81 heard about a peculiar case of hen
pecked husband recently" said young
woman the other day.
"What was it?" her friend inquired.
"There is a man who has some diff
Guilty in gauging his wife's temper. At
times she is considerate of his welfare
and at other times-wcll, he rather
thinks that married life is a failure.
"IIc has a peculiar manner of finding
out the state of his wife's feeling to-
ward him. In the evening when he re-
turns home from work he never steps
into the house without going through Il
sort of ceremony. First he throws his
hat in the house, and then he seats
himself on the steps and waits. If five
minutes pass without the hat being
thrown out again, he enters and gener-
ally finds his wife very agreeable.
However, if the hat is thrown out
again the unfortunate man seeks hos
ptality for the night somewhere else
rather than brave the anger of his help
meet. "-Cleveland Leader.

A woman was once trying to induce
General Sherman to use his influence
for her son in order that he might be
given place in the army, for which,
however, he had shown no particular
fitness. Ellis father was in the army"
said the urgent mother, "and SO were
his grandfather and his great-grand-
father, and it seems rs If he ought to
follow the line"
"Hm! Three generations in the
army" said the general. Don't you
think, madam, that it Is about time for
one member Of the family to work for
a liying?"

We Are Shorter nt Night.

1t is an undoubted fact that the hui
man body is shorter at night than in
the morning, and that is due to the
weight Of the body COMPRISING the
intcrvertebral cartridges. During sleep
or while in recumbent position, the
pressure being removed. their natural
elasticity enables them to resume their
normal size; consequently the height of
an individual will vary from three
eighths to half an inch between morn

Enxland's Old Common Field System.

Englnnd's Old Common Field System.
A common field" is quite distinct
from a common" 1t is field be-
longing to numerous owners. The land
consists of .ong narrow strips, perhaps
not more than ten yards wide and run
ming parallel with one another. What
are the exact rules of cultivation that
obtain in Kent today we do not know,
but of old it was usual to have a regu-
lar rotation, such as wheat one year,
barley or oats the second and fallow
the third. When the crops were har-
vested, each member of the community
getting his or her share, all could put
in their cattle, which roamed over the
whole field, feeding on the stubble, etc.
And this was termed the fright of
sack" The Common field" system was
gradually done away with by statutes
in the reigns of George III and Will
liam IV.-London Express.

An Approach to Perpetual, Motion.

A clock is to be seen at Brussels
which comes about as near being n
perpetual motion machine as can be
invented, for the sun does the winding.
The following is the method by which
it works: A shaft exposed to the solar
rays causes an up draft of air, which
ates mechanism which raises the
weight of the clock until it reaches the
top and then puts break on the fan
till the weight has gone down n little,
when the fan is again liberated and
proceeds to act as before. AS long as
the sun shines frequently enough and
the machinery does not wear out the
clock will keep in perpetual motion.

Geographical Distribution of Hair.

The geographical distribution of the
hair over the habitable world Is, rs re-
CARDS the color, very precisely defina-
bic. The Xanthocomic or light haired
races are to be found north of latitude
4S degrees, which cuts off England,
Belgium, the whole of northern Ger
many and n great portion of Russia.
Between this parallel and latitude 40
degrees, including northern France,
Switzerland and part of Piedmont and
passing through bohemia and Austria,
there is n sort of debatable land of
more or less dark brown hair, and be-
low this line we come gradually upon
the Melanic races. The people of Eu-
rope therefore present in the color Of
hair an almost perfect graduation, the
light flaxen of the colder ATTITUDES

Curing "a Mule.

A mule in pack train which was
usually loaded with salt discovered
that by lying down when fording a
certain stream and allowing the salt
to dissolve he could tighten his burden.
The muleteer once loaded him with
sponges instead, which absorbed water
when he lay down in the stream and
made his burden fourfold heavier. The
mule was cured of his smartness.
