The days of my India living are most-
ly one long continuous line of humorous
happenings, and many times I have (in
feelings) gone over in the corner and
laughed to see myself as my western
friends might see me. This isa queer,
queer place in which to live and were it
not for the pesky weather and mosqui-
toes, it might be a rather nice place; but
those two things are typical of india, at
least central India. 1 for one could
never truly enjoy myself where the very
sight of a pretty day makes the water
trickle from every pore in body in
anticipation of later heat, and a sing in
my ear makes my hand fly upward in a
vain attempt to slaughter the animal,
while visions of all sorts of malarial bugs
dance before my eyes.
The very first snake that has had the
pleasure of making me jump, flew across
my path yesterday; he was a long, black
beauty, out for a call on his lady love,
for nothing else could have made him
move so quickly. I also was moving
quickly, as I was angry at having to be
kept waiting for something I wanted
from the hospital. We came from paths
at right angles and I must confess for
once the lady retired and that most hur-
riedly while the gentleman, with scarce-

Tuesday morning.—There is too much
rain for comfort; not gentle rains, but
mad, torrent-like down-pours happening
all the time, either day or night, and al-
most always just when you mostly want

clothes or wanting to play tennis. The
tennis court after five minute's rain looks

of vegetation; one could scarcely imag-

wear clothes with comfort and it surely
makes you truly desire to accomplish
things when so nice and cool, and that is
unusual in India.

China and the Telegraph.
China wus confronted with a stiff
problem at the introduction of the tele-
graph. It was hopeless to think of
combining the western Morse dots and
dashes in sufficient variety to express '

a fairly literate Chinese. not to speak |
of the entire 40.000 or so known to the |
highly educated men of that race. Aj

fact that the same Chinese monosylla- |
ble means different things. according |
to the context or intonation and also |
by the diversity of dialects. A Dane,
Professor Schellerup. found the solu- |
tion, The 7.000 characters most com- |
monly used are given their equivalents
in a code of numerals and these nu-

me for an hour with quaint and com-

each fresh anecdote his reedy laugh

life had been one long comedy. “Did
you never have any troubles?" I asked.

Stars and Stripes In the Flag.
The flag of thirteen stars and thir
teen stripes was adopted by congress
on June 14. 1777. The stars were at
first arranged in a circle. but a few
years later were placed in rows. After
the admission of Vermont and Ken-
tucky to the Union the number of
stars and stripes was increased to fif-
teen each on May 1. 1795. the law to
that effect heing signed by President
Washington Jan. 13. 1794. The flag re-
mained in that form through our wars
with France. with Tripoli and with
England. on the first voyage of an
American warship around Cape Horn
and the Cape of Good Hepe and in the
writing of Key's “Star Spangled Ban- |
ner.” On April 4, 1818, President Mon- |
roe signed the present flag law, and
on July 4. 1818, the national ensign
was made to consist. as at present. of
thirteen stripes and of a number of
stars equal to the number of states.—
New York Tribune.
Tanbark as a Fuel. |
Perhaps the most important of waste
fuels in the United States has been
spent tanbark. A rough estimate would
indicate that this material generated
a few years ago an amount of steam
that would have otherwise required
the yearly consumption of about 2,000,
000 tons of high grade coal. Yet this
valuable fuel was at one time consid-
ered a mere detriment and an expense
to the leather industry. It was dis-
posed of by dumping it into rivers, fill
ing in waste ground and by making
roads with it, often necessitating the
paying out of large sums for its dispo-
sition. This strikingly Ilillustrates a
case of how the improvement of a fur
nace converted a hitherto supposed
combustible into a valuable waste fuel,
of the autocombustible class and
shows how an enormous waste was
converted into an equally great econ-,
omy.—Engineering Magazine.

Fooling the Fox. i
The expression “as cunning as a fox”
has passed into the language: but. as;
is the case with most extra cute gen-
tlemen. there are ogcasions when Mas-
ter Reynard overreaches himself. Any
visitor to the country who has ever,
examined a chicken house in the wid-|
dle of a field has probably noticed two
or three short pieces of chain hanging
over the hole by which the fowls en-

to the birds. who push their way in|

the house. The latter in his superior]
wisdom takes them to be a trap for his
eapture, and although he may sit out-
side hungrily “licking his chops” noth-|
ing will induce him to put his head
through the chains. Truly a case of
a little learning being a dangerous
thing.— Pearson's Weekly.
Caesaria, or New Jersey.
What is now the state of New Jer-
sey was part of the territory claimed
by the Dutch under ihe name of New
Netherlands, Before the English seiz-
ed the country something had been
done to settle this part. although it
had not developed as might have been
expected in the fifty years of Dutch
occupancy. The Duke of York, as pro-
prietor of the territory newly acquired.
ceded in 1664 this southern portion ly-
ing between the Delaware river and
the sea to Lord John Berkeley and Sir
Carteret. The new province

Caring For His Health,
Not muny people guard their health
so carefully as Sir Tatton Sykes. who
in winter wore five or six coats when
out riding und shed some of them as
he became warmer. Prince Poutiakine,
however, took even stronger precau-
tions uguinst illness. If there was a
touch of cold in the air he had fires lit
in his grounds before .venturing to
stroll in them. His waistcoats were
made in two separate pieces, joined at
the sides by buttons, so that he could
take them off or put on additional ones
without removing his coat. If caught
in a shower he sheltered himself with
an umbrella nearly two feet wide,
which came down below his waist and
was pierced with little windows. In
very hot weather the prince wore boots
coated with tin as a protection against
mad dogs, and carried sponges soaked
with vinegar in his shirt front to ward
off unpleasant smells. — Manchester
Guardian,
Moon Blunders,
The moon. it seems, is responsible
for more authors’ “howlers” even than
nightingales. Buroness Orezy in “Pet-
ticoat Government” draws a beautiful
picture of a crescent moon rising over
the treetops in the far eastern sky at
11 o'clock on a June evening. The pie-
ture is so nice that it is a pity to de-
stroy it. but the invention is prepos-
terous. Lucas Malet errs in a similar
fashion in one of her novels. Miss
Stevens in “The Veil" speaks of the
new moon being seen at sunset pray-
er, “a thin slip in the east.” A little
study would show that when the moon
rises at sunset it must necessarily be
a full moon or nearly so. In the same
book the i'ull moon rises and sets again
within a period of two hours. whereas
the full moon is. of necessity, an all
night moon.—Book News Monthly.
Little Economies.
A postage stamp will purchase you
the use of a dollar for 122 days. Three
stamps equal the interest on a dollar
for one whole year. Little economies
rarely enter into the calculations of the
average man or woman — those who
earn from $500 to $5.000 a year,
Men who smoke cigars easily con-
sume three a day. costing not under 30
cents—enough to pay for the use of
$1.825 for that day! If that $1.825 were
put to work in an intelligent way it
might help win bread for the rest of
the family.

son from Big Business in trivial econo-
