One of the wittiest of our peers is Lord Longford, and he has also earned the reputation of being one of the worst dressed, in spite of the fact that for twenty years he has been in the Second Life Guards. The story goes that a friend once met him in Ireland garbed in a pair of con- tinuations which were not on speaking terms with his boots, and chaffed him mercilessly about the "lucid interval" that occurred between them. But "Tom- my," as Lord Longford is known to his intimates, in no wise disconcerted, bland- ly explained that it was really a matter of high politics. "You see, my dear fellow, the breeches melte made by a tailor who is a rampant Orangeman, while the boots are the achievement of a Fenlan cobbler, so how can you expect 'em to meet ?"—London Tit-bl ts. Useful Soldering Fluid. A soldering fluid, which has proved very useful in certain railway shops, is made, says the Street Railway Journal, by killing two quarts of hydrochloric acid with all the zinc it will take up. Then to the acid a quart of water is added, or it may have to he added before the zinc will fully dissolve. A quart of glycerine, which has previously been mix- ed with a quart of alcohol, is then added to the solution. This fluid is used for all kinds of soldering, and has been found especially desirable with greasy or dirty connections, as well as for soldering iron. It is claimed that the glycerine prevents ail rust, which plays havoc when many soldering fluids containing hydrochloric acid are used.

Perhaps the most novel use to which bread is put, says The American Food Journal, way be seen in the great faotorlea of the Elgin National Watch Cowpany, at Elgin, 111.. where more than forty loaves of fresh bread are required each day. Superintend- ent George E. Hunter, of the watch factory, is quoted as saying: "There is no secret regarding the use of bread in this factory, and I am willing to tell all I can conceralug•it.. From the earl- leet times in the history of watchmaking it has been the custom of watchmakers to reduce fresh bread to the form of dough. Th1e is done by steaming and kneading. They then use this dough for removing oil any dips that naturally adhere, in the course of manufacture, to pieces as small as to be barely visible to the naked eye. The oil is absorbed by this dough, and the chits stick to it, and there is no other known substance Which can be used as a wiper with- out leaving some of its particles attacned to the thing wiped, This accounts for the con- tinued use of bread dough in the watchmak- ing tudustry. The Elgin National Watch Company uses something over forty-two pound loaves per day, or about 24,000 pounds a year. See George's B ° f g Powder is best for Biscuits — best fo.

Botany and Anthropology, Dr. .J. B. Cleland. in a paper read before the Linneau Society of New South Wales, undertakes to attack the question of the antiquity of the ances- tors of the vanishing aborigines of Aus- tralia in a new way. If it can be proved, he says, that the vegetation of Aus- tralia has been modified in the course of ages so as to have become more tol- erant of bush fires, and ads a result of the frequency of such fires, and if such fires are due mainly to the agency of man, then there would be grounds for attributing considerable antiquity to fire - producing man on the Australian con- tinent. ace,• Minard's Liniment Cures Distemper.

Many people have been led to believe that the cent -a -pound mail rate accorded under the lave to publishers mailing their papers and .magazines in bulk was the cause of actual loss to the government. In a recent discussion of the subject, a writer maintaining this thesis asserted that the publicittioits enjoying these so- called second-class privileges paid only four per cent, of the postal revenues. Whether this estimate is correct or not it is of little importance; the fact which is important, and which biased and thoughtless critics ignore, is that the granting of the second-class privilege has brought millions of dollars of profitable first-class business to the postal ser- vice. It is on •record in the archives of the postal commission, which sat in New York in October, 1008, that a single ad- vertisement in a publication enjoying second-class rates was the cause of the wrting of more than 3,000 letters. This case might be multiplied by thousands, and it would be shown that, far from being itself the cause of a deficit in the postal revenues, the second-class privi- lege, by the profitable business it creates, goes far to make up for the losses occa- sioned by rural free delivery, the ridicu- lous abuses of the franking privilege, and the failure to credit the Postoffiee Department with the mail carried for all other government departments.—Leslie's Weekly.

Edison Holds the Record With Ono Thousand to His Credit. The greatest patented in this country—and that probably means the greatest in the world—is Thomas A. Edison. Ile has rolled up the enormous total of almost 1,000 pa - teats and shows no inclination to quit, Ask the patent office people who comes next to Edison, says the Now York Sun, and they will tell you that nobody is within hulling distance of the wizard. A good many men can count their patents by the scare, and, as some of them are much young- er than Edison, they may beat him out in time. Up to the present, however, he deserves the title of the Great American Patentee. 'Pkat means a good deal, for 11 is undoubt- edly a fact that an American will take out a patent on loss provooation than any other man or woman in the world. As a consequence, the Patent Office _le nil ing up a' swollen fortune whiclt makes It a bloated bondholder among the government departments. It has achieved a surplus of 36,000,000 and is growing higher every day. Yankee ingenuity is gorgng the Patent ()f- ree with records and piling up models by the hundred thousand. ZAII-BUIL CURES PILES. NO RETURN OF TROUBLE This distressing complain is suc- cessfully dealt with by the Zam-Buk treatment. The agony of Piles is as excruciating as the disease itself is weakening, and every sufferer should lose no time in giving Zam-Buk a thorough trial. Zam-Buk subdues the eallays rest and comfort ntoticome to the worn-out sufferer. Mrs. E. Boxall, of 75 Scott Street, St Thomas, Ont., writes: "I consider it my duty to write of the benefits derived using Zam-Buk. For some months Iwaa constant of- ferer from bleeding piles. I had used a great many ointments but got no relief until I had tried Zam-Buk. It cured me and I have had no return of the trouble. Since my cure, I; have advised others suffering with a similar complaint to use Zam-Buk, and in each instance have heard satis factory reports." Zarn-Buk also cures , burns scalds, ulcers,ringworni,ltiitch, bar- ber s rash, blood poison, bad leg, salt rheum, abrasions, abscesses and all skin injuries and diseases.

Human science owes many et debt, especially on the practical side, to the instinct of the lower animals. One of these obligations is cited by an eminent authority. Engineers frequently build dams straight across streams, the object being, in some cases, to save expense, by sparing material. But the beaver arches his dam against the current, and experi- ence has shown that this form of dam is best to resist floods and the impact of floating ice. Acting upon the knowl- edge which is instinctive with the beav- er, and which human calculation ap- proves, the Great Bear Valley dam, in California, and some other dams in that State, have• been constructed and 'so made that their stability depends upon the resistance which their arched form presents. eeneteeeteneeeee Teem.

The Source of Life. In Poleozoic times, then, writes Pro- fessor Lowell, in the Century, it was the earth itself, not the sun, to which plant and animal primarily stood be- holden for existence. This gives us a most instructive glimpse into one plane- tologic process. To the planet's owe in- ternal heat is due the chief fostering of the beginnings of life upon its surface. Thus a planet is capable of at least be- ginning to develop organisms without more than a modicum of help from the central sun. We talk of the sun as the source of life; and so it is to -day in the sense of being its sustainer, but the real source was the earth itself, which also raised it through its babyhood.

"A friend of urine called on this St Joseph fellows' sweetheart ono night, and found her embroidering. "Oh, I say," my friend exclaimed, what exquisite embroidery, don't you know.
