We. want to feel that those upon whom we lavish thought are not unmindful of our welfare. Genius hasn't time for such ccmmonplaces. It is too engrossed in the evolution of a. sublime idea. to dwell upon the individual head or heart ache. I’m p-r- suaded that this is the reason why very clever men and women marry those who are considered their inferiors. They know by introspection the egotism of brains, and seek an unselfishness which will minister to their comfort. Intellectual companionship may be found in books or society, but that thoughtfulness and care upon which the hap- piness of daily life depends, can only pro- ceed from human beings possessed of hearts. As there are exceptions to all rules, so are there great hearts allied to great heads. Such creations are the glory of the universe, and to be honored without stint. The Selflslmess of Genius. “I sEould say,” {abut}? 'the husband “that the brigands were new at the busi neas." A married couple were out promenading in the suburbs of Austin one day. Presently the wife said: “Think, Albert, if the bri- ganda should come now and take me from you_!" ' “Impossible, my dear.” ‘ “But, suppose they did come and carry me‘ewa'y w‘hpt wou_1d yot} aqy I” It was just a. young couple who were mov- ing. They had been boarding with mother \but were going to housekeeping for them: ‘ selves new. In front of the house stood a great load of furniture red and blue and other bright colors. It: consisted of a baby’s rocking chair with the rockers off, in baby’s crib and a. pemmhulator, one small high chair and one large high chair, one hobby horse, one express wagon with the forward whm ls gone, one doll’s buggy. There might have been a. cooking stove and a. dining-table there, but if so, it was last to sight to memory dear under the more numerous belongings of the baby housekeep- ers. And when the young father and mother came out they had the little emi- grants with them and all the indescribable dolls. humming-tops and other paraphernalia that there wasn’t room for on the load. Two happy babies going to housekeeping with their child-parents ! And it's love, love that makes the world go round. In a paper read before the Bufiilo Natural- ists' Field Club it is stated that Like Erie and the Niagara River furnish thirty-seven marketable varieties of fish. But their numbers are becoming rapidly reduced in those waters, owing in great measure to so many fish being taken when they are so full of re. Some fish spawn late in the fell; the eastern salmon, salmon-trout, Whitefish, brook-trout and lake-herring belong to this class. but the majority spawn in A il. MayL or early J uner Black bass ch00 * a‘place for‘their spawnbeds whore the Water; is. shallow and the bottom‘ is a. sandy“~graiel.~" They leave their winter quarters in deep ‘ water a. month or six weeks previous to spawning. The eggs hatch in Irom one to two weeks, according to the temperature. Bws are very prolific, yielding fully one- fourth their weight of spawn. The bass and the maskslonge are therecognizad game- fish of the lakes. Whitefish do not take the bait reodily,but are caught in gill nets, and can be taken in great numbers just; at the time they are ready to spawn. The'y aver age three and a. half pounds in weight, though some are taken Weighing tan to eight- een bounds Sturgeon average fifty pounds. but occasionally one is caught that weighs a ‘ hundred pounds or over. Fish dlfier greatly in rapidity of growth. Some grow in one, two or three years to a definite size. and then growth seam to be arrested. Such fish are short-lived. Other k uds, which slowly and steadily increase in size, attain a great age. Pike have hem known to be over a hundred years old. “Spasms or fits,” continued the Mongolia disciple of [Eacnlapinm " come frrm the ‘earth devil,’ a creature that lives nude r the ground and sends a shock into the victim through his feet. You. will find that nearly all poisons when first taken with fits fall while walking but after awhile, when the devil gets the victim weakened, the shock can be communicated from the earth, through the‘honse and into the bed It is very hard to cured them I cured a man in : Canton who had been subject to fits for . fifteen years by rubbing the soles of his feet with fat stewed out of a frog's heart. Opium is a very valuable help in such cases when taken internally, because it makes the patient’s feet itch and prevents the déVIls from gaining an entrance. A very smlll proportion Chinamen die of consumption, because three hundred years ago it was dis- covered by T'sang Loo, a learned doctor, that peo le became afij cted with the disease by hreat ing through the mouth instead of the nose. There are millions and millions of imps flying in the air all the timeâ€"more in cold Weather than in warmâ€"4nd to your eyes they appear lik) specks of dust, They cannot get throngh the nose because the hairs catch them and they die. but they go into the mouth where there are no hairs, and find a resting place in the lungs. In a short time the lungs are dug out and coughed up. The only cure is to lay the patient on his back and beat him on the chest with a switch until the imp: are frightened and fly out into the air again. Then the patient is starved for thirty-six hours and has his mouth sealed up. Very often he dies, but that’is because all the imps were not driven out. ' The doctor exhibited some of the powdar which proved to be either quinine or cin chonid as I “Every sickness,” he said, “is caused by a ‘ Nong T'saoâ€"s ‘ disease devil'â€"â€"and it is tie work of the doctor to find out Where the devil is and drive him out. What you call iever~hot skin, dry lips, high pulseâ€"is the work of a. little-imp with eight mouths, each month having a hot, scorching breath. The imo gets into the patient‘s stomach by flying down his throat and is usually in the air on a damp day like this. The little davil is as large as a grain of sand, but when he gets in-to the hum m body he grows to be about as large as a bean. He blows his hot breath man every vein of the victim and causes him grezt distress and thirst by drinking All the ivvahr in his stomach. The way to cur: the pitient is to poison the im with a. pawdrr scraped from the inside 0 a tree which grows in the Province of Foo Chow.” Wong Choo Fan is rather a. diminutive specimen of the Mongolian race. being but five feet in height and rather delicately pro- portioned.
