It was & contested-will case and one
pf the witnesses,in the* course of giving:
his evidence described the testator mi
nutely.
"Now, sir," said1 counsel for the de
fense, "I suppose we may take it, from
the flattering description you have
given of the testator, his good points
and bis personal appearance generally,
that you were Intimately acquainted
with him?"
"Him!" exclaimed the witness. "He
was no acquaintance of mine."
"Indeed! Well, then, you must have
observed him very carefully whenever
you saw him?" pursued the examining
counsel.
"I never saw him in my life ^was
the reply. &
"Now, now, don't trifle with the
court, please. How, I ask you, could
you, 4n the name of goodness, describe
him so minufelyif you never saw him
and never knew him?"
"Well," replied the witness, and the
smile which overspread his features
eventually passed over the ccrurt^ "you

A cubic foot pf dry air weighs more
than a cubic foot of motet air at tha
same temperature-apd pressure. The
addition of vapor to a cubic foot of
dry air enlarges the volume of the mix
ture if the air is free to expand, as in
the atmosphere, and as the. vapor has
on^y about two-thirds the density of
dry air at the same temperature and
pressure the density of the mixture is

A Baptist minister tells the following
Story:
"A friend of mine, who is quite a
scholar, once accepted an invitation to
preach at a country church in the south,
and, -as was his custom, he used very
learned language. After the service
the pastor of the church said that he
felt sure the members of the congrega
tion did not understand the sermon.
'Nonsense!' replied my friend. 'I-am
sure there was nothing in my sermon,
which they could not comprehend/ 1
•Well,' said the pastor, «I will cS

stands the meaning of the word "felic

and said, 'John, can you tell me what
is the meaning of the word "felicity?"*

'but I believe it is some part of the in
side of a pig.' %fk -N^aMlf

A Jaa Beaat.
In the days when the late archbishop
of Canterbury,, Dr. Frederick Temple,
'was .master of-Rugby he sentenced) to
expulsion a boy who was innocent of
the offense charged against him* but
who could not^clear himself without
exposing the real offender. -The lad
made up his mind to bear the punish
ment and wrote to his father saying
that he was sure his family would: rath
er have him expelled than know him to
be a sneak.
The father promptly sent the letter to
Dr. Temple, calling attention to a post
scrint in which the boy said he wished
tho doctor could understand the matter
and added, "Temple is a.beast, but he
is a just beast."
It is on record that Temple did under
stand, and the boy was not expelled.
Dr, Temple, grim old man that he was,
was always proud of the title "a just
beast"
A Choking-
Dogs frequently choke. A bone, a
nail or a piece of tin gets in the
throat, and there is great, danger pf
death before the arrival of the surgeon.
Many of them do die, but there is no
reason for this, for it is easy, without
the slightest danger of getting bitten,
to put the hand in the mouth of a dog
and to draw out or push down the ob
struction that is choking it. A bandage
—a handkerchief or towel will do—is
passed between the teeth and over the
upper jaw, and In a similar way anoth
er bandage is passed between the teeth
and over the under jaw. One person,
holding the ends of these two band
ages, keens the dog's mouth wide open.
A second person can then with perfect
ease and safety put his fingers

After "Which Departed
In Cornwall Christmas eve is a special
holiday with children, who are allowed ta
sit up till midnight and drink to the
"Mock"—as the Yule log is called there,
The Twelfth cake was formerly made
fall of plums and with a bean and a pea.
Whoever got the former was king and
whoever found the Jatter was queen of
ba,ceremoniea,—New Y^rk Herald.
But- is very difficult to determine
whence all the gems came, as discov
erers .took care to leave no record. The
nations who traded in them were
afraid of their whereabouts being
known, and even the most ancient mer
chant^ would not disclose any definite
locale^. All sorts of myths, have ac
cordingly sprung up concerning the
origin of gems, "Diamond" was the
najmetgiven to a youth who,was turned,
into the hardest and -most brilliant, of
substances to preserve him from ''the
ills .that flesh is hen* to." Amethyst
was a beautiful nymph beloved by
Bacchus, but saved from him by Di
ana^who changed Amethyst into a
gem], .whereupon Bacchus turned the
gem.into wine color and endowed the
wearer with the gift of preservation
from intoxication.

H»w Hlarh Can a Balloon Riaet
The altitude that may be attained
by a balloon depends, first, upon its
size secondly, upon the filling of gas,
and, thirdly, upon the weight being
carried. A balloon of ordinary size,
43,000 cubic feet, carryingsthe smallest
weight—that is, one person—when filled
with illuminating gas may reach 20,000
feet, but when filled with hydrogen
27,000 feet In order to* ascend higher
we first of all need a bigger balloon.
One may say It was a happy chance
that the Royal Meteorological institute
of Berlin was provided with a balloon,
of the unusual dimensions of 30G»Q00
cubic feet The German emperor fur
nished £500 for making experiments
with it and the Meteorological insti
tute decided to make use of this op
portunity for studying the highest re

A ad W a to Bird
It is Quite a common practice for per*
sons owning pet birds to teach them to
take bits of sugar or other food liked
by the bird from the lips. It has been
discovered that the trainers of young
birds in Europe frequently contract in
this way a peculiar parasitic growth on
the throat and lungs that is frequently
fatal, and a warning has been issued
by French physicians which may Well
be heeded by any one feeding birds
from mouth to beak.
