His Debut mn an Actor.

Frank j. Mcintyre was a newspaper
man in Ann Arbor, Mich. before he be-
came an actor. He began as a cub
reporter while still n student in Mich
igan university and finally advanced
until the editor left him in charge Of
the paper on one occasion when he took
a trip to Detroit.
Two important local items were to
be printed, one relating the sad demise
Of a young man Of prominent family,
the other telling how a travelling sales
man had jumped his board bill at a
local hotel. Mac had to write the
headlines for these stories, and, after
scratching his head, he evolved Pass
ed Away Quietly for the obituary
story and Jumped His Board Bill"
for the hotel beat. "Mac" was proud
of his achievement and, lighting a big
cigar, leaned back in his chair and be-
gan to realize how it feels to be an
editor.
The man who "made up" the paper
scanned the headings, transposed them,
and the friends and relatives of the
deceased read that lie had Jumped
His Board Bill" and the bereaved
landlord learned that his late guest had

The Celts and Green,

The early Celts worshiped the dawn
and the sunrise. 1t is more than proba-
BILE, therefore, that their liking for the
color green which we see in their flags,
sashes, etc, arose from a mistake
among those who had lost a thorough
knowledge Of the Irish language. The
sun in Celtic is called by a word pro-
nounced exactly like our word "green,"
and it is likely that the Irish fondness
for that color arose through the strik-
ing similarity Of the two words. In
the same way, when we talk about n
greenhouse we think they are so called
because plants are kept green in them
during the winter; yet it is far more
probable that the word is derived from
the old Celtic word for sun, because
greenhouses are so built as to catch the
rays and heat Of the sun and store
them for future use.

Autumn Haze.

Autumn haze" says a meteorological
al expert, lis dust composed of the fin
est particles of soil, dead leaves, smoke
or ashes from wood fires, salt from
ocean spray, the shells or scales from
microscopic siliceous diatoms, germs of
fungi, spores Of ferns, pollen Of flow
ers, etc. In the still air of damp nights
these dust particles settle slowly down,
and the morning air is comparatively
clear. During the daylight the sun
warns the soil, which heats the ada
cent air, and the rising air currents
carry up the dust as high as they go.
Under certain conditions this layer of
dust reaches higher and higher each
day. During long, dry summers in In
dia 1t reaches to n height Of 1000 feet,
with n well defined upper surface that
is higher in the daytime than at night.
The reason why we have more Of hazy
weather in autumn is because there is
then less horizontal wind and more ris-
ing air"

When Thomas Snodgrass, %ex-collect-
or Of CANAAN. Madras, was expelled
from the service of the East India
company owing to his extravaganza,
he applied for a pension, but the com
pany turned a deaf ear to him. Ac-
cordingly he arrayed himself in tattered
clothes and, armed with n broom, set
to work sweeping n crossing In Lead
entail street In front of the East India
house. Immediately all London was
ngog with the intelligence that an old
and distinguished officer Of the East
India company who had ruled over
100000 people and reveled in a palace
was now reduced in the evening Of his
life to the necessity Of earning his
bread by sweeping the streets. The
king was thunderstruck and implored
MI. Snodgrass to take himself and his
broom away. This he did when the
company gave him his pension.
