Doubtless there were many puzzled readers when a deep sea skipper rolled into tills harbor a few days ago and reported that his ship had been be lated by a gale which had piped up to 'force 10." "Force 10," it was ex plained, meant something like a hurri cane. It is a term borrowed from the Beaufort scale, a scheme of wind measurements devised by the British admiral Beaufort before the days of ocean going steam. Force 1 was a calm, force li a light breeze, and so on nil hi the hurricane velocity. Perhaps, too, the Beaufort scale may give a clew to those who have been wonder ing for some time at t lk? title of a popular Oermaii picture. It is just one expanse of frowning cloud and storm tossed billow, and the artist has named it "winds!arke in, 11."—New York Sun. Digging For Money.

On no poiiu is l lie in 'crave siuekei so ill informed iu that of ju<! in -- , a cigar Nine times out of ten. upon being handed a cigar, lie will hold it to his : nose, uulighti'd. -■i• lIT at the wrapper i with a crlileal air and deliver bis \ < r dict in a self satisfied manner. This | characteristic maneuver is always a ; source of amusement to any tobacco I man who happens to observe it. There i i.s only one way to ascertain the qual ity of a cigar, and that is to smoke it. | No ex| crl will pass judgment on a ! cigar until ho has lighted It and smoked ii well down toward the inid- J die. The first and most important j point upon which lie bases his opinion | i.s the "burn." Tobacco may have ev- I cry other virtue, but if it does not hold I the tire and burn evenly it is poor*to- I bacco. Next in order of importance comes the aroma—the smoke must have a pleasing "smell;" next comes the flavor—the smoke must be smooth and not "scratchy" or hitter. Then there Is the color—rich brown, indicat ing a ripe leaf, well cured—and last Is workmanship—good if the wrapper is put on smoothly' and the "bunch" Is made so that the cigar "draws" freely and is neither too hard nor too spongy, bad if the reverse Bohemian Maga zine.

"I have done everything," Iloliespicrre did ask, with an air of inquiry. "Are you dead?" When Kobespicrre coughed In Ids cold harangue Oarnler did say, "The blood of Danton chokes you." Strafford did say of his own de sertion of parliament, "if I do it may my life and death lie set on a hill for all men to wonder at." Disraeli did say. "The lime will come when yon sli ill hear me." The herol'' is a fact, even when it is a fact of coincidence or of miracle, and a fact is a thing which can be ad mitted without being explained.—Cl. K. C'liosterton in London News. No Drums In the Middle Ages. As we come to the middle ages, when the nations of modern Kurope were struggling into existence, we find that at first tlie drum was not used at all. So, although melody had been known and practiced for many cen turies. rhythm had been quite forgot ten. for what there is left to us of the music of the middle ages contains no bars, and we know that it was slowly and monotonously c-hanted. without the least accent. In the eleventh century, however, tilings began to improve, more partic ularly as the crusaders brought into Europe all sorts of percussion instru ments from the east. Various kinds of drums, tambourines and cymbals were then seen in Kurope for the first time since tlie days of savages, and they have been used, with very little change, ever since.—St. Nicholas. An Epistolary Hint. In the letter from Uostoii was a special delivery stamp. "What did she send that for?" the woman wondered. "The information she wants can be seut in an ordinary letter. It won't need to be sent spe cial." "That stamp," said the man, "is a delicate hint to Dc quick about answer ing. It is a hurry up device used by many men. It is very effective. A two cent stamp does not always spur one onto any special effort, but a spe cial delivery stamp means that the writer wants what he wants when lie wants it, and the most dilatory cor respondent alive is not going to let any grass grow between the scratches of his pen when answering."—New York I'ress. Mantle Rays. "There are X rays and X rays, and there are also rays from those mantle tilings that you put on gas burners to improve the light." The speaker, a photographer, pointed to a batch of fogged plates. "1 know to my cost that there are mantle rays," said he. "For a month 1 stored new plates in a closet along wit 1 i a mantle, and all of them got fogged. The mantle, you see, contained thorium, a radio-active substance that penetrates a cardboard plate box as easily as it penetrates glass. I didn't know that till my doc tor told me so last week.
