Discovered Rare Disease.
During the eighte?.ith century Dr.
Percival Pott, of London, who was one
I of the best known physicians in that
period, discovered the disease of the
spine which he called “vertebral ca
ries,’’ or decay of the backbone. The
treatment ultimately prescribed was
plenty of pure food, sunlight, fresh
air and sleeping outdoors all of the
time.
Not What She Meant.

social function, opened with a gam# Of

Reason for Superiority.
The demestlcation of animals and
the utilization of plants does not go
very far except under a civilized peo
ple. Contrast the age of Peru and
Mexico with that of Egypt. Babylonia
and China; and one reason for old
world superiority in the mastery of
nature is plain.

[MORE TROUBLE IN A GARDEN
j Old Gentleman Went Too Far in Hit
Inquiry, and Demonstration
Proved Hit Undoing.
An elderly gentleman walking
through his garden one day stopped
before a fig tree on which were two
figs jurft ripening. His favorites were
figs, and summer often came and
went without the fruit coming to ma
j turity.
Shortly after, he met his gardener,
who, assuring him the figs were quite
ripe was requested to send them to
the summer house, where his master
was about to rest.
Picking the figs, the gardener sent his
little boy of seven with the basket. On
the way the little fellow stopped and,
removing the leaves, gazed upon the
tempting fruit
The attraction was too great; he ate
one. Covering the other with the
leaves, he proceeded upon his errand.
On being asked If the gardener had
not sent two figs, the boy, after a mo
ment's silence, answered: “I ate one."
“You ate oneT How?” exclaimed the
old gentleman, angrily. “How did you
come to do that?"
Dropping his eyes to the basket “1
took it like this,” said the child, taking
the remaining fig, “and I ate it like
Uils.”
And, suiting the action to the word,
he consumed the second fig before the
astonished eyes of the old gentleman.
LITERAL IN HIS THEOLOGY
Darky Preacher'# Humorous Common*
on Biblical Text As Ho Under
stood Its Meaning.
Of old the right of Individual private
interpretation of the scriptures wan
not accorded to the laity. Only the
priests or preachers were authorized
to say what was meant by the sacred
text. That has all been changed, and
no man will now be expelled from the
most orthodox church for believing
that Balaam's palace mule did not
really address his follow citizens of
Judea on the political issues of the
day, or considering that the statement
of the sun’s standing still at the order
of Captain Joshua was an illustrative
allegory and not the record of a frozen
fact.
This advance in theology la Illus
trated by the story of the darky
preacher who delivered a sermon from
the text, "These eight did Milcah
bear."
“Muffrlnds,” said he. "you is singu
larly blessed by de Lawd in die gen
eration. If you wants some milk you
done goes to youah cow, and at one
milk you gets enough of de laciferous
fluid foh eight people. In de oldee
times of which de Bible speaks It
took eight folks to milk a bear, eu t
specs dey gets mighty little milk at
daf—Los Angeles Times.
Spiders Catch and Eat Fish
Specimens cf the spider known as
Thalassius Spenceri are in the mu
seum at Durban, Natal, and the cu
rator, E. C. Chubb, has just made sci
entific announcement of the discovery
of a member of this species in the act
of catching fish for food.
One of the spiders was captured
several years ago by the Rev. N.
Abraham at Greytown, and it was
placed in an aquarium. A servant
boy soon noticed the creature eating
a pet fish, and the startled clergyman
left his study to watch.
The spider, three Inches across with
legs extended, stationed Itself at the
water’s edge, with two legs on a
stone and the eight others spread out
on the water. After a time a fish
came under the outstretched legs,
which were suddenly thrown around
it as the spider made a plunge, driv
ing its fangs into its prey, and then
at once climbing out on the rocks. It
soon ate a fish of four times its own
weight.
Bagdad and Queen of 8heba.
The Bagdad of the “Arabian Nights"
still exists, but in a greatly diminished
form. In fact the grand old palace*
and mosqueB of Its prime are nearly
all In ruins, and only a small popular
tlon lives where once was a city of
2,000,000 people. A new city 1*
gradually coming inW existence on
the opposite (east) bank of the Tigris,
the site being valuable from a com
mercial point of view. The inhabitants
number about 200,000, and are mainly
Bedouins. Tha famous palace of Han
oun-al-Raschild has disappeared, and
the foreign consulates occupy its site.
It is only a tradition which asserts
that the queen of Sheba, who once
visited King Solomon, lies burled un
der an eight-sided brick tower bear
lag her name in old Bagdad. The citl
zens have ceased to venerate it, we
are told, and the tower is approaching
a state of ruin.
Concerning Men With Tails.
It would not be wise to build upon
the story of the coast natives that In
the interior of Papua there are men
with tails. Similar beliefs have been
held in many parts of the world and
many ages, sometimes from impres
sions of apes, sometimes from more
or less spiteful credulity about a peo
pie’s neighbors. For centuries it wae
a common gibe on the Continent that
Englishmen had tails. It originated
from the story that the people oi
Canterbury or Strood, having mocked
at St. Thomas riding upon a little asa
and cut off its tall, were punished
with the curse that thenceforth all
their boys should be born with tails
And the scoffs of other Englishmen at
the “Kentish lougtails” rebounded up
on the whole nation, so that even in
the t>",e of Edward VI. Englishmen
*b' a* suffered from the taunt.
