Grace KNIVES.

There Is n curious class of knives Of
the sixteenth century the blades Of
which have engraved OH one side the
musical notes to the benediction of the
table, or grace before meat, and on the
other the grace after meat. These
knives usually went in sets Of four,
representing four part harmony Of
bass, tenor, alto and treble. They were
kept in IN upright case Of stamped
leather and were placed before the
singers according to the adaptation Of
each one to his particular part. AS
may be supposed, the inscription was
usually In Latin. The following speci-
men is taken from actual knives Of the
period: "I'ro tuis beneficiis Deus,
gratias agimus tibi' (F'or thy good gifts,
o God, we thank thee).

chinese Mohamme

A traveller In the upper Tangtse prov
inces Of China found In the town Of
Hmganfu many Chinese Mohamme-
dams who keep up communication with
their fellow religlonists of Arabia. A
missionary who has lived among them
for years declares that they are very
Quarrelsomc, much given to boasting
Of their Turkestan origin, and, In spite
of the prophets injunction', drink
great deal of wine. This is usually the
case with Chinese Mo.ammedans. In
Hinganfu, and more especially In Kan
sub, a few Of their spiritual teachers
keep up their knowledge of Arabic and
are occasionally visited by Arab or
central Asian mollahs, who follow the
Old Arab trade route Ey wa of HaEli,
by which the Arabs originally traded
and propagated their faith. These mol
lahs visit every country In the east
where the followers of the prophet are
to be found and keep UP the ties of the
faithful with Islam. AS they often
stir up dissatisfaction and fomcnt dis
turbances against the Chinese authori-
ties. the latter regard them with sus-
piCion

A Like That Stores IIent.

There is lake that stores the SUMS
heat at Medeve, in northeastern
Transylvania. Thick beds Of rock salt
underlie the district. and a similar for
nation appears upon the surface In
mounds, some Of them over 100 feet in
height. Among these the lake rests
at fully 1,50O feet above sea level
Upon the surface its water Is almost
sweet, four inches below there Is a
twentieth Of salt, at two feet there Is
one-fifth, and at FIVE feet the water Is
practically saturated with salt. In
September, after n summers sunshine,
the thermometer showed the lakes
waters to be 80 degrees four feet
down. Even by April, after whole
season Of wintry weather. 1t had only
been reduced to 80 degrees. Expert
mcnts have proved that this is due
to absorption and retention Of the suns
heat by the salt saturated solution.

HOW SYYnllOHNn DriEk.

OF course we know thai swallows
drink as they skim over the surface OF
water. We have seen how here and
there the water ripplcS OH pond
when swallows are gracefully skim
ming to ana fro. One day I sat down
beside a small pond where every even
ing many barn swallows came to battle
and drink on the surface of the CLASSY
water. With sketch book and pencil in
hand 1 closely watched the birds, and
YOU may imagine my delight {, see just
how they managed TO touch AMI dip up
the water as they came within Il few
steps Of me. You see. the swallow
takes up water IN It's lower bill just as
you would dip up little water in Il
spoon or in the hollow Of your hand
while you glided over the surface in n
boat. Only the under half of the open
bill touches the water. If the upper
half were also to touch, the water
would be forced out OIL either side in
stead Of being scooped up into the bill.

Climbing a Wire Fence.

ShiiipAiS "uC EShSS'
To sec fat man climbing a barb
wire fence Is sight long to be re-
membered. After looking up and
down to see If there is not some place
where he can crawl under or 60
around, he carefully selects the stout
est post, steps glngerly on the lower
wire and climbs slowly to the top,
holding up his coat taifs so they will
pot snag on barb.
At last le reaches the top and tri-
umphantiy, though with much putting,
gets one foot over the highest wire and
begins to descend. But confidence has
made him overbold, and in bringing
the other foot over, the one that is
planted OH the wire slips, and, after
bouncing up and down q time or two
on the wires, he bounds to the ground,
luckily on the side that he was try
ing to make.
AS he limps slowly away, saying
words that do not rhyme with fudge"
he realizes that since barb wire Is
one of the modern weapons Of warfare
war is all that Sherman said.

A song of bygone generation re-

that "filly" is connected with "fllle."
AS matter Of fact, the word ally" is
Of Scandinavian origin and is really q
diminutive Of "foal." Shakespeare
makes Puck disguise himself in "like-

For tho man who calls trains in the grand

Tho man who calls trains must be patient
and willing
To all kinds OF folks to reply.
Though some OF the uuestioners seem to

And some on good manners are shy.
Say. does my rebate
Expire If I'm late?
Does that train come back
That ran down the track?
I'd like 10 know why
It's ten cents for pie
Has that train went yet
That runs to Wilimette?
Please. when are we due
In Kalamazoo?
Pray. where can / check
My trunk for Quebec?
It's questions like these that they fire in
rotation
At the man who calls trains in the grand
