His Wife's Share.
- A doctor, whose practice is largely,
among the mill hands of his locality,
tells an amusing story at the expense
of an old Irishman.
Both he and hia wife were, taken
t with severe colds, which threatened to
f develop into influenza, and the doctor
- advised quinine and whiskey as an
antidote.
s "You must both take it,' he said.
e "Take it every three hours—two
grains of quinine and a little whis-
key."
• I The next day he called again. The
' man was up and about, but his wife
1 was in bed.
"Did you fallow my instructions?"
asked the doctor.
"Ta the leter," replied the husband.
"How rnuoh quinine have you left?"
was the next question.
"Sure, 1 t'ink she have taken th'
whole av it," said the man.
"And didn't you take it too?" asked
the doctor.
"Niver a bit," was the reply. "It

'A Strange Bit of Natural
History. .
From a Nile station in the Su.dan
a British offi.'ar reports a remarkable
bit of superstition or natural history,
he does not pretend to say which. Be-
ing ott on a huating.expedition with a
party of Sudanese, he came upon the
body ef a giraffe that had been killed
some thirty-six or forty-eight hours
before, and, as the wounds ,showed, by
a lion. Upon. asking his servants why,
if a lion ha.d killed it, he had not eaten
it, they smiled as,if to say that he was
evidently new to the Sudan and point-
ed, out that the giraffe had fallen and
still lay on its left side. They then ex-
plained that if, when a lian strikes, his
game, it falls on its right sde he eats
it, but if on its left side he leaveit
untouched. Other Sudanese with
wham he discussed the matter told
him the same thing. The Englishman
admits that the natives, may have been
"spoofing" hirii and the belief may be
only a superstition; but he is inclined
to think otherwise and to believe that
the natives have hit upon a fact of na-
tural history that white men had not
-discovered.

The Romance of Rubber
An English chemist named Priestley
christened caoutchouc rubber because
he found it wo,uld rub out pencil
marks, a Scotchman discovered a
method of making waterproof fabric
from Priestley's rubber and named it
for hiinself Mackintosh, and Charles
Goodyear stumbled on the process
which gave us the autoinobile tire.
The discovery of ?ubber, or caout-
chonc, is, attributed to Columbus, who
reported that he had found the natives
of Haiti • playing with balls that
bounced. Priestley, the great English;
chemist, Sound, while experimenting
with the substance, that it would erase
lead pencil. marks. For want of a bet-
ter narae he dubbed it rubber, end the
name has stuck a.nd is used almost ex-
clusively in English-speaking coun-
tries.
