A Curious Painting.

In Japan there is a very famous painting which no amount of money could buy and which is the master piece of a ia nous artist who lived sev- eral centuries ago. Viewing the paint ing in the daytime. one is disappoint- ed. It shows nothing more than very commonplace landscape unrelieved by mountains or hills As soon, however, Gs night falls one begins to realize the peculiar merit of the picture, for upon the canvas there appears a luminous water buffalo (caribout browsing upon the grass at it's feet The artist who painted this picture discovered a cer- tain phosphorescent paint, which he obtained from the bodies of certain mollusks or fish, and with which he painted the buffalo that, invisible in daylight, is luminously brilliant in the dark. The secret of making this paint died with the artist. The picture, which hangs in a Buddhist temple, has proved a fertile source of superstition the priests claiming that the buffalo hides away in the shade behind some trees in the picture during the heat of the day, coming out at night co graze

Directions In Lendon.

In London and throughout the tight little island the words ''up" and l'tdown" have a peculiar significance. In going to London from any part of England you go "up.'' In travelling in any direction from the capital you go '+down." So in London itself every thing goes .fup'' if it goes in the direc- t1on of the bank-that is, the Bank of England-and going from that center toward any of the points of the com pass is to go down.
 The word bank, which is not only always spelled with a capital 'sB," but ds always uttered with an impressive ness that suggests an initial letter of the largest type, may be said to be in a sense interchangeable with city, a term of equal dignity and value in the eyes of Englishmen and likewise in var1ably adoened with capital tC." The city does not mean London by any means. 1t means certain limited section of London, the part where business is mainly carried on and where the great financial institutions stand.

favoring a strip of one kind of pave ment for automobiles and another for horse drawn vehicles but on the other hand there were various grades to be taken into consideration. He said that some states were ever experimenting with cut up hay and molasses pressed into the form of a block.
 Attorney Pullman read from the 'Good Roads Magazine that a cele- water bound roads were a thing of the past.
 MT Mcdonald said that if he would get a previous number he would see where the highway commissioner of Connecticut said water bound roads were the best thing tried yet. He said bound roads with system of espi- onage and the use of preservation for both new and old construction. In conclusion he said, If the state would I would lay gold bricks.
 Engineer P. W. Henry said in part: That the consensus of opinion of the representatives of 20 or 30 nations that something should be substituted for water bound macadam. That ma cadam is all right for road where less than 100 cars passed a day and where the cars do not run faster than 10 to 15 miles an hour. Great damage is done when the cars were run at IS to 20 miles an hour, or faster. The flat surface of Fairfield avenue was good for travel, but bad for travel. There was not anything the matter with the construction in his opinion and it is not road that is going to last without extensive repairs. He would advise the city to use biturl1f- nous macadam on the road. Robert A. Cairns, 25 years an engineer, and city engineer of Waterbury said in part: "Macadam is not the proper pavement to put on the road and stand up. It should be expected to wear out as it has done so. The road in Fairfield avenue is a failure. The maintenace charges of such a road would be exhorbitant and all out of proportion. If it was in Waterbury and he was in control he would not have permitted the work, although it was hard to conceive any city engineer absolutely in control of anything in the line of public Works.''

Close Ranne pueIs.

During the first fifty years of the old American navy, 1798-184S. the mortality of naval officers resulting from duels was two-thfrds that result ing from naval wars. In the eighty-two duels listed by recent writer thirty six men were killed, all naval officers except three civilians. The per cent of mortality was p, or five times the mortality of the federal army in the civil war. One-half of those not killed an these duels were wounded. The large number of casualties was un- doubted1y due to the short distance between the combatants. which cus- tomarily was only ten paces, or thirty feet. Tn few duels the distance was even less. In the Barron-Decatur duel 1t was twenty-four feet and only twelve in the Bainbrtdg Cochran dtlel

Startled Their Host

A New Yorker decided to give a din ner in recognition of hospitality show cred upon him by his friends recent ly. He asked two women he knew to go to a Jewellers and pick out some little souvenirs for the women guests, says the New York Sun. The host did not know it, but detective accompa- nied the gifts to the house. Each wo- man found at her place at the table a handsome box When these were opened there were cries of admiration. One woman drew out diamond ring, another an emerald brooch, another a diamond crescent, a fourth a necklace of pearls, another a diamond tiara, and so on, until the output of the boxes represented about $5o,oO0. The host had forced smile when the first box was opened. As each trinket re Veaied seemed more costly than the last his jaw fell Precipitation began to trick1e down his face, which got so red that the women became alarmed. Then they explained that the jewels were a joke and were borrowed for the occasion.

A Poor Fit.

George Graham Vest once won a case for his client by neat retort TO testify against Vests client there was brought into court a certain wit ness whose i'll favored countenance matched his unsavory reputation in the community. The mans testimony was most unfavorable to the defend ant, and so, of course, Vest proceeded to discredit his story. As the witness was unkempt and poorly clad, his clothes hanging about him in innumer- able folds and wrinkles, the counsel for the opposing side endeavored in their turn to make it appear that Vest was making capital of the poor ap- pearance of the man. MT. Vest, of course, denied this allegation in the course of his closing remarks, adding:
 'tGentlemen of the jury, if that mans face fit him as well as his coat he would be good looking man.
 The jury returned a verdict for the defendant

The Mules Ears.

Evo1utionists explain satisfactorily that the reason that the dogs ears lop is because for centuries the animal has been domesticated by man and has lain within the protecting influence of his hut and fire. The dogs ears are said to have originally stood upright, as do the woif's today, but gradually as the necessity for keen hearing be- came less imperative the dogs ears began to lop. But how about the mule? It is the duty of somebody to explain why the mules ears have not topped down. There is no need for him to have stiff ears. The donkey, the horse and their progeny, the mule, have been under mans protecting in- fuence for centuries and ages. The ass is the beast of burden of the Bible. His ears were stiff then, and they are stiff now. It would seem it was about time for them to begin to lop little. Indiana Farmer.

The Pieture ln tlne Wateh.

The following anecdote is related of Jerome Bonaparte: He had been play ing cards until he lost all his ready money, then pledged his rings and
 finally laid his watch on the table. It was a small gold one, the back of which opened with spring. A lady overlooking the game admired the watch and took it up to examine it. On her attempting to open the back Jerome immediately c1asped it and said that must not be done. His wife, who stood by, insisted upon knowing what was in it, grew angry, reproach- ed him with having some keepsake of a favorite there and finally, bursting into tears, quit the room. Jerome then opened the watch and showed to all present that it contained a beautiful miniature of his first wife, Betsy Pat terson, with the remark, ssYou see, hope, that I could not with propriety let her see it.' It was notorious that he remained deeply attached to his first wife long after their separation.

Teo cold Eor ths candIe.


 1 It is 8 cold climate in which a flame cannot keep itself warm. One of the scientists attached to the Peary ex- pedition has personally told of the eff fleet of intense cold on a wax candle that he tried to burn. The tempera- ture was 35 degrees below zero, and kts effects were felt not only by the members of the expedition, but even by the candle in question. It gave forth no cheery light such as might have been expected from it in other circumstances, and when it came to be examined 1t was found that the dame had all it could do to keep itself warm. The air was so cold that the flame was not powerful enough to melt all the wax of the candle, but was compelled to eat it's way down, leaving a skeleton structure of wax in the form of a hollow cylinder. Inside this cylinder the wick burned with a tongue of yellow fire, and here and there the heat was sufficient to perforate the outer covering and leave holes of odd shapes which turned the cylinder into a tube of lacelike wax, through the holes in which the light shone with a strange, weird beauty.-St. Louis Re-

Led bv the Nose.

An analytical chemist was retained as a skilled witness some years ago where there were questions of anaiyt- tcai chemistry. There was one case where a farmer had bought some arti- ficial manure, and he was being sued for the price of it. He resisted pay ment on the ground that the material had none of the qualities of manure at all. The expert chemist s one of the witnesses and had stated that, although the substance had the smell, 1t had none of the chemical qualities of manure Under cross examina ton he was asked, if that was so, how did he account for Hundreds of the best farmers having taken the manure for many years.

A Very Queer Custom.

A curious custom takes place in vil- lages of the Luxembourg district, Bel gium, in May. After Sunday service numbers of lads cluster round the church entrance and as the girls come out seize them one by one, one lad grasping q girl by the shoulders and the other by the heels, the two lifting her well up. while a third pumpkin passes under the human bridge thus formed. This is done in the presence of the parents, who themselves have passed through the same ordeal.

To Build Limo spreader.


Very useful as farming adjunct Is
q distributor for spreading lime, ashes
or bone on land. A machine built for
this purpose by New York farmer is
thus described:
The axle Of an old moving machine
is first cut In two and made as long
as the machine is to be. Five col
lars are then shrunk on to the axle
equal distances apart in such a man
ner as to hold the four feed bars about
one inch from the axle. One by three
eighths inch iron feed bars are then
fastened to the collars with tap bolts
and the heads cut or and riveted, max
ing a cylinder which acts rs a force
feed when revolving with tne wheels
The same wheels and ratchets are
used that were on the old moving ma
chine. SO it can be put in and out OF
gear.
The sides Of the hopper are con-
structed of one and one-quarter inch
lumber and the ends are made Of two
inch hard wood, with iron plates
screwed on where the axle passes
through to prevent wearing. The In
side of the hopper is made one-half
inch longer than the force feed cyl
inder, SO 1t will work easily. The
ends and sides Of hopper are made
separately and put together on the
machine. The whole bottom Of the
machine is then covered with heavy
galvanized iron with a by 2 inch
