The Color of
The color ol' the skin in the^S^H
races of man has never yet be#n scWH
tifieally accounted for, although numer
ous mythological stories have been told
and senseless theories advanced as rea
sons for the remarkable variations in
lute. Nor have we any certain data
concerning the color of the cuticle of
the primeval man, the original “lord
of creation.” A pretty African legend
is that he was as black as the prover
bial ace of spades and that the present
pale color of the Caucasian race is the
result of the scare God gave Adam at
the time of the fall.
It is proper to state here that the
same legend says that the present
black A.ce are descendants of one of
Adam’s sons that was born and left
Eden before the great change in color
overtook our first parents. The Chi
nese believe tliat Unoriginal man was
a creature half god and half man and
that Ills color came about as a result
of bathing in a river of liquid gold.
The Mussulmans, the American In
dians and several oriental tribes and
nations account for their prevailing red
or copper color by telling the story
of the Giynt being creating the first
pair from red kaolin, the common lire
clay of the potter shops.
Itent Selling- Bonk 111 the World.
The Bible is the best selling book in
the world. It leads, and by a long in
terval, all other publications in copies
purchased 111 the ordinary channels of
trade without regard to what may be
called the official distribution.
Every bookstore which undertakes
to carry a full line of stock sells the
Bible. Several Important corporations
confine themselves to the manufacture
and sale of Bibles, and others find in
the Bible their leading feature. Of no
other book can this be said. Speaking
some time ago of the insatiable de
mand for the Bible as an article of
merchandise, an officer of the Metho
dist Book Concern said: “Like all pub
lishers, we have to keep watch of the
sale of books in general, even the most
popular, so as not to got overstocked.
But thi'-o-ver occurs in printing the
Bible, v®"’ Just keep the presses stead
ily at work, and if we happen to find
that we have 40,000 or 50,000 copies
on hand It gives us no uneasiness. We
are sure to sell them, and we go
straight ahead printliig.”—Century.
The Dirtiest .People In the World.
With possible exceptions in the cases
of Tibet and Lapland we are compelled
to admit that the English working
classes tire probably the dirtiest bi
peds in the world, alike In their clothes
and In their persons, and that they
display themselves In public and even
travel by public conveyances in condi
tions which would not be tolerated in
any other civilized country.
Nothing like English working class
dirt is ever seen in public on the con
tinent of Europe unless in its far east
ern portions, and dirt is prejudicial to
health not only by its direct physical
operation, but, in a still greater de
gree, by reason of the absence of self
respect which it entails and winch re
moves from the dirty man or woman
at least one safeguard against drunk
enness and against misconduct.—Lon
don Lancet.
Asparagus, deservedly u favorite veg
etable, was extensively cultivated by
the ancient Romans, but was not In
troduced into England before 1060.
In some parts of Europe the seeds are
used as substitute for coffee, and a
spirituous liquor Is made from the ripe
berries. Asparagus is both lithic and
diuretic, and Its roots used to be ex
tensively used In medicine. In some
old recipe books directions are given
for boiling asparagus one hour, but
this is a great mistake—twenty or
thirty minutes Is long enough to cook
It sufficiently—but there was one sug
gestion worth following. Instead of
cutting off the white parts It advised
that t.Yey be broken, saying that if
they were too tough to break they
were unfit to eat.
Sheep Sorrel I’le.
A Kansas editor pays tribute to the
sheep sorrel pie, which was one of
the luxuries of primitive Kansas. “It
was dried apple pie fro'ni December
until grass, or until the squaws came
around with wild gooseberries. But,
happy thought, with the coming of
the johnny jumpup came sheep sorrel,
and, with sorghum sweetening, what
lovely pies were made! Corn bread and
Missouri bacon, sorghum and butter
milk, with a quarter section of sheep
sorrel pie to finish up! Kansas people
of this day and generation don’t know
what real good living is.”
Useless Labor.
“Don’t be afraid of making me angry
by telling me your candid opinion of
my verses, old fellow. Criticism doesn't
make any difference with me.”
“I know that, my dear boy, but the
trouble is that it doesn’t make any
difference with your verses either.”—
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Singular and Plural.
“Funny! There was a time when the
barbers used to speak of my hair.”
"You mean before you began to get

Ice In India.
Dr. Wells, a London physician, ln
ISIS, In Ids published essay on dew,
was the first to draw attention to the
curious artificial production of ice 111
India. Shallow pits are dug, which
are partially filled with perfectly dry
straw. On the straw broad, fiat pans
containing water are exposed to the
clear sky. The water, being a power
ful radiant, sends off its heat abun
dantly Into space.
The heat thus lost cannot be re
placed from the earth, for this source
Is excluded by the straw. Before sun
rise a cake of Ice is formed in each
vessel. To produce this ice 111 quan
tities clear nights are advantageous,
and particularly those on which prac
tically no dew falls. Should the straw
get wet It becomes more matted and
compact and consequently a better
conductor of heat, for the vapor then
acts as a screen over the pans, checks
the cold and retards freezing.
lllrds Are Mnlliennitictnn*.
The English naturalist, Morris Gibbs,
devoted years of study to birds’
their formation and their contents, and
asserts that birds lay their eggs in ac
cordance with geometrical lines, so
that every inch of space is used to the
greatest possible advantage. Birds
which lay many eggs arrange them In
circles, the pointed ends turned to the
inside. Others, whose eggs are elliptic
ally shaped, place them in longitudi
nal rows. If an egg Is moved out of
its original position by an intruder, it
will be found on the following morn
ing that the bird has returned it to its
first position. Among the numerous
and often difficult cases which Gibbs
made a matter of study, not one was
found which would not do credit to a
mathematician.
Cromwell find the Specter.
The stories of the “White Lady” that
periodically visits the German royal
family and of the “Little Real Man’’*
that frequently paid his respects to tho
groat Napoleon are tolerably well
known, especially that of the former.
But few, perhaps, are familiar with tho
story of Cromwell’s “Giant Specter.”
It appeared to him one night when he
was wide awake and quietly resting on
Ills couch. In appearance the appari
tion was a woman of gigantic propor
tions. Approaching him she announced
in tones like thunder, “Within the year
you, my son, will be recognized ns the
greatest man in Britain.”
Crcntlon of n Knight.
The ceremonies at the creation of a
kniglit have been various; tlw principal
were u box on tho ear and a stroke
with a sword on the shoulder. John
of Halisbury tells us the blow with the
naked fist was in use among the an
cient Normans; by this it was that
William tlie Conqueror conferred tho
honor of knighthood on his son Henry.
It was afterward changed into a blow,
with the lint of the sword on the shoul*
der of the kniglit.
