In front of tht Chelsea housa Sir Thomas Mure hud 11 garden and got house, nnd, ns there wns a pleasant view from the summit of the gate house, he used frequently to sit thera, accompanied only by his dog. Here It was that he was found one afternoon by n wandering iniuilac, who crept up stairs and saw the feeble old man doz ing. "Leap, Tom, leap!" lie cried, and at the same time tried to throw lilm orr the battlements. More had not phys ical strength enough to resist, but he had the wit to say: "Let ns first throw this little dog over." The tnau Immediately threw down the dog. "Tretty sport," said the lord chancel lor. "Now, go down and bring hlin tip; then try ngain." While the madman went down for the dog More made fast the door be hind hiui and so managed to hold the fort until deliverance came. The Earth' Journey. Our world's journey In space Is a long one, If we are to accept the con clusions of Dr. Turner of the Univer sity observatory of Oxford and Profes sor II. C. riunimer, royal astronomer of Ireland. IJecent astronomical work suggests that the sun and Its planets form a single unit In a vast system, the stars In which, though separated by enormous distances, have n com mon center of gravity, and In response to gravitation all move In unison like a stupendous machine. The paths of these stars, instead of being nearly circular, lil;e those of the planet3 around the sun, are much like the oscil lations of a pendulum. The calcula tions show that on this elongated course our sun must travel 400.000,000 years before completing a revolution and that it passed near the center less than a million, perhaps not more than 800,000, years ago and is now ou the outward stretch. Barney Barnato's Comedy. In the journal South Africa the late Sutton Vane, the dramatist, once told this story of Harney IJarnato: "He was the best amateur melodramatic actor I ever met. A little rough; so Is a dia mond, but the fire is there. He played Claude I'rollo in Victor Hugo's 'Es meralda' splendidly, I playing Quasi modo, the hunchback, with him. In the great scene on the parapets the hunchback tries to. throw the monk (Frollo) into the street. Mr. Barnato resisted vigorously. He seized nie by my hump, which came oft In his hand. It was a sponge bag stuffed with va rious articles. He shook his fist at me and then, with a quiet smile, threw the hump from the cathedral roof. Look lug over, he exclaimed: 'Good heav ens! I have killed a policeman!' Tre mendous round of applause from the audience." Armies of Animals. Some Idea of the vast numbers of animals that Africa used to support can bo gained from a passage In W. Scully's reminiscences. It was Mr. Scully's good fortune in 1802 to wit ness the last great trek of springboks from east to west of the liushmanland desert a trek on a scale such as no man will ever see again. Fencing, the Increase of population and the distrib ution of arms have almost exterminat ed the once innumerable host. He says, "I have stood on an eminence some twenty feet high, far out on the plains, and seen the absolutely level surface as far as the eye could reach covered with resting springboks, while from over t!ie eastern horizon the ris ing columns of dust told of fresh hosts advancing." Shoes and Nerves. Travelers say that the reason why nervous people don't exist in China is because it Is there the custom to wear soft shoes. There is no doubt that hard soled, creaking footgear is responsible for much nervous wear and tear as well as much physical fatigue in west ern lands. Tired feet and tired nerves will find solace In a warm foot bath with a handful of sea salt in it. Move the feet about or keep them still as best pleases you as long as the water Is pleasantly warm; then dry them with a rough towel and put on a fresh pair of stockings. Dundee Advertiser. Bread of Persia. I'ersiau native bread differs little from that used a thousand years ago. The Persian oven is built of smooth masonry work in the ground, usually about the size of a barrel, and inuny of those now in use have been used for a century. The dough Is formed into thin sheets about a foot long and two feet wide nnd slapped against tho side of the oven. It bakes In a few minutes anil is set out to cool. Long Headed. "What will you do with the $20,000 If you get a verdict in your breach of promise suit?" "I guess," said the dear girl, "I'll marry the lawyer. It's such an awful lot of money to let get out of one's hands." Puck. Bohemia's Coal Mines. The lowest human habitation is said to bo that of the coal miners in Bo hemia, some of whom make their dwellings at a point over 2,000 feet be low the I ;vel of the sea. Voting. "Do you believe that women ought to vote?" "Sure! Aud, what's more, I think men ought to too." Detroit Free Press. Origin of the Dead Letter Office. "What was the reason for our otlice getting its name of the dead letter of fice, as it is often called?" said an olU clal in the returned letter office. "Well, It was originnlly started In order to re turn to the senders all letters, etc., ad dressed tJ people who turned out to be dead. The need for such an arrange ment became evident from the num ber of valuable Inclosurcs contained In such missives, and that the old tradi tion still lingers in the department is evident from the fact that the bags containing returned letters are black in color. "Yes, there are people who imagine us to be mysteriously connected with death itself, nnd some time back we received a peculiar letter from one of them. Within a week of having a let ter returned to her a certain person living in the Bame house had died, and consequently the writer, evidently as sociating her friend's death directly Willi us, begged us in future never to send back letters again, but to burn them instead." London Answers. The Bridal Veil. The bridal veil Is evidently of east ern origin, being a relic of the bridal canopy held over the heads of the bride nnd bridegroom. Among the Anglo-Saxons n similar custom existed, but if the bride was a widow It was dispensed with. According to Saruin usage, a fine linen cloth was laid upon the heads of tho bride and bridegroom and was not removed until the bene diction hud been said. The old British custom was to use nature's veil un adornedthat Is, the long hair of the bride, which was so worn by nil brides, royal, noble aud simple. Only then did every one behold the tressc : of maidenhood in their entirety and for the last time, as after marriage they were neatly dressed on the head. Among some the tresses were cut and carefully stowed away ou a woman becoming a wife. It was customary in Itussia for village brides to shear their locks on returning from church. Family Doctor. Trees and the Soil. The soil is a resource of priceless value, its formation on rocks is ex ceedingly slow. According to Profes sor J. Bowman, many glacial scratches that were made on rock during the lust glacial period, between 00,000 and 75, 000 years ago, are still as fresh as if they had been made only yesterday. Yet since the glaciers thus recorded themselves man has come up from the cave and the stone hammer. Seventy thousand years is a very short time for the development of a soli cover. For man it means a period so great that the mind can hardly grasp it The cutting off of the trees exposes the soil so that the rain beats upon it, and since It has lost the protection that the roots and the litter on the ground afforded the soil is soon washed away. In fifty years a single lumber mer chant can deprive the race of soil that required 10,000 years to form. Youth's Companion. Premiums Upon Babies. Augustus, emperor of Home, made babies a passport to office. By the Lex Tapia Toppaea, passed in A. D. 0, definite preference ns regards office was given to tho fathers of satisfacto rily largo families. Such fathers were eligible tor office before twenty-five. They took precedence of colleagues with no children or fewer tnan three and were preferred all round. The privilege was called the "jus trlum llb eroruni" (three children privilege), but the qualifying number, three in Home, was four in Italy, five In the prov inces. Tho system, however, never worked well. A Snow Hurricane. The buran, or snow hurricane of the Pamirs, is a meteorological phenome non of great interest. Even in mid summer the temperature during a snow buran frequently falls to 14 de grees F., while in one winter it drop ped to 45 degrees below zero at the end of January. The buran comes with startling suddenness, the atmos phere growing dark with whirling snowflakes where scarcely a minute before the sky was perfectly clear. Very Sad. First Salesman A woman was ar rested downstairs this morning. Sec ond Salesman What for? First Sales man She was caught In the act of concealing n hand mirror. Second Salesman Poor woman! That's what comes of taking a glass too much. Chicago News. The Indicting Instinct "Do you think women ought to hold public office?" "Well, in some cases. But, judging from tho way they talked about every body in the community, I'd bate to have those who met at my house yes terday on a grand jury." Washington Star. Phenomenal. 'Tapa," asked Willie, "what is phe nomenal?" "It is phenomenal, my son," explain ed Mr. Wlsepate, "when a lawyer is content with a nominal fee." Truth. Ribbons. The original spelling of ribbon was ribband, for It was a band that went around the waist, inclosing or binding the ribs. The hair ribbon is thus a very odd verbal paradox. Silver is of less value than gold, gold than virtue. Horace. Size of Queensland. To give some idea of the size of Aus tralia, Queensland alone is half as big again as Germany, Austria and Hun gary put together. Its area Is CC8.40T square tulles. r Best for Ditch Work RFIELD 1 3-inch 1 7-inch a Also a lino tan 18-inch boot, lacctl in front, ana somewhat lighter rip- JoJ ANYS $n.0J p f WJM $8.50 No Other Boot Has As Many Water-proof qualities.
