Ristort’s Too Grateful Soldier. | During Ristori’s first engagement at Madrid ap elderly woman one night gained access to her dressing room and tearfully begged her intervention on behalf of her son, a young soldler con- demned to death for a serious breach of discipline. At the close of the per formance Ristorl was presented to Queen Isabella, made the required “l?' peal and obtained the young man’s Jfree pardon, perhaps because it gave to 'the queen the opportunity of a mot— that she was certain the actress had 'never before played in a tragedy with such a happy ending. Some years later Ristor! again visited Madrld. During the first performance a soldier among the audience made a disturbance, was ejected only after severely damaging a number of policemen and was sub- sequently sentenced to a long term of imprisonment. He proved to be Ris- tori’s former protege, who, hearing of her return, had come to the theater in order to renew his expression of grati- tude. Unfortunately he had drunk her health too enthuslastically beforehand, with the result that he finally owed her not ouly his life, but free board and lodging for several years into the bargain.—London Truth. New and 01d Bank Bills. | According to the Washington Post, quoting a cashler, bank officlals do uot prefer fresh new bills to old ones. “Everybody doesn't care for new greenbacks,” said a cashier. “It is a common idea that bank tellers do not care to give up crisp paper money. As a matter of fact, nine cashiers out of every ten try to get rid of new money as quickly as possible after receiving it. There iIs grave danger to the aver- age paying teller in handling unused money. New bank notes stick togeth- er. Frequently the ink is not thor- oughly dry. During our rush period we handle a great deal of money. It is the easlest thing In the world to make mistakes with new bills when in a hurry to relleve a long line of waiting patrons. When possible we give out the new bills during hours when there 1s no rush. I'd rather pay out a mil- lion old bills than a hundred new ones.” Running For Exercise. A professional runner gives the fol- lowing suggestions for exercise: Rise at 6:30 a. m. Put on old clothing, easy shoes and a sweater. Time for dress- ing, five minutes. Walk one-fourth of a mile; time, five minutes. Then run a mile at a dog trot in eight minutes, arranging your circuit of a mile and a quarter so that you will finish at your door thirteen minutes after start- Ing. That exercise will expand your lungs and stimulate your heart action and land you at your doorstep at 6:43 a. m. panting for breath, thoroughly exhausted and perspiring at every pore. You are then ready for your bath and shave and breakfast and for the nat- ural routine of the day. The man of sedentary habits who patiently pur- sues this exercise may kiss all drugs goodby. A Mistake. The chairman told me at the meeting that I was out of order.” “Well, wasn’t he right?” “No. I saw a doctor on the way home, and he told me that I was never In better shape in my Lte.” MICHESTER'S ENGLI, ENNYROYAL BiLLs THE DIAMOND BRAND, Ladies!

A peculiar light giving animal found In southern Californian waters is the heteropod. The heteropods, dazzling be seen floating on the cl Thelr bodles are almost transparent, and they have In uddi to a long tail a powerful sucker, by which tiey cling to seaweed. When these crea- tures are irritated they seem to emit a light from all over the body, thoug' one writer ds ibes one In whith the light—red In thi —scemed t radi ate from the center of the animal. Of all the light giving animals the sal is sald to be the t wonderful. the heteropad, this animal is provided with claspers that enable It to fasten to seaweed and rocks. So plentiful are they In Californian waters that the Sauta Catalina nel, which is from elghteen to twenty miles wide and about forty-five miles long, 's at times literally - coverad with them as far as the eye can reach. Covering the entire surface and gleaming like gems In the sunlight, they present a beautiful ple- ture. These animals constitute a del- fecacy much sought for by whales. Some of them shed a silvery light, while others yleld blue and others red light. Rivers That Flow Backward. Near Argostoll, a town on one of the Greek Islands, four little torrents of gea water, rolling on an average fifty- five gallons a socond, penetrate Into the fissures of the cliffs, flow rapidly Inland and finally gradually disappear Into the crevices of the soll. Two of these water courses are sufficiently powerful to turn all the year round the wheels of two mills constructed by an enterprising Englishman, This Beems at first sight absurd on the face of It, but it is quite easlly explained. The hills of the Island are of soft, cal- careous rock, full of fissures, and suck up water like lmmanse sponges. In consequence the pools In their subter- ranean caverns are always lower than the surrounding sea, so to restore the dalance these little brooks, fed by the waves, are always descending Inland. The curious yet natural result of the constant evaporation of the sea water is that gigantic masses of salt crystals are constantly forming In the caves.— Strand Magazine. Sivaw Rope Swings. Korea is perhaps the oldest country In the world, and the customs and ac- tlons that go to make up the dalily life of the people are not at all governed by the logic - ‘which moves us on our ey r.

A. . and P. M, Here is an excellent catch: Ingenu. ously ask any friend or acquaintance the meaning of a. m. and p. m. You will receive some such answer as, "Why, morning and afternoon,” or “Be- fore dinner and after dinner,” or “Up to 12 o'clock high noon and after 12 high nocg,” or “From midnight to noon and from noon to midnight,” or “Avte meridian and post meridian; before aud after noon.” Itis a conservative wager that every one to whom the question Is put will stake his happiness on the ‘word meridian, while the correct word is meridiem. Ante meridiem and post meridiem are abbreviated to a. m. and p. m. Paying Him Back. “Will you please pull the bell?” said an elderly woman in a car to a young. college looking fellow hanging to a strap in front of her. “No, madam, but I shall be glad to pull the cord which rings the bell,” he answered. “Oh, mnever mind,” she said. “The cord is connected with two bells—front and back—and you might stop the wrong end of the car.” Her Valuable Tip. ‘“Here’s a letter from a woman,” said the answers to correspondents editor, “who wants to know how to make a lemon tart.” s “That’s just like a woman,” rejoined the snake editor. “Tell her if the lemon Isn't tart to begin with she’d better con- slgn it to the dump and let it go at that.”--Chicago News.

The)ants which are freally protective tu plants are not those which obtain ¢helr food, indirectly;forithe most part through the aphides, from the vegeta- ble kingdom, but those which are real- ly carnivorous. These are numerous in temperate climates,, and} their useful ness to agriculture,and sylviculture is incontestable. Thus theyfleld ant is a Yreat Insect destroyer. [A mnest of this specles Is capable of/ destroying as many as twenty-elghticaterpiliars and grasshoppers a ‘minute, or 1,600 an hour, and suchfa colony is at work day and night during the pleasant season. In the arid plains of Amerlea the beneficent; work 'of ants is revealed In the Isles of verdure around their bills. There are plants hospitable to ents, which furnish them shelter and often food, within the cavities of which the Instincts of the ants prompt them to take their abode. This is the case with several ferns, among them the Polypodium nectariferum, the sterile fronds of which bear nectarles on their lower face and are, moreover, of a shape favorable to sheltering the in- sect. Sign of a Trained Nurse. “I used to wonder why it was that I noticed so many young women lugging suit cases all aver town,” sald the man on the street corner. “At first I thought perhaps they were independent young persons who were on their way to the Grand Central station or to the ferry- boats to take trains, but then I no- Hced them in parts of the town where they couldn’t possibly be making for a rallroad station, since they were go- Ing in the wrong directions. Now I have learned who these women are. Most of them are trained nurses. When they leave the hospitals or their homes to attend a case they pack their uni- forms and other necessaries in these suit cases, which they carry with them. So when you see a young wom- an carrying a snit case and bound in a direction away from a boat or railroad station it's very likely she’s a trained nurse and is either starting out to at- tend a case or is returning from one.” ~New York Press. Colors of the Bluebird. Of the male bluebird Thoreau said, "He carries the sky on his back.” To this John Burroughs added, “and the earth on his breast.” The bird’s back, wings and tail, chin and throat are a vivid blue, while his breast and flanks are a chestnut brown and his abdomen a dirty white. The female is very much duller in coloring, often having a red dish tone that extends from the middie of the back over the shoulder. The Seminole Indians say that the male bluebird once flew so high that his back rubbed against the sky, which imparted to him its own azure tint. Returning to earth, his wife so admired fis new coat that she determined to have a like one for herself and the next morning flew away to get it, but the day proving somewhat cloudy the col- or given to her dress was not so bril Mant as was that recetved by her mate. The Public In Speculation. The public as a body never buys any- thing when it is cheap. There are nu- merous reasons for this. To begin with, the point of view of the success- ful speculator and that of the public trader are entirely different. The first named operates on deductions, on care- fully erected theories of what condi- tlons will be a year—two years—hence. The unsophisticated trader acts upon whatever of the future Is already ap- parent. It Is again a platitude to say that Wall street discounts everything, good or bad, but how many people who mouth this axiom extract its full meaning? They do not realize that this discounting means, not the gauging of the known, but of the wholly unknown. 'The man who acts today on the proba- ble conditions of the long, unseen fu- ture is the man who makes money, In ‘Wall street or in any other enterprises for that matter, and the man whose mind goes farthest ahead makes the most money. “If I could only see the tape a month ahead!” cries the tyro. There are many men who see it a year ahead, not In its flurries and fractions, but in its great and important entirety. —Thomas Gibson in Moody’s Maga- zine. Furs Not Always What They Seem. Does the average fur buyer know that the far eastern mink is simply a dyed marmot with the black stripes painted in with a toothbrush? Does the buyer know that the low priced black lynx sets are nothing but com- mon wildcats or Roumanian cats or in some cases soft Chinese wolf skin? Does he know that the white ermine plllow muffs selling for a song are really weasels, and yellow weasels at that, since a white weasel commands almost as high a price as its dear rela- tive, the ermine? Then the sable lynx scarfs and muffs that sell for a few dollars are of course nothing but coney or hare, while the cheaper caracal sets are simply kid astrakhan, which Is something entirely different from cara- cal—as different indeed as ordinary Persian s from broadtail. The beau- titul imitation white fox sets that ap- pear also are generally mouflon, or in some cases combed white tibet.—Nu- gent’s Bulletin. The City of Great Britainm. Unless we command the sea we can. not keep open the roads by which our people are fed. Britain has In effect ceased to be a country. She Is now, considered from the political and mili- tary polnt of view, a city, though a clty with very large parks and pleas- aunces and kitchen gardens in which to grow her flowers, fruits and vege tables. A clty, from the point of view of war, may be described as a place which If besleged long enough must fall, since supplies once consumed can- not be replenished. Britain answers to this description. The moment the sea roads to her are closed by an enemy she Is, Ipso facto, In a state of slege. Face to face with a need so imminent, it would be madness for us to give any consideration to what we hope or belleve are the Intentions of this or that foreign power. All that we can rightly do In considering how to secure our natlonal safety and independenco 18 to count ships and guns and to com- pute the units of naval efficlency.— London Spectator.

Beasemer Steell The so called bessemer process of making steel by injecting air blasts Into molten iron was discovered first by an American named Kelly and known as his alr boiling process. After the ironworkers had seen it done they still would not believe it. “Some erank Wwill be burning ice next thing,” they sald. Some of his customers when they heard about it wrote Kelly that they wanted their iron made either in the regular way, and not by any new- fangled method, or not at all. When the first blast wzs so strong that it melted the iron the spectators roared with laughter at what they called “Kelly's fireworks” and laughed for ten years at his “folly.” When Besse ‘mer Introduced his process to the Brit- ish ironmakers they, too, roared with laughter at the ‘“crazy Frenchman” and would not allow the “silly idea” to be mentioned In their records. The steel rail proposition excited only de- rision. “Bosh! Stuff! Humbug! Non- sense!” said the railroad directors when It was proposed to them. But after one road had trled it the steel mills could not keep up with the or- ders sent in. Hard on a Drowning Man. Vieuxtemps, the famous violinist, used to tell the following story: When crossing London bridge one day he was suddenly brushed aslde by a ‘wretched tatterdemalion, who climbed the parapet and plunged out Into the river. The foot passengers crowded around Immedlately to watch the un- fortunate man as he rose to the sur- face, and In a trice some one shouted, “U'll bet he drowns!” “Two to one he’ll swim ashore!” was the answer. The rest of the pedestri- ans joined in the betting. Meantime Vieuxtemps rushed down to the river bank, secured a waterman and rowed out to the rescue. Just as the boatman was about to reach forth to grasp the poor fellow, who by this tlme was floundering about In the wa- ter, having lost his desire for death, the spectators above cried out: “Leave him alone! There’s a bet on 1t!” The oarsman drew back Into the boat, and the unfortunate wretch sank before their eyes. The Endless Procession. A myriad of men are born. They la- bor and sweat and struggle for bread; they squabble and scold and fight; they scramble for little mean advantages over each other; age creeps upon them; Infirmities follow; shames and humilia- tlons bring down their prides and their vanitles; those they love are taken from them, and the joy of life is turn- ed to aching grief. The burden of pain, care, misery, grows heavier year by year; at length ambition Is dead, pride Is dead; vanity is dead; longing for re- lease Is in thelr place. It comes at last—the only unpoisoned gift earth ever had for them—and they vanish from a world where they were of no ceonsequence; where they achieved noth- Ing; where they were a mistake and a fallure and a foolishness. There they have left no sign that they have ex- Isted—a world which will lament them a day and forget them forever. Then another myriad takes their place, and coples all they did, and goes along the same profitless road, and vanishes as they vanished—to make room for an- other, and another, and a million other myriads, to follow the same arid path through the same desert and accom- plish what the first myriad and all the myriads that came after it accomplished —nothing.—From Mark Twaln’s Auto- blography in North Amerlcan Review, ‘Woman’s Opportunity. Meeting a negro, a certaln southern gentleman asked him how he was get- ting on. The negro assumed a troubled look and replied: “Oh, so far’s physicality goes I'm all right, but I sure do have ma troubles wif ma wife.” “Well, Sam, I'm sorry to hear that. ‘What seems to be the matter?” “She thinks money grows on trees, I reckon. All de time she keeps pester- In’ me for pinch o’ change. If it ain’t a dollah it's half or a quarter she ‘wants.” “What on earth does she do with the money ?” “I dunno. Ain’t nevah give her none yet.”—Philadelphia Ledger. Pliny’s Jewel Storles. Pliny declares that a diamond was 80 hard that if placed on an anvil and struck with a sledge hammer it would glve back a blow of such force as to shiver both anvil and hammer to pleces. Another of his wonderful tales states that “on the shore of the island of Cyprus there was a stone lion hav- ing eyes formed of emeralds, which shone so brightly that all the fishes were ingloriously frightened away. The fishermen accordingly pulled the emer- alds out and put in glass eyes instead, whereupon the wise fishes became bolder and returned to their accustom- ed nets.” ‘Tue Kirst Batning Machine, There does not seem to be much doubt that the first bathing machine was seen at Margate and that it was the Inventlon of a worthy Quaker named Beale, who placed his hopeful invention on the Margate beach In 1750. “The public are obliged to Ben- Jamin Beale, one of the people called Quakers, for the invention,” writes the author of “A Short Description of the Isle of Thanet,” published in 1796. But it was the old story, the public be- came grateful after the Inventor had been ruined by his enterprise. His successors had reaped the harvest, 01d Benjamin Beale’s widow could re- member in her last days the first fam- lly that ever resorted to Margate for the purpose of bathing being carried into the sea in a covered cart. In 1803 Beale’s machines were one of the in- stitutions of Margate. It was alarm- ingly clalmed for them that “they may be driven to any depth into the sea by careful guides.”—T. P.’s London Week- At Which Aget An amuring discussion recently took place between an artist and an author as to which period of her life a woman was the most fascinating. Aec- cording to the artist a woman should not be painted between the ages of twenty-five and forty, as she was In the greatest transition period of her life. The author, on the other hand, declares that she is at the helight of her fascination and beauty between the ages of thirty and forty. THe ques: tion {8 still unsettied.—Bremen Zeitung Origlunl of “Uncle Toby.” Captain Roger Sterne, the father of the author of “Tristram Shandy,” was the original of Unele Toby, As captaln of Chudleigh’s regiment of foot, a marching regiment ever on the move, Roger Sterne and his family tasted the most varled military and domestlc ex- periences In Flanders, at Gibraltar and finally at Jamaica, where the old cam- paigner died of “country fover.” A simple minded, good natured, but shift- less and rather peppery Irishman, Rog- er bore his disappointment bravely and carried his load of debt with a light heart. “My father,” says Sterne, “was of a kindly, sweet disposition, vold of all design and so Innocent in his own Intentions that he suspected no one, so that you might have cheated him ten times a day if nine had not been suffi- clent for your purpose.” Such a char- acter and such a father supplled the germ from which the genius of the son developed his conception of one of the most perfect and delightful portraits in the gallery of English fiction. Sex and Rebirth. The theories concerning the possi- bility of our having previously existed seem to be endless. Of them all I think the one best which suggests that sex is reversed at rebirth and that when we turn up eons after we previously ex- isted we do 8o either as men or women according to whether we were women or men aforetime. This largely ac- counts for the suffragette and for the long haired, thin volced creatures who potter around boudoirs, play the piano like “sweetly pretty” things and ‘call themselves men. Presumably the best material of which we were fashioned then is now used In our composition, for the most manly women and effemi- nate men generally have some good points about them. But if one is to keep on performing these Protean feats through all ages it hardly ssems worth while worrying over sex problems. It seems to me, in the long run, that we shall each get about equal, according to this arrangement.—London World. The Remarkable Rhea. “The rhea of South America is a re- markable bird,” said an ornithologist. The male rhea hatches out the eggs. He and not the female is the setter. He sets always In a quiet and desolate place, where there is no food, nothing to attract enemies, and as soon as the young are born the question is how to feed them. The rhea answers that question in advance. Three or four days before the eggs are to open he shoves a couple of them out of the nest with his bill and lays them In the sun. ‘What Is the result? The result is that the hot South African sun decomposes the eggs, and the father breaks them as the young birds begin to appear in the nest, and the flies settle on them and in twenty-four hours they are alive with worms—tender, juicy, delicious worms, the best food in the world for the nest of new born birdlings.” Garrick as Author. Writing of Garrick’s literary efforts, 1 suppose not every one knows that he was . the author of such well known lines as: Their cause I plead, plead it in heart and mind; A fellow feeling makes one wondrous kind. Or this again: Let others hail the rising sun; 1 bow to that whose course has run. Or again: Hearts of oak are our ships, Hearts of oak are our men. But I suppose every one knows his epigram on Goldsmith, “who wrote like an angel and talk'd like poor Poll,” aun epigram that conveyed only half the truth, as Garrick would have been one of the first to admit.—London Sphere. Habit. Habit Is one of the world’s control- ling influences. More men are swayed by force of habit, unconsciously per- haps, than any other motive. The hab- it of doing certain things in a certain way. grows from beginnings so small as to be scarcely noticeable until it forms a chain that can scarcely be broken. The habit of right or wrong doing becomes a master, and a more exacting master could not be found.— Brockton Times. Luminous Paint as Night Lightx. The connectfon between earthquakes and luminous paint would hardly be apparent to any one without explana- tlon. It nevertheless exists, and the use to which it is put invests it with the utmost importance just for the few critical moments of the shock. In the Philippine Islands, where earthquakes are not uncommon, small metallic plates coated with luminous paint are 80 placed about the premises that at the fivst warning the Inmates are quickly gulded to the door and thus to the street. In Manila it is laid on In patches about the bedrooms and stair- cases, serving as guides for the door handles and the stairs, night lights be- Ing considered especlally dangerous, as likely to set fire to the falling houses and thus to roast the Inmates in, their own homes. Caged Until Married. On a certain Island In the Pacific it Is stated that the natives are still in the habit of confining their girl chil- dren In cages until they are of an age to marry. These cages are constructed of palm branches, and the girls are Imprisoned in them when they are two or three years old. They are not al- lowed to leave their cage under any pretext whatever, and they are only taken out once a day to be washed. The children are sald to grow ‘up strong and healthy In spite of their Incarceration. o Enumerated. A schoolteacher says this sweeping answer was made by a pupil in a his- tory lesson: ~- “How muny wars,” she asked this puptl, “did England fight with Spain?" “8ix,” the pupil answered. “Bix?” said the teacher. “Enumerate them, please.” 5 “One, two, three, four, five, six,” sald the little girl.
