CHANGED HER MIND
Strategic Game In Domestic Economy
the Husband Played.
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.

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

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

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
