The Siamese Topknot.

A Siamese child, whether boy or girl, wears its hair in a little topknot until it has attained the age of eleven or twelve years. On reaching this age the topknot cutting ceremony takes place. The child is dressed in its best, and amid much rejoicing of relatives and friends the topknot is cut, one lock at a time. The head is then com. pletely shaved by the priests. All guests invited to the ceremony bring presents, usually money, which is carefully invested for the child by its parents or guardians. A young prince or princess will sometimes receive as much as $25.OO0 in presents at his or her topknot cutting ceremony. while a poor child may get $10 or $15.-Wide World Magazine.

Testing an Explosive.

One of the most dangerous of e1plo- sives is iodide of nitrogen, a black pow der which the slightest touch will often cause to explode when dry with great violence. In experiments to de termine the cause of it's extreme ex- plosiveness some damp iodide of nitro gen was rubbed on the strings of a bass viol. It is known that the strings of such an instrument will vibrate when those of similar instrument having an equal tension are played upon. In this case after the explosive had become thoroughly dry upon the strings. another bass viol was brought near and the strings sounded. At a certain note the iodide of nitrogen on the prepared instrument exploded It was found that the explosion occurred only when a rate of vibration of sixty a second was communicated to the prepared strings. Vibration of the G string caused an explosion. while that of the E string had no effect

Plain Living and High Thinking Rule
 His Existence.
 In "Rabindranath Tagore." by Basan- ta Koomar Roy, is this picture of the simple life of the great poet and seer of India, who won the Nobel prize for literature:
 "Tagore himself lives alone in a house. He gets up with the morning bell. sometimes before. and takes his morning bath. goes on the roof and loses himself in meditation for hours at time. In this house he quite of ten cooks his own meals in an eco homie cooker He does not eat much. Boiled rice. boiled potatoes, cauliflower or beans, enough of butter are all that he cares to eat. He is not fond of milk or sweets. He takes long walks for exercise and is fond of gardening.
 Plain living and high thinking is the keynote of his life at Bolpur. He breaches to the boys and to the teach CTS twice a week in the temple. His love for the children is of an idealistic nature. At times one of them will steal into his room and watch him smile and move bis head to and fro as he writes or thinks over q poem. One such boy startled him by exclaiming. That's how the madmen do.'
 "'Yes. my child. poets are worse than madmen. When did you come into the room?"

 In the earlier days of gas lighting the coal tar was regarded as horrible nuisance and surreptitiously 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.OONOOO! It consists of flag ends and sweepings and pickings and combings.
