Varieties Of Honey.

A sore throat and a rasping cough
led the writer to call in at the stores
with a view to the purchase OF honey
Lemon and honey ere extremely sooth-
ing, and the overplus of the latter can
be used on the breakfast table. The
assistant said they had plenty of
honey, got it fresh every day. What
honey is it?" asked the man with a
sore throat huskily. "Twenty-one cents
a pound" replied the salesman, and 1t
came out that he had no notion that
there were varieties of honey. His
idea was that all honey was English,
and he had never heard of Irish honey,
let alone of that superb quality that
the Connemara bees produce. or Of
the heather honey or that from the
West Indies. Grocers and purchasers
should be educated In the various ex-
cellences Of honey.-London Chront

HOW EXPERTS FORM OPINIONS
Distinguishing Marks May Be Forged,
but the Man Who Knows Can
not Be Deceived.

A dealer in antiques was talking
about. art experts. Take, for in
stance" he said, IAN expert in old
pewter. You think, perhaps, he dis
tinguishes old pewter by the marks
the Tudor roses, the makers name,
and so forth? Bless your heart, those
marks are continually forged. No, he
distinguishes old pewter by the feel.
ut is like the china expert. He,
with his eyes closed, will distinguish
hard and soft paste china. It's the
feel again-his fingers trained by
years and years of study till each
one has brain in it.
"Oriental rug experts have a very
subtle sense Of rug differences. Some
times they distinguish a rug by it's
smell-the smell of the wool and the
dyes. This seems incredible till you
think of the Harris tweed, that i'm
ported cloth that you yourself can
distinguish by it's smell-the smell,
which never leaves it, of the peat
smoke of the cottage wherein it was
woven on a hand loom
''Wool sorters, less highly paid
class of experts, can take up a hand
full of wool, and by it's color tell you
whether it came from Texas, from the
territories, from England or from
Canada. The soil, you see, gives it's
own color to the WOOL"

MORE OF ART THAN NATURE
Matron's Beautiful Figure, Admired
BY All, Suffered Sad Collapse
at Inopportune Time.

At a dinner party given lately in
Paris one lady vas remarked above
all others for the elegance of her fig
ure and the perfection Of her toilet.
During the mauvais quart d'heure be-
fore dinner she was surrounded by
host Of admirers, and one less bashful
than the rest ventured to offer her the
flower from his buttonhole. Il was
accepted but as the princess robe"
worn by the graceful creature was
laced behind, it was necessary to
fasten the flower to the front Of her
dress with a pin. The operation was
successfully performed, and the fair
lady was led in to dinner, by the
donor of the flower. They we're hard
ly seated when he heard a curious
sound like the gentle signing Of the
wind, and on turning toward his part
ner he saw with horror that the lovely
figure was getting small by degrees
and beautifully less" The rounded
torn had disappeared before the soup
was over, and long before the first en-
tree the once creaseless garment hung
In great folds about scraggy frame

dresses for Slight" ladies are made
with alright Innings and inflated

nate lady mentioned above had forgot
ten this little detail when she fast
ened the fatal flower to her bosom
with pin; hence the collapsel-La-

WELL DEFIEs SKILL OF MAN
Engineers Unable 70 confIne Marvel.
Gus Flow Of Gas In Transyl-
vanIa, Hungary.

There are wells Of many kinds:
those which gallons Of petroleum.
those which furnish water to sur
rounding populations, wells that are
scarcely damp, and wells that periodi-
cally inundate the neighborhood In
which they are found. But OF all the
wells In existence probably none com
pare in interest with a gas well in
Hungary.
This well is situated in Transylva-
MIA, and the popularity of 1t is that
it is not seen but heard The gas es-
capes by means of an iron tube with
such dreadful force as to produce a
noise which makes It impossible to
hear the human voice within a con-
siderable radius.
Many and diverse attempts have
been made to regulate and utilize the
output of gas, but so far the only de-
vice which has succeeded has been
to put an iron tube of % centimeters
in diameter into the earth. Through
this the gas has been escaping now
for nearly three years. Engineers
from various countries have been con-
Quoted to the spot and have thought
out ingenious ways to make the gas
available and to stop the dreadful
noise caused by it's escape. Every
plan has failed. On one occasion the
problem was believed to, have been
solved, but it was soon found that the
gas had merely been turned aside in
it's course and was escaping in the
same manner in adjacent territory
after having followed a track for some
distance below the surface.
The gas comes through the ron
tube with the velocity of cannon
ball and it is estimated that there Is
a daily loss of million of cubic me-
ters, the value of which amounts to
$6.O00-Harper' Weekly.

LONG USEFULNESS AT AN END
Some Would Have Thought Vase Had
Done Good Service, but Not
So Mrs. Spicer.

When Miss Ann Pickett dropped in
on her neighbor, Mrs. Spicer, and
found her moping over the fragments
of a gilt vase, Miss Ann sympathized
generously. 1T must have been quite
a costly vase" she said, looking adj
miringly at the pieces.
mo, it only cost six bits" Mrs.
Spicer acknowledged. "'Tain't that
feel so bad about"
Maybe it was a gift that you
priced because of associations"
Mrs. Spicer shook her head "Jim
and l bought it over in Tompkinsville
long time ago; | priced 1t because
It was such saving to the family
The first year we had it kept it on
the front shelf for a general orna-
ment; then when Jim's birthday came
and I hadn't anything else handy to
give, gave him the vase for his own.
Next Christmas, instead Of paying out
good money to buy something new, he
gave it back to me for a Christmas
present; then ! gave 1t to Jim junior
on his birthday, and he gave 1t to Sue
Belle on hers.
THE next spring all the kinfolks
got up birthday party for old Aunt
Sallie Spicer, and we took her the
vase; after she'd KEEP 1t a good bit,
she gave it to Jim's sister Jane for a
weddin' present, and afterwards Jane
gave it to me and Jim when We had
our china weddin'. was counting on
giving 1t to Jim again on his next
birthday, and now here it is smashed
to flinders.
81 tell you, Miss Ann, it most
makes me cry to think of losing such
useful family article-so near Jim's
birthday, too!"-Youth's Companion

NOT HER FIRST APPEARANCE
Well Meaning Church Woman Unfor-
tunate in Extending Welcome,
as Pastor Had Counseled.

II Is embarrassing sometimes, this
thing of sudden religious zeal; that is,
if you haven't made 1t regular BUSH
ness. Witness the mistake made some
time ago by good woman who was a
regular attendant at a church down
on Chestnut street, says the Louisville
Times.
One Sunday morning her pastor
preached an inspiring sermon on the
subject of welcoming the Stranger
Within Thy Gates" He urged upon
his membership the duty of giving a
cordial greeting to strangers who hap
pened in at that church.
This good woman was much i'm
pressed with Ills remarks. AS she
turned around to leave the church, she
discovered an unfamiliar face in the
pew Immediately behind her. With a
radiant smile she extended her hand.
Pm glad to see you out this morn
ing" she said.
Thank you," replied the stranger
with merry twinkle in her eyes.
do you come often?" sweetly asked
the good woman.
The stranger smiled. 'T have been
occupying this pew for the past seven
years" she said
There was an embarrassed silence,
and then the good woman turned and
started out. 1t was noticeable that
she made no further attempt to greet
any stranger that morning.

WORLDS MOST NOTED ECHOES
Some Reproduce Sound In MeIodious
Manner, Others With an Effect
That Is Terrifying.

Probably the finest echo which the
world knows is in the cathedral at
Pisa, where the Leaning Tower is.
Sing two notes and there is no re-
verberation; sing three and they are
at once taken up by the walls of the
edifice, swelled, prolonged and varied.
till they seem as a divine harmony
from some majestic organ.
There Is a cavern In Finland In
which, If you test your lungs to the
top of their capacity, there will an
swer you such horrible roarings,
meanings and mutterings that you
will be glad to rush out In absolute
terror.
The cutting down Of trees in GER
tain locality on the Hudson river
spoilt a splendid echo. A word shout
ed there was repeated AZ times.
Undoubtedly the most extraordinary
natural echo in the world is to be
heard by the side of small lake in
Bavaria. On one hand rises a perpen-
dicular cliff several thousand feet
high, while on the other side is
dense forest If a pistol is fired on
the lake the woods send back faint
echo that gradually dies away, but
presently It is heard from the cliff,
continually increasing In power, till 1t
bursts over ones head like a deafen
ing peal of thunder.

SEEMINGLY NO THRILL LEFT
Tales of Travellers Altogether Devoid
of Attraction In These Days
of the Telegraph.

II Is a pity In some ways that travel,
even to the uttermost parts of the
earth, has become in this age so much
a matter of course. Not so long ago
first sight of London or Paris would
bring a thrill to an American; and as
he entered into old world culture and
felt its settled traditions, he was apt
to be lifted out of himself by constant
surprises. But now, with hundreds of
periodicals recounting and actually
picturing the march of events, with
the signs Of Persia and the outcries Of
China heard here almost as soon as
they are uttered, travel and foreign
acquaintance have lost much of their
romance and refreshment. Set an in
telligent young American down in
front of the Tai Mahal, and its contour
will seem about as familiar to him as
the Metropolitan tower Nor do we
care to have returning travellers UNI
burdening their experiences to us or
showering us with kodak pictures. We
read OF and look at the rest OF the
world in the same way In which we
get a reckoning Of our country's do
ings at our morning or evening coffee.
After all. It takes less than half an
hour to send a message around the
world. and why should the man who
has been to Shanghai foist his stale
news upon us? II he has anything
worth saying. let him write book and
we win see whether We care to read 1t.
Youths just out OF college who have
craving for real adventure no longer
think OF gratifying II IN travel; they
seek employment In a coal mine or be-
come cowboys.

Cotton Gambling
Placed Under Ban

Washington, July 16.-Heavy pen
alties for gambling in cotton futures
are provided in the Beall bill, pass
ed by the house today by vote
of IS to 26. The bill has yet
to run the gauntlet of the senate.
Efforts we're made to amend the bill
to include provisions, prohibiting
gambling in grains, but these failed.
The supporters of the bill asserted
that the efficiency of the measure
would be impaired by adding COM
plicated administrative features.
They pointed out that a measure
now awaiting action in the house is
directed against gambling in grain.
The bill would prohibit all dealing
in cotton futures, and fix heavy pen
alties for purchase or sale of cotton
not actually in existence. Heavy
fines would be imposed for the
use of mails or telegraph for the
dissemination of cotton speculative
information.
Representative Fitzgerald, demo-
crat, New York. led the opposition,
declaring the bill unconstitutional.
and would handicap the cotton pro-
ducer and consumer.
