a Lapsus ls%noramus.
From the New York Press

AAolA IN AVN" AoAh = as
Congressman Quarles used 10 tell
this: Il was a guest OF q beading
banker at dinner, one OF you New
York giants of finance, who nad in
vited nearly a score of us to eat Il bit,
drink a bit and swap notions. Every
thing was lovely until the FIFTH course.
The waiter was bringing in what ap-
peared on the menu as 'lanEue fumee
aux epinards,' what we conimon old
roustabouts call smoked beef tongue
with ~spinach-and my faNorite dish.
He tripped at the door and spilled The
tongue and greens on the carpet. The
host, equal to the occasion, relieved us
all, especially the waiter, by saying
jovially, There's no harm DONE. gentle
men; tits merely a lapsus linguae.' 1t
was about the cleverest play cf words
I ever heard.
Among the guests was a Broadway
merchant, up from the gutter, worth
about $4,000, 900 and proud of his 20
%cabulary, which was not unlike Mrs.
M~alaprop's," continued Quarles. He
shook with merrimept at the bank .r's
wit. The happy effect induced linn to
give a Dime the following 'sccK with
about the same guests, and, as I hap
pened to learn afterward, he had ii-
rected his servant to let fall u piece OF
roast beef on the floor The servant
faithfully performed his part. Down
went a splendid first cut, weighing
about Is pounds, the delicious juices
scattering everywhere. We all felt
hurt at the accident; :OIne even
groaned. Be not uneasy my friends

WHY We SEE ODD
THINGS AT NIGHT
Explanation of Reason Objects
Assume a Fantastic and
Alarming Appearance.
From the British Medical Journal.

Every one must at times have asked
himself why frmiliar objects in a dim
light tend to assume fantastic and
oftentimes alarming appearances.
The explanation is to be found In the
special conditions Of night vision. The
pupils are widely dialated and, as in
the Photographic lens with a large
diaphragm, the apparatus OF accommo-
dalton can only focus for n plane. AS
the faculty of estimating distances is
in great mcasure lost in the obscurity
we cannot focus with precision, and
a blurred uncertain outline Is thrown
Upon the retina.
Then. too, colors Viewed in a fading
light lose their distinguishing hue In
a liked sequence until a point is reach
ed at which everything becomes OF one
uniform gay tint.
1t follows that the images which are
transmitted to the visual centers are
profoundly modified in color and out
the widely dilated pupil at an alto
| gether unusual angle the movement OF
locomotion gives them a peculiar mo-
bility.
Now. one relies on experience for the
Interpretation Of sensorial Impressions

METHOD OF FARMING
BY THE SQUARE INCH
How Two Women in France
Made a Competence From
a Tiny Vegetable Farm.

This is the story Of a remarkable so
luton of the secret of success in farm
ing on a small scale, chiefly for the
benefit of those who cannot afford to
buy large tracts of land and would not
be able to work them If they could.
So writes H. d. Jones in the Technical
World Magazine for July. To pique
first explained, in all seriousness, that
If a farm cultivated in his way is
leased it should be understood that
when the tenant moves he is at lib
erty to take the soil With him.
The soil used in his method of farm
ing must be of unusual richness. The
story begins with the efforts of two
women to gain a livelihood from Moth
er Nature. They leased five acres OF
land in Berkshire, England. Later they
found that five acres was too much
land, and that they could find full work
for themselves and for students who
locked to them to learn how it was
done. with profit for all. or a piece OF
ground less han half the size of that

with an acre of land in France, sold
$4,000 worth of produce in a year. The
scene at the farm is thus described by
