The Diplomat wondered why Mae- da blushed so deeply when she held up her face to bo kissed by the Duke; and later he asked for am explana- tion, which a. woman's wit readily supplied, albeit not the trueeone. He wondered, also, why no mention was made of his father's marriage. "The Chief, you know," he said to Lady Colin, some six months after- wards, "met a charmer about the time we were engaged.

Largest Tortoise in the World. Tho Zoological Gardens in London have lately become the home of a tor- toise Imported from the Island of Mau- ritius, which weighs 500 pounds and measures 4 feet 7 inches froin head to tail. It was purchased from a family in Mauritius, who vouched for having it in their possession for no years. Experts who have examined it think its age nearer 300 than 200 years, and it seems to be not more than in its prime. A tortoise still larger' than this one was given to the Natural History Mu- seum by the same person.• It weighed 870e pounds when it died, and as it was known to be not much more than 80 years ola it is to be supposed that its weight would have continued to increase with advancing years. • • It's worth Ten cents to clear your house of flies and ikon's Fly Pads will do it. Eggs by- Weight. - There is a movement on foot among produce dealers to adopt the plan which is in use in many parts of the world for selhng .eggs y weight. The unfair- ness of the present method is more ap- parent than real. If a housewife were, to buy by the pound instead of by the dozen she would doubtless receive one or two less for the same expenditure, unless the eggs were very large. But she would undoubtedly receive the same amount of nutrim'ent, pernaps a little more. It is reported that the provisionals of Prussia have been petitioned to have eggs sild in the future, by weight , stead of number, The claim. is that the German eggs are much heavier and larger than the eggs imported , so it seems unfair that they ;should sell at an equal price per dozen. Minard's Linament Cures Distemper. Filipino Costumes. The native man, almost invariably dressed In a white' cotton undershirt and trciusers with a belt around his waist, usually goes barefooted. The Philippines will never be a profitable market for shoes or other wearing apparel. Agauze undershirt seems to be the favorite cos- tume for all times and seasons, but on holidays and high days the native wears an ordinary shirt of European pattern, made of grass linen or some one of the other native fibres, with a bosom stiffly starched and the tails outside, of his trousers.

Samuel Maxim, a brother of the Max- im of rapid-fire gun fame, has made a discovery in a process for producing steel which has remarkable qualities. Mr. Maxim is a fernier who lives hi Maine. For some time he has been carper- ing with various inethods for making blades which will vie with the Damascus blade of hinnortal num After reading some old Hindoo books he constructed a forge on the Indian plan, and from this producecl an ingot, which he forged into a rough drill.

Nuts are indispensable to the vege- truian, making up for such items as meat, milk and butter. Better yet, they are free !rein disease germs. Chestnuts and chinquapins are starchy nuts, and, therefore, must be well cooked to be digestible. Most nuts are more Wholesome when cooked. Pine nuts grow on the dry hills of Col- orado and California in profusion. They are cheap, as there is no waste. They should be washed and dried. We call the fruit of trees nuts *when we eat the kernel and reject the outside covering. When we nverse this order and eat the outside, rejecting the kernel, we call them fruits. Wash greasy dishes, pots or pans with Lever's Dry Soap a powder. It will re- move the grease with the greatest ease. 30 Air in a Subway. An English physician has madan an- alysis of the air in the underground railway of London with astonishinie re- sults. The amount of oxygen in the atmosphere was only 20.00 parts in vol- ume, while in the worst courts in Lon- don it was never found lower than 20.- 80. Pate air conteinsee0.94 per ceeteof • oxygen, And with diminution of oxygen there was a proportionate inceease in the cue- bonic acid gas. The normal quantity is .037 in 100 parts, but the expert found that in one of the Metropolitan Railway tunnels the carbonic acid gas was .338 per ceut. This is 'excessively high when it is taken into consideration that whenever the carbonic acid gas in the atmosphere exceeds .100 per cent. the air is much too polluted to be breathed with sawith safety to one's health.

Many yetirs ago, before the produc- tion of grain was dime to the demand, wages of farm heeds were high, but as production increased the prices lowered faster than the rate of wages. • - A farmer employed an industrious Ir- ishman for five years at the rate of $50 a month "and found"—board, lodg- ing, washing and mending. At the end of the term, he said to his man: "I can't afford to pay .you the wages I have be.en paying.' You have saved money, and I have saved nothing. At this rate you will seen own my farm."; "Then I'll hire you to work for me," said the other, "and you can get your farm back again."—Suocess. Summer .

It is not universally known that the right of erecting a dovecot was a priv- ilege only to be enjoyed in England by the herds of the manor, and the law was vigorously enforced on this point. But in Scotland, according to a statute still held in observance, nobody has a right to build a cot,in either town or country 'unless • he is the owner of land yield- ing about 900 imperial bushels of pro- duee per annum, and this property must be situated within at least two miles of the dovecot, or pigeon house. A fur- ther enactment also states that on the above named conditions only one cot shall be built. A distinguished authority on hus- bandry estimated that in 1628 there were 20,000 dovecots in England, and that allowing 500 pairs to each house the damage wrought by birds in devouring core would work out at no less than 13,000,000 bushels, that is, an allow- ance of four bushels yearly to cub. pair.' Any one who destroyed a cot was guilty of theft, and is so held at the present time in Scotland (the. net was passed in 1579), While a third offence of dove- cot breaking was capitally punishable. -- Hour Glass.

Pine Old Parish Church Wrecked by Green parasite. A striking lesson as to the destructive effects of the unchecked growth of ivy can now be sen a few miles to the north of London, says the Athenaeum. ,A line old parish church has ben wreck- ed by this green parasite, which has been too long encouraged by a false idea of picturesque beauty—the old Essex Church of All Saints, Chingford. Last February, in the midst of Mole, windy weather, the crash came; the whole roof of the nave and south Melt> collaird in a complete wreck, slinking and im- peri,ling the walls, which are bound aIeed ily to iollow.

"Drink did it; God help me!" were the words which n Brooklyn man scrawled on an envelope recently before he fired the pistol that ended his life. The man had a prosperous business and a largo family to whom he was devoted in his sober moments, but he became enslaved by the drink habit and saw no way to break the chains that bound him but by ending his existence with his own hand. "Wilk did it; God help me I" might well servo as a fitting inscription over thou- sands of other men who go down to ruin and death every year ender a like en- slavement. And yet there are those pro- fessing to hive the well-being of the community at heart who would have the drinking shops turning out their grist of shame and misery not only for six days .of every week but on the seventh day also—Leslie's Weekly. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications as they cannot roach Ute diseased portion of the ear. Thereto only one way to cure deafness, and that le by con- stitutional rediedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous Dahmer tho Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in- flamed you have a rumbling sound or imper- fect hearing, and when It is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflam- mation can betaken out and tide tuberestor- ed to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; ulna cavesi out of ten aro • caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfacee.

Accident, not necessity, was the par- ent of the invention of refleeting light- houses. During a meeting of it mathe- matical society at Liverpool some years ago one oe, the members laid a wager that he could read a newspaper para- graph at ten yards distance by the light of a farthing candle. This lie succeeded in doing by covering the inside' of an earthen dish with putty and sticking bits of looking glass on it, and then placing this reflector behind the candle, Captain Hutchinson, a dockinaster, was present, and from this experiment he , gained the idea, froin which he evolved the reflecting lighthouse as built in Lie- erpool.
