Absence {. M.na.

Many amusing anecdotes are told OF
Bishop Burnets absence OF minG. bn-
few perhaps are more strikias :tni
have been less repeated than the .iol-
lowing. which Lord oxford used 10 70
late:
Burnet WAS once dining with tho
Duchess of Marlborough after ihe
great dukes disgrace. In the course o.
conversation. speaking OF MariDor'
oughs great qualities. great services
and great fall. Burnett compared the
duke with fBelisarius. the great Ro-

Souare Bullets.

In 171s an Englishman, James Puc-
kle. secured British patent for what
seems TO have been an attempt at a
breechloading rapid firing gun. An
original feature OF the invention was
the use Of two different breech plates,
one for square bullets. TO be used
against the Turks, and the other for
round bullets, to be used against Chris
tlans. 1t is curious to find two. oppos-
ing tendencies in the same invention
FIRST, the desire TO construct a gun that
should be more effective because more
destructive. and, second, desire to
recognize certain ethical distinctions
in Its use. If round bullet was too
good for a Turk, square one was too
bad for a Christian.-Iondon Chronl-

How Indians Tan peerskin.

The skin dressing Of the Indians,
both buffalo and deer skins, Is general
ly very beautiful and soft. They
stretch the skin either on a frame or
on the ground, and after 1t has remain
ed there for three or four days, with
the brains spread over the heshy side,
they grain 1t with sort Of adj or
chlsel After the process Of granting,
though the skin is apparently beauti-
fully finished. it passes through an
other pr0ccss-that Of smoking. For
this they hang the skin on a frame
In a smoke proof house or tent. The
FIRE is made at the bottom out OF rot
ten wood. which produces a strong and
peculiar smell The fire must be smoth-
cred to make the smoke. The grained
skins must be kept In the smoke for
three or four days, and after this the
skins will always remain the same,
even after being wet which does not
belong to the dressed skins In civilized
countrIes.-"Lif Among the Indians"

Tn. par.I.iena Of Poland.

There have been three partitions OF
Poland. The first was In 1772, when
Prussia took the palatinates Of Nal
berg, Pomeria and Warmia, a part OF
Culm and a part OF Great Poland. Aus
tria took Red Russia, or Gallcia; a
part of PodolIa, Sandomir and Cracow,
and Russia took White Russia, with all
the part beyond the Dnleper. The sec.
ond partition was IN 1893, by which
Prussia acquired the remainder OF
Great and a portion Of Little Poland,
and the Russian boundary was ad-
Yanced to the center of Lithuana and
Yolhynia. In The third and final par
tltion, in 1895, Austria had Cracow,
with the country between the Pllica
and the Vistula. Prussia had the cap
ital, with the territory as far as the
Nlemen, while the rest went to Russia.

Gambetta's Lost Eye.

Gambetta, the French patriot, had
but one eye. How he came TO lose the
other In childhood is told by writer;
at appears that Gambetta had such q
dislike to going TO school that he said
to his father that unless he were taken
from school he would poke one of his
eyes out. His father insisted on his re-
naming on at school, whereupon Gam
BETA did as he had threatened to DO,
and on his father demonstrating with
him he said that IL his father sent him
back again to school he would poke the
other eye out. Such a determined
character was he that his father had
finally to give way to him"

One night at Brooks when Coke was

that had been said, made a very dis
paraging remark about government
powder. Adam, attorney general to
the Prince Of Wales, who heard 1t, con
sidered it a personal reflection and
sent Fox q challenge. At the time APP

The SAUSAGE.

The sausage dates back to the year
s97. 1t has been asserted that the
Greeks in the days Of Homer manufac-
tured ssusages, but this prehistoric
mixture had nothing in common with
our modern product. The ancient so
called sausage was composed of the
same materials which enter into the
makeup OF the boudln Of the French
market and the blood pudding OF the
French Canadian. The ancient sausage
was enveloped in the stomachs Of
goats. 1t was not until the tenth cen
tury that sausage made of hashed pork
became known. 1t was In or near the
year 1900 that, thanks to the introduc-
ton into Germany OF cinnamon and
saffron, the sausages of Frankfort and
strassburg acquired a universal repu-
tation.

lnaaet Continuance.

As DR.. Darwin was walking one day
In bis garden he perceived n wasp
upon the gravel walk with a large hy
nearly as big as itself which 1t had
caught. Kneeling down, he distinctly
saw It cut of the head and abdomen
and then, taking up with its feet the
trunk or middle portion Of the body, to
which the wings remained attached.
Fly away. But breeze Of wind, acting
on the wings of the fly, turned round
the wasp with its burden and impeded
it's progress. Upon this It alighted
again on the gravel walk, deliberately
sawed off first one wing and then the
other and, having thus removed the
cause of its embarrassment, few of

Stereotypina.

1t is claimed that stereotyplpg was
known in 1711.--lt was practiced by
William Ged Of Edinburgh about 1870.
Some OF Ged's plates are 10 be seen Mt
the Royal institution, London. Mr..
James attempted to introduce Ged's
process In London In 1875, but failed.
Stereotype printing was used IN Hol-
land during the last century. and a
quarto Bible and Dutch folio Bible
were printed there. 1t was revived In
London by Wilson In 1904. Since 1850
the durability Of stereotypes has been
greatly increased by elecrotyplng them
with copper or silver.
