Death and Snuff.

4 certain Margaret Wilson of West
minister, who was an inveterate sauf
taker, enjoined that a quantity OF
Scotch snuff should be placed in her
coffin. She also ordered that the ar
raneements connected with her 3uner-
al should be as follows: "StI men to
be my bearers who are known to be
the greatest snuff takers In the parish
Of st. James, Westminster. Instead OF
mourning, each to wear snuff colored
beaver hat, which I desire may be
bought for the purpose and given to
them. Six maidens Of my old ac-
quaintance to bear my pail, each to
carry box filed with the best Scotch
snuff, to take for their refreshment
as they go along" Sniff was also to
be. thrown on the threshold OF de-
ceased's dwelling before the cortege
passed out, snuff was to be strewn on
the ground at every twenty yards IN
advance Of the coffin, and the of6ciat-
ing clergyman's fee was to be proper
tionate to rhe quantity Of snuff be
consumed during the ceremony.-Lon-

Tho Blue Sky.

The blue sky which reveals itself as
the hemispherical vault oi, the frma-
ment In the absence Of clouds IS the
far depths OF the air sending back to
the observer some part Of the solar
illumination which they receive. The
light thus returned to the eye is "blue"
simply becatse the particles Of the air
are Of such exceedingly diminutiVe
size that they can effectively deal With
only the smallest Of the luminous vi
brations-that is, with the "btue" un-
dulations There are few faint IN
terminglings Of the other colored rays
in the blue Of the sky, but they are,
in such triding quantity that the blue
swallows them up.

A PARTISAN RUsE.
The Dressmsker's Lure That Ensnared

The Dressmsker's Lure That Ensnared
ehe Americans.
Grace Margaret Gould tells in the
September Woman's Home Companion
some Of the ways the Partisan dress
making establishments sell their goods
to American women. Here is one ruse
that she saw worked In one Of the big
cest establishments In Paris:
There was q sudden and evident
commotion among the employees
sThe princess. The princess! She
has arrivedw they cried.
American eyes began to bulge.
Out from q magnificent equipage
stepped q regally gowned grand lady,
attended by footmen and maid and re-
ceived By the whole bowing estao-
lishment, to the neglect OF all other
customers. She was In a gracious
mood this day and easy to be pleased,
praising their past efforts and select
ing several of their new creations with

woman bothering her head. over sus-
gestions. Every American woman
present wanted gown copied from
the one the princess had bought, and
she got it after much pleading and at
a price far beyond the limit she had
set.
And the point Of this fable is this:
The princess was no princess, but an
employee Of the house.
Every French gown has two prices
an American price and Ererch price.
It Is needless to say which is the
greater price.

the prices go up too.

What the Peruviens Believed.

4 unique idea of the future state
was that Of the ancient Peruvians.
AS the disembodied soul winged its
way to eternity It encountered two
rocks. upon one OF which 1t must
needs rest. The choice was deter
mined by the morality Of the life in
the flesh. If it rested upon the left
hand rock 1t was instantly translated
to "Po," or oblivion, state analogous
to the Nirvana Of the orient. II
through early misdeeds. however, the
unhappy spirit was guided to the right
hand rock it entered into purga-
torial hell where fends grated away
the flesh from Ill the bones in sue
cession, after which the skeleton was
reclothed and sent back to earth Tor
another Try. There was no haste
about this grating process. 1t tool,
something over 10000 years.

CONFEDERATE FLAGS.
Tho Stars and Bars and Then the Red
BattleHag.

The first Confederate flag was the
stars and bars, blue field and three
stripes, one white and two red, and
on the blue field seven white stars IN
a circle, a star for each state that up
to that time had seeded. In battle,
however, 1t was seen that this banner
bore altogether too close resemblance
to the stars and stripes, and thus
there came into use the Confederate
battlefag, the origin Of which seems
to have been as follows:
This is the statement Of General
William L. Cabel1: when the Con-
federate army commanded by General
Beauregard and the Federal army con-
fronted each other at Manassas, it was
seen that the Confederate flag and the
stars and stripes looked at a distance
so much alike that it was hard to DIS
tinguish one from the other. General
Beauregard, thinking that serious mis-
takes might be made in recognizing
our troops, after the battle Of July 18,
at Blackburn Ford, ordered that a
small badge should be worn on the left
shoulder by our troops and, as was
chief auarterm2ster, ordered me to
purchase a large amount Of red fan
mel and to distribute it to each regt-
ment"
This Confederate battedag was
adopted In September, 1861, and was
designed by Generals Johnston and
Beauregard. Red was its color, with
blue st. Andrews Cross reaching from
corner to corner and white stars on
the cross representing the different
southern states The women Of the
south made these flags by hundreds
out Of their red and blue silk dresses.
Miss Constance Cary, who afterward
became Mrs. Burton Harrison, the well
known novelist, was one Of the three
southern girls who made the first three
battledags. - Magazine Of American

The Man In the Moon.

The dark markings so conspicuous on
the moon and known as the "mar n
the moon" are great plains, lying at q
much lower level than the brighter
parts. In all probability they are old

since the water retreated from them,

being unchanged since the time when
