Force of Drops of Water

1t seems almost incredible that SO
small a thing as drop of rain should
injure the propeller of an aeroplane,
but such is the case. At so great a
speed does the propeller revolve-1, 200
revolutions minute as a matter Of
fact-that rain drop hits it with such
enormous force as to chip piece of
the wood away. Some idea of the
hardships entailed by flying through
the rain at sixty miles an hour may
be gathered from the fact that an avi-
ator who recently went through such an
experience, alighted with the edge of
his propeller fretted as though it had
ben gnawed by rats. The rain drops
had chipped pieces out of the blades
and also bruised the aviator IS face, ow-
ing to the force with which they hit
against his fesh.-London Spectator.

Signs of Spring

In this Middle States location
March as a spring month is not an en-
tire success. Its early days are likely
to be as wintry as the coldest of Febru-
airy, and it is safer to expect a blizzard
than a zephyr, any time. Yet there
is something of spring to be noted,
even when deep frost holds the ground
from the spade and while the furnace
yet yawns for the last remaining
shovelfuls of the coal supply that was
so surely to last the winter through.
Look at the upturning tips of the
horse chestnut twigs and note there a

A Joint Concern

When Richard Brinsley Sheridan
was in distress, in early life, one of his
resources was that of writing for the
fugitive publications of the day, in
which he was materially assisted by
his wife, and many years after his
entrance into the spheres of politics he
was heard to say that "if he had stuck
to the law he believed he should have
done as much as his friend Tom
Erskine; but,' continued he, "'I had
no time for such studies. Mrs. Sheri-.
dan and myself were often obliged to-
keep writing for our daily leg or shoul-
der of mutton; otherwise we should
have had no dinner" One of his
friends, to whom he confessed this,
wittily replied, "Then perceive it was
a joint concern"

Pure Bred Arab Horses

In Cairo there is society for pre-

is said that recent changes in the lives
and habits of the Bedouins have re-
suited in thc deterioration of these
horses. A practical horseman of wide
experience says that as a rule the Arab
horse is now no better treated than

Antiquity of "a Regular shindy',

The antiquity of many familiar terms
is surprising when it is known. Many
people are not aware that "What the
diekcns!" occurs iii Shakespeare, but
fewer still will be prepared to hear
that the phrase "a regular shindy'' is
called "The Popish Kingdom" pub
lished in 1870. A writer quotes this
note, which refers to the celebration
of Maundy Thursday, Midnight serv-
ices are held in church, the lights are
put out, and regular shindy follows,
men being beaten and wounded. -
