The QueHtiOn He Asked.

Sir Peter Edlin of the British bench was noted for his courtesy to prison CTS. On one occasion an incorrigible culprit was sentenced by him to twelve months after the mendicity officer had given the usual evidence of bad char acter.
 Cant I speak|' said the prisoner. '.Am I to be sentenced without 'aving lad a chance?"
 Certainly you may speak," said the learned judge. Say what you please. You shall have every opportunity. I withdraw the sentence I have just passed until I hear what you have to urge. Take your time. Pray take your time."
 'I want to ask a question, my lord"
 "By all means. Put any question you wish.'~
 Look at him, my lord" said the old rogue, pointing his finger at the men, dicity officer. Isn't he an ugly beg gar?"
 Sir Peter laughed till the tears came, but he didn't reduce the sentence.

Characteristic Differences.

One of the striking differences in the characteristics of men and women is that women like new things, while men are loath to part with old things to which they have grown attached. Old pipes, old penknives, old walking sticks these are the pets of most men, while some even carry their affection for old things to articles of wearing apparel.
 In the matter of penknives nearly all men are alike. A sign in front of an Arch street cutlery establishment reads, "Old Pocketknives Repaired" and a clerk in the store explained that that branch of the business was quite equal to the sale oA new knives. About the only people who buy new knives,' he said, "are women, who give them to men as presents. A man seldom buys a new knife. He brings his old one to be fixed. As an illustration of this, I know of one man who has been carry ing the same knife for over twenty years. At various times he has had va rious things done to it, until now I doubt if any portion of the original knife remains. s."-Philadelphia Record.

ImfuSOriNl Earth.

In the whole catalogue of ""chemi- calls, minerals and rare clements" the prices of which are quoted every week by trade Journals. perhaps no name is more puzzling to the uninitiated than "infusorial earth" Still, if one knows much about dynamite he is aware that this Is the stuff employed as an ab- sorbent to hold the nitroglycerin of that famous explosive. It was Nobel, the great Swedish engineer, who founded a number of attractive prizes to encourage scientific progress, who first discovered the trick by which nitroglycerin could be safely handled. Infusorial earth Is composed of the siiicious. shells of minute vegetable organisms. diatoms which reveal won derfully complicated and beautiful structures under the microscope.-New York Tribune.

The Water Carniyora.

The number of carnivorous creatures found in the water seems out of all proportion to the usual order of nature, but this is perhaps because the minute, almost invisible creatures of which the rivers and ponds are full and which are the main food of the smaller water car nivora, live mainly on decaying vege- table substance, which is practically converted and condensed into micro scopical animals before these become in turn the food of others.
 It is as if all the trees and grass on land were first eaten by locusts or white ants and the locusts and white ants were then eaten by semicarnivo- rous cows and sheep, which were in turn eaten by true carnivora. The wa ter weeds, both when living and decay ing, are eaten by the entomostraca, the entomostraca are eaten by the larva of insects, the perfect insects are eaten by the fish and the fish are eaten by men, otters and birds.
 Thus we eat the products of the wa ter plants at four removes in a fish, while we eat that of the grass or tur- nips only in the secondary form-beef or mutton.

WhitefieId's Purified Heart.

There were some interesting love, or, rather, matrimonial. episodes in the life of George Whitefield, the celebrated preacher. who died in TITO.
 It is not easy to, sympathize with him when we read how, when he was in America. he applied to two of his friends, MT. and Mrs. D., to give him their daughter as his wife, at the same time telling them that they need not be afraid of sending him a refusal. "For bless God,'' said he. If I know anything of my own heart, am free from that foolish passion which the world calls love. I write only because believe it is the will of God that should alter my state. but your denial will fully convince me that your daughter is not the person appointed by God for me. But have sometimes thought Miss E. would be my help mate, for she has often been impressed upon my heart.''
 He afterward married Mrs. James, a widow, who is described as once hav- ing been fashionable and gay, but now "despised follower of the Lamb" One is, perhaps, not surprised that they did not live happily together, and to find Whitefield smugly writing that her death in 1768 set his mind greatly at rest.-Household Words.

ANTHONY TROLLOPE.

Nfiseries and Irritati0ns Incident
 Upon His Start In Life.
 Anthony Trollope's start in life was unpromising. As he knew no lan- guages, ancient or modern, he became classical usher at a school in Brussels, with the promise of a commission in the Austrian army. Then he was sud denly transferred to clerkship in the London postofce. He was disqualified for the new position by general igno- rance and special incapacity for the simplest arithmetic. A vague threat that he must pass an examination was forgotten before it was put into execu- tion, and Trollope characteristically takes occasion to denounce the system of competitive examination by which he would have been excluded. Mean while he was turned loose in London and attempted to live like gentleman on f9O year. The results are indicat- ed by a couple of Anecdotes.
 A money lender once advanced him "A, for which, first and last, he paid f20O. This person. he says, became so much attached to him as to pay daily visit to his office and exhort him to be punctual. These visits were very ter rible and can hardly have been of serv- ice to me in the otfice." This mild re- mark applies also to the visits from the mother of young woman in the coun- try who had fallen in love with him and to whom he Hacked the pluck to give a decided negative" The mother used to appear with basket on her arm and an immense bonnet upon her head and inquire in a loud voice be fore. all his companions, Anthony Trollope, when are you going to marry my daughter"
 No wonder that he was miserable. He was hopelessly in debt and often unable to pay for dinner. He hated his work. he says, and he hated his idleness: he quarreled with his supe- riors, who thought him hopelessly in- capable and felt that he was sinking Ito the lowest .pits." At last he heard of a place in the Irish postof1ce which everybody despised and was successful on applying for it, because his masters were glad to get rid of him. At the same time they informed his new supe- rior that he would probably have to be dismissed on the first opportunity National Review.

Fish That Go Forty Miles an Hou,

Fish That Go Forty Miles an Hour.
 Few of us have an accurate idea of the rate at which fish swim. When we say that person is 'as fast as DOT poise," we hardly associate quick rate of swimming with that individual, yet he and everybody else would like to be able to get through the water as rapidly. Porpoises have been seen to dart round and round steamer travel ing seventeen miles an hour, thus prov ing their capacity to swim at greater rate than that.
 The dolphin may be placed on a level with the porpoise, but the bonito has occasionally been known to approach forty miles for short distances.
 Herrings, in shoals, move steadily at rate between ten and twelve miles; mackerel swim much faster, and both trout and salmon go at rapid pace when migrating up stream for spawn ing.
 Whales are not fish in the scientific sense, but it is interesting to note that these monsters swim at a rate of six teen miles an hour when excited. al though their ordinary speed is estimat- ed at between four and five miles.

The Cost1ie.t P.,,t,rr

The Duke of Marlborough is believed to be the possessor of the costliest painting in the world, which was at one time the property of the first Duke of Marlborough. The picture is known as the "Blenheim Madonna" painted by Raphael in 1907 and now valued at no less than 97O,O0O. It is eight feet high and represents the Madonna and Child seated on a throne, with a figure of St. John the Baptist on the left and that of St. Nicholas of Bari on the right. It's almost fabulous value is due to the fact that it is one of the best preserved of the artists works in existence

Flavor of Rnnfs

The carrot owes it's fattening powers to the sugar and its flaver to a peculiar fatty oil; the horseradish derives its flavor and blistering power from a vol atile acrid oil. The Jerusalem artichoke contains 141a per cent of sugar anu 5 per cent of inulin Ca variety of starch), besides gum and peculiar substance to which it's flavor is owing. Garlic and the rest of the onion family derive their odor from a yellowish volatile, acrid oil, but they are nutritious from containing nearly half their weight of glutinous substances not yet clearly de- fined

"Alison!' I cried, and before I knew what was doing my arms were round her.
 She freed herself after time and surveyed me thoughtfully.
 "Will you really marry fiirtw she asked.
 I laughed joyously, for my views re garding some things had changed.
 "Of course I must, in the interests or the public. It isn't safe to leave any one so bewitching as you are free to play with mems hearts,
 "So you will sacrifice yourself? How noble of you! But She paused. ssWhat difference will marriage make? Once flirt always fiirt, you know"
 "I sha1. take jolly good care that you don't flirt," said.
 "And I defy you to prevent me. Why should a woman not fiirt?''
 Because the habit is degrading to her sex,'' I said.
 "It is very unlike a gentleman to in- terrupt, Hector. I was going to say why should a woman not fiirt with the man she loves-the only man she has ever flirted with?"
 "Oh, if I am to have the exclusive rights" I said
 "You have had them all along" she returned.
 It was. of course, necessary that I should climb down, but I saw no req son why should not do so in digni- fled manner.
 "But flirting consists in saying things which one doesn't mean, Ali son.
 "But one may mean them all the same" she said softly. Dear Hector, I love you" ....- .... And, after all, dignity in my descent was out of the question.-King.
