DROPS C. t.i..E.!.

Thrown Upon a Reahot Stove, They
 Will Never Touch 1t.
 It is Impossible to throw few drops of water on redhot stove. The wa ter can never touch the stove at ali. What is seen is few drops rolling rapidly over the surface, gradually getting smaller until they disappear. place one can see under them to the other side of the room, thus proving that they are not in contact with the stove itself.
 What actually happens is that the bottom of the drop changes at once to steam or vapor on coming close to the hot surface, and this vapor is supplied by the drop as it gradually goes away. So the drop rests on cushion of va. DOT until it is entirely dissipated. This state of water is known as the spheroi- dal state and is of interest simply on account of it's peculiarity and seeming ly paradoXical behavior.
 The reason why the drop is not i'm mediately evaporated or changed to steam is also very interesting. The water vapor that intervenes between its under surface and the redhot stove is very bad conductor of heat, and consequently the full intensity of the heat cannot get to the water itself, only the amount transmitted through the vapor being available for this pur- pose.-St. Louis Republic.

ENGLISH COUNTRY BANKS.

It Takes Strong Iron Bars to Win the Depositors' Confidence.
 Rural customers attach great i'm. portance to the banks outward ap- pearance. A thrifty tradesman having opened a deposit account with bank distant some thirty miles from his home, the cashier had the curiosity to ask why he travelled so far when there was branch of the same bank almost at his door. The depositor smiled knowingly and replied. Il lodged op- posite here all the time while this bank was being built. so I know it's safe." Balance sheets to the rustic are a meaningless and arbitrary ar- engagement of figures. Iron bars he understands.
 In a city in the north of England there is a bank widely known for the artistic merit of it's doors. Designed by an eminent sculptor, they are ex- ecuted in relief in copper or bronze and appear to represent tableaux from 'Aesops Fables" and Greek history. About a week after they were unveil- ed an old man who had been a de- positor for many years withdrew his balance and took it to rival bank al- most opposite. Questioned as to his reason for changing. he replied: 'I don't hold wi them doors of theirs. Punched tin ain't businesslike, and it ain't safe. e."-LOndon Saturday Review.

Trotter and Thorouqhbred.


 ''The trotting horse is infinitely more practical and useful, speaking on broad lines, than the thoroughbred" said a we'll known horse breeder, to a Washington Herald reporter "A thor oughbred has the speed for burst of time, but when it comes to do hard work every day, day after day and all the year around, it cannot con- pete with the trotting horse. The thor oughbred is rattle brained, has no sense, is beyond all control. It doesn't know when to stop or what to do in a race; it simply runs until it cannot run any longer, whereas the trotting horse is under the control of it's driver from start to finish and obeys orders at any time. The thoroughbred natu- rally exceeds the trotter in burst of speed, but in the long run it cannot compete. As a general proposition, it is accepted among horsemen that the trotting horse is superior to the thor oughbred for general purposes"

A Queer Ornament.

Some years ago we found in a secret drawer of pearl embroidered work box three locks of hair fastened to smallss enamel heart shaped mounts, with silver eyelets. Two were inscrib- ed "R. c. obt. 1Gth April, 1864" l" "R. C.. 1664." The third had no inscription at all. In this box I now keep an en- graving of portrait of Elizabeth. queen of Bohemia. which plainly shows the curl of hair ill her left ear. attach ed to pearl earring. The painting, by Gerard HonthUrst, was engraved by c. Vertue
 When showed these hair earrings to q gentleman of some considera be learning he informed me that an uncle of Anne, wife of King James l.. was afflicted by Il malady, still prevalent in Poland and some parts of Russia, which consists of a growth of hair and flesh pendent from the ear. on which it is dangerous to operate owing to the profuse hemorrhage which ensues. He added that in consequence of this roy al infirmity a fashion arose in the six teenth and seventeenth centuries of wearing locks of hair pendent from the left ears. I believe there is DOT trait of q Stuart lady still at Ham House so adorned.-London Notes and Queries.

And Reynard Retires the Worse For
 the Meeting. a
 In a recent number of a German sporting paper a forester describes scene which he witnessed in clearing in the forest.
 He came one afternoon upon a big black cat occupied apparently in the pursuit of mice, and from the shelter of tree he watched its movements through a fieldglass. After a few min utes an old fox made it's appearance. Sinking slowly forward toward the cat, it lay down within few steps of it, ready to spring.
 The cat had observed its enemy, but beyond keeping a sharp lookout on it's movements it made no sign. Shortly a young fox joined the old one and al most immediately bounded at the cat, which sprang aside and struck it's as- sailant so efficaciously across its face with its sharp claws that it retired as quickly as it came. After an interval the old fox. advancing slowly and carefully, made its attack, but the re- suit was the same. The cat, splitting and hissing, struck out hard, and the fox retired discomfted.
 A minute afterward it again sprang forward, but this time the cat got much the best of it and was left in peace.-London Globe. s-...#.

HIS HAPPY THOUGHT.
It Let the New Train Dispatcher of
 Without an Accident.

N Let the New Train Dispatcher of
 Without an Accident.
 An operator for a western railroad who had served his company long aud well was called into the office one day and asked if he thought he could hold down the job of night dispatcher He promptly replied that he could and was told to report for duty that night, and his chief instructed him ill what he was to do. Just after the chief left the office it began to blow and snow, and the trains commenced to run late. The new night dispatcher soon had de veloped a bad case of ''rattleS" and al- most cried He did not want an acci- dent, and he could not handle the trains. So a happy thought struck him. As fast as Q report came in he replied, directing the conductor to take a siding and wait for orders, and it was not a great while until he had every train on the division sidetracked. Then he took a book, lighted his pipe and sat down to wait for daylight. In the morning the chief appeared, with anxiety written all over his face.
 "Any accidents, Johnny?" asked the chief.
 'Not an accident. I've got lem all on the sidetrack, showed in and waiting for orders, and you will have to get lem out. am going to blow this job." It took the chief and his force nearly all day to get the trains strengthened out and traffic resumed on the road.

The Pilot Fish.

A little fish about which many inter- esting fancies cluster is the pilot fish. Aelian tells us that pilot fishes were supposed to be kindly disposed toward sailors and therefore liked to approach ships, which they continued with and guided until they reached land. They were deemed sacred to Neptune, the god of the ocean, who protected them from designed injury; consequently a man who had ventured to eat one soon afterward lost his son by drowning. Apollo was said to have changed a fisherman named Pompilus, who had crossed him in his loves, into a pilot fish and condemned him for all eterni- ty to the task of gratuitous pilotage. He is also said to be a pilot of sharks and is said to warn the latter away from baited hooks and other dangers and lead them to food. There really does exist a strange bond of friendship between the huge shark and this little member of the mackerel family, which are often to be seen travelling together, although the pilot fsh's supposed care to warn it's companion of impending danger and to provide food for it is q fallacy pure and simple.

An EnoIish Election Trick.


 Corruption at elections in England took many curious forms in olden days, but there have been few more ingen- ious plans for securing the election of the desired candidate than that prac- ticed at Seaford in 179O. It was doubt full which way the polling would go unless a receiving officer could be found willing to pass some twenty-six persons who still wanted seventeen days to complete the six months resi- dence required by law. Accordingly it was arranged that the candidate should insist on all the six oaths de handed by statute being administered to each voter individually, and this, together with the time spent in deal ing with every frivolous objection rais- ed by counsel, made it impossible to poll more than four votes a day, so that the twenty-six where duly quail fled by the time their turn came to V0tQ

rnrnnr Mas GrnH

The great artist Turier Is said to have been peculiar in his way of sell ing his pictures. At times nothing could induce him to part with one of them, and at other times he would re- ceive a customer with the greatest af liability of voice and manner and read fly settle upon the sum to be paid for one of his treasures. On one occasion when he was offered 91, 900 apiece for some old sketch books he turned them over leaf by leaf before the eyes of the would be purchaser, saying, "Well, would you really like to have them" Then, just as the man proceeded to take possession of the books, Turner, with a tantalizing 'I dare say you would!" suddenly thrust them into a drawer and turned the key in the lock, leaving the customer dumb with in- dignatiOn,
