notice Of the incident, merely remark
ing, That's all right" Sir Charles

The Stars In the Sky.

Man may never know how many
stars there are. The best we can dc
10 TO figure on the number that can be
seen with the largest telescopes that
have been invented, for you know
there must be many millions of them
which to us are invisible.
We have counted the stars so far as
we can see them, or, rather, so far as
we can photograph them. Astronomers
have found that a Photographic plate
exposed to the stars will show more of
them than can be seen with the naked
eye. By this method, the Book of
Wonders" tells US, man has been able
In a way to count the stars he can
see. It adds up to more than a hun
dred million of them. Astronomers
found this out by taking photographs
Of the heavens at night, devoting one
picture to each section until the entire
heavens had been covered and then
counting all the stars shown In the
pictures.

Fortunes In Farthinqs.


Il Is well known that shopkeepefs
make pounds by ignoring farthings OF
by giving something for them that Is
worth far less than a farthing, but
where shopkeepers make the pounds
banks and the English government
make their hundreds OF pounds. II a
farthing Is due from you in taxes you
are charged onepence. On the other
hand, you are never paid onepence for
a farthing.
The same principle Is applied to frac-
lions Of pounds. Banks in reckoning
interest for themselves call any part
Of Fl a full pound, whereas In reckon
ing interest for you odd shillings are
left out Of account Thus for q de-
posit Of 800 es. lid. you would receive
interest on f99 only.
It Is amazing how the state profits
by not paying fractions Of pence.
The government has a special fund
IN which are placed the fractions OF
pence withheld In paying dividends on
government stock. This fund amount
ed 10 more than 100000 In ten years
before being used for other purposes
As far as the government Is concern

Laundry Lines.

Be sure to iron garments with the
straight of the goods and thus prevent
stretching Of the bias seams.
1t Is best to give linens a long soak
ing before washing. If this method
Is followed stains will wash out easily.
To remove ink spots from linen or
cotton, dip the spots in pure melted
taIlow. Wash out the tallow and the
ink will come out with it.
Do not stretch the round centerpiece
on the bias before ironing, but treat
it as though it were square. Stretch
first with the warp. then with the woof
Of the material and iron in the same
way. The result will be a perfectly
smooth, round surface.

serious miscalculations as the rest Of
Us, according to Mr.. Chapman. Some
times" he says, encouraged by an
unusually mild period, birds come so
FAR ahead of their usual time that they
are trapped by the sudden return Of
cold weather. Then If they do not re
