Wonld Be m Lons Journey Even With
Transportation Facilities.
There Is a perpetual fnsclnntlonabout
the stars and the Immense distances at
which they lie from one another and
from us. To demonstrate the vast dis
tance of Centaurl from this planet a
popular scientist gives the, following
Illustration la London Answers: “We
shall suppose that some wealthy direct
ors, for want of outlet for their en
ergy and capital, construct a railway to
Ceutaurl. We shall neglect for the
present the engineering difficulties, a
mere detail, and suppose them over
come and the railway open for traffic.
We shall go further and suppose that
the directors have found the construc
tion of such a railway to have been pe
culiarly easy and that the proprietors
of Interstellar space had not been ex
orbitant In their terms for right of
way.
"Therefore, with a view to encourage
traffic, the directors have made the tare
exceedingly moderate—viz, first class
at X penny per hundred miles. Desir
ing to take advantage of these facili
ties, a gentleman, by way of providing
himself with small change for the jour
ney, buys up the national debt of Brit
ain and a few other countries and, pre
senting himself at the office, demands
a first class single fare to Centaurl.
“For this he tenders In payment the
price of the ticket, f1,100,000,000.
"Having taken bis seat, It occurs to
him to ask:
“ ‘At what rate do you travel 7’
“ ‘Sixty miles an hour, sir, lncludlug
stoppages,’ Is the answer.
“ ‘Then when shall we reach Oentau-
rl?‘
“ ‘In 48,663,000 years, sir!’ ”

Binding the feet.
rhle Queer Chlmeae Custom le n Com
paratively Modern One.
China’s custom of binding the feet of
Its women Is not as ancient as has
been supposed. A correspondent of
one of the native Chinese papers
quotes from the letters of Yuan Mel,
who lived In the eighteenth century..
In oue of his letters Yuan Mel wrote
to n friend: "You ask me to got you a
handsome wife anil ardently desire, ns
your first requisite, that she shall have
small feet. Surely you cannot be one
who admires true beauty. An admirer
of true beauty has his own Individual
tastes, dlsdalulng to follow tho dic
tates of others. Our ancient literature,
In both prose and poetry, has many al
lusions In praise of beautiful -women,
but In no Instance touches upon small
feet.
"A work treating of the customs of
the Sung dynasty by Shen Yo says a
man’s well made shoes are said to be
square, and a woman's round, at the
toe. In the T’ang dynasty, tho first al
lusion to the feet of Yang Kwel Fel.
the court beauty, was about her silk
stockings. In one of Han Tung Lang’s
poems, referring to n woman's feet, he
says, 'Her six Inch feet so bright and
sleek.' These allusions clearly point
to unbound feet.”
Ynutl Mol’s letter concludes by say
ing that the taste of those who Ignore
the beauty of face and form Is deprav
ed. He laments that sensible men
should bo so led away by a foolish
fashion.
Orlno Laxative Fruit Syrup is best
for women and children. Its mild ac
tion and pleasant taste makes it pref
erable to violent purgatives, such as
ptllB, tablets, etc. Get the booklet and

Tbe First steamer That Filed For
Hire la Great Brltala.
Among the curiosities of advertising
may surely be placed the first ad
vertisement ot the first steamer that
plied for hire In Great Britain—namely,
Henry Bell’s Comet. Thus ran the ad
vertisement In the Glasgow Courier of
1812:
“Steam passage boat, the Comet, be
tween Glasgow, Greenock and Helens-
burg. For passengers only. The sub
scriber having. at much expense fitted
up a handsome vessel to ply upon the
river Clyde , between Glasgow and
Greenock—to sail by the' power of
wind, air and steam—he Intends that
the vessel shall leave the Broomlelaw
on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur
days about midday or at such time
thereafter as may answer from the
state of the tide and to leave Greenock
on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays
in the morning to suit the tide. Tbe
elegance, comfort, safety and speed
of this vessel require only to be proved
to meet the approbation of the public,
and the proprietor Is determined to do
everything In his power to merit public
encouragement. The terms are for the
present 4 shillings for the best cabin
and 3 shillings for the second, but be
yond these rates nothing Is to be al
lowed to servants or any other person
employed, about the vessel.”
What would poor neglected Henry
Bell have said could he have seen his
humble little Comet, of whose elegance,
comfort and speed he was so proud,
alongside a modern ocean racer or one
of the latest palatial river steamers of
the Clyde or Thames, all so well ad
vertised?—Chambers’ Journal.
Wbr Timothy Gross Is So Called.
The forage grass known to the farm-
ers of the United States as timothy Is
so called because first Introduced and
extensively cultivated In this country
by one Timothy Hanson, a farmer of
Maryland. This species of gross Is
well known In England and all over
western continental Europe, where It
Is grown extensively by most farmers
between the Mediterranean and the
North seas. Tbe botanical name'of this
grass Is Phleum pratense. Timothy Is
known In the British Isles as cat’B tall
grass and In several of onr eastern
states aB herd, or herd’s, grass. It was
grown In large quantities In Maryland
and Pennsylvania long before a spear
of It had ever been seen In England,
the first seed of It ever seen In the last
named country - being Imported from
America.
The "It" le Rather Important.
Here's something that may save
yonr life when a bull gets after you:
When a bnll charges, Just before the
final lurch he shuts his eyes, and If
yon have the presence of mind to
stand stock still nntll he Is about two
or three feet from you all you have to
do Is to step aside, and he misses you.
Any child with sufficient presence of
mind to do this can let a bull charge
all day with perfect safety. This Is
not a new thing, as It is one of tbe se
crets of the bullfighter In tbe coun
tries where the sport is practiced. The
bullfighters say that a. cow doeB not
do this, and they would never try any
such tricks with a mad cdw.

Origin of the Orange.
It Is to India and to tho Arabs as
middlemen that Europe, and through
Europe America, owe the orange. The
orange crossed from Africa to Spain
with Mohammedanism, while probably
the crusaders are to be thanked for
bringing It to Italy and western Eu
rope among their trophleB of the east.
The very name Is ■ really Arabic—"na-
ranj"—and of eastern origin, though
tbe legend that It comes from two
words meaning “elephant” and “be
111," because elephants ate oranges to
make themselves 111, Is absurd. Prob
ably In French the Initial "n” Is drop
ped off from nnranj, with the final
“n” of the indefinite article, just as
our "an apron" represents "a nnpron,”
and the spelling with an “o’’ points to
false association with “or” (gold).—

Two Irishmen were digging a sewer.
O'he of them, was a big, strong man
about six feet four Inches In height,
and tbe other one was a little, puny
man about four feet bIx Inches. The
foremnn came along to see how the
work was progressing and noticed that
one of them was doing more work than
the other. “Look here," he cried, "how
is It that little Dennis DUgan, who Is
only half your size, Is doing nearly
twice ns much work as you, Patrick?”
Glancing down to his partner, Pat re
plied: “And why shouldn’t he? Ain’t
he nearer to It?"
