time.
From the Century.

From the Century.
In the days when a brownstone front
was regarded as the outer and visible sign
of ''gentility'' and when life in New York
was simpler matter than it is today, there
lived in one of the orthodox mansions a
certain highly respectable maiden lady and
two nephews, cousins, to whom she was
guardian.
A classmate and chum of the elder boy
had become the happy possessor of roos-
ter, which, the seller assured him, had a
"big gamy streak to him." Infamed by
this eulogy, both boys were wild for a
s'match,' and, not having the means
wherewith to purchase an antagonist, they
put their heads together to compass the
borrowing of one, with the following re-
suits:
The younger cousin, an unusually polite
and gentle little boy, was dispatched on the
first holiday to the grocery where the fam
lily dealt ostensibly to order chicken for
dinner. "But." he said, pointing to a
coop of live fowls, ''my aunt wants to see
it before you kill it.
The grocer assented and forthwith drew
from the coop what he considered deslr-
able bird. But the boy would have none
of it. He had set his heart on rainbow
colored rooster with enormous comb and
tail.
"Why," said the grocer, "that is the
very toughest old customer in the bunch. .
"My aunt likes them tough, said the
gentle little boy.
In couple of hours the rooster was
borne back to the store, one eye shut, his
comb torn and bloody and but one feather
of his beautiful tail left. But he was
growing so triumphantly that small crowc
followed him. He had suffered, but the
bird with the ''big gamy streak to him
was nowhere.
"My aunt is much obliged to you,
said the polite and gentle little boy to th'
astonished grocer "She can't decide to
day, but she would like to look at hin

Signalling Under Water.
From Golfers Weekly.

From Golfers Weekly
The cause of three -fourths of the ship
wrecks and loss of life at sea seems about
to be removed 1t is not wire or even
the air, but the water this time that is
used to transmit sound vibrations. For
some weeks there has been installed on
the steamers of the Metropolitan Company
of Boston an apparatus which may yet
make it possible for the vessel beating
about the coast in storm to know where
the rocks and shoals are when the fog will
not permit the light to be seen and the
noise of the wind browns the sound of the
bell buoy or the siren; for battleship to
know of the approach Of a submarine and
fishing smack of the approach of liner
off the Banks of Newfoundland.
The apparatus is extremely simple. 1t
amounts to nothing more or less than ring
ing a bell under water, which the pilot or
captain can hear telephonically. Screwed
on both sides of the vessels hull are two
receivers, which are connected by wires
with the wheel house. These receive the
vibrations from the bell hanging in the
water on the side of the hghtship. The
navigator has only to put the ear-piece tc
his ear and ascertain on which side the vi.
brations are the louder, in order to know
the direction of the lighthouse and his OWL
position in the fog with comparative accu.
racy
For fishing vessels ball receiver has
been provided and this is used also to get
more delicate intonations aboard steel
vessel. The value of the apparatus was
put to good test recently when the
steamer James S. Whitney was approach
ing the Boston lightship on her return
from New York. The lighthouse was OBJ
scured by rain and fog. Thanks to the
signal apparatus, the captain Immediately
heard the bell and got his direction. 1t
was not until five minutes after that he
heard the lightship's whistle for the first
time.

MeerSchaunn.
much y

Meerschaum, the beautiful white earth
which is used for expensive pipes, is found
in exceptional quantities in the village of
Brussa, in Asiatic Turkey, where 1000
small mines are worked.
Most of the miners are Persians and
Kurds They dig hole into the earth
till they strike bed of red clay in which
the meerschaum lies in kidney shaped
pieces, usually about as big as walnut
and rarely larger than an apple. After
piece is dug out of the clay it is cleaned by
scraping the surface with a knife and is
then ready for sale.
Every Friday the dealers gather, and
the meerschaum is sold in open market.
There are four qualities birem-
birlik, pambukl and dakme. The buyers
come from Eskichehr, and about dozen
of them control the market. They wrap
the meerschaum carefully in cotton and
sell it for high prices. Only about g.
600 pounds of Eskichehr meerschaum are
obtained in year.

Sarah's Gloves.

A family in the south had oal-black
cook named Sarah, whose husband was
suddenly killed in quarry accident. For
the time being her grief was allayed by
the preparations for an elaborate funeral,
and on the day of this event, so dear to
negroes who desire to show their import
ance, she appeared before her mistress in
deepest black, but on her hands were
pair of white gloves, such as soldiers wear
at dress parade and guard mount.
"Why, aunty,' exclaimed her mistress,
''what made you get white gloves?''
Sarah drew herself up Indignantly and
said in the chilliest tones, sDon't you

Brides Must Not Be Kissed.

In Switzerland the bride, on her we'd
ding day, will permit no one-not even
parents-to kiss her upon the lips. In
many of the provinces the cook pours hot
water over the threshold after the bridal
couple have gone, in order to keep it warm
for another bride.
A favorite wedding day in Scotland is
December 81, so that the young couple
can leave their old life with the old year
and began their married life with the new
one-surely pretty idea.
The Italians permit no wedding gifts
that are sharp or pointed, from which prac-
tice emanates our superstition that the gift
of knife sewers friendship. One of the
most beautiful of all marriage customs is
that of the bride Immediately after the
ceremony finging her bouquet among her
maiden friends. The one who catches it
is supposed to be the next bride.

Leaving clean and pure the heart;
Reason, reason, CLEANS for me,
Sounding DER the land and sea.
See the CLEAN, the shining sun!
Reason, reason, thou hath won.
Only shadow lay across the way,
Fading fading. faint and grey;
Leaving bright the future day,
Far and WIDE out of sight,
Reason answers just and right.
Out of evil God brings good unknown to us,
And reason awakes the beautiful trust,
For justice, truth and good must sway,
Evil to reason and truth give way.
Baltimore, Nd, NOrentbcr Il? 1908.
