The Old Constitution.

The Constitution originally car
ried forty-four guns. A particular
ly interesting history is connected
with this ship. During the war
with the Barbary powers in 1903
she was Commodore Preble's flag
ship in the Mediterranean and
played a conspicuous part during
the whole war. Lieutenant Wads-
worth, who was blown up before
Tripoi in the i'll fated Intrepid,
was one of the officers Of the Con-
stitution. In the course of the war
with England in 1872 the English
papers laughed at the Constitution
and spoke of her as "a bundle OF
pine boards sailing under a bit OF
striped bunting" But when under
Captain Hull she captured the
English frigate Guerrero, vessel
of nearly equal force, the people
who had before ridiculed her called
her zone of the stanchest vessels
afoat." A few months after this
victory the Constitution, then com
manded by Captain Bainbridge
compelled one of the finest frigate:
in the British navy, the Java, te
strike its colors.

THE ATTIC INSTINCT.
Why Some Persons Cling to Thing
That Are Rubbish.

The attic instinct hangs on sur
prisingly, and an observing eye can
tell how many years person has
lived in the city by merely glancine
under her bed. If there are three
hat boxes one will contain letters,
one scraps OF ribbons and laces-ii
it's a man it's newspaper clipping
and one anything from a broken
lock to old road maps. If, besides
these, there are bundles of maya
zines and piles of newspapers, not
to mention a bicycle seat and 8
green umbrella that one might use
In private theatricals-if all these
things have been placed under the
bed against the protests of the fam.
ily, if they are patiently moved
every cleaning day and clung to
through a moving, then their own.
ers have the attic instinct to such an
extent that there is not the slight.
est hope Of their ever being cured
They will think from an attic point
Of view for the rest of their lives
and their family might as well be-
come resigned.
When people are willing to make
themselves disagreeable over a bi1

nor should they be suspected of do

life where certain things were al
ways kept in the cellar, others i,
the wood shed, others in the pantr,
and the cupboard on the first floor
still others in the closets on th,
next floor, and everything and any
thing that overhowed from any o
these places was just taken up t
the attic. And now these poor dea
souls live with cellar, three storie

Rutterr,IIk q Life Saver.

A French medical man advises
people to drink buttermilk for long
life. He says that the Tactic acid
dissolves every sort of earthly depos-
it in the blood vessels, keeping the
veins and arteries so supple and free
running that there can be no clog
ging up, and hence there is no de-
posit Of chalky matter around the
joints OF of poisonous waste in the
muscles. 1t is the stiffening and
hardening of the blood vessels
which bring on old age. Butter
milk is likely to postpone it ten OF
twenty years if freely drunk. a
quart a day should be the mini
mum, the maximum according te
taste and opportunity.

Glass Polishing.

Glass grinding is effected by the
use of emery powder of various de-
grees Of fneness. But it has been
shown that this grinding cannot be
carried beyond a certain point,
however fine a powder may be used.
In fact, continuation of it undoes
the work and breaks the surface up
again. The most finely ground
plate, if largely magnifed, is shown
to be covered with tiny bits which
no grinding will remove. The work
is therefore continued with rouge
carried on a pad of rosin, which
gradually smooths down the eleva-
tions between the pits. Hydro
fuoric acid gas corrodes glass very
rapidly, but a weak solution of il
melts away the roughened surface
and leaves fine polish underneath
This method is used where very
fine adjustments of the surface are

The First Census-

The idea Of the census originated
among the Romans, when a group
of the many functions performed
by the high officer called censor re-
ceived the name Of Gems Is. 1t was
taken every five years and indicated
not only I. e number OF the respec-
tive classes of the people, but their
domestic positions as husbands,
wives. fathers. mothers, sons and
daughters. The first modern ma
ton TO tale up the cersus was the
United St tes of America in 1890.
The first Eritish census was in 1901,
but this did not include Ireland.
