Counting the Notes in the Sunbeam.


Counting the dancing notes in a
bar of sunlight sounds like one OF
those hopeless, never-ending tasks
with which malignant fairies delight
to break the spirit of little heroines
in the German folk stories. Some
thing more than this, however, has
been achieved by modern science,
which is now able to count the par
ticles floating in any given portion OF
the atmosphere, and determine what
proportion of these are dangerous
germs and what are mere dust. DR..
Frankland's curious experiments
have shown us how to count the
micro-organisms, and now Altken, OF
Falkirk, by a totally different method,
has been enable to take stock of the
more harmless but hardly less inter
esting dust notes. Thirty-thousand
such particles have been detected by
him in the thousandth of a cubic inch
of the air of a room. In the outside
atmosphere in dry weather, the same
measurement of air yielded 2,119,
whereas after a heavy rainfall the
number was only 521. That this
power of prying into atmospheric
secrets will eventually yield very i'm
portant results must be obvious to
all. Among the most curious dis
coveries already made is the direct
relation between dust-particles and
fog, mist and rain.

The Brides Outfit.

remember the time when no farm
er's daughter in the Mohawk Valley
was allowed to leave her fathers
home for another without her dozen
of sheets, pillow-cases, table-cloths,
towels, ETC., and a goodly supply OF
bedding, feather bed and pillows.
To these was added a cow, and
sometimes also a horse and a few
sheep. OF course it often required
some forethought and good manage
ment when the family was large and
the farm small, but it was no little
pleasure in such cases for the girls, as
fast as they advanced to marriage
able age, to appropriate calf or
some motherless lambs, and by care
and coddling raise them in readiness
for the possible event of their mar
rage. Likewise did they have their
pluckings from the geese to make
feather beds and pillows, and the
quilting-frame and spinning-wheels
helped them to the rest. These were
truly homely preparations, but in a
sense that is of far better significance
than ordinary bric-a-br and en-
broidery, which constitutes chiefly a

dare say that not many months
elapse before most young house
keepers wish their tinery, which was
thought so important at the time of
the wedding, could be transformed
into blankets or some other useful
articles. In home there must al
ways appear a complete background
of the necessaries to make ornaments

China Losing Patience.

The Boston Herald prints a letter
from Mr.. Henry Norman giving re-
port of an interview which he was
granted with the Viceroy of China
last November. We make this ex-
tract: "Of course, 1 asked him about
the question of Chinese immigration
to the United States. 4 understand
he said, as nearly as I remember,
that the newspapers have great
deal of influence in America. Well,
tell them from me that I ask them
to refer the matter to their sense of
justice. They make professions OF
dealing Justly with all the world.
How have they dealt with China?
They refuse us citizenship, they suffer
our people to be murdered Or ex-
PEELED by armed mobs, they shut us
out of their country, except under
certain severe restrictions, and then
when we agree to these they break
them off and exclude us altogether.
China has never done SO false and
unjust an act as that. Yes, we have
agreed to good many of these re-
strictions, but we shall not agree to
any more. China is able now to take
her own position among Western
Nations, and she will do so. Shall
we retaliate? I cannot say. We are
perfectly able, and the temptation is
great. We shall not submit in silence
to outrage and treaty-breaking, but
l hope and believe Americans will see
how wrong they are, and alter their
recent laws for themselves. If not,
the United States and China will not
be friends"

He Brought Back the Candle.

Cincinnati has the champion absent
minded man. A gentleman living in
the suburbs went in a store on Wal
nut Street to make a few purchases.
The only light in the store was a
candle standing on the counter near
the money drawer. After making
his purchases he handed the proprie-
tor a bill, and, after returning him
the change, the proprietor walked to
the rear of the store to arrange
something, when suddenly he was
left in the dark. He started toward
the counter, and, cropping round on
it, found, not the candle, but the
change. 1t struck him then that
probably the man, in a fit of absent
mindedness, had taken the candle in
stead of his change. He started out
after him, and catching up with him,
he saw that he had the bundle in one
hand and the candle in the other.
After apologizing for the mistake the
stranger took his change and gave
back the candle.

Striking Facts and Figures.

The following facts and figures are
not only interesting butencouraging
as they show a large decrease in the
number and cost of strikes. lockouts
and other labor troubles:
There were 697 strikes Brad
streets in 1888, involving Oil, S41
employers decline from 1887 OF %
per cent. If the number of strikes
and of SO per cent, in strikers.
Against 1886 the decrease in number
of strikers in SO per cent. Higher
wages or fewer hours were the causes
ofstrikes by 6S per cent. of the
strikers in 1883, against 81 in 1887.
Trades union questions were behind
the strike of II per cent. of the men
involved in 1888, against % per
cent. ofthe year before. Sympathetic
strikes almost disappeared last year.
About As per cent. of those striking
were in Pennsylvania in 1888,
against 80 per cent. in 1887. Only
SO per cent. ofthe strikers in 1888,
invoking so per cent. of the whole
number who went out, resulted in
favor of the employees, against AZ
per cent. of the strikes and 3S per
cent. of those involved in 1887.
There were IA 1897 employees locked
out in 1888, against 46,OOOin 1887,
of whom 80 per cent. were successful.
The number of days labor lost by
striking and lockout employees in
1888 was 7, 562, 4SO against 10, 25O,-
921 in 1887. If the labor be placed
$3.50 per man, the estimated loss of
wages to striking and lockout en-
ployers in 1888 would be $11 ,343,
100, against $15 ,3S0,SS1 in 1887, a
decline of 25 per cent.

Getting Square With Brute Of Hus.
band.

A certain little army surgeon, who
was stationed at Bungalore, had
selected very pretty girl out of an
invoice who had been frightened out
on speculation. She was very fond
of gayety and amusement, and, after
her marriage, appeared much fonder
of passing away the evening at a
ball than in the company otthe little
doctor. Nevertheless, although she
kept late hours, in every respect she
was very correct. The doctor, who
was a quiet, sober man, preferred
going to bed early and rising before
the sun to inhale the cool breeze of
the morning, and as the lady seldom
came home till past midnight he was
not very well pleased at being dis
turbed. At last his patience was
wearied out, and he told her plainly
that if she stayed out later than
twelve O'Clock he had resolved not to
give her admittance.
At this the young wife, who, like
all pretty women, imagined he would
do no such thing, laughed heartily,
and from the next ball to which she
was invited did not return till half
past two in the morning. AS soon
as she arrived the palanquin bearers
knocked for admittance, but the doc
tor, true to his word, put his head
out of the window and very ungal-
lantly told his wife she might remain
where she was. The lady coaxed, ex-
postulated, threatened and en-
treated, but in vain. At last she
screamed and appearedto be frantic,
declaring that if not Immediately ad-
mitted she would throw herself into
the well. which was in the grounds
not fifty yards from the bungalow.
The doctor begged that she would do
so fit gave her any pleasure and
then retired from the window.
His wife ordered the bearers to take
her on the palanquin to the well. She
got out, gave her directions, and
then skipped away towards the bun
galow, and stationed herself close to
the door against the wall. The bear
ers commenced crying out, as if ex-
postulating with their mistress, and
then, detaching a large and heavy
stone, two of them plunged it into
the water, after which they all set up
a howl of lamentation. The little
doctor heard the heavy plunge, fol-
lowed up by the shrieks of the palan-
quin bearers.
"Good heavens'' cried he, ''is it
possible?" and darted out to the
well in his shirt.
As soon as he had passed his wife
rushed indoors, locked, and made all
fast, and appeared at the window
from which her husband had ad-
dressed her.
The doctor discovered the ruse, but
too late. 1t was now his turn to ex-
postulate. But how could he hope
for mercy, renderingnon Thelady
was laconic and decided.
"At least, then. throw me my
clothes" said the doctor.
"Not even your slippers to protect
you from scorpions and centipedes,"
replied the lady, shutting the win.

At daylight when the officers were
riding out, they found the poor little
doctor, pacing the veranda up and
down in the chill of the morning with
nothing but his shirt to protect him.

Busy Manhattan Island.

It is doubtful if there is buster spot
in the world of the same size than Man
haitian island. With the year ending
with September the elevated railroads
of New York City carried more than
ITO, 900, 900 passengers. And that is a
passenger traffic only 1900, 600 less than
the whole traffic of the German empire
for the same time, with its $4,000 miles
of roads. In France, where there is
more travel, the record is 205, 273, $40
passengers carried over her 20, IA miles
of road, which is about Is per cent
more than went up and down in New
York and wandered to and fro in it dur
ing the same time. In this country
during the same time there were carried
1923, 225, 513 passengers over the 149, 912
miles of road; but in this were included
the ITO, 900, 900 of New York's intramu-
raj record. So it appears that this traf-
fic was about 40 per cent of the traffic
of the whole country, and it was carried
on thirty-two and one-half miles of
track, -Indianapolis News.

About Lord Tennyson's well-known
horror of publicity it is told that once,
when walking in his own grounds, he
was informed that some enterprising
tourist was looking down on him from q
tree almost over his head. The enthu-
siast was soon brought down from his
coign of vantage, The laureate, how
ever, secured page boy to keep off all
intruders in future, he being too short
sighted to notice them. Soon after this
youth had begun his duties it happen
ed that the Prince of Wales walked
over from Osborne to see Mr.. Tenny-
son. Arriving at the poets house at
Freshwater, he asked the boy whether
Mr.. Tennyson was in. The boy, think

that to You if he is?" ''Tell him." said
a. r. H., ''that the Prince of Wales
wishes to see him." The knowing
youth thereupon, not to be caught,
said: "You don't take me to be so

remarks he placed his thumb to his

Peddling Collins:
From q Villette. N. M, Special.

A peculiar old man, known only
as Boxem Brown, has long made a
living by peddling collins through
this territory. He travels with a
team of mules, a big wagon and
about twenty cheap collins of as
sorted sizes. He goes through the
country calling at each house and
asking in matter-of-fact way if any
thing in his line is wanted. 1t is not
often he sells coffin for immediate
use, but when a family contains an
elderly person or an invalid or a
large number of children, he general
ly suggests the propriety of provid-
ing against all contingencies, and
the persons addressed are generally
quick to see the point.

collins in the house." he says, "and a
great many more who have collins
ready for other people. One day I
called on man who bought child's

A herd of wild cattle was being driven
through the town of San Diego. A lit
tie child was playing in the street not
far from the spot where the cattle were
passing, when one of the bulls-a huge
creature with large horns-made sud
den rush at the poor BARN. To add to
the terror of the scene the drover was
tipsy, and in trying to turn the furious
animal he fell from his horse. Warning
yells arose from the spectators as they
beheld the terrible fate from which, as
it seemed, nothing could save the child.
At this very moment lady happened to
come into the street, and the noise of
the tumult at once attracted her atten-
ton. She saw the child's appalling dan
ger at glance, and Immediately sprang
into the empty saddle. She succeeded
in catching up with the wild bull and
threw her shawl over its head Just as it
was about to charge the child. She
then, without leaving the saddle, lifted
the child to her lap and took it away to
. place OF safety. This brilliant act of
bravery evoke round after round of APP
plause from every one who witnessed it.

A Twenty-Five Foot Giant.

January II, 1918, some masons dig
cling near the ruins of castle in Dau-
phine, in field which by tradition had
long been called the giants field. at the
depth of eighteen feet discovered a
brick tomb thirty feet long, twelve feet
wide and eight feet high, over all of
which was a mammoth slab of gray
stone with the word, "Theutobochus
Rex" cut thereon. Upon opening the
tomb they found human skeleton en-
tire, twenty five and one-half feet long,
ten feet wide across the shoulder and
FIVE feet deep from the breastbone to
the spinal column. Each of his teeth
was about the size as those of horse.

ceived three bills, two 81, 200 and one
