There must be a great flowing
river of ink annually spilled in
Washington, to say nothing of the
forests of cedar and mines of lead
and graphite used in pencils, and
many tons of horses hoofs and of
gum arabic in the clarified form of
mucilage," remarked inquiringly
a gentleman to a friend in the
United States capital the other day.
"If all the ink used in the
executive departments was poured
down Pennsylvania avenue at one
time the people would have to take
to small boats, while the mucilage
used would make a good-sized
pond, for, in addition to that used
in the business, all of the hundreds
of millions of postage stamps
annually turned out are gummed at
the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing.
millions of pins r used
annually. If all the pencils and
penhol1 ers were piled into a heap
in the White Lot they would make
a fine big bonfire on a cold night.
The Interior Department is one
of the largest in the city and it uses
annually 10000 lead pencils, 6,925
gross of steel pens, 5000 quarts of
black ink and $500 quarts of
mucilage."

Der of the present Legislature of this
state has introduced a bill provid-

Missouri F.; while it is not at all prob

of the present Legislature would

regret to know hat such a narrow

probable that Mr.. Scott is annoyed
by having to ride in train coaches

Owen McCarton, a rich %recluse
of Oceanic, New Jersey, died re-
Gently, aged 70 years. For 8 years
he had not crossed the thresh-
hold of his dwelling between sun
rise and sunset, because of an
election bet. During the campaign
of 1872 between Grant and Greedy,
McCarton was one of the latter's
most enthusiastic supporters. He
made a bet that if Grant was elected
he would not leave his house,
except during the night, as long as
he lived. Mr.. McCarton lived up
to his wager.

"Some customers have nonsensical no
lions about the proper way to ventilate
a hat" said fashionable halter. In
fact, they are so whimsical about 1t
that we make the hats without ven
tilator and try TO suit the wishes Of
the customer after he has handed his
money 10 the salesman. Many custom
ers will not have hat ventilated at
all. Well, they miss great deal OF
comfort and take long chances for
badness I'm old age. The English style.
and the only one that some buyers will
adopt, is ring OF perforated holes In
the crown Of the hat. In my opinion II
is just as well to have no ventilator at
all as to put 1t there. The best way Is
TO have two holes, one on each side OF
the hat just above the band. Then
you get good circulation all the time.
There are ways Of punching the holes
artistically so that they do not detract
from the appearance OF the hat. But
you would be- surprised at the number
OF men who will not have them, some
because ii Is not fashionable and 9th
ers because they think the hat will not
wear so well."-New York Times.

Why Gold In Rare.

Why is gold so rare? Simply because
II Is heavy. There are only two metals
that are heavier-namely, platinum and
iridium. Remember that at the begin
ming the earth was body of gas. BY
gradual condensation II became liquid,
while now the whole Of its mass save
only an outer crust much thinner In
proportion TO the whole bulk than is the
shell OF an egg would be fluid but for
the fact that 1t is held together by ire
mendous pressure. Naturally In the
course Of its formation about a center
OF attraction the weightier particles
composing the globe gathered about
that center. Accordingly we find that
the earth as a whole weighs FIVE times
as much as water, while the rocks
forming the crust are only about two
and half times as heavy as water.

Origin of the Tomato.

The English word of direct Indian
origin most frequently in use is to-
mato. A native of tropical or sub
tropical America, II was cultivated by
the subjects Of the Incas and Monte
zumas, as well as by the other semi
civilized natives, long before the ad-
vent Of Europeans on this hemisphere
under the name OF tumatl or tomatl.
Though introduced into Europe al
most as early as its congener, the po-
tato, II was many years before 1t made
Its way into popular favor. There 1t
was first known to the English as love
apple, to the French as pomme damour
and to the Italians as pomi d'amore.
and these names are still In use, per-
petuating the old, widespread notion
that its use az food had an influence
on the amatory passions.
