Cleanliness In One Home.

Alexander Selkirk resides in Detroit,
and, strange to say, his wife's maiden
name is Robinson. She is, take her a
in a.. the very pink o. perfection When
he comes hame at cen, he is obligated
to takeof his boots in the passage. She
hands him his clippers. Whnn he puts
them on, he jumps tlae a. hat to an
ither till he reaches his chair When
he sits doom to supper, she ties a bib
round his neck and twa or three nap
kins on his knees. Ii a nlorsrl o beef
or bread should happen to ia on the
floor, she directs his attention to it and
informs him that a guilty conscience
needs nae accuser. Her stove shines as
bright as her coal black eye, and her
tinware sparkles ON the wall like dia-
monds in the darkness.
When he is sitting on a chair, she
will not permit his back to touch the
back Of it. He sits bolt upright. In a
private conversation he said: "Sir, my
wife bangs a.; she is the trigest wife ]
ever saw. In her pernickety ways |
sometimes think that she is just rather
to the rather. Yet wi a. her faults
] wad be as mad as a March hare it
onybody vas ignorant enough to apply
to her the auld saying that a clean
glove sometimes overs a dirty hand. "

Measuring Hardness.

For determining the hardness or frfa-
bility of certain substances M. Rosiwal
has described TO the Vienna academy a
new method devised by him which is
characterizedSby entire simplicity. The
measurements consist in comparing the
losses of weight sustained by the bodies
under Investigation by scratching them
with a given weight of polishing ma
terial mounted on a metallic or glass
base until the substance loses its eff
cheney, the polishing appliances com
prising dolomitic sand, emery and pure
corundnm. The diamond is assigned
its place in the scale of hardness by
comparing its effectiveness as a polish
ing agent with that CT corundun, prov
ing lao times as hard as the latter, and
to these succeed topaz, 1914; quartz, IT'S;
adularia, 59.2; apatite, so; iourspar,
81; c~alcite, So; rock salt, 80, and
tale, 0.04.-New York Sun.

"There were indeed Irish Roman Cath
olics of great ability, but they were to
be found everywhere except in Ireland.
One exile became a marshal of France,
another prime minister of Spain. In his
palace ct Madrid he had the pleasure of
being assiduously courted by the emhas-
sailors of George III and of bidding de-
fance in high terms to the ambassadors
of George III. Scattered all over Eu-
rope were brave Irish generals, dexter
0us Irish ~diplomatists, Irish counts, Irish
barons, Irish knights of st. Loris and
of st. Leopold, Of the White Eagle and
of the Golden Fleece, who, if they had
remained in the house OF bondage, could
not have been ensigns of regiments or
freemen of petty corporations"
So wrote Macaulay of the Irish of the
eighteenth century, and though better
days have conefor Ireland 1t is still true
that there are more successful Irishmen
in other lands. There are Irish governors
and high officials of British provinces
and American states.
Thomas darcy MCGEE was among the
organizing statesmen of Canada. Thorn
as Francis Meagher was governor Of
Montana and marked for higher honors
when accident. cut short his career. Ger
q Duffynwas the leading attorney of
Australia. And of the Irish soldiers,
bcholars, statesmen and writers eminent
In America the names would fill a col
