A HOG ORCHESTRA.
-ch Musician Made the Squealers
Sing a Tune.
tring the reign of Louis Xl. of
ice there was attached to his court
Abbot de Baigne, a man of con
aile wit. The abbot was some
. usically inclined and delighted
the court with inventions of odd tIlu
sical instruments. One day the king,
after having enjoyed a hearty laugh
over one of these curious contrivances
and desiring to baffle this musical
genius, commanded him to produce
harmonious sounds from the cries of
hogs. This seemed an impossibility
to the king, and he prepared himself
to enjoy the discomfiture of the abbot.
Much to his surprise, however, the ab
bot readily agreed to produce them.
All he required was a sum of money,
upon receipt of which he declared he
would invent the most surprising thing
ever heard in the way of musical atroc
ity.
He scoured the country and secured
a large number of hogs, trying their
voices as to pitch and quality, and
finally, hiving fully satisfied himself,
he arranged the animals in a sort of
pavilion richly decorated. The day of
the trial arrived, and the king and his
court entered the pavilion prepared for
something, but greatly in doubt as to
the success of the abbot with the hogs.
However, there were the hogs, sure
enough, and, much to the surprise and
delight of the king, they commenced
to cry harmoniously and in good tune.
rendering an air that was fairly rec
ognized. The abbot had arranged a
series of stops that were connected
with the hogs and upon pulling one of
them out caused, a spike to prick the
hog it connected with, making him
squeal his note. The rest was easy.
'or by pulling out the different stope
he produced the tune.

PRAYERS BEFORE BATTLE.
Curious Invocations by Famous HI
torical Personages.
One of the earliest records in his
tory of a prayer before battle is that
of Childeric, king of Gaul. a pagan.
who before going into battle at Zuel
pich. some 400 years after Christ,
prayed to the God of the Christians to
help him to victory. His foe was At
tila, king of the Iuns, :nd Childerie
vowed if God woold give him the vic.
tory he would embrace the Christla!.
faith.
The lrayer of a Hungarian officei
before one of the battles fought for the
independence of Hungary in 1S49 was
as follows: "I will not ask thee, Lord,
to help us. and I know thou wilt not
help the Austrians; but if thou wilt sit
on yondler hill thou shalt not be asham
ed of thy children." This was the
prayer of the "Fighting Bishop" Les
lie >efore one of the battles fought j:
Ireland: "0 God, for our unwortuines's
we are not fit to claim thy help. but
if we are bad our enemies are worse.
and if thou seest not meet to help us
we pray thee help them not. but stand
thou neuter on tlis day andi leave it to
the arm of the 1lsh."
The cue offe1rt'i biefore the battle of
Edgehill b~v sir Jacob Astley was,
"-Thou inowes5t. o Lord, that I shall
e very buisy this day, and if I forget
thee forget thou not me." and then the
comnmand followed. "March on: boys!"
As King Edward advanced with his
columns to Bannockburn he remarked
to his aids, seeing the Scotch on their
knees: "See, they kneel. The rebels
are asking pardon." D'Umphraville
was lierrd to remaark: Yes. but it is to
the King of kings. These Men conquer
or die on this field."
Oliver Cromwell had public prayers
before going to battle on several occa
sions, :s, for instane. irevions to the
battle of DIunbar. It is a curious fact
that the English prayer book contains
prayers. or at least one prayer. to be
said before going into action at sea.

THE RATTLER'S BUTTONS.
Do Not Rely on Them to Tell the Age
of the Reptile.
It is a very common fallacy concern
ing rattlesnakes that each segment of
the rattle indicates a year of the ser
pent's existence, and it will probably
be accepted until some one devises a
safe method of examining the teeth.
One has only to stand for a half hour
in front of the rattlers' cage at any
zoological garden or museum to hear
it repeated several times. together with
many other bits of misinformation
which make the average "nature sto
ry" seem a statement of bald fact by
comparison.
Although the young rattlesnake
comes into the world equipped with
but a single button on the end of Its
tail. when a year old it may have as
many as a half dozen segments, while
three a year may be taken as a fair
average development. In hunting,
crawling over rough country and
through tangled brush the rattles are
apt to be injured or lost, and occasion
ally a very large specimen is seen with
but two or three segments, while one
of the banded variety procured In
Pennsylvania for the Bronx zoo was
less than three feet in length and pos
sessed seventeen perfect rattles, the
absence of the terminal congenital but
ton demonstrating that one more
pieces had been lost.
A segment is added to the rattle each
time the snake casts its skin, and this
may occur every month of the snake's
active season, which in the northern
stites lasts from early May until the
first severe storm of winter drives it
to the den for its long hibernation.
This casting of the skin, which is com
mon to all serpents and many of the
lizards, is a curious provision to pro
tect the reptile from disease and dis
comfort, and, like most of nature's pro
visions, It is a wise one.
Since the day when the serpent was
cond.emned to crawl abjectly on its
belly, instead of wriggling gracefully
upon its tail. as a punishment for
whispering suggestions for the fall
into the eager ear of Eve It has been
peculiarly liable to injure Its sensitive
integument, and. spending its exist
ence in close contact with the ground,
it becomes the unwilling host of many,
ticks and parasites which are harbored
by the decaying vegetation. Any un
fortunate who has accumulated a few
wood ticks and laboriously removed
them from his hide with the point of a
knife and ammonia will appreciate how
much easier it would be to grow a new
skin and envy the serpent the ready
means at its disposal to rid Itself of
the unwelcome pests. - Francis Met

THE WEST POINT CHAIN.
It Was Nearly a Mile In Length and
Weighed Almost 200 Tons.
From an ironmaker's point of view
the greatest achievement during the
Revolutionary period was the making
of the great West Point chain. This
massive chain, which has probably
never had an equal since the first ham
mer struck upon the first anvil, was
stretched across the Hudson river at
West Point to prevent the British fleet
from making a second attack upon
Kingston and Albany. It was nearly
a mile In length and weighed almost
200 tons, many single links being as
heavy as an ordinary sized man. To
complete it in six weeks sixty men
hammered day and night at seventeen
forges, and the cost of it was placed
at $400,000. "The great chain is buoy
ed up," writes Dr. Tacher, "by very
large logs, pointed at the ends to less
en their opposition to the force of the
current The logs are placed at short
distances from each other, the chain
carried over them and made fast to
each by staples. There are also a
number of anchors dropped at proper
distances, with cables made fast to
the chain, to give it greater stability."
No British ship passe4 this iron bar
rier. With its aid West Point became
the strongest military post in America
-so strong that treachery was tried
where force of arms had failed. When
Benedict Arnold was plotting the sur
render of West Point he wrote Andre
and said, "I have ordered that a link
be removed from the great chain and
taken to the smith for repair." The
chain, however, remained in place till
the end of the war, and links of it are
still to be seen in the museums of Al
bany, West Point. Newburg and New
York.-Exchange.

Where the Horse Bit George.
"Now, please show me the spot where
the horse bit George Washington," was
the astonishing request made by a
country yiitor of his host, a downtown
publisher. The latter had escorted him
about and shown him the statehouse,
the Liberty bell, Carpenter's hall, old
Christ church, the grave of Benjamin
Franklin and the site of the house in
which Jefferson wrote the Declaration
- ' Independence. The publisher had
never heard of the spot where the
horse bit the Father of His Country,
but; equal, to the emergency, he took
his guest to Washington square and
said that it was In one of the corners
of that space (which one he did not

commendation of which event the
square was named after the general.

ATMOSPHERIC ELECTRICITY.
Experiment Suggested by Franklin and
Performed by D'Alibard.
To Benjamin Franklin belongs the
merit of having perceived that a direct
experiment was needed to prove what
ro far was only a guess. In an article
entitled "Opinions and Conjectures
Concerning the Properties and Effects
of the Electrical Matter Arising From
Experiments and Observations Made
at Philadelphia, 1749," the following
passage occurs:
"To determine the question whether
the clouds that contain lightning are
electrified or not I would propose an
experiment to be tried where It can be
done conveniently. On the top of some
high tower or steeple place a kind of
sentry box big enough to contain a
man and an electrical stand. From the
middle of the stand let an iron rod rise
and pass, bending out of the door and
then upright twenty feet or thirty
feet, pointed very sharp at the end. If
the electrical stand be kept clean and
dry a man standing on it when such
clouds are passing low might be elec
trified and afford sparks, the rod
drawing fire to him from a cloud.
"If any danger to the man should
be apprehended, though I think there
would be none, let him stand on the
floor of his box and now and then
bring near to the rod the loop of a
wire that has one end fastened to the
leads, he holding it by a wax handle,
so the sparks if the- rod be electrified
will strike from the rod to the wire
and not affect him."
The experiment sifggested by Frank
lin was successfully performed in Mar
ly, France, by D'Alibard on May 10,
1752; in London by Canton in Spital
square on July 20, 1752, and by Wilson
in Chelmsford, Essex, on Aug. 12 of
the same year. Franklin himself .de
scribed having used a kite in Phila
delphia in a letter dated Oct. 19 with
out giving the date of his observations.
Rosenberger ("Geschichte der Physik,"
volume 2, page 31G) mentioned that it
was done in June.
Franklin's disbelief in the dangerous
character of the experiment must have
received a severe shock when he heard
of the death of G. W. Richman, who,
in the year 1753, was killed by an elec
tric discharge drawn from the clouds
by means of a kite.
When you see the name Rydale in an
Ldvertisement or on a remedy it is a
;ure sign that the remedy advertised is
-ompounded from the prescription of a
pecialist. A specialist in a certain
lisease knows more about and is better
itted to treat that disease than 'anyone
-Ise, and that is the aeason why the
Rydale- remedy never fails to relieve

hey are recommended. Rydale's Stom

THE PENGUIN.
Comically Serious In Mating--its
Wicked Flippers.
It is probable that penguins pair for
life; although nothing definite is. known
on the subject. When mates are cho
sen the process is as interesting as it is
striking. As is the case with so many
creatures, the males fight with each
other for the females, might being
right in the penguin code. The birds
have regular fighting places, and one
such battleground was fou.md under
an overhanging ledge. The results of
innumerable encounters were present
in the shape of -great quantities of
loose feathers surrounding the little
fghting ring, which ifself was clear of
nil debris. Although the beak of a pen
guin is so formidable a weapon when
used on thin skinned enemies, yet their
own skin and blubber are so resistant
that they can inflict no injury by this
means. The customary mode of fight
ing Is really a kind of boxing, or "flip
pering," It might be' called. The two
combatants proceed to the fighting
place and then walk cautiously about
each other, jockeyIng for an opening
and ready to take instant advantage of
a false step or move on the part of the
opponent. All, however. is solemn and
decorous, consistent with the rest of
the life of these strange little beings.
When at last each secures a good
grip on the neck or body of the oppo
nent the real fighting begins.. As nine
tenths of the life of penguins is spent
on the open sea, where they pursue
and capture fish, swimming with great
swiftness by strokes of the flipperlike
wings, It can well be imagined that
the strength of their wings Is very
great, and when the two fighters begin
to belabor each other with rapidly vi
brating flipper strokes each resounding
whack must make a considerable im
pression even on the protecting coat of
blubber fat No one has ever recorded
the finish of such an encounter, but it
is not probable that they result fatally.
The weaker of the two must soon suc
cumb under such severe punishment
and yield the field and the fair penguin
mate to- his stronger rival. The
strength of the wing strokes can be
tested by allowing a penguin to take
hold of one's coat sleeves or. better,
the back of the hand. The third or
fourth stroke will draw blood, and one
is soon fully satisfied as to the pen
guin's ability In this respect. The
tough skin and the loose, rolling blub
er beneath, besides breaking a fall
and protecting the bird from the icy
waters in which it lives, sometimes
subserve another most important pur
pose.-New York Tribune.
