A hinh Prioad Erioasaaa.

Lord Alvanley. a noted wit and high
liver in England hundred years or so
ago, insisted on having an apple tart on
his dinner table every day throughout
the year On one occasion he paid a
caterer 81 900 for luncheon put up In
a basket that sufficed a small boating
party going up the Thames. Being one
of a dozen men dining together at a
London club where each was required
to produce his own dish, Alvanley's, as
the most expensive, won him the ad-
vantage of being entertained free of
cost. This benefit was gained at an
expense of $40, that being the price
of simple fricassee composed entirely
Of the ''noix." or small pieces at each
side of the back, taken from thirteen
kinds of birds, among them being 10O
snipe. 40 woodcocks and 20 pheasants-
In all about 300 birds.

The Test of Education.

;. The test of good education is the
liegree OF mental culture which 1t I'm
parts, for education. so far as its object
% scientific. Is the discipline of the
mind. The reader must not overlook
what is meant by the word mind when
used In reference to education. That
some dumb animals are possessed of a
sort Of understanding is admitted. but
Ilt has never been asserted that they
enjoy the use Of reason. Man, how
ever. has the faculty called reason In
addition to his understanding. Accord
|ing1y what we mean by saying that
the object Of education Is the cultiva-
ton of our minds or that the goodness
Iof an education varies with the de-
gree OF mental culture amounts simply
Ito this-that we better perform our
functions as rational creatures In pro-
portion as we carry further the dis
ltinction between ourselves and the
brute creation-that is, in proportion as
we are better fitted for the discourse of
reason.-John william Donaldson.

Maxine Lenses.

There is absolutely no other human
occupation that requires the accuracy
OF observation and the delicacy of
touch that are requisite for the max
ing of the finest lenses. These are the
most perfect products of human hands.
It may convey some idea of the labor
required in the making of large lens
10 say that at least one years time is
required for the grinding and polishing
of thirty inch object glass. A little
lens two inches In diameter requires
the unremittlng care and attention OF
q skilled workman for two or three
days. 1t is easy. then, to see why it Is
that even lenses for high class photo
graphic work are costly. A forty inch
object glass for large telescope can
not be made in much less than four
years time, and If everything does not
90 just right 1t may require much
longer than that.

IL that 1t is true and. what's more,
that 1t happened in one of Pittsburgh's
stores.
The girl, stylishly attired, stepped up
to the still more stylishly attired floor
walker and inquired where she would
find the chiffon. The fioorwalker con-
suited a notebook. Her surprise came
when he gravely told her that they did
not keep chiffon.
'sWhy," she gasped. you cannot pos

In her eagerness she stepped closer
to the stylishly attired man than Flea

man should, and looked over his shout
der at the notebook.
"Oh, seev' she said fatty as she
moved off to ask for the girl at the

Cold Baths.

A few years ago the remarkable dis
covery was made by Professor Winter
nitz of Vienna that general cold baths
have the effect of increasing the num-
Der of active cells in the blood to a
very remarkable extent, the increase
sometimes amounting to one-1fth or
even more. This Is one OF the ways in
which the cold bath increases the re-
sisting power of the body, and rallies
the blood cells, so to speak. calling
them out from their hiding places and
preparing them to fight with vigor the
battles which must be waged every
moment in defense Of the body.-Good
Health.

THE NUMBER NINE.
Easy to Multiply by II II You Will Re-
member This Rule.

Easy to Multiply by II II You Will Re-
member This Rule.
Examine any one Of the statements
of equality In the multiplication table
of nine. up to and including nine times
ten. Select, for example. 9x7=63; or
0x2@1S
Observe that in each case the first
digit In the product Is one less than
the number by which nine is multi
piled, and the second digit in the prod
uct is such that when added to the
first digit, the sum of the two Is nine.
You may make practical use Of this
popularity of nine and its multiples by
applying it in the following way:
If nine is to be multiplied by eight,
for example, think at once of seven
(which is one less than eight, the null
tiplier); then think Of two, which must
be added to seven to make nine, and
you have seventy two. the product OF
nine and eight.
Or, If nine Is to be multiplied by five
think Of four. which Is one less than
Ave; then think of FIVE, which must
be added to four to make nine, and
you have forty-five. the product of nine
and five.
BY using this method the mines
usually among the hardest of the Ia
bles to fix In the memory, may, in 6
short time, be fairly classed with the
fives and tens and elevens, which arr
said to remember themSelveS."-

months until the monsoon changes,
when the toilers start homeward with
their "coin."
