A certain Chinese taotal (magistrate, having told his men to have two ingots of gold sent to his treasury for pur- chase, the shopmen brought them in and in answer to the query of the tao- tai told Lim that the price was so much In taels, but added, “This is the or- dinary price, but for your honor e will knock off one-half of the price.” Then the taotal said to his underlings: “Seeing.that they are to sell to me at only oue-half price, just give them back one ingot of gold and put the other In my treasury, and thus their account is settled. Goodby.” So the underlings of the yamen did so, but still the shopmen hung around wait- Ing. The taotai asked them why they were waiting, when their account had been already settled, Said the shop- men, “When did your honor pay your humble servants?’ Then the magis- trate answered with a very fierce air: “Tajo nu ts-al” (Impertinent slaves), “did you not say that these two gold Ingots were half price to me? Then did T not give you back one ingot and keep the other and thus settle your ac- count without the least injustice ac- cording to your own proposition? So be off with you or my lictors will give you a taste of the scourge.”—Harper's Weekly.- A Singular Calculation. It would require, according to the calculations of a scientist, the power of a 10,000 horsepower engine about 70,000,000,000 years to lift the earth a foot in height, and to do this work, allowing thirteen pounds of water per horsepower per hour, would require some 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 gallons of water, or more than would be dis- charged at the mouth of the Mississip- pi in 6,000 years. This would be enough, the writer estimates, to cover the entire surface of the earth to a depth ‘of not less than 300 feet, to convert which into steam, using good boilers,- would require some 4,000,000,- 000,000,000 tons of coal. If the latter quantity of the mineral was loaded on cars of twenty tons each it would de- mand 200,000,000,000,000 such cars. If the latter were thirty feet long and all coupled together in one train it would reach around the earth 45,000, 000 times and, if running twenty-five miles per hour, would consume 25,000, 000 years in running the length of it- self. So much for figures. “Crocodile Tears.” The phrase “crocodile tears” owes its origin to the imagination of some of the old travelers, who invented the fable that the crocodile weeps over its prey. One of the earliest English globe trotters to mention this fiction was Sir John Mandeville, who in his “Travels” (1499), speaking of “ZBthiop,” “Ynde” and an “Yle clept Silla,” says: “That Lond is full of Serpents and of Cokadrilles. These Cokadrilles ben a manner of Long Serpente, zalowe and rayed aboven, and had four Feete and schorte Thyes and grete Nayles as Clees or Talonns, and there ben sume that had five Fadme in length and sume of six and a halfendal. And in the nyght thet dwellen in the Water and on the Day won upon the Lond.

The commercial traveler flicked the dust off his boots, straightened his tie and entered the emporium of Mr. Brown, the village grocer. He was new to the district, otherwise he would not have made the error which we now atvulge. Behind the counter was a young gentleman - of fourteen, with bulging eyes and a high collar. To him the traveler addressed himself. “My boy,” he said, in?" “I'm Mr. Brown,” the boy replied. “But possibly you want to see old Mr. Brown, my father. I'll get him.” And as the boy went in search of his prematurely aged parent it dawned upon the traveler that this is indeed an age of young men.—London An- swers. Ideals. He kissed her hand.
