Puzzled the Packer.
Tln first organized work of women
in a relief corps whs led by Florence
Nightingale lo the Crimean war of

that service at the time that It culled
out some curious comment. Writing
of "Chinese" Gordon. Dr. Butler tellx
in his book. "Ten Great ai.d Good
Men." how the boys at Cambridge met
the call upon them for hospital stores.
One day a letter cume suddenly from
the war office telling us that any warm
clothes' for the luvnlids at Scutari
would be prized by Miss Florence
Nightingale. At once in every college
a committee was extemporized of lead
ing undergraduates, charged to colled
presents of Annuel jackets, trousers,
"blazers," rugs, greatcoats, furs, eveu
sealskins.
In a few hours box after bos was
filled with these treasures, and all the
boxes were kindly and gratuitously
packed for us by the leading upholster
er of the town, bis foreman simply re
marking to me in a tone which General
Gordon would have enjoyed:
A nice consignment for a lady, sir."
Causa of Twilight.
Twilight Is a phenomenon Caused by
atmospheric refraction. When the sun
gets below the horizon we are not im
mediately plunged into the dnrkness of
night. Although the sun is below our
horizon, rays of solar light are bent or
refrncted by theTerrestrlal atmosphere
nnd continue to furnish some slizht
Illumination. The process continues
with diminishing Intensity until the
sun Is so far, below the horizon that
the refracting power of the atmos
phere is no longer able to bend the
rays enough to produce a visible ef
fect The time after sunset that the
sun reaches such a position varies with
the latitude of the place. There is less
twilight at the tropic zone than at the
temperate or frigid zone. This is due
to less time taken by the sun's rays to
pass through the atmosphere, at the
tropic zone the sun's rays being per
pendicular and at the temperate and
frigid zones oblique. New York Amer

' With a Grain of Salt.
The earliest record of the Baying
with a grain of saltv dates back to the
year C3 B. C. when the great Pompey
entered the palace of Mithrldates and
discovered among his private papers
the description of an antidote against
poisons of nil sorts. . which was com
posed of pounded herbs. These, ac
cording to the recipe, were to be taken
with a grain of salt. Whether this
was meant seriously or as a warning
sarcasm Is not ktiowu. but thenceforth
It became the custom to say that
doubtful .preparations should be taken
with a grain of salt. From this the
meaning got transferred to sayings of
doubtful truth.' "Atti salt" was a
Greek synonym for wit or penetration.
ana the Latin word "sal" bad some
what of the same meaning. It Is thus
easy to see how the saying "cum
grano satis" could have come to mean
the necessity of accepting doubtful or
suspicious statements "with a grain of
salt"
Molokai and the Leptra.
The general idea of the leper settle
ment on the island of Molokai la
wrong, says a writer In Harpers
Weekly. Instead of the entire island
being used for the leper colony the fle.t
tlonient comprises only eight square
miles out of a total area of 201 square
miles. It occupies a tongue of land on
the northern side of Molokai. The
north, east and west shores of this
tiny spit are washed by the Pacific,
while on the south side rise precipitous
cliffs of from 1,800 to 4.000 feet, which
make the Isolation seem even more
hopeless than the beautiful deep blue
waters of the sea ever could. The
most difficult and dangerous trail, con
stuntly mauued by government guards,
foils escape, if it were ever coutem
plated, by the land side.
Stupid Husband of a Notad 8inger.
Cataluni's husband, a handsome
Frenchman, was even more unintel
lectual than bis wife be was stupid.
Once. .having found the pitch of the
piano too blgb, she said after the re
hearsal to her husband: "The pluno Is
too blgb. Will you see that it is made
lower before the concert?" When the
evening came Cutalanl was annoyed
to Oud that the pluno bod not been
altered. Her husband sent for the car
penter, who declared that be had saw
ed off two inches from each leg, as
be bad been ordered to do. "Surely it
can't be too high now, my dear," said
the stupid husband soothingly.

London's Big Ban.
Why is the large bell in the tower
of the houso of parllument in London
culled Big Ben? The average London
er himself seems to have no idea how
it got its name. When the building
was designed Sir Benjamin Hall bad a
great deal to do with carrying out the
plans of the architects, being high
commissioner of public works, and his
coworkers appreciated the fact that to
him the city of London was largely in
debted. So when the question came
up in parliament as to the name of the
enormous bell that was to be bung lu
the tower a member shouted, "Why
not call It Big Ben?" This suggestion
was received with much applause as
well as with roars of laughter, for Sir
Benjamin was an enormous man, both
lu height and glrtb, and bad often been
culled Big Ben. From that day on
th bell whose peal every Loudoner
knows has been known only as Big
Ben. Uarpcr'B Weekly.
