VIOUS KINDS OF DAYS. to Have No Real Meaning out Defining Adjective. kinds of day are recognized, has been said that the word has no real meaning without an ve defining what kind of a day ant. There is a civil day, the iomical day, the apparent solar he mean solar day, and the sid- day. The civil day begins at tie zht preceding mean noon, and <s of twenty-four hours counted twelve o'clock; the astronomical _ins twelve hours after the civil * at the mean noan of the cor- fy g civil day.

May Sometimes Be Infected Before They are Laid. “Bggs may be poisonous even before they are laid,” is the cheerful state- ment made by Prof. Metchnikoff of the Pasteur institute, in the witness box. The whites may contain disease-breed- ing microbes. These, when heated, survive in a vegetative state up to 60 degrees centigrade or 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Consequently a raw or even partly cooked egg, however ‘resh, may always be poisonous, owing to the poisonous presence of iively bacilli in the white and contain- ed therein from the very beginning. The professor’s evidence, writes the Paris correspondent of the London Telegraph, was given in a case be- fore the first chamber, in which a pastry cook is being sued by twenty- five persons who had been made very {ll by eating some of his cream tarts, and by the heirs of a twenty-sixth who died of it. Official experts, sup- ported by M. Metchnikoff, stated at the first hearings of the case that it is utterly impossible ever to make sure that whipped cream containing white of an egg unboiled shall be innocuous, however fresh the egg, for the above reasons. FIRST TO ROLLER SKATE. Belgian Inventor Credited with Inven- tion of Pastime. Roller skating is older than most folk imagine. Joseph Merlin, a Bel- gian born in 1735, a clever, inventive fellow, came to London in 1760 and exhibited his novelties at a museum in Spring Gardens, and afterward in Prince’s street, Hanover square. Hav- ing made a pair of skates to run on wheels, he appeared with them at a masked ball given by Mrs. Cornelys in Carlisle House, Soho. He was duly invited to display his skill. Having put on the skates he took a violin and began whirling about to his own mu- sic. One thing he had not studied, however, and that was how to guide himself and to stop quickly, and the result was that before the perform- ance had lasted any time he dashed into an immense mirror valued at $2,500, smashed his fiddle to bits and seriously injured himself. That ap- pears to have dampened the spirit of inventors, for we hear nothing of other wheel skates for nearly half a century. Strong Men Together. Comrades, pour the ‘wine to-night, For thé parting is with dawn, Oh, the clink of caps together, With the daylight coming on! Greet the morn With a double horn, When strong men drink together! Comrades, gird your swords to-night, For the battle is with dawn. . Oh, the clash of shields together, With the triumph coming on! Greet the foe And lay him low, When strong men fight ‘together. ‘S Comrades, watch the ag to-night, For the sailing is with dawn. Oh, to face the spray together, With the tempest coming on! Greet the Sea With a shout of glee. When strong men roam together. Comrades, give a cheer to-night, For the dying is with dawn. Oh, to meet the stars together, With the silence coming; on! Greet the end As a friend a friend When strong men die together. —Richard Hovey, in ‘‘Comrades.” Warranted a Speedy Cure. Dr. William Osler, in one of his Bal- timore lectures, recited a quaint old cure for the gout—a cure, from a sev- enteenth century medical work, that was designed to show gout’s hopeless- ness. “First pick,” said this odd cure, “a handkerchief from the pocket of a spinster- who never wished to wed; second, wash the handkerchief in an honest miller’s pond; third, dry it on the hedge of a person who never was covetous; fourth, send it to the shop of a physician who never killed a pa- tient; fifth, mark it with a lawyer's ink who never cheated a client; and, sixth, apply it, hot, to the gout-tor- mented part. A speedy cure must fol- low.” Plant Drugs the Tish. A writer in the National Geograph. ical Magazine tell§ of a tree growing in the Maiay archipelago, the Anda- man islands and Ceylon, which pro- duces a fruit used in fishing, with re sults of a remarkable character. The fruit is pounded up into paste and leit in bags over night, after whica it is sunk at low tide in deep holes along the reefs. The fish soon begin to ap- pear at the surface; some of them life- less, others attempting to swim or faintly struggling, with their ventral side uppermost. In this condition, the natives have no difficulty in picking them out of the water with their hands. * Origin cf Birds’ Names. Certain birds get their names from St. Peter. According to a writer: “The petrel (in German ‘Petersvogel,’ Pe- ter’s bird), a bird that skims the waves, is named after the apostle who walked upon the waves of Galilee. But the parrot’s is a less simple case. In Spain and in Portugal, as in France, the word corresponding to ‘parrot’ al- most certainly represents ‘little Peter’ —a familiar name playfully applied because Peter was so common a Chris: tian name. Similarly a house sparrow is nicknamed ‘pierrot’ in France.” The Lover’s Preference. “Your every tooth is a milk-white pearl,” tenderly whispered the lover fond, And softly laughed the win- some girl when the’moonlight caught in her tresses blonde. His lips neared hers, but before they met in a kiss, the rest of the world forgetting, “You like pearls, then?” said the small co- ‘quette. “Not so much,” he repliea, “as\I like the se “38 TRAGEDY OF THE KLONDIKE. Few Minutes’ Exposure to Intense Cold Is Fatal. Klondike river is fed. by numerous soda springs and even the winter’s cold fails to close them entirely. Walking on the edge of the ice near the shore, a miner one day siipped into six inches of water. In a mo ment he was out and hastening to the brush hard by to’light a fire before his feet froze. Rapidly he cut a few fragments of wood with his heavy pocket knife. But the unlighted match dropped from his already chill- ed fingers, for he had rashly removed his mittens in order to use the knite with more freedom. Then he lighted a second and a third, and finally sev- eral at one time, but either his haste or perhaps a sigh of the air caused them to fall to the snow. All this time the frost was seizing his limbs, his body, his heart, his mind. He turned to the fatal mittens, which he never should have taken off, but his already frozen fingers could only lift them from the ice where they had fallen, and after a vain attempt he hurled them from him and_ strove once again.to light a last match. But it was too late. DON’T WAIT TOO LONG. Time to Show Good Will and Sym- pethy Is Right Now. Too many people keep the flowers they have plucked for you until the day of your funeral. Their songs of praise are not heard until your pro- cession is passing their door. The mantle of charity does not become public property until put in use by the preacher who conducts the “last sad rites.” If a man has flowers for me, I want them while I am on earth and can smell their fragrance. They wili do me no good sitting at the head of my coffin. The grass that is kept green about my last resting place will be of little avail to me on the other shore. Here is where I need the flowers and the smiles and the praise, not over there. If the fellow who is going round to the house after I am gone to see “if he can be of any help” will come round to-morrow, i can tell him how he can be a whole lot of Belp. Carry your flowers to the living and sing your songs of praise at the dinner table. Don’t wait for the funeral.—Liverpool (Eng.) Mer- cury. Where the Game Started. It was a beautiful spring morning early in the year 4004 B. C. (Ussher’s chronology). The ardent rays of the sun were diffracted and softened by the misty envelope which at that time protected the earth. Everywhere were signs of life and merriment. Suddenly there was a crescendo whis- tling sound as of a body moving rapid- ly through the atmosphere and some strange-shaped foreign object landed on the mossy turf with a dull, sicken- ing thud. Presently, however, Satan (for it was indeed he) sat up and rubbed himself. He recovered his wind and said: “Alas, my graft scheme wasn’t popular up there, but I'll eat my shirt if I don’t make it per- fectly respectable on earth.” Then he got busy in the garden and was doing nobly until the magazines got on his trail. Tale of Kanaka Brutality. This tale comes from New Cale- donia, where a ship was loading up with natives to work in Australia: “There was a man and a girl—a young couple, they seemed. She had a youngster, who hegan yelling at sight of the boat. ‘Can’t take that young- ster!’ the boss shouted. The woman said she wanted to come, too. ‘No, we can’t ship that squalling little beast. Leave him with his auntie.’ There was no auntie in sight. So the Kanaka man, after taking a look around, caught the kiddy by the heels, swung her around like a rabbit and dashed her head against @ tree. ‘She was only a girl anyway,’ he said, and slung her body into the scrub. Then they both hopped into the boat and were shipped aboard.” Why He Wept. During the funeral of one of the Rothschild family in Paris a beggar was noticed standing among the on- lookers sobbing bitterly. A bystander touched by the man’s grief, endeavor- ed to comfort him.. “Do not weep sc bitterly my poor friend,” he said. “See, even his relatives are able to restrain their grief more than yov are doing.” Then, as a new idea struck him: “Surely, you are Lo re- lation of M. de Rothschild?” “N—no,” sobbed the beggar. “That is just why I am so unhappy."—T.
