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 Spectacled Bear.
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."
"How about burs, teacher?" piped a
small Imy who had passed the sum

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.
