It Was Muffino.

Raymond was disguised one day at

these easy balls were muffed alter

Old London leqend.

The church in Woburn square, Lon
don, is said to occupy the site Of the
Field of Forty Footsteps" to which
a tragic legend attaches. The story
dates from the days Of Monmouth's
rebellion. According to the version
given in Mr.. ]. s. Ogilvy's "Relics and
Memorials of London Town." two
brothers fell in love with a woman.
who, either from callous vanity or
fearing reprisals from tho unsuccess-
full suitor. would not say which was to
be the favorite swain, suggesting that
they should fight duel and to the
victor she would give her charms.
They came. from the town to this usb-
urban field. The woman calmly sat
down to await events. She had not
long to wait, judging from the num-
ber of footprints. when one Of the
brothers fell dead. and as the victor
approached she held out her arms to
greet him, when, with sudden re-
vulsion of feeling for his brothers
death, he slew her as she stood, and,
turning the weapon, he drove II
through his own heart. So they were
found stiff in death with the foot
prints stamped in the wet clay. where
they remained indelible through sum-
mer heat and winter frost; no green
thing would grow nor any man build
himself a dwelling there. Streets
were erected, but 1t was not until the
nineteenth century that men took
heart of grace and built a church
there, when the conservation Of the
ground rolled back the curse and the
memory of the legend grew faint and
faded aWay-Every Evening.

TORRIcELlI'S VACUUM.
Experiment That Led to the Invention
of tho Barometer.


The barometer was invented by Tor
ricelli, a pupil of Galilci, in 1643. In
attempting to pump the water from a
very deep we'll near Florence he found
that in spite Of all his efforts the H.
quid would not rise higher in the
pump stock than thirty-two feet. This
set the young scientist to thinking,
and as he could not account for the
phenomenon in any other way he was
not slow in attributing 1t to atmos-
pheric pressure. He argued that wa
ter would rise in a vacuum only to
such a height as would render the
downward pressure or weight OF the
column Of water just equal to the at
mospheric pressure and, further, that
should a heavier fluid be used the
height Of the column could be much
reduced. To prove this he selected
glass tube four feet long and after
sealing one end filled 1t with mercury
and then inverted it in a basin con-
tanning a quantity Of the same pecu-
liar liquid. The column in the tube
quickly fell to a height of nearly
thirty inches above the mercury In the
basin. leaving in the top Of the tube
vacuum which Is the most perfect
that has ever been obtained and which
Is to this day called the Torricelli
vacuum in honor Of It's discoverer. The
name Of the instrument means "air
measure" and It's fundamental prin-
ciples cannot be better illustrated
than by the above described expert
ment.

SosRIETY A MODERN VIRTUE.
Some of the Ancients Were Past Mas
ters in the Art of Getting Soused.

The world is nearer real temperance
today than at any time in it's history.
Teetotalers may not believe this, but
If they read the following they will
realize that the world at least is for
getting how to get really good and
drunk" There are a few persons who
have gained regulations for the
amount of food and drink they ha-
bitually consume, but Only few. In
comparison with previous generations,
this is a most abstemious age. The
men of 60 or 70 years ago were great
drinkers, but for pointers on how to
get drunk and spend money it is neces-
sary to turn to the ancients.
Caesar, on a certain occasion, while
drunk on wine, is said to have given
Eutychus, his charioteer, tip amount
ing to $4,000, the largest money tip
on record. The most reckless of our
modern millionaires thinks he's making
an awful splash when he tips his
chauffeur a twenty dollar note.
One of the Caesars fed his charger
on wine and barley i'm a golden vase.
One of his dinners cost half a million
dollars His supper bill for four months
was $20,000,000.
Philip of Macedon was drunkard
He always left the banquet table stag
gering. Alexander the Great. his son,
inherited the weakness for drink. 1t
took him two days and two nights to
sleep off a royal jag. He died of drink
at the age of 80.
Dionysius. the younger tyrant of Sic
lily, went on sprees which lasted three
months at a time. He lost his eye
sight through overindulgence.
Nero was in the habit of sitting down
at noon and sticking there until mid
night, eating and drinking all the time
Tiberius was a sincere drunkard. Af-
ter becoming emperor Of Rome he was
drunk so often that his army nicknam-
ed him "Biberius," meaning "tippler'
He had two pals, Flaccus and Piso,
with whom he went on sprees. At the

then, to our establishment, he quietly
remarked

crazy with the toothache. Give me a
pair Of pincers, a sponge and some
water and I'll soon cure him. You
come out and hold him for me-, he
commanded, turning to me.
"'Just as I expected! he exclaim-
ed Two hollow, aching molars that
would drive q strong man mad, much
less a poor little dog! Cause, too
much kindness in the form Of sweets.
Give me the instruments.
I'm five minutes Bobs was in the
kitchen making frantic effort to lick
his mistress hand with very bloody
little tongue and not succeeding be-
cause-well, because his mistress
hands were not at liberty, they being
covered by the hands Of Bobs' erst-
while dentist. I may as we'll add,
though it has nothing to do with the
subject under discussion, that Jim
went back there that evening, and
the next morning he took the first op-
portunity to mention the young lady,
speaking of her as my fiancee.'
Then the Doctor looked down on
Mazie's chestnut crown and smiled
reminiscently and tenderly.
II don't mind telling you" he said,
that II 1t hadn't been for Bobs and
his toothache I mightn't have been
an old bachelor. She had soft brown
curls, just like MaZie's."

NORTH MAGNETIC POLE.
II Is Not a Stationary Point, But Is
Constantly Shifting.

Only the experts understand that the
north pole and the north magnetic poie
are two entirely different things. AS
matter of fact, there are few localities
on the earths surface where the COM
pass points due north. The reason is
because the north magnetic pole or
area lies in the vicinity Of King Will
liam's Land, just off the arctic coast
of North America, in Bothnia. When
this magnetic pole is between us and
the north pole the compass points due
north. AS we go either east or west
from this line it is cas- to see that
the compass is off to a certain degree.
If we were to travel north of the mag
netic pole the needle would point
south; west of it the needle would
point east. Sir James Ross in 1881
located the north magnetic pole ap-
proximately at a point up in Bothnia.
In 1903 Captain Roald Amundsen in
the ship Giba set out on three years
expedition, relocated the magnetic
pole and made the northwest pas
sage" for which mariners have striven
since the days of Henry Hudson. Ter
restrial magnetic force is different in
every part of the earth's surface and
is not always the same at given
point. 1t is subject to regular daily
and yearly changes. Amundsen post
ed himself near the seat Of the mag
netic power and for nineteen months,
day and night, with his party, took
readings of their instruments. both in
clination and declinatiOn. He also
made short excursions into the region
of the magnetic pole and was able by
the aid of the declination observations
to prove that the magnetic north pole
does not have a stationary situation,
but is continually moving. But the
general location is where Sir James
Ross first had the honor to place it

"Grey" and "Gray."-What is [

"Grey" and "Gray."-What is the
difference, If any, between grey" and
gray" aside from the matter Of SPELL
ing?
The editor Of the oxford dictionary
some years ago made extended inquiry
as to usage and found that opinions In
London varied. Replies to his ques-
tions showed that in Great Britain the
form grey Is the more frequent In use,
despite the authority Of DR.. Johnson
and later photographers, who give the
preference to gray. Many correspond
ents said that they used the two forms
with a difference of meaning or appli-
cation, the distinction most generally
recognized being that grey denotes a
more delicate or lighter tint than gray.
Others considered the difference to be
that gray is a warmer color or that it
has a mixture Of red or brown. An
other group held that grey has more Of
sentiment, gray more Of color, which
may mean that grey Is a suggestion
rather than a positive outline.-New
York Press.

Thrash's attorney, 5y which
agreement Mr.. w. A. Thrash
and R. P. Carroll are TO plead
guilty to violating the law and
be fined. and discontinue the
business they were engaged in
from last Friday night. The
case against W. P. Thrash will
be tried and his connection with
the cafe determined.
It will be remembered that an
order from the Supreme Court
was obtained, which order re-
strained the Judge Of the Cir.
cult Court from the further en-
forcement Of the injunction
granted by him by which the
cafe was closed July 4 and for
several days. until the Supreme
Court could determine on Oct.
s whether the restraining order
should be made permanent. Un-
der the arrangement, the further
action of the Supreme Court is
unnecessary, and il will remain
for the Circuit Judge to impose
the fines on ". A. Thrash and
R. P. Carroll and try the case
against W. P. Thrash. unless the
court should see fit to go further
and investigate what appears to
be acts Of contempt. Some Of
the county papers. a few weeks
