A Ready AnAWer.

When Admiral Stephen b. Luce was a
young lieutenant on the old ship Con-
stellation, he was known equally for
his capabilities as an officer and for his
FOSTERING tendencies. His readiness to
wit was also % marked quality, as is
shown by the following story, that is
favorite in the wardrooms Of the navy
to this day. The ship was at Newport,
and the lieutenant entered fully into the
social pleasures of that gay city. As he
went aboard one evening, after an aft
ernoon out, the officer of the deck no.
ticed that his step was not as steady
as it might be, and in his sternest tones
said, "Mr. Luce, you're tight, sir"
Quick as a flash came the answer, III
Stephen b. Luce, how can he be tight,
sir?" The future admiral heard no more
of the matter. Cincinnati Times-Star.

JOSEPHINE WAS MERClFUl.
She Tried to Prevent the Execution OF
the Due d'Enghien.

Mime. Bonaparte learned with intense
sorrow of the determination taken by
her husband. In the main his measures
and his convictions had been kept Sc
cret, but she contided both to Nine. DE
Remusat, and the first consul himself
had told them to Joseph. On the goth
the decree for the dukes Imprisonment
and trial was dictated by the first consul
from the Tuileries, and in the early
afternoon he returned to Malmalson,
where at 3 o'clock Joseph found him
strolling in the park, conversing with
Talleyrand, who limped along at his
side. "I'm afraid of that cripple, " was
Josephine's greeting to her brother-in-
law. Interrupt this long talk If you
can +"
The mediation of the elder brother
was kindly and skillful, and for time
the first consul seemed softened by the
memories of his own and his brother S
boyhood, among which came and went
the figure of the Prince of Condo. But
other feelings prevailed. The brothers
had differed about Lucien's marriage
and the question of descent if the con-
sular power should become hereditary.
| The old GOODNESS finally settled down
and chilled the last hopes in the tender
| hearted advocates for clemency. Tc
Josephine's fearful entreaties for mercy
her husband replied: $50 away. You're
| child. You don't understand public
duties. By 8 it was known that the
duke had arrived at Vincennes, and al
once Savary was dispatched to the city
for orders from Murat, the military
commandment. On his arrival at Murat Z
office, from which Talleyrand was IL
the very act of departing, he was in
formed that the court martial was al
ready convened, and that it would b.
his duty to guard the prisoner and exc
cute whatever sentence was passed.

MINERAL WOOL.
The Process by Which the Useful silicate
Cotton Is Produced.

The Process by Which the Useful Silicate
Cotton Is Produced.
OF those who know what mineral
wool is, or silicate cotton, as it is some
times called, probably only a small
number are familiar with the simple
process by which it is made. The wool
itself, serving variety of useful pur-
poses, as nonconducting covering
against heat and cold alike, for steam
pipes and cold storage room walls, as %
sound "deadener'' in floors of buildings
and as a means of fireproofing, among
many others, is, as its name implies,
soft and woolly substance, consisting OF
mass of very fine mineral fibers inter-
lacing one another in every direction,
and thus forming an endless number OF
minute air cells.
The wool appears Oh the market in a
variety of colors, principally white, but
often yellow or gray and occasionally
quite dark and is made by converting
scorial apd certain rocks while in
molten state into fibrous condition by
q steam blast directed against the liquid
material Blast furnace Stag forms the
raw material for one variety OF the WOOL
and sandstone for another, yielding re-
spectively Stag wool and rock wool, the
latter being preferable for pipe covering
because of the absence from 1t OF sui
| phur, which, with moisture present, be-
| comes an active corroding agent.
The furnace Stag or the rock, as the
case may be, is melted in large cupo-
la. and as it trickles out at the tap hole
in a somewhat sluggish stream it meets
high pressure steam jet which atom
ICES the woolen mineral, if it may be SO
termed, blowing it in fleecy clouds into
the storage room provided for 1t. Soft
and downy, the stuff settles wherever
resting place affords itself, the heavier
and easier wool coming down first, while
the lighter portions are blown farther
along by the force of the steam and set
tie in the more distant parts OF the
room. the material thus naturally grad
ing itself into varieties Of different
quality.
A thousand pounds of wool per houl
are turned out by one Of the cupolas
and after the storage room has BEEF
blown full the focculent mass is pushe'
into bags, ready for the market Ih
} whole process affords an admirable AM
J interesting illustration OF the utilization
of an utterly waste product. CASTER

His palny Days Are Gone.

The Juggling faliir, having been drlv-

been reduced to very common level.
One Of the class who was recognized as
having worn diamonds five years ago,
and who was known as one OF the most
skillful she'll workers in the country,
was the center of an eager group OF boys
in the rear of big store at dinner hour
Saturday. He was seedy and run down,

ing that the shell swindle is too well
known nowadays to be successfully
worked.

vigorously guessed, but they didn't pro

no deception, and the lucky boy gets

A Story of Monte Carlo.

In the good old days of M. Blanc 1t
was the custom, so the story goes, di-
rectly suicide was found to stuff his
nockets full of bank notes. This was
done to prove that his losses at play
were not the cause of his hurried de-
parture from the shores of time. The
last person who received this generous
treatment was, believe, an American.
He was found lying in one of the quiet
alleys of the beautiful grounds, with an
empty bottle labeled poison" by his
side. The secret agents OF the bold
Blanc instantly stuffed his pockets full
of gold and notes, preparatory to giving
information to the police. No sooner
had they filled him as full of lucre as
he could hold than the suicide leaped to
his feet, raised his hat, exclaimed,
"Thank you very much !" and went OF
IN enjoy himself with his newly acquired
wealth. r. Sims in "Dagonet' s

A Good Natured Emperor.

Tt was a few evenings before the en-
peror's departure for the Franco-Aus-
trian war. General de Cote was on
duty at the time, and after dinner went
down to the smoking room set apart for
the military and civil household. 1.-The

CASTOR OIL FoR JACK JARS.

y 'usands OF Gallons Sold to Captains Who
Doctor Their Crews.
Just below the Produce Exchange is a
neat looking drug store which has pc
cuIar line Of trade. The proprietor has
been IN the business almost a quarter Of
century, and if the adventurous youths
who banker TO be sailor boys only knew
how many thousand gallons of castor
oil the drugg st had doled out in his
time to ships captains the said youth
would decide to hunt adventures on land.
This drug store fits out ships with
medicines. Anybody who has had any
experience with the merchant service
knows that the captain is usually the
only M. ID. aboard. and that his knowl-
edge was never gained i'll any college of
pharmacy or medicine In the office of
the United States shipping commission
ers is filed Il record of the trip of every
ship that takes a crew from United
States ports 1t is virtually private
diary kept by the captain for the benefit
of the government. No matter what
happens, the amount and number Of the
crew and TO each individual of it are
set down, with the minutest details. 1t
| appears from these diaries that the most
popular and potent medicine known to
captains is good old fashioned castor oil.
No matter what is the trouble with
Jack, he gets castor oil. None of the
newfangled variations of it is pre-
scribed. The proprietor of the drug
store bears out this statement He says
that more castor oil is administered to
sailors than amy other medicine, unless
it may be salts and SIENNA. No captain
will sail without liberal supply of
both. Oftentimes captain has reason
to believe some of his crew are sham
ming illness, and then the castor oil is
administered in doses to bring any man
to his sober senses.
Among the medicines in the captain s
chest are rhubarb, quinine, jamaica
ginger and paregoric and certain old
fashioned patent medicines. No modern
discoveries in that line are allowable.
So this druggist keeps on hand for his
shipping patronage patent medicines

POWER OF THE JAWS.
Sie Pressure They Exert In the Mas.ica.
ton of Meat Food.

According to the investigations CT Dr..
Il. V. BiacS, the muscular strength of
the jaws compares favorably with that
Of any part of the body.
To crush piece of steak, according
to DIR. Black, bite of 40 to As pounds
is necessary-that is, if the proper ma
chine were so rugged that, by seizing
double lever between the jaws, an OBJ.
ject could be lifted from the floor, a 40
pound weight could be raised by the
steak. Repeat this effort every time Won
chew, and you get an idea of how much
exercise is required to eat ones dinner.
And what makes it harder still is that
most people habitually use much more
force than is necessary in chewing their
food. For instance, in chewing steak
whose crushing point is at 40 to 40
pounds. the persons tested by Dr. Black
used force of 60 to 80 pounds-from
10 to 40 pounds more than was neces-
sary. All this extra force of course is
worse than wasted, but probably the
generality Of manhood will keep on
wasting strength just so till more sys-
tematio method of eating is adopted.
But DR.. Black did not confine HIM
self to steak in his experiments. He
tested all kinds of meat and found that
| mutton chops may be crushed with an
| expenditure Of 20 to 40 pounds of
| strength. Broiled ham and roast beef
require the greatest amount-45 to &C
| pounds -. while pork chops may be
chewed with force of 20 to 20 pounds,
and the choicest parts of cold boiled
tongue with 3 to pounds. These OF
course are averages. Tough meat Of any
kind is still harder to erush-for in
stance, tough beef and mutton tested by
DR.. Black required in some cases {
crushing force of 80 pounds.
The smallest pressure recorded on DIR
Blacks gauge, that of little girl
years old, was 30 pounds. This was will
her front teeth, which are not used TO
the crushing processes OF mastication
With the niolars, which do the chewing
properly so called, she could exert a fore
of So pounds-quite enough to crush al
but the toughest parts of toughest meats
Several persons exceeded 100 pound
with the front teeth, or incisors, an
900 with the molars. One mana ply

Jaw that it must for the present renal
mystery, for it exceeded the testin
power of the instrument. The gauge re

How far above 210 pounds he coul

Sand as "A Filter.

1t is we'll known that the thickness OF
the layer of fine sand in filtering beds
cannot be reduced beyond a certain point
without endaugering the quality OF the
water that filters through. DIR. Kurth of
Bremen has found in examining water
filtered through layer not sufficiently
thick that the number of bacteria was
greatly increased, owing to the presence
of special microbe that could not be
found in the water before it entered the
filter. These microbes must therefore
have existed in the fiftering material
and have been developed by the passage
of water through it.-Exchange.

Philadelphia is the only city In the

the only place where it can be cooked to

cooks conceal its delicate toothsomeness
in rich dressing. There they know as
little about reedbirds as they do about

was given in this city one dinner IN
which reedbirds were served In IL dill

soup made from reedbirds, reedbirds

WAS PARADISE AT THE NORTH POlel

MANY biologists Contend That the Garden
of Eden Was In the Arctic Regions.
In an interesting and highly instruct
i've article Edward S. Martin, III the
Ladies' Home Journal, reviews the nu-
merors theories advanced by scientists
in the endeavor to solve the perplexlng
problem as to the exact location of the site
of the garden of Eden. After sitting the
theories the writer concludes that the
question is no nearer answered than IL
was 1900 years ago, and that there are
no present indications that the matter
will ever be definitely settled by any
man. To one of the latest and most in
genious theories Mr.. Martin thus re-
fers
The north pole will seem at first
thought Of the average investigator the
most unlikely site on earth for paradise
to have occupied. Nevertheless several
sober and thoughtful books and pam
phlets have been written III support OF
the north poles pretensions. The north
polo nowadays is bitter cold, but 1T has
not always been so. Biologists tell us
that the earth was excessively hot
when IT flrSt began lts course-Hiuci w
hot to admit of the presence OF any Nv
ing creatures, except, perhaps, sala-
mander AS it grew cooler vegetation
began on it, and then it began to be
peopled, first with fishes, and then with
birds and beasts, finally with man.
The first spot OH earth to get cool
enough to use was the north pole. In
the process of time it got too cold, but
there must have been long period
when the polar region was the most
comfortable part of the world. During
this period, many eminent biologists be-
lieve, there existed around the north pole
q continent now submerged and that ON
that continent our progenitors were
comfortable in their first home. 1t is
known with entire certainty that the
polar region was once warm enough for
tropical vegetation to grow there. There
was light enough also for such vegeta-
tion-abundant light, indeed, for all
uses and plenty for primeval man.
Geology tells us that man might have
lived at the north pole.
