Weddinu Horses,

An old fashioned man who wanted
to hire a team for the afternoon saw
a nice pair of bays which he thought
he would like to drive.
Cant let you have them," said
the liveryman. "They are wedding
horses"
whats that?" asked the innocent
pleasure seeker.
Horses that won't shy at old shoes
and showers of rice. Some horses
seem prejudiced against matrimony.
Anyhow they lose their temper If they
happen to be hit by any of the good
luck emblems that are fired after a
bridal couple and run away If they get
half chance. Every livery stable,
however, keeps two or more horses
that take more cheerful view Of the
welded state. They may be literally
pelted with old shoes without resent
ing it. Those bays are that kind.
They are slated to head wedding
procession tonight and are resting up
for the job."-New York Sun.

Eighth Century.

A Hindoo Temple Built In Java In the
Eighth Century.
The Boroboedoer unearthed by Sir
Stamford Raffies when the English
ruled in Java was built by the Hin
docs In the eighth century and Is by
far the finest example of their work
In the island. Standing on hill in
the middle of the valley, this impos-
ing edifice, covering nearly ten acres,
rises to height of upward Of hun
dred feet above the summit Of the hill.
1t consists of series of stone ter
races built on top of each other in di-
minishing magnitude so as to leave
circumscribing galleries and crowned
by vast cupola. Entrance to the gal
leries is gained by four stairways-
north, south, east and west-which
run from the ground straight up to
the big top terraces, in the middle of
which stands the crowning cupola,
surrounded by numerous smaller lat
ticework cupolas, from which one may
step aside into any Of the intermediate
galleries.
The whole Is built oe stone, showing
an immense amount of carving, and,
though there is no genuine inside to
the temple, many of the galleries are
covered in, innumerable images Of
Buddha occupying inches or promi-
nent positions on the walls, and the
sides of the galleries were paved with
bas-reliefs, indicating the gloritication
of this god and other incidents in his
history. When one considers that
there are several miles of bas-reliefs

mids of Egypt pales into insignifi-

NITROGEN IoDIDE.
A Wonderful Substance That a Mere
Breath Would Explode.


"What would be the consequences of
firing a barrelful of nitrogen iodide 1t
would be impossible to say" declares
writer In the London Strand Maga-
zine, simply because the stuff is too
awful to be made In such quantities.
at may sound like joke, hut 1t is
nevertheless the truth. that the tread
of houseHy is sufficient to explode
this dangerous material. 1t is not
necessary that fly should walk over
the compound. 1t has only to let one
foot come into contact with the explo-
sive. when the jolt causes 1t to ex-
plode and to blow the insect into the
air.
"Another manner in which the pecul-
lar property of this explosive can be
demonstrated is by scattering small
quantity Of the dry powder over a
sheet Of clean paper. 1t then resem-
bles pepper and only needs few
sharp breaths of the manipulation
just sufficient to make them roll-to
cause each speck to ignite and ex
plode, meantime giving off long, thin
column of dense purple smoke. If
barrelful of nitrogen iodide could be
made II would have to be kept moist
to prevent danger BY comparison gun
powder is a mild, innocent, inoffensive
material"

Analysis.

There was once a young man who
was paying court to three different
beautiful damsels. Each was fair,
each was sweet, each was charming.
So much of a triplicate similarity did
they have that he did not know how
to choose between them. So he went
to wise old man and laid his trou-
bles before him.
SIS there clock at each houseT'
asked the wise old man.
"There is"
"And what does Esmeralda say
when the clock strikes 11?'
''She says the clock is SLOW"
"What does Eulaie sayT"
"She says the clock is just right"
"And what does Evangeline say"
"She always says the clock is fast"

ther evidence. Evangeline is the one
that really loves you."-Judge.

BURGLAR Medicine.

"a society woman once asked me
what she should do If burglar were
to get into her room and awaken her
from Sleep" said former police cap
tain. II told her to do nothing except
sit up in bed and squeal for help at
the top of her lungs. That's the medi-
cine for Mr.. Burglar. Not one Of the
gentry in 10000 will do aught save run
like a deer when a woman begins to
yell. The sure enough professional
will not harm anybody unless corner
ed, and to shoot is the last thing he
contemplates in his philosophy. An
amateur loses his head and uses his
gun, but egular-never."-

The Moon,

The moons mean distance from the
earth is $4,000 miles. When it is at
the perigee-nearest point-it is 225, 900
miles and when at the apogee-far-
thest point-more than 251.OO0 miles
from the earth. The actual diameter
is estimated at Z,153 miles, or a little
less than three-elevenths Of the earth's
diameter. The moons volume is
therefore about one forty-ninth that
Of the earth, and its mass is one
eighty-eighth Of the earth; consequent
ly the force Of gravity is SO much less
at its surface than it is at the earth's
surface that body weighing 1000
pounds here would weigh on the moon
only 1853 pounds.

STILTON CHEESE.
It Differs In the Making From the Or
binary Cheese.

dnary Cheese.
Stilton cheeses differ from ordinary
cheeses in the method of manufacture
Each Stilton is made in a circular
mold, or vat, two feet deep and about
nine inches In diameter, perforated at
the sides and bottom When the milk
has been turned into curd by means of
rennet it is transferred into the vat,
which is lined with coarse woven
cloth, with ladle. When thin layer
Of curd covers the bottom of the mold
a little dry salt is sprinkled over it.
This is supposed to create the blue
mold often found In Stiltons. Then
more curd Is added in layers until the
vat is full. The whey gradually drains
through the cloth and out Of the holes
into the pan in which the vat stands.
After the curd has stood for twenty
four hours a tin disk is laid on the
top and a weight applied to hasten the
expulsion Of the whey. When quite
firm, the cheese is removed from the
vat and placed on shelf to dry. After
some days the cloth is taken off and
the cheese is left to ripen in special
room, the temperature Of which never
varies.-London Answers.
