lake shore.—Rosemary Bourie The storm came from the west. The wind. was seen to blow black clouds in a ‘rolloing way very rapidly across the sKky. ; Suddenly the sky seemed to open and a streak of lighting came through. At the same instant a low rumbling was heard in the west. - Then it suddenly increased-to a loud rolling like a giant bowling. The wind struck the* trees making them bow. Sometimes breaking the branches. At the same time making a hollow sound like a huge man sighing. Immediately the birds by instinct sought the shelter of their homes or a roof. Not one of them singing but chirping with fright. Af last the rain came in a slanting divection .and weting everything it could. In a while the streams were rivers and the rivers lakes. : - It only ended when the wind carried the clouds well on its journey.—Junioy Robinson.
