Tho Earth.s Evolution.

In one Of his recent remarkable leo
lures on somo Of the present aspects Of
geological science DIR. Roberts, as re-
ported in The Colliery Guardian, ex-
planned some of the facts ana phenom-
ena of this character pertaining to
Great Britain. Generalizing his subject,
DR.. Roberts compared the changes which
have in past ages taken place in the
crust of tho earth to the we'll known
processes of waste and renewal going on
in living body. Briefly stated, the
high portions of the earth, the racks
and mountains and solid land were be-
ing dissolved away and washed down
into the valleys and thence into the
seas by various natural processes, main
ly frost and running water. Examples
of the erosion of cliffs by the sea are Of
forded by tho condition of Duncansby
head and Staffa, and the crumbling
mountain peaks, shattered into powder
by natures great weight-frost-em

Describing tho Heroine.

In writing story, girls, don't say
your heroine has coral lips. That is
cheap. And don't pat any Swiss clocks
on the mantel, and don't have the fire
burning low in the CRATE, with an occa-
sional coal falling to break the oppress-
i've silence of tho room. 1t is also bad
taste to have the heroine wear white
morning dresses. 1t makes more wash,
and she can't do housework so we'll.
Neither should she be tall and thin, with
limp, short skirts tapping her heels
and small faded shawl pinned tightly
around her spare shoulders. If you CAM
think of any other heroine to describe,
picture your mother. She is probably
the only heroine in your family any
way. A great many stories find their
way into wastebaskets for the reason
that if the heroine was as she is de-
scribed the people would run from her
on the streets. ts.-Atchison Globe.

Battle. Decided by a single Shot.

Bntties Deciueu Dy q single Shots
There sre certainly three instances on
record of siege or battle having been
decided by single shot. First in order
Of Importance was the shot-believed to
have been fired by one of his own men
which killed Charles XII in the
trenches of the fortress Of Friedrichstein,
which Immediately led to the raising of
the second siege of Friedrichshall. This
is perhaps the most important musket
shot ever fired in the history of the
world. Next comes the discharge of the
mortar fred by Lord Coohrane during
the defense of Port Trinidad in 1908.
This shot foiled French surprise and
saved the fortress. Lastly, there was
the single discharge of grapeshot which
saved the fortress and town of Hadding-
ton in 154S. The French invaders had
actually forced their way into the out.

Tho Greedy Young Cuckoos.

Various theories have been advanced
in explanation of why should the cuckoo
alone among birds delegate the duties of
motherhood to bird of another species.
Only one of these theories, however, is
worthy of attention. Richard Jeffries
was Of opinion that the cuckoo did not
rear its own young, because the task of
feeding three or four young cucloos was
more than any single pair of birds could
accomplish. The incredible voracity CT
the cuckoo, he says, cannot be compuu-
ed. The two robins, or pair of hedged
sparrows, in whose nest the young cue
koo is bred work the day through and
cannot satisfy him. The cuckoo's diff
Guilty, or one of its difficulties, seems TO
be in the providing Of sufficient food for
its ravenous young. Three Of them
would wear out their mother complete
ly, especially if-as may possibly bo tho
case-the male cuckoo will not help IN
feeding. Montreal Star.

RUB THE OTHER EYE.
Good Advice Of an Engineer Regarding the
Removal of Cinders.

Good Advice Of an Engineer Regarding the
Removal of Cinders.
Nine persons out of every ten with
cinder or any foreign substance in the
eye will instantly begin to rub the rye
with one hand while hunting for the
handkerchief with tho other. They may
and sometimes do remove tho offending
cinder, but moro frequently they rub un-
til tho eye becomes infamed, bind a
handkerchief around the head and 60 to
bed. This is all wrong. The better way
is not 10 rub the eyo with the oinder iii
it at all, but rub the other eye as Wig
orously as you like, according to q
writer in The Medical Summary, who
relates the following experience:
"a few years since was riding on
the engine of q fast express. Tho en-
gineer threw open the front window,
and caught cinder that gave me tie
most excruciating pain. ! began to rub
the eye with both hands. Let your eye
alone and rub the other eye (this from
the engineer). thought he was chatting
me and worked the harder. I know you
doctors think you know it all, but if
you will let that eye alono and rub the
other one the cindor will be out in two
minutes, persisted the engineer.
II began to rub the other eye. Soon
I felt the cinder down near the inner
canthus and mado ready to take it out.
Let it alone and keep at the we'll eye,
shouted the doctor pro tenn. did so for
a minute longer, and looking i'll q small
glass he gave me found the offender on
my cheek. Since then l have tried it
many times and have advised many
others and have never known it to fail
in one instance unless it was as sharp
as piece of steel or something that cut
into the ball and required an operation
to remove it. -

A Queer Marriage Ceremony.

A queer marriage ceremony was that
in Queen EliZabeth's reign, before the
deaf and dumb alphabet was invented.
between Thomas Filshy and Ursula
Bridget. Ursula could talk fast enough,
but Thomas was a deaf mute, and as it
was required that promises should be ex
changed in spoken words nobody knew
how TO manage the thing. Finally the
bishop of london helped to devise a
service by signs, and Thomas proceeded
thus:
Having first taken Ursula il his arms,
he took her by the hand and put the
nuptial ring on her finger. He then laid
his right hand significantly on his heart,
and afterward, putting their palms to-
gether, extended both his hands toward
heaven. Having thus sued for divine
blessing, he declared his purpose to live
with Ursula till death should separate
them by closing his eyelids with his
fingers, digging tho earth with his feet
as though he wished to make hole in
tho ground and then moving his arms
and body as though he were tolling a
funeral bell -PittShurg Dispatch

Paid Millet,s Bills and Got a "corot."

M. Ziem, the Paris painter, relates a
dent of the French republic, and Corot,
the artist. NJ. Casimer- Perier, Jr., was
an intimate friend of Corot. On visit
which he made to the great artist in
1875 in his home at Verdizon, in the
forest of Fontainebleau, he found Corot
putting the last touches on his "Biblis"
C'Nymphs II the Forest at Sundown").
The masterpiece filled Casimir- Perier
with enthusiasm, and he begged the
artist to sell it to him.
"L'll give You my canvas" replied
Corot, "on one condition-thaty You pay
the butcher and baker bills Of my friend
Millet''
"Takenr' answered the wealthy
Frenchman.
In Chailly, where Millet lived, the
butcher and baker were asked to make
out their bills and send them to NJ
Casimir- Perier. The art lover was some
what surprised when he found that
Millet had lived on credit for 10 years,
and that the bills amounted respectively
to 20, 900 and "a, 900 francs-over So, :
900. M. Perier paid the bills according
to agreement and carried home the
Corot The price at that time was con-
sidered enormous. as the purchaser
could have bought the painting in the
market for about 1900 francs-less
than s400. The bargain, however, was
a good cne. as the picture today, it is
estimated, is worth almost $50, 900. 1t

MHEHE THE CATTLE CONE TO DRINK.

At evening, where the cattle come to drink,
Cocl are the long marsh grasses, dewy cool
The alder thickets and the shallow pool,
And the brown clay about the trodden brink.
The pensive afterthoughts of sundown sink
Over the patient acres given to peace.
The homely cries and farmstead noises cease,
And the worn day rclaxes, link by link.

The simple dignity of common toll
And the plain wisdom of unspoken prayer.

The Leader reads this city severe
curtain lecture in these very few words:
superior has spent $4,000 on her
harbors and over s, 900, 900 on streets
and sewers"
Here is food for thought by all tax
payers, property owners and business
men. 4 billion of money spent on
streets and sewers could not make a
city here had we no harbor, no lake
navigation. We do nothing to improve
our water front, but we sink 100000 in
a sinking monstrosity like the X street
sewer, without blush.
We have not a cent for harbor i'm
prOvements, but thousands of dollars
for digging bitches and putting in street
crossings on streets that begin nowhere
and end nowhere and have never been
trodden by man since the scheming con-
tractor LETT the job.
We have no money for the bay front
improvements. but thousands of dollars
for sewers that begin nowhere and 90
nowhere, that have 10 intake or outlet
and have not been thought of by any
body but the taxpayer, since their con-
struction.
What pity the officials who have
brought about this state of affairs could
not be brought together and buried in
these many cess pools of filth and cor
ruption they have constructed. Is it
not about time the people were giving
these matters little serious attention?
