Victims of the Ilnbll Constantly Dose Themselves With Hliocks. "Of all the habits, the one that sticks closest to a fellow Is the elec tricity habit," said a young doctor. "The drink habit and the cocaine habit are mere summer fancies com pared with it. But there is one thing to be said in Its favor; it la usually beneficial. "The electricity habit is contract ed Just like any other hablt.( A few currents are administered during an Illness, taey strengthen and stimu late, and the first thing the patient knows he finds the tonic Indispensa ble. Even after he gets well ha craves the treatment. I know one young woman who makes a fair liv ing hy calling at the homes of elec tricity victims and dosing them with a few shocks from a galvanic battery. "Most slaves to the habit have their own batteries, but they, are afraid to apply the treatment to themselves. That Is practically a groundless fear, for there Isn't one chance In a thousand of a person giving himself an overdose. Still, they prefer an experienced hand to manage the current. Not all the electricity' fiends are Invalids, by any means. Many of them are now as Well as they ever were, yet they have become so addicted to the habit that they require the weekly, semi weekly, or even dally thrills to ton tham un." . , , The Mystery of IU Manufacture la Here Revealed. In these troublous times of revela tions various It Is a happy thought on the part of the Woman's Home Companion to confide to the world one secret which palpitates s with precious possibilities. Certainly no less may be said of a recipe for Philadelphia scrapple. "Here it Is. Boil three or four pounds of fresh pork (quite fat) until very tender, then take out the meat, and season the water in which it was boiled, and thicken It with yellow corn meal, as thick aa for hasty pudding, and let It cook a long time to cook the meat thoroughly. Chop the meat tolerably fine, sea son well, and add it to the mush. When it la cooked put It Into square bread tins to cool; when cold, cut In slices, and fry In a spider until brown. It should not require any fat for frying. Tba Desert Tortoise. On of the most interesting rep tiles of California's great desert la the desert tortoise. I have found as many as twenty of these hard shelled fellows, that we usually as sociate in our minds with the thought of water, in the very heart of the desert, where the water was exceedingly scarce. Yet, when you pick them up, they generally void two or three large spoonfuls of liquid. Dissection shows that they each have two large water sacks on me Dacn, and these afford them their water supply. Tbey are great travel ers and can walk faster than we should Imagine; they aro also good climbers. I have watchMi nn tr hours climbing up and down the rocay sides of a desert mountain. He could wls-Kle himself nn almost as high as he was long. Kalslng Himself on his tall end, h would use hla head aa h fast eT than claw with his right leg until it had secured a good hold; then, with what seemed ta mn rira,,-.-.-. strength, he would lift himself up and wiggle bis body Into a secure position."

A scheme Is being arranged for the protection of the manlike apes In the German colonies or equatorial Africa. It Is proposed in the place that the shooting of these creatures should be strictly forbidden and steps taken for their protection. In connection with this It Is proposed to establish In the Cameroon a spe cial reserve for the fauna of the equatorial forest generally. This re serve would Include a - coologlcal tropical station, . with gardens at tached, In which attention would be specially directed to the. protection and rearing of the anthropoid ape and other denlxens of the forest on. Th scheme would likewise Include th study of th fresh water fauna of th tropics generally as well as the Investigation and cur ot tropical diseases. Th establish ment of a marine zoological station In East Africa and a (perhaps mov able) fresh water station on th great lakes likewli forms a part of the project. - . , ' The Revenge of the Beaver. At the reservoir at Saddleback Pond recently at Rangely, Ms., beav ers' work In dam construction was found to Interfere with th water supply from Saddleback stream. These busy engineers had construct ed a tight dam which had retained considerable of the supply of th mountain reservoir, and workmen each day tore out their work only to find It rebuilt on their next visit Good sized tree sections had been hauled In and placed In the dam by the beavers. After several de structions of the beaver's dams there was again found to be a stoppage In the supply of water through th main pipes. The dam had not been rebuilt, but on close Investigation It was found that these cunning engi neers In revenge apparently . had built a dense screen across th strainer, which bad prevented th flow of water through th main pipe. New England and Napoleon. The hostility of New Englanders to th first Nanoleon was and deep. A remarkable Instance of tnis reeling Is to be found In the manner In which the townsmen of Boston received the news ot his flrst abdication. The- Incident has been brought to notice through an Inter esting exhibit in tha historical col lections of the public library of that city. It Is a ticket admitting the bearer to a "solemn festival at the Ston Chanel, in commemoration nf the goodness of Ood In delivering the Christian world from military des potism. Boston, June 1114." Raise Child's Chair. ' Children who ar too larg for th regular tea chairs often find that the regular dining-room chairs ar much too low. When thla I th case a simple way to make tha chair a trifle higher Is to screw Into th bottom of each leg on of th or dinary door bumper. . Another Misunderstanding. A South side man went bom and told his wife that the doctor had discovered the craving for whisky was caused by autointoxication. "That's right," exclaimed the woman, who was trying to Induce her hus band to buy a machine. "Blame It on th auto!" Burglar Proof Lock.
