An Old School Dominic.

l examined the contents Of the satch.
ell Of schoolboy Of tender years the
other day and found 1t to contain six
teen books Of study. The textbooks
covered wide curriculum, and the pc
rusal Of them awakened in me sympa-
thy for the schoolboy, together with a
feeling Of thankfulness that my own
schooldays had been passed in a more
stern If less strenuous age, when laws
were more in evidence than textbooks
I mentioned this subject to an old
highlander whose schooldays date away
back to the hungry fortes," and he
assured me that in those days he
trudged to school with Bible In one
oxter and a peat for the schoolroom
fire in the other. The Bible was the
only book possessed by each Of the
scholars, and it had to serve for all
purposes. AS a reading book place
names occurred which baf11ed alike the
tongues of schoolmaster and pupils to
pronounce. The master never was
known to admit defeat, however, for,
recognizing that discretion is the bet
ter part Of valor," he would extricate
a halting reader by observing sagely:
Pass 1t on, my lad. Yell never be
there. News.

Presidents and Their MESSAGES.

The custom Of presidents Of the
United States reading their messages
to congress prevailed up to the first
term of Thomas Jefferson, who discon-
tinued it. Various explanations for
Jefferson's departure from the custom
of Washington and John Adams have
been advanced. the most popular being
that Jefferson felt that 1t savored Of
royalty, seeing that the king Of Eng
land went in person to parliament and
read his address from the throne. An
other explanation was that Jefferson's
voice was notably weak. Jefferson
himself said in making the change, 81
have had principal regard to the con-
venience of the legislature in the econ
omy of time to their relief from the
embarrassment Of immediate answers
on subjects not yet fully before them
and to the benefits thence resulting to
the public affairs. "-Magazine of Amer

A Cleveland man who makes prac-

When the Sea Was Fresh Water.


The ocean was once merely brackish
and not salt, as it is now. This was
when the earth was in its first youth
and before there was any land showing
at all or any animal life in the water.
At this time the water was gradually
cooling from it's original state Of steam,
and the salts were slowly undergoing
the change from gases into solids.
Then came the appearance of land and
later on rivers, which gradually wash
ed down more and more salts, while at
the bottom Of the ocean itself chemical
action was constantly adding more
brine to the waters. At present it Is
estimated that there are in the worlds
oceans 100000 cubic miles Of salt, and
the most astonishing thing about it is
that if all the salt could be taken out
in a moment the level Of the water
would not drop one single inch.

oueer Mama Eor a Flower.

Every one knows that wild flowers
are known in various districts by local
appellations. Some of them are pretty,
many are curious, others merely quaint.
But there is one pretty wild flower, the
ordinary white arabs, beloved of bees,
low growing flower which edges
many garden paths. At GuildfOrd, in
Surrey, England, it is known as "wel-
come home the husband be he never
so drunk" The origin Of the name Is
not apparent 1t is believed to have
gained the name because the flower
shines out so white at night.

Drums In the Making.

The process Of making drums reveals
the same minute division Of labor that
is shown in all modern manufacturing.
How minute this is may be shown by
the fact that a single workman is able
to turn out more than 1000 pieces a
day of some Of the parts. The making

been used by David Garrick in the
eighteenth century. The money is
said to have been made by the wealthy

like real money. There was little mon
