writes, to attract attention on the
streets of the I:Io1y City, for Jerusa-
lem is a meeting Mises of East and
West, and 'types of men and costumes
aro many. My curiosity, Mr, Thomas
says, was excited by a single Bedouin,
who stood out in sharp relief from all
his companions. He was wearing agal,
kufflelt, and abbe such as are worn in
the Near East only by native rulers,
and in his belt was fastened the short -
curved gold sword of a prince of Mec-
ca. I'Iis insignia marked him es a des-
cendant of the Prophet.

To the qukstion, "flow old is Niagee

plies varying by tens of thousands of
years. At first it was estimated that
the Niagara River came into existence
through, changes in the level of the
land around the Great Lakes about
fifty-five thousand years ago. ' Later
this was reduced to only twelve thous-
and
housand years. Lyell increased the esti-
mate again to thirty -live thousand
years, and still later other scientists
reduced it to about nine thousand
years,
At one period, it appears, many
thousands of years ago, the height of

The Master- Workman.
We have preached the doctrine of
the hardship of work until we ahnost
believe in it ourselves, and yet work
gives to life all that is to make life
wortib while, Work of itself has fur-
nished to mankind more happiness
than any other one tiling. All work
is not happiness, but life with no work
would be unbearable. My idea of the
real -aristocrat, the man who can
from within his own soul look down on
others, is the piaster workplan, no
matter what his line of work may be.
A jab well dyne gives pleasure to the
man who does it. There is happiness
in the pride of being a master work -

Saving Ships Single-flanded
Imagine standing in sea water at its
present temperature for five hours on
end! That was the ordeal of Ernest
Brown, and that was how he saved the
motor -lugger Glance from sinking,
says an English writer.
The Glance got into a fog outside
Plymouth Harbor and ran upon a rock.
Water 'mimed through the hole in tor-
rents. Brown plugged it with two
coats and stood on then.. l:Ie stuck
it out for five hears, when the boat
was at last towed into safety, By that
time the water was nearly up to his
armpits,
There are craft in plenty sailing the
seas to-day.which owe their existence
to the pluck or presence of mind of a
single individuual.
When the fishing -boat Marie was
sixty miles out in the North Sea, the
cabin was flooded by a big wave. The
water getting into . a hundredweight
dram of calcium carbide, caused it to
burst open. The released acetylene -
gas took fire and instantly the cabin
was in a blaze.
Skipper Aye leaped down into the
cabin, seized the red-hot drum, carried
it up on deck and flung it into the sea.
His hands and face were roasted raw,
but he saved his, ship.
Equally brilliant was the exploit of
the ellief engineer of the transport
rame
Rapedan. In the midst of an Atlantic
gale the dreaded cry of "Fire!" was
heard. The stores were ablaze, and
presently a drum of turpentine burst,
enveloping the ,engine -room Ill flames.Hose could not e brought to bear, and
to all appearance the ship was doom-
ed.
Down into the hell of flames dashed
the ebief engineer, and after stopping
the engines, turned on aII the avail-
able steam -cocks. He came plunging
out, blackened and scorched, and gave
orders to close ail hatches and open -

The steam extinguished the fire, and
the ship was saved,
These last two cases prove what
one man can do in a moment of fear-
ful emergency. Here is another type
of pluck:
On her way from Yucatan to Liver-
pool, with a cargo of log -wood, almost
the whole crew of the barque Aurora
went down with the dreaded beri-beri,
or sleeping sickness. The one man
who escaped the disease was the chief
officer, and for the last eighteen hun-
dred miles of the voyage he navigated
the barque practically single-handed.
There were three or four of the crew
just able to stand and help him short-
en sail, hut he was at the wheel night
and day, and in the end he brought the
ship and crew alike safe into port,

Rats a5 Food.
Doctor Kane, the Arctic explorer,
said that one of the worst curses In
the Far North were the rats that in-
fested his ship. Nevertheless, when
in want of other food, he was glad to
eat them ----sometimes chopped up and
frozen into tallow balls.
He wreee: "During the long winter
night Hans beguiled his hours of
watch by shooting rats with bow and
arrow. The repugnance of my com-
panions to share with me this table
luxury gave ine frequent advantage of
fresh meat soup, which contributed no
doubt to my comparative immunity to
scurvy."

Hedgehog Quills Useful.
Several years ago the mole sprang
into importance because its skin be -
cane fashionable for women's coats.
It is the turn now of another lowly
animal, the common hedgehog, to
come into prominence. Some one not
long ago discovered that hedgehogs'
quills Snake excellent needles for
phonographs—in fact they bring out
the sound ,more effectively than metal
needles. The walls of a hedgehog
quill are of a hard horny substance,
and the partly hollow interior con-
tains a pith.
The hedgehog prowls at night, and
runs with more agility than one would
Imagine its short legs and dumpy
body would permit. It has a stemma
of strong digestive power, eating the
bark of trees, earthworms, slugs,
snails; frogs, dead birds and eggs.
