THREE SIMPLE QUESTIONS

And the Librarian Could Not Answer
One of Them.
One day two well dressed young wo-
men approached the desk of the read
ing room of big library. One of them
took a memorandum from her pocket
book.
Can you tell me how many yards
oh, that's the wrong listr' she said,
hastily bringing forth another slip of
paper. Here it is. Will you please
tell me who is Rudyard Kipling's IA
yorite author:"
81 am unable to tell you, never hav-
ing heard that he had one," admitted
one Of the librarians.
Dear me-" said the young woman
irritably. ut is one of the questions
for our next club meeting. Well, which
one Of Thackeray's books brought him
the most income?"

consulting book. the nmber of which

For the third time the official was
obliged to confess his Inability to give
her direct information. She looked at
him with piercing gaze and turned
away. saying audibly to her compan-
ion:

talk about their being examined for
positions in libraries amounts to! Three

airy subjects. and he couldn't answer

PecuIiarities of Asthma,

The peculiarties of asthma are well
known, and one New York woman
thinks that she has more than usual
reason to complain of the vagaries of
the disease. She had always lived in
the lower part of the city on one of the
avenues distant from the two rivers
and had suffered in no unusual degree
from asthma when the weather was
not unfavorable The doctor was not
consulted when her husband bought a
house in another part CT the city, and
1t is indeed doubtful if he could have
foreseen the effect upon her of living
in the new neighborhood.
1t took the sufferer only few hours
to realize that it would be impossible
for her to live in the new house, which
was only n short distance from the
North river. Her discomfort became
so great that she was compelled at the
end of week to give up all attempt to
reside there, and the house that had
been built with SO much care and ex-
pense had to be abandoned.
Another example Of the vagaries of
asthma is to be found in the case of a
New Yorker who is comfortable enough
in this city so lorg as he lives on the
upper stories of lofty hotel or other
residence building. but is in great dis
tress SO soon as he is compelled to be
on terra firma. New York Sun.

Costly Wines,

Our millionaires think S75 a gallon
for rare old Madeira an utterly impos-
sible price simply because their tastes
are blunted by champagne, and they
care no more for a bottle of Welsh Re
serve, Newton Gordon or Chillings-
worth glethOrpe than for a cheap
sherry. In the famous cellars of the
Hotel de Vile at Bremen there are g
dozen cases of holy wine which have
been preserved for 250 years. A mer-
chant figures out that If the cost of
maintaining the cellars, payment of
rent, interest upon the original value of
the wine and other incidental charges
are considered a bottle of this choice
Madeira has cost no less than $1,000
600, each glassful $270,OOO, and single
drop could not be sold without loss un-
der 5000.
1t is probable that this very old wine
is worthless on account Of starvation"
Charles Bellows, our ablest authority
on Madeira, says that it becomes
Starved after feeding upon its own
lees for 30 or 40 years. 1T seems to
me that it Is very human and requires
companionship," he says. "Demijohns
of the same variety should be blended.
The marriage Of the two wines would
probably give the lees more character,
and the wine would thus continue to
improve. This certainly ought to be
done as a tonic after the Madeira has
been so years in glass" York

Twenty Lost Gold Mines.

There are at least 20 lost gold mines
IN various parts of the world. Many
of them have yielded rich ores and
lost.
There is one in the north of the
Transyaal, for instance. that was dis
covered by accident in the eighties by
two Englishmen. The finders had en-
camped one night and had. as they
thought, securely tethered their horses
when they suddenly heard loud neigh
from one of the animals and moment
later saw them both racing away ap-
parently in the greatest terror.
Soon after dawn they were up and
after an hours tramp found one of the
poor beasts lying on the ground with a
broken leg. In its struggles it had
kicked up the ground and had exposed
rich gold quartz only a few inches be-
low the surface.
The two men marked the spot and
returned to the district a month later
to start work on the mine. But in
spite of all their efforts they could not
find the place, and to this day the mine
has not been rediscovered.
In the late seventies there was ire
mendous excitement in California
when a prospector described a gold
mine he had found. A party soon pre-
pared to set out, with the discoverer of
the mine as guide, but the mine has
never been discovered, though thou
sands of dollars have been spent in
prospecting for it.-Stray Stories.

Time to Leave.

The late D'Oyly Carte always safe
guarded himself by refusing to see any
one who had not an appointment or
stated his or her business on a printed
form supplied at his office. Alfred Gel
lier used to tell a delightful story in
this respect. He had a manservant, a
Swiss italian, and one day, having
been invited to dine with Mr.. and Mrs.
Carte on Adelphia terrace and forgot
ten the time, he sent down his bench
man to learn the hour of the repast.
This was about 10 in the morning. The
day went on, and no emissary appeared
till past 8 In the evening, when the
henchman crept YEARLY in.
Where have you been, you rascal?'
asked Collier Indignantly.
"Ah, sare," replied the poor fellow,

TIMING YOUR TRAIN.
Ways In Which to Learn How Fast
You Are Travelling.

You Are Travelling.
There has been some picturesque
fiction written about the ease with
witch railroad men and drummers are
supposed to tick off the miles as the
train speeds along from things they
can see from the car windows" said q
railroad conductor tt. a reporter.
There is only one strictly accurate
way, and that is to seat yourself on the
side of the train from which NAV be
observed the white mile posts that line
the road and hold your watch on them.
If you have split second watch, II
will prove interesting to note that
While you made one mile In 60 seconds
the next was covered In So and the
third in 20 seconds, and so on, as the
speed Of the train increases or slack
ems. You may also follow around the
little second hand on an ordinary
watch. 1t kills time.
Some pretend to say that they can
tell the speed Of the train by counting
the tel graph poles. If there were an
exact number of telegraph poles to ev-
cry mile, this might be done by little
figuring, but there is a difference. The
number of telegraph poles to a mile
vary from 80 to 40, depending upon the
straight stretches and the curves in the
track. the latter having more poles
than the former. So, you see, it is not
as easy as the drummer would have
the other passengers believe.
If the poles are planted 33 10 tie
mile, they are 160 feet apart, and every
II passed represents a third of a mile.
If placed 40 to mile, they are 132 feet
apart, and every 20 represents half a
mile.
"These are easy figures to remember,
and by applying them on q journey q
passenger may obtain an idea more or
less accurate of the speed of the train.
Another way is to attempt to count
the clicks OF Ii wheels of the truck of
your car as they pass over the rails
where joined. The rails of the roads as
placed today are too evenly Joined to
arrive at an exact determination by
this method because If you miss two or
three joints your calculations are
thrown out as to accuracy.
However. there are railroad men
who cannot tell you the number of rails
to the mile of their own roads, and
rails vary in length, the average being
80 feet. some 80 feet and some GO feet
At 80 feet there are l16 rails to the
mile, and if you can count 176 consecu-
tive clinks as your train flies along you
may determine Its speed and not other.

The Opal superrtition.

There is one superstition of wide
range and influence that is directed
against one of the most beautiful OBJ
Jects in nature, the opal. A man In my
town failed in business, and what do
you think he did? Took his opal ring
into the yard and smashed it to pieces
with hammer! He ascribed his bank
ruptcy to that opal, and he intended
neither to suffer such misfortune again
nor to allow any other one to do so by
inheriting or buying that i'll starred
property.
One of the most amusing Instances Of
trust in wrong things is reported
from New York. where a man took an
opal to a jeweler and asked him to sell
it, as he had had nothing but bad luck
since he owned it, his business ven
lures having failed, his children having
suffered illness and the old scratch
having been to pay generally. The
jeweler found the gem to have been an
imitation. It's falsity must have been
obvious to everybody except the vic
tim, because the opal is the stone that
has never been even passably initiated.

The Toothpick Habit.

"Pd like to know what my custom
ers do with all the toothpicks they car
ry away" remarked restaurant pro-
prietor the other day. Few men take
a single toothpick. Most Of them take
half dozen and many whole hand
full, and when they come in here again
for the next meal they take as many
over again. They don't need them. It's
all due to the toothpick chewing habit,
which seems to be growing. There
isn't anything particularly pleasant
about chewing wooden toothpick, and
1t may be injurious if piece of the
wood lodges in the throat or gets down
into the stomach, as it is very apt to-.
But the toothpick chewing habit is be-
coming rival to the gum and tobacco
habits. The only reason can give for
it Is that the tootbpicks are free and
gum and tobacco are not."-New York

HOW BIG SEA TURTLES FEED
Take Big Balls of Grass Out to Sea
and Eat While Swimming.

Take Big Balls of Grass Out to Sea
and Eat While Swimming.
With my gastroromic taste natural
ly was very curious to know just what
kind of terrapin are caught in these
waters, for the dish is one much
sought after by epicures and forms
part of the menu for every first class
hotel on the coast. l was told that
none is caught about here, but was
invited to a sea turtle hunt. Let the
reader imagine a turtle weighing all
the way from 1000 to 1900 pounds,
and not long ago one was turned over
on the beach near Miami that weighed
more than LOGO pounds. OF course l
am. giving the largest weight, for the
average weight of those caught along
the coast is about 500 pounds. After
they are caught the turtles are kept for
long TIME, their captors feeding them
on cabbage, lettuce, turnips, carrots
and sea grasses.
The study of this monster shellfish is
most interesting one. In order to get
rid of the parasites that cling to their
shells they often enter fresh streams tc-
enjoy a bath. but they are extremely
timid and take fright at the least
noise. The hunter knows, however,
that the turtle feeds in brackish
streams where the tide falls rather low
and where the turtle grass grows in
greatest profusion. The turtles cut
great quantities of this grass and then
roll 1t into ball, cementing it as they
roll 1t with the clay in which the grass
grows, and in this way, when they
have managed to amass a goodly sup
ply of provisions, they wait for high
tide and float away seaward, feeding
as they float
The professional hunters are quick to
detect these balls, and just the mo-
ment they DO so they set their seines
and send their peggers, as the men are
called, in search of the feeding shoals.
Men are not the only enemies the tur-
ties have, however, for bears, raccoons
and other animals native to Florida
destroy great numbers of them.-Jack-
