A charming has come to light
over In the unromantic city OF Brooklyn.
1t appears that not long ago a teacher
in one OF the schools for children set
them to writing compositions, of which
she herself was TO be the subject; that
is, the scholars were told they might
writo ont their impressions Of their
teacher. One of these essays, Of pecu-
liar literary excellence for a child,
drifted in some way into one OF the
Brooklyn papers, which In It's turn fell
into the hands OF a young dentist in
ono OF the growing towns in Montana.
The description of the teachers charma
30 captured his fancy and fired his
imagination that he was moved to write
a letter. addressed to her in care OF the
paper which published the composition.
In due time the letter reached her
hands, she answered it and q
brisk correspondence soon sprang
up. with an exchange of photographs
end condolences, which resulted in
the formation OF an engagement.
The marriage date was set, and
shortly before the month containing
the wedding day arrived the young dem
fist received q letter from his fianoee in
which she said that she had one more
important fact to reveal to him, name
ly, that, while her picture represented
her as being Il young woman OF some
personal charms, she considered 1t only
frank to tell him that her beauty was
marred by very defective teeth. which,
she naively added, could easily 10 re-

great expense,

defect or her business enterprise de-
stroyed the young mans ideal Ia not
definitely known, nor is 1t really known
at present that the marriage is positive
ly declared of, but it certainly does
look as II 1t were, for three times since
the receipt Of that letter has the skit-
tish young dentist written to postpone
the ceremony, and the young woman Is
consequently obliged to keep altering
h fashion Of her wedding gowns, in
order that her trousseau may very prop
erly represent tho lateat modes-a priv

titled to.

AT the suggestion of the fire insurance

ist named Paul Hodge, a resident OF

engine, which was first publicly tested
in front OF the New York City Hall, in
March, 1871, It. was a total failure.
Then the board of directors offered a
gold medal for the best method of ap-
plying steam to the propulsion of water
Tor fire purposes. This prize was won
by John Ericsson. the maker of the
monitor" recently deceased and more
recently removed to his native country.
The official report has the following
paragraph in regard to Ericsson's en-
gins: The points Of excellence, as thus
narrowed down, were found to belong to
an engine weighing less than two and a
half tons, which has the power of 1903

1t Represents the Exact Length of the
Greenwich Clock Pendulum,
Every n is acquainted with the Ia
ture and utility of tho yard measure. 1t
is the standard Of length in q dozen diff
ferent countries, regulating all other
measures, and, consequently, is the
foundation of business transactsons and
professional operations OF many kinds.
Its high utility is entirely dependent
upon its fixed and uniform dimensions.
It would be in the greatest degree in
convenient and unsatisfactory if a yard
in one country meant something en-
tirely different to that In a neighhoring
country; especially would this be true
did the different parts of a country pos
sess different standards of a yard meas.
ure. HENCE 1t is necessary to nave some
authoritative standard by which the
dimensions Of o yard shall be accurately
adjusted, and according to which the
legality of any measurement may be de-
termined.
Many curious particulars are con-
nected with the formation of this au-
thoritatiye standard of this and many
other Countries; few persons unac-
qnainted with the facts would have any
idea of tho interest that was formerly
attached to such q common object. In
the early history of Great britain dis
putes often arose in tho measurement
Of cloth, ETC., shopkeepers practicing
rank frauds upon the supplemented
people. To check this, Henry |. ordered
q standard yard to be made and kept at
Winchester, and decreed hat 1t should
be Of the length of his own arm. This
was a "rough-and-ready" mode of set
Ting the matter, one which presents a
great contrast to the formation OF =
standard measure in this day and age.
The disadvantage attending it was that
in the event Of tho standard being lost
or destroyed, 1t would be next to impos-
sible to construct another OF precisely
the same dimensions. To avoid any
such Q difficulty a scientific basis has
been taken for the formation Of ths
standard measure. Plainly stated, this
basis is the exact length OF the clock
pendulum which yibrates tho seconds OF
time at the great Greenwich obserya.

all the world are made.
This may appear to some of the"Curi-
GUS" to be a simple rule by which the

curate research, which only mathemati-

Cling forms.

cropping m the stairs, he reached the
teamster in a frenzy of i~ntoxication
beating and kicking his wife. The doc
tors eye instantly noticed a heavy whip
standing at the foot of the sofa, Seiz-

brought the loaded butt down upon the

delivered the blow had o thorough

There is a sunken forest Of white
cedar in New Jersey which has been

timber for over eighty years. The curl
GUS industry of digging for the sunken
logs is carried on by the people of Dem
nisville, Cape May County, a village
which was brought into existence solely

In its vicinity. Over the sunken forest
trees of large size are growing, and in
many instances these are cut away in

are of enormous size, two to five times
