roof rose and fell with the violence
of the applause.

in her shell-like ear, "bccause, like

she ate up every one of the caramels

bite. - Rockland Courier.
The divining-rod has been brought
into requisition again for the dis
covery of springs, and with perfect
success (says an English paper dated
May 23). The Avonmouth Dock
Company have understood that if
good water could be supplied Com
pany would establish works for the
manufacture of sugar from maize.
A search was instituted; Mr.. Law
renee undertook it. He held the
ends of piece of spring steel, bent
to the shape of q horseshoe, his
elbows being pressed closely to his
sides. Walking across the field the
steel became agitated at certain
place, and twisted itself into rings,
one of which cut his fingers severely.
A boring on the spot has resulted in
the discovery, at the depth of 1O7
feet, of spring which flows at the
rate of 10000 gallons an hour.
When John Brown first entered
the service of Prince Albert, the
little princesses, hearing their father
address him as "Brown," used the
same form in speaking to him. The
Queen corrected them, and they all
addressed him as "Mr. Brown" ex-
cepting the Princess Louise, who,
imperious in childhood, persisted in
her right to use the name as her
father did. One morning the Queen
heard her and informed her that if
she again addressed Mr.. Brown with
out handle to his name she would
be sent to bed. The next day when
Brown appeared the future Mar
chioncss said: Good morning,
Brown" and then she added:
"Good night, Brown, for l am
going to bed. "-Manchester Courier.
Experiments have lately been
made by the French Government
with new kind of siege gun of pro-
digious power. 1t is described as
made of steel and nearly thirty feet
long, and the tube is strengthened
with ten coils of plated steel wire
one millimcter, or .039 inch in dia-
meter. The composition is such
that the cannon, after few dis
charges, becomes elongated by three
millimeters. The weight of the gun
is so tons, and it projects a shell
weighing 297 pounds, capable of
penetrating armor plates nearly 6
inches thick at range of y miles.
According to the Mueller Zeitu'g,
it is poor economy to leave the bran
and other impurities in the flour, and
the notion about black bread being
cheaper than white is simply fic-
ton. One of the best chemists of
Austria, DR.. Max Reubener, states
that, independent of its better taste,
the white bread is more economical
than the black, because larger
portion of it is digested in other
words smaller quantity of white
bread is needed against a larger
quantity of black bread, to satisfy
the demands of the body.
