The words were so authoritative

LUXURY AND GOOD HEALTH.
Dap May F.njoy lloth In These Days
of Sanitary Foods and
Drinks,
There never was a time, perhaps, in
the history of the world when there
was such a determined effort to find
and keep good health as at present.
Young and old are beginning to real
ize, apparently, that something must
he done to preserve bodily vigor.
Foods almost by the hundred are of
fered as sure promoters of vitality
and attractive advertisements con
tain more or less learned discussions
upon the value of strong nerves, pure
blood and a clear brain, says the
Cleveland Leader.
Those who do not live upon health
foods are devoting much of their
time to physical culture and nearly
every house in which there are young
people contains its quota of gym
nasium apparatus. Outdoor and in
door sports have more devotees than
ever before. Golf, baseball, football,
tennis, basketball, bowling and other
forms of amusement which induce
perspiration and increase the action
of tlie heart are depended upon to
supplement more physical culture, so
called, in building tip strong bodies
ami laying the foundation for good
health and long life.
Rattles of the Rattlesnake.
The rattlesnake’s rattle consists of
a number of hollow, horny rings,
somewhat like quill in substance and
interlocked with one another, while
they are so elastic as to permit of a
considerable amount of motion be
tween them. These rings are not in
dicative of age, as has been supposed,
since in some years several appear,
while in others only one ring may be
developed.
Allied Senses.
The sense of smell is most nearly
allied to that of taste. Hearing and
seeing depend upon nerve responses to
vibrations in the air in the ether. In
order to taste a subject it has to be
wholly or partially dissolved; in order
to smell a substance it must encounter
the olfactory organs as it vapor, an em
anation, a cloud of particles arising
from odoriferous matter.

ORIGIN OF “GREENHORN.”
Term I'sed by Hunters Many Tears
Ago to Designate Decs with
Ailing Antlers.
The democratic cloakroom of the
senate held a congenial company, of
whom Mr. Vest, of Missouri, was the
center. There were scintillations and
pithy reminiscences, the conversation
eventually turning to former Senator
Turpie, of Indiana, AM agreed that
he was a man of erudition, and some
one ventured that Mr. Turpie, now re
siding among his own people in the
Hoosier state, is one of the best In
formed in belles left res of any man
who ever came to the senate, says the
Washington Post.
“I reeall,” interposed Senator Vest,
“an incident along that line, which
demonstrates what a marvel Mr. Tur
pio is in his fund of information. I
was once in a company wherein ques
tion arose as to the origin of the term
‘greenhorn.’ The question went
around until It reached Mr. Turpie.
“ ‘Oh, yes,’ observed Mr. Turpie,
readily. ‘lt Is a term that was used
many years ago in hunting. The word
was used of deer which at certain sea
sons of the year have soft and. green
horns, and resort to muddy depressions
in the landscape, where they can
plunge fhost' horns into the mud and.
water to cool them.
“ ‘There the deer became easy prey
for the hnnfens, and accordingly, l>e
eame known as ‘greenhorns.’ From
that we have the use of the word as
It Is applied to men.”
HEIRS OF JOHN HANCOCK.
Dnceailuiita of IJie American Patriot
Put la Claims fur Fre.nch
Spoliation Money.
It looks as if the “‘line of descent"
from John Hancock of revolutionary
fame might have to he run down for
the purpose of determining at this
late day who are his heirs-at-law,
says the Boston Herald. Though the
governor died about 1783, and all his
estate then apparent was adminis
tered upon by Dorothy Hancock, his
widow, it has recently come to pass
that his estate is entitled to some
thing by virtue of a French spolia
tion claim, and in order to receive
payment of it supplemental admin
istration has to be taken out on his
estate.
A few months ngn Mr. Ororge A.
King, an attorney, upon the request
of Mrs. Elizabeth L. H. Wood, upon
the supposition that she was the
only heir at law of the patriot, filed
a petition in the Probate court for
Suffolk county, asking that he be ap
pointed administrator of the nnad
iniiiistered estate. It now appears
that Mary S, Sanford, of Westches
ter, says that she is one of John
Hancock’s heirs, and Albert F. Con
verse, her counsel, has fl'e.l an ap
pearance in the ease in oppo-it on to
the petition. The matter is. finding
in court, no day for the considera
tion of the matter having been fixed.
KILLING OFF GAME BIRDS.
flbld Ktorgge System Assists In the
Extermination of tbe Wild
Fowl! of Hie Country.
The Audubon society of Missouri
calls attention anew to the fact that
cold storage is hastening the extermi
nation of wild animals. Congress has
passed a law regulating the traffic and
shipment of birds and game, but im
mense seizures by government officers
show that the statute is extensively
violated.
It is now held by persons who have
given special attention to the subject
that the only sufficient remedy is to
prohibit the sale of all game. It has
been ascertained by the Audubon so
ciety of Missouri tjint within the past
15 years song and Insectivorous birds
in Missouri have decreased 6iper cent,
and game birds over 80 per cent. Last
year one seizure in New York included
50,000 game birds and l ls,ooo songbirds.
In Chicago 33,000 game birds were
seized and a whole ear load of quail
was rtptured iu Indian territory.
Game and song birds are going fast and
the proposition to slop their sale en
tirely gains supporters fast.
JAPANESE TO TEACH CHINESE.

Owing to the.hostility of the govern

Japanese language at the Imperial uni

and the policy of economy In connec

western sciences. The teachers are
opposing the rude Japanese transla

It will be recalled that in dealing
with the difficulties arising from the
indemnity protocol, the negotiations
largely devolved upon the Yang-tse
viceroys, one of whom is Chung C'hih

these negotiations, the throne lias

It was a ease in which the victim had
nothing to say. When he returned to
consciousness, ids left leg had been am
putated at the knee, and he was lying
among a hundred other wounded men.
The loss of his money occurred to Idm
at once, and he made the fact known
to a comrade who had been shot in the
shoulder.
"(Jo out and find my left leg and that

said the corporal, and the man agreed.
It was easy enough to find the "scrap

time. The messenger made a selection
and removed the shoe, but there was
no money, lie tried again and again,
but did not hit It. Then he gave up
and searched no further. Soon after
he let go a soldier who had been
slightly wounded In the head came
along and looked the "scrap heap" over
and said to himself
“There are some good shoes here, and
it would be a pity to bury them with
legs and feet, i'll change mine for a
better pair."
In overhauling the relies he came
upon Corporal Meiadden’s left leg. He
removed the shoe and found It a lit.
Then he found a right one and was
provided for. (Irani moved by the
Hank that night, and the Confederates
did the same. The held was left in pos
session of the I'nion forces. Next
morning the work of burial began.
While a big hole was being dug for the
amputated arms and legs Corporal Me-
Fadden sent word to the sergeant In

“Here's a whole wagon load of left

No effort was made to do so. After
an hour or so the last limb was tossed
Into the pit, and the men began shovel

the sergeant suddenly said;
“Here, now, but you’ve overlooked
that leg la the bushes. You, Smith,
haul it out and dump It in."
“Hut there’s something Inside the

I see what it is.”

McFuddcn was sent to a hospital In

to the front, and one day before Peters

To ease his conscience he told about the
“divide,” and a chaplain wrote down
his confession. When the other two
men were called up, they denied the
story. A surgeon and a staff oUlcer be

That there are some animals which
cannot thrive without salt Is well
known, but no very clear demonstra
tion of this was forthcoming until M.
liesn/.lnges, a French traveler, noticed
some remarkable eaves In the Oristadt
district of the Transvaal and discover
ed, to his surprise, that they had been
gradually formed by animals licking
the salt of which their walls were large
ly formed.
“Each of these grottoes, or caves,"
he says, “Is as large as an ordinary
drawing room, and the natives assured
me that they had been entirely hollow

known In this country as ‘dwlcks.’
Wishing to learn why the animals bus

that their walls were Impregnated with
salt. Its presence being clearly revealed
by very characteristic crystallizations.
A day or two Inter, as I was hunting,
I noticed 1 I antelopes rush out of one
of these eaves as soon as they heard
rue approaching.”
M. Itesu/.lnges also says that the elks
In the Transvaal have a similar habit
and may often be seen searching for
salt near quarries or deposits of marl.
