Rainbow up.ide Down.

Not very many persons have ever seen an inverted rainbow, although the phenomenon sometimes appears. At the Italian geodynamic observatory of Rocca de Papa not long ago the di- rector and party of visitors were fortunate enough to see one. The morning was ,showery. and as the party looked down from an elevation of 2.3OO feet they saw in the Cam pagna perfect rainbow with its con- cave side up. the middle point bearing to the northeast From the Eiffel tower tn Paris one has alsorbeen seen. in this ease the rainbow sbejpg dou- ble and extending above apdz dzbeiow the horizon to form two Fconcentric circles nearly complete. Generally the Inverted rainbow is to .bee seen only In the mountains and then very rarely. The. phenomenon. of course, is due merely to the position of the observer, which must be above the refracting agent instead of below.-Pathf3nder.

The Colleges of Oxford.

Each college is built round a quad fangle with a large entrance gateway which often rises into a quasi tower. The rooms immediately over the gate way are invariably designed for the residence of the warden. provost, or principal of the college, so that the eye of the master may be over all who en- ter or leave the place. This mode of building still exists in India, having been introduced into Europe by the Moors when they conquered Spain, where we find that the compound, or quad, is. still used for the tethering of aH kinds of animals. Around the quad are arranged the chapel, library. hall or refectory, presidents lodgings, but tery and Kitchen. The students rooms generally occupy the upper floors. William of Wickham, the celebrated architect. wisely placed his taller build 1ngs-the chapel and hall-on the north aide to keep of the cold winds, the lower buildings on the south more free ly admitting sunshine.

"AEingr Q RuE.
 A. good deal of fraud is practiced in selling antique "Kazaks," "Daghes- tans" and similar rugs, for there are hardly any of these which are more than fifteen years old. They are "aged'' artifcially. but you must un- derstand nevertheless that these rugs are well made of the very finest wools. and the native dyes used are pure and good. When they have been madc they are lent in the village to ''the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker"-to any one, in fact, In whose house there is plenty of traffic. Here the carpets are trampled upon and made to look old. They are afterward washed in a running stream and then dried in the sun. And by these means the rugs get an antique complexion and certain gloss which are much ap- preciated. What may be called genuine antique" Is thus manufac- tured and sold in the bazaar for ten times or twenty times the price for which 1t could be bought in London Constantinople Letter.

paley on Private P.op.rty.

Archdeacon Paley, who died on May %, 1905, wrote Evidences of Chris tianfty." The archdeacon Hkened "the divine right of kings to ''the divine right of constabaesr and satirized the institution of private property by the simile of a hundred pigeons in a field of corn. n... instead of each picking where and what it liked, taking just as much as it wanted and no more" !" ninety nine of them were to reserve only the chaf and refuse for them selves and heap up the rest for ''the weakest, perhaps worst. pigeon of the hock," that, said Paley, would be just like human private property.

Eour White retaock.

In France in former times a horse that possessed four white stockings had the privilege of being free from toll. There is a passage in one of the works of Frederick Mistral, the famous poet of Provence, to the following ef- feet: By the rule of the road there was an old custom which was respect cd by all, that the carter whose leader had four white stockings, whether go- ing uphill or downhfll, had the right not to leave the road-that is, the nar- row paved part when the rest was in a bad state-and thus arose the prov erb, Who has four white feet can pass everywhere

An Old Ash Wednesday Custom.

At one time it was on Ash Wednes- day the custom to appoint an official of the English palaces to crow the hours of the day, like 8 cock, as a re- hinder of the denial of St. Peter. This pract1ce excited the furious indigna- ton of George II. His ignorance of English made it very difficult for the courf1ers to explain that the royal cock crower was not making fun of him The cock crower was a salaried officer at the English court as late as 1893.

Let it stand for two months longer, and then bake it two days. Remove the nails, throw the carp over the back fence and eat the board, but never eat the carp. aA

the most remarkable, as well as the
most effective, since it isn't so much
what is saved as what is earned that
counts. This necessary saving gives
the culprit added self respect which
comes with substantial achievement,
but it does something more if the
period Of parol is long enough. 1t
forms the saving habit, which is as
hard to break as the loafng habit,
or the drinking habit, or the thiev-
ing haiti which got the victim into

a notable fact that the man who
saves his money hasn't much time

ment. He attends to his own BUSH
ness and is apt to become good

THE VANISHING PUBLIC LANDS

There is a feature Of the report of
the secretary Of the interior which
helps explain the high price of land
as well as farm products: The
figures which deal with the passing
of the public domain into private
ownership. In 1860, the government
owned upwards of a billion acres.
Civilization has crowded out all
frontiers; farmers are now found on
most of the land suitable for farm
ing. But small fraction of that
b hon acres remains in the posses
sion of the government, and such as
does remain is either too dry, too
wet or too rough, forthe most part,
to be suitable as the homes of men.
This means that farm lands and
farm products are never likely to
become cheap again in this country,
and that il is the wise farmer who
clings to his real estate. There are
no longer farms enough for all. and
the population of the cities grows
much more rapidly than the rural
population. This growing popula-
ton must be fed. and, since there
cannot be larger farms, or more
farms to any great extent, it follows
that there must be better farms and
farm methods. And there will be.
Much as we lack in those particulars
there never was time when the
scientific study of agriculture re-
ceiyed more attention.

One of the favorite stories of thd
small towns is the enormous salaries
paid by the big firms to their emf
ployes in the cities. A man who can
do pretty well at his line of work
in country.town, hears upon every
side such remarks as this: Gee, but
he's a fool to stay in a little old
place like this; why don't he go to-
the city, where they'd pay him all
kinds of money!" As a matter of
fact, salaries, as compared with liv-|
ing expenses in the city, are lower
than in the country.
