The Little Darling.

Some flowers are universal favor
ties. OF these the mignonette Is
one. Its original home was north
Africa, from which it found its way
to Italy and then to- Paris. Here
Lord Bateman met it in ZIP and,
being enamored Of it, brought
some seeds to England, where he
was thus its introducer. Delighted
with its unassuming look and choice
fragrance, he called it mignonette,
or little darling" The strange
thing is that, though this word is
French, the plant is not known by 1t
in France. In that country it is
styled LIE Reseda odorant.- which is

"The host get nervous as he saw
the colonel clumping and Gathering

was afraid they would be scratched

The Straiuhtest Line,

The strangc>t thing i'll nature or
art is ray of light when passing
through Il medium of uniform den
>ity; hence The eve is enabled to test
the straightness of an edge or tube
by holding it as nearly as possible
coincident with a ray of light, such
parts as depart from straightness
then intcrsepting the ray and caus-
ing shade to be cast upon other
parts. 1t is not known at what early
period in The history of mankind the
discovery was made that straight
ness could be thus determined. Il is
certain that thousands of mechanics
use the method daily without being
able to give Il rational explanation
of it. This primitive mode of test
ing stralghtness, on account of its
great convenience and ACCURACY, is
likely to continue in use to the end
of the world.

How to Make Magic Ink That Disap-
pears When Rubbed.

BOYS and girls sometimes amuSe
themselves with what is called IN
visible ink" fluid that makes no
more color on paper than water
docs, but which becomes visible at
once if YOU expose ii To heat. An
ink of that kind is a great curiosity
TO persons who have never before
seen il. but a greater curiosity still
is an ink that may be quickly made
TO disappear by rubbing ii. 10 make
this fluid get u little starch Gust
the common kind used by the Iaun-
dress) and mix it with water until it
becomes of about the consistency OF
cream. Then to it add few drops
of tincture of iodine, and it is ready
for use.
Dip your pen into it and write
few words on ordinary paper. The
writing will be of a dark brown col
or and will dry very quickly. 1t will
look exactly like brown ink, and
when YOU tell your friends thtt YOU
are going to make the writing dis
appear simply by rubbing your hand
or your handkerchief over it they
will probably look incrcdulous, for
it has permanent appearance, just
as the black ink of a letter has.
But rub it and every trace of the
writing will vanish as quickly as if
YOUR hand had magic in it,

The Superintendent Was Willing.

Every one in northern New
Hampshire remembers Superintend-
ent Dodge, the former division su-
perintendent of the White Mountain
branch of the Boston and Maine
railroad, and his ready wit. In one
of the section gangs was an en-
pIovee who was rather an eccentric
character and was ambitious to be-
come an engineer, but possessed no
qualifications for the job. One day
his companions urged him to write
to the superintendent for chance
TO "run" on the road, and in due
time came this answer from Mr..
Dodge, 81 have no objection to your
running on the road if YOU will be
careful to keep out of the way of
the trains. boston Herald.

A Clever Trick.

Half fill IA glass with pure clear
water. Drop into the water the new
est, brightest twenty-five cent piece
YOU can find and cover the top of
the glass with plate.
Then invert the combination so
that the glass stands upside down
in the plate. Do this as quickly and
as deftIy as possible, 50 that the wa
ter may not escape from the glass
Here is where the mystery comes
in: 4 twenty-five cent piece appears
to be floating on top Of the water,
while another one seems to be rest
ing on the bottom in the plate. In
place of one piece of money it looks
as if You had two.
The illusion is caused by the phe-
nomenon known as the refraction of
light.

Every one, Young and old. has
heard Of the hanging gardens of
Babylon, but few persons perhaps
know how they were constructed.
They were about -four acres in ex-
tent and were built on a base sup
ported by pillars. Ther rose in ter
races to height of 800 feet. and
it is said that they looked from
distance like. a great pyramid cover
ed with trees. Strange to say, they
owed their existence to the whim of
a woman, Queen Amytis, who grew
so tired Of the plains of Babylon
and pined 50 much for the hills of
her native Media that her husband.
King Nebuchadnezzar, had the gar
dens built to please her.

MINES AS AN INVESTMENT.

one OF the most prominent mining
operators of the country has been Civ
ing New York paper warning for the
public against investment in what the
west knows as wildcat" mining
stocks, and the advice is timely though
it may be doubted whether the specu-
Iative public will take it seriously.
Mining stocks as an investment and
as a speculation are distinctly different
propositions. If a man buys into a
mine for substantial returns he can sat
isfy himself as to its solidity quite as
easily as he could study the value of a
commercial investment. The capital
ization of the concern, the character of
its management. the amount of ere in
sight. the facilities for development and
the cost of mining, shipping and smelt-
ing the ore are not obscure problems.
If the investment offered is only a
prospect, a piece of ground that offers a
chance for successful development. any
first-class mining engineer can tell from
investigation whether the prospect is
worth developing or not; and he can
estimate with reasonable accuracy the
percentage of hazard involved in open
ing up the ground. In that sense, the
science of mining affords protection to
careful investors and reduces the spec
ulative factor to a minimum in legiti-
mate operations.
The trouble with most eastern buy
ers of mining stocks is that they do not
take the precautions in such ventures
that they would in any other branch
of business. Men who would not think
