In a brisk walk of twenty minutes' duration a person brings into play all the muscles of the body, the abdominal organs are shaken into activity, the lungs are filled with fresh air and are thus assisted In their natural function of purifying the blood, the action of the heart is quickened and strength ened, so that the blood, well aerated in the lungs, flows abundantly to the brain and washes out all the poison with which work and worry clog it. Every business man with a sedentary occupation ought to walk to and from bis office if it is possible, as he would derive great benefit from the practice. Curious Beehives. In the village of Hoefel, Silesia, there are a number of beehives in the shape of life size figures cleverly carved in wood and painted in colors. The fig ures were carved more than a century ago by monks of the Npumburg mon astery, who were at that time in pos session of a large farm in the district.

The castle is on the right bank of the beautiful tree fringed Beaver «reek. three miles from the inland town of Camp Verde, and occupies a natura* depression in the vertical limestone cliff 340 feet from the stream and eighty feet above it. The castle propt er is five stories, each story receding by several feet, and is substantially built.

The stones are squared and faced and laid in cement that has stooc 1 the wear of centuries. The lintels over the doors are of hewn cedar. Seen from a distance, it is very striking.

Our Wisdom Teeth. The wisdom teeth are the four last molar teeth to grow. They come one on each side of each jaw and arrive somewhere between the ages of twen ty and twenty-five years. The name is given them because it is supposed that when a person has developed physically and mentally to the point where he has secured these last four teeth he has also arrived at the age of discretion. It floes not necessarily mean that one who has cut his wisdom teeth is wise, but that, having lived long enough to grow these, which com plete the full set of teeth, the person has passed sufficient actual years that, if he has done what he should to fit himself for life, he should have come by that time at the age of discretion or wisdom. As a matter of fact, these teeth grow at about the same age in people whether they are wise or not.— Exchange.

Sensational incidents are not uncom mon in the closing stages of famous criminal trials. One of the most re markable occurred in Melbourne on the last day of tbe trial of Ned Kelly, known as the "ironclad bushranger of Australia." A knife dropped from a gallery overhead and fell at the feet of the desperado in the dock.

He pleaded that the occurrence was purely accidental, and the explana tion was accepted by the court. Burying the Hatchet.
