Dozen. In England.

Don't imagine that a dozen always
means II things. In the Staffordshire
pottcries and in the earthenware trade
dozen to this day represents that
number of any special article which
can be offered at any fixed price.
For instance, the pitchers, which are
called jugs in the trade, are sold as 2,
3, 4, 6, 8, 70, is, "a, 80 and SO pieces to
each dozen, the price for q dozen being
constant.
The ordinary pitcher holding quart
represents - to the dozen, while a pint
pitcher is "a to the dozen and is so call
ed when dealing with that size.
Few of the articles of the trade are
sold in dozens of u, plates being al
most the only ones and some Of them
being sold co. 20 and even 80 to the
dozen.
Besides these curiosities in figures
the potters have peculiar names, such
as cockspurt, twiflers, etc., that make
up trade language of itself.
The bakers dozen Of 10 is a recog-
nized figure in their trade.
A publishers dozen Is usually ID

Work of the Earthwor.n.

When we behold wide. turf covered
eXpanse, we should remember that it's
smoothness, on which so much Of it's
beauty depends, is mainly due to all
the inequalities having been slowly
leveled by worms. 1t is a marvellous
reflection that the whole of the superb
cial mold over any such expanse has
passed and will pass again every few
years through the bodies Of worms. The
plow is one of the most ancient and
most valuable of mans inventions, but
long before he existed the land was, in
fact, regularly plowed by earthworms.
It may be doubted whether there are
many other animals which have played
so important a part in the history of
the world as have these lowly organ
lied creatures. Some other animals,
however, still more lowly organized
namely, corals-have done far more
conspicuous work in having construct
ed innumerable reefs and islands in the
great oceans, but these are almost con-
fined to the tropical zones.

Why the Mole IL Blind,

The creatures which dwelt in the
darkness of the depths naturally lost
their powers of vision after awhile. 1t
is the same way with the mole, which
is doubtless descended from progeni-
tors which could see. Blindness in the
mole is the result Of a degeneration of
the optic nerve, the consequence of
which is that images formed in the eye
itself are not transmitted to the ami
mails consciousness. Occasionally a
mole can see a little out Of one eye
which has retained .ts communication
with the brain.
It is not that the mole is born blind,
but that it inherits tendency to afro
ply of the visual organs just as peo-
pie derive from their parents an incli-
nation to consumption or other dis
eases. Some day in the future there
may be no such thing as mole that is
not entirely and hopelessly blind.

Fhe Girafre,s Timidity.

A giraffe is very timid on hearing
slight sounds. but is Indifferent to loud
ones. A writer in The Leisure Hour
says: NOISY sounds, like man walk
ing by with hobnail boots it does not
notice. but a lady coming in with hard
ly more sound than the rustling of her
dress makes it start. with pricked ears
and eyes distended. We remember
we'll, after terrible explosion of gun
powder on a barge on the canal, ask
ing the keeper Of the giraffes Of that
day how they had taken it, and he said
he. was surprised how very little notice
they took. They jumped to their feet,
but almost at once lay down again
when they found nothing happened.
But" he added, "if were at night
time to creep along that gallery in my
socks they would be so scared that
believe they would dash themselves to
bits" They fear the lurking foe, and
bling bang scares them less than
faint. rustling sound. They are In that
respect very deerlike."

When Ha2en S. Pingree was coming
into prominence in Michigan politics.
he was in Washington one night and

through the coming week. These she
placed carefully on her pantry shelves.

THE ISLAND OF TAHITI.
II May BE Rightly Termed the Para.
disc of the Pacific.

IL May he h1Rhtly termed the ParR.
disc of the Pacific.
Picture an island set in reef of coral
of myriad hues-the lagoon of a light
green, outside the white foaming break
ers the vast ocean of intense blue. On
shore are great punches of cccoanut
magnificence, then there are lanes Of
trees blossoming in red and yellow flow
ers, and nesting in their midst are the
low matched houses of the natives.
The delightful and healthy climate of
the island brings to maturity all the
products Of the tropics, which are no.
where found in greater fullness and
perfection than here. The wayfarer is
soothed by the fragrance of sweet
smelling flowers and delighted with the
abundance Of oranges, bananas, bread
fruit and cocoanut which give a peren-
NAL supply of food to the natives.
Tahiti may be rightly termed the
paradise Of the Pacific" or even the
world. as in no other place is there so
much variety of scenery. At every
turn the constant surprises keep the
traveller in delirium Of delight. Some
times the sea lies before him, the
waves wreathed in a foam of white
breaking the silence in continuous
roar; on the, other side the high, steep
mountains in forms of towers, domes
and steeples pierce the clouds. Now
and then silvery band of water falls
from perpendicular heights to the tur-
bulent stream below. Then you pass
under the sheltering shadows of tall
interlacing trees which excel even the
grandeur of our elm. Farther on you
pass through lanes lined with bananas.

The Blood.tone.

Bloodstone, which is really green
chalcedony spotted with Jasper, is ac-
counted for by the following legend:
At the crucitixicT piece of chalcedony
lay at the fcNt Of the cross, and on it
dropped the Saviour's blood, from which
time the stone is said to have borne
red spots, which are supposed to in
crease and to deepen in color when
danger is near. 1t is also said to revive
the spirits and to inspire to great
deeds. to check excessive bleeding and
last, but not least, to render its wearer
invisible at will.

Power without Heat.

AS we watch the world famous plunge
of Niagara we are offered an impress
sive lesson as to the small value in
heat of much motive power. In so far
as the descent is perpendicular, so that
the water leaves the foot Of the falls
with comparatively little current, the
effect of the conclusion is simply to
warm the water through but one-sixth
of degree F. To heat the water as
much as one degree the falls would
have to be III feet in height.-George
lies in Every body's Magazine.

Heads Much Alike.

Most expert craniologists insist that
it Is extremely difficult to determine
sex from the skull, but admit there are
few distinctions which taken togeth-
er indicate sex. Perhaps the most
marked distinction is the prominence
Of the bony projection over the nose.
The skull in man is thicker and stron-
ger. and the mastoid processes beneath
the ear are larger. Broca is authority
for the opinion that if the skull rests
on the mastoid processes it is almost
certainly mans. In woman the top
of the head appears fatter, while in
man the curve from before backward
Is more smooth and even. Greek sculp-
tors always recognize this.-Health

and filled with happy young people
who had come to congratulate that
young lady upon her safe arrival SO
far on the earthly journey, and to
hope that she might he with them
for many years yet. The rest of the
family had got wind of the affair and
unbeknown to 'Lizbeth made some
preparations for the occasion SO when
time for luncheon came they were not
found wanting, but most tempting
repast was set before the guests. The
evening was passed amid games, con-

sped by all too quickly and the old
hall clock warned them twas time to
seek the downy couch which they did
but not before bidding their fair
young hostess good night and hoped
for many more returns of the day.
