Above and Below Proof.
Refore the means of determining the
true quantity of alcohol In spirits were
known dealers employed a very rude
method to form a notion of the
"strength." A given quantity of the
spirit was poured upon gunpowder In
a dish and set on fire. If tbe gunpow­
der continued dry enough It took fire
and exploded, but If It had been damp­
ened by the water In tbe spirita tbe
flame of the alcohol went out without
setting tbe powder on fire. This was
called the “proof." Spirits which kin­
dled gunpowder were said to be “above
proof," those that did not set fire to it
were said to be "below proof.” but thia
did not fix tbe strength. Clark In bls
hydrometer, which was Invented about
file year 1730, fixed the strength of
proof spirits on the stem, at the spe­
cific gravity of .020. at the temperature
of 60 degrees. Thia Is tbe strength at
which proof spirit la fixed by act of
parliament, and at this strength It la
no more than a mixture of forty-nine
pounds of pure alcohol with fifty-one
ixmiids of pure water.—London Stand­

Case of Too Much Ham.
One morning not long ago there
trlpievl up to a butcher stall in a Bal­
timore market a dainty little thing out
for her first marketing.
"My husband bought a couple of nice
bums from you not long ago,” she an­
nounced.
"Yen’m.” aakl the smiling butcher; “1
remember well. Fine bams, weren't
they?”
"They were delicious." said the
young wife. "Have you any more like
them?"
"Lots." responded the butcher. In
diluting a row of bams In tbe rear of
tbe stall.
The young tliiug surveyed tbe bams
thoughtfully.
“Are you sure." abe
Anally asked, “that they’re from tbe
same pig as that from which my hus­
band bought?"
"Yes'in." answered the butcher with­
out so much as a quiver of an eyelid.
"Then yon may send me three more
of them.” she aald.-l’lttsburg Post.
Division.
The new teacher glanced smilingly
over tbe school and was delighted to
see so many bright young faces among
ber new charges.
“Now. children.” she said, “so that I
may find out what you know I will
test you on arithmetic. Maggie Wil­
kins. if I were to divide three bananas
among seventeen boys wbat would be
the result?"
“A riot." said Maggie, speaking up
like a little drum major.
“Possibly." said the teacher, "but
that Is not wbat I mean. Tommy, you
may take the question. Three bananas
among three boys—that would be one
banana apiece for each boy.
Now,
three bananas among seventeen boys
would be wbat?”
“Three bananas, mim,” answered
Tommy.
"1 know, but three Into seventeen is"
—said the teacher.
"Three bananas would go into seven­
teen boys once and none over," said
Tommy confidently.
It was then that tbe new teacher re­
signed.—Harper’s Weekly.
The Wilderness.
This theater of bloody conflicts is a
vast sea, so to speak, of a dense forest
—a second growth more than a century
old. It Is made up chiefly of scrubby,
low limbed, stubborn oaks aud disor­
dered. haggard pines, for the soil Is
cold aud thin, with here aud there
scattering clumps of alien cedars.
Some of tbe oaks are large enough to
cut two railroad ties, and every once
and awhile you come across an acre
or two of pines ten to twelve Inches In
diameter, tall aud tapering, true to the
soaring propensities of their kind. But
generally, and above all where the bat­
tle was fought, tbe trees are noticeably
stunted and so close together and
thick lower limbs so Intermingled with
a thick uuderbrusb that It Is very dif­
ficult indeed to make one’s way
through them.—Atlantic Monthly.

There is no better tonic
than a two mile walk before going to

some distance from their offices or

Ths Meredith Cocoanut.
George Meredith may uut have been
an altogether familiar author to the
ordinary reader who craves for quick
sensation.
He never eutue down to
the simplicity of Sherlock Holmes or
Captulu Kettle. Meredith required au
acute and trained intellect before be .
could be appreciated.
It was once utentloned. In referring
to the difficulty vvltlcb some people ex-
perieiiie In reading Meredith's novels,
that the Meredith “cocoaiiut" was
very hard, but that the milk when
reached proved to be very sweet.
This Joke got Into the pa|>ers.
Two days afterward a well known
firm of fruiterers had an inquiry after
these coeoanuts from a country cus­
tomer! The letter was to tlie effect
that, having read somewhere that
Meredith's coeoanuts have bad 11 large
