Knew a Good Thing

From a speech delivered by the "Sil-
yer Tongued" orator before the Inter-
national Congress:
And Furthermore, do not lose sight
of the examples held up before us,
worked out by our predecessors. We
have seen immortal Rome rise, fall and
decay; Carthage is now but limping
memory of the gorgeous splendor of
Cleopatra's reign glorious Athens of
the past now rests silent and sad
among the Grecian ruins, monuments
of architectural beauty laid low by the
ravages of time; and the Egypt of the
Pharaohs has passed under the rule of
the barbarian Thus time levels all,
but the works of man shall proclaim
his worth and shall measure the scope
of his attachments. In our own day
we behold the handiwork of man, in a
markedly rising grade, advancing to-
ward the pinnacle of perfection. Wit
ness mans bequests to posterity: the
countless applications of electricity, the
greyhound of the waves, the searching
eye of the heavens, the steam engine,
the cotton gin, the printing press, and
finally that greatest of all inventions,

How England Drank In 1912.

This is how our forefathers managed
In a time when tea and coffee were
unknown and beer was the common
beverage of the Englishman. In the
Northumberland Household Book, com.
menced in 1912, we have an exhaustive
account of the domestic economy of the
great Percy family, and from it we
learn that at breakfast, which was
served at O'Clock in the morning, the
earl and countess had a quart of beer
and a quart of wine between them;
two sons, "My Lorde Percy and Mals-
ter Percy" a pottle two quarts) of
beer, and two children in the "Nurcy"
nursery) a quart of beer. For dinner,
at 10 O'Clock, my lord and lady had a
gallon of beer and a pottle of wine, the
two boys a quart of beer and the youn-
ger children pottle of beer AT sup
per, at o'clock, the earl and countess
shared pottle of beer and pottle of
wine; the children also had their al
lowance. For livery" which was
served in the bedroom between and
8 O'Clock in the evening, the parents
were supplied with gallon of beer
and quart of wine and each pair of
children with pottle of beer. Surely
there could in this case have been no
drinking between meals" - London
Chronicle

The Eve of the East.

Damascus, perhaps the most ancient
city in the world, claims the proud title
of ''the Eye of the East" which the
striking beauty of its aspect from dis.
tance fully justifies.
Bright buildings which sparkle un-
der the Syrian sun rise out of n mass
of many tinted foliage To the north
west stretch the long. bare, snow white
ridges of Anti-Lebanon, while in
charming contrast gardens, rich corn
fields and teeming orchards form a
brilliant setting ON all sides.
Winding through this profuse display
of oriental beauty, the rivers Barrada
and Phege-the ALBANIA and Pharpar of
Scripture-lose themselves far to the
east in Lake Bahr-el-Merj. On near
er view much of this glamour van
ishes, and there is abundant evidence
of general decay.
A similar title is given to Athens in
Millions Paradise Regained." 1t is:
Athens. the eye of Greece. mother of arts.
Amador ledger., 1903-05-29
The conee Cup In Persia.

The expression ''to give cup of cof-
fee'' has in Persia a somewhat omi-
nous significance. This is due to the
fact that the coffee cup is one recog,
nized medium for conveying poison.
Some years ago the governor of Aspa-
dana, having long been at daggers
drawn with the chief Of a powerful
mountain tribe, determined in this way
to put an end to all trouble. He pro-
fessed to entertain great degree Of
friendship and esteem for the chief
tain and invited him to visit him at his
palace. The chief unsuspiciously came,
accompanied by his two young sons
For a week they were royalty enter
tanned. But at last one morning when
the chief came into his hosts presence
he was coldly received, and an attend
ant soon stepped forward with single
cup of coffee in his hand, which he Of
fered to the guest. The latter could
not fail to understand that he was
doomed. Preferring, however, steel to
poison, he declined the cup and was
thereupon, at a signal from his host,
stabbed to death.

UncommerciaI Liszt.

Artistic folk frequently have some
what vague notions about business.
Some of them are quite ignorant of 1t,
others utterly Indifferent to 1t and 9TH
ers yet hate the very name of It One
In the last named category was Liszt.
He had returned from successful
tour, and Princess Metternich, the wife
of the celebrated statesman and diplo-
matist, was questioning him regarding
the concerts he had been giving abroad.
81 hear" she said, that you did good
business I'm Paris"
To which Liszt gave the tart reply:
II only played some music there. Busi-
ness-that leave to bankers and di-
plomatists."
To another lady the musical cleric
gave a still more sarcastic answer.
"Ah, Abbe," she sighed, what great
fortune you would make if only you
could be induced to go to America to
playr'
Madame" returned List "if you
stood in need of that fortune, believe
me, 1 would go at once" Golfers

GOunOd the Man.

Gounod was one of the most fasci-
mating men l have ever met. His man
ner had a charm that was irresistible,
and his kindly eyes, as soft and melt
ing as a womans, would light up with
a smile now tender, now humorous,
that fixed itself ineffaceably upon the
memory. He could speak English fair
ly well, but preferred his own Ian
guage, in which he was brilliant con-
versationalist, and he could use to ad-
vantage a fund of keen, ready wit. He
was at this time Influenced by a re-
crudescence of that religious mysticism
which had strongly characterized his
youthful career, but his tone, though
earnest and thoughtful when he was
dwelling upon his art, could brighten
up with the lightness and gayety of q
true Parisian.-Hermann Klein in Cen
tury
Amador ledger., 1903-05-29
A Pair of Catfish.

A pair of catfish that were continu-
ously watched in a government aqua
rum made a nest by removing the
gravel from q corner. During the first
few days after Matching the fry, bank
ed in the corners of the tank, were at
irregular intervals actively stirred by
the barbels of the parents, usually the
male. Subsequently the parents were
seen to suck the eggs into their mouths
and then extrude them with some force.
The predaceous feeding habits of the
old fish gradually overcame the -paren-
tai instinct. The tendency to suck the
fry into their mouths continued and
the inclination to spit them out dimin-
ished, so that the number of young
dwindled daily, and the 500 that had
been left with their parents had COM
pletely disappeared i'll six weeks, al
though other food was literally sup
piled.

Forty Bibles n Minnie.

The Bible publications of the Oxford
University Press have been issued for
800 years and can be published in $50
languages and dialects. Orders for
100000 Bibles are quite common. An
order for half a million copies can, ac-
cording to the Caxton Magazine, be
readily filed. On an average from thir-
ty to forty Bibles are furnished every
minute. There are ITO different edi-
tons Of the Oxford Bibles in English,
varying from the magnificent folio edi-
ton for pulpit use to the brilliant Bi-
BILE, the smallest edition of the Scrip
lures in the world. The largest folio
Bible printed in Oxford measures 10
by II inches, and no erratum has as
yet been found in it. The Brilliant
Text Bible" measures 3% by 21s inches
and is three-fourths of an inch thick.

Sex Of Gems

The Romans. following the Greek
mineralogists. divided gems into males
and females according to the depth or
lightness of their color. These terms
are thus alluded to by Theophrastus:
Both these (beryl. carbuncle, omphax,
crystal and amethyst and the sard are
found on breaking open certain rocks,
presenting certain differences, but
agreeing in name with each other.
For of the sard the transparent and
blood red sort is called the female,
willie TIE less transparent and darker
kind is termed the male, and the cya-
ms also is named one sort the male
and Tie other the female. but the
male is the deeper in color of the two"
The cyaDus, or cyanOs, of the an
clients is said. though probably incor-
rectly. by many modern mineralogists
to be identical with our sapphire.

when Men wore Branded.

A curious relic Of bygone times, prob
ably the only one In England. still
stands at Lancaster castle. 1t Is a
strong iron holdfast, into which the
prisoner who in olden time had been
sentenced to be branded as malefac-
tor had his hand thrust and locked.
The branding iron, after being made
red hot at the end, was pressed against
the 'brawne Of the thumb" and on be-
ing withdrawn the letter NJ branded
on the unfortunate prisoners flesh In
dicated from henceforward that he
was q malefactor. The ceremony was
performed in the presence Of the judge
and jury and in open court, and the
brander invariably turned to the judge
after he had done his work and ex-
claimed, "a fair mark, my lordP' 1t
is 100 years since the instrument was
last used on two men sentenced to i'm
prisonment for manslaughter.
Amador ledger., 1903-05-29
The Letter "NI" In Mother,

1t has been pointed out as a curious
fact that the letter "M'' in almost all
known languages = English. French,
Latin, Spanish, Greek. Hebrew, Chi
nese and the others-is to be found in
the word which stands for mother or
nurse. Perhaps this is owing to its
representing sound which exists in
every spoken speech and has the same
pronunciation in them all. 1t is also
exceedingly easy to utter and is one of
the first sounds that children make,
and it therefore naturally enters into
the appellation given to the nursing
parent in the first cries of recognition
and affection. There is no doubt at all
that ina" and the other baby names
for mother originated directly from the
child
Amador ledger., 1903-05-29
Children and Growth.

The year of greatest growth in boys
is the seventeenth; in girls, the four
teenth. While girls reach full height
in their fifteenth year, they acquire full
weight at the age of twenty. Boys are
stronger than girls from birth to the
eleventh year; then girls become supe-
rior physically to the seventeenth year,
when the tables are again turned and
remain so. From November to April
children grow very little and gain no
weight; from April to July they gain
in height, but lose in weight, and from
July to November they increase greatly
in weight, but not in height.
Amador ledger., 1903-05-29
A Religion That Grows.

The idea that Mohammedanism is
played OUT would be dangerous one
for statesmen to bank upon. 1t isn't.
Mohammed began his career as
prophet more than 600 years later than
the beginning of the Christian era At
present he has 176,OOO,OOO disciples,
more than one-third as many as there
are Christians in the world.
Nine hundred years ago there were
In India no Mohammedans Now there
are 50,000,O0O, and they are increasing
In number constantly. They are by all
sdds the most energetic subjects in
British India.
The western wave Of Mohammedan-
ism rolled up to the farthest corner of
Spain, up to the walls of Vienna, and
then began to recede, but the shrink
ing process was accompanied by ex-
pansion elsewhere. In Africa Moham-
mechanism is steadily proselyting. Rus
sia in Europe has 3,0OO,0OO followers of
the prophet, more than there are in
what is called Turkey in Europe"
Asia, however, the realm of future
growth, is the Mohammedan strong
hold. To less than 100000 native
Christians there are 1O9,OOOOOO Mo-
hammedans.-NewY York World.

East Indian MONKEYS.

A naturalist who has Travelled in the
East Indies says: ''The effect on the
monkeys Of mans appearance is most
interesting. The expression Of their
emotions is certainly almost human as
they sit and stare at him, coughing and
snarling with anger and contempt,
drawing back their heads and throw
ing the hand before the face with a
gesture of adherence and other move
ments indicative of shocked and out
ragged feelings. But predominant Is
the expression Of absolute horror,
which, coming from those We consider
our still degraded cousins, is to our su-
periority very aggravating."

The Duke. ~rhirteen Clock. -

An ingenious timekeeping arrange
ment exists today which was designed
by that famous Duke of Bridgewater
who laced South Lancashire with ca
nails and died a hundred years ago.
The duke was great stickler for pune
tuality, and he was annoyed that the
workmen On his estate at Worsley did
not return to work after dinner as
promptly as they left off when the
clock struck IL. When he remonstrat-
ed. he was told that while the work
men always heard the clock strike II,
they often failed to hear the single
stroke of 1. The Duke of Bridgewater
quickly found remedy for this diff
Guilty. He had a clock made that
would strike thirteen times an hour
after noon, and that clock proclaims 1
O'Clock with q bakers dozen of sono-
rous strokes TO this day. The 'thir-
teen clock is one of the curiosities of
Worsley all-Westminster Gazette.

Fuel In Ancient Rome.

The fuel of the ancient Romans was
almost exclusively charcoal. This was
burned in open pans, without CRATE ol
hue, and gave economical heat for liv'
ing rooms and baths. Careful expert
ment has shown that such fires yield
no considerable amount of dangerous
carbonic oxide. The inconvenience OF
chimneys was avoided, the heat could
be easily regulated, and a pan with 8
burning surface sufficed to heat o
church seating 1000 people.
