Country Life in Americe. They ' are not. quite so long as the common grey mouse and much more slender, They are spot- ted black and white at each cud of their bodies and are clear white in the mid - 416. They whirl around on their four feet as if On a pivot. Sometimes stopping and reversing the direction. lerequeetly 1 see two or three of them going, around to - gather in a large cocle. Although they waltz sometimes as long as five Minutes without rest, they appear never to get dizzy. They can, if they choose; min in straight line, but they seldom do; In - steed of running away when disturbed or frightened they begin to waltz. They come out of their nests about sundown, and waltz until nearly midnight. Then they go bade to their nests to sleep. One of the curious things about them is their fighting. The waltz until they run into each other, when they bite, squeal, jump into the air -and then, start waltzing again. They keep this up until they are . seriously injured, sometimes having their tails and legs bitten off and their skins torn. There are several theories as to the reason they can whirl around in this way and yet not get dizzy. One is that it is because of a, disease of the brain that they inherit. I think that no one knows the real reason. 1 Minard.'s .L-----•ee-st---e--iniment cures Diphtheria. lie Never Smiled Again. (Chicago News.)

Snow. At various time it is recorded that there has been "blood, on the face of the moon." Some old, chronicles tell of showers of blood, which, however, are not well authenticated. The "bloody I snow," on the other hand, is an actual thing. Snow is sometimes found in polar and Alpine regions, where it lies unineited . from year to year, and the annual fall is ' small, colored red by the presence of in- numerable small red plants. In its native state the plaint consists of brilliant red globules on a gelatinous mass. Red snow was observed by the ancients, a. passage in Aristotle referring to it; but it 'at- tracted little or no attention until 1760, when Sa.ussure observed it in the Alps and concluded that it Was due' to the pollen of a pleat. It was also noticed by the Arctic expedition under Captain Ross on Baffin's E,w shore on a. range of cliffs, the red col et penetrating to the depth of twelve feet.

During the past month there were 682 deaths from pneumonia in Greater New York. Of these, 461 were III Manhattan and the Bronx and 221 in the boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens and. Richmond. By far the greater number of these deaths were in what are known as apartment house districts. Pllysi- clans who have been interviewed. on the subject of "the modern flat as a cause of pneumonia" give divergent opinions, but nearly all of them state that the tendency to overheating the sleeping apartment and lack of ventilation un- doubtedly are increasing the inroads of the disease. Dr. T. Mitchell Pruden, of the Commission on Pneumonia, able that it is probably true that there were fewer eases of pneumonia before the period of steam -heated apartment houses, but statistics are deceptive, and. the qu'estion whethei• modern luxury paves the way for the inroads Of pneu- monia is one that requires investigation before it is discussed. --New York corre- spondent Philadelphia Ledger. - et • se Millard's Liniment Cures 'Colds, etc. e.

The parish clerk shows not a little pride in this relic and tells its story with relishoe During , the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the country parsons were accustomed to spend much of their time hunting with their country squires. Oftentimes the . fox got more attention than the sermon on the following Sunday. Such was the ; case with the parson who left the sad- dle stool behind him as a. relic of the' days of fox-hunting parsons. He was a good deal more at home in the saddle than in the pulpit, so in order to intro- duce some of the 'life and spirit into his discourses which he felt while in the hunting field, the reverend gentleman had this saddle stool made. It was placed in the pulpit before the parson mounted the steps. Once astride. this hobby the parson was able to read!' a much. higher degree of enthusiasm and eloquence than he could have unmounted.
