TOO MUCH DIFFERENCE.

"It is not always pleasant to be
treated with too much deference,'
remarked woman who was growing
old and did not like it. "a young
person, who evidently meant to be
civil, got up and offered me her place
in a street car the other day, and
was so vexed I could have boxed hei
ears; I fiatter myself 1 am quite as
able to stand as she was"
'"What makes me perfectly furious, J.
said her companion, girl of society,
who was not so young as she once was
sis to have these chits of debutantes to
show me such vast amount of re.
spect. I believe the horrid little
things do it on purpose. They rise
when they speak to me, and the ot:er
day, at Miss KS reception, some Of
my sisters friends drew back to give
me precedence, and actually courtesied
when I spoke to them !"
In fact, very few persons find accept
able the consideration shown to them
on account of superior old age, and
young people are advised to show
more tact in the treatment Of their
elders.
II find Miss C. so extremely we'll
mannered," commented matron who
by no means considered herself passe.
"She actually has the good breeding to
treat me with friendly equality, and
does not jump to pick up my hand
kerchief or give me chair, and make
me feel generally as if I were separated
from her by a chasm of years, as most
of her set do. For my part, I think
too much Difference from a younger
woman to an older one very bad

AN UNPROFITABLE SCHEME.-A good
story is told by the Hartford Post Of
a well-known landlord who has been
having any amount of trouble during
the hard times to collect rents from
his tenants. There was a certain man
with large family, who had occupied
q part of one of his houses in the su-
burbs for a number of years. The
man was thoroughly honest, but down
on his luck. The landlord bore the
loss of his rent with considerable forti-
tude until he thought it was some one
else's turn to help the fellow little.
He went to him one day and told him,
with all seriousness, that he was in
tending to give the house going over
it was out'of repair, and he decided
to expend a little money on it and
make some important alterations, and,
as it would be some expense for the
man to move, he generously offered
to order team for him and settle the
bill himself.
The matter was arranged with the
utmost friendliness on both sides, and
the landlord went his way, feeling
quite little like the celebrated Phari-
see. A week later he asked his agent
about flats that had been empty for
month or two. GAIL rented" said the
agent, and he named the parties,
whereupon the landlord Immediately
descended to the plane of publicans
and sinners. When he had recovered
himself sufficiently to talk English,
be proceeded to inform the astonished
agent that one of his acquisitions was
the mani he had just moved at his own
expense out of the house in the
suburbs.

THE MooN.-The height of noun
tains on the moon is measured by the
length of the shadows they cast upon
the plains.
If you were on the moon, the earth
would appear to be 64 times larger
than the sun does to residents of this
planet.
The moon is believed to be the only
member of the planetary system which
is wholly devoid of the least trace of
an atmosphere.
1t is estimated that the light of
full moon is at least 100000 times
weaker than sunlight when the "great
orb of day" is standing at meridian.
Our moon weighs one-eighth as
much as the earth. No other satellite
in the solar system exceeds the one
thousandth Q-1000 of the weight of its
planet.
The 1886 "craters" which have
been discovered on the moon, and
which have long been supposed to be
the extinct volcanic fues, are now be-
lieved to have been caused by a bonn
bardment of 8rolites.
The month of February, 1856, was
known among the lovers of the curious
in nature as the "moonless" month,
from the fact of it having no full moon.
This cannot possibly occur more fire.
quently than once each y! years, or
eight times in century.
The moon is not so small as some
people have imagined. A recent as
Economical calculation attributes to its
surface an area fully as great as that
of Africa and Australia combined.
The most powerful telescope now in
use magnifes 1000 diameters. AS the
moon is 24O,O0C miles from the earth,
it is thus, to all intents and purposes,
brought to within 120 miles of the
world.

THE WORST OF PLANTS.
It's Juice Causes a Disease that Softens the

It's Juice Causes a Disease that Softens the
Bone.
Captain Casson, of the British bark
Cupica. while at Astoria, while on his
way out to sea from Portland, gave a
reporter some interesting facts in re-
gard to the gagus plant and the terri
BILE effect it has on the natives of the
Gauptil island, where it grows. Cap
tain Casson is an authority on matters
pertaining to the South Sea islands.
In speaking of the gagus plant, Captain
Casson said:
'It is species of cactus, and as 1
said, grows only, to my knowledge, on
the Gauptil island. The island is
small one, but is we'll populated by ma
tives of the Malay race. In the inte-
rior this plant grows wild, flourishing
especially in the red, rocky soil. 1t
looks beautiful when growing, as you
may Judge by the bright hues with
which it is spotted. Opium is a po-
tent drug; but I am certain that the
extract from the gagus plant is calcu-
lated to do more damage to the human
system. The natives cut the plant in
the early spring. After they have
gathered a sufficient quantity, they
put it in large bowls and crush it with
huge stones.
"a grayish sap runs out freely, and
this they collect and drink, after let
ting it ferment, which it does easily.
Within half an hour after imbibing it.,
the drinker becomes perfectly stupid,
and lies around like a log. The spell
lasts a day or more, during which
time the natives say they live in par
adise. I have known sailors to try it !;
but never twice. Three years ago I
had man in my crew who was driven
crazy by one drink. The first effect
of the liquor is to soften the bones and
gradually eat them away. There are
natives there, the victims of gagus,
who are indeed boneless and unable to
walk or use their limbs. Then they
begin to wither away, until they die
in misery and convulsions. Usually
TWO years will finish the hardest man.
The sufferings of the slaves to the
drink are terrible. San Francisco
News.

a@ That steam power is still, and
will continue to be, for an indefinite
period, the greatest artificial force, and
consequently the greatest competitor
of human labor, is argned by an En-
glish writer, from the standpoint that,
as estimated in Eng gland, horse costs
10 times as much as steam power, aud
human labor 80 times as much. From
this necessarily follows, he says, the
constant tendency to make machinery
a substitute for laborers thus 10 years
ago, the worlds steam power was in
creasing, as estimated, at the rate of
10000 horse power weekly. According
to reliable data, in fact, the worlds
steam power in 1885 was five and one
half times what it was in 1850, and 1t
nearly doubled from 1870 to 1895, an
increase of powerin in steam that enabled
five men in 1895 to perform as much
work as eight could in 1850, or, in
a word, 40 percent. of labor was saved,
or 10 out of 100 laborers could be dis
charged and yet the same amount pro-
produced. In England there is the
largest amount Of steam power accord
ing to population, and in the United
States the largest amount absolutely.

POPULAR PHRASES,

"Washing dirty linen in public" is
probably an old proverbial saying. 1t
was made famous by Napoleon, who
used it in a speech to the chamber of
deputies in 1914, to intimate that diff
ferences between the parties in France
should not become a matter of public
scandal.
II am my own ancestor" was an ex-
preston used by Napoleon's famous
marshal, Junot. After he had been
created Due d'Abrantes, he was asked
by one of the old nobility who were his
ancestors, the question eliciting this
naive but forcible retort.
To "dance attendance" is an express
sion borrowed from the medieval GUS
tom which compelled the bride at a
wedding to dance with whomsoever
asked her. No matter how long the
condition or how Objectionable the
person, the bride could not refuse.
"Crocodile tears" are alluded to by
several Latin and Greek authors, it
being a superstition among the ancients
that the crocodile, after killing man,
ate all his body but his head, and shed
tears over that before eating it also.
SIN the same boat" an expression
often given by English authorities as
an Americanism, really dates back to
the first Christian century, when it
was used by Clement I, bishop of
Rome, about the year 100, in a letter
to the church of Corinth.
