are thus attended carry the satellites
or secondary planets with them In

Ted and the Text.
The golden text for a certain Sunday
school was. "And the child grew and
waxed strong In spirit" (Luke U, 40).
Little Ted's band went up like a
flash when the superintendent asked:
Can any of these bright, smiling lit
tle boys or girls repeat tbe golden text
for today? Ah. bow glad it makes my
heart to see so many little bands go
np! Teddy, my boy, you may repeat It,
and speak good and loud that all may
hear."
And they all beard this: "And the
child grew and waxed strong In spirit
like 2:40."

Comical Candor.
Nothing wore delightful In Its un
conscious humor can have been perpe
trated by the Hindoo than this letter,
which was submitted to tbe markets
special committee vf tbe Calcutta cor
poration. "My prayer is." says tbe writer,
"that I have a milk shop at tbe above
address. At tbls shop I sell milk adul
terated with water. I sell It In tbe con
dition I buy It from the market, and I
do not water it myself. But tbe food
Inspector, unable to stop sale of adul
terated milk In tbe market, unjustly
threatens me. 1 have therefore public
ly put up signboard stating that
adulterated milk Is sold in my shop. I
submit tbis for your honor's Informa
tion that the food Inspector may not
oppress me when 1 am not committing
an offense."
From a report by the health officer It
appears that no fewer 'than twenty
eight signboards have been put up In
the milk bazaar bearing tbe legend,
"Milk With Water Is Sold Here." or
"Milk Mixed With Water." Tbe exhibi
tion of these boards prevents the pros
ecution of the venders for selling adul
terated milk. London Chronicle.
A Postal Oddity;
One of tbe most remarkable mall
routes in tbe world is that which a
letter Journeys In getting from Beebe
Plain, Vt., to Beebe Plain. Que., says
the Boston Herald.- While tbe two of
fices are within teu feet of each other
are located In tbe same room. In fact
a letter mailed from one ofllce to tbe
other must make a trip of 294 miles,
sixty-seven miles Id Canada and tbe
rest in tbe United States.
Tbe plain, old fashioned store build
ing, which Is situated on tbe Interna
tional boundary Hue, contains both t'be
United States and Canadian offices.
There are separate entrances to each,
but both are In tbe same room, bave
the same lobby, and there are no par
titions to mark the divisions between
the domain of Uncle Sam and tbe pos
session of King Edward.
"If you mall a letter from the Ver
mont side addressed to the Quebec
side," says the postmaster, "it goes
from here to tbe Junction, then to
Newport, then to White River Junc
tion and back to Lennoxvllle."
Dress at Monte Carlo.
Tbe management of the Casino at
Monte Carlo is compelled regretfully
to read a sartorial riot act to tbe fre
quenters of the most seusational gam
bling center in the world. A certain
amount of luxuess In the matter of
dress has been apparent, and as a re
sult the tables have lost some of tbe
distinguished appearance that they
used to have. Henceforth gentlemen
will not be admitted unless they are
In full evening dress. Curiously
enough, the chief offenders are neither
Americans nor English, who are usual
ly attired Irreproachably. It Is the
Germans. French, Austrians, Hunga
rians and Russians whose carelessness
In the matter of dress has called forth
this sumptuary edict. Argonaut
The Panama Canal In War.
The strategic value of the Panama
canal is estimated to be equivalent to
a fleet of large battleships. This is
the conclusion of Dr. Cornish, given
before the Royal Geographical society
In London. Taking the cost of tbe
canal at $500,000,000, which would only
build forty first class battleships now
adays, the United States will have a
good bargain and be able to cover a
total coast line without any material
increase In her vessels. The canal will
double the sea efficiency of our fleet
for half the sum of money that would
otherwise be necessary to maintain
communication between the Pacific
and Atlantic coasts. National Maga
zine. Not From Mayo.
According to a police reporter, this
happened in a saloon In the Tender
loin at 3 o'clock Sunday morning. A
detective from police beuduuarters
dropped into a "corner Joint" to see
now tne excise la w was being observed
or violated. A drink of whiskv was
served by a waiter Just over from tbe
"ouid counthry." The waiter, think
ing that he might. make himself popu
lar, walked over to tbe customer after
he swallowed bis drink and asked:
"Ain't you from tbe County Mayo?"
"No, I ain't" replied the central of
fice man. "I'm from headquarters.

The Secret of Bronze.
It bas been supposed that tbe an
cients had some method of hardening
fcronze tools the secret of which has
been lost Professor Gowland of the
British Institute of Metals says tbat
the ancient bronzes were very impure,
so that their hardness could not bave
been due, as sometimes assumed, to
their exceptional purity. On the other
band, inasmuch as modern bronzes by
careful hammering can be mude as
bnrd as tbe ancient oues. the legend
of a lout art In bronze hardening seems
to be exploded. Youth's Companion.
