How Fast the Earth Moves.

Everybody knows that the earth makes
one complete revolution on its axis once
in each "a hours. But few, however,
have any idea of the high rate of speed
at which such al immense ball must
turn i'll order to accomplish the feat OF
making one revolution in day and a
night A graphic idea of the terrific
pace which the old earth keeps up year
after year may be had by comparing its
speed to that of a cannon ball fired from
a modern high pressure gun. The high
est velocity ever attained by such mis-
sile has been estimated at 626 feet per
second, which is equal to mile in
8 2-10 seconds. The earth, i'll making
one complete revolution in the short
space Of "a hours, must turn with "A
velocity almost exactly equal TO that OF
the cannon ball In short, its rate of
speed at the equator is exactly 1907
feet per second. This is equal to mile
every 8 Clio seconds, IL miles min

why Everybody smiled.

An amusing scene was witnessed by
many pedestrians one day at the corner
Of Thirty seventh street and Broadway.
A fence, about 80 feet high, covered
with theatrical Autographs, incloses a
lot ON that corner, where the founda-
tions of new building are being laid.
1t was the noon hour, and six brawny
sons of Erin were seated on a slightly
raised platform, resting against the
fence. They were eating their luncheon
and were joking and laughing to their
hearts content. Those who stopped TO
look at the group could not withhold a
smile, for directly above this jolly group
of Irishmen, in bold, lurid letters,
were the words 1.-THE Gay Parisians. =
Here indeed was pleasant satire, the
result Of accident. No wonder the work
ingmen wondered why people smiled at
them so much. New York Herald

A DOC THAT REASONED.
He Knew when It Was safe 20 Sleep ON
His Masters Bed.

His Masters Bed.
No one that knew Bombshell ever
doubted that he reasoned and thought,
but occasionally / would find a stranger
who was not inclined to believe it. and
then / would tell him the following
story: Ny parlor was a front casemate
which opened by an arch into my bed
room, a back casemate. A casemate
may be described as a room in the wall
of fort, generally intended, in war
time, to hold gun or powder, while in
time Of peace many Of them, like mine,
are fitted up for use as quarters for Off
GERS and soldiers.
Bombshell had his own bed in the
back easement, but he preferred my bed
and would use it whenever he could. /
had tried 10 break him Of the habit, but
had not been successful
One day he came in wet and muddy,
and, as usual, eurled up on my white
Counterpart. The result was awful. As
much as hated to do SO, l felt obliged
to give him a thrashing.
/ never caught him on my bed again.
He would still get ON it; but. no mat
ter how quietly / came in, would al
ways find him ON the floor, though !
could see from the rumpled condition Of
the bed that he had been on it, and Of
ten the spot where he had slept would
still be warm.
One evening l went out, leaving
Bombshell lying by the parlor stove.
Ont of curiosity peeked through the
half turned Stats of my shutters and
watched him. From my position was
able 10 see the whole of both Of my
rooms.
For awhile Bombshell did not move (;
then he raised his head and looked at
the door; finally he got up, stretched
himself, yawned sleepily, walked to the
bed, jumped up. and pat his fore paws
ON it. Standing in this position, a
thought struck him, and he said to him
self:
Suppose that my master hasn't gone?
He will catch me and then / shall get a
licking. I'll go and make certain that
he is not coming back.
l know that he said this because he
took his paws off the bed, walked eau
tiously back TO the front door, and, with
his ear close to the crack, he listened.
At last, satisfied that had really gone.
he trotted back to the bed, jumped on
it. curled up and went to sleep.
After such clever act thought that
he had earned his sleep, so | went away
and left him. st. Nicholas.

What a Kurd Is Like.

In color they are usually no darker,
and often not nearly so dark, as south
ern Europeans The eyebrows and lash
es and eyes are generally black, and
nose aquiline and fine, and the mouth
we'll formed The face is long and oval,
while in stature a medium height seems
to be general The chin is shaved, the
mustache alone being left, and over it
no end of trouble is taken with comb
and wax. The hair is usually shaved
along the top of the crown, but left
long ON either side, though little or
nothing of it is visible, owing to the pc
culiar and characteristic manner in
which the men deck their heads The
Kurd's costume is distinctly his own,
and except in the south, where he has
come more or less under Persian infiu-
ence, he never abandons it. A high silk
pointed cap crowns the head, round
which is woven "A number of silk scarfs
and handkerchiefs in skillfully arranged
disorder
The favorite colors for these turbans
are dark claret and gold, with here and
there narrow stripe Of some brilliant
hue. The rough fringes are left hanging
down, as often as not covering the eyes
and ears of the wearer and adding not
little to his fantastic appearance. Over
a white linen shirt, with sleeves that
end in points more than yard long, so
that they touch the ground, silk coat
is worn, crushed strawberry being the
favorite color, though cherry color and
white satin are almost equally com
mon. These coats are made collarless
and open at the neck and fold across the
breast, being held in place by wide
silk sash skillfully folded and inter-
twined. In this sash the long pipe and
curved dagger are thrust.-Blackwood's
