Odd North EnaIish Dialect.

A strange set of numerals was used by the elder generation of farmers in one of our northern dales, especially for counting sheep, and the procedure was as follows:
 A gap was made in the wall just wide enough to admit one sheep at a time, and as the sheep were driven through the farmer counted them, making a notch in his stick at every fifteen.
 Theoretically the numerals sound like "yann, tame, tether, neither, pip, sax, sane, caterer, wheeler, dick, yann-er- dick, tane-er-dick, teth-er-dick, neither er-dick, boomfit."
 "Boomft" was fifteen, and so a notch was made in the stick, and the strange chant began all over again.-London Chronicle.

How to Flreproof Cloth and Co Make
 Sympathetic Ink.
 Sympathetic ink" popularly consid. cred first aid" to war spies in writ ing invisible communications, and "freproof cloth" offer two interesting chemical experiments the formulas for which have been supplied by a con tributor to the Electrical Experimenter, They follow:
 Sympathetic Ink.-With a clean steel pen write on white paper with cobalt chloride solution and let dry. When the paper is held near fire the writ ing will gradually appear and disap- pear again when 1t cools because the chloride absorbs moisture from the air. Even though the paper is scorched, the writing will still be visible.
 Fireproohng Cloth. - First get two glass tumblers. Add two teaspoonfuls of ammonium chloride to the water in one glass and stir until dissolved. In the other glass put piece of cot ton cloth two or three inches square and then pour the dissolved ammonium chloride into the glass containing the cloth and see that 1t Is well soaked with the solution. Hang the cloth up and let 1t dry. Then touch 1t with a lighted match. It will burn in the flame, but will go out as soon as the flame Is removed.

Serving His Country.

A certain public office has been the object of much satire because of the passive nature, as a rule, of the in- cumbents duties. In this connection the following extract from Moses Colt Tyler's journal, written in Washington years ago, is interesting:
 President Grant never starts a con versation, but when 1t is started he often says a neat thing. Last year there was an excursion down the Pc tomac. He was on board, with his cab met and a quorum of both houses.
 "Mr. President said Mrs. Judd, who sat near him, 1t would be pretty bad thing to have a great accident hap pen to this party. Nearly the whole government would be destroyed.'
 "'Yes. Mrs. Judd,' assented the pres ident. but you observe that the vice president has very prudently stayed at home.'"

4ANY PLACE THAT IS WILD"
John Muir Wanted to Get Far From ths
 Maddina Crowd.

WdndlIl9 OEOWSs
 Once, on reading magazine article by an enthusiastic young mountain climber who dilated upon his thrilling adventures in scaling Mount Tyndall, John Muir commented dryly: "He must have given himself a lot of trouble. When I climbed Tyndall I ran up and back before breakfast"
 At time when trails were few and hard to find he explored the Sierra, which, he said, should be called not the Nevada or Snowy range, but the Range of Light. When night came he selected the lee side of a log, made Q fire and went to sleep on a bed of pine needles. If 1t was showing he made bigger fire and lay closer to his log shelter.
 Outdoors is the natural place for man," be said. II begin to cough and wheeze the minute get within walls"
 Never at a loss to make his way in the wilderness, he was completely be- wildered in the midst of city streets.
 What is the nearest way out of town?" he asked of man In the busi- ness section of San Francisco soon aft CT he landed at the Golden Gate in 1868.
 "But I don't know where you want to goP' protested the surprised pedes- trian.
 ''To any place that is wild" he re- plied:-Mary R. Parkman in St, Nich- olas,

STYLES AND THE WOMAN.
Fashions In Dress and Hair In tho ori-

Fashions In Dress and Hair In tho ori-
 ent and occident.
 Styles of oriental dress differ wide ly, but can safely leave it to any un- prejudiced observer that the American and European woman is the most hid eously, ineficiently and uneconomically dressed woman on earth. The Japa- nese kimono, familiar to all of us and typical of oriental garb, Is made of straight lengths of material which, like all the others, is usable after its first freshness Is gone.
 We, boasting of our efficiency, cut garments into inconceivable bits, have them sewed together at great expense, only to discard them as useless after a few months wear.
 And consider hairdresslng. It's all matter of taste whether one smooths each individual hair with coco butter. as in India, or with a paste of slippery elm bark, as in China. Both are to be preferred to the usual untidy appear ance of the western coiffure that leads the oriental to ask. Do they ever comb their hair?"
 The more you know of oriental worn- en the more you know they are like us, The seeming differences are largely a matter of superfcialities, like the color of the skin. Indian women use saffron to produce a beautiful yellow complex ion. Chinese and Japanese women like a touch of carmine on their sallow faces, while American women put on first carmine coating, then white. Each is plainly satisfied with the eff fect-Estelle Paddock in World Out look.

Postage Stamps end eerms.

By wetting the gum on the stamp with the tongue is the way disease may be spread by a postage stamp. It has been established by experimentation in laboratories that postage stamps do carry germs. In forty-eight tests out of a total of fifty bacteria were found. The fact that in only two cases were the germs of a malignant type does not lessen in any degree the danger that turks in wetting the gum on the stamp with the tongue.

CURIOUS coURTsHIp.
Chinese Girls Allowed No Choice Ia
 Picking a Husband.


 As soon as the Chinese lady is old enough to be married her father chooses husband for her, She is nev- CT allowed to see him herself. Her father carries on all the courtship for her. The poor Chinaman does not see his girl until the day of the wedding. He does not know whether she is pret- ty or whether she has temper.
 On the great day the bride is dressed in very gay clothes and placed in a sedan chair, and she is carried toward her husband. A crowd of people go with her, carrying torches which are lighted even if 1t be a noon wedding.
 A band of drums and flies preeedes the chair, and, no matter how hard the bride tried to get away, she could not, as the chair is locked, and an old serv- ant carries the key. The key is then given to the bridegroom, and he is the only one privileged to open 1t.
 When he opens the doors of the se- dan chair he lifts the veil the little Chinese lady wears over her face, and if he does not like the face of his fu- ture bride he orders the servants to take her back to her fathers roof, and be pays the girl a sum of money to make up for the loss of his compan- ionship. But if he thinks he is going to like the little lady he asks her to come in, and the chair is sent back empty. Then there is a grand feast and the Chinaman is married.

Inseet luminosity.

Luminosity is normal in the well known luminous beetles, including the various firefies and glowworms, and results naturally from the oxidation of some organic secretion. Other in- sects are luminous in rare instances. Rev. J. Holroyde, vicar of Patchum, England, lately noted luminous moth larvae similar to those observed once or twice previously, and the chirono- mous-a kind of gnat-and the Han tern beetles" of South America are among the creatures sometimes lighted up. The occasional luminosity has been attributed to disease or decom- position from bacterial infection

The cannon ball which plunged through the head and tore out the brain of Charles XII. did not prevent him from seizing his sword hilt. The idea of attack and the necessity for de- fense were impressed upon his mind by a blow which we would naturally suppose to have been too tremendous and instantaneous to leave even the slightest interval for thought-London Snectator.
