Tri SUGAR CANE.
Vire Iiavo Borrowed It irons 1n41*,
Its Native Home.
1'he sugar cane and its uses have
Leen known in India, its native home,
Vont time immemorial. It is perhaps
the earliest source from which sugar
las produced, and all other nodes of
manufacture have been borrowed from
or based on it. The early classical
'writers knew sugar vaguely as "honey
of canes." To the Greco-Roman world
tate sugar cane was the reed which the
alrvrartty Indians delighted to chew and
trona which they extracted a mysteri-
ous sweetmeat.
It was the Arabs—those great car-
ders between the east and west—who
Introduced the cane in the middle ages
Into Egypt, Sicily and the south of
$pain, where it flourished abundantly
alntii West Indian slavery drove it out
of the field for a time and sent the
trade in sugar to Jamaica and Cuba.
1':aatly in the sixteenth century the
came was taken from Sicily to Madeira
and the Canaries. Thence it found its
enn to Brazil and Alex1eo, to Jamaica
and Haiti. Cane sugar was well
known in Italy about the second cen-
tury and has been common in England
mince the Tudor period. The strenuous
,days of great Elizabeth bed sugar for
their sack, and ginger 'was hot i' the
mouth, too, as we all well remember.—

THE ONION CURE.
A Beme4y Which Is Claimed to Be
Infallible In Pneumonia.
This remedy, which is claimed to be
int'allible, was formulated ruauy years
ago by a well known physician in New
England, who never lost a patient by
this scourge: Take six or ten onions,
I according to size, and chop fine. Put
in a large spider over a hot fire, add-
Ing about the same quantity of rye
heal and vinegar to form u stiff paste.
Stir thoroughly and simmer five or
,ten 'minutes. I'ut into n cotton bag
large enough to cover the lungs and
I apply to the chest just as hot as the
!patient can hear it. In about ten min-
utes change the poultice, and thus eon -
few hours the patient will be out of
danger. And just here a word of cau-
tion. In applying this or any other hot
poultice care must be exercised not to
let the patient get chilled during the
changing process, Have the hot ono
all ready to go on before the cooling
one is removed, and make the ex-
changes so swiftly and deftly that
there is not a moment's exposure of
the body surface, which becomes ex-
ceedingly sensitive to a chill,

POSITION DURING SLEEP.
Slightly liaise the Head and Lie on
the Right Side.
The main object of sleep is that every
organ of the body should have perfeet
rest. The brain, the lungs and the
heart have been, not inappropriately,
called the "tripod• of life," as upon
them b the bangsprosperity
6 of the whole
frame; bence we slightly raise the
bead to check the flow of blood to the
brain and more or less quickly find out
the position of greatest -ease for lungs
andheart,
ea t
This will be founde
bysleeping in for
P g
the greater part of the
time on the
right side. for nearly two-thirds of the
heart Is on the left of the medial line,
and the apex points closely to the
smaller left lung; hence the fullest and
freest play possible should be given to
the left side.
A quiet pulse, diminished respira-
tion and refreshing rest are all com-
bined when open windows, moderate
warmth and uuchnflng heart work to-
gether. It is often best to court sleep
on the left side and turn to the right
before going off.
A Philanthropist.
Modern advertising can cope even
with the etiquette of courts, A Lon-
don journal tells us that .a young
American woman wished to be pre-
Sented at the court of the king of
Saxony. The high ofcials, having in-
quired into her social standing at home,
objected. They represented to her that
the king could scarcely receive the
daughter of a retail bootmaker. The
young woman cabled home and told
her father the situation. The next
morning she received his answer:
"Can't call it selling. Practically
giving them away. See advertise-
ment "
That solved the difficulty. She was
presented as the daughter of an emi-
nent philanthropist.
A Doctor's Visit.
More patients become dissatisfied be-
cause they are not visited often enough
than because they are required to pay
for excess of services. One of the most
grateful families that I ever knew was
one that had just paid a young medical
grafter for fourteen visits Made be-
tween it and 11 p. in. of a single day,
when two visits would have been am-
ply sufficient. Small wonder that some
of the younger men yield to this temp-
tation and shortly become known to
the profession as repeaters. But these
soon lose caste.

JAPAN'S GOD OF WAR.
flaehiman, Strange to Say, Is a hover
of the Peneetnl Doh..
Ilaehhhmtn, the god of war in Japan,
strange to say, loves n dove, a bird
symbolicaal in the west of peace and
not of war. Go to any temple or shrine
where Ilachlinan is worshiped, and
you will and a great many doves coo-
ing either on the roof of the temple or
on the ground below. The tablet on
which the name of the god is inscribed
begins with the idlograph of "Hecht,"
the two strokes of which are intendet;�
to picture a pair of doves, the femnje
on the right and the male on the left -
Doves are Hachiman's favorite birds,
messengers by which he sends good
tidings of peace and love.
I3achiman never fights merely to sa-
tiate his thirst for blood. He fights
battles for peace, He never makes
sacrifices of lives so that be may glory
over the conquered. IIe is a great en-
emy of tyrants and oppressors. He is
ever ready to help those who are op-
pressed and persecuted. He fights
wars of justice. He wishes to see jus-
tice done on all sides. His banners
bear inscriptions conveying the thought
of righteousness and justice.
Miserable will be the fate of any
Who venture to violate the peace and
welfare of the world, for Hachtman in
his righteous wrath will crush down
such a one under his mighty feet h

Polar Plants.
Climate affects the inhabitants of
the seaust
j as It does those of the
laud. As arctic land plants cannot
flourish at the equator, so in the Arc-
tic anti Antarctic oceans marine pinnts
are found which are unable to survive
in warm water. Among the most re-
markable of these cold water plants
are the laminariaceae, a kind of sea -
weeds which sometimes attain a gi-
gnntic sire, exceeding in length the
longest climbing plants of the tropical
forests and developing huge stems like
the trunks of trees. Investigations
have shown that these plants flourish
In the coldest waters of the polar seas
and that they never advance farther
from their frigid homes than to the
limits of "summer temperature" in the
ocean. The genial warmth destroys
them, just as a polar blast shrivels the
(lowers of a tropical garden.

There is most probably an important
dietetic difference between two eggs
the yolk of one of which $s a very pale
yellow color and that of the other S.
rich, almost reddish color. It is a nae
torlous. fact that the eounti7 produced
egg may usuelty be placed Mader the
latter description, while the egg pro,
dined by the hen that Is under en nn,
healthy and limited environment sheave
au anaemic color, generally a very pale
yellow. The eggs of wild birds—as,
for example, the plover ---show a yolk of
a Melt reddish color.
The substance which contributes col.
or to the yolk of the egg is iron, just as
it le iron which gives color to the
blood, anti there seems to be little
doubt that the iron compound in the
yolk of the egg is of a similar nature
to that of the blood. It is easily as-
similated. and eggs are regarded as a
suitable food for the anaemic person,
As they preseztt a ooncentrated and
generally easily digested form of nu-
triment rich in iron. The iron cozn-
peund of the egg has, inject, been
termed a "haeumtogezi," because it is
probable that from it the blood of the
chick is derived. The amount of iron
in the yolk of an egg would appear to
increase with the intensity of its color,
and there can be little doubt that the
maximum is reaelied to the richly col,
orad yolk of the egg produced by a
fowl existing in healthy suvoundings,
for then its processes of nutrition would
be Working under very favorable con-
ditions. As an article of diet, there-
fore, the egg should be judged not by
the color of its shell, but of the yolk,
which should be of a rich reddish rath-

Beetle Soldiers and Sailors.
There are beetles in England, of the
family known.ito scientists as telephor-
idae, that are popularly called soldiers
and sailors, the 'red species being called
by the former name and the blue spe-
cies by the latter. These beetles are
among the most quarrelsome of insects
and fight to the death on the least
provocation. It has long been the cus-
tom among English boys to catch and
set them fighting with each other.
They are as ready for battle as game-
cocks, and the victor will both kill and
eat his antagonist.—St. Nicholas.

The Telltale.
That was an embarrassing position
in which a fashionable New York wom-
an found herself recently. She was
invited to a wedding, but dad not think
either of her hats was good enough for
the occasion. So she visited her mil -
1 liner's and had an exceedingly costly
I affair sent home on trial. She wore it
'at the wedding and the next day drove
to the milliner's and returned it, saying
it did not suit. It happened that the
batmakor, who quite understood the
situation, had been similarly tried sev-
eral times of late. "Did you not wear
this hat at the Blink wedding yester-
day?" she asked bluntly. Taken by
!surprise, the society women owned up,
but asked, "Ilow did you know?" "Oh,
• it was quite easy. I see several grains
of rice in the folds of the lace."

rica says: "A. rondo chief in very old-

Wonid kill one of his brothers and
Wash in his blood to strengthen him-
self and then would keep his medicines
in the skull of the dead brother, a
practice which raised the power Of the
medicine to the 'nth,' as mathemati-
cians would say. If a warrior of con-
spicuous bravery is kliled in war his
body is made into medicine and admin-
istered to the young men to make them
brave, a practice which may well have
been the basis of cannibalism"
The Dog WhIpper.
An old church official in England
was the dog whipper, who was em-
ployed in driving or removing dogs
from the various churches and who is
often alluded to in vestry accounts, as,
for example, "paid the dog whipper 10
shillings;" "to \Viddow Sandys the
year's saliery for (dog) whipping 5 shit-
Mtgs." Implements known as dog
tongs were also used by these dog
whippers, many of them being spiked
at the end and capable of giving a
cruel grip. They are still preserved in
tonne of the old churches.

HABERDASHER.
Tile Word 1s Supposed to Meats
Thing of Little Value.
The word haberdasher first appears
in the language as coming from haper-
tas, the name of a fabrie mentioned in
the Liber Albus along with wool, can-
vas and felt, as subject to customs
duty, about 1419. A parallel and al-
most contemporary list has Naber-
tasslzerie.
The word is supposed to mean things
of little value—small wares such as
buttons and tapes. Skeet derives it
from the Icelandic haperbask—trum-
pery, pedlars' wares. In a register of
burials of Ware In 1053 we have one
entry; "Melted Watkins, London,
haberdasher of harts," probably this
being the first material of which hats
were made.
Clambers gives another meaning to
the word. He says• it is derived from
the ancient name for a neck cloth,
berdash, which is derived from beard,
and tache, a covering.
Hapertas was originally a cloth ot
a particular kind, the width of which
was settled by Magna Cllarta. Hence
a haberdasher was the seller of haper-
tasserle.—London Answers.
THE LUDDITES.
Authors of the Famous Stocking
Frame Riots In England.
Early in 1511 bands of distressed
stocking knitters in Nottinghamshire
began a long series of rlots, marked by
most wauton mischief. Assembling in
Parties of
from six to sixty v under
a
leader styled general or Ned Lucid, dis-
guised and armed with swords, pistols,
hammers and axes and bound together
by illegal oaths, they succeeded in
smashing stocking [nr frames in
all parts
of England, and their daring outrages
continued even when a large military
force was brought into the neighbor-
hood and two London police magis-
trates came down to assist the civil
power.
To such a pitch had this dangerous
disturbance grown that a royal procla-
mation was issued offering a reward of
150 for the apprehension of any of the
offenders. • Not until October, 1516, did
this wholesale destruction and vio-
lence cense, by which time more than
a thousand frames and many lace ma-
chines had been broken up and the
mischief bad spread into neighboring
counties.—London Chronicle.
Five Thousand Distinct Languages.
Mr, J. Collier, writing on the subject,
says that over 5.000 distinct languages
are spoken by mankind. The number
of separate dialects is enormous. There
are more than sixty vocabularies in
Brazil, and in Mexico the Nahua lan-
guage has broken up into 700 dialects.
There are hundreds in Borneo. In
Australia there is no classifying the
complexities, and generally the num-
ber of dialects is in inverse proportion
to the intellectual culture of the popu-
lation. Assume that only fifty dialects
on an average belong to every lan-
guage and we have the colossal total
of 2230,000 linguistic varieties.
African Road Breakers.
Engineering feats by big game in
Africa are thus described by a recent
explorer: "Elephant and rhinoceros
tracks were ubiquitous. These mon-
sters are certainly the best road break-
ers in Africa. Among the hills some of
the rhinoceros paths were extraordi-
narily well graded. Unfortunately the
rhinoceros has a hide three-quarters of
an inch thick and so does not see the
necessity of clearing the thorn bush
from over his road. An elephant is
more considerate—he makes a clean
sweep of everything."

THE GLUTEUS MAXIMUS.
It Is the Strongest Muscle In tine $1}•
news Body.
The strongest muscle in the bureau
body is the gluteus maximus. hardly
a Movement of the lower extremltles
can be made without bringing it into
play, but its chief duty Is to balance
the pelvis on the head of the thigh
bone. It assists in carrying the leg for-
ward and outward in walking, and
without its aid any movement of the
body from the bips would be Impossi-
ble,
As it is the strongest, so is it also the
largest muscle we possess. In the full
grown man it can exert a force of 110
pounds to the square inch of its section
in the thickest part.
Another strong muscle, which is sit..
noted in the calf of the leg, is capa-
ble of sustaining seven times the"
weight of the body, The great tendon
which is inserted in the heel bone, call.
ed tendon achilles, is also of singular
strength. When removed from the
body, it bas sustained a weight of
2,000 pounds, yet sometimes by the
sudden action of the muscles of the
calf, to which it belongs, it has been
snapped across.
PERMANENT MAGNETS.
The Simpleit Way of Magnetising a
Bar of Steel.
The simplest way of magnetizing a,
bar of steel is that known as "single
touch. Ile•

twenty times along its length, always`
In the same direction. If tbe north

come a north pole, while the opposite
end, at which the magnet is lifted be-
fore returning, will be a south pole.
There are other and more complicated
Methods, known as "divided touch"
hnd "double touch." in which two and
even four magnets are employed.
A. steel bar can also be magnetized
by placing it within a coil of insulated
`vire, through which a galvanic current
Is circulating. The magnetism induced
In this. way, however, is weak com-
pared with that which can be procured
If the same strength of current is em-
ployed through the intervention of an
electro -magnet,
"Hamlet" at Elsinore.
Shakespearean commentators have
i wondered why the poet placed the
scenes of "Hamlet" at Elsinore, in the
island of Zealand, whereas the Danish
prince lived and died In Jutland. But
the municipal authorities at • Elsinore
discovered In their archives tbat an
English company was acting in their
town in 1387 or 1388, and among the
names of the actors are several of those
who were acting with Shakespeare in
London in 1380, Obviously these ac -
•tors must have talked about their ad-
ventures in Denmark, and so Shaker
speare became well acquainted with
Elsinore and when he wrote "hamlet"
naturally placed the scene in a place
which be knew by description rather
than in a place of which he knew noth-
ing.
The General Utility Conenl.
In those larger towns in Turkey
where England 1s represented by a
consul that official is looked upon as a
sort of court of appeal by Christians.
Atntenians, Bulgarians, Jlacedottians
and even Jews, who have probably
never heard an English word spoken,
will appeal to the British eonsul when
in difficulties, and he rarely refuses
his khul offices. In ordinary cases his
unofficial backing of the "glnours" is
effective.
