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 Century. Avoid Dandruff.

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.
