n tempted to grumble overmuch at
the modern match. let us recall the
elaborate ritual necessary to procuring
a light until about century ago. By
striking a flint with a piece of steel a
spark-if you were adept and lucky
was thrown upon piece Of tinder,
which spark you blew into a flame.
Strips Of wood dipped in sulphur
were held in the flame, and your
match was lighted. The tinder. hav-
ing fulfilled It's function, was extin.

Il Deserved Its Name, and II cheaply
Advertised Itself.
During q vacation spent In the north
we were driven through most pros
porous country. lined with beautiful
farmhouses.
Among others we passed a white
farm. The house was white. the barns
were white. the fences were white
Milk white cows were grazing In the
fields, and snow white chickens were
running upon the lawn. A huge white
dog lay upon the grass, and white
horse. with II white harness and white
carriage, was hitched to a white post
by white strap. The white graveled
drive was bordered with white rocks.
A white fountain threw up white
the water beneath.
Just as we drove by lady dressed
IN pure white. with white shoes. step
ped out OF the door and seated herself
III a white hammock
The whole effect was most striking
and was an excellent example of ad'
vertisement without expense. The cost
would have been the same II no atten-
ton had been paid. TO one color There
was no need of giving II name to that
farm. II is known as the White farm
for miles around and Is one of the
show places OF the district

OUR SUN A VARIABLE STAR.
The More Spots II Has Upon It the
More Heat We Get

MO'o IISdN Wo 0oIs
Accurate investigations carried on ST.
multaneOusly In various parts of the
world through Il long series of years
have demonstrated that the sun does
not give out constantly the same
amount of heat, but the variation is so
great as to amount to 10 degrees on
the earth's surface. In other words.
our sun is variable star. 1t has long
been known that other stars vary in
the amount of light they send forth.
notably Mira in the constellation of
Cetus, but it required the most refined
investigation with the most elaborate
with the sun. One of the instruments
Is so delicate that it can measure one
millionth part of degree Of heat.
1t is found that the amount of heat
is connected with the spots on the sun,
and. curiously enough. more spots more
heat. Thus we have one factor In the
changes of terrestrial temperature, al
though 1t Is only one. Our seasons are
caused by the inclination of the earth's
equator to the ecliptic, and the heat is
greater in summer when the suns rays
fall most directly on the earth. But
as the amount of heat varies and as
the radiation, reflection, etc.. also vary
we have a very complex system OF
weather.
1t is believed by the Smithsonian in
stitution that eventually we shall be
able. through knowledge on the sub
ject. to make much more accurate wea'
ther predictions than at present and

Tricking the Porters.
From London T1t.Rits-


As illustrating the unfounded complaints
which are sometimes made against rail-
way servants, Mr. W. F. Jackson. the
general manager of the North British
Railway Company. has been telling a
good story. the facts of which, he said.
were ascertained in the investigation of
complaint made by the principal actor.
An old lady turned up at one Of the
Glasgow stations. and going up to a
porter. said:
Il say, porter. can you tell me where I
will get my train?''
Where are you going, madam" he
asked.
What have you got to do with that?
Can You tell me where ! will get my
train?''
But I cannot tell without
well, I'm not going to tell you where
m going. I'll get some one else to help
me-"
With that the old lady toddIed farther
up the platform. and meeting another
porter, propounded her conundrum to him.
Where are you going. madam" was
his natural question.
oh she retorted. you are just as
impertinent as your mate I'm not going
to tell you where I'm going
She went up to a third porter and as6ed
him If he could tell her where her train
was. She got the same reply. and said,
We'll. if you must know. I'm going to
Paisley"
The porter directed her to the Paisley
train. and Just as 1t was leaving the plat
form she put her head out of the window
and shouted:
How do you feel when you've been
had? I'm not going TO Paisley at all;
I'm going to Edinburgh" which, it need
hardly be added, is in quite the opposite
direction.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO. April 1S.-Corn prices lurch-
ed heavily downward today under an ir-
resstible rush OF selling. A slight rally
that resulted from profit taking by shorts
brought on a fresh attack from the
bears. and caused the May option to fail
IL before again showing any sign OF
having reached even temporary sup
port. A sickening drop in quotations
from Argentina had much to do with
depriving the market hero OF strength.
The opening was a shade to MAS lower,
with May suffering the worst. This was
also the case in the further weakness
that ensued.
Wheat eased Off in consequence of good
rains extending from Oklahoma to cen
trail Nebraska. Corn weakness, too. had
a bearish influence. Prices started lsal4
to down. and after little recovery
declined lower than before.
Commission houses were generally on
the bear side OF oats. The market never
theless held relatively steady compared
with other grain.
Provisions developed firmness owing to
less plentiful receipts of hogs. FIRST
sales varied from the same as last night
to 121s up, but not all of the advance was
retaiped

to Mr. Bransby Williams. the delight
full impersonator of Dickens char
acters. and he told us this story.
The scene was London parish. and
the period recent. The vicar was sit
ting in his study one morning when in
burst the verger in a great state of
excitement.
"Mr. -" (mentioning the curate's
name) wants you at once. sir" he
exclaimed. He has married two cou-
pies and married the two men to the
wrong women, and he does not know
what to dor
Have they signed the register" in
quired the clergyman.
NO" was the verger's response.
Then they can be married again
said the vicar. Tell Mr.. - 1 will
be at the church in a minute or two to
perform the ceremony"
In due course the incumbent made his
way to the church and found the par
ties gathered at the entrance.
Before he could say anything one of
the bridegrooms approached and said
I'VE have been talking it over, sir,
and we have made up our minds to
remain as we are"
And they did SO.

The Rev. Canon Rhodes Bristow, whose
death is great loss to social and church
work in South London, had a large and
varied experience of life in the under
world of London.
One of his favorite stories was in con-
nection with christening at which the
infant. contrary to the canon's usual ex-
perience. was as quiet as a lamb. In
stead of yelling when 1t felt the water,
1t smiled cheerfully in the canon's face.
Madam" he remarked later to the in
fant's mother, Il must congratulate You
on the little ones behavior. 1 have never
before christened a child that has be-
haved SO well as yours
