Strategy can sometimes be made as effective in domestic economy as In the operations of war. By way of 11- luatration consider an instance that recently arose in a certain city. JHs ambitious young housewife there had ai opportunity to buy at a great bargain a handsome rug which she needed. The price was only $200, but the owner declared that the rug was ac^nlly worth $400. The young wo- iflWs busband gently protested that even $200 was more than persons of their Income could afford for a single article of household furnishing, but after much persuasion he consented to tbe purchase, as most husbands do in such cases. But this particular husband played a strategic game. When he gave his wife the money to pay for the rug it was not In currency notes of large de nomination. but In the form of 200 round, sound silver dollars. The young woman was astounded. Until the money was counted down dollar by dollar she never hnd realized that It would take so many to pay for that rug. She decided to buy a slxty-flve dollar rug. but declared that If the money hnd been given to her In two notes of $100 each she would have bought the costlier one without hesita tion.— New York Mall. Origin of the Dog. HANDEL’S TEMPER Composer’» Weakness. Tbe celebrated composer Handel had such n remarkable irritation of nerves that he could not bear to hear the tun Ing of Instruments, and therefore this was always done before he arrited at the theater. A musical wag who knew bow to extract some mirth from Handel's irascibility of temper stole into the orchestra on a night when the Prince of Wales was to be present and un- tuned all the lnstruments. As soon as tbe prince arrived Handel gave the signal of beginning, con splrito, but such was the horrible discord that the enraged musician started up from his sent. nnd. having overturned a double bass, which stood In his way. he seized a kettledrum, which he threw with such violence at the leader of the blind that he lost his full bottomed wig In the effort. Without waiting to replace It he advanced bareheaded to tbe front of the orchestra, breathing vengeance, but so much choked with passion that utterance was denied him. In this ridiculous attitude be stood staring and stamping for some moments amid a convulsion of laughter, nor could he be prevailed upon to resume bls seat until the prince went in per son and appeased his wrath. THE PLANET MARS. It* Orbit and its Distance From the Sun and Earth. While the astronomers are still de- bating and weighing tbe problem of Mars and its inhabitants a few words about the distance of the planet from the sun and earth may be of interest. The average distance of Mars from the sun is 141,500,000 miles. The dis tance from earth to sun is 93.000,000 miles. When sun, earth and Mars are In line, with the sun and Mars on op poslte sides of the earth, Mars is said te be in "opposition," and it is then closest to the earth. If earth and Mars both moved in circles about the sun tbe distance from earth to Mars at opposition would t>e forty-eight and a half (141U—93) million miles. But neither of the orbits Is circular, that of Mars being much more elliptical than that of the earth, with the re suit that at opposition Mars may be as far away as 61.000.000 miles from the earth when there is an unfavora hie opposition, or Mars may come us close ns 35.000.000 miles away, when It is ns near as it can possibly come to tbe earth, and its opposition is then the most favorable possible. At such rimes Mars is brightest in the dry and appears of greatest size.—New York World. Biggest of Csnnibal Banquets. Pru'iably the biggest cannibal orgy on re ord is one of which Miss Bea trice Grimshaw te"< In her book “The New New Guinea '' “In 1858 a ship- lo. d of Chinamen was being taken down to Australis. The vessel was wre< ked upon II reef close to Rossel Islnti.l (New Guinea). The officers es enped In boats, but were never after ward heard of. As for tbe Chinamen, numbering 326. the natives captured them and put them on a small barren island, where they had no food and no means of getting away. They kept their prisoners supplied with food from the mainland nnd every now and then carried away a few of them to eat until nil but one old man had been devoured. This one succeeded eventu ally tn getting away and told some thing of the story, which seems to have met with general disbelief.
