INDIAN NAME, FOR WHISKY
Called "Fire Water" Because Of Their

When the Hudon's Bay Trading
company began its trading among the
indians it was found that by selling
Ithe Indians liquor they could more

tries. .-..
! The first whisky or intoxicant of in.
ferior quality was distilled in England
and brought to America in large bar
,rels, but in transporting it overland
1t was found more convenient to
divide it into small kegs. ;. ,>..>
The traders soon became aware of
the fact that by diluting the whisky
with water more furs could be OBJ
tained. This was practiced for some
time, but the Indians learned that
good whisky poured on a fire would
cause it to flame up, whereas had the
whisky been diluted the fire would be
quenched. 1t was by this simple ex-
pertinent that the, term fire water" DO
came q common word among Indians,
"A chief who had experienced tho
bad effects of whisky among his peo-
pie said it was most certainly distilled
from the hearts Of wildcats and tho
tongues Of women from the effects
1t produced.-From Bonfort's Spirit

Unused Doors.

With slight trouble and small ex-
bense an unused door may be most
advantageously converted into a book
case by having a carpenter set up q
vertical board on each side of the
door-janb and upon the Sc boards--to
the saving of the door-frame itself
nail the cross-piece upon which the
book-shelves are to rest. Then have
your woodwork painted or stained to
match the door behind 1t, and hang 4
curtain of canton flannel, denim, or q
more ornamental and servicable ma
terial from rod fastened just inside
the door-jambs. If the recess be good
and deep; If shallow, as the doors
tings are apt to be in our newer
houses, have the rod fastened across
the outside Of the door-recess. A
door thus treated will accommodate 4
surprising number of books. .

BLACK LETTERS AND WHITE
Former ls Better Because 1t Can Be
Read at Greater Distance
Ill.,. Than the Latter.

There is tendency on the part OF
railroads to adopt signs with white
letters on black background, not
realizing that the black letter on q
white background is easier to read
and can be seen at a greater dis.
tance. This follows in an interesting
way from the structure of the retina
of the eye. . re-.
The impression of letter at the
limit of vision is received on the
ends of small bundle of nerves
which convey to the brain a sort of
mosaic impression. A nerve can
only transmit to the brain informa.
tlon as to wether or not a ray Of light
Is falling upon 1t, and when a nerve
is partly in the light and partly in
darkness the sensation is the same
as though all Of it was in the light.
1t follows, therefore, according to
the Scientific American, that all
nerves on the dividing edge between
any black and white area transmit
the sensation Of light so that all
white lines and white areas appear
wider and all black lines and black
areas appear narrower than they real.

white letters grow thicker and cannot
be distinguished. There are circum.

white letters, but in such cases legt

Cast-iron MAGNETS.

The difficulty of making good cast
iron permanent magnets has been
overcome by a very simple process.
The iron casting, after being machined
to the required dimensions, is heated
In gas. furnace until the iron can just
be handled without distortion through
softening. ...: ~..-
1t is then plunged in chemical
bath, which removes superfuous ma
terials and leaves the iron clean. FL
pally, it is magnetized' by means of
electric coils.
In strength of field, cast-iron mag.
nets are from ten to fifteen per cent.
inferior to those of steel, but they are
equal in magnetic permanence, and
cost, for intricate patterns, only one
half as much as steel magnets.

'NoGI ORDERED TO MARRY
Japanese Hero Took Bride Practically
at the Command Of His su-
perior Officer.

The Countess Nogi was a woman no
less remarkable in many ways than
her famous husband. The circumstan.
ces Of her marriage with Nogi, When
he was q brilliant young officer, arr
unusual In the extreme, especially In
Japan.
! She was the daughter Of Sadayoki
:Yoj1, and one day she was sitting In
the window of her fathers house In
Tokyo watching the troops march
past, when she saw gallant young
officer in command and Immediately
fell in love with him. Her father
found it out and found out who the
officer WAS, and later Nogi was ap.
preached to bring about match.
He would not hear OF it, as he had
dedicated his life to the nation and did
not intend to marry. But the youn6
lady would not endure this attitude,
and her father approached one Of tho
high officers, a superior of Nogi's, and
this officer fell in with the idea at
once, saying the match would be most
suitable and it was just what Nogi
should do. 49,.
The word was given from above to
the young of1cer. and Nogi practically
married Miss Yoji at the command OF
his superior officer. The union turned
out to be an ideal one, as the subse.
quent history of the pair and their two
brave sons has proved The Count and
Countess Nogi are regarded by the ma
ton as the most exemplary couple that
could be found anywhere. She was
every inch as much a Samurai as he
was.-Tokyo correspondence of Lon.
