A Tree of SftanyJPower
The aRh tree is rich wJHi superstition
The old charlatans of the middle ages
used it in their love potions and the
damsels of ancient times believed that
it would enable them to make their
sweethearts true and help them to dis
cover their future husbands The In
habitants of Iceland still look with
dread upon the use of mountain ash as
fuel Their belief that it will make
enemies of all who gather round a
hearthstone on which it burns is deep
seated and was once almost universal
In Europe
Superstitious seekers after good luck
may still be found Invoking the spirit
of the even leaved ash after the man
ner of the ancient treo worshipers
with the verses
Even ash I do pluck theo
Hoping thus to meet good luck
If no luck I get from theo
I shall wish theo on a tree
The lhllosoplicrB Sport
A balloon trip gives ono a sense of
utter and complete stillness and also
a beautifully serene feeling of aloof
ness from men and tiresome matters
a contempt for the punlness of earth
and an unbounded sense of sociability
and camaraderie with those with
whom one Is basketed aloft In those
few square feet of wicker It is a
philosophers joy ballooning the sport
of the scientific and the idea that it
provides a new thrill or curdles the
blood of jaded and sinful butterflies
may be good enough for the halfpenny
press but not for tho wiseacres of the

There is a right way and a wrong In
the picking up of a horseshoe I was
walking with a country bred boy along
a Somerset lane and saw one lying in
the crumbling summer rut There is
a horseshoe said I The lad sprang
forward but stopped suddenly before
his fingers touched the iron But I
wont pick it up said he or I shall
spoil your luck It may perhaps have
been only a point of etiquette but he
assured me that a horseshoe of my
finding could bring luck neither to him
nor to me if be touched i before me

A TURKISH LEGEND
Why the Much Marrlod Man Got to
the MoNiiae Flrat
Some years ago when General Tew
fik Hussein was the Turkish minister
at Washington he objected to the cu
rious questions the newspaper inter
viewers asked him about the harem
One interviewer however told tho
representative of the sublime porte a
funny story about Brigham Young and
his many wives and it Induced tho
minister to reciprocate
There is a Turkish legend he said
to the effect that If a man prays sev
en consecutive mornings alone In the
mosque for good luck it will come
Near St Sophia mosque Constantino
ple a poor man lived who tried to car
ry out the Injunction but when ho
kneeled to his chagrin he always saw
another man who had arrived first
The fourth morning he could restrain
himself no longer and cried out What
Is the secret of your getting to the
mosque first I get up early and lose
no time The other man asked How
many wives have you When he an
swered One the fortunate man said
Tou can never get to the mosque ear
lier than I for I have four wives
When I wake up one brings me my
clothes another gets my shoes a third
prepares my bath and the fourth
cooks breakfast The result is I lose
no time Now my friend go at once
and marry three other wives and you
will know the secret of my arriving
first at the mosque
The poor Turk followed the advice
and very soon he knew why the man
with four wives got to the mosque
first he stayed there in preference to
staying at home Leslies Weekly
LONDON PUNCH
One Occasion When the Proprietor
Wanted It Stopped
The Introduction of Sir Francis
Burnand to the staff of Punch led to
an unusual incident The Bookbuyer
tells the story Mr Burnand had giv
en up his profession of law and was
devoting himself to writing It oc
curred to him that a burlesque on the
sensational novel of the day and print
ed after the manner of the Loudon
Journal might make a popular hit He
proposed his plan to the editor of
Punch who at once accepted the idea
The first installment came out illus
trated by Gilbert Du ilaurier and
Keene and reproduced in Journal fash
ion It took at once and became the
talk of the town
The day of the first issue the senior
proprietor of Punch was ill in bed
The number reached him with the
Journal burlesque folded on the out
side At first he thought a Journal
had been sent him by mistake but
when he discovered that the page
formed a portion of Punch he did not
stop to read it but sprang out of bed
at once dressed and hurried to the
office
Stop Punch he cried bursting into
the room Stop Punch Youve got
a page of the Journal in the form
It took considerable explanation to
satisfy him that some dreadful mis
take had not been made
This was Mr Burnands first appear
ance on the Punch staff The next
night Thackeray took him to the week
ly dinner and introduced him

Killing Time
To read for either instruction or
amusement is commendable but it is
not so for the sake of killing time Late
in life after his fortune had been
made a successful merchant Mr S
took a young man into partnership
Entering the office on a dull day in the
dull season the millionaire found his
partner yawning over a book Whats
that youre doing Mr S asked
Theres nothing else to do so Im
reading was the answer Nothing
else to do Reading the great mer
chant repeated in a tone that ex
pressed wonder amusement and scorn

Imaginary Disease
The British Medical Journal says
that only an imaginary remedy will
cure an imaginary disease which is
true to the old maxim Siinilia siniili
bus curantur It continues This
may be condemned by the righteous as
quackery and quackery of a kind it
undoubtedly is But if the real end of
medicine is to cure can she when le
gitimate means fail afford to despise
anything that relieves suffering even
though the suffering be imaginary
Forgiveness
I can forgive but I cannot forget
is only one way of saying I frill not
forgive A forgiveness ought to be
like a canceled note torn in two and
burned up so that It can never be
shown against a man There is an
ugly kind of forgiveness in the world
a kind of hedgehog forgiveness shot
out like quills

OTA BENGA AND A CHIMPANZEE
of the lilliputian community wished to
come to America so the ethnologist
brought him along He Is twenty three
years old but about the size of the
average American boy of twelve At
first Ota Benga stayed at the American
Museum of Natural History In New
York as he was an object of much In
terest to the ethnologists there Then
he was given quarters in the New York
zoological park It was then that
trouble arose One day Ota appeared
In a big cage with a monkey Immedi
ately a protest was made against the
exhibition of a man in a cage with a
monkey or other animal on the ground
that it was brutalizing Director Horn
aday of the zoological gardens ex
plained that Otas appearing In a cage
was merely a matter of convenience
as most of the time he had his freedom
to run about the park and slept In a
good room and took a bath every morn
ing He said that Ota was learning
English readily was bright and was
rapidly becoming Americanized

DEEP SEA FISHES
There Being Nothing Else to Eat
They Live Upon Each Other
AH the deep sea fishes are enormous
eaters says a naturalist There be
ing nothing to eat but the life about
them they live upon each other Every
facility for killing and devouring
is provided luminescence to dazzle
swiftness and strength to overtako
and overpower knife blade teeth for
tearing abnormally large Jaws for
crushing Whatever the prey or how
ever large It may be there Is little
trouble In swallowing It The mouth
yawns like a cavern and the stomach
distends to hold a body even larger
than the swallower The appetite In
fishes seems never wanting and com
plete digestion with some of them Is
only a matter of half an hour For
this reason slaughter goes on unend
ingly Usually It is produced only by
hunger but some monsters like tho
bluefish even when gorged kill for
pure love of killing
Of the eternal warfare that goes on
beneath the surface of the waves tho
same writer remarks They follow the
prey like packs of wolves and in turn
are followed band succeeding band
Increasing In size as they decrease In
numbers The herrings eat the smaller
fish even their own young they are
harried by the bluefishes until a trail
of blood stains the water while fol
lowing the bluefishes come the insati
ate porpoises Nothing eaves tho
weaker ones but breed Many thou
sands of eggs are spawned that a
dozen or more may be hatched and
brought to maturity Billions are lost
yes but millions survive
The herrings move on the sea In
uncountaHe numbers in banks that
are miles In length and width In wind
rows so vast that they perhaps keep
passing one given point In unbroken
succession for months at a time Just
so with the menhaden A catch in a
purse net of 500000 Is not Infrequent
Such numbers are sufficient to with
stand all the ravages of the natural
enemy The bass the haddock and
the pollock may kill to their hearts
content and still the menhaden will
hold their own Chicago News
THE BLAST FURNACE
In Cleaning One It Ih XeccHsary to
Use Dynamite
The function of a blast furnace Is
the reduction of ores to metallic iron
The iron ore like stone and coke is
put in at the top and the iron and slag
are drawn off at the base The tem
perature of the interior of a blast fur
nace when in operation varies accord
ing to circumstances but the molten
iron when drawn off Is about 1500 de
grees F Indicating a much higher
temperature inside
To withstand such terrific heat
which is maintained by a powerful
blast of air which acts much in the
same manner as a forced draft on a
boiler the furnace is lined on the in
side with a fine grade of fire brick
thoroughly burned This wall of non
combustible material is about four feet
thick outside of which is the steel
jacket of the furnace about one-quarter
of an inch thick
The lining of a furnace will last
from two to six years according to the
nature of the material smelted the
furnace being in continuous operation
during that time It takes about six
weeks to reline a furnace
After a furnace is blown out or
ceases to be used there is a quantity
of iron which cools and solidifies at the
base of the furnace This is called
salamander and it is necessary to use
dynamite to loosen this material and
get it out of the furnace so that re
pairs can be consummated Salaman
der has a ready sale as it is a fine
grade of pig Iron
As a rule when trade conditions are
good a blast furnace is never allowed
to cool down or be taken out of blast
except at Intervals of several years for
relining Baltimore Sun
Took the Wroncr House
On one of the southern railroads
there is a station- building that is com
monly known by travelers as the small
est railroad station In America It is
of this station that the story Is told
that an old farmer was expecting a
chicken house to arrive there and he
sent one of his hands a newcomer to
fetch it Arriving there the man saw
the house loaded it on to his wagon
and started for home On the way he
met a man in uniform with the words
Station Agent on his cap
Say hold on What have you got
on that wagon he asked
My chicken house of course was
the reply
Chicken house be jiggered explod
