"poinq Europep In olden Days.


 Clare Howard in "The English Trav- elers of the RcnEiSsdnce'' tells Us that the serious aim nf the traveller in and before EliZale ethan days was to be- come ''compleat person" This could be achieved only by coming into con tact with the learning and life of the continent, particularly Italy-the flow CT of the renaissance-and as the sev- enteenth century advanced of France. which then became the arbiter of man. ners. The discomforts, dangers and risks of travel in those days were CO., lossal. The dirty, insanitary inns were death traps. and many an eager tour ist lay down with smallpox befogw he had seen anything worth mentioning" The term grand tour," Miss Howard tells us, Was used for the first time by Richard Lassels in 1870 in an English book for travellers entitled "The Grand Tour of France and the Giro of Italy" She traces the causes involved in the decadence of the grand tour, to which the decline of the courier and the foundation of chairs of modern history and modern languages at Oxford and Cambridge contributed.

Washing Day In Sicily.

The Sicilians have the reputation of not washing themselves overfrequent- ly, but if they are remiss ip this re- spect they more than make up for it by washing their garments-washing. in fact. being perennial occupation among the women. The songs of the women folk as they scrub the clothes of their husbands and children outside the doors of their homes, if living in city. or in some brook or running stream If living in the country, are a noticeable feature of lower class Sicil- ian life. The long spikes on the prickly pear leaves and aloe plants make splen- did natural pegs on which to dry the clothes, and in all the rural districts you will see them thus utilized, but if they do not happen to be sufficiently handy the clothes are often stretched out upon the mountainside to dry. The occupation and recreation of most of the poorer women may be summed up in three words-washing and gossip Wide World Magazine

Analyz;nq a Raindrop.

Rain water as it leaves the clouds is pure. As it pusses through the atmos- phere it absorbs more or less carbonic acid gas and air. which 1t carries with 1t into the ground. As it seeps through the upper soil 1t will generally absorb still more carbonic acid gas from the decaying animal and vegetable matter almost always present. Should the water fall on insoluble rocks, such as ranite or marble, it will remain fairly lure. But if it passes through layer If limestone the carbonic acid gas which 1t carries will cause it to dis solve away this rock, and as a result bicarbonate of lime will be present in the water. Should 1t pass through a layer of sulphate of lime or gypsum, the water will contain large ssnount of this material.
 1t is generally known that the bi- carbonates of lime and magnesia when present in the water form compara- lively soft scale; the chlorides and nitrates are apt to cause corrosion. and the salts of soda and potash pres ent, while not scale forming, are apt to cause foaming when sufficiently con- centrated.-Power.

The Thrifty Spirit.

It seems easier to be deacon or elder nowadays than it was in our fathers time. The portentous solem- nity of countenance has gone out with the .'blacks' that used to be essential for the duty of standing at "the plate" Only last Sunday, says correspondent in the Glasgow News, laid down my mite under the gaze of quite spright- ly deacon wearing soft gray hat and a.suit of light tweeds! When daddy stands at the plate certain small boy finds 1t difficult to observe due decorum as he passes in to worship. In fact. he shows a desire to take his parents hand and stand at the receipt of col lection too. On Sunday, as sat wait ing for the service to begin, listening to the chink of the coin in the plate" in the vestibule, I heard young voice uplifted in argument with a fond mamma: "But, mummy, it's daddy! He'll let us in for nothing. Can't l keep my penny for another time?"

How Pythons Settle ouarreIs.

It was in October, 1894, that the big python at the zoo fell into the deplor- able error of swallowing his com panion, snake only a few inches shorter than himself. A similar dis aster is reported from Bombay. where for some years two large Indian py- thons had occupied a cage in the museum of the Bombay Natural Ills tory society. There was some mis- understanding between them over partridge, for they were found so tightly entangled in each others coils that the utmost endeavors of peace making keepers failed to effect a sep aration, and they were left to settle the matter according to their own lights. Next day there was only one very stout python visible. These large reptiles evidently know but one way of settling a generalization Sketch.

Sunlioht and Fresh Air.

The word disinfectant has become a household term, and almost every one knows that 1t means something that destroys germs, though comparatively few know what our best and cheapest disinfectants are.
 The most useful and efficient all round disinfectant that we have Is the sun, and the air is his worthy ally. Fresh air dilutes germs as water di- lutes filth, and the lustiest germ will quickly curl up its toes and die if, ex- posed to the sunlight. But fresh air and sunlight are abundant and cheap. so of course we usually prefer to use some disinfectant that smells bad and can be bought at the drug store.
 Open windows and rolled up shades would save many lives, but what do we have windows and shades for if not to keep them down? Besides. if we left them up it would let, in the flies and fade the carpets, so we pam per the germs and employ the doctor.- Rural New Yorker.

Wehsterys Homo Souadron.

A few days before his death Daniel Webster wished to leave his sickroom once more to look upon the little para disc which his taste had adorned about his mansion. Dressing himself with the utmost care. he went through the house on the arm of a servant and finally reached the library. The night before there was terrific storm. and the great statesman expressed solici- tude for the safety of the fishermen off the coast As he looked from the window his eye fell upon number of pleasure boats which had been moored to little mound in the artificial pond in the rear of the house. "WeH." said he. "the home squadron is safe. I think I will go back" 1t was his last playful remark. He never left his room again.

The Dark and Bloody Ground.

Before the white man began to ex- plore Kentucky, about the middle of the eighteenth century, the region was vast hunting ground for many large tribes of the south, north and east. and between these tribes there was continuous conflict for the possession of the rich game privileges. Later on. when the white people settled in the territory. their struggle with the red men was more bitter and persistent than in almost any other section of the continent: hence the sanguinary name that was given to the territory, "The Dark and Bloody Ground"

Miss Mary O'Reflly Of the Teach

ciaI interests for dominating the

"The commercial interests" she
said, ARE making the schools fit the

of American education by forcing the
children to be fitted only for mills and

twenty years. ago to fight for demo-

teachers and the interests for the

ct is not enough to teach children
to read and write. The school must.

the children taught patriotism and
