Grouse Out of Season.

The 18th of August is all very well
in the game laws but you can buy
any amount of grouse on that date
if you can afford to pay for it, says
Harry Furniss> Indeed I once heard
of an old lady who bought some on
the 18th and in the street too. She
met a secondhand dealer who traded
in everything from mansions to
mousetraps. "Oh, Mr.. Levy, was
not aware that you sold game
What a beautiful brace of grouse
you have in your hand" Yes,
madam, I sell everything-even my
customers sometimes. I should not
like it to be known that I was selling
grouse before the 18th, but if you
don't mind the price you can have
them" Il would pay a guinea each
for Them" she replied. 1T is my
husbands birthday, and if there is
one thing he likes more than an
other it is grouse. "They are yours,
then, at that price" had this story
from Mr.. Levy himself. But where
did you get them?' asked. "At an
auction five minutes before. The
auctioneer broke the glass case by
accident, and as I had bought a lot
of rubbish he made me present of
the birds that were inside it-they
were stuffed.-San Francisco Ar

SHOOTING STARS.

Many people have probably noticed
the phenomenon known as falling or,
shooting stars. Although they are
90 frequent, however, the true ex.
PLANTATION of them ia not very widely
known. The stars themselves are so,
far off $50 far indeed that tho ordi-
nary mind cannot grasp the idea Of
their distance that we cannot as
cribe to them the long trains of light
that we see 80 frequently in the heav-
ems There have been many ex-
plantations given at one time or an
other, but the one now generally &C
cepted as the result of close investi-
cation is that the phenomenon of
shooting stars must be attributed to
bodies entering our atmosphere. The
stars that we see have no connection
with shooting stars"
But, independently Of the great
planets, there exist in the planetary
regions myriads of small bodies
which circulate about the sun in
groups of zones Some of these zones
intersect the elliptic or earth's orbit
and are encountered by the earth in
its annual revolution. It is these
small bodies entering our atmosphere
that produce what are called shoot
ing stars. There are several periods
of the year in which these zones of
small planets are so encountered, but
the two chief PERIODS arc from about
the 10th and 18th Of August and
about the same time in November.
In the first of the two periods the
phenomenon has been called St.
Lawrence's rain, on account of his
festival falling on the 10th of August.
These brilliant lights were POLITICALLY
looked upon by the Irish Catholics as
the burning tears of the venerated
saint.
Few people, however, are so fortu- .
nate as Humboldt, the great explor-
er, who on the 18th of November,
$780, while in Brazil was witness of
a remarkable exhibition of shooting
stars. He relates that the number
of luminous bodies traversing the
sky was SO great that one would have
thought it was some magnificent dis
play Of fireworks at a prodigious
height.
The average height Of these bodies
at the time OF their entrance into our
atmosphere is about 70 miles and at
the time Of their extinction So miles.
Their velocity is about 35 miles a sec,
ond Their weight has also been as
certaincd and has been found to vary
from two ounces to two hundred
weight. The smaller ones, by the
great rapidity Of their motion, are
soon converted into heat of sufficient
strength to change them into mean
descent vapor, and these we see as
shooting or falling stars. The larger
ones resist the action of the atmcs-
phere much longer, and some of them
even complete their fall, perhaps
burst and spread masses of n@eteo1ic
iron over large areas. London. Tit

Early Ideas Of Electric Lighting.

The great posi- bilities of electricity
for purposes of illumination seem to
have dawned in prophecy upon the
minds of electricians of the earlier
part of the century. Mr.. Richard J.
Bloxham, manager of the Western
Union Telegraph company in this
city, has a penchant for collecting
old books. Recently he secured. a
bound volume of the New York Mir
ror and Ladies' Literary Gazette of
1928, and in the number of Aug. of
that year found the following para
graph:
professor Meinach of Halle has
Just succeeded in producing a bril-
liant illumination by means of elec-
trio light, with the aid of artificial
air inclosed in glass tubes. AS the
electric sparks propagate themselves
to infnity the professor thinks it
will be possible to light up whole
city with a single electrifying ma
chine, and at very trifing expense
by the adoption of valuable improve
ments of the apparatus which he has
invented"
This statement, made in the time
of the venerable tallow candle, seems
almost to reflect the light of prophecy.

When NIussulman and HindoO Fight.

When Mussulman and HlndoO Fight.
The odd feature in these riots is
their immediate cause This is al
ways reported to be Cow killlng,'
but Mussullnans kill oxen all the
year round for food, and so do the
Europeans. The grievance is not that,
but display of the old feeling Of as
cendancy on the part of the Mussul-
mans, who on the day of their fes-
tival kill a COW close to a temple in
token of high religious defiance
Then the Hindoos, who do not
mind about the killings during the
rest of the year, turn out armed, and
there is battle royal, which but for
the English would in "a hours de-
velop into a religious war The Eng
ish, however, tell the police to fire
impartially on both sects, and the
police, though they are themselves
Mussulmans and Hindoos, do it with
delight, and there are peace and good
feeling for the ensuing year.
If that is not state of affairs to
puzzle Englishmen, there is no such
state. But Irishmcn would under
stand it at once. The armed police
in Ireland in a religious row plays
just the part it plays III India, only,
being English in discipline and anna
ment, it takes fewer lives.-London

4 orsat Scheme For Doing Away Win
Iron In the System.
Tho city editor was almost weeping
for q srnsation when the weird looking
man came in.
:. GIVE got a great scheme" he said
mysteriously by way Of salutation.
"What is it?'' asked the G. E. r.
''Scheme for changing the color Of red
hair" .".
Suppose persons having it don't want
it changed2 Red is glorious color"
"They don't have to unless they want
%. Nothing compulsory about it."
"What is it? Go ON and explain"
The visitor pulled up chair.
- "You know" he said, that red hair is
the result of surplus of iron in the sys-
tenn. This is what imparts the vigor,
the great vitality, the overlooking and
thoroughly healthy animal life that runs
riot through the veins Of the ruddy
haired. And this strong, sentient ami
NAL life is what renders them more in
tense in all their emotions than their
more lanquid fellow creatures. The ex-
cess Of iron is also the cause Of freckles
on the peculiarly clear, white skin which
always accompanies red hair. The skin
is abnormally sensitive to the action of
the suns rays, which not only bring out
the little brown spots in abundance, but
also burn like mustard plaster, pro-
ducing a queer, creepy sensation, as if
the skin was wrinkling up. Seer"
The city editor nodded.

TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NURSES.

TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NURSES.
There is in this hospital training
school for nurses, the object OF which
is to ct young men aud women for the
profession of nursing. They not only
become familiar with tho care Of the
insane, but xre trained in general
nursing ~ well, ", that after taking q
two years. course, aud graduating,
they will b. be competent to do general
sick nursing. and it they c|'"se to do
80, by taking ONE years. training In =
general hospital to become familiar
with surgical nursing, they will DO
competent I" do any kind of nursing
and will be much better trained than
the graduate Of Il general hospital.
The course Of study ia graded and
extends over two years, consisting OF
lect urts and practical il structi"n in all
the details ut the care "f the sick and
insane. Young men and w"m-n TAX
ing this two years course of training
receive an amount Of culture, inde-
pendent Of their training rs nurses,
which will fit them for any occupation
they may choose to take up after grad
uation, and it has the great advantage
of teaching tMm to he orderly, meth
odicAl and accurate, beside developing
in them the power Of self control.
During their un dergraduate term Ut
service, men are paid $18 90 during the
month and this is gradually increased
according to merit until after six
months they are paid $25 90. Gradu~
ates may, for good and extended SER
vice be paid $500 per month. Wo-
men are paid SIP 90 the first month to
be gradually inc reased to $500 after
six months Graduates may be paid
$500.
All applicants should be between Is
to 80 years of age, free from disease or
deformity, and they are expected to en-
ter for the full term Of instruction.
Each applicant on being accepted will
be expected to serve one month on pro-
baton, after which, if their service
has been satisfactory, they will sign a
contract with the accounting officer OF
the Institution and provide themselves
with the uniform for nurses.
1t is the desire of the institution to
elevate nursing to a profession OF
which any one would be proud to be
member, and We therefore wish to en-
list intelligent young women and men
in the service. At the same time 1t IS
best for them to thoroughly under
stand that they are undertaking an ar.
duous task, which will require courage,
patience and self-sacrifice on their
part. The regular term of instruction
will begin September 1st, and we
would like to have as many app'lca-
tinns as possible sent in before, that
time, although candidates can enter
