Origin of "Dlue B,oofi "

The origin of the term blue blood"
is most suggestive. After the black
Moors We're driven out of Spain the
aristocracy of Spain was held to con-
sist of those who traced their lineage
back to the time before the Moorish
conquest. These people were whittier
than those who had been mixed with
Moorish blood. The veins upon their
white hands were blue, while the blood
of the masses, contaminated by the
Moorish infusion, showed black upon
their hands and faces. So the white
Spaniards of the old race came to de-
clare that their blood was "blue,"
while that of the common people was
black. The phrase passed to France,
where 1t had no such significance, and
was, in fact, quite arbitrary, and thence
1t came to England and America.

potato culture. Elsewhere on the farm,
these factors being added, the record
breaking yield of $50 bushels to the
acre has been reached. 1t should be
added that the potatoes are of uni
formly marketable quality, with no
waste. The average yield in this
State this year is estimated at not
more than sixty-fve bushels to the
acre, and the largest average yield the
State has ever known was 120 bushels.
The prevention of blight and subse-
quent rot by spraying with Bordeaux
mixture is an idea which is already
being taken up by farmers. The
usual method of using it, however, is
to wait until the blight appears, and
then spray. 1t is then too late. At the
university the potatoes are repeatedly
sprayed while green and healthy, and
the blight never appears. The report
OF this amazing crop at Cornell, to-
gether with the generally poor crop in
the State, has led to u great demand

The Gulf Pearl Fisheries.

The value of the pearl industry last
year on the coast of the Gulf of Lower
California amounted to $3.50, 600; this,
says the New York Sun, besides the
expectation of some 5000 tons of mus
sci shells, the value of which was esti-
mated at 81, 250,0OO The pearl fish
ing, with appurtenances, forms the en-
tire occupation Of the native popula-
ton, and La Paz, which is the capital
for this trade in the peninsula, exists
exclusively upon this industry. Until
a few years ago only native divers
were employed, and the greatest,depth
to which they would dive was thirty
five feet. But upon the Introduction
of the diving apparatus a depth of $50
feet was accomplished, and, while
formerly the best divers could not re-
main longer than two minutes under
water, diver thinks nothing of stay
ing two hours at depth of 100 feet,
although at still greater depth the
stay is necessarily shortened.

What Children Fear.

President G. Stanley Hall of Clark
University has been collecting facts
concerning the fears of children. The
fears of children, he says, are gener
ally created by parents and servants
He found that 1,701 children had g.,
456 fears, the leading ones being the
fear of lightning and thunder reptiles
strangers, the dark, death, domestic
animals, disease, wild animals, water
ghosts, insects, rats and mice, robbers,
high winds, etc.
A few of these fears are rational. In
New Jersey no children were found to
be afraid of high winds, but in the
West that fear naturally leads all 9th
ers. At Trenton, however, sixty-twC
children were found who dreaded the
end of the world, fear created entire
ly by adult teaching. His tabulation
shows what education can do in this
respect.
No child was found to be afraid of
the devil. Two hundred years ago and
less that fear would have led all the
rest. Few were found who were
afraid of ghosts, fear that would
have stood high on the list not long
ago. The fear of robbers and of wild
animals Is a survival, though robbers
have not disappeared as completely as
the wild animals.
Forty-siX New Jersey children were
afraid of being burned alive, mon.
strous thing to inculcate in the child
mind Fear will always be one of the
strongest influences In human life, but
at least it Is possible by teaching what
real danger consists of to eradicate

Captain Since has discovered q
method of gathering the scent of flow
ers as the plant is growing. He takes
glass funnel and heats the thin end
over spirit lamp. He then draws
out the stem to fine point. This ac-
complished, the funnel is filled with
ice and placed on retort stand, the
pointed end being placed in small
glass bottle, without touching it. After
this the stand and the funnel are placed
in greenhouse among the flowers
whose odors it is desired to collect.
Gradually the vapor rises from the
flowers, and, in meeting the colder
surface of the funnel, condenses into
drops on the outside of the glass.
From the point of condensation it
trickles down until it drops into the
bottle. In surprisingly short time
a large amount of perfume is collected,
and it is claimed that ninety per cent.
of the contents of the bottle is per.
fume; the rest is water. Strange to
say, this essence of the flower needs
to be adulterated with spirits of wine.
Otherwise it would become sour and
useless.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Teeth Affect Eycsight.

When a boy, eleven years old, re-
tired a few nights since his eyes were
as usual. In the morning the pupils
were dilated, fixed, not influenced by
light. He could not distinguish light
from darkness. No cause for the con-
dition could be found until the teeth
were examined, when it was seen that
they were crowded and wedged
together. Two permanent and four
temporary teeth were extracted. The
same night he could distinguish light
from darkness, the next day objects,
and in few days his eyes were in q
normal condition. He had no other
treatment.
