Peculiarity of Magnetized Needle
When Placed In Water.
If a thoroughly dry and, clean sew
ing needle is very carefiilly laid on
the surface of the water In a basin
the needle will float In spite of the
high density, of steel seven dr eight
times that of water.
On close inspection it Is found that
the surface of the water Is depressed
under the needle, very much aa if
there were a thin film atretched over
the water, and slightly Indented by the
weight of the needle. This property
of liquids, of offering a certain assist
ance to a force exerted upon their sur
face, la termed "surface extension."
The magnitude of the force of surface
tension varies from one liquid to an
other. It is greatest in the case of
mercury. The cause of the phenome
non must probably be looked for in
the attraction of the liquid molecules
to one another. A sewing needle, thus
floating upon water, may be used aa a
compass, if it has previously been
magnetized. It will then point north
and south, and will maintain thia po
sition If the containing vessel is
moved about: If the needle Is dis
placed by force It will return to 1U
position along the magnetio meridian
as soon as the restraint is removed.
CURRENCY OF FUR8 AND 8KIN8.
Ceans
Primitive Mods of Exchange That Pro-
vailed tnJEarly Daya.
In the early days of the United
States furs and skins were very gen
erally transferred from hand to hand
as money. Thus, in the northern
states, a pound of beaver was regard
ed as the unit of value, and In the
south the same weight of deerskin
performed a similar function. In the
far west furs retained a currency val
ue until quite a recent date. But, aft
er all, as a bale of skins was rather a
bulky roll of money to carry about, It
was customary to cut off small strips
as tokens of ownership and pass them
from hand to hand, while the skins
were deposited in recognized places of
security. Proof of rightful ownership
was demonstrated when the strip was
fitted to the part from which it had
been detached. Trickery in substitut
ing another skm was not so easy as
might be imagined, because it seldom
happened that two skins would prove
so exactly similar in shade and length
of fur where the strip was cut off aa
to deceive even the eye of a novice.
Chess and Checks.
Chess was originally the game of
kings, the game of shahs. The word
"shah" became In old French "eschac,"
while the old French "eschecs" was
further corrupted into "chess." The
more original form chec has likewise
been preserved, though we little think
of It when we draw a cheque, or
when we suffer a check, or when wo
speak of the chancellor of the ex
chequer. The great object of the chess
player is to protect the king, and
when the king is in danger the op
ponent is obliged to say "check," 1. e.,
shah, the king. After this the various
meanings of check, cheque, or ex
chequer become easily intelligible. Ex
chequer, or scaccarlum, the name of
the chess board, was afterward used
for the checkered cloth on which ac
counts were calculated by means of
counters.
The Right Sort of Wife.
An Atchison man recently refused
a proposal of marriage. "I like you,"
he said to the girl, "but you bave too
many friends. There would be too
many at our wedding, for you would
be afraid not to invite them all, and
your many friends wouldn't be satis
fled unless they made fools of us by
playing aome kind of crazy pranks on
us when we started on our wedding
Journey. You have so many friends
that we would get all kinds of wed
ding presents that we don't want, and
would be kept poor In future trying to
pay back when the donors got mar
ried. You are nice, and I like you,
but what I am looking for In a wife la
a woman who is friendless." Atchison

A Lost Bet
An Irish waiter named Kenny was
noted for his wit and ready answers.
A party of gentlemen who were stay
ing at the hotel heard of Kenny's wit,
and one of them made a bet that ha
would aay something Kenny couldn't
answer at once.
A bottle of champagne waa ordered;
tbe one who had made the bet took
hold of the bottle and commenced to
open It Tbe cork came out with a
"bang," and flew Into Kenny's mouth.
"Ah," he said, "that la not the way
to Cork!"
Kenny took the cork out of hit
mouth and replied: "No. but it's the
way to 'Kill-Kenny.'" Ideas. ,
Ha Said It
"Horace," remarked Mrs. Flgtree,
"we are going to have company at din
ner, and I do wish yon would brighten
up and look lesa like an honorary pall
bearer. Say something humorous."
The company came, and, with a few
preliminary cough and winks, which
were Intended to announce to hit wife
that the witticism waa about to be
perpetrated, Mr. Flgtree said, timidly,
"Mary."
"Yea, dear, what la It?" asked lira.
Flgtree, graciously. '
, "Have you got all of your hair ea

"Did you see where a man sued far
