In Pepys' time May dew-that is.
dew gathered from the grass on May
morning. and especially on the morn
ing Of May day-was highly priced for
bleaching linen and improving the
complexion. Pepys wrote in 1867: "My
wife away down with Jane and W
Hewer 10 Woolwicn in order to lie
there tonight and so to gather May dew
tomorrow morning. which Mrs. Turner
hath taught her is the only thing in
the world to wash her face with, and
am contented with it" Two years later
he made this entry in his diary:
Troubled, about in the morning,
with my wife's calling her maid up
and. rising herself, to so with her
coach abroad TO gather May dew. which
she did, and troubled for it for fear
OF any hurt going abroad so betimes
happening to her, but TO sleep again
She came home about G."

JUVENILE HIGH FINANCE.
Give Him Half Chance and This Chap
VIII Own the World.

A pupil in one Of the well known
boys schools, being short Of pocket
money, conceived means of replen
lshing his funds by the following plan:
He wrote to a jewelry house in New
York. where he had an established
credit asking that a silver cigarette
case selling at $25 be sent to him on
approval. Upon its receipt he arranged
a lottery among his chums at the
school and offered for sale 100 chances
at % cents each. He sold all the
chances for a total of 500.
The boy who held the successful
number that won the silver case hap
pened to be one who did not use Gig
arettes, and therefore the manager Of
the affair offered to buy the case for
s.. The winner accepted the offer. as
he thereby made a profit Of $4.75 cash
instead of having an article Of no use
to him, whereas the promoter of the
deal had $50 left.
The promoter now returned the Gig
arctic case TO the jeweler and asked
that 1t be credited 10 his account. This
being a frequent occurrence. nothing
was thought Of the return Of the ar
ticIe.
BY this scheme the pockets Of the
young promoter We're replenished by
$50, the other boys had enjoyed their
little game of chance and were per
fectly satisfied with the operation, and
the business house was likewise salts
fed Yet some people who have heard
r Of the transaction are asking, rs the
young financier open to any criticism
for his methods ?"-New York Sun.

BEER IN ANCIENT ENGLAND.
When the Law Demanded "DrJnks"

Authorities in England formerly took
pains that the Londoner should not
miss his full share of ale, In the six

q loss Of his business Thus, If the
mayor got wind of ANY of the saide

to do. The city council w mpower-
ed TO take over the business going
concern and TO take measures to see
that it wGs Kept going.
The cry then and for centuries after
was all for beer. There is record Of a
petition of 1873. for instance praying
that tea. coffee and brandy be banned.
The petitioners reasoned that the la
borers needed good strong beer and
ale." which refreshed their bodies and
neither did them prejudice nor hinder
ed their work.
Besides. it cost little and was the
product Of home grown grain. whereas
the new tangled drink was expensive

LIGHT AND HEAT.
How They Reach Us From Out the Icy
Goodness of Space.

How They Reach Us From Out the Icy
Goodness of Space.
In answer to the question. at Is
thought that in space eternal cold and
darkness prevail-what then is the ex-
PLANTATION of the fact that both light
and heat from the sun. some 10000
600 miles away in cold space, reach
the earthT' Edgar Lucien Larkin in
the New York American says:
Heat and light as such do not
reach the earth from our own and
100000 more suns Radiant energy
is transmitted by undulations or waves
in electrons, which energy is in the
forms Of waves Of varying lengths and
amplitudes. When some Of these en-
ergy impulses impinge on matter able
to receive and appropriate them heat
and light result
MANY molecules in many thousands
Of kinds Of matter are able to trans
late energy waves into heat, while
others are translated as light on the
retina of the eve and in the brain.
But no heat nor light develops until
the waves strike forms of matter fitted
to receive, appropriate and translate.
Thus energy win pass through a
burning glass made Of ice, converge
to a focus and set light objects on
fire.

again three years later the French in
vaded the Iroquois country, and the
redskins lost half Of their warriors.
In 1913 the French gave up all claim

shipw,s.Ls and Courts Martial.

Shpwreoks and Courts Martial.
2 The custom of holding courts martial
in the British navy after every case of
Shipwreck has a curious origin. In
1741 the Wager. one of Commodore
Ansons vessels. was wrecked off the
coast of Chile. most of the crew being
saved. The men and some of the jun
Tor officers held that they were no
longer amenabe TO discipline because
their pay ceased with the wreck, but
the captain. whose name was Davy
Cheap. differed. treated them as mutt
neers and shot one of his midshipmen.
He was then deposed, and most of the
crew made off in three of the boats.
Later when it was proposed to proceed
against the so called mutineers the law
officers of the crown decided that the
men had been correct in their view
This discovery led to the framing of
section 81 of the articles of war, which
provides that in the case of shipwreck,
destruction or capture by the enemy a
ship is held TO remain in commission
