The Sacred Lotus .
Coiicvrnitig the' rich fruit of the
lotus which grew luxuriantly in the
Nil", many charming legends have
lieeii told. It was lielieved that it was
o delightful that thwe who ate of it
would never leave the pot where ij
grew, hut for it would ahandon home
nod friends to upend their lives in a
dream of serene delight. Homer, in
the Odys.sey, mentions the lotus-eaters,
who lived on the northern ooat of
Africa, and records their attempts to
detain the followers of Ulysses by
giving them the fruits of the lotus to
at, so that they should never wish to
leave the spot where it grew.
The same jKK tieal idea Is known to
the Arals, w ho call it the "fruit of the
dotiny," which is to lie eaten in Para
dise; and it is on this foundation that
Tennyson built his charming poem of
the Iotus-Fjiters." This mythical
lotus has been identified by se7eral
is.tanists with that indigenous to Tunis
which is a thorny shrub, with lierries
of the size of an olive.
Mungo Park found a ppecies of lotus
in Central Africa U'aring U-rries of a
delicious taste, which on ln-iug dried
and pounded, made very wholesome
aud pleasant bread. The lotus fruit
found in Tunis lias a stimulating,
almost intoxicating efl'ect, and it is
therefore probable that this plant fur
nished the foundation of the ancient
legends.
The sacred lotus of the Egyptian
was a fine aipiatie plant, dedicated to
Mris and Isis, aud regarded in Fgyp
tiau delineations as signifying the
creation of the world. Distinct from
this lotus was that known as the blue
lotu of the Nile, also a sacred plant .

About Shellac
India is the home of the'eoccus lacea,
the insects that pr.iduce the resiuous
substance known as shellac. The fe
males puncture the twigs of several dif
ferent kinds of trees, among thein tl.e
Ui, the bihar and the butea, and the
twigs become incrusted with a hard,
nearly transparent, reddish, resinous
sub-taiuv, that serves the double pur.
pose of protecting the egg and finally
furnishing food for the young inseeb-.
The incrusted twigs are broken fr.nu
the trees U-fore the young insects
scajio, and are thoroughly dried in
the sun. These dried twigs are called
'stick-lac," and from them shellac and
a dye attalog'Mis to cochineal are pre
pared. "Sced-lae" is the resinous con
cretion separated from the twigs,
c.iarsely pounded, and triturated with
water in a mortar, by which nearly all
of the coloring matter is removed.

From the Prra, Kew York CUy.
For more than fifteen years. Mrs. A. Mather,
w ho lives at No. 43 list One-hundred-and-twelfth
Street, New York, was a sufferer from
ana-ioia, which, in spite of the treatment of
physicians, gradually developed into nerTons
prostration until finally marked symptoms of
aralysis set in. Mrs. Mather gladly gave the
it porter her experience:
"For many years," Mrs. Mather said, "I
w as a constant sufferer from nervousness, It
was about fifteen years aim that my condition
began to grow worse. Soon I became so af
fected that I was prostrated and, until about
two years siro, was part of the time unable to
leave my lied. My blood became greatly im
poverished and after years of suffering I was
threatened with paralysis.
" When I walked I could scarcely drag my
f.'et along and at times my knees would give
away so that I would almost fall down. Feel
ing thai doctors could not help me, I had little
hope of recovery, until one day I read in a
newspaper how a person, atHicted almost the
same as I was. had been cured by lr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I pur
chased a Uix and lieinin taking the pills. The
effect of this first box pleased me so much
tliai I bought a n niter. IVfore 1 had taken all
the pills in the first box I hecan to expe
rience relief and, after the third box had been
used. I had been practically cured. It waa
really surprising what a speedy and pro
Doeuced effect the medicine had upon me.
" I always keep Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
in the house sow, and when I feel any symp
toms of nervousness find that they give me
certain reiief."
These Pills are manufactured by the Pr.
Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady,

Jones of Arkansas.
rsenator Jones, of Arkansas, chair
man of the democratic national com
inittee, played politics at St- Louis for
all he was worth. He had some
shrewd men among the populisU to
deal with, but the majority of the del
egates were country people with con
siderable lung power, but not much
knowledge of how business, is done in
a national convention. Jones knew
that Bryan would be in need of all the
votes he could get, and when he saw
how unpopular Sewall was his play
was to carry his point by securing the
endorsement of Ilryan by using Wat
son. This point gained by the virtual
betrayal of Sewall, or a pretense of it,
the next step is to get rid of Watson,
who is objectionable iu the south, by
getting him to withdraw, with the
promise of an office should Bryan be
elected.
Walson, it is inferred, can lie induc
ed or forced to withdraw. But the rage
of the southern populists, when the
details of the scheme are made plain
and they see themselves face to face
with Sewall, a plutocrat, may be inter
esting. It will need all of Bryan's
magnetism aud oratory to allay the
feeling. Farmers are hard headed peo
ple, but as a rule, they are honest, and
can punish when they choose. It is
not at all certain, notwithstanding the
astute generalship displayed at St.
Louis, that the tricked southern jiopu
lists, if Watson is made to retire, can
b? forced to vote for Bryan and Sewal'.
There is a further chance, of course, of
oliscuring the matter by arranging the
electorial voters. The . McKinley
managers should see to it that the deal
is exposed in all its details. Although
Jones was sharp enough to secure
Watson in place of Sewall, his action
d es not lessen the discredit attaching
to 1 try an for consenting to the olutnge.
Everybody knows that Bryan and
Jones were in close communication by
wire during the convention. They
understood each other. Baltimore

Perfection in Cake-Making.
Housekeepers frequently wonder
why it is that they can not make bis
cuit and.cake that are light and pal
atable and that taste as delicious as the
biscuit and cake made by their mothers
and grandmothers, the delightful mem
ory of which even to this day creates a
sensation of pleasure to the palate. The
trouble arises from the highly adulter
ated state of the materials they have to
work with, particularly the cream-of-tartar
and soda that are now procur
able for domestic purposes contain
lorge quantities of lime, earth alum
aud other adulterants, frequently from
five to twenty-five per cent, and con
sequently vary so much In strength
that no person can tell the exact quan
tity to use, or properly combine them,
to insure perfect results. F"rom using
too much or too little, or because of
the adulterants in them, bitter, salt,
yellow, or heavy biscuits or cakes are
frequently niade. These adulterants
are also injurious to health.
All this trouble may be avoided by
the use of the popular Royal Baking
Powder. Where this preparation is
employed in the place of erearn-of-tar-tar
and soda, its tierfect leavening pow
er always insures light, flaky, digesti
ble biscuit, cakes, and pastry, that are
perfectly wholesome and free from the
impurities invariably present when the
old raising preparations are employed.
The Iloyal Baking Powder, we are
informed by ihemost reliable scientists
Is perfectly pure, being made from
highly refined ingredients, carefully
tested, and so exactly proportioned and
combined that it never fails to produce
the best and uniform results. An
additional advantage in its employ
ment comes from the fact that bread
or other food made with it may be
eaten while hot without fear of indi
gestion or any unpleasant results,
while being equally sweet, moist, and
grateful to the palate when cold.

always gained an effect by pulling ofT
the Angers of his gloves separately and
deliberately to accentuate certain words,
but that under inspiration he would
throw technique to the winds and have
the glove off with one jerk. Who that
has ever seen his Bob can forget those
brilliant green gloves and tho fun he

On the Pther band, tho evil effects of
long runs arc indisputable. Prominent
among them is a general mental weari
ness which often causes one to forget
the most familiar lines and to turn
blankly to the prompter's box or to
some friendly actor for the words. This
happened to me several times, notably
in "The Winter's Tale" in London,
where, after playing it 100 nights, I had
to bo prompted, in several tif Hermionc's
great speeches. Edwin Booth, during
the long run of Luulet" at his own
theater, frequently calld for the lines.
An actor who waa in his company told
me that Booth turned to him one night,
and with a look of consternation asked
what he was to say next Ilia mind for
the moment had become a blank. The
actor gave him the word. Booth began
the speech, faltered again, was prompt
ed a second time, but finding it impos

voice, "Ring down the curtain."
Many other examples might be cited
to show how weary the brain grows aft
er acting the same part six or seven
times weekly for 100 or 200 consecutive
nights, with only the rest of Sunday to
distract the mind. Mary Anderson's

"Smith went into the manufacturing

'Oh, yes. He got interested in a sew

later they took up bicycles and are doing

The microscope has'been very slowly
evolved and is the creation of no one
man. In its present form it is, like a
living species according to Darwin, the
outcome of the survival of the fittest of
innumerable variations, the majority of
which have been discarded. Indeed to
jue interested in microscopes and famil
iar with the present model nothing can
seem quainter than tbe old forms which
prevailed during the earlier half of this
century and have since become extinct.
In tbe evolution of the microscope two
fact jrs have been dominant, the demand
for optical improvement and the de
mand for mechanical convenience. Both
of these demands have been well met, so
that there appears little left for the fu
ture to achieve until an entirely new
direction is opened for further evolution,

Fate of Two Snakea.
A Forest aud Stream ctrrrspoudi ut
tells South Africau snake story. Two
snakes were at tbe bottom of a CO foot
mine shaft. The ennkes were each about
10 fee t long and of one of the most poi
sonous spefies, known us manibus. Now,
miueis und 10 foot nianilaselonotutaee
very w 1L r.ud this is especially true
when liuh are at the bottom of a min
ing t-haft The miners whose claim had
been jumped sent a message down to
the suakes with eirders to come up. Tho
message was a butt Jo t,f dynamite with
a lighted fuse attache-d. The snukes
obeyed tbo summons at once. They
ciuue trp the icrpenUicular shaft with
such speed that the y rhot up 80 feet
above tte ('peuiug of the shaft. When
they came down, they were somewhat
mixed. The two tails had in some way
got tangled into a wjuare knot such as
sailors tie. Tho snakes wanted to go in
opposite directions, but their efforts were
in vain, aud they fell to and stung one
another to death.
The Feirest and Stream does ntt vouch
for this story. It would have been all
right to have the p naka Llwnout of
the fhaft, but tho sailor's knot sent it
