Gems and Disease.

Many curious stories of the healing
of blindness and diseases by gems are
to be found in ancient works, and it is
said that the Emperor Tbeodosius was
cured of blindness by a stone of great
brilliancy which was laid on his eyes.
What this stone was history unfortu-
nately does not say. The diamond,
ruby, emerald and opal We're supposed
to warn the owner of danger by chang
ing color. Pliny says of the diamond
that it is not only an antidote to poi
son. but that it has the power to free
the mind from vain fears and to give
bravery. Worm in the ephod Of the
high priest it determined innocence or
guilt and was used to detect accused
persons. This gem is dedicated to
April, and. worn by those born in that
month, is lucky.-Myerson's Magazine.

AN HOURS WALK.
You Would Hardly Think 1t Meant
Travelling S5,253 Miles,

Have you ever thought of the dis
lance you travel when you are out on
an hours stroll? Possibly you walk
three miles within the hour, but that
does mt by any means represent the
distance you travel The earth turns
on its axis every twenty-four hours.
For the sake of round figures, we will
call the earth's circumference $4,000
during the hours stroll 1000 miles in
the axial turn of the earth.
But this is not all The earth makes
a journey around the sun every year,
and a long but rapid trip it is. The dis
lance of our planet from the sun we
will put at 100000 miles. This is
the radius of the earth's orbit-half the
diameter of the circle, as we call it.
The whole diameter is therefore 1884,
100000 miles, and the circumference,
being the diameter multiplied by
3.1416, is about SIS 100000.
This amazing distance the earth trav-
els in its yearly journey, and dividing
1,5S6,O00 Then we get the distance
you rode around the sun during your
hours walk, divide again by twenty
four, and the result is about $4,000
miles. But this is not the end of your
hours trip. The sun, with its entire
brood of planets, is moving in space at
the rate of 100000 miles in year.
That is at the rate of little more than
$4,000 miles day, or 1880 miles an
hour.
So. adding your three miles of leg
travel to the hours axial movement of
the earth, this to the earth's orbital
journey and that again to the earth's
excursion with the sun, and you find
you have Travelled in the hour 1928
miles.

CRUDE HOUSEKEEPING
Domestic Methods In England In the
Fourteenth Century.

Domestic Methods In England In the
Fourteenth Century.
Carpets were unknown luxuries in
England in the fourteenth century, but
the fashion of strewing the apartments
with rushes was being gradually aban-
doned. Rushes were still used in the
retainers' hall, but for the better rooms
sweet scented herbs and fragrant twigs
were usually employed.
Windows were apertures filed with
glass so as to admit light, but to ex-
cIude wind. The walls also were fire.
uuently hung with cloth or tapestry to
protect the inmates of the room from
the many currents of air that pene-
trated the strong but badly built walls.
We learn from various ancient docu-
ments that it was the duty of the serv-
ing men and pages to sweep out the
principal apartments, but as the use
of water is rarely mentioned damp
and fragrant leaves and twigs must
have aided not only in collecting the
dust but also toward refreshing the
atmosphere in such constantly closed
rooms, fresh air being only admitted
through the doors opening on to the
battlements or balconies.
From old inventories at Thurleigh
Ind elsewhere we ascertain how scan
tily furnished We're these ancient man
sions, although they seem to have been
abundantly supplied with fiagons and
drinking cups in gold. silver and finely
engraved pewter, besides an infinite
number of black jacks or cups made Of
leather-London Standard.
