What His Music Bill Meant.

An architect who had planned and
superintendent the building of west
side residence had turned over the
completed house to its owner. The
architect had been in nowise hamper
ed in the expenditure of money, yet his
customer, being a good business man,
gave his personal attention to the de-
tails of the cost.
"What does this mean?" he asked
on final inspection Of the bills. "Three
hundred dollars TO quartet of trained
musicians. How can anybody have
given concert already in my house
when no one is living there?"
"They were testing the acoustics of
the rooms" the architect explained
Every room in your house has been
submitted to that test. There will be
plenty Of music there later on, and |
certainly wouldn't want TO finish the
house without being sure that the
sounding properties were satisfactory.
In these days every private house or
hotel that amounts to anything is put
through the acoustic test before 1t
leaves the architects hands. New

Blind Mems Dreams.

One of the most intelligent inmates
of a blind asylum. who came into the
world blind. says that he never dreams
of the things he has read about and
never dreams Of any thing or person
that he has not in some way come In
personal contact with. He dreams of
music, of the voices of persons he
knows. of such incidents as might
happen ut the home or in some place
in which he has actually been, but
never of incidents in other places or in
other lands. Even although he has
read descriptions of localities, of nat
ural beauties. Of the appearance of a
street or city. no idea Of what they
look like comes to him in the fancies
of his sleep. There is class of blind
people who become blind when quite
young. Such blind people never dream
of any scene or object except those
which have remained in the memory
from what they actually saw before
they became blind.-Pearson's Weekly.

Weeds Worth Millions,

New Zealand flax is one of a num-
Der of wild weeds that yield their
gatherers great wealth. The flax, the
strongest known, grows wild In
marshes. When it is cultivated 1t
dwindles and its fibers become brittle
and valueless.
Indian hemp grows wild, and out Of
it hasheesh. or keef, is made. Keef
looks like flakes of chopped straw. 1t
is smoked in a pipe; it is eaten on
liver: it is drunk in water; ii produces
an intense, delirious happiness, and
among orientals 1t takes the place of
beer and whisky.
The most valuable weed of all the
wild growths is the seaweed. The
nitrate beds of South America, which
yield something like SG5,0OO,O00 a year,
are nothing but beds of seaweed de-
cOmpOsed.-Columbus Dispatch.

Fish In lnclosed Waters.

Most people not without education
and a general knowledge Of natural
history are mystified by the presence
of fish in inclosed waters For many
years there was open mOuthed wonder

Macquarie river, in New South Wales.
In some cases the water had scarcely
settled after the rain had filed the
dam than the fish were observed, and

CUTTING Biu Diamonds.

Big diamonds lose great deal in
the cutting. The Kohinoor was re-
duced 10y an unskillful stonecutter
from 1885 carats to $50 carats, a sec
ond cutting brought it down to 1S6 1-16
carats and third to 106 1-16 carats,
or less than seventh of its original
size. The original weight of the Pitt
or Regent diamond was 410 carats, but
in the hands of the cutter two-thirds
disappeared while the Star of the
South, which was picked up in riv-
er by negress, lost little over half
its weight by cutting.
