A Persistent Scotch Beaaar.

On opening the door in response to d very peremptory ringing of the bell a lady found a seedy looking individual whose outstanding characteristics i'm mediately proclaimed themselves to be an antipathy toward soap and water and an open mind on the temperance question. She was about to shut the door hurriedly when he thrust foot over the threshold. At the same time he pushed forward long. grubby en- velope containing a hair comb. which he offered for sale. When he learned that there was nothing doing" the bibulous one suggested, You'd mebbc like to gle me the price O a scone," and to be rid Of him the somewhat scared lady handed over copper.

When l got into the iuEgic my great Gc-irs was to meet u large boa in order that I might do him some very real harm. When l did find one my sentiments were those of pity for the snake. lie was stretched across tile path. and when the natives saw him they pounc ed upon him with yells of delight. Or the other hand. he seemed daZed.
 With a native for every yard of him holding him firmly he journeyed on legs through the jungle and down to the beach. He wrlgGled feebly and hissed in hopeless manner. There they cut his head off with no more ceremony than they would have used if he had been q chicken. folded as much as they could get of him into q kind of clam shell about three feet !n diameter and built fire. In an hour he was cooked. and in another hour this great snake which had been pain. fully accumulating feet and inches for years had disappeared. l must say that l felt little indignant" t"-Yuuth's Companion.

The Most Accurate Machine.

The worlds most precise piece of machinery is doubtless the Rowland dividing engine, owned and operated by Johns Hopkins university. Balti- more. This machine. the invention of Professor Henry A. Rowland. long the head of the physics department in that institution. was devised by him to rule diffraction gratings on glass or metal for use in the most delicate kind of spectroscopic work in the place of the glass prisms that are commonly used to form the spectrum by splitting up white light Into Its component colors. These gratings consist of five parallel lines so close together that they can be separated only by a microscope of tho highest power. Accuracy Is meas ured nowadays by the limit of error The Rowland gratings are not perfect because perfection Is impossible. but their limit of error Is one-millionth of m inch. which makes the engine that is able to draw them the record hold CT for accuracy.-L Literary Digest.

Astroloaioal consteIIations.

The sun does not belong to any con steilation. There are no cancellations. merely imaginary figures of men. beasts. serpents, etc.. among the stars. all made by ancient astrologers ages before even one law of nature had been discovered. Thus go out to space a hundred trfliion miles or so. turn around, look back at our sun, and it would appear us very small star in some one of these imagined figures, let us say Orion. Now move during few hundred millions years at a mile per minute: then our little star. the sun. would appear as point in some other figure. depending entirely in what part of the celestial vault you might then happen to be located. Astronomers cat alogue positions of stars by right as- tensions and destinations. east of the prime meridian and north or south of the celestial equator. and have no manner of use for astrological constel- lations.-New York American.

A Hauqhty Parsonage.

Professors in Germany are. impor' tant personages and know 1t, but few probably ever reach the pinnacle of haughtiness attained by the one of whom this anecdote is narrated.
 He was one of the greatest men in the, faculty at Heidelberg. One day the authorities of that city ordered that the street in front of the professor $ house should be paved.
 If you don't stop that noise" re marked the professor to the payers. "l shall give up my position as member Of the Heidelberg faculty"
 The payers stopped work at once The municipal authorities sent around to inquire respectfully of the professor when they might pave the street.
 "When I take my vacation" he re' piled.
 Then and only then was the street paved.

Channel IsIsnds' Customs.

The Channel iSlunds-where there i% still in every duy use Il patoiS ailuJst Identical with the Norman French si.o ken by William the ConquerUr-are th' home of other quaint antiquarian rei- ics. A local politician whose election as jurat had been annulled by the royal court of the island on the ground of his having been sentenced to d term of Imprisonment some years ago knelt bareheaded at the entrance to the courthouse and exclaimed, "Haro. Haro. Haro. raide. mon prince. on me fait tort" The effect of this ap- peal. technically called the ''clameur de Haro.' is to stay proceedings unti the petitioners case has been heard. Tn modern times the cry has most ire quently been raised to interrupt build ing operations on land to which the title Is disputed-much to the annoy ance of unsuspecting strangers who have settled in the islands without be- Ing aware of this curious tradition. Popular etymology explains "Haro' as an abhreviation of "Ha, Rollo." thus making the cry direct appeal to the first Duke of Normandy.

Taking Medicine In the Dark.

70 Never take medicine in. the dark. This is the advice in an interesting little booklet found in drug store.
 It Is timely and wholesome and has a, wide application. The people of this country are too fond of taking medi- cine in the dark. They are so credu- lous and so eager to make money that they are constantly the victims of their own folly. A man has made a large fortune during the past fifteen years by writing letters from Spain to persons in this country telling the latter about fortunes left them by strangers on certain conditions. These conditions always involve the payment of money before the fortune can be secured. It is amazing how many per sons who ought to know better have given up from $500 to S10.0O0 to ap absolute stranger In the belief that with this amount the latter stood ready to turn over soo.oOo to s1o0.ooo to his victims.-Leslie's
