MADE A GOOD GUESS.
Ha Had No Thermometer to Tall Him
tho Temparatura.
It often happen on sledge Journeys
among toe arctic Ice that the thermom
eters are broken. In that case the
party finds Itself without any means of
determining the temperature. But
Roald Amundsen, the discoverer of the
south pole, says that if the explorer
accustoms himself to guess the tem
perature it Is possible to estimate, the
mean temperature for a month with a
fair degree of accuracy. This fact he
proved by means of a guessing compe
tition during the winter that his party
spent In camp on the great ice barrier.
As each man came in In the morning
be gave bis opinion of the temperature
outside, and each guess was entered in
a book. At the end of the month 1
went over the figures, and the man
who had guessed correctly the great
est number of times won the prize a
few cigars. Besides giving practice In
estimating degrees of cold. It was a
very good diversion with which to be
gin the day. When one day is almost
exactly like another the first hour of
the morning Is likely to be a little sour.
The competition engaged every one's
attention pleasantly. Each man's en
trance was awaited with excitement,
and one man was not permitted to
make his guess in the hearing of the
man who followed blm. Therefore
they bad to speak as they came in, one
by one.
"Now, Stubberud." 1 would say,
"wbnt's the temperature today?"
Stubberud had his own way of cal
culating, which I never succeeded in
understanding. One day. for Instance,
be looked 'about him and studied the
various faces. "It isn't warm today,"
be said ut last, with a great deal of
conviction. 1 could Immediately en
courage him with the assurance that
he bad guessed correctly. It was 60
degrees F.I
Tbe monthly results were very inter
esting. Bo far as I can remember, the
best performance in any month was
eight approximately correct guesses.
A man might keep remarkably close to
the actual temperature for a long time
and then suddenly one day make an
error of 25 degrees.
Tbe winner's mean temperature
agreed within a few tenths of a degree
with the actual mean temperature of
tbe month, and tbe mean of all the
competitors' mean temperature gave a
result that was almost exactly correct
60 if we had been so unlucky as to
lose all our thermometers we should
not have been entirely at a loss.
An Old Tims Merman.
An amusing and detailed account of a
merman seen In the Atlantic, written
apparently in good faith, ends with the
following description of the monster,
which may possibly nave been a sear
or a sea lion. 'That monster is aDout
eight feet long, his skin is brown and
iHwny, without any scales, all bis mo
tions are like those of men, the eyes
ire a proportionable size, a little
mouth, a large and flat nose, . very
white teeth, black balr and chin cov
ered with a mossy beard, a sort of
whiskers Under the nose, the ears like
those of men, fins between the fingers
of his bands and feet like those of
ducks. In a word he Is a well shaped
man; Which Is certified to be true
by Captain Oliver Morin and John
Martin, pilot, and by the whole crew,
consisting of two-and-thirty men." (An
article from Brest in the "Memoirs of
Trevoux." The monster was mention
ed in the Gazette of Amsterdam Oc
12, 1725, where, it is said, it was seen

How to Read tha Moon.
Few people can tell at a glance
whether the moon Is waxing or wan
ing. Here is a whimsical rule to re
member by. It Is very simple to those
who' know Latin and is not difficult
tor those who do not. The first thing
Is to notice whether the moon Is like
a D or a C that is, whether the full
semicircular curve is on the right or
the left. If the moon shows a D that
naturally stands for decreaclt "It
wanes."
But then comes In the great principle
"The moAin Is always deceitful," and
one bus to understand the opposite of
what the moon soys, so that a moon
which shows a D Is a waxing moon,
while a waning moon Is like a C.
Those who have no Latin will no
iloubt look to see wbther tbe moon
jays it Is "decreasing," In which case,
they will understand that'lt is waxing,
while a waning moon will deny that
It Is "decreasing." New York Sun.
What Pepya 8aw In Churoh.
Once I'epys goes to Hackney church,
"chiefly," be says, "to see the young
ladies of the school, whereof there is
great store and very pretty." And on
anotber Sunduy, "After dinner I did
by water alone to Westminster to the
parish church and there did entertain
myself wltb the perspective glass up
and down the church, by which 1 hod
great pleasure of seeing and gazing at
a great many very fine women: and
wbat with that and sleeping, 1 passed
away tbe time till the sermon was
done." And again on a Sunday after
noon to the same church, "thinking to
see Betty Mlchell and stay an hour In
the crowd, thinking by tbe end of a
nose that I saw that it had been ber,
but at Inst the head was turned to
ward me u;io it was her mother,
which vexed tue." George Hodges In

Cost of First Clasa Traveling.
While on the l'aclllc ocean I met a
life Insurance man who told me that
he traveled constantly and that bis
expenses, afloat and ashore, averaged
til a duy. He kept no expense ac
count, he Bald. At tbe end of the year
lie charged tbe company $11 a day for
expenses, and that was almost exactly
what he spent I made a calculation
and found that the present trip has
cost us $11 a duy eucb. almost to a
penny.
If you want to know what traveling
costs, here is an estimate you may de
pend upon. This means rapid travel
ing, by railroad and steamship, und
sightseeing in the towns with the as
sistance of a guide. The estimate in
cludes tho purchases a traveler is com
pelled to make and cannot be reduced
much unless you travel second class
and deny yourself many things. Ed

Most old beople must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they suf
fer from constipation. The condition
is perfectly natural. It is just as natu
ral as it is for old people to walk slow
ly. For age is never so active as youth.
The muscles are less elastic. And the
bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets. One
might as well refuse to aid' weak eyes
willi glasses as to neglect this gentle
aid to weak bowelB. The bowelB must
be kept active. This is important at all
ages, but never so much as at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh, physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the bow
els into activity. But a lash can't be
used evory day. What the bowels of
tho old need is a gentle and natural
tonic. Ono that can be constantly used
without harm. The only such tonic is

"Ha" Is the feminine duul. The ex

C. B. Hardy, of the Aincricaji Tobac

vertising the famous old "Bull" Dur

ThiS week at tobacco dealers aJJ o.er
town, purchasers of a 5c bag of "Bh"
Durham are being presented with iJ4
karat, gold plated watch charms, which
are replicas of the .familiar Durham
Bull. These charms are a really hand
some and desirable souvenir, as all
smokers receiving them will appreciate.
They are finely made, highly polished,
and may readily be attached to watch
chain or fob. It is the prediction of
the local dealers that the limited sup
ply will go fast.
r'Do you know," said Mr. Hardy to
a Capital Journal reporter, "that 'Bull
Durham is the most extensively handled
article in the world! Sounds pretty
big, doesn't it f And yet it is a fact,
More than 600,000 dealers handle 'Bull'
Durham in the United States alone.
"You might think that salt, or su
gar, or flour, was more extensively
sold than 'Bull' but such is not the
case. Salt and other products are sold
oni.v Dy grocers, ot winch there are
perhaps a quarter of a million in this
