THE COLOR OF SNOW.
Although 1t Appears White, II Il
Really IA Delicate blue.

Although II Appears White, II Ii
Really Delicate blue.
Science, while it gets at the marrow
and essence Of things, apsets many
pretty decisions and fancies. We have
been taught from childhood that snow
is white, and the impression conveyed
to our brains through the medium of
sight appears to settle the question be-
You'd the possibility Of doubt, yet,
though the Judgment of our senses is
to the contrary, it can be scientifically
demonstrated that its true color is blue.
1t is faint and delicate cerulean tint,
to be sure, but decided enough to make
the scientific declaration that snow ia
blue one that is positive and irrefuta-
BILE.
1t is well known fact that pure wa
ter in small quantities is perfectly
transparent. In large masses it is dis
tinctly blue. Snow is simply the crys-
tails OF pure water. The reflection from
these is that of all the colors of the
rainbow or prism. but by uniting be-
fore they reach the eye cause snow to
appear to be white. But" you will
say, tile single crystal also appears to
be white" This is true beyond ques-
ton, the reason being that that which
appears to be single crystal is in
reality multitude of microscopic
threads, prisms, lines and dots.
In spite of their apparent great d.
versity in form and shape, which may
vary from hairlike crystals to perfect
stars of beautiful, delicate and 1ntri-
cute designs, they may be said to be
absolutely uniform in original delinea-
ton. that Of the hexagonal prism. The
primitive form is that Of straight
needle Of ice, radiating from central
nucleus, always at symmetrical dis
tances and at angles of either 90 or 12O
degrees. What may on casual exami-
nation be taken for exceptions to this
rule are the little disks which OCCASION
ally fall. These on close examination
proved to be six sided planes, the angle
still being 40 degrees.

Thrlce-a-week New York World.

The Thrice-a-week World has
made special arrangements for the
year 1908. Its already great news
service has been extended and, as
heretofore, it will report all impor-
tant Events promptly, accurately and
inpartially.
An original and striking feature
oil the Thrice-a Week World in 1905
will be its serial publication of the
strongest and best fiction that has
ever appeared in the columns of any
newspaper. The novels already ar
ranged for, and which are by writer's
known throughout the world are:
Cardigan" by Robert w. Cham
bers; Before The Dawn" by JOS
eph A. Altsheler. "The Reds of
the Midi" by Felix Gras. THE
Cardinals Rose" by Van Tassel
Sutphen. THE Blazed Trail" by
Stewart Edward White.
The Thrice-a Week Worlds reeu-
lar subscription price is only $l.OO
per year, and this pays for 1876
papers. We offer this unequaled
newspaper and the Democrat to-
gether one year for $2.l5. The
regular subscription price of the
two papers is $3.50. If

POLITE TO THE LAST.
A Maid In Whom Courte.y Was
Rulinn Paaalon

A Maid In Whom Courtesy Was q
Ruling Passion.
The Ellen in Samuel Lamar Blanch-
ards excellent but now forgotten book,
Sketches From Life" had probably
never heard Of Emerson's saying,
There is always time enough for cour-
tesy," but she embodied the great
sage's principle in her daily intercourse
with her fellow beings. Politeness was
a ruling passion with her. To the fish
erman's boy she would answer, Eyes,
sir; soles, sir, If 1t is quite convenient"
Mr.. Blanchard lodged with Ellen's mis-
tress, and one day the manservant Of
friend brought n parcel of books.
The man delivered the books into III
lens hands; then, remembering he was
Entrusted with letter also, he search
ed his pockets in vain for the missive.
Ellen, waiting in the hall, was greatly
distressed.
"Oh, pray, sir, do not trouble your
self!'
Trouble myself" exclaimed the serv-
ant. "If have letter to deliver I've
got to deliver it." And he continued
his search.
"l'm sorry to keep you waiting"
broke out the apologize Ellen.
why, 1t is l who am keeping you
waiting" returned the puzzled servant.
What are you talking about? Well.
can't find the letter."
"Oh. SIR" entreatei the maid, never
mind! l dare say 1t doesn't signify.
Another time will do quite us WELL"
Mr.. Blanchard's landlndy was taken
sick, and every day the lodger's In
quirles were answered by the faithful
Ellen in somewhat this wise:
my missis' compliments, sir, and
she had very Indifferent night" or,
"Aly missis' compliments, sir, and she
feels very weak today"
One sad day when Ellen appeared
with the breakfast her eyes were red
and her lips quivered. In response to
the usual question she sobbed out:
my missis' compliments. sir, and
she died this morning about O'Clock"

a TALE OF BONANZA DAYS.

How "a Chance Remark of James
Flood Ruined His Gardener.
In the old days of excitement when
mining stocks were on the jump and
men became miilionaires over one days
dabbling an incident occurred at the
country residence Of James c. Flood in
Menlo when Il fairly we'll to do farmer
found himself without home IN the
short period Of one week. The hans
name was Hank, and, being nrst
class gardener, he readily found en-
ployment about the residence Of the
wealthy owners Of mansions. In this
way he was employed at the Flood
residence. Hank was lettering about
the garden one Saturday evening as
the proprietor, in company with WIS.,
ltor, was looking over the stock.
Mr.. Flood, who had just stepped out
Of the hog corral, casually remarked to
his friend that he would be willing to
make bet that "Con would so up to
300 before Christmas" Hank con-
strued "Con" to mean Consolidated
Virginia, and, taking the tip which he
thought would make him millionaire,
he disposed Of his holdings of $50 acres
Of fine land, his stock and, in brief,
everything he had on earth except his
wife and four bright little Hanks. The
proceeds he invested in Consolidated
Virginia stock, which was then selling
at $75 share.
Christmas came, but instead OF "Con"
going up to $500 it fell to, SIS. The
man was pauper. In lnmenting his
loss he incidentally mentioned to q
friend Of Flood how he lost his all.
Flood, who was generous to q. fault,
sent for Hank and had him repeat hid
story. When he learned Of his chance
remark about "Con going up to 800
before Christmas" he fairly shook with
laughter and explained what It meant.
It was in reference to the gift of a
young SOW. made present to him by
Con O'Connor. who in the fun of the
thing had called the pig Con. The bet
alluded to the sow's increasing in
weight to 800 pounds before Christmas
and not to Con Virginia.
Having enjoyed the Joke, and after
joshing Hank, the noble hearted Flood
bought back the ranch for Hank and
recompensed him for all his losses.
The originality Of the Joke and the
knowledge of the penalty paid by an
eavesdropper were Floods reward
