Weight of Gold and Bills.

Said Mr.. C. K Stout of the treas
ury office, as he sat before the scales
with $4,000 or $4,000 in double
eagles at his elbow, How many 81
bills do you think it would take to
weigh as much as one of these coinsf'
The reporter considered moment
and made guess.
1T takes just q, unless the bills
are trimmed close. Twenty eight
new 81 bills always weigh a little
more than double eagle. Don't you
believe itl Just wait.
He disappeared in vault for few
minutes and presently emerged with
a package of brand new dollar bills
in his hand. Then he counted out q
of them and said to the reporter.
Choose any coin you will"
The reporter chose a coin, which
Mr.. Stout put on one of the scale
pans. Then he put the q dollar bills
on the other pan. The long needle
that moves on the index showed that
the beam was almost level. The man
of money added another bill to the
q. and the coin went up. Then the
reporter offered to treat, for his guess
had been shy just 973 dollar bills

Do BahIes, Eyes GroM2

How big are "a young baby's
eyesa" We have heard it stated that
"a young baby's eye" is as big as a
grown persons eye; that the eye
does not grow as the body grows;
that it is the same size when the
baby is born as it Is after the baby
has grown up to be man or wom-
an; that ii is born full size-is then
as big as it ever gets to be. This
statement has been submitted to a
number of experts on babies, who
generally agree that "a young baby's
eye" grows as the body grows,
though not in the same ratio. But
is it truel
Authorities are sometimes in er-

tangle themselves up in all kinds OF
contradictory statements of facts;
expert physicians do not reach the

cotton buyers oftentimes buy when

other devices for curling, waving or

A Shred OF Silk.

In the church of Alverstock down
by the Hampshire coast there is hang
ing a stained and tattered piece of
silk, the sight of which can scarcely
fail to rouse a sense of pride in the
breast of even the most phlegmatic
of Englishmen. 1t is all that war
and the seasons have spared of an
old regimental color of the Forty
fourth Foot, but it is a record of i'm
perishable heroism.
1t was waved through the battle
smoke around the Burmese forts; it
has traversed the Indian plains; it has
climbed the mountain wall that lifts
upward from the Indus shore; it has
witnessed struggle between hand
full of Englishmen and whole ma
ton in arms; it is the very flag that
hoated over the bayonets on that
fatal morning in the year 1S48 as the
battalion filed slowly through the
breach in the contonment wall at
Cabul out into the winding sheet of
snow stretching from the city to the
grim defile of the Jugdulluck.
The men who guarded the banner
are sleeping by the Cabul road. Its
blackened shreds, perhaps the only
vestige that is left of the whole
doomed column, rest there in the
quiet Hampshire church in a case of
glass and oak. Temple Bar.

The Coming WindoM.

A simple mechanical contrivance
is being adopted by English builders,
by which window sashes may be
given two movements, the one up
ward or downward and the other in
ward. Practically only one action
is required to effect the change from
an ordinary sash to a easement
window. By dropping a catch at
one side of the sash the cord is Sc
cured, the window frame being re-
leased from the sash and slipping
into pivot hinges, when it can be
opened as a easement and keys itself
in so doing When closing, the sash
again engages with the cord, which
runs in a groove in the pulley slide
and serves as one of the guides to
keep it in its place when working up
and down as sash. In this arrange
ment the beading, which is general
ly used to guide and separate the
sashes, is entirely dispensed with,
the sashes being guided by suitable
tongues working III grooves on the
right or hinge side. On the left side
the sash, when closed for use as a
lifting window, engages with ametal
block attached TO the end of the
weight cord, which serves to guide
it on the frame, the sash being also
so arranged that it cannot possibly
come off the hinges except when
closed. Philadelphia Ledger.

When Mussulman and Hindoo Fight.


The odd feature in these riots is
their immediate cause. This is al
ways reported to be "cow killing" F"
but Mussulmans 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 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 areligious war. The Eng
lish, 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 Irishmen would under
stand it at once. The armed police
in Ireland in a religious" row plays
lust the part it plays in India, only,
being English in discipline and arma'
ment it takes fewer lives.-Londol

Burros.


Donkey is in Spanish burro. In
Iexas, New Mexico, Colorado and in
Arizona, where the donkey is as well
known as the horse, he is alwavs
called by his Spanish name, on ac-
count of the fact that this section of
the United States so recently be-
longed to the Mexicans, who, as
everybody knows, talk that Ian
guage. The Spaniards and Mexicans
also apply the term "burro" to a stu
pld or ignorant person, Just as Eng
lish speaking races use the word
donkey"
The donkeys found in Kentucky
and Missouri are probably the largest
OF their race, because they are care
fully bred and looked after. But the
donkey of the west-the burro-has
no blood, no pedigree. Like Topsy,
he Just growed." With ancestors
no better off than himself, he has
been kicked and cuffed and over
worked all his life and left to pick
up his living as he could. In conse-
quence he is stupid and lazy and
stubborn and dwarfed.
And yet for all that he is patient
and long suffering, will grow fat on
rations that would scarcely keep a
nobler animal from starvation and is
a most valuable aid to the progress
of industry and civilization in the
west.-St. Nicholas.

Displays Are Produced.
Many people have probably noticed
the phenomenon known as falling or
shooting stars. Although they are
so frequent, however, the true ex.
planation of them is not very widely
known. The stars themselves are So
far off $50 far indeed that the ordi.
nary mind cannot grasp the idea of
their dlstance) that we cannot as
crlbe to them the long trains of light
that we see so frequently in the heav-
ems. There have been manv OK.
plantations given at one time or an
other, but the one now generally ac
cepted as the result of close invesri-
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
lntersect 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 are 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,
1893, while in Brazil was witness of
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
certained 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 incan
descent vapor, and these we see as
shooting or falling stars. The larger
ones resist the action of the atmOs-
phere much longer, and some of them
even complete their fall perhaps
burst and spread masses of meteOric
IRON over large areas.-London Tit
