Duration of Noah,. rIood.

In Gould's "Notes and Queries" vol
umo 6, page 2s4, the following questions
are asked: "Are the floods known as
Noah's, Ducalions and tine Atlantean
deluges considered to be one and the
salne?' The editor refers the question
to his correspondents, and Mrs. l.. T.
George Of Chicago answers it, inciden-
tally giving the following curious par
ticulaFs and minute details concerning
the great breaking up Of the waters:'
"The deluge was threatened in the year
1886 and began on Dec. T. 1856, b. c..
and continued 317 days. The ark rested
upon Mount Arurat on May G. 1907, but
Noah did not leave it until Dec 1s fol-
lowing" Any reader who imagines that
it would be an easy task 20 figure these
details from the Biblical account can
find basis for his calculations in the
seventh and eighth chapters Of Genesis.

How Sugar 1Iclts.

If we drop lump Of sugar into a cup
Of tea, we find it takes a considerable
time to melt if allowed to remain at the
bottom of the vessel, but if we hold il
up in the spoon near the surface of the
liquid it dissolves much more speedily.
This is owing to the sugar, as it melts,
rendering the portion Of the tea con-
tanning it heavier. The sweetened part,
therefore, descends, leaving the sugar
constantly III contact with unsweetened
or only partially sweetened tea, in fact.
a continual circulation of fluid is pro
NOTED until the whole is dissolved.
When the sugar is placed or permitted
to lie at the bottom of the cup, it dis
solves until the layer Of fluid next it is
thoroughly sweetened or saturated, when
it practically ceases to dissolve any fur
ther, the sweetened and heavier stratum
above it acting for z considerable time,
until the law Of. diffusion comes grad
ually into play, like an imDervious COW
ering in keeping back the lighter un-
sweetened fluid above.
Hence the reason also why stirring, in
breaking up tho saturated layer and al
lowing access to the unsweetened por.
ton, is so effectual in bringing about
the uniform sweetening Of tea. Life Is
not infrequently swoetened by the same
stirring up process. Brooklyn Eagle.

IT may be a satisfaction of an ig.
noble kind for Senators Stewart,
PETER, Morgan and Teller to take
frequent SHES at President Cleveland
with, now and then, bitter
TRADE ;.but Cleveland is not diverted or
scared. He cannot be frightened nor
fooled into the application Of temporary
expedients" to our finances. Meantime it
may not be amiss TO recall the history Of
Ingalls, who became 'the statesman out
Of job" 80 soon as the people could get
at him after his virulent and vitupera-
tive att ok on Cleveland. Il would not
be .amiss also to recall the history Of the
sight the machine in New York made,
and the Knockout It got in Chicago
These historical facts show that the
people have an idea that Cleveland
means well that he is as honest as he is
determined; that he is right.

a short distance when Sands was thrown

tensions that few cities anywhere in the

any Of these respects. We could buy the

Of the neighborhood, the quiet and

When man has fixed his heart on
saloon keeping, he will try ihe most
desperate measures In their frantic
selfishness they will not spare even
the cloth Hence we had lost the
lamentable exhibition Of two Catholic
priests lending their otherwise respective
names to bolster up saloons How the
ungodly and wicked will chuckle over
the insane, childish, senseless letter Of
Father" Birmingham, and similar
Endorsement from Rev. p. Donahoe, Of
st. Anne's. These gentlemen made a
mistake. It is bad enough that the
worthy members of their church mon
opolze the rum joints of our town, but
It Is rather brazenly honest when
Catholic priests publicly do anything
that may be construed into defense Of

STORIES OF THE DAY.
Tho Tale Of Two Teeth.


A child's story, which I overheard
when supposed TO be asleep the other
day in the sun, should hardly be left un-
told It was narrated by female nov
elst of 7years old, to still younger
friend. and was, beyond all doubt, an
extemporaneous production: There
were once two teeth. aud they lived at the
back OF a mans head, and never saw the
world. and they were very sad and dull,
and they said to each other, Let
US ache, so they ached and
the man said, L must go to the dentist.
and the teeth were very glad. SO he
went TO the dentist, aud he said, These
teeth must come out. And the teeth
jumped for JOY in the mans head, for
they knew they would at last see the
world So the dentist took them out an
laid them on the table, and the teeth
sprang up while the man was still in
the chair, and they ran down the street
TO bakers shop, and stuck themselves
into buns. ILLUSTRATED London News.

while the comprehension OF the questions
involved and the sentiments and inten

more in consonance with the sentiments
and intentions Of the two peoples iu-
involved. If this controversy shall b,
