A PECULIAR SUBSTANCE.
GIycerine Hardly Affected by Either Heat


Cold.
One of the great advantages of glycer-
inc in its chemical employment is the
fact that ii neither freezes nor evapOr-
atcS under any ordinary temperature.
No pcrccptible loss by evaporation has
been detected at temperature less
than 200 degrees Fahrenheit, but if
heated intensely it decomposes with a
smell that few persons find themselves
able to endure. 1t burns with pale
flame, similar to that from alcohol. if
heated to about 300 degrees, and then
ignited. Its non-evapOrative qualities
make the compound OF much use a
vehicle for holding pigments and col
ors, as in stamping and typewriter rib
bOns, carbon papers, and the like.
If the pure glycerine be exposed for
a long time to freezing temperature
it crystalliZes with the appearance of
sugar candy, but these crystals being
once melted it is almost an impossible
ity to get them again into the con-
gealed state. If a little water be added
to the glycerine no crystallization will
take place, though under a sufficient de
gree of cold the water will separate and
form crystals, amid which the glvcer-
inc will remain in its natural state of
tiuidity. If suddenly subjected to in
tense cold, pure glycerine will form a
gummy mass which cannot be entirely
hardened or crystallized. Altogether
it is quite peculiar substance.

LOST CARNOT'S HAT.
In the Excitement of the Moment Another
Man Wore 1t Away.

A strange incident, by the way,
marked the last days spent by Mime.
Carnot in the palace which had been
her home for seven anxious years. She
desired to preserve as precious relics
for her family all the articles of dress
worn by her husband at the moment
when he was struck down by the assas-
sins hand. These were carefully col
lected and sent to her, but the hat
alone was missing, and it was supposed
20 have been lost in the confusion of
that fatal drive. 1t appears, however,
that among the first to offer medical
help as the victim lay on his deathbed
at the prefecture was DIR. Girard, the
mayor of fCharbOnniereS.
When other surgeons took charge of
the case this gentleman discreetly
withdrew and was looking for his hat,
whereupon Col Chamoin handed one to
him. He put it on and went home.
thinking it was his own, for it fitted
him exactly. Not until some days later
he cast his eyes on this article of head
gear as ii hung in his hall, examined it
more closely and found it marked in
side with c. did he recognize his
mistake. The lost hat was forthwith
restored and Mime. Carnot acknowl-
edged its receipt in letter expressing
her heartfelt thanks.

ENGLISH HARVEST SONGS.
Ditties That Are Sung to Tighten Heavy
Labor.

Labor.
When the ricks are matched. when
the labor money is paid, when the plow
has turned up the soil carpeted with
grass and stubble, and the harvest
moon has risen and lived her short hut
gloriOusly golden career, then comes the
harvest home and the harvest song. In
England, says the GentlemanS Maga-
zine, we have the harvest sermon in the
village church, the supper in the barn.
interspersed with many a Jest and
many a song; and it is of these same
songs, so typical of rustic life. that |
am going to speak. In those countries
where the vine is cultivated there is no
end to the merriment which follows
the anxious days of moisSOnage. The
fruit is gathered. the winepreSs trod.
the vintage bouquets put together and
presented to the ladies connected with
the wine farm, and all the time there
is a perfect festival of song. simple and
bright and full of harmony
In Tuscany. in France, in Germany.
and in Russia. there are numbers of
harvesting songs. all more or less full
of poetry. and instinct with charming
melody; therefore We should like to
think that our own country is not far
behind In this matter of harvest sing
ing. although the gleanings are not
associated with the romance of the
grape. Unfortunately. harvest suppers
and harvest songs with them. are dy-
ing out, and the sooner we preserve
any glamour of characteristic humor or
pathOs they may have owned the bet
ter.
As the sailors chanties were used To
tighten the labor of hauling and heav-
ing before the days of the steam winch
and patent capstan. so were the har-
vesters' songs required to help the
reapers and the cleaners in the times
when the sickle had not even given
place to the broad hook. much less to
the machine. The harvest supper was
always an occasion for the singing of
good, Old-fashioned songs, of which
each man had his own repertoire.
which he gave untiringly year after
year. Such standard works as John
Barleycorn,' ''Carrion Crow. and The
Farmers Boy" are, or rather We're. an
Indispensable part of the harvest-home
supper.

PETER MINUIT'S MISTAKE.
He Lost Money When He Bought Man
haitian Island for Twenty-FOur Dollars.

He Lost Money When He Bought Man
haitian Island for Twenty-Four Dollars.
History tells us that 26s years ago,
or in 1626, Peter Minuit bought Man
haitian island from the Indians and
paid for it S24 in merchandise.
1t has usually been thought that
Peter took advantage of the ignorance
of the untutored savage and made an
excellent bargain for himself.
No doubt but that Peter thought it a
good trade, particularly when he con-
sidered the value of lots after the
streets would be laid out, Central park
improved, Brooklyn bridge built and
the island had a population of two
millions; for Peter was a shrewd real
estate specuIator and looked a long
way ahead with a correct, prophetic
eye.
Notwithstanding all of Peters
shrewdness and foresight he made the
mistake of his life and lost millions of
dollars by his purchase. He didn't stop
to figure interest.
Since 1926 the rate of interest in this
country, where money has always been
in demand, has ranged from six per
cent. up to highway robbery. 1t Will
be conservative to say that eight per
cent. is a fair average.
Now. if Peter had loaned his S24 at
eight per cent. compound interest, from
then until this date. what would its
value be, compared with the value of
Manhattan island?
At eight per cent. compound interest,
money will double once in about nine
years. Now, there have been twenty
nine times nine years, and seven years
more. since Peter made his purchase.
Then. if he had loaned his S24 he would
have had nearly S4OO,OOO at the end of
the first one hundred years. and more
than S2OO. 900, 900 at the close of the sec
ond century, while in 1894 his principal
of S2i would have grown to be S20,OOO.-
600, ,OOO-the value of Manhattan island
many times over.
SO, in fact the Indians got the best of
the bargain, and no doubt they
chucklcd over the situation as they
walked through Baxter street with the
S24 worth of merchandise in their arms.

OFFICIOUS FLOOR WALKERS.
How shoppers Are Annoyed and Lives OF
Clerks Made Miserable.

5hOppers are Annoyed and Lives OF
Clerks Made Miserable.
The officiousness of floor walkers in
certain dry goods stores-not often
found supplemented by the zeal of
young women behind the counter-is
sometimes embarrassing. Even if one
projects large purchases one more
often than not prefers small fuss
about it, but it is awkward and a trife
mortifying if you just want to look
about to have some one insist on es-
scOrting you to some particular coun-
ter.
a little of the superflous energy
might needfully be absorbed by the
shopwomen, who often find it too
troublesome to listen attentively to
what one wants.
Entering a Sixth avenue store one
day last week, a lady saw it was not
the one she had meant, and naming the
store she wanted to an attendant,
asked him how many doors away it
was.
She had not got out of earshot with
her directions before the floor walker
Pounced on the attendant to know
how it was he had let possible pur-
chaser escape.
Gould you not have told her she'd
do better here? You're no business
man. Don't talk to me about simply
answering question. She was a GUS
TONER, and if you were worth your sal
ary You wouldn't have let her go"
The lady in question heard all this
1t cost her an embarrassment in feel
ing and threatened to cost the poor at
tendant an embarrassment in fact. as
she left the floor walker plying the
lash with vigorous purpose which
might end in driving his victim out.
