It is said that the Arabs have two
methods of estimating what will be
the height of horses. By the first a
cord is stretched from the nostril
over the ears and down along the
neck this distance is compared with
that from the withers to the feet; the
colt will grow as much taller as the
first distance exceeds the second. By
the other method the distance between
the knee and the withers is compared
with that from the knee to the coro-
of two to one, the horse will grow no
taller.

Among the many useless inventions
thrust upon the world by the people
who like to do useless things was a
clock once exhibited in Brussels. The
peculiar thing about this clock was
that instead of striking the hours with
bell, it fired a pistol every hour.
''It's ingenious," said a visitor to
the exhibition but of what use is it?
Why fire pistol?"
''To kill time" said the inventor.

Stoves are thought to have been
used by the Romans. They were of
brick, closely resembling the Dutch
earthen ware stoves, which give forth
heat, but conceal the fire. Antiquari-
ans say that Roman rooms were
sometimes heated by building a fire
in the middle of the room. Modern
stoves were patented in 1921, and
since that date over one thousand
patents have been taken out on differ
ent varieties of stoves and ranges in
America, and an almost equal number
have been issued in Great Britain.

At children's party not long ago
simple but amusing game was played
which may be new to some of you.
Each player was blindfolded in turn,
but before the handkerchief was tied
over his eyes he was told to look
around the room and notice the OBJ
jects in it and how they were placed.

After being bIindfolded he turned
around three times, and then said

Buttons are of more importance in
the history Of to- day than most peo-
pie think. If workmen come across
the bones of dead soldier on the
battle field of Gettysburg, it is the
buttons they find which show whether
the soldier was a Union man or
Confederate. In England, if family
employs boy with bright brass but
tons on his jacket to answer their
door bell, they must pay tax to the
state for those buttons. They are en-
blems Of distinction to the family.
Buttons are symbols of law on police
mans coat. They are an indication
of nations art on a fine lady's gown;
and, in general, they are condensed
history of a country's mechanical in
genuity.- Young Peoples Magazine.

Quite novel suggestion in the way
of bill collecting was made the other
day through the mistake of man
mailing two letters in this city. He
had had considerable difficulty in per-
suading young woman that his goods
had not been sold to her for the mere
pleasure of selling, and finally she had
dismissed his messenger with the
statement that she did not want to
hear from him again. Nothing was
left for the merchant to do but to re-
sort to the United States mails. He
accordingly sat down and wrote to the
young woman letter which was char
acterized rather by terseness and
vigor than by any terms of affection.
Fortunately or unfortunately for him,
he had social acquaintance with an
other young lady in the same house,
and while he had his pen he thought
he would write to her, too, a personal
letter. When he came to direct his
envelopes, though, he sent the dun
ming letter to his personal friend and
his personal letter to his debtor. 1t is
needless to say that the mistake was
corrected within a few momen is after
the receipt of the letters, but the
debtors chagrin a. the revelation of
her position was SO great that she
paid her bill immediately Washing

Let US see what richness Of stellar
distribution is implied by this number
of 100, 900, 900 of visible stars. 1t may
be easily shown that the area of the
whole sky in both hemispheres is Al,
255 square degrees. This gives 2, 424
stars to the square degree. The
moons apparent diameter being
slightly over half degree-31 min
utes secondS-the area Of it's disk is
about one fifth of q square degree.
The area of the whole star sphere is
consequently about 200, 1000 times the
area of the full moon. A total of 100,
100000 of stars gives, therefore, 500
stars to each space Of sky equal in
area to the full moon.
This seems a large number, but
stars scattered even as thickly as this
would appear at a considerable dis
lance apart when viewed with a
telescope of a high power. AS the
area of the moons disk contains
about 760 square minutes of an arc,
there would not be an average of
even one star to each square minute.
A pair Of stars half a minute or 80
seconds apart would form a very wide
double star, and with stars placed at
even this distance the moons disk
would cover about 5000, or six times
the actual number visible in the largest

that he answered to that descrip

"Certainly," replied Mr.. Walker !;
'Ethat's what Pm here for. You keep
a grocery or saloon on Milwaukee

lithographs?''
"Not at ALL" said the stranger. I've
got something better than that. 1t

"But this cat hasn't any tail!'
II don't care if she has two tails or
none. We've no use for cat at all.
It's absurd"
"And yet you are giving The

Jacks master was painter and
Jack, being lively little fellow, on
two or three occasions tipped over a
pail of paint in the course of his gam
bols. Whenever this happend, his
master called him up, gave him
lecture, and by way of impressing the
matter on his mind rubbed his nose
in the paint, much to Jacks discom-
fort. One day, however, Jack was
playing about the paint-shop all alone.
Suddenly he ran against paint pail,
and over it went. He looked sadly
around for moment; and when he
saw that his master was not there to
inflict the usual punishment, he walk
ed slowly up to the paint, plunged
his nose into the hateful mess, and
