Cost of First Class TraveIina.

While on the Pacific ocean I met a life insurance man who told me that he travelled constantly and that his expenses, afoat and ashore. averaged S11 a day. He kept no expense ac- count, he said. At the end of the year he charged the company $11 a day for expenses, and that was almost exactly what he spent. I made a calculation and found that the present trip has cost us $11 a day each, almost to q penny.
 If you want to know what travelling costs, here Is an estimate you may de- pend upon. This means rapid travel ing, by railroad and steamship, and sightseeing in the towns with the as- sistance of guide. The estimate in- cludes the purchases traveller is com pelled to make and cannot be reduced much unless you travel second class and deny yourself many things.-Ed W. Howe in His Travel Notes.

Remote Oriain of Alcohol.

No one knows when alcohol was first made. It is commonly taught that it was first distilled by the Arabians about the tenth century, but there is little doubt that they obtained the secret from Italian doctors, who had long been practicing 1t. Paul Rich ter in the Berliner Klinische Wochen- schrift shows that knowledge yof aqua ardens." or burning water" may be traced as far back us the sec ond century A. b. to Christian father named Hippolytus who possessed Il recipe analogous to those handed about during tL1 middle ages.

How to Read the Moon.

Few people can tell at a glance whether the moon Is waxing or wan Ing. Here Is a whimsical rule to re- member by. It Is very simple to those who know Latin and is not difficult for those who do not. The first thing Is to notice whether the moon is like D or a C-that Is, whether the full semicircular curve is on the right or the left. If the moon shows a D that naturally stands for decrescit. Ut wanes."
 But then comes in the great principle ''The moon is always deceitful," and one has to understand the opposite of what the moon says, so that moon which shows a D is a waxing moon. while waning moon is like c.
 Those who have no Latin will no doubt look to see whther the moon says it Is decreasing" in which case they will understand that 1t is waxing, while a waning moon will deny that it is "decreasing."-New York Sun.

NeuIected Neichborhoods.

You can find in almost any town a neglected neighborhood." The easi- est thing to do with such a neighbor- hood Is to keep on neglecting it
 1t is so easy for Us to study these topics as if they were about other places and people than ourselves and our homes. Is there a neglected cor her in your town or In your county2 If there is, what are you going to do about 1t? Not What have you been doing about it?'' or What ought you to do about it?" but What are you going to do about it?"
 If you can't get the committees in- terested do something yourself. Do not be afraid.
 The thing Is to get started. You see. as soon as you lave started something the neighborhood is no longer neg lected. And then 1t will be an easier matter to get some one to come In and help.-Christian Herald.

Common Weakness.

An interesting light is thrown on the purely human side of the late Edward VII. of England by story told of his inability to resist the temptation to appropriate a particularly good anec- dote.
 Some one told a delightful story to one of his majesty's young nieces. That is capital she said. 'I must tell 1t to the king.
 "No," she instantly added, T won't, for if you tell uncle a good story he forgets in a day or two that it was told to him and goes about repeating 1t to every one as his own"

According to Pliny, wild rose leaves reduced Into a liniment with bears grease make the hair grow again In most marvellous fashion" Pliny also recommends "ashes of roses as serving to trim the hairs of the eyebrows" Roses figured prominently in several old time strong drinks, such as rosa soils, which consisted of rosewater mixed with aqua vitae and favored with cinna- mon.

Fate of the peanutm.

A popular author. who writes human interest stun for several newspapers, went to the department of agriculture in Washington one day and secured n peck of diseased peanuts. The scien. lists in the department were having a hot argument us to whether or not tho peanuts, if eaten, would kill n human being. and the author took the edibles to his office to have them photograph ed. He saw n big story in the fact that the high browed scientific men could not tell when peanut was fatal.
 The next morning, when he entered his office, he found that the whole peck was gone. He instituted a search, and finally discovered that the colored Jani- tor had stolen and eaten the peanuts.
 After keeping the Janitor under oh- servation for three days and seeing that he neither peeked nor pined, the author abandoned his story and wrote 10 the department:
 "Quit arguing. The peanuts arc harmIess."-Popular Magazine.

Tennis Is pronounced the oldest Of all the existing ball games. 1t Is im- possible to give it's origin, but it was played in Europe during the middle ages in the parks or ditches of the feudal castles. It was at first the pastime of kings and nobles. but later it grew popular with all classes. The French took it from the Italians and the English from the French.-New York Press.
