When thè constitution had been rati fied by- the requisite number of-states the Contineutal congress by resolution of Sept. 13, 1788,- set the first Wednes day of the following March.(March A, 1780) as the “ time for commëiîclng pro ceedings” under the new form'of gov ernment. Owing to delays of various- kinds, such as difficulties of travel, etc., mem bers. of the first congress were very slow to assemble in New York, and a quorum of both houses*-wasJ,not .ob tained until April 6. The counting of the electoral vote, the notification of Washington and his7 journey from’ Mount Vernon to New York took until ' April 23, and his'inauguratlon was set for April 30.

He, was extraordi- narily thin, with a stiff carriage. He had a long, bony face, blotched with red and scanty hair of a dirty yellow 'color. 0 His hollow eyes, gleamed un der thick, reddish; eyebrows, but were furtive and,. restless, never looking straight at any one save by stealth. “That is a bad man,” declared Na poleon when he had seen him. “ His eye as he' 'examined' me was like -a hyena’s'caught in a trap.” T He really resembled this horrid, sly animal, in its - walk as well as in hair and eyes.

One common idea which has found its way into scopes of books of udven ture is, that the lion and tiger take ad vantage of the ¡Insistent call of thirst, to get a supper-^that is to say. they go 'down ’to the* water pool, the- only one for miles around,^ take a good .drink themselves and^then* lie\ in* wait for some gazelle or. giraffe or ibex coming there* fôr n Uke purpose in order to spring upon the poor, creature while in the act of drinking land make'a meal of i t ' - , . .. „Yet ¡thisJs a llb.eIqus estlniat.e_of wi|d beast character.

The puffer fish affoca a novel exam ple of the way nature sometimes works to protect her creatures. The many different species inhabit ¿11 tropical and other warm seas and certain large riv ers. Few. of .them' reach a length of more than two feet.\\ The peculiar characteristic common to ail ¡of them is their ability to inflate themselves with air or water until they .become almost spherical In shape. The air or water/that: fills the abdomen or the esophageal sac _Is retained by a “valve fifth s throat- and 'can be dis charged almost instantly. A féw good sized soup were placed in one of the exhibition tanks of the New York Zoological society with a dozen puffers about two iuches long., The hungry s.cup at once attacked the' puff- “ers, but in an instant- every puffer'in flated itself so completely with water -that-it became-almost-globnlar. All the \scup could'do was to k'no'ck them about dike toy balloons, too big-to be swal lowed, too smooth to afford any hold to the\ jaws. ■ Puffers, that become -frightened .-.hear the ¡surface of the sea and'ana inflated -with’air sometimes'drift ashore, where' ; they roll along the sands until they die and are’ dried by the sun nnd^wind. j-ThV- Japanese make lanterns' of“ £heir \dried Inflated bodies, for the stretched skin is as transparent as oiled paper.—. Youth’s Companion. iLocating Icebergs. 1 The captgin of an ocean steamer in most' cases' finds out when his vessel is approaching an iceberg from the men down in the engine room. That sounds queer, but it is a fact never theless. It appears that when a steamship enters water ‘ considerably colder than that through which it has been going, its propeller runs faster Sucb water usually surrounds the vici nage.'of Icebergs for many miles. When the propeller’s action therefore is accelerated without the steam pow er being increased word is passed up to the ^officer on the bridge that ice bergs may-be‘expected, and a close, lookout for them is established. There are natural reasons for the propeller 'acting in. this way, and sea captains will assert the same'thing. - Don’t Kaap^FisiV Àliva Aftar You Gat, Th‘«m.,Out of the Y/atar. - Probably! join e-tenths; of ' the\ ..flsher- ~m*en?;Iiereftbouts^makë~thë\'mistake'of trying to keei^their fish all v e n ter they^ \are caùgïïtoh the.theory thntriiie flesh will taste- better- after rthey-get-'home and prepare them for the pan7for cdok- j ing..

Idleness Is Often the Cause of Human Diaeaee and Decay. y “'/Work Is not the curse nor the afflic tion that some people think it is. When .taken in proper doses it is the best of medicines. It is now being prescribed for mahy'fqrms of Invalidism, such as heart disea£«g7;Bright!s--disease, nerv- ousuesB and particularly for Insanity. The lack of work Is often the cause of many chronic maladies, and It Is a wise physician who can determine when one needs work instead of rest and in prescribing the remedy produce no ufipleasant situations. . About the most unhealthful person, .as well as the most unhappy and_use: less, is the person with nothing to do. Work is a dispeller of. fears. ?It Is the exercise that is as essential to the body and mind as are food and air.' It is only when work is carried to excess that it becomes injurious, as in the case wlthi food, rest and all good things. The Ideal of a healthy, happy life Is ho longer a world where work Is not necessary and life is one grand sweet songJof idleness! Life Is activity; in the broad sense It is work—work that produces and entails sacrifice. It is not less work-that we need, but work In the right proportions and under the right conditions. * Such work is health —North Carolina Health Bulletin.
