Asphalt and an Accident.

Asphalt, with which SO many roads
are paved, was found by accident.
Many years ago in Switzerland natural
rock asphalt was discovered, and for
more than a century It was used Tor
the purpose OF extracting the rich
stores Of bitImen it c%ontained| III
time It was noticed that pieces Of rock
which fell from the wagons and were
crushed by the wheels formed a mar
veIously flne road surface when assist.
I'D by the heat OF, the sun. Apropcr
road Of asphalt rock was then made,
following upon the discovery. and in
1854 an experimental roadway was
laid in Paris. From that time the use
Of rock asphalt for the making OF
roads and pavements has increased
and extended to many countries.

.Lons Distances Laundry.

Some Of the smart set Frcnchmcn Of
today send their linen to London to DO
washed. Their ancestors used to so
even further afield IN search OF good
laundry work. So far back as the six
tenth century Frenchmen had their
washing done In Holland. where tho
soft water Of the bikes was supposed
to impart a special gloss,to linen. This
practice appears to have lasted until
the close Of the eighteenth century, for
Sebastian Mercier. in his "Tableau do
Paris" published shortly before tho
French Revolution, protests against the
patronage by the rich OF the Dutch. to
tho exclusion Of native laundrcsscs.
Still more remarkable is the fact men
toned in the Memories du Comte dc
Vaublanc," that wealthy merchants In
Bordeaux used to send their linen all
the way to San Domingo to be washed.

A Spool Trick.

Run a pin its whole length through
the middle Of a card. Place the card
on the end Of a spool in such a way as
to allow the pin to hang down in tho
hole in tho spool. Hold the spool ny.
right and blow into the open end.
However hard you blow. you will not
be able to force the card away. II YOU
blow steadily you can even turn the
spool downward and the card will still
refuse to drop.
The card is held in place by suction.
Tic thin film OF air escaping with
much force in all directions between
the end OF the spool and the card pre-
scnts Il smooth surface to which tho
card adhcres as It would to glass, but
with greater force, for the film Of air is
even smoother than glass. The pin
serves only to prevent the card from

An Eluaixa Paint;na.

l.. Carroll Bcckwith. the artist, once
told a story about Il weird painting he
happened to run across in a little art
shop in Paris. He looked at It for some
time with interest. thinking it to he a
design for a Persian rug. 8. .srr.ta.
What a nice hearth rug! he re.

man..
Nonsense" replied she. "That's not
A hearth rug. That's a Portrait" And
she proceeded to point out hands and
features in what to Bcckwith was. sim.
ply a bewildering mass Of paint. ''a@% So
DO you really sec all that?" asked
Rcckwith with admiration.
"Oh. as to seeing It," answered the
saleswoman, "yo,u never can tell. Some
times we see It and sometimes We
don't."-New York Post.

when en.,.cd wac Drunken.

In an article in the London Lancet on
"Drunkennesa and the Physiological
Effect Of Alcohol" DR.. Charles Mercer
draws this picture Of conditions In
England before It became n sober ma
tIon:" In those days the doctor was.
often half sens over when he attended
his drunken patient: judge. counsel and
attorneys pursued their avocations IN
court in a prevailing atmosphere Of hot
coppers. The prime minister went
drunk to the house Of commons, where
he was attacked by the leader Of the
opposition, also drunk, while order was
kept by a speaker who was half seas
over. There was no excise on spirits,
aud the coarser kinds Of distilled
liquors were rIdiculously cheap. Az
you passed along tho by streets OF Lon,
don, and perhaps Of other great cities,
you might read the legend hung ont
over the drink cellars. Here YOU may
get drunk for a penny; dead drunk and
clean straw for %tuppence.'"

A eroj,et;,s'. Gain Of speed.

Experiments with improved instru.
ments for measuring the velocity OF
projectiles have shown that the speed
goes on increasing after the missile has
left the mouth Of the cannon. Leaving
the muzzle with a velocity Of 1.414 feet
a second, a p~rojectilc has been observ-
ed to increase its speed to 1859 feet a
second within the first six feet. 1t Is
only after having travelled twenty-five
yards that the projectilc's velocity be-
comes reduced to the speed 1t had on
leaving the muzzle. This is ascribed to
the impulse of tue expanding gas be-
ing teIt for some distance beyond the
lannon's mouth.-New York Tribune.

Moistsn the suttonhois.

Every man knows the difficulty and
agony Of a refractory collar stud. With
4 breakfast to eat. a train to catch aud
an appointment to keep. few things are
more maddening than the collar which
simply will not ally itself to the stud.
But few things are so easy to remedy.
All that is necessary is to dip the
thumb and forefnger in water and
slightly. moisten the obstinate button
hole. Then the stud slips in without q
murmur.
