One evening in her illustrious old
age some of the young friends of Nine.
Geo6rin, whose Paris salon was one
of the most famous In the middle of
the eighteenth century, passed round
her and begged her to write her mem
olrs. Her biographer says that she
soon afterward announced to those
friends that she had begun her me
moirs and would, If they desired it,
read to them what she had written.
All were delighted They gathered
round their hostess, and she began:

Stealing sea water.

A very curious case has occurred at
Paris PLACE, near Boulogne-sur- Mer.
A woman who drew two buckets of
water from the sea In order to give
her children a warm sea water bath,
as ordered by the doctor, was threat
ened with fine for doing so by two
passing customs officers. She was
obliged to write on a sheet of paper
what she wanted the water for and
obtain permission from the authorities
before she was allowed to take water
from the sea. 1t appears that In the
reign Of Louis XIV. a decree was
passed forbidding people to take sea
water without special permission lest
they should extract the salt from II
and so defraud the revenue.-London

The Sanity of society.

We are convinced that society has
never shown so high a level of good
conduct, intelligence and public spirit
as 1t shows today. For one young man
who remains at home to go to the
devil there are dozen performing the
task of the state under difficult con.
ditions In far countries. For one fash
ionable lady who lives only for pleas
ure there are twenty who spend much
of their time in serious and intelligent
public work Let any one compare the
life Of a smart" woman as he will
find 1t in Pope or Horace Walpole with
the life of her sister today and he will
grant the reality Of the change. 1t Is
not only more innocent, but infinitely
more useful. Many women no doubt
lose great deal of money at cards
and get into trouble. But there will
always be idle people to gamble. and
the bridge of today is a small evil com
pared with the omber and faro Of 9
hundred years ago or the ecarte Of
flfty.-London Spectator.

sustaining power of Cane sugar.

Sustaining Power of Cane Sugar.
The remarkable sustaining powers Of
cane sugar have often been noted, and
sir Martin Conway in his book, 1.-THE
Ascent of Aconcagua," stated that he
found Demerara sugar ''the finest heat
producing. muscle nourishing food in
the world" For men taking violent
exercises, such as soldiers on active
service or athletes In training, plen-
tiful supply of sugar was, he said, far
better than large meat rations. A
quarter of pound per day per man
was his allowance on the mountain
side. and he was inclined to think that
this might be increased to nearly half
a pound with advantage, cane sugar,
Of course. being selected for this pur-
pose. This testimony as to the ali
mentary value Of sugar finds striking
confirmation in the account of the first
crossing Of Mount Cook, contributed by
Malcolm Ross to the Alpine Journal.
On this expedition, which proved q
wonderful feat Of endurance, brown
sugar formed an important part of the
rations Indeed, Mr.. Ross says that
upon it he EXISTED almost entirely on
all our climbs"

THE GROWTH OF TROUT.
Age, Food and Temperature Seem TO
Have No Bearing on Size.

Age, Food and Temperature Seem TO
Have No Bearing on Size.
The Salvelinus fontinalis, which is
currently but inaccurateIy called brook
trout, was supposed for many years
to be small fish. Agassiz was
largely Instrumental in exploding this
fallacy. 1t is not an uncommon thing
for an angler with ordinary luck to
get six or seven pound trout of this
variety. 1t is known that trout may
grow to weigh eleven or twelve pounds
There is, however, great difficulty in
accounting for its variation in size.
In northeastern Canada there are
large streams and lakes in which only
fingerlings have ever been found. IN
the immediate vicinity Of such waters
three and four pound trout are quite
common and seven and eight Founders
are not phenomenal. In all these wa
tiers crustacea do not abound; there are
no small fish of any kind except small
trout. All the fish are pure fly feeders.
AT some places, it is true, frogs abound,
but taken as a whole the difference in
food supply is not an adequate eX-
PLANTATION for the difference in growth.
There is no substantial difference in
the waters as to temperature, size.
origin and course. Climatic conditions
are the same. The small trout taken
to virgin lakes in which there are no
fish have sometimes grown to a greas
size have sometimes remained small
and sometimes have not thriven The
anglers who haunt these waters have
not yet found a satisfactory explana-
ton of this peculiar condition of things.
It is one of the mysteries which lends
fascination to the art. You never can
/ tell what is going to happen when you
go fishing'-St. Paul Dispatch

Long Word. or SHORTY
