An amusing incident connected with
Handel, the composer, is told by Doctor
Miller. lie says: During the latter part
of Handel's life, when boy, used to
perform on n German flute In London
ut his oratorios.
About the year 1903, in the Lenten
season, n minor canon from the cathe.
dral of Gloucester offered his services
to Handel to sing. His offer was ac.
ceptcd, and he was employed In the
chOruses.
Not satisfied with this department,
he requested leave to sing u solo, that
his voice might appear to more advant-
age. This redHseSt also was granted;
but he executed his solo SO little to the
satisfaction of the audience that, to
his great modification, he was violent
ly Kissed.
When the performance was over,
Handel said to him, gravely:
II am sorry, very sorry for you, In
deed, my dear sir; but go back to your
church in de country. God will fOrgii
you for your bad singing; desc wicked
peoples In London, dey will not forgil

"Up to the Scratch"

Is this expression derived from the
old idea that u witch was deprived Of
her power by person drawing her
blood by scratching her? In tho trial
Of Richard Hathaway, as a cheat and
impostOr, ut Surrey Assizes. March "a,
1908, It was alleged against him that
he did, In the presence and hearing Of
divers persons, falsely. devilishly, and
knowingly, and rs false impostor, pre-.
tend and affirm that he was bewitchcd
by Sarah Morduck, and that Ivy reason
thereof he could not cut, but had tasted
ten weeks successfully; and pretended
also that he was affected with divers
diseases, and that by drawing blood
from the said Sarah by scratching he
should DO freed from his said pretended
bewltching; and that the defendant did
therrupon scratch the said Sarah and
draw blood from her; and thereupOn
falsely affirm that by drawing the said
blood he was freed from the sud dis.
eases; whereas, In truth and fact, he
never was bewttched, nor had tasted
as aforesaid, and knew himself not to
be bewitchcd by the said Sarah.
FOrby, "VOcabulary OF East Anglia"

Changes Ia the dra.2 TRADE.

Wheat in the Chicago market fell from
On average Of Silly bushel in 1899
to 40 cents in January, 1895. This was
of course largely due to the opening Of
the great wheatfelds in the northwest.
in The North American Review Mr..
Enertnn R Williams calls attention to
fhe TACT that however much wheat is
consumed at home it is the price in for
eign markets that inevitably decides the
price at home. "The surplus of export
ing countries must always determine
home values" England, the greatest
consumer, fixes the price of American
wheat and cotton and even Of American
railway stocks. That is because she has
SO much ready money. The ocean tele-
graph brought nearer together the i'm
porters of breadstuffs and their export
ers. This had the effect to let all the
world know where there was scarcity
and where glut Of wheat. One result
was that the time honored custom of
selling and buying grain and flour
through commission merchants is now
almost obsolete
sin the latter part of the sixties'' a
system was quietly inaugurated which
reyolutionized the whole system of buy
ing and selling grain. That was dealing
in "futures''-buying and selling grain
not in hand for future delivery. This
used to be thought very wicked indeed.
1t is now recognized as a perfectly hon.
est and legitimate transaction and has
become the steady practice. Only for it,
Mr.. Williams declares that the disas-
trous effects Of the crash of 1898 would
have been much greater.

Soap Bubbles,

N. Izarn has communicated to the
Academy Of Sciences q new method for
obtaining soap bubbles lasting a much
longer time than those obtained from
the soap water generally used. He has
recourse to a resinous soap made by the
following formula: Pulverize together
10 grams Of pure rosin and 10 parts
OF carbonate of potash; add 100 parts of
water and boil until complete solution.
We obtain in this way thick solution
which may be kept in stock to be diluted
for use with from four to five times it's
volume Of water. It can be kept indef-
nitely even when exposed to the air. The
bubbles produced are very persistent and
consequently can be made useful in the
study Of phenomena relating to thin
lamin@ and in making photographs in
which soap bubbles play a part.
