Whenever a candidate don’t need us in his announcements that is his business. 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 bald ?” “Y'es. Now they speak of my hairs.” 1 * 1 ..... pi is In w!#'' v bizarre: the startling; the ailurlilV^SwAWAg"* l *^ arc ii"w s.iimbt in the wind,%--- :v of every shop, from' the gi'enst'fvMMM meat store to the little camf ilttnA j from tli<> basement lights of a t»otle!> florist to the long plate glass front of a shoe emporium. Salaries of several thousand dollars a year are paid in cities to the “artists” most skilled in window dressing, and their requisi tions for plants or ribbons—totally ir relevant as these may he to the stock on sale and designed merely to add to the beauty of the window picture arc honored ungrudgingly. In effect the merchant says, “Give me a beau tiful window that people will stop and look at, and that yet shall Indicate generally the sort of goods I handle, and 1 do not care what It costs.”— Charles M. Itohlnson in Atlantic. 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. Act Tliut Kind. “What did you think of Philadel phia V” “I never was more imposed on in my life,” answered Colonel Stilweil of Kentucky. “They told me Phila delphia was famous for its mint, and all they showed me was a place where they make money.”—Washington bta:\ Fanny. Borrougbs—Mr. Merchant’s out, you say? Why, he had an appointment with me here. That’s very funny. New Office Boy—Yes, sir, I guess ho thought it was too. An ways, he was laughin’ when he went out.
