An Old Shoe an Unsafe Safe.

An old shoe, containing six diamond
rings and brooch set with diamonds,
valued in all at S400, was given away,
with its mate, to a poorly-dressed
young man a few days ago, and now
the Germantown police are looking for
the man, the shoe, and its contents.
Mrs. Walter Leonard of Germantown
was called to the door by tramp, who
asked for pair of old shoes or some
discarded mems clothing. She told
the man to return later, when her hus-
band would be home. The visitor
called at the time set, and Mr.. Leon
ard went to one of the upper rooms
and took from one of the closets two
pairs of trousers and two pairs OF
shoes and gave them to the visitor.
About halt hour later it dawned
upon Mrs. Leonard that she had placed
a portion of her jewely in an old shoe
belonging to her husband, and she
went upstairs to ascertain if he had
given the shoe away. She looked in
the closet and found the shoe had dis.
sappeared. Her husband started in
pursuit OF the man, but was unable to
find him. The jewelry had long been
in the possession of the family. The
Leonards are said to have had some
experience with burglars, and had
adopted this plan of checkmating
them. Philadelphia Ledger.

Hereward, the Wake,

There certainly was such a person
as Hereward, the hero of Charles
Kingsley's novel, "Hereward, the
Wake, though perhaps Kingsley de-
picted him too romantically. OF his
parentage and early life no record ex-
lists, but he is known to have owned
estates in Lincolnshire and Warwick
shire. One story says that he was in
Flanders at the time or the Conquest
and returned to aid his mother, who
had been deprived of her estate by a
foreigner. He drove out the intruder
and took the field against William.
Kingsley has followed the general
story of Hereward's fight and his
great defense of Ely. He held that
island--as 1t was then-for q year
against Williams best efforts. When
it fell, he managed to escape, married
a wealthy Englishwoman, made peace
with William, and was finally muir
dered in his own house by band OF
Normans. Mr.. Freeman says that the
manner of Hereward's death is un-
known. Kingsley has taken novelist's s
license and disposed of his hero as
seemed to him best. New York Dis.

Substitutes for Tea,

Should a tea famine at any time be-
come disagreeable fact it is well to
know that there are substitutes that
may satisfy the craving of the tea
fiend. These are of two sorts: Those
which contain theme, and which con-
sequently have the same stimulating
effect, and those which are destitute
of that principle, only resembling the
true tea in flavor and smell, but which
possess some other mild intoxicant
OF the former class the mate and gu
arana of South America are particular
ly rich in theme.
The Gauchas of Argentina find mate
tea great incentive to endurance, and
accomplish their long and arduous
rides with little other support. The
fat Spanish peasants in the country
around the River Plate are rarely seen
at leisure without the "bombezia," be-
tween their lips. This is a metal tube
with perforated, spoon-like end,
through which they suck the infusion
of mate from cups made OF dried and
hollow gourds.
Coffee leaves are occasionally pre-
pared as n substitute for tea in the
West Indies. The Kola nut of Africa,
the active principle of which is theme
according to DIR. Daniel, the eminent
author of "The Kola Nut of Tropical
West Africa, prepared as tea, sis
specially intended to act in warding
off the predisposition to epidemic out
breaks of suicidal mania, which not
unfrequently occur in certain consid.
erable districts. Mail and Express.

For every degree of temperature of
the air there is maximum limit OF
water vapor to the cubic inch which
the air is capable of bearing. SO, too,
for any given quantity of vapor per
cubic inch, there is temperature at
which the air will hold exactly so
much. This is the so-called point OF
saturation. Reduce the temperature
below that point, and the vapor be'
gins to condense, and assume the form
of dew, fog, mist, vapor or rain.
Snakes have their usefulness in the

some species have spread into cooler

there are no snakes. Contrary to the
popular belief, there are some snakes
