Without “ Padding.** The teacher, o f the class In English, says tbe Detroit Free Press, demanded that the pupils all write for their daily exercise a brief account of a baseball game. One boy sat through the period seem ingly wrapped in thought while the others worked hard and turned in their narratives. After school the teacher approached the desk of the laggard. " I ’ll give you five minutes to write that description,” he sternly said. “ I f It is not done by that time I shall punish you.” The boy promptly concentrated all bis attention upon the theme as the teacher slowly counted the moments. At last, with Joyful eagerness, he scratched a line on his tablet and handed it to his master. It read: “ Ualn—no game.” “ Home, Sweet Home,** Too Pathetiof “ Home, Sweet Home,“ the soug o f a homeless American, once moved Rob ert Louis Stevenson to an outburst of passionate protest. But It was tue music ratbci than the words that roused his Indignation. You will find the passage In “ Across the Pin Ins:" “ 1 have no Idea whether musically this air Is to be considered good or bad, but It belongs 1«* that class o f art which may best be described as a brutal as sault upon the feelings. Pathos must be relieved by dignity of treatment If you wallow naked In the pathetic, like the author of 'Home, Sweet Home,’ you make your hearers weep In an unmanly fashion, and even yet while they are moved they despise themselves and hate the occasion of their weakness.” Watched the Jockeys. When the Derby was first founded ' the stewards used to ride along the | course to watch the competitors. A separate steward was detailed for each horse, and his duty was to see there was no Interference with that horse or his Jockey by the other competitors or the public. In a picture of the Derby of 1701 by J N. Sartorius one of the stewards can be seen riding along gfly- ly some lengths In front of the winner. Making It Clear.

Ordinary Road Drag la Made With Two Halves of a Log—Thia Process Forces Water to Drain Off at Either 8ide, Leaving Bed In Condition. The best results from roud drag ging come when the roads ure drugged directly after a rain. The surface of the road is leveled, the holes and ruts are filled up, and the earth is puddled. A crust forms when the top dries out, making the road much more lasting than it would be if dragged at any other time. To keep a road smooth aud crowned the best method is to drag with an or dinary wood road drug, iniide easily with two halves of a log which has been split. This log should be about six or eight inches in thickness and six to eight feet long. The halves are sot three feet apart with the smooth surfaces forward and upright. They are fastened together with braces set in holes bored through the log. I f they are not heavy enough a board can be placed on top, and the driver stands upon it. This will weight it down sufficiently. In some cases It has been found desirable to attach a piece of metal along the lower edge of the forward piece of the drag. This cuts the surface of the ground better and insure'« also more efficient work. The road drag should move forward so that It slants across the road In such a way that a small amount of earth will slide past the smooth face of the log toward the middle of the road, thus forming the crown. In this way the edge of the drag smooths out the ruts and fills up the holes. The best way to drag is to begin at the side ditch and go up one side of the road and then down on the other. Wonders of Victoria FaTTs. Victoria falls Is in shape like a huge capital T —the falls represented by the top o f the letter aud the outlet by the stum. The water pours into a great pool a mile long and escapes by a nar row outlet not more than 150 feet 1 wide In places. The water pours into the pool with u roar that may be heard twenty-eight miles and stirs up a spray that causes constant rain to ; fall in Its immediate territory. This spray is so great that It looks like a cloud aguiust the sky and may he seen before you hear the roar of the falls. Yet the water from this great pool es capes almost as quietly as water from an undisturbed lake. After the water escapes from the great pool below the falls through the stem of the letter T it makes a turn at right angles and sweeps around like the capital letter U. Yet there Is nF great disturbance in any part o f the outlet from the falls. At Niagara the whirlpool rapids is one of the world’s wonders. Here the riv er a few hundred feet below the falls seems to be navigable.—E. W. Howe’s Monthly. ________ __________1 Couldn’t Be Much Lighter. At a mock parliament held in Bris tol the “ honorable member for Stran raer” asked the “ right honorable the president of the board of trade” (re ferring to the merchant shipping act 18D4, prevention of collisions) “ wheth er a lighterman, having two light light ers in tow, would be required to light a lighter light on the lighter lighter, so that the lighter the lighter the lighter the light?” The president replied, “ Obviously the answer is in the nega tive, since the lighter lighter being the lighter and the use of the compara tive ‘lighter’ denoting that the lighter Is already light’ the lighter of the lights would not be required to light a lighter light on the lighter lighter, since the lighter lighter Is lighter than the light lighter.” —Strand Magazine Selenium In Time Recording. An ingenious application of tbe pe culiar property of selenium of varying Its electric resistance with change of Illumination lias been made in Heidel berg In the electric transmission of pendulum beats to a distance for re cording time and comparing clocks. For a long time the beats were elec trically transmitted through contacts made by tbe pendulum itself. This method introduced irregularities of consequence, where hundredths of a second are taken into account, as iu astronomical observations. The Hei delberg method causes tbe swinging pendulum. Just as It touches Its lowest point to reflect a beam of light upon a selenium cell, which transmits the message without physical contact with the pendulum.—New York Tribune.
