A Sincere Provider,

, Bobbie NJ. was visiting with a neigh
Dor while his mother was in the city
on a shopping trip. Bobbie and two
other children played at housekeeping
in the backyard, and in the course of
the housekeeping Maria believed she
needed supplies.
'Bobbie. you go for some ice cream
and lemons at the grocery" command
ed Maria, and Bobbie obediently trot-
ted into the alley at the rear, as Maria
believed. ''jes' playin' he was goin' to
the grocery"
Ten minutes later. Mrs. S.. with
whom Bobbie was visiting, went to
the telephone. and the voice Of her
grocer inquired:
II guess Bobbie has lost the money
for the ice cream and lemons he came
after. l can't find any change in his
pockets. Or did you want the things
charged?"-1ndianapolis News.

TEST YOUR BAROMETER.

Il 10 a Tricky instrument and Must b
Treated With Respect.
Don't expect Il barometer to tell you
the truth about the weather until you
have tested it thoroughly. Two COM
mon causes for u%nreiiability are air
and water mixed with the mercury in
the tube. These Gun be expelled BY
boiling the mercury.
In order to test a barometer let it
hang for a time in the proper position.
then gently and with care incline it so
that the mercury may strike against
the glass tube. II there is no air with
in you will hear a sharp metallic click,
but il the sound is dull and mun1ed it
indicates the presence Of both air and
moisture. The presence Of air alone Is
shown by minute bubbles.
If at any time the mercury seems to
adhere to the tube yer in the slight
est degree and the convex surface as
sumes a more fattened form it is safe
to conclude that either air or moisture
is present. In any of these cases the
instrument should be put into expert
hands for rectifcation.
There are several kinds of barom-
eters. The ordinary weather glass"
in common use is more or less unre-
liable and is easily made more so by
careless handling. In fact, any barom-
eter must be treated with great re.
spect in order to retain its usefulness.

King Robert Bruce. Watch.

In Dalzell's fragments Of Scottish
History" is the following: 1.-THE old.
est known English watch was made, it
is said. in the sixteenth century. There
exists a watch which. an%tiQuarians al
low. belonged to King Robert Bruce"
In tracing this subject further was
found a letter in the Gentleman's Mag
azine dated Forfar. Aug. 20. 1856, and
signed ]. Jameson, who therein states
that the watch was offered for sale to
him by a goldsmith hawker Of Glas-
gov. who afterward sold it for 2
guineas. and it was next sold for 5.
The letter does not trace the curiosity
further, but we find in a little work by
Adam Thompson. entitled '"Time and
Timekeepers," that it subsequently
found its way into the collection Of
King George III. - Philadelphia In.

CHILD WEDDINGS IN INDIA.
Candy Kept the Baby Partners Quis'
During the Ceremony.

During the Ceremony.
Four hundred marriages were per-
formed simultaneously at the last we'd
ding celebration at Surat among men,
bers Of the Lewa Kunbi caste.
None Of the brides was more than
twelve years Of age. the majority be.
ing from one to eve years old. while
the b%rdegrooms varied from three to
nine. Most Of the contracting parties
sat or lay on the laps Of their parents
during the ceremony and we're given
sweets to keep them quiet.
The caste only celebrates every ten or
twelve years.
These baby brides, of course do not
join their husbands when they are
married. They wait until they reach
the age of ten or eleven. when there
is n second marriage. Should a baby
brides husband die before she reaches
the age for the second marriage she
becomes n widow and has to remain
60 all her life. In such cases the
widow at once loses caste. Her orna'
ments are taken off her. and she be-
comes a sort Of outcast. hardly treat.

CHURCHES IN CHILE.

They Arc Always More or Less In an
UneompIeted Condition.
When walking through the streets in
any large town in Chile Il is immedi.
ately struck by the fact that church
buildings are always undergoing re.
pairs.
One day you will pass a church which
for weeks has had about six ladders
resting against the walls. Then an.
other day you will find that they have
been changed to the other side. This
constant changing Of ladders goes on
year in and year out. but no use ever
seems to be made Of the ladders.
though. perhaps, a new brick or a bit
of plaster will occasionally be added
to the building.
There would seem. however, to be a
very real reason for the presence Of
these ladders. The Chilean govern
ment, in fact, levies o tax upon church
buildings, but only when they have
been completed. In order to evade
this tax. therefore. no church v has
been completed.
The law surely might be altered.
then, for the eternal presence Of these

RIVERS AND GREAT CITIES.
Wherein tho Thames and London Ars
Different From Others.


London without the Thames is un.
thinkable. Not only is it the source OF
the great wealth and trade OF the
worlds metropolis. but it brings food
and drink to its many millions. Yet
this is not the case with other great
cities Of the world whose rivers have
had little to do in the building OF their
fame and position. In 1.-THE River OF
London" Mr.. Hilaire Belloc points the
contrast:
Little sea borne ira fic reaches Paris
by the Seine; the Tiber could never be
q street for Rome; Vienna neglects the
Danube; Antwerp protects no great
crossing nor has ever been the nucleus
of n state, and ROuen. the nearest par
alleI, was not the %strategical pivot OF
Normandy nor ever formed. as London
forms, a chief fraction in the economic
power Of its province. The two rivers
which are sacred to Lyons never fed
that town; the Rhone watered but did
not lead to Aries.
The towns of Lombardy depend upon
the fertility Of tho Pc valley. but the
stream is nothing to their commerce
or to their political eminence, and MI
Ian and Venice and Turin are independ-
ent Of it. Saragossa was the mistress
Of Aragon, but the Ebro did not make
Saragossa. and. as for Madrid. the
trickle which runs below Madrid is
best described in the story of the Span
ish patriot who was dying Of thirst
after battle. but upon being offered a
cup Of water said, Give it to the poor
Manzanares'-the river upon which
Madrid stands" '"

SNU oV0N0V d0SSU0SO uU0bV VVVyS
Mr.. Fitzsimons answers this ques-
ton in the negative. The belief in
fascination is general. but there seem
to be no real foundation for it. Il
have had much experience OF snakes"
writes MI. Fitzsimons, 'aud have made
it my business to observe carefully
their habits and ways, both in their
natural condition in the wild state
and captivity, and in no instance have
I ever known a snake to fascinate an
animal in the manner it IS alleged to
do" he has seen two species, which
he mentions. many a time in trees sur
rounded by a crowd Of nuttering, ex.
cited birds. But the birds were not.
he says, fascinated by the snake. They
were endeavoring to intimidate it in
order to frighten it from their haunts.
