Sometimes It Holds Water Enough to
Float the Boats.
Of some of the crude and outgrown
methods used on China's Grand canal
& writer in the North China Daily
News remarks: “The junction of the
real canal with the Wel river was not
by means of a lock, but simply a high
and steeply sloping mud bank, over
which the grain vessels had to be
dragged by the force of perhaps many
hundreds of men. It should be borne
in mind that in China the lock of a
canal is not much more like our idea
of what that name connotes than it is
like a padlock. Amid constant and
often serious changes of level, with an
uncertain and not infrequently a
scanty supply of water, and with a
~rain fleet which traveled in blocks of
rome elghty vessels under one officer,
it was necessary to devise some way
for keeping them together and for
transferring them as a consolidated
unit with this in view.

A REAL CLOUDBURST.
One That Descended Upon a Mountain
In Scotland.
What a real cloudburst is like is de-
scribed by a Scotland correspondent of
Country Life: “A cloudburst of ex-
ceptional size descended on the Cairn-
gorm mountains, and an old watcher,
who has his hut almost exactly where
the cloud burst, gives the following de-
tafls: On July 10, 1901, the morning
opened brilliantly fine and warm, with
a cloudless sky and brilliant sunshine,
but toward noon heavy clouds formed
on the hills, and it rapidly became so
dark that it was almost impossible to
read. He was standing in the door of
his hut, when suddenly he heard from
the hill across the glen a report like a
thunderclap, followed by a noise like
the tearing of linen. only a thousand
times louder and more majestic in
sound. Then he noticed that a solid
mass of water had struck the hilltop.
and part of it, bounding up again with
the force of the impact, had descended
on the hilltop immediately behind his
hut. Immediately afterward a tre-
mendous volume of water came pour-
ing down both hillsides, forming great
The Bab.
The East Indian teacher who founded
the cult known as “Babism" was “the
Bab”—Mirza Alli Mohammed. He was
born in Shiraz, Persia, in the year
1820. He was trained at first to com-
mercial life, but a pligrimage to Mecca
awakened In his heart the religious
zeal which made him devote his life
henceforth to developing the faith
which he held. Upon his return to his
native city in 1844 he assumed the
title of Bab, or “Gate” leaGing to the
truth. In the eyes of the orthodox
Mohammedans the tenets of the Bab
were rank heresy, and he was taken
to Tabriz and shot.—New York Amer-
fean.
The Anchor.
“Captain,” remarked the nuisance on
shipboard who always asks foolish
questions, “what is the object in
throwing the anchor overboard?"
“Young man,” replied the old salt.
“do you understand the theory of sels-
mic disturbances? Well, we throw the
anchor overboard to keep the ocean
from slipping away in the fog. See?”
Overdoing It a Little,
“Speaking of economy,” says a char-
Health and Activity.
Health is always nciive. The healthy
woman must have an ontlet for the vigor
she feels, and she will find it in work or
play, in dancing or in damning, in the
chase or at the churn. Even work does
not satisfy her, so, as she works, she sings,
ber busy fingers keeping time to the tune
she carols. Directly the duties of the house
become a burden, when the song dies on
the lips, and the limbs move sluggishly,
when amusements have no more attraction
and = fail to interest, the health is
declining, vitality ie being lowered, and it
is time for the woman to look around for
the cause of her weakness. She will find
it uspally in disease of the delicate organs ;
in debilitating draivs,
flammation and ulceration, or female weak-
ness, For this condition a perfect and per-
manent core is contained in Di. Pierce's

ness Paris had been occupied by
troops, and the prince-president had
become Napoleon III.
Equally sudden and almost us sensa-
tional in its way was the birth of the
modern Greek empire. After the yoke
of the Turks had been thrown off in
the war of independence the country
became a republic. But the people
soon tired of that democratic form of
government and pmomptly proceeded
to assassinate their first and only pres-
ident. Then they met together, elect-
ed a king and settled themselves down
to be ruled by him in a quite orderly
and contented fashion.—San Francisco
Chronicle.
Exploiting the Antique.
A gang of swindlers arrested by the
Toulouse police had for stock in trade
a beautiful antique cabinet and a con-
siderable stock of audacity. With
these they took, for a short lease, a
historic chateau near Toulouse, in-
stalling a venerable old lady to play
the part of owner. Then they found
a collector of antiques, persuaded him
to visit the chateau and sold him the
really valuable cabinet at a good
round price. After the bargain was
concluded they invited the victim to
lunch, and while he was eating the
meal the real cabinet was repiaced by
a perfect imitation, which the victim
carried off with him. The swindlers,
before their arrest, succeeded in selling
their cabinet thirty-three times, at
prices varying from $500 to £3,000.
When Animals Are lL
Said a prominent veterinarian: “An-
{mals when sick are the most helpless
and appreciative of all creatures, and
the way of administering relief and
medicine in many instances is as novel
as it is effective. The most savage and
revengeful animals during spells of se-
vere pain are, as a rule, as docile and
tractable as a child. Relief must come
from a human being, and come guick-
ly, and they atm to know it. The
most vicious horse when groaning
with pain wowia allow a mere child to
aiaminister relief, and many of the
wild animals when in sickness seem:
to forget their savage instincts.”
The Greyhound.
Various explanations have been giv-
en of the origin of the term grey-
hound, some authors claiming that the
prefix grey is taken from Graius,
meaning Greek. others that it signifies
great, while still others say that it has
reference to the color of the animal
In no other breed of hounds is the
blue or gray color so prevalent, and
consequently the last mentioned deri
vation seems the most plausible.—Lon-
don Notes and Queries.
Thought He Knew.
Mrs. Gewjum—John, do you know
what you sald in your sleep last night?
Mr. Gewjum—Oh, yes: I suppose 1
sald, “Marin, for heaven's sake, let me
get in a word edgewise!"—Chicago
Tribune,
near Zurich, a distance of forty miles,
and the hotel on the Faulhorn, sixty
miles away, may be recognized. Every
step of the tellers on the slopes of the
Matterhorn can be followed by means
of the instrument on the Riffelalp
above Zermatt. Several lives have been
saved by the means of these glasses,
for signals of distress on the moun-
tains are seen by the watchers at the
telescopes.—Harper's.
A Birdseye View.
The following incident occurred dur-
ing a terrific thunderstorm at the home
of a contractor who lives in the vicini-
ty of Tampa, Fla. The contractor and
his family were sitting on the veranda
watching the storm when a bolt of
lightning struck a tree not fifteen feet
from where they were sitting.
The shock was terrific, but no one
was injured, although they were ali
badly frightened. The young son, with
great excitement, was telling that he
jumped two feet high.
“How do you know you jumped so
high?” said his father. |
“Why,” said Johnnie, “I looked down
while I was up.”—Youth's Companion.
Wagner's Swan.
What interests me about Wagner,
rs a writer in London Opinion, is his
affection for live beasts and animals.
In “Siegfried” we have a dragon, and
in “Lohengrin,” as you are all aware,
there is a very beautiful swan®™ When
the late Sir Augustus Harris produced
this latter opera something went
wrong with the bird. Just before the
rise of the curtain, therefore, the au-
dience was considerably surprised and
startled to hear the indignant voice of
one of the stage hands resounding
from the realins behind inquiring with
characteristic vigor, “What's the mat-
ter with that infernal duck?”
A Blissful Suppesition.
Miss Bilack—Mr. Brown, does you
know whut a bird of paradise is? Mr,
Brown—Well, of co'se 1 doesn’t know
foh sure. but when I gits ter de nex’

A Hummer.
“Morning, morning!” said paterfa-
milias genially as he entered the break-
fast room. “I've had a splendid night.
Slept like a top!”
His wife agreed with him. “You
did,” she responded grimly—*“like a
humming top!'—Philippines Gossip.
A Man of Letters.
“Did your friend make a hit at the
literary club?”
“1 guess he did. He pronounced ‘Les
Miserables’ in a brand new way and
taen alluded to it as Victor Herbert's
masterpiece.”—Washington Herald.
True bravery is shown by perform-
ing withont witness what one might
