THE JUICY GRAPE.
It. Illatury I. Well Milk a. Old m
'Mint of Muu.
The history of the grape is til most an
old as that of man. Growing in Us
highest perfection in Syria and Persia,
Its recommended it to the
especial care of the patriarchal tillers
of the soil, and vineyards were exteu
slvely planted long before orchards or
collections of other fruit trees were at
all common.
The grape came originally from Per
sia. From the latter country as civili
zation advanced westward this fruit
accompanied It—first to Egypt, then to
Greece, Sicily, Italy, Spain, France and
then to Great Britain, to which latter
country the Romans carried it 200
years after Christ.
To America the seeds and plants of
the European varieties Were brought
by emigrants and colonists the first
fifty years a/ter its settlement.
There are a vast number of varieties
of grapes, but there are really only
about a dozen varieties goo.l for the
table. California produces tlie Tokay,
Muscat, Black Prince, Malaga, etc..
while the eastern states produce such
varieties as the Concord,'Catawba, Ni
agara, Delaware, Black Hamburg and
Isabella.—New England Grocer.
A DEEP SEA GLUTTON.
rhin Murine Wlxnrri Can Sfrallow a
riali Twice It- Own Slae.
"That one animal can devour another
:wlee its own size at a single swallow
s a statement that may seem as in
credible as any fish story ever invent-,
»d," writes Dr. Sanderson C'hristison.
'Nevertheless it is true of certain fish
es. So far as known such fishes are in
labitants of the deep seas, where utterf
larkness perpetually prevails, with an
mvarying temperature almost as cold'
is ice and a pressure ranging, accord
ng to depth, from a quarter to three or
four tons upon every square inch of
their body surface. The deep sea is
?oinmonly regarded as commencing
where the rays of sunlight cease to
jeuetrate, which is estimated to be less
than 1,200 feet below the surface, and
may extend to twenty times that dis
tance or even much more, down to the,
bottom of the ocean. Fishes have been
Iredged from below 12,000 feet.
"A deep sea lish, the Cliiasmodus nl
ger, six and five-eighths of an inch
long, has been found to have swal
lowed another lish ten and a half Inch
es long. The stomach of the devourer
Is stretched as thin as gold beater's
skin. It has sharp, hooked teeth, which
cross each other from opposite sides of
the mouth and usually point backward.
According to Guntlier, the lish after
having seized Its victim with its capa
cious and very movable jaws partly
presses it down as a snake would do
nnil partly draws itself over it. The
prey is received into an esophagus and
stomach the membranes of which are
us extensible as an iudia rubber pouch.
The stomach when empty is contracted
and folded up and projects but little
below the abdomen.
"When a deep sea lish is brought to
the surface, how gradually and careful
soever, its bones are often like so much
touchwood and its muscles like rotten
pulp, while its eyes are burst from its
sockets and its viscera are often blown
out of the body cavity by the expan
sion of the air bladder. It frequently
happens that deep sea fishes are found
tloating helplessly on the surface of
the ocean with large prey in their
stomachs. Their appearance under
these circumstances is accounted for
by the efforts of their struggling vic
tims to escape from their jaws, caus
ing them to ascend beyond the horizon
tal zone which they usually inhabit.
"Deep sea fishes are commonly black
or dark brown. But, although it is
claimed that light is essential to the
formation of colors, some deep sea
fishes are scarlet in parts or uniform
red or rosy. Others are silvery white,
while, according to Alcock, the neo
copelus is 'one dazzling sheen of pur
ple and silver and burnished gold,
amid which is a sparkling constellation
of luminous organs.* "
BOATING ON THE NILE.
The IlcMt rilotN Run Affround TITO OJ
Throe Tlme« a Day.
Navigation on the Nile is not so com
plicated a matter as upon the north
Atlantic, writes Alonzo Clarke Robin
son in Outing. To run at full speed
upon a sund bar is an occurrence ol
such frequency as hcrdly to elicit n
comment from the passengers. The
crew take more interest because they
are obliged to push the boat off again
with poles, and this entails a great
amount of shouting and some work
The Nile below the first cataract is fl
fairly broad, muddy river, flowing be
tween deposed banks varying from
fix to eight to twenty to thirty feet in
height. Its surface is interrupted ev
erywliere by sund spits and islands
upon which are to be seen thousands
of birds. The channel, if such it can
bo called', winds from to the
other and changes completely with ev
cry flood; hence even the best pilots
run aground two or three times a day
It Is, of course, impossible to proceed
at night, and each (lay's voyage come?
to an end wherever darkness happens
to overtake one. The boat's nose is
simply run plump on tlie bank, twe
men leap out and drive stakes to whlcli
to make fast, and there you are for the
night. A very simple and effective
method, without any ostentation and
requiring very little knowledge oi
mathematics; it has also the advantage
of variety. Sometimes one finds one
self alone beneath the wonderful
Egyptian moon lighting up the river
the distant cliffs and the silent, empty
plain, or perhaps one stops near some
little native village, in which ease the
bank is lined with silent, curious tig
ures, who crouch for hours wrapped in
their white cloth coverings. Once we
tied up beside a lonely brick kiln. The
sight was a weird one. The red flare
of the furnace, fed with sugar cane
cast Intermittent flashes of light intc
the night, in and out of which moved
black half naked natives, while over
head was the cloudless, star lit sky of
Egypt.
OUR INAUGURAL OATH.
It IN the Shortcut anil SlmiilcKt Tak
en by Any Huler.
The oath of ofHce taken by the in
coming president of the United States
is the shortest and the simplest re
quired of any ruler on earth. It is pre
scribed l>y the constitution and is as
follows:
"I do solemnly swear (or aflirin) that
I will faithfully execute the office ol
president of the United States, and, tc
the best of my ability, protect, preserve
uml defend the constitution of the Unit
eil States."
—This oath is slowly repeated by the
president elect after the chief justice
of the supreme court, in the presence ol
the public upon a platform erected in
front of the main door on the eastern
sldo of the capltol. While the oath i
being repeated the president elect and
the chief justice face each other and
hold with their right hands between
them a Bible furnished by some person
interested or especially procured foi
the occasion, which becomes the prop
crty of the president after it has been
appropriately inscribed and sealed bj
the chief clerk of the supreme court.
At the close of the oath the president
elect bows his head and kisses the open
page of the book, and it has been cus
tomary for him or for his wife or o
friend to select some appropriate pas
sage at which the book shall bo opened
and the verse upon which he shall press
liis lips. Sometimes, when those inter
ested forget or neglect to choose a pas
sage, the Bible is opened at random,
but the clerk of the supreme court is
always careful to note and mark the
exact place where the lips touched the
page.—Chicago Itecord-llerald.

MVSTERY OF DREAMS.
"hr AVimilrrN tlic Ilrain S«*rs In llie
Fraction of it Secoiul.
It is not unusual to hoar one say that
10 has boon dreaming about unething
ill night, v. lion possibly his dream oc
•upied only a v< rv short time. Many
ittoinpts have born mailo to measure
ho time ooctiph I in a dt am, and rec

mpors showing ti" 112 1 ' 'ihor.iie

ol lowing incident is told by a gontle
nan who vouches for its accuracy:
lie was engaged one afternoon with
t clerk in verifying some long columns
)( figures that had been copied from
me book to another* The numbers,
•©presenting amounts in dollars ant
•outs. were composed of six or seven
iguros. The clerk would road, for in
stance, ••Fourteen, one forty-two,

I4l!.12, and the gentleman would an
swer. "t'he< k." to indicate that the
•opy was correct. I'age after puge had
jeen read as rapidly as the words
•ould be uttered, each number receiv
ng the "cheek." The work was drowsy,
ind it was with diflioulty he could
coop his eyes open.
Finally sloop overcame him. and he
:1 roamed -dreamed of an old horse he
!iad been accustomed to drive twenty-
Bvo or thirty years ago. lie could not
recall any special Incident connected
ivith the dream except the locality and
the distinct sight of the horse and of
the buggy t<» which ho had driven him.
lie awoke suddenly and, as a number
was ended, called "Check." lie was
conscious of having slept and of hav
ing dreamed and said to the clerk:
"Charlie, I have been asleep. How
many of those numbers have I miss
ed?" "None," he replied. "You have
checked every one." Close question
ing developed the fact that «»f the fig
ures $14,142.12 he had heard the four
teen and the twelve, but had slept and
dreamed during the time occupied in
rapidly uttering the words "one forty
two." He tried by reading other num
bers to measure the time and thinks it
could not have boon more than "half a
second.
Another story Is told, of a man who
sat before his lire in a drowsy condi
tion. A draft blowing across the
room set a large photograph on the
mantel to swaying. A slender vase
was in front of it, and the man re
members wondering, in a mood of
whimsical Indifference, whether the
picture would blow forward and send
the vase to the floor.
Finally a gust of wind did topple the
picture, and it struck the vase. The
man remembers having been curiously
relieved in his state of drowsiness that
at last the "old thing was going to fail
and IJO done with It."
Presently he was In the midst of a
complicated business transaction In a
western city miles away. All the de
tails of a now and unheard of scheme
were coming forth from his Hps, and a
boa I'd of directors was listening. The
scheme prospered. lie moved his fam
ily west. Fragments of the journey
thither and glimpses of the fine house
he bought came before bis vision.
A crash woke him. The vase had
struck the floor. Ho had dreamed an
unlived life covering year -., and all in
the time it took for the vase which he
had seen toppling before lie fell asleep
to fall five feet and break.—Youth's

Japanese Men of Iteauty.
Professor Okakura of Tokyo in a
lecture delivered in this country said
that the Japanese ideal of feminine
beauty varied a little between Tokyo
and Kioto, but on the whole the Japa
nese considered that a woman should
not exceed five feet in height, should
have a comparatively fair skin and
be well developed, should have long,
thin and jet back hair, an oval face,
with a narrow straight nose, rather
large eyes, nearly black thick eye
lashes, a small mouth hiding behind
red full lips, oven rows of small whito
teeth, ears not altogether small, thick
eyebrows and a medium forehead,
from which the hair should grow in
circular or Fujiyama shape—that Is, a
shape recalling the truncated cone of
the famous volcano.

MADNESS IN PLANTS.
Mexican Weed* That When t'«e«l
Will Drive Men Cra/y.
Marihuana is a wood used by people
of the lower class and sometimes by
, soldiers, but those who make larger
use of it are prisoners sentenced to
long terms. Tim use of the wood an J
it : sale, especially in barracks and
prisons, are very severely panished, yet
tt lias many adopts, and Indian women
cultivate it because they sell it at ratb
i»r high prices.
The dry leaves of marihuana, alone
»»r mixed with tobacco, make the smok
er wilder than a wild boast. It is said
that immediately after the first three or
tour drafts of smoke smokers begin to
| feel a slight hcadaoho; then they see
everything moving, and linully they
lose all control of their mental facul
ties. Everything, the smokers say,
takes the shape of a monster, and meu
look like devils. They begin tj tight,
and of course everything smashed is a
monster "killed." But there are Im
aginary beings whom the wild man
cannot kill, ami those inspire fear until
the man is panic stricken and runs.
Not long ago a man who had smoked
a marihuana cigarette attacked and
killed a policeman and badly wounded
1 hree others. Six policemen won; need
ed to disarm him and march him to tho
police station, whore lie had to be put
into a straitjacket. Such occurrences
are frequent.
There are other plants equally dan
gerous, among them the tolvache, a
kind of loco wood. Tho seeds of this
| plant boiled anil drunk as lea will
j make a person insane. Among some
cla -es of Mcxic » it is stated that far
i lot la. tho empress of Mexico, lost her
i mind boeafiso she was given tolvache in
a refreshment.
There is in the state of Michoncan
' another plant the effects of which upon
I tho human organism are very curious.
The plant grows wildly in some parts
of Michoaean, and natives have ob
served that whenever they traverse a
Held where there wore many of such
plants they lose all notion of places.
For this reason when a person reaches
j a place wlfero there are many of these
' plants he forgets where ho is going,

| is ar.d what lie is doing there. It takes
; from three to four hours for a person

ulties.
Another very curious plant is the one

where It grows. When a person drinks

I CUSTOMS IN MOROCCO.
l'he Scene ::t the Slave Market lv
M.U-imMNII.
"From time to time wo are taking
our meals in the open air," writes a
traveler to Morocco. "I see the shep
herd boys staring at us frdin a respect
ful distance. To tlieni we must seem
►no better than savages. In tho first
place, we sit on chairs and not on the
ground. We cut.our broad, which, as
every true believer knows, is a wicked
act and defies Providence, since broad
i* from Allah and may bo broken with
tho hand, but never touched with a
knife. Then we do not know how to
rat with our fingers, but use knives
and 112 >rks and spoons, that after mere
washing are common property. We do
not have water poured out over our
flug.Ts before the meal begins the
preliminary wash in the tent is Invisi
ble and does not count- and we do not
say 'Bisinillah' before we start eating,
our daily bathing seems to puzzle
them greatly. I do not notice that lit
tle Larbi and his brother Kasom ever
tempt the sea to wash or drown them.
Yet they look healthy enough and are
full of dignity."
Vividly delineated, too, by the same
writer are the scenes in the slave mar
ket at Marrakish. "The various booths
where the salesmen keep their slaves,
of all ages and both sexes, arc care
fully screened from sight until the
market opens. Then one at a time
these booths empty themselves of their
contents and men, women and children
are marched around the inclosure, the
auctioneer crying out tho latest bid,
and the slave owner pointing out tho
best feature's of his articles for sale.
"Th« v are all gorgeously attired and
decked out to how tliom off to the best
advantage. Due by one the youngest
and Iha fairest and the tittost are
chosen until at the end of the long, hot
ilay only a few aged and weary and
worn are left. They have tramped
round and round the maitiet all day
long, but they are old and therefore
not wanted."
Pi» Sunday.
Palm Sunday is known in En giant",
as Pig Sunday because in many dis
' , trier* tigs are freely eaten on that day.
\ The custom Is common in the villages
of Bedford, Bucks, Hertford and

purts of north Wales. As Palm Sunday
1 i approaches tho shop windows of Dun
■ j stable are tilled with figs In readiness
j for the crowds who goto the top of
j Dunstable downs to regale themselves
; on that day. At Kempton, in Hertford
i shire, to "keep warsel" is to feast on
| figs or fig puddings with your friends
on Palm Sunday, l'ig Sunday is proba
bly connected with tho story of the
barren tig tree, which forms part of
ouo of the lessons for the day.

ST. SWITHIN'S DAY.
TJie Old StiiHTNtli Inn About July Ift
and the Weather.
The old superstition about St. Swith-
In and the rain lias very generally died
out. There are still, however, a good
many who incline to the belief that
such a notion must have had a basis
of sclentilic fact or it could not have
obtained as it lias done for centuries.
Some yours ago the records of Green
wich observatory were examined for
twenty years with a view to ascer
taining whether as a matter of fact
a rainy July 15 is usually followed by
s rainy period approximating to forty
days.
It was found that the years in which
ft. Switbln's day had given no rain
were rather wetter during the follow
ing forty days than other years. It
u*as concluded that the tradition* had
no meteorological facts whatever to
vupport it. Everybody has heard the
old story about the removal of St.
Switbin's bones 011 July 15 and of the
manner in which the saint resented it
by deluging the district. It is a curi
ous fact, but well authenticated, that
the good man's bones were shifted from
their original resting place in circum
stances of considerable pomp and
splendor and without a drop of rain
falling. The origin of the superstition
was probably a terrible tlood which in
1 1313 devastated crops.

work. I*nst July I was plowing corn
nnil feeling: had all day; in the after
noon In plowing one row I had to lay
down, or fall down, throe times. My
heart throbbed as though it would
• burst through, and I had difficulty in
getting my breath. I purchased a
bottle of Dr. Miles" Heart Cure, and
before I had used half of it I could
lav down and sleep all night. Previ
ously 1 had to get up from live to ten
times a night. I have taken several
bottles, and my heart is as regular as
clock work. I feel like a n< w man,
nnd can work considerable for an old
man, 84% years old."
