Queer Phenomena of Falling Bodies.

am unable to say who first noticed
the peculiar caprices of stone or
other heavy body dropped from the top
of high tower, says writer in the
st. Louis Republic, but it is neverthe-
less curious fact that such objects in
variably fall slightly to the east of the
perpendicular line. Persons of inquir-
ing turn of mind who ask why this is
as it is may find an answer in the fol-
lowing: All falling bodies partake of
the earth's eastward motion to a great
er or lesser extent. Therefore during
the time occupied by stone in falling
from the top of high tower or other
eminence the earth's rotary motion has
carried it an appreciable distance to
the east. The initial impetus of the
stone has carried it to the eastward
also, therefore it strikes the earth t.
the east of the perpendicular, varying
in degree according to the height from
which it has fallen. A curious article
on this subject may be found in the
Leipsic Zeitung of May 0, 1889, page g.,
The author of the article, who has
given it the title of 1.-THE Nonperpen-
dicularity of High Towers" claims
that the tower on st. Peters cathedral
at Rome leans at least eighteen inches
to the east.

Why the People Grow Poor.

MIR. Harter of Ohio, one of the
greatest financial lights of the old
parties, said in his speach in the
House short time ago that the peo.
pie were furnished by the banks in
checks, drafts, bills of exchange and
other devices used as money, four
billions six hundred millions of credit
dollars. This credit money cost those
who borrowed it not less than 6 per
cent (and in all probability very
much more) in interest which am.
amounts to two hundred and seventy
six millions per annum for the
privilege of using this phantom bank
money. Is it matter OF surprise that
bankers grow rich and the industrial
classes grow poor?

A SLIGHT MISTAKE.
An OfhciOus Smart Man Gets Himself

An OfhcIous Smart Man Gets Himself In
to Trouble.
The smart man was getting off a
train, when he saw q couple ahead of
him who at once challenged his atten-
ton and indignation. The husband
was walking off with his hands in his
pockets, while the wife carried baby
and a large basket and valise.
This was too much for the smart man
and, stepping up to the overloaded
woman, he said:
''Let me assist you, madam" and,
seizing the basket and valise, he ran
after the husband, whom he grabbed
without ceemony.
Here, sir, carry these things for
your wife. / should think you would
be ashamed to call yourself man, and
permit your wife to bear all the bur
dens in this way. Let this be a lesson
to you, sir, to-"
"Hellol" interrupted the stranger, in
dignantly, ''she amt my wife. l never
saw the woman in my life till now"
At the same time the woman was
shrieking at the top of her voice: stop
thief" and it took the smart mans ut
most eloquence to convince the depot
policeman that he was not a sneak
thief, instead of self-appointed re-
former of other peoples morals and
manners. Free Press.

How to Eat an Orange.

There is no doubt that half the
pleasant flavor of the orange is de-
stroyed by the difficulty of eating it
gracefully, although that is feat of
which, like building an open fire, every
one imagines his method is the best.
So great a terror does an orange in
spirc in a woman at a luncheon, with
the fatal example which has so often
been told hanging over her of the man
who broke an engagement when he saw
his sweetheart hacking at one, that
this delightful food is generally ia
booed. One feels tempted to follow the
example of the dear old lady who was
in the habit of retiring to her room
with an orange and locking the door
after her. But the mystery was lately
solved at luncheon, and the solution
will be hailed with delight by house
keepers. The oranges were peeled and
sliced and brought on the table cut up
fine in punch glasses in which there
was great deal of juice. In each glass
there was cracked ice and sugar. and
this delicious combination, which en-
bodies all the delights of the fruit, with
none of its disadvantages, is eaten with
