nMNl'nule" md Only Aunt ~

An ingenious French writer has
been explaining to curious world
why the rawnbrokinS establishments
are called ''my aunt" Ma tantey. The
Prince lie Joinville, son of Louis
Philippe, was kept very short Of
money in his youth. One day the
father noticed that the prince was not
wearing splendid gold watch that
had been given to him by his mother.
"Where is your watch?' asked the
bourgeois king. cat my aunt's,"
was the reply. Princess Adelaide was
Intercepted on the subject, but she
knew nothing about it. Then the
young scapegrace admitted that he
hal pawned it. "My aunt there
fore, became proverbial for the Monte
de-Piete. But then, it may be asked,
how it comes about that the pawn
broker in England is facetiously
spoken of as "uncle." The French
writer is quite equal to the occasion.
The English say "uncle" because the
French say "aunt." Here in England
everything goes by contraries. The
French coachman drives on the right,
the English on the left; the French
soldier has red trousers, the English
soldiers n red coat; the Frenchman
eats an oyster ont of the hollow half
of the shell, the Epglishman ont of
the fiat half; the French epicure
drinks champagne after dinner, the
English epicure during dinner, and SO
forth. Is is all a case OF pure "cus-
sedness. london News.

Who las not heard the quest! on
"What has become of all the pins?'
Millions of them are made in year.
millions are sold. and yet the supply
no more than keeps pace with the de-

mously all the time. BY conlpu,a
ton made ten years ago it was shown

ton of pins in Great Britain was go,

in France, and 100000, 600 in Ger
many, Holland and Belgium. Since
that time the production of pins has
increased largely. The biggest pin
manufacturing city in the world is
Birmingham, where 81, 100000 pins
ON the average are manufactured
every working day. The other pin
factories in England together turn out
about $1,000, 900 pins daily. The daily
output of pins in France exceeds 90,
600, 900, and Germany and other coun-
tries in Europe manufacture about
10, 600, 900 more daily, the total pro-
Guction of pins being $4,000, 900
every day-602, 600, 600 week in Eu-

the factories in the United States,

to 1900 persons, and turning out in a

it is because the gay Baron lives in

acquired the habit of extravaganza.

4 telegram was received by Truefitt
II few days ago from the Baron, dated
ST. Petersburg, saying that he would
be in Berlin at certain hotel on such
Il date, and desired that a man he
sent from Trueiitts to cut his hair.
The man was sent as desired and cut
the Baron's hair, returning to Lon lon
the following day. The Baron promptly
paid the bill, amounting to about $50,
which covered the expense Of the trip

The largest ship may he sunk by
one torpedo, such as II small torpedo
boat or "destroyer' may eject from
her "tubes.' The ordinary type of
torpedo is n long metallic cylinder,
cigar shaped, having at it's front per-
russion cap and load of gun cotton and
in its rear end reservoir of COM
pressed air, which acts on it's screw
propellers to propelthe whole through
the water at high speed seward the
enemy's vessel. 1t is commonly elected
by means of compressed air--some-
times by eyplosives-from the tube in
the bow, side or stern of n ship, above
or below water. The ship Or torpedo
boat is so turned that one of its
'tubes" will bear on the enemy's ves-
sci, and at that moment the torpedo is
elected. The torpedo strikes the en-
emys hull under water, and single
hit is sufficient to sink n $1,000, 600
battleship. The enemy's means of
defense is to destroy the torpedo boat
byrapid-t fire guns before it can get
within torpedo range which is not very
great. Baltimore Sun.

The Oldest Turtle.

In the days when Elizabeth was at
the height of her power there was
born turtle in the island of Aldabra,
which is situated between Madagas-
ear and Mozambique. That tortoise
is still alive and in good health.
Shakespeare, Cecil, Ra' eigh and Essex
have voted with the silent ma; ority;
but the turtle is still only possibility
of steaks and soup. He is the oldest
living animal on the face of the earth.
For II century and a half he has been
in the possession Of II family in Maui
ritius, whose ancestors brought him
from his native Aldabra. Experts
say that he is at least three hundred
years old. Besides being the oldest
animal alive he is the largest turtle in
the world, and measures five feet six
inches over his shell. When he stands
up he is three feet high, and the
breadth of his shell is two feet six
inches.
The other day Walter Roth schild
brought him to England and pre-
sented him to the Geological gardens.

Water in the Soil,

The United States agricultural de-
partment have found that the fertility
Of soils depends largely Oh their ca
acity for retaining moisture. In many
western localities crops grow luxuri-
antly with scarcely any summer rain,
depending on the water absorbed dur
ing winter and retained during the
entire summer by the soil. This novel
theory is insufficient to account for
the presence of so much water as is
found perpetualy present in the sol
of the Mojave and Nevada deserts. 1t
is even thought to be possible that the
permanent water supply existing at Il
depth of 40 to 100 feet may be respon-
sible for the ever-present moisture.
The effect of forests ON rainfall is now
under active discussion by several
authorities, who differ widely in their
conclusions, some holding that forests
increase rainfall and Others not nc
cep!ing this view.
