Teapot Collectors.

Tea was not known in England till
the time of Charles II, but it is inter-
esting to trace the gradual increase in
the size of teapots. from the diminutive
productions of the Elers, in the time
of Queen Anne and George I, when tea
was sold in apothecaries' shops, to the
capacious vessel which supplied DIR.
johnson with 1.-The cup that cheers but
not inebriates. Mr.. Croker, in his edi-
ton of "Boswell's Life" mentions a
teapot that belonged to DR.. johnson,
which held two quarts, but this sinks
into insignifcance compared with the
superior magnitude of that in the pos
session Of Mrs. Marrayat of Wimbledon,
who purchased it at the sale of Mrs.
Piozzi's effects at Streatham. This tea
pot, which was the one originally used
by DR.. johnson, holds more than three
quarts. George " had a large assem-
blage Of teapots, piled in pyramids in
the pavilion at Brighton. Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Carter was also a collector of tea
pots. Also Mrs. Halves, who b~equeathed
800 specimens to her daughter, Mrs.
Donkin. Among them are several be-
longing to Queen Charlotte. - Salas

"Are you a COMMODORE" asked the

breath and said he wasn't.
Then you can't go in" said the

right. The cabinet member was a

of the navy department messengers, are
not those of hat official rank. Senators

Remarkable Experiments which SHOW
How Easily the Eye Is Deceived.

hAa stbAF III hHfEl hnUW
How Easily the Eye Is Deceived.
Some very remarkable experiments.
which any enc, with a little care, may
repeat for himself, have recently been
made on the perspective effects of color.
If on a screen of black velvet placed
about 10 feet away large letters are
pasted, some blue ard some red, the let
ters will not appear to be at an equal
distance from the eyes. To some per-
SONS the red letters will seem nearer
than the blue letters, while to others
the contrary effect will be manifested,
the blue letters appearing nearer than
the red ones.
To produce this curious effect both
eyes must be used. When one eye ia
closed, the letters are ali seen at the
same distance. On opening the other
eye one set of letters Immediately APP
pears to take a position in advance of
the others.
The explanation offered is that a sort
of stereoscopic effect is produced in the
eye itself, depending on color. The i'm
age of a blue object is shifted by the
y kONdA4 Ol4O 611Os Glttt lldbo vi n q
object toward the other side, the cause
of the shifting being the eccentricity of
the pupil of the eye.
This eccentrlcity may be increased by
holding a black screen close to the eye
SO as to one-half of the pupil.
The effect is best viewed by screening
both pupils at the same time. If on
1OOkiDp at h17a and rad Ia++arr n NJ N bJanI~
background placed 10 or 10 feet away
you see the red letters nearer than the
blue ones, screen off one-half of the pu-
pill Of each eye, on the outside, and you
will then see the red letters retire be-
hind the blue ones.
If you screen the pupils ON the side
toward the nose, you.will see the red
letters advance apparently still farther
ahead Of the blue letters.
If, on the other hand, you naturally
see the blue in advance, screen the in
ner side of your pupils, and the red will
come to the front.
1t has lately been shown by DR.. A.
ID. Waller that very beautiful effects
can be produced with one eye alone
when, instead of letters, red or blue
rings are pasted on a background of
the opposite color. Placing red rings
on blue paper and using the right eye
with the inner side of the pupil COW
cred, the appearance is that of circular
red hillocks resting upon a blue ground.
To produce this effect in its highest
degree the paper should be held to the
left and sloping in that direction. When
the outer side of the pupil is screened,
the red ring become circular trenches in
the blue paper.-Youth's Companion.
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1894-05-11

In country places where amusement
is not abundant and people depend upon
each other for diversion, neighborly ia
miliarity naturally fourishes, and the
habit of running in" to visit friends
may be carried TO an unpleasant excess.
A family living in North Carolina
found it something of a strain upon
their ideas Of hospitality to be obliged
every day to entertain a tedious woman
of so. The favorite book or the neces-
sary piece of work had to be put aside
in order to shout bits of conversation in
her ear.
At last the father, in desperation,
planned to go into a sudden fit of tenn
per in the presence Of the obnoxious
caller in the hope of convincing her that
they were not pleasant people to visit.
Accordingly one evening, when he re-
turned from business and found the old
lady present as usual, he began to talk
loudly and in an irritated voice. Then.
growing more excited, he stamped about
the room, knocking furniture right and
left and ended by going out and bang
ing the door after him.
The old lady knitted away quietly
through the confusion, and when the
man was gone she turned to the family
and said in a comforting voice:
Il reckon it was mighty lucky I was
here, or you'd had to take it. But you
needn't be frightened. I'll stay right
here with you till he gets over it,

Lured to His Fate.

They sat in the parlor, gazing at the
natural gas flames as they chased each
other over the asbestus surface.
The two were Miss Bellefield and Mr..
Van BRAIN. and the young man was in
love with the young woman He was
doubtful of her feelings toward him, how
ever, for she was not a girl to display her
love, if she had any, until it was sought.
The young man had not spoken. He dread
ed the ordeal. He was fearful of the re-
suit. The conversation turned upon mar
rage, and in the course of the discussion
Miss Belleneld said:
ain Burmah the women propose to the
men,"
"How I wish we were in Burmah," the
young man replied, with a slight stress
on the plural pronoun.
"It wouldn't do you any good if we
WERE" replied the girl, and Mr.. Van
Braam did not linger much longer that
evening.-New York Recorder.

A MODEL SAVAGE.
Hing Khazna Is an Autocrat of the Best
Possible Type.

King Khazna Is nm Autocrat of the Best
Possible Type.
King Khama is a model savage, if q
black man who has been thoroughly
civilized by European and missionary
influences can still be called one. He
is an autocrat of the best possible type,
whose influence in his country is en-
tirely thrown into the scale Of virtue
for the suppression of vice. Such a
thing as theft is unknown in his realm.
He will not allow his subjects to make
or drink beer. He has put a stop also
to the existence of witch doctors and
their wiles throughout all the Bamang-
wato.
He conducts in person services every
Sunday in his large, round kotla, or
place Of assembly, standing beneath the
tree of justice and the wide canopy of
heaven in a truly patriarchal style. He
is keen in the suppression of all super
~stitions and eats publicly the flesh of
the duyker, a sort of roebuck, which
was formerly the totem Of the tribe and
held al sacred among them 30 years
ago. The late King Sikkome, Khama's
father, would not SO much as step on
a duyker skin, and it is still looked up
on with more generation by his sub
jects than Khama would wish.
As an instance of Khama's power and
judgment, it is sufficient for us to quote
the sudden change of his capital from
Shoshong to the present site, Palapwe.
ChNDhor~ uyn -. @-- 1r.k -,
where the Bamangwato could effectual-
ly protect themselves from the Mata-
beles' raids under L~obengula, but it was
badly supplied with water, and in dry
seasons the inhabitants suffered greatly
from drought. The change of capital
had been a subject discussed for years,
but Khama waited quietly until people
began to think that he was against it
and would never move. He waited. in
fact, until he was sure of British pro-
lection, until he knew that Lobengula
could not attack his people at Palapwe
without embroiling himself in a war
with England.
Then suddenly n day, without any
predatory warning, King Khama gave
orders for the move, and the exodus
began on the next day, and in two
months time Is, 900 individuals were
located in their new capital, 60 miles
away from S~hoshong. Under Khama's
direction, everything vas conducted in
the best possible order. To every man
was given his allotted ground, and he
was told to build his huts thereon. Not
a single dispute arose, and no II would
imagine today that only a few years
ago Palapwe was uninhabited.
Khama, in ann and appearance,
is thoroughly a gentleman, dignifed
and courteous. He wears we'll made
European clothes, a billycock hat and
gloves; in his hand he brandishes a
dainty cane, and he pervades every
thing in his country, riding about
from point to point wherever his pres
nce is required, and if he is just a lit
tie too much of dandy it is an error
in his peculiar case in the right direc-
tion.-Contemporary Review.
