ATOMIC WORLDS.
There May Be Billion of Them In

There May Be Billion of Them In q
Speck of Dust.
How would you like to live in an
atomic be one Of the millions Of in
habitants of world so small that you
cannot even see it beneath q micro
scope?
The scientists tell us that each atom
is a solar system, with it's central sun
and revolving planets in their orbits,
and that little atom people live and
love and fight and die there and never
know but what they are just the big
gest and most important folks that
live There are military atomites
there, no doubt, who strut around and
get tangled up in their swords and
give orders in gruff voices; actor atom
ties who star in atomic theaters and
are adored by lovely atomite maidens
and criticised by the trenchant pens of
the newspaper men.
There is every reason to believe that
life in the atom is much like life in the
earth and that the kings and emperors
there make war on their distant enc
mics and have their peace conferences
and their periods of financial stringen-
cy. The joke of it is that they prob
ably take themselves seriously, and,
though there may be billion atomic
worlds in a speck of dust, there is
never an inhabitant of one of them
that knows how small he is and how
much he misses by not being a man
instead of an atomic. - New York

A GREAT WRESTLER.
His Encounter With the Gar and His
IunobIe Reward.

IgnobIe Reward.
One of the stories of Peter the Great
which are current at the court of st.
Petersburg is of the great cars wres-
ting match with young dragon.
Once in the imperial palace-so the
story goes-Peter was at table with
a great many princes and noblemen,
and soldiers were posted within the
hall. The car was in joyous mood,
and, rising, called out to the company:
Listen, princes and boyars! Is there
among you one who will wrestle with
the czar?" There was no reply, and
the car repeated the challenge.
No prince or nobleman dared to wres-
tie with his sovereign. But all at once
a young dragon stepped out from
the ranks of the soldiers on guard.
Listen, orthodox czar," he said. Il
will wrestle with thee" "Well, young
dragoon," said Peter, 81 will wrestle
with thee, but on these conditions: If
thou throwest me, 1 will pardon thee,
but if thou art thrown thou shalt be
beheaded. Wilt thou wrestle on those
conditions?
II will, great czar," said the soldier.
They closed, and presently the soldier
with his left arm threw the car and
with his right he prevented him from
falling to the ground. The sovereign
was clearly beaten. The car offered
the soldier whatever reward he should
claim, and he ignobly claimed the
privilege of drinking free as long as
he lived in all the inns belonging to
the crown. What became of him his
tory does not say.

leaned across to playfully pat the girls
cheek She was glad that the arrival at
the house prevented further demonstra-
ton
Mazda was profuse in her praise Of
the place, and she would not rest con.
tent until she had explored every nook
and Granny. Not until then was she
ready to retire to her room and remove
the signs Of travel, leaving Miss Mer-
rington free to see that the table was
properly set for dinner.
She had slipped out into the garden
for some early flowers and was arrang-
ing these in a vase when Rial came
into the room and with happy laugh
tilted up her dimpled chin and planted
kiss upon her smiling lips.
Miss Warrington started back, with
little cry of pain.
''Is this the way you seek to repay
me? she cried, with flashing eyes. "a
new wife in the house just half an
hour, and you-you kissed me-"
81 could not help. it, sweetheart!'
cried Rial. IT'S so good to be back
home after two years in hotels, and
you are a part of that home. Will you
forgive me, dear, and promise always
to be a part Of my homer
Miss Warrington gazed at Rial with
dumb anguish in her eyes. Then SLOW
~ she turned away to where the
French windows gave upon the piazza.
With few quick steps Rial reached
her.
"Forgive me. dear, for tormenting
your he cried. 1T was a mean thing
to do, but l was only taking a leaf
from your own book of the past and
proving that jealousy sometimes leads
to love. That was why 1 did not tell
you that Mazda is Mrs. Ralph Rial"
"Your daughter-in-law and not your
wifer'
81 didn't say whose bride 1 was
bringing home" he confessed. II felt
that If you cared you would show It.
You do care, don't you, Dorothy?'
The use of the old name broke down
Miss Merrington's last barrier of pride.
Unresisting. she let him take her in his
arms, and it was thus that Mazda
found them as she came running into
the room.
"Now it's perfectv' cried the girl,
with quick appreciation Of the situa-
ton. 1.-THE only thing the dear old
house lacked was a mother to welcome
the bride, and now
"And now the welcome is complete"
finished Rial. with his vibrant laugh,
as he bent to kiss the soft brown hair.

Slow Mental Ripenino,

Not infrequently those mentalities
that ripen the slowest last the longest,
and often the history of these great
men has been persistent neglect and
worldly GOODNESS until forty or more
years have passed before their great
ness has been conceded by their con-
temporaries. Truly 'the life history
Of a great genius is almost invariably
one of sad and somber tone, walk
apart from the beaten path" Such
are the words of one who should know
what the ''doers of deeds" must en-
dure. Be this as it may, it is now
recognized that many of the finest
achievements in business, statesman
ship. literature and in all activities
have been wrought by men long past
sixty. Writes one, "No strong man
will accept sixty as the arbitrary limit
of his ambition and working ability

SOLVED THE PROBLEM.
The Simple Secret of Blowing the Big

Glass Globes.
Emperor Nicholas wished to illumi-
nate the Alexander column in grand
style. The size of the round lamps to
be used for the purpose were indicated
and the glasses ordered at the manu-
factory, where the workmen exerted
themselves in vain and almost blew
the breath out of their bodies in the
endeavor to obtain the desired size.
The commission must be executed
that was self evident-but how?
A great premium was offered to the
one who could solve the problem.
Again the human bellows toiled and
pulled. Their object seemed unattain-
able, when at last long bearded Rus
sian stepped forward and declared that
he could do it; he had strong lungs;
he would only rinse his mouth first
with little water to refresh them.
He applied his mouth to the pipe
vitreous ball swelled and puffed nearly
to the required dimensions, up to them,

You are doing too much. And how
did you do it all?'

swered the long beard. "but. first,
where is my Premium"
And when he clutched the promised
bounty he explained.
He had retained some of the water
in his mouth, which had passed thence
into the glowing ball and then, becom-
ing steam. had rendered him this good
service.

4 Hint for The Bath.

The growing use of mustard in the
bathtub is modern adaptation of the
principle that mustard is one OF the
most valuable external stimulants. To
those who have tried it, the result is
really surprising. Take a tablespoon
Jul Of best mustard and add to the
bath when filed. The water will be
found to be OF {. slightly yellow-green
color, and absolutely free from any
singing or smarting sensation. In
fact. it has soft, velvety feeling, al
most like milk, but with a glowing
warmth that is appreciated by the
most delicate skin. Under it's infiu-
ence sore and stiff joints become linn
Der and elastic, and the whole body
experiences a sense Of exhilaration
that is scarcely credible. The mustard
bath is already favorite with those
engaged in arduous sports, and equally
so with society ladies, who find in it
refreshing antidote to the fatigue of
functions, and charming way of keep
ing in that healthy condition so con-
ducive to beauty.

Persons prosaically concerned with
the present perhaps lack sympathy
with those genealogists whose souls
are obsessed with worship of an

cousins. They were discussing a new
acquaintance.

Mr.. Blank mean by saying he is re-
lated to us? How is he related to us?

scended from the Plantagenets.'

The SilkWorn.

Upon attaining full growth the silk
worm becomes restless, stops feeding
and throws out silken threads The
silk is formed in a fluid condition and
issues from the body of the worm in a
glutinous state, apparently in a single
thread. From this silk the worm con-
structs its cocoon, an interval Of from
three to five days being required to
complete its Imprisonment in the en-
velope. In order that the silken strands
may not be subjected to the danger Of
breakage by the moth emerging from
the cocoon, the cocoons are steamed
till the inclosed insects are dead. After
this the silk may be wound off.-New
York American.
