rtED ANTS FOR PEPPER
ftierlence of a Couple Tlint Paid
Visit to Guatemala
The Sunday bullfight held In a large
place de toro bull ring outside the
town was the principal amusement
I cannot say much for this sort of
entertainment The so called bulls
were wornout cows which deserved
a better fate than to be goaded into
some sort of fury by the dashing pica
dors who stuck plcndilloes into them
In most cases they had dropped refus
ing to niove and the audience became
furious
At the end the toreador especially
imported for the day came forward to
the presidential box where we were
sitting writes a woman correspondent
of tfie Boudoir in describing a honey
moon in Guatemala and after a florid
speech of which I understood little he
handed me with a profuse bow exe
cuted in true grandee fashion hand on
heart the begored and flower encircled
picadilloes as a memento of the august
occasion To refuse to accept them
would have been the greatest insult
and mj husband was obliged to carry
them home for me much to his dis
gust
Some Spanish ladies asked me after
ward how I felt when the great niata
dore singled me out for this high honor
When I told them that I was rather
annoyed by his drawing the attention
of the crowd to me in this theatrical
fashion they were furious at my un
gratefulness and toid me it would have
been the day of their lives and they
would have had proposals galore
In the course of a scrambling expe
dition into the country over rough
mountain roads we were obliged to
camp out on hard bowlders with only a
mackintosh to keep out the cold Dur
ing the night I was frightened almost
out of my wits I felt a hand tugging
at my hair and calling out to my
husband we saw a big monkey leaning
down from the branches of a tree
above us pulling away at my hair His
horrible claws had gripped such a lot
that when he finally let go after be
ing belabored with the stock of a re
volver he had nearly half of it in his
hand
On arriving at a very rough and
ready inn the landlady set before us
poached eggs swimming in water plen
tifully besprinkled with small red ants
At first I tried to pick out these addi
tions and seeing the woman eying
me furiously I called her and tried to
tell her in my best Spanish that I was
not accustomed to eat ants and that I
wished she had been careful not to let
them drop into the dish
Her indignation was immense With
flashing eyes and gesticulating wildly
she told me in excited language that it
had taken her a long time to catch
those ants and that it was so good
Do try it senora she said and dip
ping her dirty fingers into the bowl
she fished them out and showed me
how much she at all events enjoyed
eating them as a sort of savory to the
eggs and tried to encourage me by her
example
Feeding Oanje Trees
The biggest and best oranges are not
grown on good soil Fruit growers can
improve ou nature when it comes to
feeding a tree If they want to get the
finest fruit they no longer pick out the
rich alluvial soils Very fertile land
produces citrus trees of rank growth
which often bear enormous crops but
the finest and highest priced fruit
grows on nearly sterile soil This
strange state of affairs is thus ex
plained In fertile soils plant food lg
seldom properly balanced neither is it
present in just the right condition for
producing the best fruit For some rea
son too it isnt possible to influence
fruit through the medium of a rich
fertile soil It doesnt seem to be a
good medium for chemical fertilizers
whereas a soil which is almost sterile
makes the right base upon which to
build up Ideal conditions Trees may
be started in it and then fed with just
such chemicals as will produce the
finest quality of fruit
Rapid Writing-
A rapid penman can write thirty
words a minute To do this he must
draw his pen through the space of a
rod sixteen and one half feet In forty
minutes his pen travels a furlong and
in five hours and a third -a full mile
He makes on an average sixteen
curves or turns of the pen for each
word written Writing at the rate of
thirty words per minute he must make
eight curves to each second in an hour
23S0O in five hours 1 14000 and in
300 days working only five hours each
day he makes not less than 43200000
curves and turns of the pen The man
that makes only 1000000 has done
nothing remarkable there are those
that niake four times that number
Here we have in the aggregate a mark
S00 miles long to be traced on paper
by a single writer In a year In mak
ing each letter of the alphabet we
make from three to seven strokes of
the pen on an average three and a
half to four
BaelileH Unfinished Work
Buckles aim was to trace the his
tory of civilization and from an early
age he set himself to that stupendous
undertaking For twenty years he
worked in silence and unknown and
then published three volumes which at
once raised him from obscurity to the
position he deserved But his book
though long was only an introduction
to his great scheme a mere study for
the important picture he had planned
Yet it was all that he was destined to
perform Worn out vy his efforts he
went to the east search of fresh
vigor and passed a iy at Damascus

sciousness My book my book I

PODPREYS TANKARD
A Seventeenth Century Relic of the
IluKUb In London
A curious historical relic of London
Is the large tankard of soid silver
by Charles II to Sir Edmund
Berry Godfrey for his valuable services
during the plague and the fire of Lon
don for which he received the honor of
knighthood In 1CJ The tankard
which is of plain silver has a hinged
cover and weighs nearly thirty six
ounces Its front js engraved with the
royal anus and the crest of the recipi
ent together with Inscrptlons In Latin
and engravings of scones connected
with the fire which are still in excel
lent preservation The engraving of
the pesthouse men carrying corpses to
the disjial plague pt and that of the
crowded blocks of houses surmounted
by flames are very quaint and curious
Sir Edmund who was born in 1G21 at
Sellings in Kent was a timber mer
chant possessing wharfs at Dowgate
city and at Charing Cros He prosper
ed becime justice of the peace for
Westminster and member of parlia
ment for Winchilsea In history as no
reader of Macauiay and Green will
need to be told his name is most fa
mous in connection with his mysterious
murder which was popularly attribut
ed to the zeal with which he had devot
ed himself to unraveling the alleged
popish plot His body was found in a
ditch near Trimrose hill face down
ward and penetrated by his own sword
under circumstances which precluded
the Idea of suicide or robbery
The excitement caused by this still
mysterious event is indicated by tho
fact that when the funeral jvoccssion
left the city with great pomp ami
pageant for the burial ground of St
it was preceded
by 70 clergy and followed by upward
Cf 1000 persons of distinction
THE JAW AND THE TEETH
What May Happen if We Continue
Uhiiik Soft Fooils
The teeth are really appendages of
the skin and not of the skeleton as
people generally believe The jaw is
formed in accordance with the neces
sity for providing a hold for the teeth
that is if there were no teeth to come
the jaw would grow differently and
would not have its present shape The
jaw is not an independent part as it
would like to be it has to form itself
to accommodate tenants with which
strictly speaking it has no ties of kin
dred
The use of soft foods decreases the
size of the teeth and they will ulti
mately disappear unless we make
more use of them
As there does not seem to be wny
likelihood of a chance in our habits
we must expect to lose them in course
of time Then the jaw will assume
probably another shape Further the
gums might disappear for there can
be no use for them after the disappear
ance of the teeth
The -loss of the teeth makes the lips
fall in and brings us near to the Punch
form of face We find it impossible to
pronounce sounds such as t d sh ch
The change of face so to say will cer
tainly lead to a modification of the
tongue and this in turn to the inability
to pronounce other sounds
Atonic Dyspepsia
The ultimate cause of atonic dys
pepsia is constitutional depression It
may be due to overwork and especial
ly to prolonged worry Sometimes the
dyspepsia is the first manifestation of
tubercular poisoning Again there
seems to be an inherent failure of the
digestive organs Once established
dyspepsia is in turn the cause of loss
of strength of mental inertia and vis
ceral weakness Some degree of sim
ple anaemia Is almost inevitable The
exciting cause may be an illness of any
kind the excessive use of tea coffee
or other beverages the lack of proper
food some error in habits of eating
Often it is not discoverable
Consolatory
A correspondent of an English paper
tells how some one visited a wild beast
show and saw a countryman come in
bearing unmistakable signs of having
had a glass too much A tiger scratch
ed the back of the hand with which the
man grasped a bar of the cage The
laceration was severe and the pain
was great Tho sufferer danced about
and twirled his shillalah crying Let
him out Let him out till I have me
will av him A companion tried to
soothe the irate dancer with this neat
impromptu Never mind Tat Sure
he only wanted to scrape acquaintance
