With a Grain of Salt.

The earliest record of the saying
with Il grain of salt dates back to the
year GO B. c.. when the great Pompey
entered the palace of Mithridates and
discovered among his private papers
the description of an antidote against
poisons of all sorts. which was COM
posed of pounded herbs. These, ac-
cording to the recipe, were to be taken
with a grain Of salt. Whether this
was meant seriously or as warning
sarcasm is not known, but thenceforth
1t became the custom to say that
doubtful preparations should. be taken
with grain Of salt. From this the
meaning got transferred to sayings of
doubtful truth. attic salt was
Greek synonym for wit or penetration.
and the Latin word SAP had some
what Of the same meaning. 1t is thus
easy to see how the saying "cum
grano sails" could have come to mean
the necessity of accepting doubtful or
suspicious statements with a grain Of
salt"

Tho Salt Charm Failed.

Some three years before the Franco
German war broke out Count Secken-
dorff accompanied King william |. on
his visit to Napoleon Ill. and was
present at the celebrated dejeuner Civ
en- in the Pavilion de Diane at Fon-
tainebleau. King William, who was
sitting next the empress, was asked
by her to pass the salt, and in comply
ing with this request he threw a little
salt over his shoulder. Upon the en-
press exclaiming, why do you do
thatT" the king explained that in his
country 1t was the custom to do so
when passing the salt to ward off bad
luck and any chance of quarrel. The
empress in a prettily turned speech at
once replied. But surely there is no
danger of anything interfering with
our friendship" In less than three
years the Germans had crossed the
Rhine.-London Spectator.

Why Not Pass the Plate?

They ought to pass the plate at
church weddings 1t comes natural TO
do It in church. and to do so would
add pretty and useful employment to
the duties Of the ushers. who always
have little spare time before the
bride arrives. And. really. getting
married is more expensive than ever.
and. though wedding presents are ex-
cellent in their way. what the young
people usually need the most is cash.
Instead of the list of gifts which the
newspapers sometimes print we should
read. 1.-The collection yielded $4,000
000." That would be nice. 1t is much
easier to store and care for money
than plate and glass! And money al
ways fits and there is no such thing as
an embarrassing duplication of dollars.

Cause of TWILIGHT.

Twilight is phenomenon caused by
atmospheric refraction. When the sun
gets below the horizon we are not i'm
mediately plunged into the darkness of
night. Although the sun is below our
horizon, rays of solar light are bent or
refracted by the terrestrial atmosphere
and continue to furnish some slight
illumination. The process continues
with diminishing intensity until the
sun is so far below the horizon that
the refracting power of the atmos-
phere is no longer able to bend the
rays enough to produce visible eff
feet. The time after sunset that the
sun reaches such position varies with
the latitude of the place. There is less
twilight at the tropic zone than at the
temperate or frigid zone. This is due
to less time taken by the suns rays to
pass through the atmosphere, at the
tropic zone the suns rays being per-
pendicular and at the temperate and
frigid zones oblique.-New York Amer

The stock car has to be hauled to

loaded must be rushed to market;
tonnage sacrificed for time. 1t is
hauled at very cheap rate com.
pared with the cost of transporta-

The railways education of the
stock shipper has done great things
for him. He must be furnished
good pens, plenty of water, feed
and troughs, scales to buy his stock
over, and have his hogs watered
along the road; he must be COM
pensated for bedding the car, which
often he fails to do, apparently
with view to justifying some kind
of a claim. Some of the more
highly educated ones have learned
to order short car, when only
large ones are available, and have
it billed "short car ordered, large
one furnished" A" This is especially
true if the car is not going to run
over track scale.
