How the King Used the Hair Dye.

An amusing story is told of the king
and queen of Italy, which shows that
there is keen sense of humor in
King Humbert. His hair turned
quite white rapidly, and this state of
affairs greatly troubled his beautiful
consort, and without mentioning the
subject to the king, MS gentle hint
she caused bottle of dye to be placed
upon his dressing table The next
morning the king appeared at the
breakfast table carrying favorite
poodle, which, although formerly
white, was rs black as ebony, whereas
the kings hair preserved its accus-
toned hue.

The Eve of All HallOWs.

The 31st day of October is All Hal
Ioween, on which night, SO the Scotch
superstition says, lmps and fairies,
witches, sprites,, and even Belzebub
himself, hold sway over the matters Of
earth.
"Who is to marry whom?" is the
great question that is TO be settled on
Halloween, and itprobably originated
in the good-natured sallies of the
Scottish "Jeans" and "Sandies' who
gathered on this night of the harvest
festival to bob for apples or crack the
newly gathered nuts. The means
used in different countries in old times
to answer this great question are
quaint and curious In book Of
folklore, very old one, is found the
following:
eff maid would know ye name of
We man she is to marry, let her on ALI
Halloween steal out to lime-k kiln and
throw therein clue of blue yarn, still
holding to ye other end. Pre-
sently ye end in ye kiln will be sharp
ly pulled. Then ye maid must say
who holds?' Whereupon ye voice of
her future husband will pronounce his
name-both Christian and ye sur
name"
Water, nuts and apples bear n prom
inent part in these superstitions. BY
placing silver of wood in glass OF
water at your bedside before retiring
You are certain of dreaming that you
will fall from bridge into river and
your future intended" will rescue
YOU. This charm is alluded TO by the
English poet, Gay:
Last Halloween longed my love to see,
And tried a spell TO call her up TO me.
With wood and water standing by my side
dreamed q dream and saw my own sweet
bride.
But Notwithstanding the witchery
and weirdness of the night, Halloween
is conceded to be time when all mis-
understandings should be explained
away, and common remark was
"They'll max it a up on Halloween.
1t is, indeed, night of good fell
lowship and peace, and acquaintance
ships begun that night ought to ripper
into life friendships.

A Gray Rabbits Nest.

just na small boats always keep near
shore, the. e.short-legged rabbit is never
found far from hiding place of some
sort Nature gave the gray rabbit a
coat with color that is q very great
protection to him; and when he furls
his ears and lies close to the ground,
one can sometimes actually step over
him without seeing that he is there.
The ways of this little creature have
surprised me many times; but he never
actually paralyzed me with astonish-
ment until one fine spring day when
the mowers in the Smithsonian grounds
were cutting the grass on the lawn, not
over hundred feet from the National
Museum building. And there, on a
bit of ground utterly without shrubs,
bushes, or even flowers, covered with
nothing but lawn grass, at that time
only four inches in height, with n
busy roadway and walk circling round
on three sides. with the Office of the

filled the nest as full as it would hold.

A Question Making Much Noise.

A discussion is raging in Erie over
a question propounded by n school
to her class: "If tree located in a
forest should fall, and no one should
see it, would it make n noise?" The
question has created much discussion
among the pupils to whom it was pre-
sented, and it has spread into older
and wider circles. The debate turns
upon the theory that sound exists
only in the ear, and that there can be
no sound where there is no ear to re-
ceive and respond to the atmospheric
waves. Oil City penn. Blizzard.

A Link Extinguisher.

On the first block from Fifth avenue
on West Thirty ninth street an elegant
balustrade of hammered iron work
had just been put in place on a flight
of brownstone steps leading up to
handsome house. The balustrade is
one new in the process of "restora-
ton" which the residence has under
gone, and is of excellcntly carried out
colonial design. One rail ends in
plain newell post, but the other is car
ried up and finished high in the air in
the shape of huge extinguisher, an
exaggerated form of the little conical
night caps which people used to pop
over their candles just before they pop
ped into their four-post beds. The
folks who live and who pass the
block look curiously Mt the great ex-
tinguisher, and one old gentleman
who knew what it meant soon had nm
interested little crowd around him.
"Those extinguishers," said the old
gentleman, fused to be quite COM
mon ornament on the iron ratings of
fashionable houses in New York long
ngo, but never remember them being
used for anything except as orna-
ments. They are called link extin-
guishers, and were used originally for
putting out the links or torches which
were carried by the waiting men at
night before gentleman walking
through the streets, or in front of
sedan chair in which some fine lady
sat. But that was before our streets
were lit at all, or lit so badly with
few oil lamps that one could not see
hands breath ahead on dark night,
and when the streets were series of
mud holes after good heavy shower.
When the gentleman or lady arrived
Mt the house the servants pushed their
links up into one of these extinguish-
ers and put them out, Yerv, nsnffpl
~~v ,o,y uIrty, L should think. I've
no doubt they were in use here in
colonial New York, and remember
seeing some of them still standing in
front of the old houses on the east
side when 1 was boy. The gentle
man who owns this house has evident
ly put up the big old extingusher as
an ornament that shall be in keeping
with the other colonial revivals of his
house, but must say it seems curious
to see it here, with an electric light
opposite and with an electric button

Fewer Locomotives Built.

One hourisning American industry
which the pressure of hard times has
deeply injured. is locomotive building.
There are five cities i'll the United
States in which locomotive building is
carrie on so extensively as to be an
important local industry. These are
Philadelphia, Paterson. Schenectady,
Pittsburg and Troy. In each of these
cities there is at least one large loco
motive works, the total number in the
United State being thirteen. In 1898,
which was a good year in the business
on account of the extra traffic caused
by the Worlds Fair, 2,011 locomo-
tives were built in the United States.
In 1894 the total number fell to 695,
of which eighty-three were built for
use in other countries Three big
concerns filled no orders whatever in
1894. In 1890 the total number
built was $500; in 1891, 2,165; in
1892, 2,0l2.
The railroad companies of the.
United States have now greatly dim
inished volume of business, and some
of the large systems are sailing SO
close to the stinancial wind that they
are buying no new equipment. With
q practical cessation of railroad build.
ing has come tho decrease in the
orders for locomotives, though the
foreign trade keeps up fairly well, the
! United States exporting locomotives
to several of the South and Central
American countries. New York Sun.

Caterpillars by the Ton.

Thirty-six tons of caterpillars and a
large number of cocoons were de.
stroyed in the effort to drive the pest
from the young plantations of trees
on Hong Kong Island. They appeared
on the pine trees with which the gov
ernment is trying to reafforest the isl
and. and lasted for two months. Sta.
tions were established where the cater
pillars were received and paid for by
weight. This method seems to have
been successful. 1t is estimated that
35, 900, 900 insects were killed. Lon.

How Ants Put Up Preserves.

NO matter how orderly and syste-
matte the housekeeper, when pre-
serves are to be made great excite
ment prevails in the kitchen. There
is securing of brass kettles, wash.
ing of bowles, and all hands are set to
work peeling the fruit. or taking out
the stones-if it has stones o
quill, weighing, and stirring, and
skimming the pot, and finally dipping
the steaming luscious fruit out tender
Iy. placing it in the jar, labelling these,
and carrying them into dark cup
board.
Ts.e tiny, insignificant ant, to whom
Solomon referred lis to learn wisdom,
makes no such ado over her winter
stores.
She is very much cleverer than q
human being, for she simply walks
quietly into the granary, touches the
great heaps of seeds and grains, that
the diligent workers have put away,
with their quivering antennae, and
the deed is accomplished. What this
queer little creature has done is this:
she has put drop of formic acid, as
it is called, upon each of the grains,
which arrests the process of germina-
ton, and consequently the food in
these underground pantries may keep
for years without sprouting. 1t is the
same substance which the busy little
bee introduces into its honey, drop
ping tiny bit of this poison into the
honeycomb from the end of its sting.
The famous naturalist Moggridge
repeatedly observed that when the
ants were prevented from reaching
their grannaries the seeds began to
sprout, and that this also happened
when they abandoned their nests. 1t
was inferred that these insects pos
sessed the means of suspending the
action without destroying the vitality
of the srui,r, and fha prinni,.I- -"
hidden in the sand; and now it has
been proved that this strange power
lies in the formic acid just mentioned.
A German scien ist went SO far as to
suggest in 1877 the use ef it for pre-
serving fruit for human households.
One naturalist relates that kind OF
Indian ant collects large stores OF
grass and seeds, and after q severe
storm brings out the entire stock
within the grannaries to dry it for it
seems the excessive moisture destroys
the preservative power of this acid.
Another tribe of ants which lays up
immense quantities of wheat and oats,
is SO small that eight OF. ten individu-
ais are required to carry q single
grain. They move in separate rows,
over rough and smooth ground, up
and down steps. often travelling hun
dreds of yards to place their booty in
the common storehouse, where it Is
preserved according to the means de-
scribed. .-Atlanta Constitution.
