TME “FROZEN TOES” AND
“SALS.”
A Seaforth “Army” Racket.
What could we do without tlio cranks

There’s some LhgyJm-vo within tlieir ranks
Who make theTeitrs from laughter run.
Tliqy’vo passed through mapy battlos bore, ■

Which caused the Captain to breathe freer
By slight concussions on his nose.
’Twa-, this way that the row commenced,
(Ycu’ve heard it,»all before, methinks)
The Captiiii sang sohle holy words
To the rollicking tiii’ie of “Captain Jinks.”
This set his audience in a roar,
The martial “ Cap ” ho then broke dow i,
The laugh increased_still more and more,
Its echoes rang throughout the town.

He fiercely shouted at the “ boyt.”
But they kept the advantage which they
had - . ' .
And‘ the night air resounded with tlieir
noise. -

\When “Alae” gently laid him out,
By a werniirecTecrsniftor, t ’ ... ...
Outlie Captain’s pretty snout.
AVhenTlieir leader down had fallen
Other ‘^Sals” came rushing quick,
Then the “Toes” sprang out' to meet them
And the blows fell-- last and’, thick.
Then came valiant “David,” like David.of

I’ll conclude with a word of advice to the

SNEEZED AND DIED.
Kenophon, in bis ‘AnabRais/ says
that when the Greeks were about to
cpiuuienco their celebrated retreat
after the death of Cyrus the Young
er, aqd as Xenophon was addressing
them frith these words: ‘We have
many reasons to hope for preserva
tion/ a soldier unfortunately sneezed’
t. The whole army thereupon invoked
Jupiter the Preserver. The orator
continued : ‘Since at the mention of
vour preservation Jupiter has sent
this omen/ thus turning the event
into an indication of success. The
Jewish account, as explained by the
Jlabbis, gives, however,”" a clearer
idea of the origin of the custom.
The Rabbis declare that there was
no disease or illness among men
until some time after the flood.
How, then, did men die in those
days? Simply -sneezed and died,
They say that Jacob, not fancying
tTiuTmode oFcrossing the dark river/
wished to give some warning, so that
parties could prepare for this mo
mentous moment.. For this purpose
he went and wrestjp.d wfth the angel.
His prayer was gianted ; he sneezed .
arid fell sick. Heretofore men had
sneezed' and died. Therefore, the
fact of Jacob’s sneez:ng .an^ surviv*
; ing.made a "great sensation, and ever
after’tlje act becriihd one of the im
portant phenomena of the human
system, and when men sneezed they
saluted and uttered some ejaculation
of well wishing. The Jews, accord-
inglyi when a person, indulges in a
sneeze, say I ‘Tobini Oliaiim’—a long
life to-you. T . ,
i , AMONG SAVAGES.
' ...^Traveler's.relate many incidents
regarding this custom. Speke and,
, Giant say that among so mg of the
nati.ves of Equatorial Africa they
could discover no trace, of any re
ligious ideas except in the Arabic
custom of uttering a prayer when a
• person sneezed. De Soto declares
that when an Indian Saoherri sneezed
savages around, him bowed down
and, prayed the sun for; his salvation.
In New* Zealand the priest is guided
by a sneeze when he" names an in
fant. He . repeats over a list of
names and vyheir the child sneezes'
the name then pronounced is select
ed. The Thugs of India ure without
doubt the most bloodthirsty people-
that everliyed. Yet, jri one respect,-
.they, are the most religious. They"
-are guided by a , bloody, goddess
• whom, they serve most zealously.
The goddess is supposed to give her
commands by omens and .signs, and
• one of these is a-sneeze. Were one
of the. victims of the Thngs, with a
strangling cord about his neck, to
suddenly awaken and utter a sneeze,
. his life would'.behaved. The victim,
would be regarded as sacred... The
Greet legend in reference to sneezing
: lakes this ‘ form : One day Prome
theus determined" to-inako a clay
statute. He wished to give it-life
and. mot ion. , Stnlie“slipped 7up - to
heaven one day, while, Minerva was
tiful girl waa born, which was the
tnode of returning thanks to Venus.
Thus, speaking of a beautiful woman,
the poet said : ‘The lovna had sneez.
ed at her birth/ The sweet little
poem of Acme and Svplimellus ex
presses the idea beautifully :
“Acme then her head reflecting,
Kissed her sweet youth's ebriate
eyes,
With her rosy lips connecting
Looks that'glistened with replies.
Thus, my life, my Septjmelius 1
Serve me, love, our only master•
One warm love flood seems to thrill
us,
Throbs it not in me the faster
fjhe said i “And, as before,
Love on thedeft hand aptly sneezed;
The omen Bliowed that he was
< " . pleased
To' give his blessing.”
The doctors, unwilling that effort,
spasmodic or otherwise, connected
with the human body, should be.
monopolized by common folks, con-*
aider sneezing as>a disease or symp
tom accompanying 'certain ailments
—that it is associated with whopp
ing cough, the bugbear of childhood,
asthma and*gout. It is' not unfirev
quently' a-symptom of hysteria. All
agree that sneezing is caused by soma
A catarrhal condition of the mucus
membrane is most common. Sneez
ing may be called the foster brother
of the hay fever. The medical men
- treat sneezing by a strong impression
on, the fifth nerve, a mustard poultice
to the back of the neck, or an emetic.
Sometimes.jcrcosote and iodjne va
pors are given, and dipping the head-
in cold water is zealously prescribed.,
by old women. Religious opposition
to the custom of saluting people
when they sneezed arose among the
Anabaptists in the beginning of the
lust century. They declared it was
a pagan .custom and would .'liave
none pf it ampng the faithful. Tra
dition had it^w.licn Cresar was pn
the. brink of the Rubicon he sneezed,
and, regarding it as a favorite qm’en,
crossed it, and the conquest of Gaul
followed.’ Those wild have read Xen
ophon’s .Memorabilia of the career
and’ habits of Socrates' remember
that lie claimed that he was infested
with a demon or spirit to whounhe
owed all.his wisdom. -Now Plutarch
says that (lie demon always sent
him characteristic warnings by means
of sneezes. • •

Baltimore, in its pastoral letter,

"dangerous traffic, and to embrace a
more becoming way of making a liv

that lie saw “so many of those pro

this mean and debasing business of'
selling liquor,” which he regarded as
one of the greatest Obstacles to the
growth of that religion in this coun

Burns, “is the recruiting officer of
the devil, of blasphemy, and’ of in*
fidelity. It is the duty, therefore
ot all who love God and the cliurdi
to .oppose tho influence of the
saloon.” “Let us see to it/* said

THE TIME TO SNEEZE. ‘ ■
, When to sneeze or wher^do spe.eze
seems to-be a- raatter of some inomenU’
among-the ancients? According to
Aristotle, . sneezing from noon to
midnight is good, and from night to
noon the.reverse; and another learn
ed sneezologist declares : ‘If any one
sneeze for three hights in. succession
it tnay be taken as-a sign that some
■ one will die in the house,’or some
other'calamity is close at ha.itd;;-.‘i^
Lancaster the old folk lore will have
jt that much, depends on the .day
when the sneeze is uttered.

A Startling Proposition.
“ ’The Sb. Catharines Journal says.-;
“This is the age of Joig undertaki ngs ';
buf few'sclierires have been proposed
more startling than the proposal to
drain Lake Erie and convert Buffalo,
Toledo arid Cleveland' into, inland
towns. 'Such, however, is the idea
broached,by Mr. Peter. Cameron, a
resident of Rochester. ‘. Iu a letter to
the U/twt ho points out that whilst
the bottoms, of all other ..lakes are on
the same plane, about 200 feet below,
the sea level, Erie’s bottom is about
500 "feet above sea level.' This is a
most extraordinary geological, fact,
and on^. which^ places Lake Erie in ■
fieiri^fetWdjjf *a widens3
ing of the channel connecting Lake
Huron with Lake Ontario.' The.lake . ’
covers a tract of country 250 miles by
60, witli an average , depth of 75 feet,
arid if it Were draified a magnificent
tract of alluvial farming land would
be revealed. This is Mr. Cameron’s
• plan-for the proposed .“improvement.”
The Cliff. At Niagara Falls'is 160 feet
high, the slope of the river bed above
the falls is about 60 feet. As the.
depth of Lake Erie is only 75 feet on
an average, it is iriain that a tunnel
■ ouxlra in-dug-into-Niagara’s cliff and
carried to the nearest deep point of
Lake Erie, at a sufficiently low-lpvel,
would in a short time carry off all the
Water. The magnitude 'rtf' such a
work may appear . insurmountable,
but Mr. Cameron says he knows coal
and tin mines in England that have a.
groat deal more tunneling in .them
and although the length of tho drain
might bo twenty or even 80 miles,Mit
coqld bo made at much less cost than
building of tho Welland ,ucaual. “Of
-Tj-OHi'srtlnHros’alt'riF tlio aocofuplish-
. merit of this schomo would be to
make Buffalo, Cleveland and Toledo
inland' cities. It would also utterly
obliterate Niagara Falls and the river
abovA-the.falls, hub on tho othet hand>
it would fay bare a tract of very ‘fer
tile land, much larger than tlio whole
of Scotland,, through._wlriclL^woulA
jlbw a majestic continuation of f>e;
troib river, that would disappear -into
the channel aforosaid, (and rushing
through tho bowels of earth for 20
miles or so," would reappear belching
forth from the cliff at Niagara.

The bulldog is an offshoot of the
shepherd’s dog. It undoubtedly was
first employed as a herdsman’s,dog,
being needed to herd cattle and pigs,
and to pin them when required ; un
like the shepherd’s dog,, which was
taught not to bjte his-charges, , The
rush of a halt wild bullock or pig
would be awkward for a herdsman
but for the tiinely intervention of the
‘herd’ or ‘bull’ Jog. The dog learned*
to drive or pin this" or. that beast to
order. Hence the old proverb, ‘Got
the wrong sow by the ear.’
