A rhinoceros which lived in the Lon- don zoo was troubled by its horn, which grew down in front of its mouth, | so that only with difficulty could it eat | or drink. To save its life the keeper | decided on amputation, The horn of a i rhinoceros is not a horn at all, but an | accumulation of hair and skin which ! has hardened and become cemented to- | gether by some gummy substance, The owner of this one had a very touchy temper and was not easily approached. Its keeper, however, decided to try what he could do. For some days it re- quired all his skill to persuade the beast to come to the front of the cage and put its horn through. Then for some days he stroked the horn, much to the animal's disgust at first, although later it seemed to like it. When it found he meant no harm it jet him take the horn in his left hand and then with the right imitate the motion of a saw across it. When this had been done some time and the rhinoceros no longer minded it, a piece of wood was held in the right hand, and at last, when even this no longer worried the animal, a real saw was brought in and the horn cut off without the slightest remon. Strance from the owner of it. —— Outcome Always Same. A Philadeiphian was praising for his learning ana uprightness the late Judge M. Russell Thayer. He quoted the moving passage from Judge Thay- er's will, “Owing to the fact that al most my entire life has been passed in The public service of the United States and of the state of Pennsylvania, 1 Jbave but a small estate to leave to my dear children and wife,” : “Judge Thayer,” he continued, “was A very honorable man. First as a law- yer, afterward as a judge, he treated all with whom he had dealings with the greatest fairness. Once, years ago, after he had served me well in a dif- ficult case, I remonstrated with him about the smallness of his fee. “‘Well! he said, smiling and smell- ing the flower in his buttonhole, ‘I, you know, am not that type of lawyer whose client once said: “““I never was entirely ruined but twice—once when I lost a lawsuit and once when I gained one.” ’”—Wash ington Star. i A Terrible Punishment. A man suspected of treason in Mo Tocco was punished by having the flesh of his hand sliced, the wound filled with salt and the whole hand sewed up in leather. It is a common | belief that this punishment causes, mortification to set in and that the | hand decomposes, but such is not the | case, for by the time the leather wears | off the hand is healed, the result being | that the hand is rendered useless and remains closed forever, It is a punish. ment not often in use, but is some times done in cases of murder or con: | stant theft, as, without in any way in Juring the health of the man, it pre vents his committing the crime a sec ond time or for the hundredth time, as the case may be. It is a punish | ment that cannot be applied except by the sultan’s orders.—Blackwood’s Mag | azine. | Women as Walkers. | Even the athletic girls and women | of today ean hardly make any ad- | vance upon the record of Mary Lamb, | who wrote to Miss Wordsworth (both women being between fifty and sixty years old): “You say you can walk fifteen miles with ease. That is ex. actly my stint.” She then speaks pity. ingly of a delicate woman who could accomplish “only four or five miles ev- ery third or fourth ty, keeping very quiet between.” 0 Manhattan Island. Indians who accepted $24 from Gov- ernor Peter Minuit for Manhattan Is land in 1626 did not make such a bad bargain, for if they had invested that sum of money at compound interest at the prevailing rates since then their heirs would now have £12,000,000,000. ———————— Keeping Pace With the Service.

With an ugly frown, as cross as a bear's, Lagging her steps as a tortoise would, Dorothy Dee came down the stairs, She couldn't, she wouldn't, she said, “be good.’ Outside the sun shove over all, On the glistening grass, with its dew of pearl, “But inside,” aii mother, “the rain does fall, “If I hear no laugh from my little girl.” Another morning the clouds hung low; Rain fell in torrents, the sky was dull; But as Dorothy down the stair did go, You could hear her laughter, gay and full. “Ah,” said her mother, with hearty cheer; “I'm glad such a happy child to see: “It shines inside when you laugh, my dear. “You make my weather, Dorothy Dee!" —[By Mary Barling Street, in Exchange, A ————— The Canse of Soft-Shellea Eggs Poultry writers,since the time the Shavg- bai rooster first invaded Boston, have been repeatedly telling us that soft-shelled eggs were caused by an insufficiency of lime in the food consumed by the hens. Such, however, is not the case. The soft-shelled egg is a case of arrested development, due to nervous interference with the functions of the oviduct. The laying of Incomplete. ly developed corresponds to abortion in Tah an can wo be brought about by extreme mental disturbance. In experiments conducted at the Kansas Ex- periment Station the writer was able to cause the production of soft-shelled eggs by continued excitement of congned hens. I was also shown that the hen’s system on an ordinary diet contains enoneh ecalciam carbonate for the formation of about five or six eggs. If lime was withheld from the food, the hen after having laid this number of eggs, will stop laying. When lime was given in limited quantities the hens lail apparently normal eggs, but only as fre- quently as the lime furnished wonld sup- ply shell material. Careful weighings proved that eggs thus produced, though apparently normal, were actually thinner- shelled than normal eggs from the same hen. Bat little is known about the process and control of egg formation, and further study should yield facts of both soientific interest and practical bearing.—in Scien- tific American, Leak in lee Cream. Baldoni (Riforma Med.) finds considera- ble amounts of lead in ice cream, fruit ices, etc., as sold in Rome. He attributes many of the disturbances of digestion occurring during the summer when ice cream, fruit ices, sorbets, ete., are consumed in Inrger quantities to the lead contained in these articles. The lining of the receptacles in which ice cream Is made often consist of an alloy of tin and lead. The ingredients of fee cream dissolve this, but in addition to this, in turning the mass in the freezer a certain amount of the lining of the vessel is rubbed into the cream. This was proved conclusively by the write:, who found that particles of tin and copper were precipitat- ed at the hottom of glass vessels in which he melted ice cream. On filtering the liquid these articles also were found on the filter. He destroyed the organic portions of the cream by means of faming nitric acid and by electrolysis, and recovered the lead. Price of Muminating Gas in Eng- land. Consul F. W. Mahin Febolte that the price of illuminating gas in idnes, Lan- cashire, England, is now 32 cents to small consumers, but will be reduced to 30 cents on July 1. Large consumers will pay from 22 to 26 cents. This is claimed to be the cheapest gas in the world. The town has about 30,000 population. The price of gas is remarkably low everywhere in Great Britian, whether under public or private control, the general range of price being 40 and 70 cente.—in Scientific American ——"I heard you had a cow for sale,” began Sububs, “and as I'm thinking of buying one for our little place—"’ “Waal, sir,” interrupted the farmer, eagerly, ‘“‘thar’s thes Jarsey yonder.

A Fairly Big Fish. Paddy had been telling the story of a big pike he caught, too big to get into the boat, so that he had to be towed behind (with the gaff in it, it must be understood). Then followed this dia- logue: “What weight, Paddy?’ “Div- vil a know I know, but he was an ojous baste.” “Was that the biggest you | ever saw, Paddy?"
