When Red Tape Taught the Coach
man Lesson In Manners.
The late II. B. Clafiin, who was one
Of the great merchants of the last gen.
Grafton, lived for many years at Kings
bridge, then one of the suburbs of New
York. It was his Ahim to have each
morning before breakfast a drink OF
cold water fresh from the spring near
the house.
One very rainy morning the pitcher
was not In its usual place, and he ask
ed the waitress why 1t was missing.
"Why, Mr.. Clafiin," she said, at was
raining 80 hard and Is 80 muddy that
I was afraid II I went after the water
I should be too soiled to wait On the
table. asked Michael to get 1t for
me, but he said 1t was his business to
look after the horses and carriages, not
to run errands."
"Ohr said Mr.. Clafiin thoughtfully.
perhaps he is right, Ella. Please tell
him / want the victoria"
Ten minutes later, with much tram
pling Of hoofs and champing Of bits,
the carriage drew up at the door, with
Michael on the box In his rubber coat
and hat cover.
"Come, Ella" said Mr.. Clafin. "get
your pitcher" and taking her by the
arm be walked down the front steps
and helped her into the carriage.
Michael" said he, "drive Ella to the
spring and back, so she can get me
some water without muddying her
self"
Ever after Michael used to all the
pitcher on rainy mornings without even
waiting to be asked-Youth's Compan-

DISTANCE A GUN CAN SHOOT.

Main Factors Are Initial Velocity and
Angle of Elevation.
The distance n shot can be thrown
depends primarily on two things-the
velocity with which It leaves the muz-
Ele and the angle Of elevation above
The horizontal Other things affect II
also, but these two are all important
OF course light shell will lose its ve-
betty quicker than a heavy one. for II
has less stored up energy to overcome
The friction of the air. Temperature
and the humidity of the air both have
their. effect. But the two great fea-
lures are initial velocity ana angle Of
elevation.
Any one who throws ball knows
that IL is higher :ear the center Of its
flight than at either end. The farther
1t is thrown the higher IL is at the CEN
ter. Ii was long ago found that any
projectile to reach maximum range
must be thrown ut about forty. five de-
grees above the horizontal. This ap-
plies to baseball as well as n 1000

er sixty degrees because of the retard-
Ing effect OF the atmospheric friction.
This friction Is continually slowing up
the projectile and eventually all but
stops It. But meantime the action Of
gravitation Is pulling II farther and
farther downward from It's initial
path. The net result Is to bring II to
earth much sooner than II the second

THE TONKA BEAN.
From II We Get tho Perfume Known
as New Mown Hay.

as New MoWn Hay.
Grass, freshly cut or otherwise, has
had nothing to do with the production
of the perfume labeled New M0wn
Hay" The source OF the essence Is
really the tonka bean, found In the
tropical countries OF South America,
chiefly In the valleys Of the Orinoco.
Caura and Cuchivero rivers In Vene-
Kuela and certain sections Of Colon
bia and Brazil.
The tonka bean tree In some cases
reaches a height of sixty feet. 1t has
pinnate leaves and large panicles Of
flowers, which are succeeded by pod
containing a single seed. The odOr,
which is remarkably strong, resembles
that Of sweet clover new mown hay
and Is due to the presence OF cumartn,
a crystallizable, volatile, neutral sub
stance which Is soluble In alcohol or
ether and somewhat so In boiling wa
ter, from which 1t crystallizes on cool
ing. The beans are often frosted with
the appearance Of being sugar coated.
The collectors In Venezuela and Colon
bia usually set out for the forests In
February, when the fruit begins to
ripen. They go up the rivers In canoes
or skiffs by the hundreds, stopping
wherever the trees are plentiful, and
when the fruit begins to fall the pods
are gathered and taken to some open
space where sunshine Is plentiful and
there carefully Nushed and the beans
extracted and then spread out to dry.
When thoroughly dried they are loaded
into the boats and transported to Gu
dad Bolivar or some other convenient
port, where they are sold to the ex-
porting merchants. Here they go
through the process OF capitalization
by being stepped in strong rum or al
cohol for about twenty-four hours and
then again dried.
They lend their fragrance to nigh
grade tobacco, fine toilet soaps, to
"brilliantine" and other hair dressings
and dyes. to cosmetics, to favoring ex-
tracts used I'm confections and to many
other things that crafty the sense Of
smell.--Argonaut.

VALUABLE RUBBISH.
Fortunes Made Now In What Was

Once Looked Upon as Refuss.
A gold mine In refuse heap may
sound strange, but It is a fact, for
many things once considered mere
waste are now source of more wealth
than an ordinary gold mine would
yield.
In the earlier days Of gas lighting the
coal tar was regarded as horrible
nuisance and surrepdtlously got rid Of.
Then the great discovery was made
that all the hues Of the rainbow dwelt
In this dirty looking stuff which men
despised and threw away Today the
byproducts of coal tar are counted by
the scores.
In Lancashire alone cotton waste,
once considered rubbish, has an annual
value of f15,000000! 1t consists Of
fag ends and sweepings and pickings
and combings. Thousands Of women
nre employed to divide this stuff into
good, mlddling and bad, and Il is sold
ut various prices for different purposes
--papermaking, mating, surgical wad
ding and, most of all, the making Of
Bhoddy.

Instinct of the Mudfish.

The remarkable instinct which causes
the mudfish to roll himself in a ball Of
mud when the dry season approaches
Is wonderful provision Of nature, in
tended solely. 1t would seem, to pre-
vent the extinction Of the species. The
most interesting fact about this fish is
that II breathes by means of its gills

means of lungs during its voluntary

The Dramatic IN Life.

The undying interest which Is taken
In the theater is explained by the very
profound line with which Shakespeare
began a very silly speech, "All the
worlds a stage" People, as rule,
take no interest In anything that Is not
dramatically or, ms in the case Of poll
t1cs, melodramatically formulated. Any
creed to be popular must be dramatic
ally stated. Therefore the gospels are
preferred to the epistles. Aesop's fables
are remembered because they are the
truth about things stated dramatically
and morally Bernard Shaw.

Fat Crystals.
If small quantities Of butter, lard and
beef fat be separately boiled and slow
ly cooled for, say, twenty-four hours,
the resulting crystals will show very
marked differences under the micro
scope. The normal butter crystal is
large and globular. 1t polarizes bril-
lantly and shows well marked st.
Andrews cross. That of lard shows q
stellar form, while that of beef fac has
foliated appearance. In course of
time. as the butter loses its freshness,
the globular crystal degenerates and
gradually merges into peculiar rosette-
like forms.
