TO LEARN HER AGE.
How One Can, without Giving Any
Onensc, Induce n Lady to Tell
How Old She Is.

IL Monde Che Ride, an Italian jour
nal, recently offered prizes for the
best three answers to the following
questions:
"llow can one, without giving any Of
fenes, induce Il lady to tell her age?''
Answers poured in by hundreds, and
finally the prizes were awarded.
"GO to the lady" says the winner of
the first prize, and say to her: Mad
anne, | dreamed last night that you
and | could win a large prize at the
lottery by playing a number CORE
spending to our ages, and, therefore,
If you will just tell me your age, will
go at once and buy the ticket. The
assumption is that a desire to win the
money will impel the lady to comply
at once with the request.
ASK the lady" says the winner Of
the second prize, "how long she has
been married, and, after she has re-
piled, express great establishment and
eXclaim; Mon Dicu! YOU must have
been a mere child at that time. How
old were YOU then, at any rate?" From
her two answers the lady's age can
be ascertained without arousing any
suspicion on her part.
ASK the LADY," says the winner of
the third prize, "how many years
younger she is than her husband. This
is an everyday question, and the
chances are IA thousand to one that
she will answer it promptly and cor
rectly. Then find out the husbands
age. which can easily be done, and by
working out a little sum in arithmetic
you can easily solve the problem"

SIMPLE RAIN GAUGE.

curate measurement being promoted
| by this means.
The diameter of the top is eight
er, 2.53. Consequently the one has an
area ten times larger than the other,
and ten inches of water in the tube
means that one inch has fallen in the
collector. One inch in the tube indi-
Gates rainfall Of tenth of an inch.
After n rainstorm, the measurement
is made with a slender fiat stick
graduated to inches and tenths, not
eighths. The stick is thrust down in
the tube perpendicularly, zero end
! first and then quickly withdrawn. A
! glance will show how far up the scale
has been wet by immersion. If there
is 2.3 inches of water in the tube, the
rainfall has been 0.23 of an inch.
The tube commonly used by the
| United States weather bureau at it's
stations is 90 inches deep, and is
capable of measuring rainfall of
two full inches, which is great
amount. However, to provide for a
| still greater precipitation, il is GUS
tomary to have an overflow attach
ment, shown at c. This is simply
circular can eight inches in dame
ter, into which the water flows when
the tube b is full. In actual service
the tube is set inside the can, and
then the flaring top is adjusted to the
tube. When more than two inches
have fallen, the tube can be emptied,
and then the surplus from the can
| poured in, TO be measured as the first
! installmcnt was.
| The gauge may be made of tin or
sheet copper. 1t is important that
the diameters be strictly according
to rule, in order to preserve the prop
er proportions between the area OF
the top and the cross section of the
tube. 1t is also important that the
instrument be set on level ground,
or the center of a large fiat roof,
with no fence railing or other partial
obstruction to the wind within ten
or fifteen feet. No building should be
nearer than 100 feet. Anything
which will produce eddies will cause
more rain, or less, to fall into the
gauge than falls elsewhere. Conse-
quently, great pains must be taken in
exposing this apparatus, or the re-
suits will be misleading. 1t is not
unusual for two gauges placed only
a few rods apart to give very differ
ent indicationS.-N. Y. Tribune.

THE EXPERIMENT EXPLAINED.

perpetually charged wire from the
upper air is silenced until a new
charge instantly collects. l found
that one wire running east and west,
and up into the air through n ring
aloft, when brought into connection
with another high wire running north
and south, caused, when one of the
terminals was grounded, slight
excess of atmospheric electric action
in the wire extending east and west,
and across the line of the earth's
magnetic pole, which extends nearly
north and south.
The three steel wires were raised in
the form of an immense church spire,
with a base about 800 feet across.
One edge of this upward reaching tri-
angle was formed 10y the steel wire
kite cable which went on up beyond
the apex of the wire spire to a height
of about 1000 feet, maintained aloft
by two mammoth kites. Telegraphic
signals were trans mitted from any
one station on the ground simultane-
ously to the two others by simply
grounding the wire at any one sta
ton, when the power to draw half
inch sparks at the other stations in
stantly vanished, except on the wire
running east and west, where sparks
one-siXteenth of an inch in length
continued.
BY detaching the iron rod the spark
ing power was instantly restored at
the other stations. 1t was like shut
ting on and off light in army signal
ing and so making dots and dashes.
l believe that this at present UNI
manageable static electric force could
be collected at high point in the
mountains ON large copper insulated
discs, without kites, and used to cleo
trfy the line to the west, and that
static attraction and repulsion might
be used with delicate instruments, and
without magnetism,-William A. Ed
dS, in n. Y Herald.

NUTRIMENT IN FOODS.
Almost Every known Article of Diet
Contains a Large Percentage
of Water.

An interesting side-light upon the
food is furnished by an editorial in
the London Lancet treating of the
quantity of water to be found in
many well-known articles of human
diet. 1t appears, for example, that
the turnip contains over 80 per cent.
of water, the cabbage nearly the
same amount, and the cucumber and
the vegetable marrow about % per
cent; while amongst fruits the
strawberry contains nearly 80 per
cent. of water, the apple 81 per cent.
and grapes 50 per cent. Even the
various meats used as food contain
an amount of water far in excess of
the amount of solid constituents.
Thus three-fourths of beef and NUT
ton consist of water. Lamb contains
less water, namely, GA per cent,
pork still less, 900 per cent. and
bacon only 22.3 per cent. 1t would
appear that as the flesh foods in
crease in the amount of fat the pro-
portion of water, as a rule, dimin-
is hes. Coming TO birds, the flesh of
the fowl and duck contains about 20
per cent. of water, and that of the
pigeon IS per cent, while the flesh. of
the goose contains only 3S per cent,
the last being another example of
the fat increasing with a correspond
ing diminution in the proportion of
water. Fishes contain from 40 to so
per cent. of water. The egg, one Of
the most powerful of nutritves, con-
tains 6j.j per cent. of water, the
white consisting of Sc per cent, and
the yolk of 500 per cent. The lat
ter, of course, is the more nourisb-
ing part. AS a rule. foods containing
a small proportion of water are not
fit for human consumption until they
are cooked, which commonly means
reducing them to a digestible state
by adding water and boiling.

Made for Overflow,

There are several styles Of rain
gauge in use. Some of them are self
recording. The most common type
is that here described, however, and
this calls for the use of a measuring
stick in addition to the gauge proper.
The instrument is composed Of
three parts: An adjustable top, or
collector, indicated at A in the draw
ing; tube, or holder, b; and an
overflow attachment, c. The top is
made wide and faring, so as to catch
as much water as possible, and is pro-
vided with a short tubular projection
at the bottom to fit into the tube.
The tube is deep and slender, &C.

Thrown from His Cab and
KILLED.

The following is a most interesting and, in
one respect, pathetic tale
Mr.. j. Pope, A. Ferrar Road, Streatham,
said:
Yes, poor chap, he is gone, dead-horse
boted, thrown off ms seat on his cab he was
driving and kiled--poor chap and a good
sort, too, mate. 1t was him, you see, who
gave me the half-bottle OF St. Jacobs Oil
that made a new man of me. Twas like
this. me and Bowman were great friends.
Some gentleman had given him bottle of
St. Jacobs Oil which had done him a lot
of good; he only used half the bottle, and
remembering that had been a martyr to
rheumatism and sciatica for years, that |
had literally tried everything, had doc
tors and all without benefit, became dis
couraged, and looked upon it that there was
no help for me. Well" said Pope. "You
may not believe me, for it is a miracle, but
before had used the contents Of the half
bottle of st. Jacobs Oil which poor Bow
man gave me, | was well man. There it is,
you see, after years of pain, after using rem
edes, oils, embrocations, horse liniments,
and spent money on doctors without get
ting any better. | was completely cured in
a few days. | bought another bottle, think
ing the pain might come back, but it did
not, so | gave the bottle away to a friend
who had a lame back. | cant speak too
highly of this wonderful pain-killer."

MANAGING THE HAIR.
Most Important Part of the Task Is
to Keep the Scalp In Good
Condition.

Hair oils of every kind and all prep
arations for the hair are unnecessary
so long as the scalp is in healthy
condition. Brush the hair daily with
a stiff brush, and, if the hair has
enough natural oil to permit, wash it
once in two weeks with clear cold wa
ter. A little white CASTLE soap may
be used occasionally, but if it is mixed
with 90 per cent. alcohol it will be less
injurious to the head than when it is
applied alone with water.
The falling out of the hair is caused
by fever or a severe arrangement of
the health. 1t is checked by improve
ment in the health and by applying
local remedies. An excellent lotion
for the scalp is made of two drachms
of tincture of cantharides, six
drachms of rosemary and IL ounces of
elderfower water. Apply little once
or twice day after brushing the scalp
briskly with a stiff brush until it is
in a glow. When the hair is short
Il is an excellent plant to dip the head
in cold water night and morning, and,
after thoroughly drying the hair,
brush it quickly and well for five min
utes.
An excellent hair wash, when hair
wash is needed, consists of seven
ounces Of rosewater, one ounce of aro-
matte spirits of ammonia, one and a
half drachms of tincture of cantha-
rides and half an ounce of glycerin.
Shake and mix the mixture we'll in a
bottle, and apply it to the scalp with
an old toothbrush.-N. Y. Tribune.

II milk does not disagree with one
a quart or more day will help i'm
mensely in the work of getting fat: 1t

turns into curds the moment il reaches
the gastric juices of the stomach, and
when a large quantity is swallowed at

quickly digested. A tablespoonful of
lime-water in a glass of milk will neu-
tralize its bilious properties.
