It wouid seem that a goon runner could caedly give a s:art o tifte yards in a hundred to a lean Wee wits doing the tifty yarils ley hoppine en one leg. But few runners. if auy, can afford to give -that amount of start to any man who is at ail etrong on his legs. For the feret the yards or so they go at practically the same pace, so that to run ninety-five yards wane his opponent is hopping forty- five he has to go more than twice as fast, and it is a weak man indeed who cannot hop fifty yards in ten seconds. An ordinary woeden match is eas- ily broken in the fingers; but, al- though there are many who will bet they can do it, none succeed in ac- complishing the task if the match is laid across the nail of the middle finger of either hand and pressed upon by the first and third fingers of that hand, despite its seeming so easy at first sight. No one can emelt an egg pieced lengthwise between his clasped hands —that is, if the egg, be sound and has the ordinary shell of a hen's egg. It is safe to bet a man that he cannot get out of a chair without bending hie body forward or putting his feet under it if he is sitting on it, not at the edge of it. Another equally certain wager is that a man cannot stand at the side of a room with both of his feet touching the wainscoting lengthwise. It is safe to bet any man, save one who is blind, that be cannot stand for five minutes without moving if he is blindfolded. Puzzling Differences In Weights. Which is heavier, a pound of feathers or a pound of lead.? They weigh the same. Which is heavier, Li pound of feathers or a pound of silver? The pound of feathers is heavier, be- cause feathere are weighed by avoir- dupois weight, which has 7,000 grains to the pound, while the pre- cious metals are weighed by troy weight, which has only 5,760 grains to the pound. Which is heavier, an ounce of feathers or an ounce of silver? An ounce of silver, because in the troy ounce there are 480 grains, while in the avoirdupois ounce there are only 487 le grains The avoirdupois pound of 7,000 grains is. divided into eixteen ounces, while the lighter troy pound of 5,760 grains is divide.d into twelve heavier ounces. three a An oe; Ita ta tertalee Timea, * ! riage iiete r eeit coeifer. .111074 1.1.717 ' condin•tor p the tier:min tael "Are iou elan?"

All true ashes have scales, but in wine they are so minute or so deep- ly ineheeded in the skin as to be int - perceptible. In most kinds, how- ever, they are distinct enough, and in the pompano and the kingfish el the Gulf of Mexico, whieh afforde magnificent sport to anglers, they are sometimes almost as big as silver dollars and are used to make orna- ments. Scales vary greatly in thiekness and strength as well as la size. They serve as an armor for the fish, nol only against the attacks of enemies, but against parasites and infections of all kinde. When a fish's scales are torn by wounds or accident 0 fungus is almost certain to take root, develop and finally kill the fish. It is to protect the animal still further that a sort of slime oozee continually from pores in the skie and spreads over the surface of the scales. The size and strength of the scales of a fish are in direct relation to its habits of life. The ea and catfish, which have no external armor, tura near the bottom and among weeds and escapes assault by ilouedering in the mud. Perch and trout, whicb live in elear water, have strongez and bigger scales, and the best ar- mor belongs to those fishes which ar1i themselves predatory. Most scales show lines of growth on the uppez surface, and the number of spawnine periods it has passed througli and the injuriee it has suffered eau be read by those who understand the rear Rings. The leost complete and effective rIrraOr among fishes, is that of the gars or billfish ef our American and some African rivers. Her the scales do not overlap, but are lozenge shamed and joined at the edges, like the pieces of a mosaic. Instead of being rounded anti horny, they are composed of an ivory -like enamel. This was characteristic of the fishes of that very primitive age called saurian. The seas were then ailed with fish, some of great size and ferocity, which had solid, pavement - like armor of this kind and. are ICT3Otvia as ganoids. A few small species rif this primitive type have eurvived, to the present. One reason may le that, except in infancy, they are safe from ordinary enemies. Finger-Prirtts.

This enabled her to remove smaller refuse. The reelduni» sl3e put Into the next smaller Wetter, and she repeated the process until there was a quantity of sand and gravel ready for treatment. This she sprinkled freely with water and by a deft ch•cniar movement of the -platter brought the small gravel to the outside, where it could be thrust over the edge. When she had repeated this operation three or four times she treated the material: which now looked more like mud than anything else, in a still smaller platter. • At last, be the smallest platter of all, she had the bucketful of aweepings re- duced to a handful or two of black sand. This she carefully washed and sifted. At last with a dexterous twist she brought the sand into it crescent, the outer edge of which showed a thin rim of yellow. It was unmistakably gold dust. The whole operation had taken half an hour, and it had pro- duced about a shilling's worth of gold. Sleep Talkers. It is a curious fact that people when talking in their sleep are al- ways truthful and never evasive, but if their feelings are played upon by their questioner they will betray great anger. Their eyes are always tightly closed, and the intonation of the voice is very different from the tones used when the person is fully awake. Sleep talkers may by conversation be brought to remember a dream within a dream, and they will recollect what happened in pre- cedin.g dreams. Very often mental anxiety will make people talk in their sleep when under other conditions they would never do It—London Standard. No Need to Call Him.

PIGS AND FIGURES. Porkers From the Standpoint of All Around Mathematics. The educated pig of the old time 4ideshow, which gravely read figures on a blackboard, was only a type of a class. His modern prototype is quite his equal in devotion to the exact sci- ence. By both instinct and fate he Is a mathematical animal. Subjectively and objectively he Is great on figures. They are dealt out to him, and he deals in them himself. Ere desires his square meals to be regulated daily by the rule of three. In addition, he deals with his owner's indebtedness. He is able to reduce a mortgage to fractions with amazing rapidity, In measuring the available contents Of a pail of slop he is a lightning calculator. As a multiplier the pig has no equal, counting on six to the litter and two litters in the year. At this rate, bar- ring accidents, the sow's progeny will • amount to more than 1,000 in four years. A week old pig Is up in geom- etry, finding tbe way home along the hypotenuse short cut. An old sow's quickness in boxing the. compass in a potato patch is amazing. And when It comes to a troughful of skimmilk she is the least common divisor; she wants it all herself. Objectively the porker finds himself stacked about with a bewildering ar- ray of figures -his gains every day on pasture, his gains every day on grain, his gains to the pound of grain, his gains on pasture plus a daily ration, his gains on vegetables and roots - these and a hundred other tabulations surround him. Profit or loss, so far as the pig Is concerned, is almost purely a matter of feeds and feeding, and tbese are in tbeir turn matters of al- most pure 'mathematical measure- ments; hence have resulted the long listed calculations available to the farmer. -W.

"Monstrous absurdity," and "ridi- culous misrepresentation" were among the terms used last night by Mr. Ben H. Spence, Secretary of the Dominion Alliance, in expressing his opinion of the map teing widely circulated by Conservative workers proporting to show the comparative spread of temper- enee under the Ross and Whitney re - genes. "The map. is absolutely mis- leading, and gives an entirely erroneous and false impression to those who do not know the real situation," Mr. Spence said. The map is question has been issued as part of the "machine ammunition" of the Conservative party in the Provin- cial election, and, covering a large poster, makes a conspicuous showing. On the upper half of the bill is a map supposed to show the atate of 'temper- ance reform under the late Liberal Ad- ministration. This map is practically all shaded, signifying, therefore, a "wet" Province. A similar map on the lower half of the sheet is one expanse if white designating "dry" territory with the exception of a few squares, representative of townships. "In tbe first place," said Mr, Spence, "the representation is false in that no way has been taken of showing on the white squares those scores of licenses that exist m villages, such as in Mark - dale and Chatsworth, in the county of Grey. The Province appears white al- most, whereas 114 municipalities. are cursed by oiTer 400 licenses, which one would deem non-existent were he to go by this. Unfortunately, their absence from the map does not make them non- existent in those municipalities. "The upper map shows deliberate misrepresentation in its shading," con- tinued Mr. Spence. "Look at all that territory in the northern part of On- tario" -indicating with his pencil the greater proportion of the Preadnce, that part lying above "Old Ontario" -"that is all shown in black. Isn't that Mimi- ous? See Algonquin Park, all black! Algonquin Park! in which no licenses ever existed or ever will exist! Is that a fair representation, to show as under license during the Liberal regime a huge territory that never had license? "Look again at the empty of Peter- boro'," he went on. "The upper map shows it shaded, when in reality it was largely white at the time referred to. The lower map shows it white -a dry county -yet, there are several licenses in the county of Peterhoro' to -day that would not be there only for the Whitney Government. "The misrepresentation is most glar- ing the Province over. When the Whitney Governnnent assumed office there were 184 municipalities "dry." in Ontario. What does the map show? About 23 "dry" when they came into office." "That is an amazing disparity," the reporter commented. "Yes, but what can you expect? When it was to be false at all, it might as well go the limit," replied Mr. Spence. "The people responsible for that map, and I know not who they were, must have had very little regard for the truth; they must have been very hard up for campaign material, and they must have had a very low opinion of the intelligence of the electors to whom it was to be sent. "A third offence in this case is that, in its wording the map gives credit for the transformation, such as it is, to the Whitney Government, when in reality this was accomplished, not by reason of any legislation they have enacted, but iri spite of the hindrances they have placed in the way."

RULES FOR SUMMER VISITORS, Do not blame the landlord for the mattress. ttress. This will make hard feelings also. Be patient with the canned goods. Remember that they are aged. Praise your landlord's dogs unquali- fiedly. They bark because they are pleascch not to keep you awake. Thank the landlady for the attention, of her children. It is but an innocent' curiosity whih prompts them to ex- plore your trunk. Get on good terms at once with your. fellow -boarders. Maybe yeti can bor- row money of them. Do not call your landlord a robber. He may be only a thief. Be very careful of your table man- ners. It is quite rude to become ex- cited and babble incoherently if food is brought to the table. If you are asked to sing, do it. It is their own fault. When strolling in the meadow, see- the bull before he sees you. Do not allow the hired man to -become familiar (unless you need a drink.) Go home ten days sooner than you expected to. This may save your life. -Judge. MOO!
