Hardly a Courier.

It is related of Felix Moscheles, the
pianist and composer, and the much
loved teacher OF Mendelssohn, that at
one time, after a concert tour, he
took the vessel from Calais to Dover
in most unpropitious weather.
"It was a day never to be forgot
ten!" he says. 1--WE spent fully four
teen hours on the stormy sea-. l was
tormented with all the sufferings of
eea-sickness. At last, about midnight,
when We were getting near Doves and
the steward asked me for my passage
fare. l only had strength to pu"tt to
my we'll filled pocket. For shame"
exclaimed the steward; "a courier,
and sc seasick!"
lana whence did I get this title of
courier? At the Austrian Embassy
they had stamped my large packet Of
music with the Imperial seal, and in
scribed it Dispatches, sothat Knight
travel free Of tax and delay, and the
steward quite naturally supposed 1
was the bearer OF dispatches, crossing
and recrossing the channel frequent
ly."
The musician does not say whether
he explained the mistake or not, but
he does state his relief when, arrived
at Dover, he exchanged the vessel for
the mail-coach, and his qualms were
ended.

GETTING INSIDE OF a NUI.

Repeated Failure Doesn't Seem to
Teach Mice a Valuable Lesson.
In front of me as l write I have a
tray full of shells that have been ridcd
by the nut-crackers Of the avenue,
says q writer in the Contemporary
Review. Those with the large, irregu-
lar rent and sorue with the whole side
ripped Oft with Jagged edges are the
squirrels work; these with the round.
oval holes, always near tie big end Of
the shell, have been plundered 10y
mice. But it is curious to note how
often the same she'll has another hole.
much smaller and perfectly round, on
the other side and nearer the small
end. Why was this? Did the mouse
get all it could reach out through the
big hole at the big end, and then
like Isaac Newton with the large door
for the cat and the little one for the
kitten-take the trouble to nibble q
little hole in the very hardest part OF
the nutshell to get at the. rest of the
nut? The squirrel would have turned
the nut upside down and let the kerr
mel drop out. I wonder The mice have
not given up eating nuts long ago.
The labor they expend is enormous.
But they do not Gare for trouble, APP
parently. Note these walnuts. Each
has two little round holes, one on each
shell, nearest the sharp point end OF
the nut, and it is easy to see what
happened. The mouse nibbled N
hole, ate what it could reach-very
little, indeed-and then found that, for
some reason or another, the walnut
was fastened inside Of the shell. So
then it tried the other side with ex-
actly the same result, and then it left
the nut in disgust. But this did not
prevent it attacking the next walnut
in precisely the same way with pre-
cisely the same barren results, and
the next and the next and the next.
The partitions inside the nut prevented
the mouse getting at the kernel, but
it did not desist from trying. On the
other hand, absolutely useless work Is
ever, so far as I know, done by the
mice. I never found an empty nut or a
bad one that they had attempted.
The squirrel, on the other hand, does
not care how high his nuts arc. But
when the think that the squirrel
relishes young fir cones with turpen-
tine oozing out 1T every pore we can
appreciate the dura lila with which
nature has blessed the merry little for
ester.

Altar of roses, musk, civet and am
bergris are among the costly per.
fumes. Altar of roses WHOLESALERS at

ounce, ambergris at $50 and musk at
$40. The retail prices of these things
r much greater, but they are usu-
ally sold to the so-called consumer in
highly diluted form. The whale that
secretes ambergrjs has become so
scarce now that little of the perfume
is found, and it is hard to obtain in
the market at any price. Amber
girls is sometimes found floating at
seq in regions f%requented by the
whale that secretes the material. A
newly established Wholesale drug firm
made a large profit on a fortunate
purchase OF ambergris. A ship came
into port with several barrels, and
the shipmaster had no clear notion
of it's value. The druggist bought it
at So. so an ounce, about one tenth of
it's value, and sold it in small quanti-
ties at a great advance.

When Wives We're Cheap.

. WON SlI0oP H
In the London Times for the 18th
of July, 1907, mention was made
that a butcher had exposed his wife
for sale in Smithfield market, near the
Ram In,' with q halter around her
neck and one about her waist, which
tied her to a railing. A hog drover
was the happy purchaser, paying the
husband three euineas and a crown
for his depated rib" A few dayslater,
commenting on this sale, the Times
said: "By some mistake in our re-
port of the Smithfeld market We had
not learned the average price fol-
wives for the last week. The increas-
ing value of the fair sex is estimated
by several eminent writer's as a GER
tain criterion of increasing civil
cation. Smithfeld has, on this
ground, strong pretensions to refined
Improvement, as the price of wives
has risen in that market from half a
guinea to three guineas and a half"

About Lighthouses.

The lighthouses of the world ale In
round numbers 5000, with about $50
liahtships. OF these lights Europe has
$500; North America, 1929; Asia,
476; Oceanica, 319; Africa, 219; South
America, 169. and West Indies, LOG.
The coasts of the United States are IL
Illuminated by 9O2 lights. distributed,
according to the Boston Globe, as fol-
lows: Atlantic coast, 467; Gulf coast,
70: Pacific coast, 3S; and the North
western lakes, 21S. Of these lights
thirty-two are displayed from light
ships, nearly all of which are ON he
Atlantic coast. The most famous light
house of which history gives any rec
ord was the lighthouse of Pharos, on
the eastern end of the island of that
name in the bay of Alexandria. 1t
was begun by Ptolemy Softer, and was
finished by his successor, Philadel-
phus. It is said to have been 400 feet
high and to have cost $1.24O,OO0.
The Oldest lighthouse in the world is
at Corunna, Spain. 1t was built in
the reign of the Emperor 'Tra1an, inc
in 1884, was reconstructed. England
and France have towers erected by
their Roman conquerors, which were
used as OOuIlAoliAA6 IAO"
with the light towers that have been
built for the benefit Of commerce we
see that the art Of building has lost
nothing with the lapse Of time. The
great Improvement of the later towers
oyer their predecessors is that the
stones of each course are now dove
tailed together laterally and verti-
cally. Formerly metal or wooden pins
were used or dependence placed en-
tirely in cement. The modern method
was first used at the Hanois Rock sose
and at each end Of n block are
doyetailed projections, and on the I'M
der face, and at the other end, are
dovetailed indentations: The upper
and under dovetails fall into each
other, and when the hydraulic cement
il placed on the surface it so locks
he doyetailing that the stones cannot
he separated without breaking. So,
when the cement is set and hardened,
the whole Of the base is literally one
solid mass of granite.

HOW WE LIVE IN AMERICA.
Both In the Matter Of Food and
Dress This Country Is Far Ahead.

Both In the Matter Of Food and
Dress This Country Is Far Ahead.
It has long been stoutly asserted
that the average American eats bet
ter food and wears better clothes
than any other creature on earth.
But now science comes forward with
her searchlight of fact and reason to
give all needed support to this import
ant claim. The process of proof is as
follows: The unit of food value is
known technically as "caloric." The
declared average of the American
workingmen's rations is $500 calor-
les per day, the Europeans diet only
reaches from 1870 to 1900 calorics
per day; thus demonstrating the
%nutritive value of our food to be
about twice as great as the English
mans or Frenchman's.
Professor Atwater very pro perly
concludes that thosefortunate enough
to live in this land OF Goshen enjoy
only one priceless boon: "a rich
abundance Of the food they need to
make the most of themselves and
their work"
Proper physical support is the
basis OF our animal life and gives that
liberal nourishment necessary for
large productions andintellectual and
moral progress. Let ascetics rave as
they please and get their notices from
the cynic tub. it yet follows that a
correct use of these provisions is the
maine condition of q comfortable life
aye, of life itself. Bread has a di-
vine mission. TO abuse eating is glut-
tony, to have nothinRto eat is misery
and death; and it seems to us that
none may strike the golden mean so
efficiently as Americans. Concerning
dress, ask any observant man who
has visited Europe to give you a re-
suit of his experience in the matter:
The concurrent verdict is in favor of
the American attire.-N. Y. Ledger.
