He Obeyed Orders.

Sir Henry Roscoe tells this of the
scientist Faraday and his assistant
Sergeant Anderson: Anderson was
the sole assistant to Faraday and OF
course was utterly uneducated in scien,
tific matters, but he could obey orders
which is not always a characteristic OF
an educated man. One day Anderson
was told by Faraday to keep stirring
a pot containing some chemicals over
a fire until he returned, Faraday being
in the habit of going upstairs to tea in
bis rooms and coming down directly
afterward to work In the laboratory
during the evening. For some reason
he was prevented from coming down
again and forgot that he had told An
derson to watch the pot. On coming
down the next morning he found An
derson still stirring the pot. having
been at it the whole night and thus
carrying out the order which was Civ

A 1enor and His Beard,

Mario, the famous tenor, was ex-
cessively proud of his fine beard. One
day in Russia, where he had become
the favorite of the court, the Emperor
Nicholas ordered him to sing in an
opera dealing with an episode in the
eighteenth century and necessitating
a clean shaven face. Mario refused
to obey. The emperor became angry.
1t was in vain that the empress tried
her arts Of persuasion. Mario was in
flexible.
81 am ready" he said, 'tto give my
life for your majesty, but not my
beard-never!''
Nicholas would not stand any cross
ing Of his will.
"Sing or gor' he said.
Without more ado Mario threw up
all his engagements, packed his trunks
and went.

Burnino Cold.

One who has been reared In either
the temperate or tropic zones and who
is unacquainted with the mysteries OF
the chemical laboratory can hardly
imagine a degree Of cold that would
reduce the temperature of any known
substance to that point where, If the
hand were brought in contact with 1t,
the result would be the same as II ne
had received a burn. But that such
things are possible are well known
to chemists and other experimenters.
One noted experimenter with liquid
air gases, which require wonderful de-
grees of cold for their success! says
that a heat burn is a luxury when COM
pared with burns he has received from
cold substances. A drop Of liquid gas
on his hand made a blush blister.

not heal for six months. while heat

Mrs. THORNTON as she laid aside her

Buttons and Women's Clothes.

'Why does a woman button her gar
ments on the left side?" The question
is discussed in the London Tailor and
Cutter by several correspondents, one
of whom advances this theory: ''For
ladies to have the buttonholes in the
right side of their garments has its
origin in the times when it was neces-
sary for lady when going out at night
to have a gentleman escort, who sup
ported her upon his left arm, leaving
his right or sword arm at liberty.
Thus the lady's left hand would be
free to fasten or unfasten her cloak
at her own pleasure and without in
convenience"
