Spain's Free and Easy Railways. An idea of the free and easy meth ods o~f the railways in Spain is given in this incident. related by Henry A. Franck in "Four Months Afoot In Spain:" When I reached the station next morning the platform gate was locked and the train I had hoped to take was legally departed. A railway hanger on in rags and Lemp sandals. however. climbed the iron picket fence and shouted a word to the engineer. Then, beckoning to me to follow, he trotted back into the build~ing and rapped au thoritatively on l'; closed window of the ticket Offce. "Senor," he said as the agent looked out upon us, "Lc kind enough to sell this caballero a ticket." "The train Is gone," answered the agent "Not so, senor," replied the bundle of rags haughtily. "I am having it held that this cavalier may take it." "Ah, very well," responded the offB cial, and, having sold me the ticket, he handed to the hanger on the key to the platform gate. As I passed through it the latter held out his hand. into which I dropped a copper. "Muchisimas gracias, caballero," he said. bowing profoundly, "and may your grace forever travel with God." Germs In the Teeth. Everybody knows in a general way how important it is to give the teeth a good cleaning and to rinse the mouth out first thing in the morning. The object, of course, is to remove the ac cumulation of bacteria which gathers on the teeth, gums, tongue and palate during the hours of sleep. How many germs do you suppose accumulate dur Ing the night's sleep? In answer to this question E. C. Bousfield, writing in the London Lancet. gives some in teresting and rather startling figures. which are worth quoting. He states that he has found the mouth on wak ing in the morning to obtain about ,000,000,000 bacteria capable of being removed by a fivefold rinsing with twenty-five cubic centimeters of water each time. After ordinary washing of tho teeth with a hard tooti'-rush about one-fourth the number could still be rinsed away. After using tooth paste only 120,000,000 were left. Gorillas. At present there is not a live gorilla In America. There have never been more than three, and only one of these lived more than a few weeks. "I would give $10,000 for a gorilla in good condition," said the superin tendent of a noted zoological garden. "and we could get the money back in a few months owing to the. crowds of people who would come tosee it. A gorilla would be a great drawing card, but gorillas cannot be got for money. They grow sometimes to 400 pounds in weight Their home is a small strip of marshy land on the west coast of Africa. The strip is perhaps 250 miles long and 100 miles deep, and the gorillas stay back from the coast and are hard to get. Once out of their native element they die from climatic changes and lack of proper food." petroit Free Press. *Caste In Music. "Soeimes it is a disadvantage to have a musician with a reputation at the head of a hotel orchestra," said a iotel manager. "We found this out Zot long ago, when people from the middle west, who are among our best 'patrons, wanted our orchestra to play at a wedding in which they were in 'terested and which took place in a private house~ As the company got a little warmed up they decided they would have some dancing, so the host ess asked the orchestra leader-to play. Would he? Not on your life. He' was an artist, he was, an~d it was nca his business to descend to playing for dances. The result was that one of the guests had to play the piano, and we almost lost the trade of the family we. were trying to be especially nice to"NwYork Sun. Heine Made Goethe Smile. When I visited Goethe, in Weimar, and stood before him, I involuntarily glanced at his side to see whether the 'eagle was not there with the lightning -in his beak. I was nearly speaking Greek to him; but, as I observed that 'he understood German, I stated to him in German that the plums on the road between Jena and Weimar were very oo.I had for so many long winter ,nights thought over what lofty and pro. ~found thin I would say to Goethe if ever I saw him.

The process takes place generally in June, when the fleece is "ripe" and the silky wool can be pulled off without pain. This is called "rooing" and is much less dam aging to the young fiber than clipping with shears. The wool when thus han died retains its peculiar softness, so that any one of experience can tell whether the material of a knitted ar ticle has been plucked or shorn. It ripens first upon the neck and shoul ders, so that sheep half pulled resem ble in some sort a poodle that is clipped. We must suppose that harsher handling prevailed at one time, for we read that in 1616 the Scottish privy council spoke of' the custom as still kept up "in some remote and uncivil places," and James I. wrote to tell them that it had been put down in Ire land under penalty of a fine. Upon this they passed an act on March 17, 1616, deploring the destruction of sheep thus caused and imposing similar fines on those who should persist in the practice. Cleanliness and Arsenic. In Styria and Carinthia there is much arsenic eating among the peas ants. The women take It to give themselves a good complexion and to make their hair fine and glossy. The men take it because they believe that It gives them wind in climbing in the chase after chamois. In Styria and Carinthia It is known that an arsenic eater can never be broken of the habit and that if arsenic be compulsorily kept from the eater death rapidly en sues. It is believed in the Tamar and this Is perhaps true-that an ar senic worker is fit for no other work. He must remain at this occupation. Health and breath fail him at other emp.Wments. Eventually It may be that chronic arsenical poisoning en sues. But this may be staved off, if not wholly prevented, by scrupulous cleanliness. by care taken not only to wash in the "changing house," but to bathe freely at home. As one of the foremen said to the writer, "Against arsenic the best antidote is soap taken externally."-Chambers' Journal. A Piscatorial Gunner. The jaculator fish, the piscatorial gun ner of the Javan lakes, uses his mouth as a squirt gun and is a marksman of no mean ability. Go to a small lake or pond filled with specimens of jacula tors, place a stake or pole in the water with the end projecting from one to three feet above the surface, place a 'beetle or Ily on top of the pole and await developments. Soon the water will be swarming with finny gunners, each anxious for a shot at the tender morsel which the experimenter has placed in full view. Presently one comes to the surface, steadily observes his prey and measures the distance. Instantly he screws his mouth into the funniest shapes imaginable, discharges a stream of water with precision equal to any sharpshooter and knocks the fly or beetle Into the water, where he is in stantly devoured by the successful Nimrod or some of his hungry horde. This sport may be kept up as long as the supply of beetles and files holds out. The Air Mile. The air mile is a unit of measure ment that came into use with the ad vancement of aviation. We have the land mile and the sea mile, which Is approximately one-seventh longer than the land mile of America. The nautical mile 'is often incorrectly called a knot, but a knot is a measure of both dis tance and time. It Is correct to say that a vessel makes ten knots, but to say that she makes ten knots an hour Is tautology. The air mile is measured differently from the land mile and the sea mile. It is alan ileminus the retardation of an adverse wind or plus the accleration of a favoring wind. Thus an aviator could cover many air miles while hovering over a given point on the earth's' surface. -Browning's Magazine.___ ____ Watching Sponges Grow.
