Was Too Oblioino.

Fresh from the lecture on polite
ness the street car conductor went on
duty resolved to extend courtesy to
all. From the car barns up to 99th
street he put his resolution into ef
feet. He assisted the feeble and
heavy-laden, he smiled serenely under
unmerited abuse and he hurried nc
one unduly. At 98th street he no
ticed that woman In the middle seat
was preparing to leave the car at the
next corner. The child beside her
was too big to cause her any particu.
lar trouble in alighting, but the con
ductor had been pleased with the way
the woman smiled upon the child. SO
he hurried forward to help.
The woman stepped down first and
the conductor, with one sweep of his
arm, set the child down beside her
His signal to go on was followed by q
scream, then another and another
boo hoo" howled the boy, and my
child! Bring my child back here
cried woman in the car. Half q
block further along the car stopped.
He isn't mine," gasped the woman
when she and the boy had caught w
with the car. Il only just smiled al
him."-New York Sun.

Artificial snals.

Snails, the only genuine part Of
which are the, shells are now being
sold in Paris, and it is said that the
imitation of the real article is SO close
that many epicures have high opin-
ion of the sham product. But 1t Is
presumed that they do not know that
the snails are artificial, and they are
certainly ignorant of the method by
which the snails are manufactured.
Snail-shells. it seems, are bought from
the dust-men and rag-pickers, and aft
er being cleaned are filed with
lights" or cats meat the soft flesh
being cut into corkscrew form, so as
to fit the shell by skillfully designed
machine. The receptacle is then seal
ed by means of liquid fat, and the es-
cargot is ready for the consumer. The
secret came out in consequence of an
action brought by a man employed at
the satisfactory to recover damages
for finger mutilated by one of the
machines. The artificial snails find
q ready market.

A Wonderful Clock.

A very interesting electrical clock
was exhibited at a recent American
exposition. This clock Is different
from the ordinary in having no hands.
Minutes are indicated by means of 60
radial rows of light, each containing
80 electric globes. The hours are in.
Dictated by shorter rows of colored
lights. In place Of the hands. two
lines Of lights sweep over the face
Of the dial. one indicating minutes and
the other hours. Each second the IL.
Elimination in an outer circle Of lights
move forward one lamp, and when an
entire circuit has been completed. the
row Of minute lights Is advanced one
interval. The hour hand moves at
five minute intervals. The dial il
formed on the face of a huge pendi.
lum. which swings to and fro over an
arc OF Is feet. The pendulum Is
feet long. and its weight, with the s..
4S5 lamps and 1900 connections re.
quired. is 5000 pounds. Over a mile
OF wire was used in making the con.
nections Of the clock.

Soap.


Were I a soap-maker." said a girl
in red bathing suit, Il should give
away with every cake of soap soap
dish like those at the Hotel Surf-a
soap-dish that doesn't drain.
"The right kind of soap dish has a
perforated plate on which the soap Is
laid. This plate drains OF the water
into a bowl below, and the soap dries
at once. But the Surf hotel soap
dishes have no drain plates; In them
your soap lies always in little pool,
and, when you go to use it, about a
quarter inch Of 1t comes OF on your
hands in the shape Of slime.
THE world is full of these non
draining soap dishes. have tested
them. 1 have proved by actual test
that they waste so per cent. of the
soap. Hence, were / soap-maker. I'd
give them away to my patrons.
"The mustard maker. you know,
grows ricr out Of the mustard people
leave on the edge Of their plates. By
supplying all his patrons with non
draining soap dishes, the soap-maker
would at once have to double his
plant"

He. Too, = Burglar.

All was quiet within the house, and
the night was far spent. Thus for.
tune favored the burglar as he stealth.
lily acquired the plate and valuables
and put them in his capacious bag.
But oh, the horrible thrill he got when
an icy-cold hand grasped his wrist!
It was not q ghost he saw when he
flashed round with his .bull's-eye, but
a man with a keen look Of sorrow on
his detected countenance.
ooh. my poor. misguided friend"
murmured the intruder sorrowfully.
Would you rob me of my valuables!
Think, my man, what you are doing
II you have a wife and child. what
would they do II l sent you to
PRISON." The burglar seemed to be
somewhat moved, and he dropped the
stolen goods. Turn from your evil
ways, my brother" went on the IN
truder. "Your secret Is safe with
me-"
Then without a word our friend
made q hasty exit by the window. Tn
kind, loving. charitable old man. hav
ing quietly lifted the swag on oil
shoulder, after examining 1t to its ut
most capacity with useful articles
also took his departure. For behold
he, too, was a burglar.

Why Chess Was Invented.

OF all the theories which have been
advanced as to the origin Of chess,
for it must be remembered that the
exact origin is quite unknown, the
most plausible appears to be that the
ancient Buddhist priests invented the
game of chess so that the natural
fighting instinct OF mankind might
find an outlet without transgressing
the Buddhistic commandment, which
prohibited fighting. Although the chess
OF medieval and modern Europe was
undoubtedly derived from Arabic or
Persia sources. yet India was the real
cradle in which the game was nur-
tured. The words check" and
mate" mere phonetic equivalents of
the Persian words "Shah"-a king.
and "mat"-he is dead-the king is
dead-are conclusive proof of the Per
sian origin of the game so far as it's in
production into western countries ia
concerned.

The cedars Of Lebanon.


Very carefully enclosed and guard
I'd are the 200 remaining cedars OF
Lebanon, those famous trees that
once clothed all the sides of the Syri-
an mountains, says Harper's Weekly.
So tall and beautiful were they, In
comparison with the trees Of Pales-
tine, that the Hebrew writers cele-
brated them with extraordinary praise
and from the earliest times their soft
white wood was the glory Of the Jew
ish architecture. They were used IN
Solomans temple and in it's success
sor, and also In the church that Con-
stantine built at jerusalem. The
surviving trees are called by the
Arabs the trees Of Cod" and under
their wide-spreading branches the
clergy of the Greek church occasion
ally celebrate mass. Several Of the
trees in the grove are over 1900 years
old, and have height of 100 feet and
q circumference Of SO. In appearance
they more resemble the aged larch or
the majestic oak than the cedar that
Is known in America.

A European student of the Chinese
language says 1t is not so difficult to
acquire as Is commonly supposed
First. there is no spelling. You hear
and read of Chinese spelling. but it is
imaginary rather than real. Some
characters are made by combining
other characters, but each character is
word. There is very little infection.
and there are few unnecessary words
The language Is so simple that some
uneducated people use only few hum
dred words in all. There are many
beautiful and intensely interesting ex-
pressions. A Chinaman speaks of a
fault as that which is not" of repu.
tation as name tone" of obedience as
hearing words" of politeness as
guest breath" gunpowder is fire med
fcine and to get the smallpox is to
flower out" Such expressions ars
found in nearly every lesson. The
study of Chinese Is difficult because
1t must be learne~ from Chinaman.

Tho Abuse Of Bayonets.

The Abuse Of Dayonets.
A veteran soldier was talking about
bayonets.
"A lot of unjust obloquy was heap
ed on our bayonet makers during the
Civil war;" he said. "The makers were
blamed for defects that were really
the faults of us soldiers.
II saw some interesting bayonet
tests the other day that proved this.
First. In these tests. a lot Of swords
and bayonets, and they came out in
superb condition. Then they were
put through the improper ordeal
that too many Of us subjected them
during the war.
"A piece Of bread was toasted on
a fipe bayonet, and then the hot steel
was thrust suddenly into cold water,
as often happened In the field on the
sudden appearance Of an ofncer. The
result was that the magnificent metal
became as brittle as glass. Dropped
on the floor, 1t broke into i've pieces.
Three bayonets were arranged in
tripod shape and steak was cooked
under them. These bayonets cooled
slowly, and, when cold, they were as
soft as lead.
"And for these things, in the Civil
war. many q bayonet makers name
was disgraced."

soldier. Another characteristic was
sense of humor which stood him III

and contributed not little to tne
gayety Of his comrades.
"At the battle Of Cold Harbor, just
before making the charge and wnilo
under the Confederate fire. our col.

Prayer on a Grain of Wheat.

Prayers have been written and en-.
graved on many very small objects,
but only one person has been patient
and painstaking enough to inscribe a
complete prayer on a grain of wheat.
One day Sir Moses Montefiore re-
ceived small tin box in the mail On
the cover Of the box was written: "A
prayer for Sir Moses Montefore. by
Bauch Mordecai. son of Zezi Hirsch
Scheinemann. Of Jerusalem" The
box contained single grain Of wheat,
on which were inscribed in characters
SO small that they could only be read
with the aid of powerful microscope,
the 3S6 Hebrew letters of the prayer,
and the date of the year (Hebrew
reckoning), 5645. Sir Moses kept the
prayer in his private desk until he
died. and it is now preserved with re.
ligious care by one Of his friends.

AMERICA NAMED By GERMAN


In the interesting town OF b. De'
lin French Lorraine. there was recent
lily held celebration Of special inter
est to the people Of this side OF the
world, and In lesser degree to Spain
| and Italy. It was In honor OF the four
hundredth anniversary Of the publica-
ton there of the geographical Work OF
Martin Waldseemuller. In which Amer
lea was suggested as the name OF the
New World.
There have been many theories ana
much controversy as to the origin OF
the name America, and not few have
resented the slight which was put
upon Columbus in this connection.
Some have denounced Amerigo Yes
oucci-who, like Columbus, was an
italian sailing under the flag OF Spain
for stealing the glory due the real
discoverer.
But the chief wrong, II any was
done, was committed by the German
geographer In the book which was
published In 1907, and on the map
which he published year or so later.
On that map the name America was
applied. however, only to the southern
part of the New World. The northern
part was called Parias.
It is possible. perhaps probable, that
vespucci, not Columbus, first reached
the mainland of America: and 1t was
Vespucci who grasped tho important
fact that q new continent had been
found, and not simply a part OF Asia.
OF that fact Columbus died In ignor'
ance.
But rightly or wrongly, the name
of Amerigo vespucci, trader. traveller
and writer, was given to the New
World, and given to remain forever.
And now q lofty tower rises among
the hills Of Lorraine to commemorate
the suggestion which resulted In the
designation.

Ancient Coffee Found Good.

While tearing down the century.
and-a-half-old Fisher mansion which
had gone to ruin through neglect. in
Jamaica Plain. Boston. the workmen
the other day came across a $50.
pound canister of coffee stored away
in a blind attic, which they discov.
cred on removing the roof. The work.
men distributed the coffee among the
neighboring residents, who declared
that small spoonful. of the coffee
was sufficient for a family of ten. The
flavor. the residents declared was de.
licious. In an alright canister. the
coffee had increased in strength and
flavor. 1t has been stored away for
probably over 125 years, the early
jewellers in the Fisher house probably
laying in supply at the time of the
tea tax, which helped to bring on
the revolution.
