Raindrops. Drops of n*.in vary in rhelr size per haps from a twenty-fifth to a quarter of an inch in diameter In parting from the clouds they precipitate their descent till the Increasing resistant* opposed by the air becomes equal to their weight, when tbey continue to fall with uniform velocity. This ve kx*ity is therefore in a certain ratio to the diameter of the drops: hence thunder and other showers in which the drops are large pour down faster than a drizzling rain. A drop of the twenty-fifth part of an inch in failing through the air would, when it bad ar rived at its uniform velocity, acqnire a celerity of only eleven and a half feet per second, while one of a quarter of n Inch would have a velocity of thir ty-three and a half feet. In Half Mourning. "1 don't understand you. Linda. One day you're bright and jolly and the next depressed and sad." "Well, I'm In half mourning; that's why."—Fliegende Blatter. Kin and King. Kings in the earliest days were mere ly the "fathers of families," and the word is derived from the same source as "kin." Every man will get his rights when every man does his duties and not be fore. How to Teil if It is Silver. To distinguish silver from white metal the Jeweler and Metalworker gives the following directions: Rub on a piece of slate, wet the streak with dilute nitric acid, by which it is dis solved, and then a drop or two of hydrochloric acid from the end of a glass rod, when a curdy white precip itate is formed which does not disap pear on the addition of a small or large quantity of water, being, in fact. Indissoluble in this, while most other metals will not be thus affected. Fulfilled. Mrs. Gnaggs—Before we were mar ried you used to Ray you could listen to my sweet voice all night.

The Tibetan penal code is curious. Murder JS punished with a tine vary ing according to the importance of the slain, thett by u fine of seven to one hundred times the" value of rhe article stolen. Here, again, the tine depends •in the social iniix>iia<nefe of the person from whom the theft has been commit ted. The bar borer of a thief is looked upon as a worse criminal than the thief himself. Ordeals by tire nud by boiling water are still used as proofs of innocence or guilt, exactly as wtt* ;he custom in Europe in the middle ages. And if the lamas never inflict death they re adepts at torture Too De'p F*r Him. A Britisher wa> announcing hi views on things In general and sum cued up his own position by the '•tare uient.

J The Eye of the Army J Oh, I clamber up high to the vault of the sky, Far above all the muck of the trenches; above the quick ire of the maxin gunfire, Far above all the reelc and th* stenches. There's a puff from below in the lines of the foe, Where a gunner is seeking to harm me, But I drop and I rise from his bombs In the skies And I still am the eye of the army! For it's my job to learn every sally and turn Of the enemy right when they make It. I'm a sentry whose care is a post high In air. And it isn't for me to forsake it. So I duck and I dip and I dodge and I skip From the aeroplane shells that would mar me. While the gunner with zest does his Sun day school best To put out tlte eye of the army. Now, there isn't much cnance for the an cient romance In tli ese days of mechanical slaughter. When we shed human blood In a horrible F.ood On the fac ■ cf tie land and the water. But I am not bound by the soldiers' dull round, for In war's mighty drama they star me, And it's still a great game full of glory and fame— To the venturesome eye of the army! —Berton Braley in New York Times. Clever Scheme. "Blink's wife seems to be quite a mt> slcian." "Yes, she is a fine pianist." "How does she keep in practice when she is away from home?" "She carries a large inuff." "What for?" "Just to keep her hand in!"— Pea** •on's Weekly. A Risky Study. ""Why have you dropped your popu lar astronomy?" asked the visitor. " 'Cause I got too many lickings," confided Tommy.
