His Idea of SCORING.

At a country cricket match in Ian
AYRSHIRE a local farmers boy was ap-
pointed scorer, his duties being care
fully explained to him. The first in
ming was not very productive Of runs
and soon came to an end, and every
one made a rush for the scorer. Judge
of their surprise, however, when they
found that not a single mark had been
made in the carefully ruled book that
had been provided.
When reproached in somewhat strong
terms the boy was not in the least
disconnected, but with the most in
genuous air in the world said:
81 was sac eenterested in the sport
that 1 quite forgot to max the crosses.
But 1t disna matter-that wee laddie
WI the red face is the smartest runner
among ye."-London Tit-Bits.

Buying Cooked Food.

In France it is a common thing for
the wife to be out at work as we'll as
the husband. From this circumstance,
no doubt, have developed the facilities
that country affords for obtaining
ready cooked food outside the home.
Whole meals al be purchased outside,
and they are very good meals too. A
whole fowl or a half one or a smaller
portion can be bought hot or cold from
the rotissier. Soups and salads can be
bought In the same way, and in shops
where eggs are sold there Is always a
basket Of red eggs as we'll as white
ones, the red color being used to indi-
cate that the eggs are cooked. All
these things are sold at prices within
the reach Of ALL" and in many homes
scarcely any attempt Is made to do
cooking.

The Best Known Newspaper in the

Popular in Every State.

In many respects the Toledo Blade is the most
remarkable weekly newspaper published in the
United States. 1t is the only newspaper espe-
cially edited for National circulation. 1t has
had the 1argert circulation for more years than
any newspaper printed in America. Further
more, it is the cheapest newspaper in the world,
as will be explained to any person who will
write US for terms. The news of the world so
arranged that busy people can more easily COM
prehend, than by reading cumbersome columns
of dailies. All current topics made plain in
each issue by special editorial matter written
from inception down to date. The only paper
published especially for people who dc or do
not read daily newspapers, and yet thirst for
plain facts, That this kind of a newspaper is
popular, is proven by the fact that the Weekly
Blade now has over $4,000 yearly subscribers,
and is circulated in all parts of the United
States. In addition TO the news, the Blade pub
fishes short and serial stories, and many depart
rnents of matter suited to every member of the
family. Only one dollar a year.

FINE SPIDER THREADS.
Cultivated Especially For tho Use Of
Astronomers.

Astronomers.
The cultivation Of certain species Of
spiders solely for the fine threads
which they weave for scientific uses
has an important bearing upon astron-
omy.
No substitute for the spiders thread
has yet been found for bisecting the
screw of the micrometer used for de-
termining the positions and motions Of
the stars. Not only because Of the re-
markable fineness of the threads are
they valuable, but because Of their
durable qualities.
The threads of certain spiders raised
for astronomical purposes Withstand
changes in temperatures, so that often
In measuring sun spots they are unin-
jured when the heat is so great that
the lenses of the micrometer eyepiece
are cracked.
These spider lines are only one-ffth
to ~one-seventh of a thousandth Of an
inch in diameter, compared with which
the threads of the silkworm are large
and clumsy.
Each line is made up of several thou
sands of microscopic streams of fluid.
Under the most powerful magnifying
glass they appear true and round.
The work of placing these lines in
the micrometer requires the delicate
touch Of experts, who operate with the
aid of microscopes which magnify the
line a thousand times. The lines are
placed parallel with each other and
two one-thousandths Of an inch apart.

GRAVITATlON.
It's Wonderful and Far Reaching Ef-
fects Upon the World.

fects Upon the World.
"The effects of gravitation are SO ia
miliar as to demand only the briefest
mention, yet most of us perhaps sci.
dom stop to consider how far reaching
these effects are" says DR.. Henry
Smith Williams. But for gravitation
the winds would not blow, the waters
would not descend, and the mountain
tops would not crumble into the val
leys. Each particle Of pulverized rock
would remain where it was formed,
and there would be no such thing as q
mixed soil.
But as matters are actually arrang-
ed gravitation is p~erpetually active,
and every particle of matter is being
eternally tugged at and urged to get
nearer to the earth's center. So no
sooner does a fragment of rock at q
mountain crest become loosened than
gravitation hurls 1t crashing down into
the valley, shattering 1t into frag-
ments perhaps or at the least grinding
off some portions of its surface as
well as Of the surface Of the rocks
against which 1t Is dashed.
by such means and with the fur
Their aid of Its handmaidens, wind and
water. gravitation works its %unceasing
purpose of leveling the surface of the
earth. In a few brief geological mo-
ments 1t rounds the shoulders Of the
haughtiest mountain, and, given time
enough, 1t will bring every particle Of
rock back to the sea bed, whence it
originally sprang. Short Of that, as a
transition stage, it is forever mixing
the different soil constituents on the
one hand and sorting them out again
on the other."-Appleton's.

Arms and the Tax.

There are sufficient people in Eng
land and Scotland paying the annual
tax imposed by the inland ven up
on the use of armorial bearings to pro-
duce a sum of $35O,OOO each year. The
great bulk Of this sum is paid by peo-
pie who care not an atom either about
their family of their arms, but pay the
tax regularly simply because they have
carriages or plate heraldically decorat-
ed. The really old families Of the
realm, however, use armorial emblems
for decorative purposes to an extent
almost incredible in the eyes Of those
familiar with them only on note paper,
table silver and carriage panels.

THE STRAWBERRY.
It Was First Cultivated by a Blind
King of Hungary.

1t Was First Cultivated by a Blind
King of Hungary.
Where Eperies, the picturesque Hun
garian town, is now surrounded by
beautiful gardens and fruited fields
there was at the time of King Bella II.
nothing but thick wilderness. Once
this blind and unhappy sovereign was
travelling in his realm. 1t was a hot,
sultry summer day, and while search
ing for a shady spot in which to rest
he became lost. Deadly tired in con-
sequence Of his long wandering, he
asked his attendants for a drink of
water. They seated him on the soft,
green grass in the cool shade of big
old trees, and then the cavaliers sep
arated to hunt for a refreshing spring.
Meanwhile the king wanted to find
out more about his resting place and
began to grope about him with his
hands. Thus he discovered strawber-
ries growing all about him, says the
New York Herald. He ate them; so,
partly quenching his thirst, he waited
quietly for his gentlemen. After a
short time they returned, some with
empty cups, some with pearly spring
water.
The king then said to his attendants:
"Have the trees cut down around this
place where my hands found the re-
freshing strawberries. Here shall rise
a town whose name shall be Eperies
strawberry in remembrance Of this
day for all time"
AS the king commanded so it was.
The wilderness was cleared, and in its
place is a town whose arms carry the
stra wberry even today.

Chiieans Arc MonareIs,

There is a good deal of mongrel
about Chilean society. Chileans will
tell you that they are descended from
old Spanish families, but the old Span
ish families were mostly turned out or
massacred in the revolution against
Spain, which arose mainly out of the
wrongs of the mongrels. The descent,
in short, usually includes a slave native
Indian woman years back, and the two
types have mixed well, with handsome
but very fiery results.-EIchange.
