Things Not Always What They Seem

Things Not Always What They Seem.
If you should see a maiden cast her
eyes upon the ground,
And look as shyly conscious as she
can,
Then You may bet a tenner or a dol
lar or a pound
That on the far horizon there's a
man;
And if this self same maiden tries to
make you think that she
Would rather be a spinster all her
life,
Than tie the matrimonial knot with
such a man as he"
Be sure that she would like 10 be
his wife,
If you should see the boy who never
gave a thought to dress.
Or whether there were smuts upon
his nose.
Begin to put his %grubbiness in order,
more or less,
And care about the color of his
clothes,
And grumble at his mother If his
collar isn't white.
And spend an hour in tying of his
his tie.
You must not think he's changed his
careless habits in a night. :
Oh, no, He's got to counting age
that's why
If you should meet a mar who starts
bewailing all his sins,
Yet hopes to be an angel by and
by,
Who takes you by the hand with one
as cold as fishes fms,
And asks you how YOU cough is
with a sigh,
And strokes his forehead pensiYely,
and spreads abroad his hands,
And makes a SON of everything on
earth.
Be sure that chaps a chronic and un-
mitigated fraud.
And keep you eye on him for all
you're worth!
If you see a lady suddenly appear at
morning church
Who has not put her nose inside
for weeks.
You must not think the Scriptures
are the object of her search.
Or sermons are the solaee that she
seeks.
Oh. no. She's got a bonnet which she
paid two g%uineas for,
with a dieky-bird or something on
the brim.
And knows her neighbors' thoughts
are fixed not on the Golden
Shore.
But on the price that bonnet cost
to trim!
And If you see a seryant-maid come
tripping to the post,
And linger by the pillar painted
red,
Ard rearrange her snow-white
strings-well, twenty times at
most,
And often turn her tidy little head,
Be sure that it's the time the post
man comes to clear the box,
And that she knew it ere she came
along;

Maria was not there. He remembered
now that she had told him She was
goingtO stay with a relative who was
sick that evening.
All at once he saw his opportunity.
He would repay Ep for his trickery
in a double sense. Beside the door,
placed there for the very purpose
which it was to serve, was sink with
a high pressure of water and small
stationary fire hose. He attached the
tubing and let the water flow in.
Then, as the flames crept toward the
old stock on the shelves, Riffkin be-
gan to play the hose upon them.
They Kissed and leaped, but water
quenches fire. Slowly they receded
backward, caught the waste rags be-
side the machines, licked them up,
and began to run hungrily along the
floor Drippings of machine oil fed
them. They grew holder and adj
vanced toward Riffkin again. Again
he played the hose on them, keeping
always a barrier of water between the
door and the flames, so that his es-
cape should not be cut off.
Now the whole place was afire. The
flames had gained the end of the
factory and we're crawling up the
walls. The glare was perceptible all
down the street. Riffkin heard shouts
underneath the windows. Then came
the welcome clang of the fire bell, as
the engines came galIoping up.
His task was DONE The fire could
easily. be controlled. Riffkin himself
could have controlled it. Now he
hastily detached the hose and coiIed
it into its place. Then he ran agileIy
down the stairs to the street, where
the f1remen were already leaping
from their engines.

crowd slowly dispersed. But Riffkin
waited. He knew that Ep would come
to see his handiwork. Soon he per-
ceived him skulking in the fringe OF
the crowd.
The two saw each other simultan-
eously. Ep came forward with as
sumed anxiety.
This is terrible, Riffkin,' he said.
How can it have happened?"
Let's go and see," said Riffkin,
and took Ep by the arm. In silence
they assembled the stairs together.
They could see nothing inside for the
dense smoke.
''Mr. Ep," said Riffkin, 81 saw that
cigarette. 1t amt my business l
want nine hundred"
Ep attempted to buster; then,
checking himself, sat down and
quietly wrote out the check upon his
blackened desk. Riffkin read it and
pocketed it.
I'm sorry it was the wrong stock,
Mr.. Ep," he said.
What d'you mean?" shouted Ep.
Rifkin pointed through the smoke
clouds. AS these rolled away Ep
could see that the new gowns had
been wholly consumed; but upon
their shelves, neatly folded and pro-
tected from the water from the hoses,
the old insured gowns with the wide
sleeves reposed in their pristine
quality.

Facts About the Sea,
From Harper's Weekly.

Not only is the sea the reservoir into
which all rivers run, but 1t is the cistern
that finally catches all the rain that falls.
not merely upon its own surface, but upon
the surface of the land and upon the
roofs OF our houses. 1t has been calcu-
lated that each year a layer of the entire
sea fourteen feet thick is taken up into
the clouds This vapor Is fresh, and II
all the water could be removed In the
same way. none of 1t being returned,
there would. 1t Is figured, be left q layer
of pure salt go feet high on the bed of
the Atlantic. These figures are based
upon the assumption that three feet Of
water contain one inch Of salt, and that
the average depth Of the ocean Is three
miles.
At a depth of about $500 feet the tenn
perature Is uniform, varying but little be-
tween the poles and the equator. The
colder water is below. In many deep
bays the water begins to freeze at the
bottom before 1t does at the surface.
At that depth waves are not felt. The
force Of waves Is In proportion to their
height. 1t Is said that the sea strikes
upon certain rocks with the force Of
seventeen tons for each square yard.
The pressure OF water increases with
the depth. One mile down this pressure
Is reckoned at more than a ton to the
square tnch-tn other words, more than
133 times the pressure of the atmosphere
The depth Of the sea presents some in
teresting considerations. If. 1t is claimed
by one authority. the Atlantic ocean were
lowered 1854 feet. it would be reduced to
half its present width. II 1t were lowered
little more than three miles the result
would be dry land all the way between
Newfoundland and Ireland. II the Medi-
terranean swere lowered $50 feet Africa
would be Joined to Italy. and three sep
arate seas would remain
