Nowhere Is there sueh a corps, ac
cording to tho London Chronlrln. Its
ranks are recruited from outcasts of
nil social rnnks. Dlintrnred ofllcers of
the Htisslnn service, deserters from tho
Oermnn army, broken scions of the
Austrian nohlllty, fraudulent delitors
from Helslum, forKers finm Ppnln,

In the rnnks. No excuse Is taken for a

The Harmless (Iran ftnnlre.
The jioor, harmless grass snake Is tho
subject of stories almost as wonderful
as those related of tho adder. The
superstition that, however much you
lilay hammer It, It will not die till the
setting of the sun Is widely held. A
fable not so generally held to Is that
even nt sundown It will not die If you
should neglect to tell sonic one of what
you have done. Tho rulo on seeing one
of these terrible creatures Is to "hit It
nnd tell" that Is, give It n good drub
bing nnd run quickly nnd tell some one.
The best snake story Is from Leigh
fMnton, nenr Mnlvcrn, according to a
IOiiilun correspondent. A laborer
states that ho bad killed a grass snake
and hung It on a tree. The blood
dripped down and a toad came nnd
swallowed some, dying Instantly)
The fancy that makes this species
poisonous or even harmful Is a wild
one, but how much more wild Is that
which nttrlbutes violent toxic proper
ties to any chance drop of blood from
Its body! It might hnve been thought
tbnt the other popular belief that poi
sonous things cannot bo poisoned would
hnve saved the life of tho poor tond.

There are relatives of Columbus liv
ing In Spain nt tho present time. It Is
said that gambling debts are keeping
them poor. These persons look to the
United Stntes with wistful eyes, hoping
thnt sumo patriotic American will con
fer on them n few millions In recogni
tion of their distinguished ancestor.
Tills fact led a statistician to work his
brain, and ho published the statement
thnt had Columbus placed $1 at com
pound Interest at 0 per cent 400 yenrs
ago his descendants today would pos
sess a sum amounting to more thnn
$S,rt00,(Xkl,000. When these figures were
published Lyman J. Gngo was secre
tary of tho treasury. His attention
was called to the tremendous possibil
ity of n single dollnr, and his comment
was either a sincere remark or a well
adapted imn. Ho snld, "Indeed, to me
tills Is a story of great Interest."
Honors Were Rasy.
"In tho church I attended as a boy,"
said a Now York man, "there were fre
quent clashes between the minister
and the choir. The minister thought
the choir Irreverent and -unmusical.
The choir thought him a back number.
Each tried to give the other a dig on
every poBslblo occasion.
"One Sunday, I remember, there was
a clnsh wherein the honors were about
even. The mlnlHter, after the choir
hnd sung tho opening hymn, snld with
a significant smile, that his text would
be from Acts xx, 'And after the uproar
was ceased.' But the choir, at the ser
mon's end, retorted neatly with the
anthem, 'It Is Time to Awake From
Sleep.' "

The longest known Insect Is undoubt

In a remarkablo manner a piece of

Inches and a half from wing to wing

THE TOWN OF VAFA.
Famous In lllatorr and the Most In.
terestlng Spot In Palestine.
Tafa Is a little town that was many
times destroyed atlke by Jews, Assyr
ians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romnns aud
Turks. It was to Yafa that Hiram,
king of Tyre, sent the cedar wood "In
flutes" which from there were taken
to Jerusalem for Botomnn's temple.
Jonah sailed from tills little town to
Tarslilsh when fleeing from the face of
the I,ord. It was In Yafa that the
humble Dorcas lived her Itfo of good
deeds and upon her dying was raised
to life by I'eter. To this shore the
great Rlchnrd Ciettr do Moti swam,
glided In armor, fighting for Christen
dom, nnd won a victory for the cru
saders over tho Aral). Itotmpnrte left
a memory of his cruelty here by his
nmssiiero of several thousand prisoners
nnd the poisoning of some persons af
flicted with the plitguo. Simon tho tan

all nations were acceptable before

Is a large well of spring water, and

Tardea Tenacious of Life.
The wny cats cling to their proverbial
nine lives Is well known, but the aver
age turtle will make a tougher stand
tlinu nine ordinary cats. Perhaps boil
ing will kill a turtle at once, but any
other method seems hopeless.
The severed head of a snapping tur
tle will bite for an hour after separa
tion from the body. Hut moro wonder
ful is the ImtlfTcrcnce of the green tur
tle of tlie West Indies to mutilation.
A party of naturalists lately returned
give an account of nn experience which
proves beyond doubt that the greeu
turtle's liidlU'erence does not lie In its
head.
A greeu turtle found on the bench
turniHl nnd niiitloVor the water. One
of the party severed Us head with nn
n x and turned the body around. The
hcndlcKs turtle ran, then stopped and
turned toward the water again.
Melon In n Temper.
When Mine. Mclba first tasted the
sweets of fnshlonablo life a Iloston
woman of fashion captured her for a
dinner. Tho Ronton woman loaded her
guest with attentions, nnd after the
dinner sho snld to Melbn, "You will
give us a little song tonight, dear Mme.
Mellin?" Rut the songatress refused.
The Ronton woman pleaded and snld
petulantly: "I am quite sure my guests
will be disappointed. Really you are
qulto unkind." 'This Infuriated the
high spirited singer, and she answered:
"My terms as a dinner entertainer are
$2,1)00. You may see my manager if
you want me to sing for your guests."
Then Melbn got her wraps and went
away in a frenzy of anger.
What He Missed.
"An old negro living In Carrollton,"
relates the Roswortb (Mo.) Star-Sentinel,
"was taken ill and called in a phy
sician of bis race to prescribe for hlin.
Rut the old man did not seem to be
getting better, and Anally a white phy
sician was called. Soon after arriving
Dr. S. felt the darky's pulse for a mo
ment and then examined his tongue,
'Did your other doctor take your tem
perature?' be asked. 'I don't know,
snh,' he answered feebly; 'I hain't
missed anything but my watch as ylt
boss.' "
The Shorter Way.
"I understand that you havo been
experimenting with a view to discov
ering the philosopher's stone?" said the
boyhood friend.
"Yes," said the intellectual man. "If
I dlscoror it, I shall become rich."
"Rut what's the use of watting so
long? Why don't you get stone
straight from the quarry and get rich
on paving and building contracts the
same as I did?" Washington Star.

root It out or existence or shun it as a

a food, nnd yet during the Irish famine
hiinilreils of poor people existed entire

Irelund's Wonderful Linen.
Whether or not Ireland Is the finest
count 17 In the world for growing flax.
It is beyond dispute the finest in the
world for bleaching linen, an operation
which requires from six to eight weeks,
according to the nnture and weight of
the fabric. Nowhere else can the snow
white finished fabric be turned out to
rival the Irish bleach. France, Bel
glum, Germany and the United States
have all entered Into competition and
retired unsuccessful. Tho quality of
the water, the climate and the inherit
ed experience of the Irish bleacher
must all contribute to the result which
bits bad abundant practical demonstra
tion that Ireland now occupies and hni
always occupied the first place In the
whole world for bleaching and finish
ing linen.
I'rnlt Seeds anil Appendicitis.
Many very Intelligent people are de
terred from swallowing tho seed of ber
ries, grapes nnd other fruits lest tho
lodgment of these small bits of Inillges
fllileiiess may Induce that dreaded nccl
dent appendicitis. This fear Is utterly
baseless, since the healthy appendix is
protected by a valvular arrangement
which prevents even the smallest seeds
from entering It. It Is only after in
flammation has already destroyed Its
normal protection that nny foreign sub
stance can gain access to It. To feel
compelled to eschew nil seedy berries
and fruits Is to seriously curtail one's
dietary, nnd It Is entirely unnecessary.
In fact, tho free nnd constant uso of
rpe berries and fruits of nil kinds is
one of tho best preventives of this dan
gerous dlseuse. Fruit eating prevent
or helps to overcome constipation, and
constipation Is tho most proline cnuso
of appendicitis. The physician should
thoroughly disabuse his patients of this
mistaken notion. All tho smooth seeds

to those who wen? In sickness or need.
They could count oil I1I111 1111 a pinch.
Rut he did not holiuoli with his neigh
bors. "He did not notice them much," said
an old man In answer to questions
asked by tho author of "Lake Country
Sketches."
"A Jem Crow nnd an nuld blue cloak
was his rig." continued the old man.
"And ns for his habits, he l ad nonn.
Nlver knew him with a pot' I' his bnnd
or a pipe I' his mouth."
After deep probing the author brought
out:
"Yes; Wordsworth wns fond of a
good dinner nt times If you could get
hlin to It. That was the Job."
Then the poet's aloofness wns again
touched upon.
"Ho wns forever pnclng the roads
and his own gnrden walks nnd n I ways
composing poetry. Ho wns ter'ble
throng in visitors and folks 'ye 1111m
ken nt times, but If he could get mra'
fra them a spell he was out upon his
walk.
"And then he would set his head a
bit forrad nnd put his hands behlnt his
back. And then he would start n-bitm-mittg,
and It was bum, bum, bum, and
go on bumming for long enough right
down and back again. I suppose, ye
ken, the bumming helped him out a
bit."
Mitt n (inod Looker.
From the mountains of Camden, Me.,
comes u story of 11 Philadelphia mer
chant who has a summer cottage In
that village and who wished to ex
chnne 11 lively horse which he owned
with a French Canadian who hnd a
more gentle animal, which women nnd
children could drive. The Frenchman
was willing to trade, but for boiiio rea
son Insisted upon repeating to tho vis
itor that the locul horse did not "look"
ns well as the one belonging to the
rhlladelphla mini.
An exchange satisfactory to both
pnrtli'S was eventually made, and tho
first time the visitor's wife took tho
new horse out for a drive she discov
ered that the beast was as blind as a
mole. A few days later, when the ros
ticutor met the Frenchman, ho snld:
"See here, you rascal) Tljt horse
you swapped with me for mine was
stone blind. Why didn't you tell me
of It at the time?"
"Ati'm bin try tell you all Ah'm bin
know bow fer to tell. Ah'm bin sny my
horse was no look Ink you horse say
so seex, nine tains. Ah'm no bin blam'
eef you no hear me." Philadelphia

Trees Shaped by the Wind.
The effect of wind upon trees Is pow
erful. Even the presence or absence
of forests may be determined by the
character of the prevailing wind or the
conditions thnt modify It. The wind
acts as a drying agent, giving a special
aspect to many plants. When It Is al
most always from tlie same quarter
the plants show greater development
upon one side. Trees are smaller on
the windward edges of forests, and
trunks and branches are bent to lee
ward. Tho deformations are most mark
ed near the sea or In lint regions. Tho
cherry, plum, walnut, bluck poplar,
ash nnd certain pines are very sensi
tive to the wind, hut mountain pines
nnd certain firs offer grent powers of
resistance, and these ore recommended
for reforesting wind swept lands.
