Underground Waters.

The earth contains an abundance of
water, even in places like some of our
great western plateaus where the sur
face is comparatively arid The great
est depth at which underground water
can exist is estimated to be about six
miles. Below that, it is believed, the
cavities and pores of the rock are COM
pletely closed. The amount of water
in the earth's crust is reckoned at
nearly third of that contained in the
oceans, so that it would cover the
whole surface of the globe to a depth
of from 5000 to $500 feet. The waters
underground flow horizontally after
sinking below the unsaturated zone of
the rocks, but in the sands of the Da-
kota formation, which supply remark
able artesian wells, the motion does
not exceed one or two miles a year.
The underfow toward the sea beneath
the great plains may sometimes take
the form of broad streams or moving
sheets of water, but the movement is
excessively slow.-Youth's Companion.
Amador ledger., 1903-07-31
Roth Word and Thing.

1 do not know whether it was from
overwork or why it was, but every
now and then Farrar had an unfortu-
nate habit of mechanically repeating
himself During one term, when this
habit was at its worst, we used to have
weekly lessons in the Septuagint, in
every other verse of which the Greek
words for word and "work' are in
terchanged. Regularly every Monday
morning he used to explain this confu-
sion in these words, 1.-THE reason why
'ergon' is used here instead of 'logos'
is that it is a translation of the Hebrew
word Dabar, which means both word
and thing" Those four last monosyl-
lables used to boom forth like Big Ben
striking four or like the sound of two
great amens. One Monday morning
Thersites, who sat next to me, whis
pered in my ear: eve have not had
Dabar yet. Shall get it?" I replied,
"Do if you dare" And he unblushing
ly asked why "ergon" was used instead
of "logos'' in the passage which had
just been translated. "Ahv' said our
revered master. you could not be
expected to know that. But the rea-
son." etc. 1t came out verbatim. He
walked with stately tread straight into
the open trap. Thersites remained
looking wlstfully with wide blue eyes
as in picture. ."-Cornhill Magazine.
Amador ledger., 1903-07-31
Franks of Students.

A book by Captain Markham of the
British army tells of experiences in
Westminster school, London, some
thing over half century ago. He de
scribes the 'handings" of those days.
The back of the hand was extended,
while the master, standing behind,
smote it with a rod, which "curled over
little and left cut, and the culprit,
facing the school, observed the eti-
quette of the occasion by wearing an
expression of "scornful amusement" "
Captain Markham also describes ''tan-
ming" which was administered with
the butt end of rod upon the backs of
the boys legs. He recalls the code of
honor, which was merciless to the boy
who broke his word or allowed another
to suffer for his offense, but permitted
"any amount of humbugging of mas
ter" When disinclined for school you
said, 81 don't feel very well, SIR" and
before the master inspected your
tongue you gave "the upper surface a
hard pressure with your upper teeth,
and out came tongue white enough to
satisfy any doctor"
Amador ledger., 1903-07-31

First Women on the English Stage.
1t is only with the restoration drama
that the annals of actresses on the
English stage begin. Queen Henrietta
Maria, wife of Charles l., had early
made vain attempt to introduce the
French fashion of female players into
her adopted country by the establish
ment of a French company composed
only of women in London. But the eX-
pertinent was premature, and the for
eigners were hissed and pelted off the
stage at their first performance.
Until 1860 the female parts had al
ways been taken by boys, and the Gus
tom survived even after women had
taken their place upon the stage, since
some of the more famous of the boy
actors grown into mem continued oc-
casionally to play their favorite roles
as late as the end of the seventeenth
century. Kynaston, the chief boy actor,
survived till 1899, long after the ladies
had ousted him from the principal
parts, and in 1861 Pepys, who saw him
in the t'Silent Woman" speaks of him
as ''the liveliest lady for boy he had
ever seen

Advice.

The best advice that can be given
probably is: Take all the advice you
can get and then do as you please The
successful person, or the one whom the
crowd counts successful, is being con-
stantly besieged with applications for
advice how to succeed. He is generally
incapable of giving it. The same ad-
vice, outside of a few maxims gener-
ally applicable, is seldom good for two
persons. Advice, as rule, is cheap
and about as valuable as most cheap
things. To be constantly following ad-
vice without stopping to consider its
source is the plain mark of weakness.
1t is this trait of weak human nature
which makes the business of the pat
ent medicine maker SO profitable. The
person of power is the one who neither
gives nor takes advice in generous
quantities. The world would be better
off if advice were much less plentiful.
Then, perhaps, its quality might rise in
proportion to its scarcity.-New Lon
