COPPERPLATE ENGRAVING.
The Art Was Discovered Through the
Merest Accident.

Every one has noticed on his visiting
card the extremely delicate lines of
his name, and almost every one knows
that they are produced by printing
from an engraved copperplate. Like
many other things Of use and beauty,
this art Of copperplate engraving was
discovered through the merest accident
by the goldsmiths of Florence In the
fifteenth century. 1t Is historical
fact, however, that one day an engrav-
er on gold, wishing to take proof of
his work. made the usual sulphur cast
and then filled up the lines with lamp
black, thus enabling him to see exactly
how his work looked. While occupied
in doing this it occurred to him that
possibly the same results could be OBJ
tanned by filling up the original en-
craving with lampblack instead Of
making an impression of it and filling
up that. Struck with the idea, he put
it into practical use, and with a little
damp paper succeeded in getting fair
impression from the engraving
The discovery was communicated to
other workers in the art, and they
hailed it with joy, as 1t saved all the
arduous trouble of making sulphur
casts, but they never saw the full value
of the discovery, and consequently the
art of plate engraving lay for almost
a century before its true import was
discovered and brought out in all Its
great and beautiful results. Today col
lectors of plate engravlngs rave over
the crude results of earlier times and
search the world for examples Of these
early masters to add to their collec-
lions. Many of these collections have
been presented to museums, where
they may be seen and appreciated by
the people.

No prediction can be made safely as
to future earthquakes in any particular
region. If any conjecture is warrant
ed, it Is merely that regions which are
known to have contracted the earth
quake habit are, on the whole, more
likely to quake in the future than are
regions which have long been free from
seismic disturbances. No part of the
continent seems less likely to be shak-
en- than the Mississippi basin. Yet there
were disastrous earthquakes about the
mouth of the Ohio river in 1S11-13
Regions covered with thick layers Of
clay, sand, gravel, glacial drift, etc, like
much of the basin of the upper Missis-

than those where solid rock comes to
the surface, for the loose material acts
as a cushion to deaden the vibrations
which come to the surface from the
solid rock below.-The World Today.

For many years Lord Gardenstone
was one OF the characters OF Edin-
burgh and as such received place
among the famous Rays portraits. He
was represented riding on an old horse,
with dog N front and boy dressed
in a kilt behind. A detailed account
Of the picture states that Kay por-
trayed him as, what he really was,
very timid horseman, mounted on an
old hack, which he had selected for its
want of spirit, preceded by his favorite
dog Smash and followed by a highland
boy, whose duty 1t was to take charge
of the horse on arriving at parliament
house. His eccentricity took the even
stranger form of strong affection for
pigs. He became so much attached to
one that he allowed it to share his bed,
and when good feeding and rapid
growth made it a rather cumbersome
bedfellow 1t was still lodged In COM
Portable quarters In the apartment.
During the daytime 1t followed him
about like dog. One morning a farm
er had occasion to visit his lordship
and, being shown into his bedroo N.
stumbled upon some object. That OBJ
ject gave vent to an uncompromising
grunt and squeal of complaint, and
from the bed there proceeded voice,
ut is just bit SOW, poor beast, and l
laid my breeches on 1t to keep it warm
all night."-Dundee Advertiser.

CLEVER ANSWERS.
Cases where They Won Promotion In
Civil and MiIitar,' Life.

A long list might be given of men
who have owed their Advancement In
life to clever answer given at the
right moment. One of Napoleon's vet
Grams, who survived his master many
years, was wont to recount with great
glee how he once picked up the en-
peror's cooked hat at review, when
the latter, houtnoticing that he was
a private, said carelessly, THANK you.
captain" I'm what regiment, sire"
instantly inquired the quick witted
soldier. Napoleon, perceiving his mis-
take, answered with a smile, "In my
guards, for l see you know how to be
prompt" The newly made officer re-
ceived his commission next morning.
A somewhat similar anecdote Is re-
lated of Marshal Suvaroff, who when
receiving a dispatch from the hands of
a Russian sergeant who had greatly
distinguished himself on the Danube
attempted to confuse the messenger by
a series of whimsical questions, but
found him fully equal to the occasion.
How many fish are there in the sea"
asked Suvaroff. "All that are not
caught yet" was the answer. How
far is it to the moon?" Two of your
exceliency's forced marches" what
would you do if you saw your men Civ
ing way in battle?" 81 would tell them
that there was plenty of whisky be-
hind the enemy's line" Bafiled at all
points, the marshal ended with, "What
is the difference between your colonel
and myself?" my colonel cannot
make me lieutenant, but your excel
lency has only to say the word" Il
say it now" answered Suvaroff, land

Names Female warrior.

During the war between the states
when it became necessary to draft
men for the army a recruiting officer,
Parker Mears by name, went to an
island off the coast of Maine called
LIQUIDS island. 1t claimed to be plan
tation. AS the boat neared the shore
tall, brawny female, the mother of sew
eral stalwart sons, appeared on the
rocks and as the officer set foot on
shore sternly demanded his business.

She Immediately began to pelt him
with big. hard potatoes, and they came
so fast and furiously that he was
obliged to fee to the boat and row
away as fast as possible. Mr.. Mears,
when a little excited, suffered badly.
Relating the experience, he ended with,

Eating Ants For Dessert.

Savages, we know, indulge In such
luxuries as grubs and locusts, but for
civilized white man to finish up his
dinner with a dish Of raw ants seems
too nasty to be credible. Yet in Mexico
1t Is the custom-and a custom adopted
by plenty Of colonials and visitors. The
ant eaten is called the honey ant and
is perhaps as curious an insect as lives.
With tiny head and legs, 1t has a
huge body as big as large pea. and
this is yellow and swollen with excel
lent honey. In each nest there are 300
or 400 of these honey ants, which are
attended by thousands Of others. The
honey ants hang on to the roofs of the
cells in the nest while the others feed
them. They are, in fact, living store
houses of winter food. An observer
says that if one Of the honey ants falls
from his perch worker will go and
pick him up and replace him. This
feat is equivalent to a man walking up
the face of cliff carrying large buff
falo or cart horse on his back.

THE BEST SLEEP.
1t Is That Which One Cannot Avoid
without n Struggle.

When debating the question, How
much sleep is needed? one must keep
in mind that the best sleep. indeed the
only healthy kind. is that which one
cannot avoid without struggle. 1t is
the sleep that always follows on weari-
ness; it is not that which is obtained
by difficulty. If a person slept for three
hours right away and then awoke re-
freshed-that is, with no further in
clination to sleep-he would not then
be in need of it. His proper course
would be to arise and engage in work
But he must be prepared to sleep at
any time in the day when the longing
occurs. To the latter rule there is one
exception. Let us suppose that one
has acquired the habit of sleeping half
the night and lying half awake during
the remaining half. Such a habit can
be best broken by rising after the first
sleep and refraining from nap in the
day. When the bed hour arrives the
chances are that the victim of insom-
mia will be so sleep hungry that he
will not wake until the proper hour for
rising.
IN any case IL Is great mistake TO
turn over on the other side and remain
in half conscious state. Indeed, it is
more serious mistake than many
would believe, says Home Notes. The
brain is now in a peculiar state, more
closely resembling the hypnotic than
would be possible under any other nor
NAL conditions. Quite a lot might be
written about the peculiar dangers and
powers of this half waking state.

WARNING to bearded Men.

"It Is we'll that old men should wear
Boards" said a physician, "for when
one becomes old one should be spared
the exertion of daily shaving. But I
would like to issue a warning to all
beard wearers. ! would like to shout
Keep your boards dryv in a voice loud
enough to be heard around the world.
Were those words needed many cases
of sore throat, cold and influenza
would be avoided. and many deaths
would be indefinitely put Off. So many
men with boards neglect when they
wash their faces to wipe their boards
dry! A beard foot long demands a
lot of toweling. 1t should be toweled
after every wash a good five minutes.
Otherwise 1t Is damp. The owner goes
about with this damp thing upon his
delicate and sensitive throat. Then, if
he takes tonsilltls or Influenza. he
blames the American climate. There
are too many damp boards among us.
Too many men, washing their faces
three or four times a day, have their
boards damp and clammy a good three
hours daily."-New York Press.

The word ''cannibalism" is really the
name of a people. 1t is Identical with
Carib, many of the Caribs, who for
merly flourished in the West Indies,
having been consumers Of human flesh.
The letters 81" m and "r' are inter-
ebangeable in certain aboriginal Ameri-
can languages, so that Columbus found
one West Indian island saying CAM
ba" where another said "Carib," while
Shakespeares Caliban is another va
riety Of the same. Columbus own con-
lecture was that the name was con-
nected with the great khan, and later
philologlsts of the old slapdash type as
ISOLATED with "canis," a dog. APP
parently, however, the meaning Of
"carib" was brave and daring.
