The Way You Do It.

One reads that Darwin never under stood an equation, and the chances are that Isaac Newton could not have pass cd any examination in literary CT aes- thetic subjects with his idea that poet ry was ingenious nonsense and statu- ary only stone dolls. Faraday had no Sift for-mathematics, and it is 8 moot ed question if Napoleon BoLaparte could have passed college entrance examination in French. But it was their ability to do some one thing well that has turned the world upside down at various times in its forward march, not their inability to do badly what all the world only does moderately well. It makes little difference what you do. The difference lies in the way you do it. The business world is oyerstocked with poor people looking for good DO asitfons. while good positions are wait ing for good people to i'll them.

The Mace.


 The mace was originally a potent weapon of offense, originating doubt less in that earliest and most common weapon the wooden club. It was an essential part of a knights accouter- ment, being useful at close quarters. For ready convenience it was hung at his saddlebow. Says an ancient poem:
 And with his heavy nlase of stele
 Then he gave the kying his dele.
 The besague and baston were varied forms of the mace. The mace used on horseback was small weapon. usual ly of steel That used on foot was much longer and commonly@of of wood, with head armed with iron rings and spikes. It was carried by the escort of magistrates and others as a ready protection against violence. As soci- ety quieted down and it's original use fell into abeyance the thing assumed the ornamental appearance it now has, it now being carried in a mere honor ary form.-London Notes and Queries.

No Wonder the Cooking Wac Bad.

No Wonder the Cooking Was Bad.
 We took up scientific publication the other evening and discovered to our surprise that helium boils at minus 273s degrees O. This is something like 3O5 degrees below. zero F., Here most of us have been going along trying to make helium stews or boil corned heli- um and cabbage, or cook heliun fricas- see with dumpIings and have wonder ed what made the dish turn out wrong. We've all been trying to cook helium above zero. when it should have been quite the other way.
 s We also discovered that silver melts at 961 O., while gold meits, at 1.062 O.. While the article does not give any particulars as to greenbacks, our ex- perience is that they will melt at all most any temperature between the first and the fifth of the month.
 And iron will boil at temperature of 2.45o O.. so it is quite useless. not to say futile, to attempt to boil helium and iron together Chicago Post.

rha snft Ana.uar.

There was an old darky who drove the solitary hack in a small town on the Virginia shore where the late Sen ator Daniel had spent the season. In good weather the senator, who was lame, was it's only patron, but in storm the old vehicle was so popular that he had narrowly missed several engage ments owing to the old mans taking more orders than one antiquated chariot could possibly fill.
 One stormy night. the senator said: ''Now. Jordan, be here tomorrow morn ing in time to take me to the 10 o'clock boat without fail have an important engagement in Washington"
 Jordan drove away, promising to show up in good season. But next morning a quarter to 10 came and no Jordan. Finally, at five minutes to 10, he drove up, and the senator climbed in and started on mad race to the wharf, arriving there just in time to see the boat pulling out.
 ''Now, Jordan cried the exasperated Daniel, .I said we'd miss itE'

M'KEN.NA RIGHT,
 TERRY DECLA- ES
City Engineer Agrees that
 Monument Books Were Not Altered By Democrat

It is probable that. among other things, considerabl may be said at the Board of Relief meeting tonight about errors that have crept into the block maps for Main street, as pre- pared by City Engineer A. H. Terry Some of the appellants who will .ap- pear tonight may be prevailed upon to say a few words about the mistakes which affect their grand lists to an extent of several thousands of dollars.
 City Engineer Terry was asked to- day about the statements of former City Engineer M. F. McKennaN in re-. gard to the responsibility for the all legged errors.l MT. McKenna said that the monument books and other rec ords of the office, on which MT. Terry based his maps, had not been altered by him during his term of office
 MT. Terry said he guessed this state ment is correct and that MT. McKenna wasn't to blame for the errors.
 The last block map 'of Main street was prepared in February, 1897. It showed 42.89 feet as the frontage of the Budau property, where the latest maps have shown 8 gross mistake. The map was not signed by the then city engineer who turned it over to the city.
 MT Terry said he hadn't been ask ed to appear at the relief board hear ing tonight.

indian conputation of Time,


 Certain of the reservation Indians still cling to the calendar of their an cestors. The Indian method was to compute time by sleeps and moons. A. sleep is twenty-four hours, and a moon is month. There is also midmoon, where the sun is at 12 o'clock, merid- ian. The hour is indicated by pointing overhead. When anI Indian pointed quarter way up the sky he meant 9 o'clock. When he pointed quarter way down he meant o'clock. J Sunrise was the eastern horizon and sunset the. western. Night was indicated by hold ing the hands together; palms down ward, stretching out the arms and holding the body and head bent for ward When there was a moon the time was Indicated in the same way as was the sun. Were an Indian ask ed the distance to a certain place or how far he had come he would say so many sleeps or days travel. A sleep. as describing distance, was about thirty-f1ve miles when walking delib- erateIy. or from fifty to seventy-1ve miles if going in hastelw with a message. New York Press.

 Attorney Judson then asked Mcclure if he was connected with the P. J. MeGuire association which held an outing in Fairfield last week. Mo about it. The witness was asked if he could change; his testimony if it were. shown that he pa1d for the beer that was furnished by Eckart Bros, for the outing. Mcclure still main tained that he was not connected with the affair
 then?'' demanded Attorney Judson.
 The witness declared he didn't know. < McGuire testified that he had kept an orderly place since he moved from Main and Congress streets to AT Greg ory street.
 Eugene B. Norton. assistant super intendent of the Connecticut Clasp Go, said Mcclure conducted an order iy saloon The witness told about the procession of people carrying pails of beer who paraded on Park avenue be- fore McGuire's saloon was opened. 4. Willis F. Hobbs, president of the Bridgeport Hardware Co, appeared against McGuire. He declared that West End manufacturers were both cred by nearby saloons because the waorkmen left their machines to go out and get a drink.
 The present hearing is on a Femon- Strance against McGuiEe's application for a transfer of a license. The re monstrance against McGalire's previous application was carried to the Su- prerne Court of Errors and there or dered tried over in the lower court. The hearing was still on at press 91c517-

H.uinn . lIlohbx lf, MiddIe Aae.

Busy middle age needs hobby as a recreation, a. diversion, getting away from the stress and strain of active mental or physical labor. A clerk in the municipal court in Chicago built himself a little observatory and pur- chased a telescope. The neighbors laughed and called it his cheese box. But the articles he wrote about his discoveries in the heavenly realms at tracted the attention of learned as- tronomers. who began to ask. ''Who is he2" And they were astonished at what he had accomplished with his meager equipment. But what of that What if no one had known of his little hobby? It would still have served it's purpose in the broadening of his life and the preserving of his mental and physical energy-Farm and Fireside.

Human Horns.s

In the anatomical museum of the Edinburgh university four horns are preserved which had grown upon hu- man heads. One of these is about seven inches long, as thick as the little finger and crooked in shape. A label attached to it bears this inscription: ttThis horn was cut by Arthur Temple. chirurgeon. out of the head of Eliza beth Low. being three inches above the right ear, before witnesses, the 14th of May, 1871. It was a-growing seven yeares. Her age is fifty yeares."
 The three other human horns also graced the heads of ladies.
 In Sir Robert Sibbald's History of Fife," a curious book published about the beginning of the eighteenth cen tury, we read: IA person of quality, a lady of great age in this shire. had a horn growing out of her toe and put her from walking. It was cut off by pr. H., and she was freed of pain and walked' ''

They May Not Use Rlo+tins Paper.

There are probably few houses. busi7 ness or otherwise, in England, that do not possess a sheet of plotting paper. It is one of the commonest articles of everyday use. And yet there is at least one calling whose activities are of vital importance to the nation, the members of which are absolutely forbidden to use plotting paper-that of registrar.
 Registrars are supplied with special kind of ink, which is permanent and very black In order that it may be thoroughly effective it must be allowed to dry of its own accord.
 India rubber or any other form of eraser is likewise forbidden. If the registrar makes slip of the pen that slip must stand. If he writes word wrongly he must draw a line through it and write the correction above Even smudges and blots must be left unerased.-LoRdon Answers.
