Old Iondon Cookshops,

Hediaeval London, besides being q
"city of taverns." was famous for it's
cookshOps, such as the place on the
river bank described by Fitzstephen in
the thirteenth century; There every
day We may call for any dish Of meat,
roast, fried or sodden, fish both small
and great. venison and fowl. If friends
come upon a sudden wearied with
travel to a citizens house and they be
loath to wait for curious preparations
and dressings of fresh meat let the
servant run to the water side, where
ell things that can be desired are at
hand" This particular place Of public
cookery apparently did an indoor as
well as an outdoor trade, for FitZ-
stephen further described it as being
used both day and night by multi
tudes OF soldiers or other strangers
who refresh themselves to their con-
tent on roast goose, the fowl Of Afri-
ca and the rare gadwit Of IOnia." But

When the Waiter Wins.

Two men were wrangling as TO who
should settle with the waiter for the
luncheon. When the question had been
finally decided and the contestants had
gone the waiter said to one Of his reg
ular customers who was a witness OF
the scene: That's what we like, for ev-
cry time it happens we come in for an
extra tip. The man who couldn't get
the check has only one way to get
even. and that is by giving the waiter
something, and nine times out Of ten
he does it and makes the amount more
than he would have given if he had
paid the check This one ordered ex-
ira cigars and left the change for me.
We like the give me the check Quar-
Eels."-New York Tribune.

DEATH OF THE WORLD.
When Water Disappears and Air Gets
Too Thin to Breathe Then
Will Come Dissolution.

The age Of the earth is placed by
some at 5OOOOO,OOO years, by others
100000 years, and still others Of
later time place it at 100000 years.
None place it lower than 100000,
knowing what processes have been
gone through.
Other planets go through the same
process. The reason that other planets
differ so much from the earth is that
they are in so much earlier or later
stages of existence. The earth must
become old.
Newton surmised, although he could
give no reason for it, that the earth
would lose all its water and become
perfectly dry. Since then it has been
found that Newton was correct.
AS the earth keeps cooling it will be-
come porous, and great cavities will
be formed in the interior, which will
take in the water. 1t is estimated
so far that the water diminishes at the
rate Of the thickness Of a sheet OF
paper each year.
At this rate in 100000 years the
water will have sunk mile, and in
100000 the water will have disap-
peared from the face Of the globe.
The nitrogen and oxygen in the at
mosphere are also diminishing all the
time. 1t is in an inappreciable degree
but the time will come when the air
will be so thin that no creature we
know could breathe it and live. The
time will come when the world cannot
support life. That will be the period
OF old age. and then will come DEATH

FIVE SENSES NOT ENOUGH.
Our Limited Scale of Consciousness
Shuts Out Many Vibrations.

Our Limited Scale of Consciousness
Shuts Out Many Vibrations.
Between the vibrations that we call
electricity and the vibrations that We
call heat we imagine there must be
other vibrations filling up the gap, but
we do not know, simply because we
have no senses that can comprehend
them The spectrum is just such a
little scale Below the darkest red at
the lower end we cannot see; at the
other end as the vibrations get faster
and faster through the orange, the blue
and the violet is another unknown
gap-that is, we cannot see it. But
surely the vibrations are there. Some
Of them, for instance, that we have
never seen and never can see mark
their presence on a Photographic plate
And this same spectrum may be used
as an analogy to describe spiritualistic
phenomena Just as there are limits
beyond which our own senses can tell
US nothing so may there be psychic
forces at work beyond the limits of our
consciousness. These are seemingly
supernatural to US when we witness
their effect, but they really are no
more supernatural than the Y ray that
pierces the solid body or the invisible
ultra violet ray that marks the photo

India Ink.

In both India and China there are
thousands Of people who manufacture
india ink as a side line to their regu-
lar business, working at it in the win
ter at night and on days when they
are not otherwise employed. 1t is
made by burning some kind OF oil in
a lamp with a very long chimney, usu-
ally made in joints which can be tax
en- apart for greater convenience in
cleaning out the SCOT which makes
the ink. Almost any kind Of vegeta-
BILE oil will answer, and in districts
where petroleum is found even coal oil
is used in making the cheaper grades.

"Men drunk from liquor and men
drunk from ating are most sus-

said q Chicago health commissioner in

OF pneumonia are OF patients who con-
tracted the disease after a drunken de-
bauch or who were drunk from over
feeding" the commissioner continued.
People drunk from overfeeding, l
think, are almost as immoral as those
who stupefy themselves with liquors.

MANS RESPECT FOR ANIMALS
We Must Recognize That We Are
OVeTseers Of Other Forms OF
Life on Earth.

II We have any belief at all IN a dif.
ference Of moral faculty between our
selves and the animals We must recog-
nize that we are, so far as our powers
over nature will permit, overseers Of
other forms of life upon the earth, not
merely for our own advantage but for
the good of the universe We cannot
deny that the struggle for life exists
and that we must take part in It and
do our best to destroy those forms
OF life which are hostile to ourselves.
We cannot go so far in respect for
life as to found a society for the pre-
Eention OF cruelty to bacilli. But at
the same time our respect for life IL
a sign OF our triumph, however imper-
feet, over the struggle for life; and
the greater this respect becomes the
more we are men conscious Of the
promise and significance OF all life
and the less we are beasts involved In
the blind waste Of nature.
Very slowly and imperfectly this
sense Of the promise and significance
OF all life grows in US. II is not only
an intellectual, but rather a religious
and emotional idea 1t appears first
in men like st. Francis with a pro-
phetic sense Of a nobler state of be-
ing. From them 1t is communicated
by the beauty Of their example rather
than by argument. to other men; and
perhaps when it has become a matter
OF course In all civilized human be-
ings we shall find that it is Of prac-
tical value and it will attain to .
scientific justification.

"CREASING" A WILD HORSE.
For One Captured by That Method
Fifty Were Killed.


Will c. Barnes, writing in McClure's
Of the various methods Of capturing
wild horses in the old days on the
plains, says:
"'Creasing' was one OF their devices
This consisted in shooting a bullet so
that it struck the animal on the top
Of the neck just in front Of the with
ers and about an inch or so deep close
to the spinal column. The shock tenn
porarily stunned the horse, and the
hunter ran up and tied the animals
feet together before he recovered. A
rope halter was slipped on his head.
A gentle horse or sometimes a work
OK was led up alongside the prostrate
beast, and he was securely necked up
to the gentle animal and thus could be
handled easily. Old mustangers say,
however, that for one horse caught
this way fifty were killed and that as
a matter Of fact the method was not
used very much except In an emer-
gency, when a hunter, after days Of
attempts to capture. finally took the
risk Of successfully creasing an un-
usually fine animal rather than see
him escape altogether.

Champaune Corks,

The manufacture of the best kind
OF corks, those made for champagne
bottles, are never intrusted to ma
chimes. The ordinary common cork is
made by machinery, but the best work
invariably is done by human hands,
and the champagne cork cannot be
trusted to a machine. All the blem-
ishes in the cork have to be taken into
consideration, so this work is done by
hand labor.
