People Who whistle.

Most people look upon whistling as
nuisance" said Herbert c. Subtitle, "but
there is no doubt that q whistling man
has a good deal to recommend him. 1
have friend who is a warden in large
penitentiary, and he states that in all his
long experience he never knew a ha-
bitual whistler condemned to term in
the institution, and he says, moreover,
that although the rules as to quiet and
order are frequently broken he never re-
members to have heard an attempt at a
musical whistle within the terrible look
ing walls of the institution. Whistling
seems to be the natural safety valve Of
good spirits and satisfaction, and the
grumbling man couldn't whistle if he
tried.
Il had q man to work for me once who
was model in every respect except that
he kept my teeth constantly on edge by
a series of whistling solos Of anything
but cheerful character, although the
good man was evidently trying to repro
duce the latest operatic hits. 1 broke
him of the habit by continuous scolding,
but the man became so idle and indiffer-
ent III consequence that was very glad
to encourage him to resume a habit
which at first had given me SO much an
noyance. 1 try to get out of the way
when the spirit moves him to announce
in whistling tones some important or ro-
mantle event, but l am perfectly certain
that as long as he whistles he will work
as hard as his hands and arms will let
him."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

CoIors of Sapphircs.

Sapphires have of late years become
fashionable gems. The blue of the
sapphire is very seldom pure or spread
over the whole substance of the stone.
Sometimes it is mixed with black, which
gives it an iEky appearance, sometimes
with red, which, although imperceptible
bv daylight. vet by artificial light gives
it an amethystine appearance. Two
sapphires which by daylight may appear
Of the same hue often differ extremely
in color at night. If the stone be held
in an ordinary pair of forceps an inch
beneath the surface of very'clear water,
the parts of the stone colored and I'M
colored will be distinctly apparent. This
remark applies to all other gems.-Cln-

thicker and thicker every year.

lakes surface about three feet, leaving
that distance between the water and the
roof.
Looking down through one Of the
openings made for the purpose in the
roof, we saw a low sided small boat.
Our guide put us one at time into the
boat. We lay fiat on our back and
looked up at the curiously beautiful salt

Many springs surround this lake.
Their water flows over the roof and
eyaporates there, and thus continually
adds to its thickness. After many years
the springs viii probably become choked
with their own deposits, and then the
whole viii gradually become covered
with earth, atid so great salt mine will
be formed-a treasure for the Siberians

correct some erroneous ideas of arctic

and of the beautiful blue on yellow
flowers she plucked for botanical puf-
poses. The vivid pictures, the dogs and
the Esquimaux driver, the sledge which
carried Lieut.. Peary 1900 miles, the skin
tents and many other articles gathered
on this memorable journey will contri-
butte to make these lectures wonderfully
realistic.

Canned Apples.

A remarkable rise in canned apples oc-
Cured last week, prices advaning to
1925 dozen. A year ago they were
dull at So dozen. The sharp advance
is due principally to the shortage in Eu-
rope and the West, and it would not oc-
casion much surprise if further ad-
vance should occur before long. The
stock is very low, and the packing sea-
son long past, while the consumptive de-
mand does not begin antil summer. 1t
is noteworthy in this connection that
owing to the increased demand, espee-
tally for canned fruits, but at very
small margin of profit, packers have
been very conservative. In consequence
Maine apples have ceased to be shipped
abroad but are consumed at home.
