oven which had once belonged to
Martha. Washington. In the same
trunk was letter which gave his
tory of the relic. The oven has the
appearance OF IL kettle. 1t is round
iron pot, about six inches deep and
thirteen inches in diameter. The sides
of the kettle are black. Martha Wash
ington gave the oven to Mrs. Mary
Denning, in 1878, in exchange for
soMe knitting.
Mrs. Denning kept it until her
death, in 1927, when it came into the
possession of her daughter, Mrs.
Elizabeth Renshaw. During the war
of 1872 Mrs. Denning, who was living
in Brandywine Manor, Pa, buried the
oven in her yard, with $500 in it, In

Probably no people in the world eat
so much meat as the Americans. The
secretary of agriculture places the an
nual meat bill at not less than 5000, .
600. 900. Figures can be only approx
innate, yet n fair estimate would place
the beef consumed at 5000, 900, 600
pounds, pork at 1000, 900, 600 and
mutton at 800, 600, 900 pounds. With
the poultry and game the total meat
eaten annually cannot be less than
10, O00, 600, 900 pounds, which is nearly
two pounds day for each family of
five persons.
At the same time the export of this
product is enormous. OF beef 48S, =
OOO, 900 pounds went out last year.
seven eighths of which was consumed
in Great Britain. Exports of pork
products reached no less than 1902,
600, 900 pounds. Germany took Is per
cent. and Great Britain Sc per cent.
To the meat supply must be added the
products of the rivers, lakes and
oceans, aggregating probably some
800. 900, 600 pounds of various kinds
OF fish. The canned salmon alone is
placed at 81, 600, 600 pounds.

4 Talent for Balancing

The pleasant coffee room of the old
Star and Garter, at Richmond which
was burned down in lSt9-wus patron
lied by statesmen, politicians, and
writer's. On Saturday evening, says
writer in the Cornhil Magazine, it
was regularly visited bya middle-aged
gentleman of rather broad stature,
with gray hair, and large shirt col
lar which formed conspicuous fea-
ture in his attire. He would dine al
ways alone ut a particular corner
table, and after dinner it was his
hlmor to build up before him pyra-
mid of tumblers and wine glasses,
which he topped with IL decanter.
Occasionally the whole structure would
topple over aud litter the table with
its ruins. Then the middle-aged
gentleman would rise, pay his bill,
including the charge for broken glass,
and depart. The walters knew him
well. He was Thomas Darlington,
Lord Mucauluv.

1t is estimated that the earth re-
ceives not more than one thousand
milionth part of the total radiation of
the suns rays. If any considerable
proportion of this heat were cOncen-
trated upon the earth it would not
only become nninhabiiable, but be
speedily consumed. IF the great ac-
emulation of ice at the North Pole
were placed at point at which this
tremendous heat could be focused, it
would melt at the rate of three hun
bred millions of miles of solid ice per
second and the heat is estimated to
generate energy at the rate of about
ten thousand horsepower to every
square foot of surface.

The first serious object that will be

the bride is only IL little child Just a
year old and hardly able to stand
erect. and ler wunld-be husband is a
boy of ten or eleven, and his eyesight

say that because Brahma wills that
he should be the husband of the little
baby there can really he no help for
it. In the other case the bride is four
years old and the husband is ten times
older. Our correspondent adds ::
'';Smch marriages have not altogether
ceased in this country, and these
clearly indicate the necessity for effec-
tive legislation. Let those who OBJ
ject to the introduction of the two
