THUNDER.
Odd Brllrfa Tlint l ?nl to Exist la
On>-a of Old.
Thunder, just because It Is n noise
for which there Is no visible cause, has
always excited the Imagination of the
Unscientific, so It Is natural that tbo
most outrageous superstitions about
storms should date back to the time
when everybody, more or less, was un?
scientific. One eld writer explains tbo
belief of ills day that "a storm is said
to follow presently when n company
of hogges runne crying home," on the
ground that "a hogge Is most dull nnd
of a melancholy nature and so by rea
sou doth foresee the ralno that Com?
eth." Leonard Dlgges, In his "Prog?
nostication Everlasting" (155G), men
I (Ions thnt "thunder In the morning
signifies wind; about noon, rain, and In
the evening, a great tempest."
The same writer goes on to say,
"Rome write (but their ground I see
not) that Sunday's thunder should
bring the death of learned men. Judges
I nnd others; Monday's, tbo death of
women; Tuesday's, plenty of groin;
Wednesday's, bloodshed; Thursday's,
I plenty of sheep und corn; Friday's, the
slaughter of a great man nnd other
horrible murders; Saturday's, a gen?
eral pestilent plague and great dearth."
After this the gay and lightsome man?
ner shown by Lord Northampton to?
ward these grave matters in bis "De
fonsntlve" is most cheering. "It
chnunceth sometimes." he writes, "to
thunder about that time nnd season of
the years when swanncs batch their
I young, and yet no doubt It is a para
1 dox of simple men to think thnt a
swnnnc cannot hatch without a cracklo
i of thunder."?London Chronicle.
A STUDY IN MILEAGE.
I Almont Kvcrr Coantry Una a stand?
ard of IIa Own.
English speaking countries have four
different miles- the ordinary mile ol
I 5,280 leot nnd the geographical or nau?
tical mile of 0,085, making a differ
! ence of about one-seventh between the
two; then there Is the Scotch mile of
5,028 feet and the Irish mile or 0,720
foot?four various miles, every one ol
which is still In use.
j Then almost every country has Its
own standard mile. The Unmans bad
j their mille passuum. 1,000 paces, which
must have been about :5,000 feet In
length unless we ascribe to Caesar's
legionaries great stepping capacity.
I The German mile of today Is 24,318
! feet in length, more than four nnd a
half times as long as our mile.
The Dutch, the Danes and the Prus?
sians enjoy a mile that Is 18,440 feet
1 long, three and a half times the length
I of urn's, and the Swiss get more exer?
cise In walking one of their miles than
I we get In walking Ovo miles, for their
] tulle Is 0,159 yards long, while ours H
. only 1,700 yards. The Italian mile Is
I only a few feet longer than ours; the
I Roman mile Is shorter, while the Tus
I enn and the Turkish miles are 150
yards longer. The Swedish mile Is six
and a half times and the Vienna post
j mile is four and a half times tha
I length of the English mile.?rearsou'i

KEEP THE LIVER CLEAN.
Oon't Overwork It nnd Gtre It a Hem
Onco In Awhile.
A man of common sense and a doc
tor at that said: "The liver Is misuu
?lersteod ami underestimated In it?
functions. If It can be kept clean and
active there Is no reason why w,*>
vhould ever be III a day, and wo should
live to be ISO or 200 years old. It Is not
necessary to rip this organ all to plece?
with ton grains of calomel to get it
stirred up. The best thing to do Is tf
sbut of your food supply for two ot
three days, drop your whisky am.
fdarct, your ten nnd coffee, nnd give
your liver a chance to rest. This should
be done onco a month."
It Is well known, of course, that lr
olden times the liver was supposed tf
ue the sent of the affections. Frlendi
when they met In the morning did no1
salute each other with "How's youi
health?" but with "How's your liver?1
Men take horseback exercise principal
ly for their livers. A good shaking tip
every morning drives away the clrrho
ticblliary cneronehment. It Is nn erroi
to assume that whisky alone produce!
rlrrbosis. Overfeeding Is more often
the cause. If the digestive organs
would organize a union nnd work onlj
eight hours a day all of us would be
healthy and long lived. The trouble Is
we require the liver, stomach, bowels,
heart, brain, muscles, nerves, kidneys,
spleen, etc., to work all the time and
overtime. Wrong. Qlvo them a rest
