CIouded Windows.

Many people have a window or a
part of one which they would like bar
red to the too curious gaze Of passers-
by or, possibly, Of neighbors.
This can be managed by prettily
crystallizing the window glass as fol-
lows: Fill a jam pot one-third full Of
gum arabic and add a little hot water.
Let this soak for some hours and
when the gum has quite dissolved add
the same quantity of epson salts.
Then stand the jam pot In basin Of
hot water and stir well until the salt
has quite dissolved. Apply the mix
ture to the glass quickly with camers
hair brush.
The effect is like crystallized ground
glass, and, while light is admitted, no
one can see through it. The effect Of
plain ground glass is obtained by using
a linen rag instead Of a brush and
putting the preparation on thinly.-Ex-

The Irish of the Balkans.

The Servians are the Irish Of south
eastern Europe. with all the virtues and
some of the weaknesses of the Irish
people. They are especially proud of
their national poetry, which they pos
sess as no other nation possesses In
modern times, for they still have their
national bards-men who live by max
ing national song, not highly cultured
poets, but men in the street They do
not go to a newspaper to report what
they hear. but to the next inn or cof-
fee house, and there take up their in
struments to recite what they have to
say. Virtually our bards are ancient
reporters. The old ones sing. Those

Servian language is the richest and
most musical of the Slav dialects. The
Russian language has that reputation.
but it is not so musical and clear and

IL Was a Nice Stone.

General Sir John Younghusband, the
well known writer on military sub
jects, was once cleverly victimized by
some Indian natives. At a village
where he was encamping the dusky
inhabitants brought to his tent a num-
Der of sapphire-like stones which they
stated had been dug up at spot some
distance from the village. Sir John
was convinced that he had luckily hit
on a treasure mine. He bought every
stone the natives possessed

Numbered Teaspoons.

In the early days of tea drinking,
when the brew was rare and costly,
numbered spoons were used. 1t was
not etiquette for guest to ask for a
second cup until all the company had
finished the first. The numbered
spoons therefore insured each getting
his own cup back again. AS a sign to
the hostess that no more tea was want
ed the spoon was placed in the cup.
Even when etiquette was a fetish tea
pot spouts sometimes got choked up,
so the long handle of the spoon with
a pierced bowl that succeeded the sill
yer strainer was thrust down the spout
to dispense the leaves. Etiquette, -
remarks Arthur Hayden in "Chats on
Old Silver" forbade the hostess to

France. National Museum. !.

The. Musee Carnavalet of Paris b
also known as the National museum,
for it contains objects pertaining to the
history Of France and especially Of
the French revolution. The sacredness
Of antiquity clings to the building it
self, which was begun in 1914 and
enlarged In 1860 by Mansart, the
famous architect of Louis XIV. In
1877 it became the home Of Nine. de
Sevigne, who lived there for eighteen
years and after whom the street is
named that faces the principal en-
trance. Among the contents Of this
museum are fragments and statues
from noted old buildings which no
longer exist. There are also a weird
portrait done in wax Of Henry w.,
made, the day after his assassination,
and an autograph order from Louis
XVI. for the defenders Of the Tuileries
to cease firing. Things Of historic in
terest are numerous, but none more
sanguinary than the copy Of the con-
stitution Of 1898 bound in human skin.

Modern Sea Fighting.

A Queer Fish.

One of the queerest of odd creatures
is the mud skipper, or jumping fish,
which inhabits the large rivers Of In
dia and the neighboring seacoasts. At
ebb tide these little fishes leave the
water to hunt for tiny crabs, flies, etc.
and their strong pectoral and ventral
fins, aided by their tail, enable them
to move about easily and to climb upon
trees, grass and leaves.
With their huge eyes, seeming to pro-
ject far out of their sockets, they can
see as well on land as in the water.
They progress in short. quick leaps, eff
fected by sharply bending the rear
third Of the body to the left and sud-
denly Strengthening it. In color they
are usually light brown, with dark
bands, though they sometimes appear
light green. They are easily caught and
are much used in Burma.

Famous Temple and Statue.

Since about the year 752 the grand
ceremony of Kaigen, or opening the
spiritual eye of the statue" has been
celebrated but five times at the temple
commonly known as the Daibutsu Of
Nara, at Tokyo. The original statue
has suffered grievously since 752.
Once, in $50, the head dropped of.
Since then it has suffered twice from
fire, and upon each occasion the head
was destroyed. The statue in It's sit
ting posture measures fifty-three and a
half feet, the length of the face being
sixteen feet. The two Bodhisattvas
fanking the Daibutsu are as high as
thirty feet. The temple is 1SS feet In
frontage and 166 feet in depth and is
known as the largest wooden building
In japan, though it Is much smaller
than the original, built 100 years ago.
It was not built to protect the statue
from being exposed to the weather,
but the statue was made to enshrine
as the chief figure Of the temple.

De lisIe,s Iraoedy.

An affair Of the youth Of Rouget de
Isle, author Of the "Marseillaise, is
told by a French journal. In 1870,
when he was about twenty years old,
Rouget de Lisle, a pupil Of the mill
tary school, was deeply smitten with
the charms Of a young girl Of Courbe-
vote, Mile. Camille, whose father was
a captain on half pay. The betrothal
was made the occasion Of q family
fete, in the course Of which some fire
works were to be set of.
The future officer could not leave to
others the care Of touching OF the
powder. When the moment came to
fire the principal piece, which showed
the figure of his well beloved, he ap-
preached with light in his hand, the
guests meanwhile taking their places
on a terrace opposite him. The piece
was lighted, but a rocket badly direct
ed struck the young girl on the fore
head, ard she died some days after In
consequence of her burns.

Long Words.

While our language does not contain

Moral "Risks."

1t is pointed out by a modern thinker
that there is no such thing as a moral
risk, for when we talk about ''risk''
we mean that there is possibility.
but not certainty, that harm will re-
suit. A boy takes a physical risk
when he goes skating on that part of
the river where the ice is thin. He
may fall through and injure his health
or lose his life. But when we venture
on thin ice in our moral life there is no
risk in the matter at all. There is as
sured catastrophe from the moment
we start in that direction. No one can
do anything which he knows involves
possible moral danger without thereby
definitely passing beyond the line of
mere danger into positive injury to his
character.

When Coins Were First Made.

Certain passages in the "Iliad" of
Homer would lead to the inference
that coins of brass were struck as ear

the Chinese had bronze coins as early
