General Grant’s Reserve.
Seeing General Grant so fre
quently, I had reasonable opportu
nity for studying his moods and be
coming acquainted with his views
on many subjects. The topics were
for the most part introduced by
himself, and there was a freedom in
their discussion that was in strange
contrast with his general reputation
for studied reserve. His insight
into character and motive was the
outgrowth of long and varied expe
rience with men and circum
stances and was always edifying to
the listener. In recognizing fully
the hopelessness of his physical ail
ment and that the mortal issue was
a mere question of time there was
a sad sincerity in his reflections that
allowed no doubt of their weight
and accuracy. At times he appear
ed to talk for posterity, that he
might leave behind him some tes
timony that would be suggestive or
useful to others. —Dr. Shrady in

Avoid Dandruff.
Dandruff is infectious. Many
men get the germ from the brushes
and combs used in barber shops and
women from those used in hair
dressing establishments. There is
great danger of this kind. In some
places there is no doubt that the
brushes and combs are' thoroughly
cleansed and soaked ,i n antiseptic
solutions each time they are used,
but these places are very
'at home the dandruff germ may be
passed from one member of the
family to the other by the inter
changeable use of combs and
brushes without first cleansing them
thoroughly.—Harper’s Bazar.

A LONDON FOG.
The Dense Blackness That Lasted For
1 wo Weeks In 1813.
According to an old paper called
the Mirror of the Months, there is
an amusing account of London fogs,
which the author speaks of as “far
famed.” He says that November is
the great month for such delicacies
and adds that it i3 like “breathing
water and the fishes too. It is also
meat and drink, something between
egg flip and omelette souffle,” but
much more “digestible than either,”
and it wraps you, he continues, all
around like a cloak, a patent water
proof, one which no rain ever pene
trated. These were no doubt fogs
of the ordinary winter type. Bat
there have been great fogs, fogs that
were remembered and talked about
for years after. Such a one was
that wliich took place on the 27th
of December, 1813. This was in
the days of the regent, afterward
George IYL
The accounts of this celebrated
fog are meager, but those that exist
are sufficiently authentic and fully
bear out the assertion that it was
the most alarming that ever hung
over London. For two weeks the
whole city was in total darkness, a
darkness that is described as being
felt. The mails wore delayed,coaches
on the highroads were overturned,
people were lost for days, business
was at a standstill. There was not
a breath of wind to carry away the
smoke, which increased in density
every hour. The, oldest citizen had
never heard tell of anything to com
pare with it. Added to the confu
sion caused by the total darkness,
tnurders, robberies and street brawls
tvere incessant. Few dared to walk
the streets for fear of being assault
ed, and the terrible silence that set
tled down over all was only broken
by the curses of the hackney coach
men as they collided in the narrow
roads or the shrieks of some wretch
ed victim who was being murdered
for his purse. The cold was intense,
so much so that many of those who
had lost their way in the fog were
frozen to death. After this terrible
state of affairs had lasted close upon
a fortnight the fog lifted, and then
came such a fall of snow as had
never been known within the mem
ory of man.—London Globe.
Invitations to Burglars.
Here is a bit of testimony volun
teered by a retired burglar that
ought to be seriously considered by
women who have the habit of deck
ing themselves out in ‘all their jew
elry every time they go into the
street.
“Almost every really successful
naul I ever made in the jewelry
line,” said he, “was the result of
plans carefully laid after shadowing
some woman that looked like a
walking jeweler’s showcase. It was
not worth while wasting my talent
on a house that didn’t contain any
thing worth taking chances on. I
never went into anything blindly.
In order to make no mistake as to
the value of the plunder I just
watched the beringed, the bedia
monded ladies in the streets and
shops and followed them till I
found out where they lived. Then
when the opportunity came I sailed
in. If it hadn’t been for the kind
ness of the ladies in advertising the
loot I wouldn’t have been nearly
so successful as I was.”—New York
Times.
Why He Was There.
The occasion was the annual re
union of the survivors of the —th
regiment, volunteer infantry, and it
took place in a thriving city in one
of the western states. Among the
veterans in attendance was a sol
dierly, erect old man with the fire
of youth still in his eye, who had
journeyed across half a dozen or
more states in order to meet once
again his comrades of the long ago.
It came his turn to address them.
He rose and began:
“I have traveled 1,700 miles”—
Here the memories of the old
days overcame him, and his voice
brokfe. Recovering himself With an
effort, he tried again:
“My dear old friends and com
rades, I have traveled 1,700
miles”—
Once more his emotions mastered
him. Dastfing the tears from his
eyes, he made a third attempt:
“I have traveled 1,700 miles,” he
blubbered, “to do the crying for
this whole regiment!”
Fruit and Sugar For Horses.
Grain is not the only food on
which the horse thrives. In Egypt
the khedive’s best mares are fed
largely on currants, and these fruit
fed animals are noted for their en
durance and speed. Figs during the
fig harvest form the food of the
horses in Smyrna. They turn to it
from oats or hay. The green tops
of the sugar cane are fed to the
horses of the West Indies, and for
long weeks in many parts of Canada
windfall apples 4orm the horse’s
only food. In Tasmania peaches
and in Arabia dates take the place
of the usual hay and oats, corn an ]
bran.
CURIOUS PROBLEMS.
Do You Think That You Could Count
Up to a Trillion?
Some persons openly manifest an
aversion to mathematics. Can they I
be censured when such problems as
these are presented to view ?
One little statement that set
many people to thinking about
their limitations first appeared in a
publication some twenty-five years
ago. It simply stated, “You cannot
count a trillion.” Many tried it,
but all gave up before counting
very long. Supposing you counted
without stopping at the rate of 200
every minute of the day and night,
how long would it take? You could
count 12,000 an hour, 288,000 in a
day, 105,192,000 in a year of 365*4
days. Since a billion is a thousand
million, it is a simple matter to see
that it would take nearly ten years
to reach that sum, and 6ince a tril
lion is a thousand billion it does
not require a great stretch of the
imagination to see that we could
never reach that amount unless we
had in the neighborhood of 10,000
years to devote to the task.
A woman of social ambitions
once remarked to an acquaintance
that she had eighteen intimate
friends whom she wished to have to
dinner, but as her table seated only
eight she could have only six guests
at a time. It was suggested that
she invite them in rotation, chang
ing the guests until each had been
to dinner with all of the others. At
the first dinner she announced her
plan, and one of the guests asked if
she had counted the number of din
ners she would have to give before
she had made the complete rota
tion. When he learned that she
thought twenty or 'thirty dinners
would answer he laughed, took a
pencil from ,bis jjpeket and after
figuring a feW minutes told her that
it would require 18,564 dinner par
ties to finish her plan. At the rate
of 300 each year this would require
nearly sixty-two years. The plan
was abandoned. lie then suggested
that she see how many ways she
could seat the eight people around
the table, and she was ready to try
that as well until told that it was
possible to arrange 40,320 searings
without having any two alike.
Suppose six horses are entered in
a race. If some one should offer to
bet that you could not tell the ex
act order in which the six horses
would cross the tape you would
probably not fare to take the bet
unless you were given good odds,
say 50 to 1 or 75 to 1. Many would
be willing to bet under such condi
tions. But their chances to win
would be exceedingly small. Any
one of the six horses might be first;
any one of the other five might be
second. Of the other four any one
might be third. There would be
three choices for fourth place, two
for fifth and one for sixth. Now,
since the same possibilities would
remain, no matter how we started,
it is easy to see that the total
number of arrangements must be
6xsx4x3x2xl, or 720, so that the
bettor has exactly one chance in
720 of winning, provided he knows
absolutely nothing about the horses.
If he takes odds of 100 to 1 he is
almost certain to lose, for he is real
ly the one who has given the odds
7.2 to 1 even at 100 to 1. —Freder-
ick B. Emery ia Chicago Eecord-
Herald.
Trees and Lightning.
There is a popular belief that
certain trees are less likely than
others to be struck by lightning and
that during a thunderstorm it is
?uite safe to stand under a beech,
or example, while the danger un
der a resinous tree or an oak is re
spectively fifteen or twenty times
greater. This is disputed by Dr. A.
W. Borthwick in “Notes of the
Royal Botanical Garden of Edin
burgh.” The doctor says thattao
tree is immune, since liglitning will
select one species quite as readily
as another and the beech as readily
quite as frequently as any other
species. Apparently the taller trees
in a neighborhood are the one3
most likely to be struck. Contrary
to what is believed by some people,
the cells are not “ruptured or torn
by the formation of steam, as might
happen if the heating by the elec
tric current was very gjreat. The
cells collapse and shrink up, but are
never torn.” The root system does
not seem to be ever*damaged by
lightning.
The Long Lived Parrs.
Thomas Parr, who died in Lon
don in 1635 at the age of 152 is not
able not only for his longevity, but
also for that of his descendants.
Parr lies buried in Westminster ab
bey. He worked his farm at the
age of 130 and married for the sec
ond time at the age of 122. Robert
Parr, a great-grandson, died in
Shropshire in 1757 at the age of
124. His father lived to be 109 and
his grandfather 113. John Newell
died in 1761, aged 127, and John
Michaelson, aged 127 also, died in
1763. Both were grandsons of
Thomas Parr.
