Olden Time Ladies Who Took tha Gal leries by Storm. The English house of lords has never been particularly kind to its fair vis itors. Long ago, in the days when duchesses sold their kisses for votes, the house of lords forbude them to en ter, and a battle royal ensued between the ladies und the peers. The lord chancellor had sworn that he would not let them In, and the Duchess of Quecnsberry had sworn that ladles should come in. "This be ing reported." we read in an old diary, "the peers resolved to starve them out An order was made that the doors should not be opened till they had raised their siege." These amazons now showed them selves qualified for the duty even of foot soldiers. They stood there till 5 in the afternoon without either sus tenance or Intermission, every now and then playing volleys of thumps, kicks and raps against the door with so much violence that the speakers in the house were scarcely hoard. At lust by strategy worthy of a gen eral the Indies "nil rushed in and placed themselves in the front row of the gallery." where they remained till an hour before midnight, applauding or hissing to their hearts' content Lon don Saturday Review.

ALL GROCER " A PLEA FOB DANGER. This Writer Argues That Too Much Sefety May Breed Weakling. In these days of the placarding of "safety first" and the juxtaposition of "safe and sane." is a voice necessarily that of a madman if it be heard in the land singing the praises of danger and risk? With all our laws and move ments and committees for the elimina tion from our dally life of all chances unfavorable to life, limb, health and property are we in no danger, of saving the body at the expense of the spirit? Too great security breeds weaklings, and too nervous a regard for physical safety Is not only craven but ultimate ly unwise. Our nation. If It Is to be great and free, must Bet blgb value on the courage, resourcefulness and blgb spirit of the Individual citizen. Now, courage is nourished on dangers coped with, and the prudent soul that always "plays safe" cannot be called high or noble. Our evolution up to this point has always been conditioned by the need of self preservation in the face of Innumerable enveloping dangers. Tbe creature that hesitated to take chances or always avoided threatened Injury soon ceased to exist either as species or individual ence our bodies, our minds, our very spirits have been evolved, in part at least, to fulfill this function of cop ing with some kind of danger. For what purpose our eyes, our ears, our nerves, our muscles, our sense of right and wrong? A removal, then, from our environment of this element of danger tends to bo followed by de generacy and atrophy in all parts of our natures. Indeed, in modern life we are prone to become stall fed In body and spirit This we tacitly con fess in our passion for sport, which is essentially mimic hunting or war and for the vicarious adventure of roman tic fiction.

IIIHHMIII IIIIIIMtMl I They Surpass the Product of Italy's Famous Quarries. The greatest marble producing Indus try In the world is no longer to be found In the famous Carrara-district of Italy, but in Vermont where one of tbe richest veius in the world stretches in an Irregular Hue across the state. So great is the production of marble in this section that tbe Inhabitants have lost much of their appreciation of its value and use it for such bumble and utilitarian purposes as paving, un derpinnlng for barns, bitching posts, stepping stones and drinking troughs for horses. This vein is about fifty seven miles long, from 1,000 to 2,200 feet In width and runs from 375 to 800 feet in depth, and from It is being taken In enormous quantities white marble tb:it is equal to tbe finest Ital ian marble as well as an endless va riety of blue, yellow, greeD and Jet black marbles. For quarrying and finishing tbe mar ble tbe most up to date methods and equipment are used, no part of the work being done by band that can possibly be done by machinery. Eland methods of drilling, still in vogue In Italy, bove been entirely superseded by power driven drills and channeling machines. The blocks as they come from the quarry are handled by der ricks and are convey?d in most cases by an Inclined railway or a ropeway to the mills, where they are sawed and shaped by power driven machines, only the last delicate stage of polishing being doue by bund.

This milk is made of the sojn bean. The bean is first soaked, then boiled in water. After the liquid turns white sugar and phosphate of potash are added, and the boiling Is kept up till a substance of the thickness of molasses Is obtained. Nobody could tell this bean milk from condensed mill;, and when watct Is added It can't be told from tbe fresh. Tbe Japanese poor use nothing else." Putting It Gently.

These three parts of the defense are of equal size in locating an enemy dust clouds are often excellent Indications A low. thick cloud Indicates Infantry, a high aud thin cloud Indicates cavalry, while a broken cloud Indicates artillery or wagon trains An experienced scout can closely estimate the character and strength of an enemy solely by the dust cloud.

The nebular hypothesis is that tbe stars were formed by the cooling and cohering of the gaseouiebulue. These "filmy veils of luminous gus," which are visible to the nuked eye in the MllUy way, are supposed to be star stuff. Many of these clouds have in their centers tiny spots of bright light, the supposed beginnings of new stars and suns. in l'JIO astronomers at Uck observ atory discovered that the older u star becomes the faster It travels through space. Then the question arose. Can nebulae be stars In formation when their spec J is even greater than the oldest stars? The astronomers began to doubt the old theory. Some years of bard work at Mount Hamilton and at the L'nlver sity observatory in Chile were requir ed. Now the velocities ot forty uebu Ine are accurately known. The Incred Ible speed of these nebulae suggests that they are older, not younger, than the stars. It Is possible that they are disintegrated stars and not stars in tb making ut all. The director of the Lick observatory says: "The effect upon our ideas or the connection existing between planets ry nebulae and the stars is revolution ary." Apparently the stars have been evolved rrom planetary nebulae. "What, then, ure the nebulae if tbey are not star stuff? That Is what the as tronomers ut Lick hove set themselves to determine." Exchange. Unique Engineering Foat. When railroad building was under taken in Alaska following tbe dlscov ery of gold a unique engineering feat was performed. At a point eighty miles out of Skagway the survey bad been made for tbe road along the shore of a lake, but It was found to be so Irregular and broken by so many coves that the plan was adopted of getting a better line by lowering the level of the lake. This was done by cutting nn outlet channel, through which fourteen feet of the lake drulned off. lint pres ently the new channel, having been cut through a. sandy hill, gave way, and the escaping lake water wore an enor mous canyon through the country and reduced the lake level again over sev enty feet. A fine, level rondbed was secured over what was formerly the bed of the lake. Argonaut When Knights Were Bold. When knights were clad In complete armor from top to toe it was essential that tbey should bear some sign by which their followers could distinguish l hem In buttle, and this was the func tion of their armorial bearings Knights who omitted to wear their own arms ran considerable risk, and It is related that at the battle or Han nockburn the last ot the De Clures owed bis death to his omission to wear I his bearings.

"The fact Is she Is so very musical that we cannot Induce her to practice either her singing or her piano lessons, the amateur quality of the work grates so on her sensitive nerves." Judge.
