FaoM Black atl t A RAZOR PROOF SNAIL It Strolled the Entire Length of the Blade's Keen Edge. "When photographing a snail," writes Professor Ward lu the London Strand Magazine. "I was surprised at the fact that even the rough cut edjre of a sheet of glass presented no dllll cultlos to its locomotiou. its even pace was continued In spite of the fact that the sharp corner appeared to be pene trating Its body. There we have ex hibited the animal's delicate sense of touch, and this led me to make a fur ther experiment , "After I had placed the snail on the butt of a razor's blade It slowly moved along the buck of the blade and then climbed completely over the sharp edK, the raaur being In excellent con dition. As the successive - waves brought the tore part of Its foot near the edge of the blnde its head was held low dowa. and toe lower and shorter pair of feelers neany touched the blade, ns If feeling the way. "At the moment wheu the sharp edge was reached tbo small feelers were fully extended toward It and Just at the very instant when I expected tff see them cut off they were both In stantly retracted. They were little mure than a hairbreadth away, and. though Hie lower feelers possess no eyes.- yetby their sudden movement I was unite convinced that the snail ut that iosta nt recognized danger, "Still the foot traveled on, and slowly the xtiiill di'.-frjvd Its whole Weight of exactly one and a half ounces over the cd;p. J.:tcv lr.ovin? toward the butt and reiij-l-.iiiig erfectly unharmed The ope-lc- experimented with wo the Roman or edible kind, which ac counts for Its comparatively larpe ..tight, It being the largest of Rrltlsli snails." Gcrrr.an Court Balls. In the ;.Tinaii court balls not nil those who nre Invited are permitted t" take part In the dances which the em peror witnesses. The emperor h.,H no love for "(he quick and slovenly." Many months before the ball the e lecled couples rehearse the dances un der the direction of Miss Gnsperinl. mis tress of the court ballet. The empress criticises freely the Indies and gentle men who show any short coinings. The ordinary rehearsals take place In one of the chambers of the palace, but the final rehearsal Is held on the eve of the bnll at the residence of one of the In vited. The WUener Memorial. Peter A. R. Widener of Phl'.'.delphla lost bis con and grandson in the Ti tanic disaster. An a memorial to them he Is adding $1,000,000 to the first en dowment of $3,000,000 for the Wldenor Home For Crippled Children. Safely Invested and economically administer ed, the Income on this additional sum should offer support, care and surgical attention for, more than 300 helpless child victims of accident or of heredity not for one year or ten years, bnt for nil time or o long as Invested capital pays Interest Tha Law. Of all the parts of a law, the most effectual is the vindicatory, for It Is but lost labor to say, "Do this or avoid that." unless we also declare. "This shall be the consequence of your non compliance." The main strength and force of a law consist In the penalty nnexod to It. Rlackstone. 8ounded All Right, Patience Well, he told the truth, anywuy. Patrice How so? Patience When he was buying the solitaire be told the jeweler It was for a sister. Patrice Well. I'm sure that wasn't true. Patience Why, yes; when be of fered it to the girl she promised to be a sister to him. Yonkers Statesman. Eager to Please. "I want you to see if you can't find out tbat I am descended from a king," said the man who had become sudden ly rich. "Very well, sir." replied the genealo gist. "We have n large stock of kings to select from. Have you any prefer ence?" Chicago Record-Herald. A Popular Girl. "Yes; she has promised to be mine some day." "But when?" "She enn't exactly say as yet Seems she will first have to break off four or five other engagements." Washington Herald. His Status at Home. "Your father seems to be an Impor tant member of the community." "Guess you've only seen him outside of borne. Ma doesn't think he's such a much." Detroit Free Press. Famous Pens. The collecting of pens that have beea owned by or associated with famous personages Is a hobby that has attract ed some collectors, though the purrult Is an expensive one. A well worn gold pen used by Charles Dickens brought $200 at a sule of his effects, A ieo made cut of wood from a box owned by George Washington, the box having been made from a desk brought to America by the Mayflower, Is valued at $2,500.-Exchange. FOR THE CHILDREN A Difference. When I so 'erou the street to play And mother says that I may stay . On hour at Dorothy's, oh. my, . The way that one short hour does flyl We Just about set settled down To make our dolls a bat or gown Or Jump the rope or make mud pies ' When, to our very crest surprise, The clock at Dorothy's will say. "The hour Is up, so no more playl" Juat how It can be I don't know, ' But that old clock can hurry sol I When mother says, "It's practice time," And I roust waan my bands and climb On that ptano stool, dear me. That hour's aa different aa can bel The outdoors looks so fresh and say. And Dorothy has gone to play. The boy next door has made a swing And awing! aa high as anything. And down the street the organ man la Blinding all the tunes he can And here I have to drum away One whole Ions hour this lovely day! I don't see how one hour can be Aa long as that one seems to ma Youth's Companion. Alphabet of Proverbs. A grain of prudence Is worth a pound tf graft Boasters are cousins of liars. Denying a fault doubles It Envy shoots at others and wounds herself. Foolish fear doubles danger, God teaches us good things by our own hands. He has hard work who has nothing to do. It costs more to revenge wrongs than to suffer them. v Knavery Is the worst trade. Learning makes a man tit company for himself. Modesty Is a guard to virtue. Not to hear conscience is the way to silence It One hour today Is worth two tomor row. Proud looks make foul work In fair faces. Quiet conscience is quiet sleep. Richest Is lie that wants least. Small faults indulged in are little thieves that -let In great ones. The honulix t tin r henr most hang low est. UpiUrhl alklni! Is hiiip walking.

After two captains have been chosen they proceed to select their parties. (.liDus!::;,- alien. ,iiei till the company Is equally divided They seat themselves lu two rows facing each other. Oue of the captains begins the game by throwing a-$uill or knotted baudker chief to one of the players on the op- poslte side, crying aloud at the same time either "earth," "air," "fire" or "water." He usually tries to throw It to oue who Is apparently least expect Ing it If "air" Is the word called the person In whose lap or nearest whom the missile falls must promptly name some bird; if "water," a fish or some denizen of the water; If "earth," an animal before the thrower counts ten but at the word "fire" no reply must be made. If tbe player answers correctly he then throws the ball or handkerchief in bis turn to one of bis opponents, but if be falls to answer in time or replies Incorrectly or speaks when It is not his place to answer be drops out of the game. This rule Is strict for thus Is the winnlnjr side determined, the game going on till all on one sde have bad to retire from the contest A Wren's 8nging Lesson. A wren whose nest was In a box near a country bouse was watched by the family as she patiently instructed her little ones, says the Philadelphia Ledger. Placing herself on one side of the opening nod in front of her pu pihvsbe first sang her entire soug very distinctly. One little flatterer opened Its moutb and tried to follow ber, but after a few notes Its voice gave out and It lost the tune. Mamma Wren Immediately took up the melody at tbut point and snug It through us clearly as possible, when the youngster tried It again and finished triumphantly. t Then the mother sang again, and an other nestling followed her, breaking down as tbe first bad done and begin ning afresh. Sometimes there were three or four failures before the rune was carried through, but tbe wren al ways begau where tbe little oue broke down and sang to the end These sing lng lessons lasted for some time, and several of tbem were glveu every day Conundrums. Why do some congressmen wear Ions beards) Beeauae their wives buy then neckties. Why are chemists so clever at an swcrlng? Because they use s retort. Is It unheslthftil for doc to sleep In Its owner's bedroom? Doks sre tough animals. He may get used to it. Why are some Englishmen' so verj straight? Probably because tliey are descendants of great rulers Why are some men called "seashorr men?" They sre young peers piers They have sandy complexions wav hair and shmh1 oeeni s of money. WS3k.
