Lucky Rescue of a Boy Who Was Lashed to the Branch of a Tree. 9. sailor tells a tale of peril that is ut of the ordinary. 13e was one of Ire crew of an English ship hound tom British Guiana to Rio Janeiro. 9Ohen off the mouth of the Parana river there came ou a calm, followed y a dense fog. At 10 o'clock in the morning there ame out of the fog the voice of a hu- man being, calling for help. A noise in a fog is very deceptive, and this one could not be located, but an answer• log "hello" was given. Suddenly something struck the ves- el on the port quarter, and it was made out to bo a tree, and in its branches was a native boy, lashed to 0. limb and almost unconscious. The tree was caught with a rc,pe and the boy taken on board. It was half a day before be rallied enough to tell bis tale. He and his E bad been hunting twenty miles ap the Parana river when a sodded freshet carne down. Both climbed the same tree, but it was rooted up and carried down the river. The father Cied his son to a limb with his loin Cloth, but before he could thus protect himself the tree tilted over, and he was swept away. Tbe boy had been floating three days and nights when he was picked up.—St. Louisa Globe•Demo- trat. Our Longest River. Our longest river is the Mississippi. There is no other stream within our borders • that can stand a moment's comparison with the "Father of Wa- ters." f r there are some who ers. i` obesue t claim that the really great river is the Missouri, that that stream is the main one, of which the Mississippi is only' a tributary. But the claim is without foundation. The Missouri, from its source in the northwestern Rockies to its junction with the Mississippi at St. Louis, is a distinct stream from the one into which it empties near that point. It is quite true that from the headwaters of the Missouri to the gulf the distance is greater than it is from the headwaters of the Mississippi to the gulf, but in the one case it is two streams, in the other only one.—Nevil York American. The Dream Lion. A. Vienna professor Is credited with saying that dreams are usually wish fulfillments. Maybe so. 'What about that childish dream in which the fe- rocious lion comes bounding along be- hind you, and you run as boy never ran before, and the lion closes the gap tittle by little, and then—all of a sud- den—your udden—your legs grow limp and your muscles turn to water and your feet fray out, and the lion leaps—and you awake with a yell, if your voice isn't paralyzed, and everybody in tbe house wakes with yon? — Cleveland Plain Dealer.

London's 116 square miles are owned by 38,200 individuals. Only 700 people own five acres or more, and 14,004 own only tbe houses in which they live.

NOW Mt. . tet.,111111 fits CAESAR AS AN EPILEPTIC. Glimpses of the Famous Conqueror That Are Not Inspiring. Says Mark Antony, who had evi- dently seen the great Cnesar in con. vulsions: "When the tit was on I marked how he diel shake: 'tis true this god did shake," Again: "Ye gods, it doth amaze nie a man of such a feeble temper should so get the start or the majestic world and beta' tbe palm alone." We would hardly recommend horses back riding to an epileptic, "but by dint of perseverance," says the his. toilet) Oppius, "Caesar became an ex• pert horseman, often dictating to two or three secretaries at once while in the saddle, and rode without using his hands." We have bad a somewhat similar experience in our own prao• tire, where the patient, unlike Caesar, gave up epilepsy wbIle contiuuiog as a horse trainer. When Caesar came to un bridge rivers during his campaigns he swam across theta, sometimes helped by in - Gated bladders, but usually unaided. One*', having a seizure in the water, he cried out, you remember: "Help me. Cassius, or I perish." He explored personally and afoot, conquered cities, accompanied by way of precaution by but one or two sen vents—an admirable precaution for epileptics when at all possible. He needed to be careful. If he had lived in the gluttonous days of Calig- ula or Nero and had to any extent Indulged in their dietary excesses, he never would have crossed the Rubicon nor effected the important victory over Pompey the Great at Pharsalia, and the protests of his nervous system in the way of convulsions would have been more numerous. Ile paid the strictest attention to hei hair, although he had so Iittle of it. Like the rest of the baldheaded the world over, he allowed this occipital fringe to grow long, and boldly combed it forward, like a vine over a blank wall, in the vain hope of concealing his cranial nakedness—the touch of me ture that makes the whole bald world kin.—Dr. Matthew Woods in Neale's Monthly. FOOD TABOOS IN ALASKA. Queer Dietary Rules That Are Part of the Eskimo Religion, To illustrate one of the phases of the native religion of the Eskimos, we may consider the question of food taboos. In the mountains of Alaska, on the upper Euvuk and Noatak rivers, and on the headwaters of the Colville, the prohibitions which applied to the eat. Ing of the flesh of the mountain sheep alone were as extensive as the entire dietary section of the Mosaic law. A young girl, for instance, might eat only certain ribs, and when she was a little older she might eat certain other ribs, but when she was full grown she would for a time bave to abstain from eating the ribs which had been allowed to her up to then. After a woman bad bad her first child she might eat certain other ribs, after her second child still others, and only after having had five children might she eat all the ribs; but even then she must not eat the membranes on the inside of the ribs. If her child was sick she must not eat certain ribs, and if two of her children were sick she might not eat certain other ribs. If her brother's child was sick she alight not eat certain parts, and if her brother's wife died there were still different prohibitions. The taboos applying to the ribs of sheep had relation to the health of her children and of her relatives. They also depended upon what animals her' relatives or herself had killed recently and on whether those animals were male or female.—Y. Stefanssen In rfarper's Magazine. Old Viking Funerals. A Viking ship was often of large proportions, and it was seldom or nev- er allowed to rot or to be broken up. Having been useful in the arts of war, it served quite another purpose in the arts of peace. When a chief died his body was reverently placed in the stern of the vessel and a torch applied to the hold. The man's kinsfolk and friends watched the flames grow big. ger and brighter as the huge ship, with set sail, plowed its way through the water for the last time until corpse and ship disappeared under the waves.

SUFFERED 14 YEARS Doctor Decided on Operation, But Dr. Chase's Ointment Cured Him Mr. Charles Beauvais, a respected citizen of St. John's, Que., writes:—"For 1.1 years I have suffered from chronic piles or hemorrhoids, and considered my case very serious. I was treated by a well-known physician, who could rat help me, and my doctor decided on an operation as the only means of relief. However, I resolved to try Dr. Chase's Ointment first. The first box brought me great relief, and by the time I had used three boxes I was completely cured. This is why it gives me such great pleasure to recommend Dr. Chase's Ointment to every- body suffering from hemorrhoids as a preparation of the greatest value."
