And get. instead. a bottle9
And must seek for mamma
While love vainiy throttle?
When first opened wide these eyes
And looked for my mamma

And sure-'twas not papa.
They laid me IN a basket bed
Behind the station bars,
And from an ambulance's seat
first beheld the stars.
And to the almshouse / was sent,
And oh, wonder why
These kindly women look at me
And sigh. and pass me by.
Sigh for baby things to wear,
mothers cheek to kiss.

Coal Was Prohibited.

1t makes the present generation smile
10 read the accounts which have come
down. to US concerning the prejudices
which were formerly entertained
against certain articles which are of
everyday consumption.
For instance, it is said that when coal
was first used in England the prejudice
against it was so strong that the house
of commons petitioned the king to pro-
hibit the use of the ''nOXiOus" fuel.
A royal proclamation having failed to
abate the nuisance, commission was
issued to ascertain who burned coal
within the city of London and its neigh
borhood. to punish them by force for
the first Offense and by the demolition
of their furnaces if they persisted in
transgressing. a law was finally pass
ed making it a capital Offense to burn
coal in the city and only permitting it
to be used by fOrges in the vicinity. 1t
is stated that among the records in the
Tower of London a document was
found according to which a man was
hanged in the time of Edward l. for no
other crime than having been caught
burning coal. 1t took three centuries
to entirely efface the prejudice.

AntIGuIty of Playing Cards.

The game of cards was first played
in the east and seems to have had
military origin. Cards were introduced
from Asia into Europe at the time of
the crusades and were first used by
necromancers to fOretell fortunes. They
soon became popular amusement in
the south of Europe. where the Sara
Gems and Moors taught the people how
to use them, and card playing spread
to all parts of the continent. The state
records of Germany mention the fact
that Rudolph L., in 1915, was fond of
the game and played with his court
ierS.
After the invention of paper the man
ufacture of cards became extensive,
but declined somewhat when card play
ing was forbidden by several of the
German states and by the English gov
ernment on account of the supposed
immoral tendency. Before the era of
paper cards in the orient were made
of ivory, papyrus and canvas, less fire.

Grain Moved In Streams.

Nowhere in North Ameriex will you
come ON a more thrilling night scene
than the fresh water cargo tank un-
loading at Buffalo, says Rollin Lynde
HartT in The Atlantic. Here she lies
beneath the towering grain elevator,
which thrusts a long pumping pipe
(called the ''leg'O down through her
hatchway. Mount the gangplank,
lodging the spinning ropes that make
your head reel, stumble about ON the
dark deck, look down, down, down
through the open hatch, and, zounds,
what a sight! The hold glows with
electricity. 1t is misty with blown
dust. 1t roars with mechanical activ-
ity.
An enormous steel Shovel" big as
the inside of house and manipulated
by countless flying ropes, charges back
and forth through the whole length of
the ship, pitching the yellow grain be-
fore it and heaping it up where the leg
can get hold of it to whisk it into the
bin that is somewhere up in the sky.
Beneath, in the hold, an army of blue
clad men with wooden scoops" barely
dodge the deadly shovel as they swing
the grain into its path.

Spiders Are Industrious.

No small insect ever escapes from
the web Of a spider, a fact which is
not to be wondered at when it is con-
sidered that an ordinary sized snare
may contain as many as 100000 yiscid
globules. The spinner is constantly
engaged in repairing injuries to the
web inflicted by wind. stray leaves or
captured insects. Once a day the whole
snare is subjected to rigorous examina-
ton, and any broken or loosened
threads are adjusted.-Cornhill Maga-
zine.

All Cheese Is Dense1y Populated.

Professor Adametz, who devoted con-
siderable time to the study of the fra
grant subject, said that the population
of an ordinary cheese when a few
weeks old is greater than the number
of persons upon the earth.
Professor Adametz made some inter-
esting researches dealing with the mi
mute organisms found in cheese. From
a microscopic examination of a soft
variety of Gruyere cheese he obtained
the following statistics: In fifteen
grains of cheese, when perfectly fresh,
from 10000 to 100000 microbes were
found. and when the cheese was sew
enty days old the population had in
creased to 100000 in each fifteen
grains. An examination of a denser
cheese at twenty-five days old proved
it to contain 100000 in each gram
(about fifteen grains) and when forty
five days old 100000 in the same
small particle.

The Amman Way,

The famous Appian way, mentioned
by almost every Roman writer, con-
nected the Eternal City with all parts
of south Italy. For many miles from
Rome the space on each side was filed
with sepulchers, many of them of per-
sons distinguished in history. To have
a sepulcher on the Appian way was
equivalent to being buried in Green
wood, in New York, or Pere la Chaise.

Thunder.

Winter thunder is considered through
out Europe to be of very i'll omen, but
April thunder is considered to be very
beneficial. In Devonshire and other
cider counties of England there is a
saying that when it thunders in April
you must clean up the barrels"-in
readiness, that is, for a plentiful crop
of apples.
The French consider April thunder
to be indicative of good yield from
their vineyards and cornfields.

Tnrt Honey.

A small stingless bee is found in the
state of Sinaloa and in Topic. The hon
ey of these bees is not great in quanti-
ty, is dark colOred. very liquid and is
said not to crystalline. Another pc
culiarity of the honey is that it has a
decidedly sour or tart taste, and on
this account it is much sought after as
being a greater delicacy than the sweet
honey of the tame bee. The reason
these bees are small producers is that,
as they are stingless, they are constant
ly robbed by the larger varieties, the
tame bee being one of the robbers.
