A Safe Proceedjno,

Lord Lyons, English minister at
Washington during the war between
the states and afterward ambassador
to France, was a diplomatist to the
core. He was exceedingly tactful in
action and had the rare art of keeping
his own counsel. When Sir Edward
Blount called upon him one day at
the embassy in Paris he found that a
well known journalist had preceded
him. The visitor was laying down the
law in loud tone, and when, after his
departure, Sir Edward was received
he took the liberty Of saying:
MAY 1 be allowed to ask If it is
quite wise to discuss state secrets in
such loud tone? 1 heard every word
that was said. my lord, as sat in the
anteroom"
"Ahw said Lord Lyons. But even
then you could not hear what I said,
for / said nothing"

Snakes Method of Attack.

No snake is able to jump or spring
from a coil in order to strike, as often
represented in pictures. 1t can only
strike when it resembles the letter S
and is lying fiat on the ground. 1t can
then only reach the distance supplied
by stretching the body out straight.
The two curves in the figure supply
this distance, which Is about half the
length Of the body. No snake jumps
through the air to it's victim or springs
clear from the ground, rising upon its
tail. Such stories and pictures are all
false. Neither do they coil like rope
and strike from that position. They
may coil partially, but the part Of the
body that does the striking is ever and
only that part which makes the figure
and lies fat on the ground; hence no
serpent can strike when stretched out
it's full length.

Cleanliness and Arsenic.

In Syria and Carinthia there Is
much arsenic eating among the peas
ants. The women take 1t to give
themselves a good complexion and to
make their hair fine and glossy. The
men take it because they believe that
it gives them wind in climbing in the
chase after chamois. In Syria and
Carinthia it is known that an arsenic
eater can never be broken Of the habit
and that If arsenic be compulsorily
kept from the eater death rapidly en-
sues. 1t is believed in the lamar
and this is perhaps true-that an ar
senic worker is fit for no other work.
He must remain at this occupation.
Health and breath fail him at other
empAyments. Eventually it may be
that chronic arsenical poisoning en-
sues. But this may be STAYED of. If
not wholly prevented, by scrupulous
cleanliness, by care taken not only to
wash in the changing house." but to
battle freely at home. AS one Of the
foremen said to the writer, Against
arsenic the best antidote Is soap taken

Rluckinu Sheep.

The pure bred sheep in Shetland are
not shorn, but plucked. The process
takes place generally in June, when
the fleece is ripe" and the silky wool
can be pulled off without pain. This Is
called roofing and is much less dam
aging to the young fiber than clipping
with shears. The wool when thus ham
died retains it's peculiar softness, so
that any one of experience can tell
whether the material of knitted ar
ticle has been plucked or shorn. 1t
ripens first upon the neck and shout

BILE in some sort poodle that Is

handling prevailed at one time, for we
read that in 1916 the Scottish pr1Vy
council spoke of the custom as still
kept up 'fn some remote and unciv1l
places" and James l. wrote to tell
them that it had been put down In Ire
land under penalty of a fine. Upon
this they passed an act on March II.
1916, deploring the destruction Of sheep
thus caused and imposing similar fines
on those who should persist in the
practice.

A TIP ON CHECKS.
Advice by Woman Who Always Fills
Out the Stub First,

Advice by Woman Who Always Fills
Out the Stub First.
The west side woman was paying
with a check for some articles she had
bought at a department store, and she
was carefully filling in the stub Of her
check book first. ooh, don't stop for
that" urged her shopping companion,
who was In hurry. "You can do that
when you get home"
Unmoved, the west side woman fin
1shed the stub with special care, then
wrote the check, gave it to the sales
man and said to her impatient friend;
Before l was married took care of
some Of my fathers accounts. The
first time he ever asked me to fill out
q set of blank checks for him so he
could sign them he told me: One rule
you must always observe write the
stub first. Make a VOW to yourself,
like unto the VOW of Jephthah, that
you will never write a check until the
stub Is filed. If for any reason you
should fail later to write the check it
would be a simple matter to cancel
the stub, but If you write a check and
leave the stub blank you open the
door to hundred chances Of mistake.
No ones memory can be trusted on
that subject Never try to trust yours.
Let the law Of "the stub first be to
you as the law of the Modes and the
Persians' I have always found it
perfectly easy to follow that rule, and
that Is one reason I have a bank &C.
count today. My husband is never
afraid I will make him any trouble
with it."-New York Press.

There is as great a difference be-

and much broader than ours, is Of
rough white paper, with ragged edges.

few words and with no pictures or
designs, while ours are completely GOV,

the date when any note was issued

whom, can be ascertained from the
books. If the time was within five
years the note itself can be produced
Many are the stories Of attempts to
counterfeit these notes, which have al
ways been failures. AS the average
time between the issue and the pay
ment of the notes is only five or six
days the fact that counterfeit is in
circulation is known almost at once
and the system of English bankers and
merchants of keeping the numbers Of
the notes received and paid gives the
clew whereby the offender is quickly
apprehended.-EXcha

A PiscatoriaI Gunner.

The jaculator fish, the piscatorial gun
ner Of the Javan lakes uses his mouth
as a squirt gun and is a marksman Of
no mean ability. Go to a small lake or
pond filed with specimens of jacula-
tors, place a stake or pole in the water
with the end projecting from one to
three feet above the surface, place
beetle or fly on top of the pole and
await developments. Soon the water
will be swarming with fnny gunners,
each anxious for a shot at the tender
morsel which the experimental has
placed in full view. Presently one
comes to the surface, steadily observes
his prey and measures the distance.
Instantly he screws his mouth into the
funniest shapes imaginable. discharges
a stream Of water with precision equal
to any sharpshooter and knocks the fly
or beetle into the water, where he is in
stantly devoured by the successful
Nimrod or some Of his hungry horde.
This sport may be kept up as long as
the supply of beetles and flies holds
out.

A Death Feiuninq Plant.

That certain insects, birds, mammals
and reptiles habitually pretend to be
dead when danger threatens them is a
well known fact, but it Is generally be-
lieved that this stratagem is resorted
to only by animals. In South America,
however, there is plant-a species OF
mimosa-which resorts to death feign-
ing, evidently for the purpose Of pre-
venting the grass eating animals from
eating it. In it's natural state this
plant has a vivid green hue, but di-
rectly it is touched by human finger
or by any living animal it collapses
into a tangle Of apparently dead and
Withered stems.

largely on the great, grassy savannas,

The Air Mile,

The air mile is a unit Of measure
ment that came into use with the ad-
vancement of aviation. We have the
land mile and the sea mile, which is
approximately one-seventh longer than
the land mile Of America. The nautical
mile is often Incorrectly called a knot.
but a knot is a measure of both dis
lance and time. 1t is correct to say
that vessel makes ten knots, but to
say that she makes ten knots an hour
is tautology. The air mile is measured
differently from the land mile and the
sea mile. 1t is land mile minus the
retardation Of an adverse wind or plus
the accleration Of a favoring wind.
Thus an aviator could cover many air
miles while lowering over a given point
on the earth's surface. - Browning's
Magazine.
