rnaltlnn of Woiid and 14a Durability.
The problem lias trnublotl mnny why
two pieces of wood sawed from the
innic section of a tree should possess
very varied characteristics wbeu used
in different positions, l'or example, a
pnto post will bo fonnil to decay much
faster If the butt end of the tree Is
uppermost than would be the enso If
the top were placed In this position.
The reason Is that the moisture of the
atmosphere will permeate the pores of
the wood much more rapidly the way
the tree grew than it would if in the
opposite direction.
Microscopical examination proves that
the pores invite the ascent of moisture,
while they repel its descent. Take the
familiar case of a wooden bucket.
Many mny have noticed that some of
the staves appear to be entirely sat
urated, while others are apparently
quite dry. This arises from the sauio
cause the dry staves are in the posi
tion in which the tree grew, while the
saturated ones are reversed.
A nemlnflscence of Fannr Kemble.
Fanny Kemble Is remembered by old
residents of (lennnntown and riilladel
phla as a superb horsewoman. Bhe had
a fiery temper, which matched that of
her husband, Hcreo Hutler, and Bpeed
lly brought about one of the most noted
divorce trials reported In the law books.
In her youth she wns remarkably beau
tiful, and In the role of Juliet she was
the personification of dazzling loveli
ness. She was noted for her keenness
of wit even in the days of her old age.
Once when an impertinent street loun
ger stepped up to her while sho was
looking in the window of a bric-a-brac
store nnd said, "Are you fond of an
tiquities?" Mrs. Kemblo quickly un
pinned her veil and, turning on the
man her aged faro (she was theu seventy-three),
asked, "Are you?"

no ono will ever make him a gentle

to hold his own, and he punished the

on I'tolemy, almanacs, as we under

of Alexandria, but the dates of festi
vals and other'evente of national inter

A primitive Kiigllsh calendar or al
manac was c;tllcd the "piimc-staff."
"rein-stock" or 'clog almanac." It was
made of wood, bone or horn, about
eight Inches long, like a square ruler.
On this the days were marked by a
scries of notches, every seventh being
of larger size. The festivals were Indi
cated by symbols, ns were the golden

Specimens of this "clog nlmnnnc" may
be seen nt the British museum and In

size were hung "at one end of tho man-tie-tree
of their chimneys" for general
use, and smaller ones were carried in

A Cannr Scot.
A canny Scot lived In a small settle
ment some miles from tho neighboring
town. The distance, however, could
be considerably lessened by cutting
through a large estate. This practice
was accordingly so much resorted to
that the owner gave peremptory orders
for all trespassers to be turned around
and sent back the way they camo.
One time, however, tho Scot In ques
tion, having occasion to toko some arti
cles to town In a wheelbarrow, decided
to' run the risk and was about half
way through when hp saw the owner
in the distance. Not relishing tho idea
of retracing his steps, he bethought
himself of n scheme, and, promptly
turning the wheelbarrow to faco the
direction from which he came, bo sat
down upon it ns If resting.
Soon the owner camo up and, seeing
him there, roughly ordered him to turn
around and go buck.
As "back" was In this case bis ob

on bis way rejoicing.

The Intelligent compositor, ono of tho

to set up the word "doughnut." lie

"Seo here," said tho novelist, "don't
you know how to spell 'doughnut?'
You've misspelled It here."
The Intelligent compositor camo over
and gazed at the proof and scratched
bis head in perplexity.
"Well." ho admitted, "that doesn't

PHIL" MAY'U l3iRGAIN. "
Aa Bvperlenre tha Artl.t Had With
a Hotlns; Conjnre.
An amusing story Is told of the artist
Phil Mny and an English conjurer at
fair at Klrotford on-Avon. Phil was In
the crowd which had gathered to wntcb
a very clever gentleman who was wrap
ping up sovereigns and half crowns In
pieces of paper and selling them for 2
shillings. The "sharp" had a beautiful
face such a face as Phil May loved to
draw. So he sketched him furtively.
But the gentleman saw him and mado
speech forthwith.
"If that there celebrlted porttit palnt
(r with the tight breeches on will 'and
up the plfter, the equally celebrlted
benefactor to 'oomanlty wot Is glvln'
away quids for coppers will reward 'im
accordingly." be shouted.
Phil, Willi a twinkle In bis eye, hnnd
ed up the drawing. The conjurer was
delighted with tho sketch and pinned it
to the tailboard of his cart. With an
other preliminary speech, ho threw
three sovereigns, three half sovereigns
and several half crowns Into a piece of
paper, screwed it up nnd handed It to
the artist. "You'll be president of tho
blootnln' H'ynl academy some dye,
young man," said he. "Here, catch!"
"A bin-gain's a bargain." said Phil,
walking off with the packet of gold and
silver.
He confessed afterward when he
opened the packet nnd found two pen
nies nnd a halfpenny in it that it was
the most entertaining commission be
hail ever been paid for.
Men Who "Wer Literature.
Balzac nnd Hugo were the Inst of
th grent men whoso Inspiration was
unceasing anil who did not make liter
ature, but who were literature. Bal
sa c wrote a great story nt a sitting
a sitting that lasted for eighteen
hours. All that while he wrote, for
in secretary could keep pace wltb
him, and all that while he lived on
black coffee. Then he slept for thirty
hours. Hugo wrote "Hernnnl" In a
month, and we can think of Bnlzac and
Hugo as wo think of the great Vene
tian living In the glory and exultation
of constant creation. Veronese must
hove Improvised "The Marriage Feast
at Cana" with extraordinary ease, nnd
I like to think he painted tho Immortal
fiddler In n morning and went out In
his gondola In the afternoon thinking
he had done a fair day's work. That

On one occasion Bitinchl, the noted
teacher, went on the stage to see Brl
gnoll, the famous singer, whom be
found pacing up and down like a mad
man, humming over his pnrt.
"Why, Brig, what Is the matter with
you? Are you nervous?" he asked.
"Yes, I am nervous," wns tho reply as
he walked harder and faster than over.
"But, Brig, you ought not to be nerv
ous. I've heard you sing the pnrt 200
times. I heard you sing it thirty years
ago."
"Thirty yenrs ngo! Who are you that
should know so much?"
"Who nm I? You know who I am,
and 1 know who you nre."
"Very well; you know what I am,
but I am sure you do not know what
you are, and If you wish I will tell
you. You are a fool!"
A IIokub Hear' Ham.
Sir Hlchard Owen, the eminent anat

friend and neighbor, I.onW John Hus
sell, sent him a specimen for this pur
pose, nnd the professor quickly pro
nounced It the thigh Itono of a pig.
This explanation of the query was sub
sequently offered by Lord John: "Pres
ident Buchnnnu had sent from Amer
ica to the English statesman the pres
ent of 'ii choice benr's ham, and the
family had breakfasted off It several
times with much enjoyment. Some
how or other, however, suspicion was
aroused, and the bono was sent to their

a spot ever warm In the loving mem

One of these, a man who bad lived
there all his life, was enabled by some
uplift of fortuno to visit Paris. When
he came back his townsmen gravely
gathered about him.
"Noo," said one, while tho others lis
tened, "tell us nboot It"
"Paris," be began, "a' things consid

The Krndlte Prisoner.
"The charge ng'lti ye," the police Jus
tice said, "is burglary. What have ye
got to say?"
"As to that," replied the prisoner, a
seedy looking man who appeared to
have seen better days, "If by the term
of burglary' you mean the offense
which, ai-cortllng to English law and
practice for centuries, bus been clenrly
dell ned as 'house breaking by lilght'
the charge Is palpably ridiculous. The
policeman alleges that he detected me

oil the other I m ml. the term is tnucle to
cover the same offense when committed

To lie Healthy Ue Practical.
Theoretically, every adult person of
any Intelligence wishes to be strong
and healthy. Practically, a majority of
them wish nothing of tho sort They
would like to be well enough, but are
not willing to pay the price, though It
really costs nothing. When a man gets
out or health ho usually wants to get
something to "patch hi in up" so Unit
he can continue the foolish things
which have caused his bad condition;
hence the almost universal resort to
drug treatment instead of the natural
mentis of restoring and maintaining
health and strength. If a man Is really
desirous of being naturally sound nnd
healthy he will try to study out the
means of becoming so. These means
nre all Included In the seven founda
tion principles of practical hygiene
namely, exercise, rest, nlr. light, food,
drink nnd Im thing. Cooking Club.
When You lliur Cheese.
When you buy cheese bear In mind
that nil good cheese will be mellow to
the touch, yet firm. The rind will be of
an even tint, elastic anil free from puffs,
and a sample will reveal a linn, close,
buttery grill n of n nutty flavor. Cheese
which feels so hard that you cannot
dent It with your linger tips on the rind
Is either sour, salted too heavily, skim
med or cooked too much. On tho other
hand. If the rind breaks upon pressure
or does not spring back readily when
the finger Is withdrawn this Indicates
an oversoft article, caused by the slack
cooling of the curd or a want of acid.
At best It will have an Insipid flavor
nnd will "go off" as It ages.

hard smoker. He once told this story
to Illustrate his love of the weed:
"The value of n good cigar Is best
understood when It Is the Inst you pos
sess and there Is no chance of getting
another. At Kocnlggrnctit I had only
one cigar left In my pocket, which I
carefully guarded during the battle as
a miser guards his treasure. I did not
feel Justified In using It. I painted In
glowing colors In my mind the happy
hour when 1 should enjoy It after the
victory, hut I hnd miscalculated my
chiinccs. A poor dragoon lay helpless,
with both arms crushed, murmuring
for something to refresh him. I felt In
my pockets and found only gold, which
would not be of the least use to blin.
But stay! 1 hnd still my treasured
cigar, flighted It for him nnd placed
It between his teeth. You should have
seen tho poor fellow's grateful smile. I
never enjoyed a ctgnr no much as that
one which I did not smoke."

Condiment and Digestion.
People with weak digestions will si
wnys be found to be fond of condi
ments, as the tendency of these things
In to stimulate the glands of the stom
ach and cause them to produce a larger
supply of digestive Juices. Tepper,
mustard and other like spices stir up
the liver and are useful to people who
from necessity or other causes lead
sedentary lives. Vinegar dissolves the
cellulose In raw vegetables, and that Is
why It tastes so well with cabbages
and salads, for there is no better Judge
than the palate of what is good for the
stomach. The oil Is added because It
protects the stomach from the biting
acid.
The Thumb.
Thumbs bare been appreciated ever
since the world began. The ancients
used to call the thumb the other baud.
Barbarous kings used to swear and
make compacts by their thumbs. In
Home It was a sign or ravor to wring
and kiss the thumb and of disfavor
or disgrace to lift It up or turn It out
ward. A man who wns hurt In his
thumbs wns excused from nerving In
the Itoiuon wars. Some of the scoun
drelly citizens used to cut off their
thumbs so as to remain at home and
get rich. Teachers used to punish their
pupils by biting their thumbs.
