ALLHALLOW EVE. Its Observance Is Clearly a Relle of Old Pagan Times. The observance of Allhallow eve, or Halloween, is clearly a relic of pagan times, for there is nothing in the church observance of the ensuing day of All Saints to have originated such extraordinary notions as are connected with this celebrated festival or such remarkable practices as those by which it is distinguished. The leading idea respecting Halloween is that it is the time of all others when supernatural influences prevail. It is the night set apart for the walking abroad of spirits, both of the visible and invisible world. One of the special characteristics attributed to this mystic evening is the faculty conferred on the immaterial principle of man to detach itself from the body and wander abroad through the realms of space. Divination, or second sight, is believed then to attain its highest power, and the gift asserted by Glendower of calling spirits from "the vasty deep" becomes then at the command of all who choose to avail themselves of the privileges of the occasion. There is a remarkable uniformity in the fireside customs of this night in all parts of Great Britain. Nuts and apples are everywhere in requisition and are consumed in immense quantities. Indeed, the name Nutcrack night, by which Halloween is known in the north of England, indicates the predominance of nuts in the entertainments of the evening. They are not only cracked and eaten, but are made the means of divining and prophesying in love affairs. Apples are also used in many of the evening games for the same purpose.

Peru's Railway Wonder A remarkable railway, one wonders of Peru, is that whale from Callao to the gold fields de Paeco. Beginning in Oceans ascends the narrow valley of mao, rising nearly 5,000 feet in forty-six miles. Thence it goes the intricate gorges of the Sierra tunnels the Andes at an altitude 15,645 feet, the highest point world where a piston rod is no steam. This astonishing elevation reached in seventy-eight miles. To Treat a Sprain.

The Trick the Belgians Played on Sir Morell Mackenzie. The Belgians once succeeded in getting cut rates on an operation from Sir Morell Mackenzie. He engaged to attend a case at Antwerp. When he landed he was met by three men in mourning, who informed him, according to the Reader Magazine, that the patient had died, but that they would pay his full fee. "And now," said the man, "since you are here, what do you say to visiting the city hospital and giving a clinic for the benefit of our local surgeons? It is not often they have an opportunity of benefiting by such science as yours." Sir Morell said he would gladly comply. He went to the hospital and performed many operations, among which were two of a similar nature to that for which he had been called over. When he finished, all thanked him profusely. On the steamer going home he met a friend who had a business house in Antwerp. "Pretty scurvy trick they played on Every Two Minutes Physicians tell us that all the blood in a healthy human body passes through the heart once in every two minutes.

If this action becomes irregular the whole body suffers. Poor health follows poor blood; Scott’s Emulsion makes the blood pure. One reason why SCOTT'S EMULSION is such a great aid is because it passes so quickly into the blood. It is partly digested before it enters the stomach; a double advantage in this. Less work for the stomach; quicker and more direct benefits. To get the greatest amount of good with the least possible effort is the desire of everyone in poor health. Scott’s Emulsion does just that. A change for the better takes place even before you expect it. We will send you a sample free.

Folwith massage for fifteen when apply snugly a rubber from toes up to as high as points, which were set in a piece of wood. The imitations of later date than the real have been burnished in a similar manner, but with an agate. It required considerably more force to obtain a bright surface by the ancient method than by the use of the agate point; hence the burnished lines in the genuine ware are perceptibly sunken, while in the counterfeit ware they are flush with the general surface of the gilding. There are other means of "spotting" the imitations, such as the inexact copying of the marks which have served since 1753 to denote the date of fabrication, and the use of chrome green, which was not discovered until 1802, but the test of the burnished parts of the gilding is the easiest for the ordinary buyer.—New York Herald. Earrings. Girls who are fond of earrings may perhaps be interested in hearing a few facts about them. Sad it is for the emancipated woman of the present day to learn that these fashionable ornaments were originally a mark of slavery. In bygone days the slave always wore his master's earrings. In the east they were a sign of caste and were buried with the dead. Some ancient earrings were very elaborate, and many statues had their ears bored in readiness for votive offerings of earrings. In England the earliest earrings were very cumbrous and made of stone or wood. The eighteenth century saw the glorification of the earring, fashionable beauties outvying each other with the rarest and most beautiful jewels.—London Graphic. A New Application of Scripture. There was rejoicing in the village at the killing of a pig. Being dead, it was cut up. A neighbor's cat stole secretly into the larder and annexed a piece of pork, which she brought in triumph to her mistress. Next day the clergyman of the parish visited the old To Treat a Sprain.

A New Application of Scripture. There was rejoicing in the village at the killing of a pig. Being dead, it was cut up. A neighbor's cat stole secretly into the larder and annexed a piece of pork, which she brought in triumph to her mistress. Next day the clergyman of the parish visited the old woman, who recounted to him the remarkable sagacity of the beast. "It was quite beautiful, sir," she said pliously, "to see the way the sweet creature brought me the piece of pork. It brought to my mind what we read in the Bible about Elijah and the ravens." Not Seeing, Not Believing. There was a man in Nottinghamshire who discontinued the donation he had regularly made for a time to a missionary society. When asked as to his reasons he replied: "Well, I've traveled a bit in my time. I've been as far as Sleaford, in Lincolnshire, and I never saw a black man, and I don't believe there are any."—London Standard. The Physical. The morality of clean blood ought to be one of the first lessons taught us by our pastors and teachers. The physical is the substratum of the spiritual, and this fact ought to give to the food we eat and the air we breathe a transcendent significance.—Tyndale. A Story of Voltaire. One day when D'Alembert and Condorcet were dining with Voltaire they proposed to converse on atheism, but Voltaire stopped them at once. "Wait," said he, "till my servants have withdrawn. I do not wish to have my throat cut tonight." Short of Cash. Uncle George—Harry, I suppose you keep a cash account. Harry—No, Uncle George; I haven't got so far as that, but I keep an expense account. Temperature of the Human Body. It is remarkable what slight variation there is in the temperature of the healthy human body. The normal temperature is 96.6, and it is a fraction less than this one or two hours after midnight, while the maximum tempera- ture occurs from one to two hours. Temperature of the Human Body. It is remarkable what slight variation there is in the temperature of the healthy human body. The normal temperature is 96.6, and it is a fraction less than this one or two hours after midnight, while the maximum temperature occurs from one to two hours after the noon hour. The ingestion of food, fasting, exercise, all are factors in slightly varying the temperature. The great peculiarity about the temperature of man is its evenness under all conditions. Heat or cold causes but slight variation, and in man less than in any other animal. In extremes that would be fatal to many animals man can endure and enjoy good health under those circumstances. We read of arctic voyagers enduring a temperature ranging from 80 degrees to 90 degrees and even 102 degrees below zero, while, on the other hand, in the tropics, during the greater part of the year, the temperature ranges from 106 degrees to 110 degrees above, and yet men enjoy health in such varying temperatures.
