"Take a root of ginger at the time of

"When you meet your rival, look

A Gale by Another Name.
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.

The 11. W. looked up.
"Money," he replied.
"Money?" ejaculated the amazed
S. W. "And when do you expect to
strike it?"
"Saturday," replied the 11. W. and
resumed operations.

JUDGING A CIGAR.
The Only Rerl W: y to Firr! I!- Quality
I". to Smokt It.
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

ROMANCE OF HISTORY.
These Thinr j Like Legends, but
Arc Mstters of Fact.
A |c-. lit ; ill called half wilted did
protni e to defeat the victors of Agin-
CiU'.ii and did it; it ought to be a
legei d. lilt it iia'pens to lie a fact
A P< I aril a poetess did fall in love
and eloped secretly to a sunny clime;
it is obviously a three volume novel,
but i! happened. Nelson did die in the
act- of winning the one battle that
could change the world; it is a gross
ly improbable coincidence, but it is too
late lo alter ii now. Napoleon did win
the battle • 112 Austcrlit/.; it is unnatu
ral, but it is not my fault. When the
general who had surrendered a repub
lican town returned, saying easily. "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. My igno
rance cost me over a hundred plates."
