A Mountain In the Sky. Somewhere many miles away fro m this earth an enormous mountain twenty miles high is flying through space. The mountain is known astro lioiiiically as the planet Eros. The or dinary man lias long taken it for granted that all the planets are more or less round in shape. The small planet Eros, however, is an exception to this rule. According to the latest astronomical Information, it is a mere mountain in space. "withoflt form and void," and as it turns upon its axis first one corner and then another is presented to view. These small worlds (few are over ten or twenty uiiles across) are not large enough to have sufficient gravity to draw their struc ture Into symmetry anil remain as when launched into space—mammoth meteorites. A tantalizing fact for as tronomers is that Eros passed very close to us about Jan. 1!!, 1891— before the planet was recognized—and that quite so near an approach is not due again till 107.". "The Mine's Blown Up." I was sitting on the edge of my bed, loosening the heel of one of my rubber boots with the toe of the other, when suddenly through the stillness of the sleeping town, from the power house half 11 mile away, came a low and ris ing note, the great siren whistle in the power house. Almost fascinated, 1 listened as the great note rose higher and more shrill and died away again. One blast meant a fire in the town, two blasts fire In the buildings at the mine and three blasts, the most terrible of all, a disaster or trouble in the mine. Once more, after an interminable pause, the sound came again and once more rose and died away. I did not move, but there was a sudden cold ness that came over me as once more, for tin- third time, the deep note broke out on the quiet air. Almost install taneously the loud jingle of my tele phone brought me to my feet. I took down the receiver. "The mine's blown up," said a woman's voice.—Atlantic. Saying No. The author of "Pat McCarty," a book of verse with a setting of prose, shows how naturally some of the Irishmen of Antrim dilute the wine of narrative with the water of verbiage. In the ex cerpt below—"The Way We Tell a Story"—the diluent is used with a par ticularly free hand; Says I in him, I says, says I. Says I to htm, I says. The thing, siiys I, I says to him, la Just, gays I. tills ways.

The spectacled hear of Ecuador is so called because of a patch of white around each eye, which makes the animal look as though he was peering through a pair of great spectacles. In size and general color the spec taeled bear looks not unlike the Anieri can black bear. Hut its hair Is very shaggy. At each side of the head is a white bar, which gives the animal,the appearance of wearing a halter. Hut the most distinctive feature is the white uround the eyes. Attachment. The schoolteacher was trying to il lustrate the lUllerence between plants and animals. "Plants," she explained, "are not sus ceptible of attachment to iiian as ani mals are."

Pirates and Strategy. The virtuous island of Sark was not always so. When Edward 111. was king, Sark was a haunt of pirates and wreckers. Sir A. Conan Doyle in "Sir Nigel" tells how they lived not upon the Island, "but from what they can gather upon the sea around it. They are broken folk from all countries justice tilers, prison breakers, reavers, escaped bondsmen, murderers and staff breakers who have made their way to this outland place and hold it against all comers." The merchants of Rye and Winchelsea fitted out an expedition against those scourges of the narrow seas. A landing was ob tained by strategy. Leave was ob tained to bury a supposititious dead sailor 011 the island, the burying party to come unarmed. Hut that apparent collin was filled with weapons, and so was Sark cleansed of its evil inhabit ants.—London Standard. A Story of Mathews. Charles Mathews one day previous to the period of his publicly proclaimed dire bankruptcy invited a friend to dine with him. The walnuts were washed down by some rare sherry. "That's a delicious wine," Lis friend exclaimed. "It must have cost you a lot of money." "It didn't cost me anything that I know of,"the flighty comedian an swered. with a shrug. "You had it given to you, then?" the friend suggested. "Oh, 110," answered Mathews; "I bought it from Bills, in Bond street." "But he will charge you something for it?" the friend exclaimed in aston ishment. "1 believe he does write something down in a book," Charles retorted gravely. "Let's have another glass, my boy." When Tea Was Dc.ir. Those who grumble at the price of tea should turn for consolation to the records of its price in early times. At Its first introduction into England, about the middle of the seventeenth century, tea fetched anything between £0 and £lO a pound, and though a fall 111 price quickly took place the East India company si ill hail to pay over £4 for the two pounds of tea which it presented the king. However, even thus It Is doubtful if the tea merchants got very fat. seeing that the Importa tion of some 1.000 pounds in 1078 was enough to the market for some years.—London Chronicle. English Injustice. An Australian tourist traveling in the west of Ireland asked an old wo man how far it was to the nearest town. She sadly looked at him, then sighed and said; "It was five nice miles two years ago, but some Knglish brute came over with chains and made it seven, and our hearts are broke walking it ever since. Bad luck to them!" And she disappeared Into the house, leaving him there.—lllustrated Bits. Cramp In the Leg. To those who suffer from cramp in the leg at night the following hint may be useful; When the cramp comes on take a good strong string a long garter will do wind it round the leg over the place that is affected and take an end In each hand and give it a sharp pull, one that will hurt a little. Instantly the craiup will de part, and the sufferer can return to bed assured It will not come on again that flight. A Mean Question. "Yes.
