Everybody may not know that in
royal households it is not the Gus
tom TO relight candle says the Lon
don Onlooker. For however short a
time it has been burning, if once ex-
tinguished, il is never used again
at least not in the precincts of the
palace. Another quaint monarchical
custom is that there are always two
sets of servants, to insure better
service, The one set goes on duty
for three weeks, and when that time
has expired another set will take
their place, so that in the sovereigns
palace there is always one complete
retinue at work while their dupli-
Gates are resting until their three
weeks of service come round again.

USES OF LIQUID AIR.
Ever Prove to lie More Than
Curiosity.

As there is reason to believe that q
q syndicate has been formed for the
purpose of floating limited com
pany ostensibly for the commercial
utilization of liquid air, one or two
observations on this interesting sub
stance may be timely, says the Lon
don Express.
In the judgment of the most prom
inent authorities on the subject, the
commercial use of liquid air is not an
economic possibility. It Is true that
a large number of suggestions have
been made pointing to its adapta-
bility for different purposes. It has
been proposed as an explosive, and
liquid air cartridges have actually
been used with indifferent results)
for blasting. Mr.. Tesla has been cred
tied with it's employment for increas-
ing electrical conductivity, and there
by transporting electric energy for
thousands of miles without loss.
Liquid air, too, has been suggested
as a motive power, a preservative, a
caustic for medical purposes and for
variety of other singular employ
meDts.
II has to be borne in mind, how
ever, that liquid air for power pur-
poses costs 200 times as much as
steam, requiring 200 degrees (Fahr-
enheit) of frost for it's production,
and that in any case it is expensive
to make and most difficult of preser-
walton. No doubt it excited great
hopes on its entry into the world as
a manufactured product. but the bet.
ter informed now regard it as des'
tined to relapse into the position oi
a mere scientific curiosity.

A Long Island man who was show

sacks, thinking it the strangest bak-

of the dogs bought barrel of the

ITS for the dogs, you know"
he explained, as the wagon
drove up. Broken up and
mixed with other things it makes
good food for them. That man does
very well with his stale bread business.

the city, when it is too old to sell to

bet, vast lake so impregnated with
salt that indigenous life is out of the
question. 1t was impossible for him
TO get his boat close to the shore, so
that he and his companions had TO

she would float, and this was sufficient
to bring thick coating of salt ON
their legs and clothes. The entire bed

salt.

The German emperor when in any way

thumb and forefnger Of his right hand.
When he was staying in England at tho
time of the queens funreal he received
telegram and opened it in the pres

boy of six. Something in the tele-
gram did not altogether please his
majesty and he at once began to tug
at his ear. The little fellow looked up
and said: TELL me. uncle, why do you
pull at your ear?"
Because ! am annoyed my darling"
was the reply.
"Do you always do that when you are
annoyed" said the boy.
Eyes, my darling" said his majesty.
And when you are very. very much
annoyed what do you DOE" persisted
this juvenile inquirer.
"Then I pull somebody else's ear"

sufficiently thick to bear man on

Hence, Messrs ". &. Minnick, Shorty

ganzed themselves into a party for the
purpose of capturing the carp. which by
this time, from the representations or
the ever watchful Wallace, had assumed
the PROPORTIONS of a younS hippopota-

the pond. and by skating around over
the ice finally located the carp, which
was chased to the shallow water, where
Wallace struck 1t with an axe, later
transixed it with a pitchfork, and finally
landed the monster on the pond bank.
Whilst, doubtless, the fishermen We're

Along with the big one the same party

to the contrary, he may be entirely cor

TALKS AT THE STORE GATHERING
The Farmers Life an Easy One as Conn
pared With Other krc;u Winners


The Man About Town in the Farmville
Herald is important part of the able
staff of that excellent journal He is
something of philosopher and his
sketches are SO true to life as to make
them interesting. Here are some of them:
There IS a charm about a store gather
ing after supper night hard to describe.
The chnt takes a wide range, and en-
braces wellnigh every subject of local in
terest. Horses receive fun share OF at
tention and it is simply wonderful how
many two forty" steDpers, when talked
about around a store stove and not NOV
ing around d track, do actually live in
Farmville. Their name is legion. Dogs
have their champions, and the qualities
of Rover" Dash '.Ponto" and Juno"
are thoroughly ventilated.
Some mention is always made Of the
''denr girls and here again do tastes
differ as widely as do color OF eyes and
shape Of heads.
The last Sundays sermons come in for
full share Of attention, and some one is
sure TO ask about the strangers in town.
Criticisms passed are at times exacting.
but, am glad to say. there is a crafty
ing absence of that feature which makes
the sting and stain of gossip.

A Turner was complaining in presence

ed: you must at least lose two days out
Of each week, or 1Go working-days from
each year while I haven't lost one week
from my business in five years"
Five hundred days lost by the farmer,
seven by the merchant! The contrast Is
striking. am fully persuaded in my
own mind that the farmer is the most in
dependent and happesI man OF all men.
