THE FIERY DRAGON.
• .
TEE HURON EXPOSITOR.

Ancient and Mediaeval Deem...Intim
oe the Monster.
Dragons were Important ardmale In
ancient and inedloeval natural history.
Datil comparatively recent time no
scientist ever thought of questioning
the existence of this most, formidable
of beasts. The annals of Winchester
for 1177 gravely state that "In this year
dragons were seen of malty in Eng-
land.", Gesner, professor of natural
history at Zurich, gives a detailed de-
scription of the dragon, while Aldro-
vandus, in his "History of Serpents
and Dragons," published in 1640, de-
votes itlfty pages to the monster. A
good s eclinen of a dragon would seem
to have been a beast about the size of
a sheep, incased in a coat of miles
which shone like silver. Its back was
serrated like a slaw. It possessed a
siong tail, a pair of batlike wings, foal'
heavily clawed feet and a wolvine head,
the jaws of which were armed With
very formidable teeth. The " tongue
was barbed with fire, and fury issued
from the monster's; mouth, and the head
bore a crest. Dragons were the most
wicked and vindictive of creatures.
•They seem always..to have been in a
towering rage and: spent the greater
portion of their time in rushing up and
down the earth deStroying everything
that carne in their pirth. The origin of
dragons was a disputed point among
medireval naturalists. Some maintain-.
ed that these anima's were •generated
by the heat of India; others were of
opinion that the volcanoes of Ethiopia
used to belch forth the monsters. One
scientist, John Leo by name, declared
the dragon to be a hybrid, a cross be-
tween an eagle and a wolf.
Temperature and Atmosphere.
That a body can acquire during the
night a different temperature from
that of the surrounding atmosphere
has been demonstrated by an English
physicist. If a thermometer is taken
from the window wrapped in cotton
and placed on the ground its mercury
will descend seven or eight degrees.
Vegetables *similarly situated, and be-
ing bad conductors,- may freeze at a
time when the thermometer does not
mark the freezing point -proof that
the cold experienced by the plant may
be entirely different from the tempera-
ture .of the surrounding air. This low
temperature j of plants, however, only
occurs when the night is clear, since
ht this time the plant sheds its heat
throughout space and becomes chilled,
whereas if th.e night is cloudy the
phenomenon does not occur. , This
gives rise to the popular superstition
-that plants and buds are frozen by
moonlight.
Curious Case of Mind Reading.
A very curious cese is related in the
AnnaIee •Psychiques. A child oaf seven
year, in good health, lively and robuet,
belonging to equally healthy parents,
showed a strange facility in learning
all that his mother taught him. Ile re-
cited the whole mcdtiplication table at
the first trial, solved. instantly compli-
cated proble s and made not a single
• mistake in 1is first spelling lesson. It
was soon rea.i ized that the child did not
calculate by 'himself and did not spell
of his own accord. Ile was reading
his mother's mind, and he did this even
when his eyes were shut and his back
turned, provided only that she were
near him. One day she had the idea
of interposing a screen between her
and the child, and there was no more
` calculation, no more epelling. The
screen was sufficient to prevent the
child from reading tthe mOther's
thouglits.
4 Moving Sermon. °
"I once had a parishioner who was a
miser," said an English clergyman.
"For this Man's benefit I preached one
Sunday a strong sermon on the neces-
sity of charity, of philanthropy -a ser -
Mon on the duty and the joy of giving.
The miser, at whom I gazed often,
seemed impressed.
"Next day I met him on the street.
'Well, John,' I said, 'what do you
think of yesterday's sermon?'
'It moved me deeply, sir,' he an-
swered. 'It brought home to me so
strongly the necessity of giving alms
that honestly, eir, I've a great mind to
turn beggar.'"
Eight and Heat and Eye.
Looking into the fire is very injurioue
to the eye, particularly a coal fire. The
stimulus of light and heat united soon
destroys the eyes. Looking. at molten
iron will soon destroy the sight. Read-
ing in the twilight is injurious to the
eyes, as they are obliged to make great
exertion. Reading or sewing with
side light injures the eyes, as, both eyes
should be exposed to an equal force of
light. Those who wish to preserve
their sight should preserve their gen-
eral health by correct habits of living
and give their eyes just work enough,
with a due degree of light.

MODESTY OF THE GREAT.
Gladstone and Dartvin Felt Theme
sleeves tiOrderfary Persons."
In "Studies In Contemporary Biogra-
phy," by JamestBryce, there occur two
stories whicheaused some of the critics;
- to express astonifihment at the "mod-
esty of the great." The stories are
these:
"Meeting Mr. 'Gladstone in the lobby
and seeing his • face 'saddened by the
troublee in Ireland, Mr. Bryce tried to
divert his thoughts by mentioning a
recent discoveri-6 wit, that Dante
had been saved' from want in his last
-years by a lectureehip at Revenue. Mr.
Gladstone's face lit up at once, and he
said, 'How strange it is to think that
thole great sot0s, whose works are a
beacon light to allethe 'generations that
have coine after them, should have had
cares and anxieties to vex them in their
daily life just like the rest of us com-
mon'. mortals!' d
"The words , reminded me," adds the
author, "that a 'fen, days before, I had
heard Mr. Darwl , in dwelling upon
the pleasure a v1sIt paid_by Mr. Glad-
stone had given, h1in, say, 'And lie talk-
ed just as if he had been an ordinary
person like one of ourselves.' The two
men were alike tinconsolous of their
greatness." '
It is only the little who think them-
selves great. They are like those who
do not know much and therefere im-
agine that there is. noemuch to know.
The great do not think themselves so,
Just as the learned are 8verwhelmed by
their igaorance.
Snake In a Street Car.
The snakes with which I have gen-
erally associated have mostly been the
little 4aps, such -a the lively two foot
garter snake that I had in a Kansas
City street car one day. I had picked
him up in the suburbs of the city, and
before taking the cer back to the busi-
ness section of th town I buttoned
hilai iir tbe inside ocket of my coat.
Now, anybody who: has ridden over
the streets of Kanas City knows that
in places it seems las though the cars
were climbing up the roof of -a barn.
When I got on the car it,was full, and
so I had to grab a strap in order to
stand up. Presently a seat became va-
cant beside me and I sat down. As I
did so I glanced up and there was my
poor little snake h nging to the strap
I had just left. V rious other people
noticed himo at the ame time, and the
ensuing 'exhibition Wouldl have enabled
any person, in the car to secure:it job
as a circus acrobat at a handsome sal-
ary. After they had escaped I put
the snake back in my pocket. The
conductor- was a hero and stuck to his
post, but he put me off the car and
kept my nickel. -W, S. Dpnbar in Out-
ing. ,
F. ea
No Room For film.
Several relics of eiceptional value
and of unusual haterest to archasol-
, ogists were discovered in a small town
near Nuremberg, aid as- soon 'as the
'news reached him the director of the
Nuremberg -Historical Museum went
,
to the , village and _Introduced himself
to the mayor, saying:
"I ara in charge of the muSeum at
Nuremberg, and I'd like to"-
,
"Yettre too tate, my good sir," in-
terrupted the mayor. "We've already
got here several merry go rounds, a _
bearded woman, a theatrical company
composed of apes, a troupe of trained
dogs. and a band of Hungarian musi-
cians, so you can readily see that we've
got no room for your museum."
And with these words he nodded to
the director and went away.
Nature. and Deformity.
Nature is very particular to conceal
her deformities, and'all that is Worth-
less or ungraceful .generally drops off
from a tree unless it be an injury to the
trunk. From such effects the tree nev-
er, recovers, Go into the forests and
how often we see deformed trees, some
bent and twisted, some parted till the
4rigina1 trunk beconaes like two, etich
crossing and recrossing the other. Thia
was alone by depression or injury to -the
tree in its young and; tender years. 1Na-
ture has no power to right ,a _broken
law either in the aeiinal or the vege-
table organism. Punishment follows,
and deformity results.
Chtldieh Amulgeroento In Boston.
"Are you playing ilorser asked the
benevolent , gentlemen who takes an
interest in children. •
"Certainly not," answered the little
Boston bdy. "We are amusing our-
selves by the assumption that Brother
Waldo is an ichthyosaurus and that I
am a prehistoric man in pursuit of
huiii.''
One of . Then'.
"1 am sorry to hear your unfortn-
nate. nephew has been closed out by
the sheriff," said the friend of the fam-
ily. "Have you any idea what his lia
bilities are?"
"Yes. I've an ,idee he's liable to call
on me fur help about the fust thing he
does," responded Uncle Silas.
An Egretine Puzzle Solved.
"Papa," said smelt Elmer, '"I- know
why some pistols are called horse pis-
tols."
"Well, my boy, why are they so call-
ed ?".asked his father, .
"Because they kick,," replied the little
philosopher.
Disappointed.
Aunt Margaret -And if you're good -
real good -you'll go to heaven.
Little 'Dorothy -Oh, is that all? I
thought maybe you were going to give
me a quarter.
Less Expensive.
"He said \ he'd rather face father
than: elope."
"And what did you say?"
"1 said that father would rather have
us elope." -•

In the French foreign legion for throW-
big his cap in his captain's face dt
Oran is an illustration of the merciless
severity exercised in that famous corps.
Shooting at sight is permitted the of-
ficers, who have to deal with dangerous
characters from all quarters of Europe.
Nowhere Is there such a corps, cording to to the London Chronicle. Its
ranks are recruited from outcasts of
all social ranks. Disgraced officerof
the Russian service, deserters from the -
German army, broken scions of ' the
Austrian nobility, fraudulent debtors
from Belgium, forgers from Spain,
homicides from America, ruined &M-
illers from Italy, are found in plenty
in the ranks. No excuse is taken for a
fault, and the slightest symptom of in-
subordination carries with it a swift
passage to another world. It is under-
Otood that recruits are simply seeking
refuge front the arm Of the civil laW, •
The foreign legion is the only volun-
tarily enlisted cormin the French
army. It has done excellent service
against the Arabs and is always pleced

The Harmless Grass Snake.
The poor, harmless grass snake is the
subject of etories almost .as wonderful
as those related of the adder. The
superstition that, however much yen
may hamMer it, it will not die till .the
setting of :the sun is widely .held. A
fable not So generally held to is that
even at suodown it will not die if you
should neglect to tell some one of what
you hone dime. The rule on seeing one
of these terrible Creatures 1e to "hit it
and tell" -that is, gine it a good drub-
bing and laithi quickly and tell some one.
The best Snake story is from Leigh
Sinton, near Malvern, according to a
London cerrespondent A laberer
states that he had killed a grass snake
and hung it on a tree. The blood
dripped down and a toad canoe and
swallowed some, dying instantly!
The fancy that makes this species
poisonouls or even harmful is a *Wild
one, but hew much more wild is that
which attriattes violent toxic proper-
ties to any chance drop of blood from
its body! It might have been thoaght
that the other popular belief that poi-
sonous things cannot be poisoned would
have saved. the life of the poor toad. -

fer on them a few millions in recogni-
tion of their distinguished ancestor.
This fact led a statistician to work;his
brain, and he published the statenlent
that had Celumbus placed $1 at Corn -
pound interest at 6 per cent 400 years
ago Ids- descendants today would pos-
sess a sum amounting to more than
$8,600,000,000. When these figures Were
published Lyman J. Gage was seem-
tarr' of the treasury. His attention
was called to the tremendous possibil-
it's, of a single dollar, and his comment
was either a sincere remark or a eyell
adapted pun. He said, "Indeed, to rue
this is a etory of great interest."
Honors Were Easy.
"In. the church I attended as a heY;"
said a New 'York man, "there were fre-
quent clashes between the minister
and the choir. The minister thought
the choir irreverent and unmusical.
The choir thought him a back number.
Etteh tried to give the other a dig on
every possible occasion.
"One Sunday, I remember, there was
a clash wherein the honors were about
even. The minister, after the choir
lied sung the opeuing hymn, said With
a significant smile, that his text would
be from Acts xx, 'Apd after the uproer
was ceased.' But the choir, at the ser-
mon's - end, retorted neatly with the
anthem, 'It Is Time to Awake From
Sleep.'"
The Stick Ineect of Borneo.

is also the home of one of the largest
species of dragon fly. A specimen of
the subfamily teschna measures six
inches and a half from wing to wing
and is endowed with a correspondingly
strong body. '
Boirtou. Could Stand It,
, Ralph Waldo Emersou once made a
crushing reply to a man who asked
him whether the people in Boston did
not feel alarmed. Said Emerson,
"What about?" Said the man, "Why,
the world is coming to an end next
Monday." Emerson replied: "I'm glad
of it. We cen get along a great deal
better withoet it."
A Slight Fire.
"I say, ?disk; De Witt," remarked
young Siipleigh, "youh vresplendent
beauty sets the bsratin on fire, doncher
know?"
"Never mind, Mr Sapleigh," replied
Miss De Witt, "the Conflagration will be
too insignificant to necessitate the call-
ing out of the fire brigade,"
Plain Talk.
"Shave," said the crusty patron la-
conically.
"Close?" inquired the barber.
"No. I'm pot close, but I'm not in
the habit of giving tips if that's what
you're driving at."
More than half the battle in
cleaning reasy dishes- is in the
soap you use. If it's Sunlight Soap
it's the best.

COLLAR AND CRAVAT.;
Ways In Which They Affect the. Ap*.
pence of the Wearer.
Men who do not want to look any,
fatter in the face than they can help
have an easy means of accomplishing
their purpose. Not all of tiaten are
aware of the effect that may he ereated
by the form of a collar or cravat,
"The stout man who wants to look a�
thin as he can," said a haberdasher's
clerk, "ought to wear a tie of the kind
known as a four-in-hand. Preferably,
It should be dark in color and drawn
tight That carries down the line of
the face and lengthens it to a degree
that tends to make the face look thin-
ner.
"Another aid to making a man look
*thin is in the height of his collars;
Stout men who want to look thin
should wear high collars and dosed
ones. Any collar that opens in front
makes one look stouter under nearly,
every circumstance. Such collars are
becoming to the thin men.
"The fat man should avoid the kind
of tie that has a horizontal effect. This
will add pounds to his appearance -In
his face; at east.
'On the contrary, this cross effect
will make the thin man look stout
The broad scarfs have little efrOt. on a
man's looks one way or the other.
When, he wears them it is the- collar
that ins.kes the difference.
"Re should therefore see., that he
wears a bigh one that does not open if
he wants to look as thin as possible,
whereas if he wants to seem stouter an
open collar will produce that effect for
biro."
Eitglinh Smuggler.
SiallIggling was carried ma with great
boldness in England a century ago.
When. Samuel Pellew was appointed
collector of customs at Falmouth early
last -century he found corruption the
chief characteristic of the service. One
day he surprised a party of his own
men attempting to smuggle in a e.argo
of wine in broad daylight Pel -Jew, who
was a conscientious man, so worried
the smugglers that they threatened his
life repeatedly and posted bills offering
a reward for his assassination. One
smuggler, who kept a public houses,
erected a battery of guns to defend his
illicit goods, and when a sloop of war
exhibited what he bonsidered a too in-
quisitive spirit actually fired on her.
The vessel's guns were too lowsto re-
ply with effect, but hey crew landed -hi
boats, attacked the house in the rear
and leveled it to the ground.
The Difference In TWO Word.
Did it ever occur to you to think of
the difference in significance of the two
words "seems" and "appears?" We
say "it seems to be true" or "it appears
to be true." Are those expressions
identical, or if there be a, difference
what is it?
There is a difference, and it :consists
chiefly in the strength of the expres-
sion. If we read a story and says,
"That story seems to be true," wei
mean that it has the senablance of truth
and we infer that it is true. If we.
say, "That story appears to be truee*
we mean that the statements made in
it or the incidents related. go to show,
its truth.
In other words, "appears" refers to
the actual presentation of soro.ething
to our view; "seems" refers to an infer-
ence of our mind as to the probabillUs
of a thing behag true.
First Type Cast In America,
It was a good man, Chrifitopher.
Sower, who made the first punches and
matrices and cast the first type in
America. The anvil he made them on
is still preserved. They were for a
German Bible whieh he publiebed.
"The price of our newly finished Bi-
ble, in plain binding, with a clasp, will
be 18 shillings," he said, "but to the
poor and needy we have no price.
John the Baptist sent the message to
Christ, 'Art thou be -that should come,
or do we look for another? and Jesus
- sent back word, 'The poor have the se
gospel preached to tlaens.' "
Sower's German Bible was printed
in 1743 and was the first Bible pub-
lished in America in any European
language.
Thoroughly "Done ItTp.”
"Have you done up my shirt yet?"
asked the patron of the laundry,
4 'It 18 just out of the ironing room,"
answered the clerk, ,"and we will.,have
it done up for you now, so that you -
may take it along With you."
"All right I hope it has had better
luck than the last one I had done up •
here."
"Better luck?"
"Yes. You did it up so completely 1.
the ironing room that it wasn't worth
doing up in the bundle."
Good For Bite -Bursirresse
"If there's one thing 1 bate," de-
clared tbe passenger who had. trouble
with the conductor, "it's to be contra-
dicted."
"Well," replied the man who shared
his seat, "I like to have people talk
back to me."
"You do?"
"Yes. Prn an auctioneer."
After a Bargain.
The new womao had applied for al
marringe license.
"How much?" she asked in a busi-
nesslike way,
"Two dollars," replied the clerk.
"Make it $1.98," she said "and I'll
take two of them."
