Blackburn. Ster-nson’ Inn of Misery. R. E. Stevenson, writing in 1593 to George Meredith, in an epistle quoted In anew edition of his "Letters,” says, with heart touching pathos: “For 14 years 1 have not had a day’s real health. 1 have wakened sick and gone to bed weary, and I have done my work unflinchingly. 1 have written in bed and written out of It. written in hemorrhages, written in sickness, writ ten torn by coughing, written when my head swam for weakness, and for so long. It seems to me, 1 have won iny wager and recovered my glove. 1 am better now—have been, rightly speak ing. since first I came to the Pacific— and still few are the days when I air* not in some physical distress. And the battle goes on—ill or well is a trifle so that it goes. I was made for a contest, and the (lowers have so willed that my battlefield should be this dingy, inglori ous one of the bed and the physic bot tle. At least, 1 have not failed, but I would have preferred a place of trum pet ings and the opeu air over iny head.” The Life Line In One’s Hand. There are three prominent lines In the palm—the line of life, that of the head and the heart line. The line of life begins on the inner boundary of the palm, about midway between the thumb and the forefinger. If we imaglue the left hand to be a map, with the fingers pointing north, this line runs toward the southeast, then curves toward the south and In some hands curves finally toward the southwest. It thus skirts the base or “uprise” of the thumb, known as the uprise cf Venus. If it is deep, broad, of good color and extends nearly or quite to the wrist and if the rest of the hand Indicates vitality and cheerful ness. the subject maybe expected to live to a green old age: lie lias a good dispo sition and the qualities which good health and good temper usually create.

A Kins’* Fenr of Woman’s Deanty. Charles Nil of Sweden feared only one power iu the world, the power of beauty; only a handsome woman could boast of making him quail—she put him to tligiit. He said: "So many he roes have succumbed to the attractions of a beautiful face! Did not Alexan der, my pet. burn a town to please a ridiculous adventuress? 1 want my life to be free from such weakness; history must uot fiud such a stain upoD it.” He was told one day that a young girl had come to sue lor justice on be half of a blind octogenarian father maltreated by soldiers.

There are many things which at first thought appear to lie easy enough of i accomplishment that it is pretty safe to bet a man he cannot do. Most people I know that tlie human hands are not strong enough to break anew laid egg if the hands are clasped and the egg laid endwise between the palms. It is said that the pressure required to breax au egg iu this manner amounts to tons. Among other safe bets is a wager that a man cannot rise from a chair without bending forward or putting his feet under the chair or outside of it. Many a man will back himself to give another a start of 50 yards iu a dash of 100, provided the man having the start hops all the way. But no runner, however swift, can give that amount of start to au ordinary man. For the first five yards they go at practically the same pace. Therefore the runner, to go 05 yards while the “hopper” goes 45, would have to run more than twice as fast, and it would be a weak man who could not hop 45 yards at a pace equal to 20 seconds for 100 yards, and that would mean t hat the runner in order to win would have to beat all previous records. If a limn boasts that bis penknife is particularly sharp, ask him to cut with one stroke of the blade one of those yellow ribbons, mostly of silk, which come around bundles of cigars. In 999 cases out of 1,000 the knife is not sharp enough to do this. It will cut through all the ribbon but the last strand, and that will pull out long, and the more be tries to cut it the longer it will pull out. * It is safe to bet any one except a blind mail that he cannot stand with out support of any kind for five min utes at a stretch if he is thoroughly blindfolded without moving Ins feet. If he does not move his feet he is pretty sure to topple over iu about a minute. SIGNIFICANT QUESTIONS. How the Small Boy Snocecded In Breaking Bad Xews Gently. “What do you want, little boy?” “Is this where Mr. Upjohn lives, ma'am ?” “Yes.” “The Mr. Upjohn that runs the, bank?” “lie is an officer in the bank.” “The Mr. Upjohn that went down town on a trolley car this morning?” "I presume he went on a trolley car. What”— “Is he the Mr. Upjohn that was in that horrible street car accident?” “1 haven’t heard of his being in any street car accident.” “Didn't bear ’at he’d sprained his an kle jumpin’ cut o’ the car when the train run it?” “No, iny little boy; you frighten me. What has”— “Didn’t bear how he run into a drug store for a piece o’ courtplaster to stick on a little cut he’d got over the eye?” “Not at all. For mercy’s sake”— “He isn’t in, is he, ma’am?” “No; he’s”— “Name’s John C. Upjohn, isn’t it?” “Yes, that’s his name.” “Then he’s the same man. lie won't be here for an hour or two, I guess, ’cause lie’s stoppin’ to have one o' his teeth tightened that got knocked a lit tle Hit loose when be was jumpin’ out o' danger, y’ know.” “Little boy. tell me the whole story. I think I can bear it now.” “Well, ma’am, he's in the hospittle with four ribs broke, an’ one log's in a sling, an’ his nose is knocked kind o’ sideways, but he's gettin’ along all right, an’ he’ll be out again in about a month, an’ here's a letter fin the doc tor tollin' y’ all about it, ma'am.”—Bos ton and rnveler. A Truly True Dope Story. Here is an Australian dog story from the back Weeks: A sheep dog had been brought from a station into a small township and fretted after the sheep. One day not a child was to be seen about the place, and as evening came the township became alarmed. Search was made, and the juveniles were found huddled up In the corner of a paddock, where the dog had rounded them up. He had no sheep to look aft er, so he took the children. The nar ) rator of this lie guarantees it ns a fact. It Works Both Ways. “You are an ungrateful child! If it hadn’t been for you. I could have gone ; to the mothers’ congress.” “If it hadn’t been for me. you couldn’t have gone, because you wouldn't have been’ a mother.” —Cleveland Plain Deal er. HOW A GLOBE IS MADE. The Process Used In Constructing a Model of the World. First, the model is covered with a thick layer of pasteboard in a moist state. When it is dry, a sharp knife is passed around it so as to separate the pasteboard coat into two hemispherical shells, which are then taken off the model and united at the cut edges with glue. The hollow sphere thus formed is the skeleton of the globe that is to be. The next tiling is to cover it with a coating of white enamel about one-eighth of an inch in thickness. When this is done, the ball is turn ed into a perfect roundness by a machine. The iron rod running through the center of the original model and projecting at both ends through the surface lias left holes in the new globe, which serve for the north and south poles, and througli these a metal axis is run to represent the axis of the earth. Then the surface is marked off with pencil lines into mathematical segments corresponding precisely in shape with the sections of map that are to be pasted on. These map sections are made from copper plates in just the size and shape re quired to fit the’globe that they are intended for, one set, of course, cov ering the entire spherical surface. They are printed, many of them, like dress patterns, on sheets of the finest linen paper, and are cut out carefully with a sharp pointed knife. When they have been pasted on. the different countries are tinted by hand with water colors. There is no special rule for this except that contrasts are aimed at as a help to the eye of the user. Finally the whole is overlaid with a brilliant white varnish, which is of almost metallic hardness and will wear in definitely without scratching or los ing its brightness.—Milwaukee Sen tinel. Ar.ts on “Horseback.” A French explorer, M. Charles Meissen, in traveling through Siam observed a species of small gray ants which were new to him. These ants were much engaged in traveling. They lived in damp places and went in troops. To his surprise, he noticed among them from time to time an occa sional ant which was much larger than the others and moved at a much swifter rate, and each of these larger ants, M. Meissen saw, always carried one of the gray ants on its back. This discovery led him to watch their movements closely. He soon saw that while the main body of gray ants was always on foot they were accompanied by at least one of their own sort mounted on one of these larger ants. He mounted and detached himself now and then from the line, rode rap idly to the head, came swiftly back to the rear and seemed to be the commander of the expedition. The explorer was satisfied from his observation that this species of ant employs a larger ant —possibly a drone of the same species, though he had no means of proving this—■ as we employ horses to ride upon, though scarcely more than one ant in each colony seems to be provided with a mount. llow Banana Trees Grim. It is a peculiar fact that but one bunch of bananas grows on a tree. After the fruit has been cut the tree is then cut down to the ground, and from the stump another tree sprouts which bears another bunch the following year. The greatest trouble of farmers Is to keep the farms clear of sprouts. They shoot up from tbs roots of the tree for a radius of ten feet and grow like weeds. As the fruit is cut from the trees it Is placed on the backs of little pack donkeys and transported in this way to the coast. One donkey can carry from three to six bunches, according to the size of the bunches and the dis tance from the coast. In the season at Baracoa there are more than 3,000 don keys that stretch along in a line for miles, plodding toward the coast with their loads of bananas. lion't Bine Alone. How many people dine alone? The restaurants all number solitary diners among their regular clientage. How many thousands of people, men or wo men, will eat a lone dinner or supper tonight in the cities and towns and hamlets ot Ghristendom? The evil of eating alone is the subject of an ear nest although cheerful warning from the London Lancet. The hygienic val ue of gregarious dining is insisted up on. The necessity of taking food in social fashion is an inherent racial sort of thing, and those who go against it for years usually have to pay for it with some of the ills of indigestion. Breakfasting alone is not bad for a busy generation, but dining alone is not a habit to be long continued, in civ ilization or out of it, without disastrous results. Shave, and Colds. It is not generally known among men that close shaving is apt. to bring on a cold. Barbers, however, are acquaint ed with this fact and It Is rather ou account of it than through any desire to bring their patrons back soon again that they do not, unless ordered io, ad minister close shoves.

That is partly the reason why science has en abled us to see it. The explanation of the paradox is this: Silence, as we understand it, sim ply means that there are sounds too delicate or too loud for the ear to regis ter. In other words, when we can’t hear anything we call that condition “silence.” But wherever ydu are there are sounds around you. Even in the deepest mine the air vibrates and makes a sound. An- instrument has been invented that will catch these sounds and permit of the vibrations be ing represented pictorially on a screen, and in that way you may see silence and properly understand what it means. By comparing the pictures of noises with those of that condition of things known as silence we gain an idea of the difference between a noisy night, for instance, and one when “absolute si lence reigns,” as the novelist puts it. It is rather surprising to find so much dis turbance at the time when everything appears to be perfectly quiet.—Pear son’s Weekly. Diplomatic. The late Lord Savile used to say, ac cording to The Candid Friend, "that high diplomatists had always to be on their guard against intriguing women, mainly Russian agents, who would use ; any wile to extract information. Dur ing the Uusso-Turkish war, when Eu rope was always on the verge of a crisis and Russian statesmen were most anxious to know what England would do under given circumstances, a lady came up to him suddenly at a ball and said: “I hear that the Russians have made a forced march and entered Constan tinople,” hoping no doubt that he would be surprised into some indiscreet ex pression. He merely replied: “Ineed! And I suppose the sultan has conferred on them the order of the Turkish Bath!” The lady continued gravely: “And they say in Paris that if Eng land does not interfere the eastern question is settled in favor of Russia.” “And that.” replied his excellency. “Is, I suppose, the new judgment of Paris.” Wood Too Hard to Barn. There are certain kinds of wood that are too hard to burn, or refuse to ignite for some other reason, such as iron wood and the good brier root, but it is a curiosity to come across a piece of common deal—the soft, light wood of which so many boxes are made—that cannot be set fire to. The piece of wood In question was common white deal from Sweden, but was remarkable for its comparative weight. It bad formed part of a boat belonging to a whaler and bad been dragged below tbe surface of the wa ter to the depth of more than half a mile by a harpooned whale. The length of line and tbe short distance from the point of descent after being struck at which the whale rose to the surface was a proof of the depth to which it had dragged the boat. Only part of tbe boat came up again at the end of tbe line, and it was taken on board when the whale bad been killed. That piece of wood was so hard that it would not burn in a gas jet. The weight of water bad com pressed It.—London Standard. Birds’ Sonus. A French writer, Henri Coupon, says that, notwithstanding the fact of their simpricity, the songs of birds cannot be imitated with musical instruments be cause of the impossibility of reproduc ing their peculiar timbre. The notes of birds, while corresponding with our musical scale, also include vibrations occupying the intervals between our notes. The duration of birds’ songs is usually very short, two or three sec onds for thrushes and chaffinches, four or five seconds for blackbirds, but from two to five minutes for tbe lark.
