It is doubtful If our Aryan ancestors when th were planting the seed of the Engli.-Si ami its sister languages thought of the scientille relations of ■what we call heat and cold, font they gave to us the root "prus," whieh they got out of the sensations produced by burningand freezing. As usual. Aryan roots beginning with the "p" sound change it to "112" on the tongues of the Teuton; so with these our more modern ancestors "prus" became "frus," and from it came our "freeze" and "frost." Again, as is usual, our Hindu brother in his Sanskrit usually preserves the Aryan "p" sound, so he has from this root "prush," meaning to burn. This root of freeze became "freosan" in Anglo-Saxon, which is our "frozen." In Icelandic It became "frjosn," in Swedish "frvsa" and in Danish "fryse." In the Latin the original "p" sound is retained in "prulna," mean ing hoarfrost, and in "pruna." signify ing a burning coal. Here we see unit ed two apparently opposite meanings growing out of the old root "prus."— New York Herald. AFRICAN LIONS. They Often Hunt In Couples to Start and Capture Their Prey. Lions in Africa go hunting often in couples nnd then rather systematical ly. When, for instance, a couple of lions have traced out a kraal— that is to say, a place fenced by small cut thorn trees, where llocks of asses or oxen, goats or sheep are shut up for the night—the lioness approaches cau tiously, profiting by every tree or bush to hide herself. At the same time the lion himself lies watching on the op posite in the distance. Now the lioness exerts herself to arouse the cattle—which is not diffi cult, as they become excited merely by smelling u beast of prey—till the cattle are tormented to the utmost by fear and horror, break through the kraal on the side opposite to the lion ess and thus fall an easy prey to the lion. The lion chases his victim and throt tles it by springing on its neck or breast and biting his teeth into this part. The hunted animal falls, and the lion now tears open the flanks. The lioness appears and has her share of the men,. Very often they cannot devour their victim in one night; then they come back to the place where the remains are on the following or the second night The lion's favorite food is zebra, quagga (of which there are few left in Africa) and wild ass. The meat of those three kind of animals is some thing alike in taste. English Clay Pipes. The clay pipe, which is vanishing from the Fleet street chophouse, was the only variety smoked in this coun try until quite recent times. The clay pipe made Its appearance in Englnnd in the later years of Ihe sixteenth cen tury. Writing about a century later, u French author remarks that the English "invented the pipes of baked clay which are now used everywhere." "T'roselcy, in Staffordshire, has been famous for Its pipes nnd clay from the days of Elizabeth," writes \V. A. I'enn in '"The Soverane Ilerb." "Now all the clay of which white pipes are manufactured conn's from Newton Ab bot and Kingsteiguton, in Devon shire. It is sent to nil parts of Eng lnnd ami the world lu rough lump* about the size of quartern loaves, weighing some twenty-eight pounds each."—London Spectator. A Heartless Interruption.

Farmhouses Are Built of Turf snH Often Have Earthen Floors. The gueat room In tlit* Iceland farm house contained a narrow bed. a big round (able and an ornnn made In Hrattleboro, Vt. Our host produced the usual box of snuff and with It a box of good cigars. The host and hostess then showed us all over the house. It is a turf structure and is typical of the older farmhouses, with narrow, dark, win dowless corridors winding in laby rlnthian maze from room to room. One passageway leads to a large open mound where a lire Is made to smoke meat and fish and incidentally the whole house and everything in it. An other passage leads to another kitchen with a modern stove. The walls are all of turf, as is the roof, with just enough driftwood in the roof to make a framework to hold it in place. Very steep stairs lead up to the badstofa, or sleeping apartment. The badstofa frequently forms the sitting and com mon workroom of the family, espe cially in winter, as well as the sleeping room of the entire household. Hunks built into the wall extend around the room and are often filled with seaweed or feathers, over which is thrown u fold or two of wadmal and a thick coverlet of eiderdown. The floors are sometimes covered with boards, but more often consist of damp earth. From the ceiling are suspended numerous articles of domestic econ omy, while large chests containing clothing and valuables aro scattered throughout the house.—Springfield Re publican. STORY OF A LOAN. A Case Where the Statute of Limita tions Was Not Considered. A well known Kansas banker told a story the other day about the statute of limitations. There Is a simile in it, plus some good philosophy. One day an old southerner walked into this banker's office. The south erner was a typical gentleman of the old school, suave, courteous to the point of punctiliousness and honorable to a degree of martyrdom. "What can I do for you?" asked the j banker. "Well," replied the southerner, I "about thirty-five years ago I loaned | a man down south some money—not a j very big sum. I told him that when j ever I should need it I would let him ! know and he could pay me the money, j I need some money now, so I shall let I him know, and I would like to have I you transact the business for me." "My good friend," replied the bank i er, "you have no claim on that money You can't hold that man to that loan. You say it has been thirty-five years since you loaned it to him? The statute of limitations has run against that loan years and years ago." "Sir," replied the southerner, "the man to whom I loaned that money is j a gentleman. The statute of limita tions never runs against a gentleman." So the banker sent for the money, and within a reasonable time there after the money came. There was a i courtly gentleman at the other,end of • the transaction also. Kansas City ! Journal. Trees and Wind. The effect of wind upon trees is I powerful. Even the presence or ab- I sence of forests may be determined ' by the character of the prevailing I wind or the conditions that modify it. The wind ucts as a drying agent, glv- I ing a special aspect to many plants. I When it is almost always from the j same quarter the plants show greater development upon one side Trees are I smaller on the windward of for- I ests, and trunks and branches are j bent to leeward. The deformations are most marked near the sea or in : flat regions. The cherry, plum, wal nut, black poplar, ash and certain | pines are very sensitive to the wind, but mountain pines and certain firs I offer great powers of resistance, and | these are recommended for reforesting wind swept lands.

Woman on Warships. In the British navy of Nelson's dnjr • It was nut uncommon for wives to live I aboard men o'-war with their sailor J husbands. Scarce one of England'i I "wiilis <>f oak" In Nelson's time but i had some woimin abonril who brave<l , the perils and hardships of the sen in I order to he with her husband. In j nearly every one of the twenty-seven | line of battleships under Nelson's j command in the great battle of Traf | algar was one or more women, wives , of sailors. Surprise may be expressed I that English men-of-war's men were i permitted to have their wives aboard. It was only by special permission ol the admiralty that this could be done— and then permission was granted somewhat in the light of a penance for sanctioning tlie press gang system, which was largely In vogue at that time. Men were seized in the streets and other public places and compelled to serve in British warships because -flie king needed men." Some of the i men thus seized had political Influence | and, being unjustly compelled to serve in the navy, were permitted to have their wives share their involuntary servitude. A Mean Advantage. In a breach of promise < aso the bar rister who held the brief for Injured beauty arranged that his fair client should lie so placed that her charms should be well under the observation of the Jury, ne began a most pathetic appeal by directing their attention - to her beauty and calling for justice upou the head of him who could wound the heart and betray the confidence of one so fair, concluding with a peroration of such pathos as to melt the court to tears. The counsel for the de fendant then rose, and after paying the lady the compliment of admitting that it was impossible not to assent to the encomiums lavished upon her face he added that nevertheless he felt bound to ask the jury not to for get that she wore a wooden leg. Then he sat down. The important fact ol which the fair plaintiff's counsel was unaware was presently established, and the jury, feeling rather sheepish at their tears, assessed damages at the smallest amount. The American Baby. The American baby has a fine, strong ancestry. The young men of England who were impatient of reli gious restraint and of physical oppres sion; the young men ol Germany touched with the dream of democracy: the pick of northern Europe, the strong, the fair, the self reliant, the conscientious English at bottom, but with a dash of the best blood of other races—this is the American baby, and no king and no lord ever had a bettei heritage. Take It as it goes, in Mas saehusetts, in Ohio, in Michigan, in Washington, in California, the average American baby has in its veins more of the blood of the I'lnntngenets than any king now living lias. It was his fortune to have come from the daugh ter lines anil the lines of the younger sons, not from the elder soil, whom British custom has marked for the aristocrat.—David Starr Jordan. The Young Man's Tact. The man who was having his pic ture taken in the photograph gallery was an innocent listener to the conver sation between two young ladies on the other side of the screen; "You know. Kate. I sometimes wear a long curl hanging down the back of my neck V" "Yes." "Well, when I'hll was calling on mc the other evening he asked me If he might have that curl, and I jokingly said yes. Before I knew what he was about he had taken a little pair of scissors out of his pocket and clipped i it off close to my head." "Why, the Idea! Didn't that make you furious?" "Not for the smallest fraction of a I second. I thought It was splendid of him that be didn't sei/.e and pull it off." Not Hit Fault.

The man rushes along with his burden till he reaches the door of the cadi's palace If the animal is slill breathing the augury is excellent, for good luck is to be expected all through the year. But if the ram is dead all sorts of evil prognostications are muttered. The One Dish Diet. A food specialist said of dieting: "The simplest, easiest and most effi cacious diet to bring down the weight is the one dish diet. At no meal, that is, should more than one dish be eaten. "The dish may be what you will- Irish stew, macaroni and cheese, roast beef, vegetable soup, bacon and eggs— but no courses are to precede or fol low it You may eat as much as you choose of the dish, and yet for all that you will lose weight steadily. "It's the variety of dishes—the oys ters, soup, fish, turkey, mince pie, ice cream—it's the variety of dishes, cre ating an artificial appetite when the body has really had all it requires, that causes corpulence. If we conline ourselves to one dish we know when we've had enough—we don't knowoth erwise—and the result is that we soon drop down to the slimness natural to children, animals and temperate and healthy men and women." He Started the Trouble. Mrs. Johnson had begun to learn French and was gleefully informing her husband of the rapid progress she was making in her studies. "I'm afraid," remarked Johnson, "that you'll soon grow tired. I've known people tackle a foreign tongue, expecting to know all about it in a few weeks, but before they have mastered even the rudiments their enthusiasm has evaporated and they have given up the task as hopeless." "Oh, that's not the case with me," declared Mrs. Johnson confidently. "I am getting on splendidly, and Pro fessor Dubois says I shall soon begin to think in French." "Well." the husband murmured, "1 won't interpose any further objection, and I shall be glad when you are able to think in French. It will be some thing you have been unable to do iu any other language!" Twain's Most Quoted Witticism. Of all the witty things said or writ ten by Mark Twain no phrase has been quoted oftener than his reply to an alarmist report, "Ituraor of my death greatly exaggerated." 1 think the his tory of this bonmot, says a corre spondent, may interest. Mark Twain was tui a visit to London some years ago and had been secured as the chief guest of a dinner to be given by a lit erary club. On the morning of the day when the dinner was to take place the secretary was shocked to hear a ru mor that Mark Twain had died sud denly. At his wits' end, he sought to verify it by a diplomatic note to Mrs. Clemens, in which lie mentioned the rumor. Mark Twain got hold of the note and telegraphed the now famous reply, "Ilumor of my death greatly ex aggerated." The Fleur-de-lis. The tlcur-de-lis, the well known em blem of France, is said to have been brought from heaven by an nngel to King t'lovls, he having made a vow that if In- proved victorious In an im pending battle with the Alein'iuui near Cologne lie would embrace t'hristluu- Ity.
