Meteoric dust Is ever falling and up on all pa:-{3 of our planet. Tho little spheres have boon found upon the decks of ships far out at sea, In all the deserts of the earth and on the tops of snow chnl mountains. Dredg lugs brought up from the sileut depths of the ocean give testimony of their universal presence. The particles all contain iron and are easily collected by the magnet from the roof of any outhouse or other place exposed di rectly to the sky. Seafarers are sometimes pelted with dust of quite a different kind, compos ed of the microscopic flinty skeletons of beautiful plants called "diatoms." XhepQ. tiny plants live In both salt nnd fresh water and occur in enor mous numbers in some localities. Oc casionally water courses and Inundat ed areas dry up, and the flinty shells of the diatoms which grew there aro blown about as dust. There are sev eral Instances on record of dlatoxna ceous dust falls at sea. During the thickest part of the fall the sailors have experienced much pain iu their eyes, the inflammation being caused by the little flinty shells. SECRETARY SEWARD^ (UN Itiflneiicc I'pon the Foreign Pol icy of Tlti* Conntry. The imjwrtance of Secretary Sew ard's influence iu the domestic affairs of the United States duriug Johnson's administration has probably been ex aggerated, hut it would be hard to ex aggerate the Importance of what he achieved and of what he Initiated In his own proper Held of diplomacy. His chief, occupied as he was with fierce controversies over other subjects, found, we may well suppose, but little time for foreign relations. He does not appear to have Interfered with policies which were already adopted or to have Initiated any new policies of his own. Seward must therefore be held respon sible to a degree somewhat unusual for the conduct of the delicate negotia tions, involving very far reaching con sequences, which the war gave rise to. It was he who first presented America to Europe lu that iittltude of cousclous strength which the thorough establish ment of our nationality at last enabled us to take. It was he wife reasserted effectively, yet without any nrrogauco, our traditional stand In reference to the Latin republics to the south of us. It was he .who, faclug westward, ac complished nil expansion of our sys tem Into a region never contemplated until his day by thoso who guided our destinies aud turned our thoughts up on the shores of the Pacific as a field for American trade and American in fluence.

When Acadia was flually as a result of that long war relinquished to England it was given to Governor Bernard,, but as this i^entle* man when the Revolution broke out was loyal to King George the estate was confiscated. Meanwhile M. Bar tholomew Gregolre and his wife, Maria Theresa, who was the granddaughter of the original grantee, revived the claim of Cadillac, and it was allowed. For years the Island remnlued a soli tary place, with long stretches of un broken forests Into whoso labyrinths no stranger dared venture without a guide, its land uncleared, its future un dreamed of, but artists, weary of the commonplace, found out the spot nnd bore to dwellers In towns glimpses of Its wild charms, and now nud then a world worn, brain spent man would steal away to seek the Island's solitude and stimulus. These seekers for beau ty or health would carry their own camp outfit or later would patronize the hotels. The first summer cottage there was built on a site that was bought for $800. When fashion had put her stamp of approval upon the place land that would not have brought a dime an acre during tho time of the Gregolres was sold at from $25,000 to upward of |100,000 an acre.—Four Track News, fiesta STRANGE ACCIDENTS. A Broken Neck an the Itenalt of the Turn of Toot. "The man who fell out of bed and broke his neck win scarcely attract' more than passing notice," said a' thoughtful man, "for there have be^n many cases equally remarkable. I re call one case where a man's, neck was broken by a very slight turn of his foot. Ife attempted to Vatch himself'— that is, to preserve his balance—and the effort was »»f such violence that he broke his neck. Many men have bro ken their necks by a sudden stumble and a fall on the sidewalk or by being knocked down by some hurrying pedes trla'n, or by a street car or a vehicle of some sort. "It Is not at all uncommon for a po liceman, with no inteutlon of doing more than subdue an unruly member, to break an olteuder's neck by rapping him over the head with his club. Some times the fall which follows and some times the blow breaks the neck of the offender. Sometimes a sudden, violent motion of the head, a quick Jerking motion, the kind we make when dodg ing, will break the neck. "I recall a case where a man threw his neck out of joint without breaking it by throwing his head to one side In an effort to dodge a bullet fired at him at short range. The bullet passed through the rhn of his hat. Even after that he carried Ills head tilled over the right shoulder and was never able to straighten It." New Orleans Times Democrat. $00 I0 •JIHH1 DUST OF THE DESERT. It In nu Affliction, but It In Not Im pure, Like Cltr Dunt. A traveler In Egypt writes: "With all Its heat and dust the desert has Its charms. True, the desert dust is an affliction, for when certain evil winds blow tho desert Is shrouded In dust vast swirling clouds through which no eye can see. But when the dust storms have blown over and the desert is calm again you forget the dust, for tho desert dust is dusty dust, but not dirty dust. Compared with the aw ful organic dust of New York, Lon don or Tarls it Is inorganic aud pure. "On thoso strips of the Libyan and Arabian deserts which He along the XUe the desert dust Is largely made up of shredded royalty, of withered Ptolemies, of faded Pharaohs, for the tombs of queens nnd kings are count ed here by the hundreds and of their royal progeny and their royal retain ers by the thousands. These desiccat ed dynasties have been drying so long thnt tliey nre now quite antiseptic. "Dust of these dead and gone kings makes extraordinarily fertile soil for vegetable gardens when irrigated with the rich waters of the Nile. Their mummies are also said to make excel lent pigments for the brush. Hameses and Setos, Cleopatra and ITatasu- all these great ones dead and turned 4o clay—when properly ground make a rich umber paint highly popular with artists.'' The Stuart Klnf?«. The family name of the Stuarts was originally, as Mr. Bayley observes, Fitzalan. Tho original Walter Fltz alan, brother of the ancestor of the dukes of Norfolk, was lord high stew ard of Scotland, and from this cir cumstance his branch of the family nppcars to have adopted the name of Stewart. When the chauge began is not certain, but it was probably not later than the time of Alexander, the great-grandson of Walter Fitzalan. for both his sons—James, tho grandfather of Robert II. and all the Scottish Stew art kings, nnd John, tlio ancestor of Lord Darnley—appear to have borne the name of Stewart. Notes nnd Queries. A DcNlflrnlnflT Doctor. The Sydney Bulletin tells of a mo toring doctor who ran Into and cap sized a pedestrian, no looked behind him and, seeing the man still firone, made a circuit and ran back, Intending to stop beside and help him. But the motor shot a yard or two beyond the mark and hit the man again Just as he was getting up. The doctor turned his car once more and was cautiously stealing near to tho prostrate sufferer when an excited spectator rushed from the sidewalk and, shaking the victim, exclaimed: "Look out! lie's coming nt you again!" Whereupon the man scrambled up and started to run. Ilntc All Aronml.

I once speut my vacation in the lit tle village of Schoenwald, in the Black forest. One day the son of tho pro prietor of tho iun at which I was stay ing said that he was going out to catch some trout and asked me If I would accompany him. He was In his bare feet, ids trousers rolled up. nnd he had a small, very much elongated keg slung by a strap over his shoul der instead of a creel. The keg had a square opening on the top side, nnd he said that ho would show me how to catch trout without tackle. We went down to a small brook ruuning through a meadow near the house. He partly filled the keg with water, theu, wading a few yards up stream, stooped down and carefully felt under the loug grass which hung over the bank. After awhile he lifted a nice brook trout out of the water and put it into the keg nnd then wading a little farther repeat ed the operation and took in all some twenty trout out of the brook. He told me thnt he caught the fish by feeling carefully around under the grass at the edge of the bank, and when lie* felt one he tickled and strok ed It until by a quick movement he could Insert his thumb aud forefinger into the fish's gills nnd then lift it out of the water. I went with him und saw him catch fish in this way several times.—New York Times. THE CHEEK BONE. It IM Said to lie the Moat Sensitive I'nrl of Our Anatomy, "What is the most sensitive part ot our anatomy?" asked an ivory carver. "The tip of the tongue," said one. "The fiuger tips," said another. "Wrong both wrong. It is the small patch of skin over the cheek bone that Is our most sensitive part," said the ivory carver, "and in smoothing ivory wo always test our work on that patch of skin." He took up a large ball on which he had been working. "Here," he said. "Try this. Is it smooth?" The two visitors tossed the ball in the air nnd declared It to be smoother than satin or cream. "Now," said the carver, "test It with your finger tips and your tongue." These tests .were made, and the ver dict was given, "still smooth." "Now test it with your cheek bone." The visitors Iu turn rubbed the ivory ball delicately over their cheek bones and uttered exclamations of atnaze meut. "By Jove, it feels rough!" they said. "The cheek bone must be sensitive." "Sensitive?" echoed the ivory cutter. "Why, the cheek bone is the only part of us that can lay claim to any sensi tiveness at all."—Philadelphia Bulle tin. CHEWING THE HOP. It Flrttt OnnNes Exhilaration and Then DrownlneM. "Where hops are raised hop chew ers exist," said a farmer. "The habit of hop chewing produces first a pleas ant exhilaration and afterward a de licious drowsiness. It is impossible to get drunk on hops, no matter how many you chew. "In hop growing countries the pick ers are forbidden to chew the hops. The pickers, indeed, working piece work, are sensible enough not to chew them, for the drowsiness and Jollity that hops bring on make fast picking impossible. "I have beeu told that there are tramps who know various herbs that, being chewed, cause drunkenness. I have no doubt this is correct. I have myself seen tramps drink alcohol out of alcohol stoves, kerosene out of oil cans and gasoline out of street lamps. Even cologue, were it not so hard to get, would be eagerly consumed by the tramp, for cologne will produce Intoxication. "If the same foolish conceit ail Jolli ty and afterward the same stupor and the same horrible sickness are caused by cologne or gasoline as by whisky, what is the difference which of them we drink?"—Exchange.
