An Embarrassing Situation,

Mr.. Arthur S. Raikes, the first sec
rotary of the British embassy and
charge d'affaires in the interium be
tween Lord Pauncefote's death anc
Sir Mortimer Durand's appointment tt
the WashinF..on post, is the tallesi
man at the national capital. His slend
er figure accentuates the considerably
more than six feet of height, and wher
he dons the uniform of his rank anc
attends an official or social function he
towers far above everybody else. Al
the White House functions he is one
of the most conspicuous guests, fol
his height renders him easily seen afal
off in the crowds. where ordinarily II
is serious matter to get separated
from your friends.
Mr.. Raikes has fund of dry humor
One night. during the excitement over
the ruptupre of relations between Rus
STA and Japan, correspondent hac
occasion to seek Mr. Raikes to ascer
tain some forgotten facts. It was late
and everybody had retired. The cor
respondent was persistent. Soon 6
window was raised and the first secre
tary's head emerged. The correspond
emit stammered an apology for awak
ing him.
"Mr. Raikes." he said. "this is very
embarrassing to me-"
Raikes paused for a minute. Their
he slowly replied: well. that's the
way it looks to me. 1t Is embarrassing
very truly So" And the window went
down.

Bees Too Smart for Him.

One of our neighbors has mum.
Der of years past derived very sat.
isfactory revenue from the industry
of his bees. His farm is a village lot
so by 200 feet, in sheltered corner
of which he keeps a few colonies OF
bees. With the numerous families
he has always lived in the most per,
feet harmony of purpose, and each
individual seems to know and respect
him, however warlike they may ap
pear to strange faces. When all the
boxes were filled this season they
were replaced by others, as is the
usual custom. This operation did moi
commend itself to the bees, as II
taxes their proverbial industry to toe
great an extent in a season of few
flowers, like the past.
Seemingly, council was held and
the question of a winters supply OF
food duly considered and soon carried
into effect. Some wise bee found 6
small hole in the attic, where 100 OF
more pounds of honey was stored
At once all the forces of the colonies
we're summoned. and with determine
-tion that knows no failure they trans
ferred every particle of honey from
the garnet to the new boxes on the
hives. A few days ago, when our bee
farmer went to the garnet for sup
ply to fill an order, he found he had
been robbed. No, it was not robbery!
The bees got back what had been tax
en- from them. 1t was theirs.-New
England Homestead.

Sword Evolution.

A great many modern sword forms
are really nothing more than descend
ants, or, rather, improvements, on the
peculiar boomerang shaped sword of
the ancient Egyptians, the parent of
the scimitar. yataghan, falchion and
saber. Africa, south of the Sahara,
was perhaps the greatest museum for
old swords in the world. In the Su-
dan and central Africa the old sickle
and boomerang shaped swords, which
the ancestors of the modern Negroes
received centuries ago from the Egyp-
tians. were still made and in use.
Moreover, the knights of Malta we're at
enc time famous swordmakers. and
their peculiar long, double edged
blades. such as the crusaders carried,
were exported to the Barbary states,
where they were in large demand.
From there they were taken across the
Sahara to the Sudan and exchanged for
ivory. and it was on this account that
they were still found in central Africa.
In the sixteenth century peasant
living on the outskirts of Toledo,
SPAIN invented the famous Toledo ra-
pier, which soon became the popular
weapon all over Europe. Prior to that
time the swords used In Europe were
heavy affairs for hewing, slashing and
cutting. but with the advent of the
Toledo napier men had to learn to
thrust as well as to hack and slash.
With the rapier came the art of fenc-
ing, the sixteenth and seventeenth CEN
turtles being the age Of the sword par
excellence.

Seven Wonders of the World.

There have been different objects
classed as the Seven Wonders of the
World at different periods of the
worlds history. The seven wonders
of antiquity were: The Pyramids of
Egypt, the Hanging Gardens of Baby
Ion, the Tomb Of Mausolos, the Tenn
pie Of Diana at Ephesus, the Colossus
'of Rhodes, the Statue of Zeus (Jupi-
teri by Phidias, the Pharos of Egypt,
or else the Palace of Cyrus cemented
with gold. These have been strung
together in the following lines, which
can be committed to memory without
much difficulty:
The pyramids first, which in Egypt
were laid;
Next Babylon's garden, for Amytis
made;
Then Mausolo's tomb of affection and
guilt;
Fourth, the Temple of Diana, in Ephe
sus built;
The Colossus of Rhodes, cast in brass.

BERLIN's SEWAGE.
1t Is All Turned to Profitable Use
Nothing Wasted.

1t Is All Turned to Profitable Use
Nothing Wasted.
The sewage of the city of Berlin is
disposed of by conveying the liquid
matter to two sewage farms about
eight miles from the city. the one on
the north being known as Blanden-
burg and the other as Mallowe.
The German plan consists in depos-
iting the sewage up on the farm and
discharging it at various points. so as
to make the distribution equal and
uniform. At various points wells, or
reservoirs, are established, and by the
use of simple wooden appliance the
sewage is held or discharged. as the
management of the farm requires.
The contents of the little reservoirs
are spread by gravity over small sew
age fields. the surfaces of which are
practically as nature left them.
Vegetables, fruit trees. shrubs and
things of similar growth assist in
taking up the sewage by natural proc
esses, and the earth does the rest by
absorption, the air and atmosphere as
sisting. The organic matter is thus
discharged in vegetable growth, and
the liquid is carried off through the
pores of the earth. The farm is gar
den of all the beautiful things that
nature produces. and the product is
sold on the provision counters OF the
city.
The interesting feature of this par
ticular farm is that the eff1uent or re-
sulting water is so purified that it is
collected in a reservoir and pumped
thence back to Berlin. to replenish
the domestic water supply.
Sanitary engineers advise alternate
use of these filtration beds for the
purpose, among others, as is stated, of
giving the beds "a rest" up on the
theory that they will do better work
if used only intermittently.-Lon
Daily Mail.

MatrImonlaI Arithmetic.

In his fatherly way, you have
good deal to learn about matrimonial
arithmetic. AS you say, your salary
Is sufficient for two, and you think
you clinch the argument when you
add that one and one make two.
That's all right in business, but mat
rimonial arithmetic is one OF the most
confusing things that ever happened.
In the first place, the minister takes
the two of you and makes you one.
That would seem to make 1t easier
for you, but the history of the world
