They Were Husbands-in.L.aw.

Not very long ago troubles in we'll
known Washington family were the
cause of divorce proceedings. The
wife got a judgment, though the hus-
band had filed a strong cross-bill. In
few months the ex-wife was again
married, this time also to Washing
ton man. One evening recently, at a
large reception, the two met unexpect-
edly, and an acquaintance not we'll mp
in the family history was proceeding
to introduce them. ''Oh, we've met
b efore,'' said the last husband; we're

THE WATER AND THE WINDS.

Some Interesting Facts bout Two OF Ma
ture's Greatest Elements.
Water covers about three-fourths of
the earth's surface to an average depth
OF two or three miles, although only a
comparatively insignificant fraction of
this distance from the seas surface to
the bottom is affected by currents,
which are almost solely due to the pre-
vailing winds driving the upperraost
layers of liquid before them.
Nevertheless, the effects of evapcra-
tion, the difference of temperature and
specific gravity, and our planets rota-
tion on its axis. must not be altogether
ignored even though their influence 10
most minute. The willful wind does
not pass without friction over the wa
ter on which it rests, but impinges on
the surface of the watery waste, and
drives it onward as a drift current.
When land, or occasionally another
current, is approached, the slowly
moving surface water is DETECTED along
line of least resistance. and stream
current is brought into existence.
Hence it follows that the configuration
OF coast not infrequently determines
the direction in which stream current
shall proceed.
The movements of the seals surface
and the superintendent air resemble
each other in many particulars. Both
are fluids subjeca to the action of
gravity; both expand with heat and
contract with cold. The warmer air
and warmer water follow similar in
direct courses from the equatorial re-
gions toward the poles. while at the
same time cooler air and cooler water
arc proceeding from the polar regions
in the direction of the equator.
Neither the air nor the water, how
ever, flows due north or due south; as
the equatorial-seeking streams lag be-
hind and deviate to the westward.
while streams preceding poieward in
crease their velocity and deviate to the
eastward. The effect of the earth's
detecting force is made manifest in
several other ways.-Chambcrs Jour

HAD A SHINE ALL AROUND.
A Bootblack Knows Kind Man When He
Sees One.

A BO0tblack Knows u Kind Man When He
Sees One.
The italian boys whose familiar cry
Of ''Shine, boss?" is heard on all the
ferryboats, are sometimes very clever
in their methods of extending the
trade. A well-dressed, middle-aged,
prosperous-looking man boarded a
South Brooklyn boat for New York
one afternoon lately. his shoes display
ing a variegated assortment of Brook
lyn dirt and dust. He nodded to a
bootblack who regarded his customers
shoes critically, observed that the Gus
toner was a. good-natured-lookin
man, and said persuasively:
''Catcha da plenta mud, boss. Dis-a
shine ten-a cent. Eh?"
The customer said all right. A little
boy, five or six years old, edged away
from sister TWICE his age, who had
him in charge, and watched the shin
ing operation with great interest. The
man was evidently interested in the
boy, and the bootblack noted that in
stantly. When the bootblack's first
Job was finished the man and boy had
formed u very friendly acquaintance.
''Let me give-a da boy da shine" said
the bootblack.
This pleased the man and amused the
boy.
'Now, who is your mother?" was one
Of the questions of the boy.
''His mother is dead, SIR" said the
sister.
"Ah, poor little chap!'' exclaimed the
man.
The bootblack regarded the girl ont
of the corners of his eyes, gave glance
at the man, finished the boys shine
and said:
''Let-a me give-a da lady da shine,
boss?''
Certainly, certainly" exclaimed the
man, and the girl laughed SO much over
the operation that the man was too
we'll pleased to remember that any
change was due from the quarter he
gave the bootblack.-N. Y. Sun.

An Idiots Memory.

Great men are usually said to have
great memories, but it does not follow
that all who have great memories are
great men. An idiot in Ohio was a
great curiosity many years ago. He
knew the whole Bible by heart from
beginning to end, and if any verse
was read or repeated to him he could
tell exactly in what book and chapter
it was to be found, and it's verse num-
Der in the chapter. He was considered
a great marvel in this particular, but
in every other he was mental i'm
beetle, and could not be trusted even
to feed himself.-St. Louis Globe

THE BREAD specTER.

In England . Century Ago.

LAWS Concerning the sSta6 Of Life" Passed
In England . Century Ago.
The bread specter now makes its ap.
pearance. The quartern loaf is one
shilling and three pence. The house
Of commons reports. It is still fond of
reporting. 1t suggests that bakers
should be compelled to sell ''stale bread
instead of new, to check the consump-
tion." 1t is fact, proved by the clear
est evidence, that one-half of the bread
in London is consumed the day in
which it is baked. This sounds very
dreadful, even toward the close of the
century. The suggested prohibition
became law, the fine for each offense
being five pounds.
Both houses of parliament pledged
themselves and their families not to
consume more than one quartern loaf
per head per week during the scarcity
(of course. the artificial scarcity of
grain. The lord mayor issues an order
OF assize which raises the price of the
quartern loaf to seventeen and quar-
ter pence. The use of -four for pastry
is prohibited February, 1900 in the
royal household by the royal family.
Rice is used as a substitute in the pal
aces. Possible substitutes for wheaton
-four were anxiously discussed. Bran
came to the fore, but it appeared that
pigs and poultry had the first charge
on this material. Grains were sug-
gested for pigs and potatoes for hui
manity.
The complaint arose that potatoes
were not sufficiently cultivated; but
no bill was brought in to make COM
pulsory potato farming the first duty
of all good citizens. This showed
great restraint on the part of the legis-
lature. Rice or potatoes were recon-
mended to be mixed with wheat to the
extent of one-third. Coal now be-
comes scarce, and consequently dear.
Fodder becomes dear and hackney-car-
riage fares are raised.
The lord mayor, by another assize
order, raises the price of the quartern
loaf to one shilling six pence. The SOL
diers are now told to hold themselves
in readiness if required. The fish mar
ket was then close borough, as it is
uow, free trade and advanced civiliza-
tion having in this instance done moth.
Ing for the poor consumer. An attempt
is made to render rice bread popular.
Selling from sample is denounced, and
SO is the middleman, while forestallers
and regraters are prosecuted in all di-
rections. Riots now begin and the de-
nounced middlemen have bad time of
it. The mob, when it is enraged, gen.
orally burns down the wrong house
and Furnishes the wrong people. In
1889 the mob destroyed the Bastile-an
aristocratic prison which had rarely
contained one of their order-and in
1871 they destroyed the Porte St. Mar

the Paris commune.-Saturday Review.

Whereat Harriet, who had been
