Scented Water for the Table.

II society has not perfected the art of dining it is surely not far from it. The latest fad for the dinner table is scented water for the finger bowls, Great care should be taken in seentfng the water To be correct the odor must be exceedingly faint Verbena leaf is refreshing. and occasionally one leaf is left floating on the water og each finger bowl When natural flow CTS and leaves are scarce and one has not a private hothouse or conservatory to draw rom perfume tablets are used for this purpose.

A sneeze is with half the nations of the world nothing to be sneezed at. To exclaim God bless you!" when any one sneezes in your presence is a relic oL what what the Roman did before us, and before him the Greek. Moham- med gives directions of the same kind to his followers, and the Hindu of to- day utters his pious ejaculation after the sneeze by way of prayer or good wish on behalf of the victim. Many people will avoid going under ladder If they can get around it. The belief that if you put on your stocking the wrong side out it is lucky is very gen. eral or was until the sehoolmaster re- turned from abroad, and I myself re- member an old woman who was con- vinced that turning her stocking inside out saved her from being lost when the fairies, one piteh-dark night, had misled her on trackless English moor. What is to take the place of lucky horseshoe when we all ride in auto mobiles? There is no room for the imagination in them. Some new mas cot will have to be discovered. Charms of one kind or another are carried by people that have a pious contempt for heathen superstitions; small potato. for example, to avert rheumatism, or a chestnut. The late journalist, George Augustus Sala, never travelled without carrying with him, as a lucky card. an ace of spades. Somehow it failed to save him from his creditors.

Unusual Tnesde nt.

An unusual incident happened or the homeward voyage of the Castle liner Carisbrook Castle, from the Cape. The English letters not having arrived before the Lismore Castle sailed from Cape Town for home, the captain of the GarisBrook Castle, which was to sail the following day, good-naturedly undertook to deliver the letters to the disappointed passengers of the Lis more Castle on the high seas. On overriding the 1.ismore- Castle, the captain had the letters enclosed i'll q tin box and soldered up. This was put into barrel. with pole at- taehed flying a red flag. and having passed the Lfsmore Castle and got we'll ahead of her. the barrel was dropped overheard, the captain of the Caris- brook ct the same time hoisting sig nal which had been pre-arranged. The Lfsmore Castle. coming up on her course in due time, picked up the bar rel, and so the passengers received their anxiously=Waited news from home They expressed their gratitude on their arrival in England by sending to the commander of the Carisbrook Castle beautifully illuminated ad- dress, on which was depicted barrel floating on the high seas bearing 8 red flag, the barrel being supported by two pretty sea maidens.

Queer Devices for Use in Warfare.

New while war is going on the pro- life brain of the inventor is busy de- vising ways in which to speedily an initiate the enemy. One ingenious in- dividual, an Englishman, suggests a mist or fog ball with which to envelop an antagonist in impenetrable dark ness. The balls are easily broken spheres, containing ammonia and acids, which, on escaping, create a very dense fog, wrapping everything near it in haze until blown away by the wind: He argues that this would be a most efficaeious method of prevent ing the Boers from aiming at English troops. Another proposes to blind the foe by firing into their midst bullets filled with pepper-thus doing double good work, both disabling the enemy and increasing the consumption of our colonial produce.

AMERICANS IN THE ANTARCTIC
Palmer Named Washington Strait and
 Monroe Bay in I821.

EaInaef Named washington StFait AEQ
 Monroe Bay in 1891.
 The first important discovery of land by an American came about in 1920. At that time the South Shetland islands, sighted by Dirk Gerritz in 1898 and by him named New Iceland. had just been rediseovered by Sir William Smith, and, according to the good old Eng fish custom. duly rechristened. They seemed to offer a good field for sealers, and promptly a fleet from Stonington was on hand in Yankee harbor, then the southernmost refuge known. The commander Capt Pendleton, noticed lofty peaks still farther south, and sent Capt N. B. Palmer in the sloop Hero, but little rising 40 tons," to make in- vestigations. Capt Palmer found the new country extensive but bleak and useless for sealing, and he promptly returned. Near Yankee harbor he fell in with the famous exploring expedi- ton under Bellingshausen. The Rus sians had supposed the South Shetland to be a discovery of theirs, and were amazed to find an American vessel apparently, as Tanning reports the speech of the commander, 4in as fine order as if it were but yesterday she had left the United States. They were further amazed when Palmer told them of the new land beyond Bellingshau- sen sailed farther south, and diseoy- cred more lands. but did not forget to give to Palmer the honor of first sight ing the outlines of the continent In the following season Palmer visited his discovery again. coasted 1t for al- most b degrees-from about the 64th parallel of longitude to the 49th-and at 61 degrees Il minutes came upon strai5 which he named after Washing ton. He landed in bay and chris tened it for Monroe. His names. how ever, together with those given by other Americans, have disappeared from the charts.-Serihner's

Facts About Each Person will Be Tabu.
 lated for the Census by Electricity.
 Our first census, made in l795, showed the population of the United States to be 5,000,000 and the count cost Uncle Sam, who was compara- lively poor then, cent for each per son. It is estimated that the twelfth census, to be made in June 1900, will show that our people number 75,000,- GOO, and that the item Of clerk hire in the census bureau alone will exceed S5,000,000 Clifford Howard. writing of How the Next Census Will Be Taken" in the Ladies, Home Journal, says that although the work of enumeration will be completed by the 1st of July, it will probably be two or even three months later before the last of the schedules are received at the census office; for not only must they all be first examined by the supervisors, but in many cases they will probably re- quire revision because of some error or informality> The actual counting of the people will not be done until the schedules are turned into the cen- sus office. The enumerators simply gather the facts, and the office force in Washington does the counting and the compiling, which is done by electricity, In 100 days all the facts relating to 75,o0Qeoo people will be tabalated.

GLAZED PAPER.
Held as the Cause for the APrn.lng Tn.
 crease in Near-sightedness.


 According to a certain number of German ophthalmologists, the use of glazed paper has a prejudicial effect upon the eyesight There lies the cause, they say, of the continuous in- crease of myopia during the last fifty years. Formerly a dull, grayish paper of coarse texture was used Now the paper has a smooth, brilliant surface, with luminous reflections that were ab~ sent from the rough surface of the old paper. In old books soft light easily brought out in relief the characters, which were printed in heavier, blaeker type. Now, with the glazed surface, the light is all the more reflected, be- cause the characters themselves are finer and less pronounced, thus giving rise to a play Of light and shade that is most fatiguing to the eyes. To prove this it suffices to take an old edition of the magazines printed ar tistically and compare the effects pro- duced on the eyes after half an hours reading For this reason hygienists recommend the avoidance of glazed or highly polished paper in schools. The paper should be of grayish or bIueish tinge In any case it should not be white, and never brilliant.

This is a book for young and old 1t
brings the reader to realize his own

lures to him the place his home-the
earth-occupies among the planets. And
then he steps out into space and follows
thought into the depths, into the systems
of which our sun is one of a family into
and past the nebulae beyond.
Comparisons are numerous; the little
is contrasted with the big, and this with
the still larger until the very sun seems
small, and is small, point in space, a
point from which the light and heat
vanish and disappear as the sun falls
out of sight behind. could say no
more were l to write page. l could
say less in many pages of print than
