R 'IT 1 PAYS TO ADVERTISE I TIIE TIMES • PEERS AS MAYORS. Generous 10 Oitice, l irot lyse. for Others to Follow. The Earl of Londesborough has de- clined the honor of acting as Mayor of Scarborough in the ensiling year. The present Mayor, Mr. Morgan, and other members of the 'Lown Council, visited the Earl and ex- plained that it was 011e unanimous wish of the •Town Council that he should accept the office. For private reasons, Lord Londes- borough said it was impossible for him to undertake the duties; but he promised to do his best to help the Council in the event of a royal visit to the town next year, when it is hoped the Prince of Wales will open the new marine drive around the foot of the Castle Hill. Lord Londesborough's decision will cause much disappointment to the townspeople. The appeal to Lord Londesborough has caused the question to be asked whether peers make ornamental or I useful mayors, Opinions differ on ' this point, but so far the peers who have been mayors have always made themselves popular, and, above all, have spent plenty of money during their year of office. Among peers who have been mayors are the following: The Duke of Devenshire, Eas. bourne. The Duke of Bedford, Holborn. The late Marquis of Bute, Cardiff. The Earl of Warwick, Warwick. Tho Earl of Derby, Liverpool. Earl de La Warr, Bexhill. Lord Windsor, Cardiff, Lord St. Levan, Devonport. A civic authority discussed the question of peers as mayors, and seemed inclined to think that, on the whole, peers make' useful mayors. "As you will notice, all the peer - mayors have held office in towns in which they had great interests. Take the Duke of Devonshire, for instance. Eastbourne, of which he was mayor, is practically owned by him, and the same remark applies to the late Marquis of Bute, whose interests in Cardiff were enormous. "Then, again, we have Lord de La Warr, at Bexhill, who owns half the town, and in the case of the Duke of ,Bedford, his vast property in Hol- born, of which ho was mayor, speaks for itself, "The chief reason why boroughs like a peer for their mayor is that he will spend plenty of money and on official occasions adds a special distinction to his office. "From a business standpoint, too, a peer -mayor is a decided acquisition to the town, as should royalty or any other very distinguished person visit it he often pays all the ex- penses of the visit, and so relieves the townspeople of a heavy addition to their rates. "On the other hand, a peer -mayor is bad so far as his successors are concerned, as they cannot hope to entertain like he did, and in conse- quence it is always hard to find a man willing to take office immediate- ly atter the term of a peer's mayor- alty has finished." Like Charles 11.'s Fish Story. A correspondent of Nature asks for evidence, if there is any, in support of the almost universal belief among drivers, owners and builders of car- riages that if the distance betw,•tn the force and hind wheels of vehicles be increased the draft will become heavier. No reason is given for the belief, and no explanation of it is offered, but a carriage builder to whom the correspondent in question submitted a test case in which two carriages were of exactly the same height, but with the body of one much longer than that of the other, was sure that the former would be the heavier to move. It seems to us that this is a platter in which the facts should he settled by experi- ments before the theory is investi- gated. Every one remembers how Charles II. asked the Royal Society why if a fish were put into a full bucket of water the water did not overflow and when they had exhaust- ed themselves in learned explanations suggested that they should get a fish and a bucket and see what happen- ed then. There ought to be no diffi- culty in testing how much power the long and the short carriage respec- tively require, and if . it proves to be the same the question is answer- ed without more ado.—London Globe. The Iron Duke and Ills Handwriting. "As even a trifling detail connected with the Duke of Wellington cannot fail to be interesting. I will here mention," says Lady Bloomfield iu a paper full of interesting reminiscen- ces which appears in The Pall Mali Magazine, "a circumstance related to me by Lord Charles Wellesley, At the time niy brother-in-law, Charles, fourth Earl of IIardwicke, was in office in Lord Derby's Government, he had occasion to write on business to the Duke of Wellington; but his writino was so illegible the duke could not read it, so he wrote to Lord Hardwicke to tell hire so, giv- ing his letter, as was his custom, to Mr. Arbuthnot, his secretary, to copy. But . . . Mr, .Arbuthnot was unable to decipher the duke's writ- ing, and in despair took it to Lord Charles Wellesley, aleY, who in turn could not read it; so there was nothing to be done but to take the said letter back to the duke, who took it with considerable signs of impatience, looked at it aid then, throwing it into the fire, exclaiined, ' Ton my soul, I cannot read it myself!' „ Will Adorn the Chair. Alderman John Pound, the Lord Mayor -elect of London, says The Star, is a packing -case maker in a large way of business in Leadenhall street, but he is better known as the Chairman for niftily- years of the London (general Omnibus Company, whose vehicles should loofa largo in v the procession of N o e bmbe r 9.

A y'eal<etiioa. with at Pestirrree, Of all the plants used for food there is none which bus been so tong known or has had, so to say, so distinguished it lineage us asparagus. Its record, in fact, reaches back to almost the com- mencement of authentic history, as it is mentioned by the eomie poet Cra- tinus, who died about 425 B. C., and was a contemporary of though slight- ly older than Aristophanes. Among the Rowans also the tasty vegetable was held in high esteem, Cato the eider—not the gentleman who was of opinion that Plato reasoned well, but his great-grandfather, who Insisted upuw the destruction of Car - tinge and who was born 243 B. C.— wrote a work, which is still extant, "De Re Rustica," au& in it he treats at length of the virtues and proper culti- vation of asparagus. Pliny also in his "Natural history" (about 60 A, p.) has much to say on the subject. "Of all the productions of your garden," he feelingly observes, "your chief care will be your asparagus," and he de- votes several chapters and parts of chapters to its many beneficent quali- ties and the best. modes of raising it. Indian Mothers and Dolls. When an Indian girl dies her mother often substitutes a doll for her lost lit- tle one. She fills the empty cradle with feathers, arranged in the form of the child, and carries this around with her wherever she goes, talking to it and caressing it as she would her loving child. If she does not do this she ties In a tight bundle the toys, clothes and arm- lets which belonged to her little one and, fastening this to the cradle board, carries it as she bad formerly done her child. The Ojibways call these "unlucky dolls," because they represent the dead. The reason the Indian mother carries her "doll" in this. pathetic way is be- cause she thinks that the little dead child is too small to find its way to paradise. By substituting the doll it will help along until the dead baby has grown large enough to make its way to the spirit land alone. At least this is what the sad Indian mother believes. Animal Arithmetic. A certain Mr. Tiniotieff was the hap- py possessor of a dog that was able to calculate with precision. One day, having been fed a large platter of chicken bones, he found twenty-six left over when his appetite was satis- fied. These he proceeded to bury care- fully in different places, as all dogs do. The day following he dug up and ate twenty-five, went to sleep, suddenly woke up, apparently with something on bis mind, hesitated a moment, dug up his twenty-sixth bone, ate it and went to sleep, this time soundly. Birds count well. They usually know the number of eggs they are hatching. EIere is something odd: A. half tamed nightingale was always given three beetles as a sort of dessert. If he re- ceived but two he waited impatiently for the third. If three were given to him he ate them up and flew away without waiting for more. Remedy For Burns. For a dry burn, carron oil. Shake the bottle, saturate a soft cloth with the mixture and lay over the burn. Then cover closely with cotton batting or flannel to keep out every bit of air and secure the, whole with a light bandage. Burns may also be treated by a thick application of any bland oil, vaseline, sweet oil, castor oil, butter, cold cream or any fat not rancid, excepting glyc- erin, which is too irritating. Soft pow- ders may also be dusted on—flour, laun- dry or corn starch. For a burn by scald or steam apply a dressing of saturated soda. Moon Phases. The phases of the moon may be ex- plained by the fact that the moon is a dark spherical body which shines only by reflected light. The new moon, popularly so called, is seen only when the sky is sufficiently dark to present a complete outline of the disk. This illumination is due to the light which comes first from the sun, is reflected to the earth and back to the moon and thence to the earth. What we really see iii the earth light shining ou the moon. Keeping In Touch With Oneself.

Dean Hole's Wit. On one occasion Dean IIole, the well known English clergyman, with Mrs. Hole, tended at Dover. much exhaust- ed, after a rough crossing of the Eng- lish channel. While waiting for the train the dean pored over the railway regulatio,r a, "Ab," be said, addressing the statihn inspector, "It's one consola- tion after such a crossing and this tiresome wait that we go back at half price." "1 don't understand, sir," was the official's reply. "'There Is no special reduction." "Oh, yes, there Is," said the dean. "I've Just been reading all your notices, and you state that you take returned empties at much reduced rate." Once when the dean was play- 1 ing whist for threepenny points he ap- peared to be very well provided with I threepenny bits, "Ah," his opponent rewarked, "have you the offertory with you?" "What, sir," the dean answered, ' "do you recognize your miserable con- tributions?" . The Distant Stars. Speaking roughly, we have reason, from the data so far available, to be- lieve that the stars of the Milky Way are situated at a distance .,etween 100,000,000 and 200,000,000 times the distance from the sun. At distances less than this it seems likely that the stars are distributed through space with some approach to uniformity. We may state as a general conclusion indi- cated by several methods of making the estimp.te that nearly all the stars which we can see with our telescopes are contained within a sphere not like -I ly to be niuc'h more than 200,000,000 times the distance of the sun. Granting that all the stars we can see are contained within this limit, may there not be any number of stars without the limit which are invisible only because they are too far away to be seen?—Simon Newcomb in Harper's Magazine. Too Easy Success. Success in literature early in a writ- er's career is often a serious misfor- tune, writes Julius Chambers in the Pittsburg Dispatch. I distinctly recall a conversation with Prank It. Stock- ton regarding "The Lady or the Tiger?" that illustrates this point. "Never was I so near starvation since I began to write as after the publication of 'The Lady or the Tiger?' " said Mr. Stock- ton. "For nearly two years everything I offered for sale was sent back with the curt explanation that it did not compare with that story. 'The Lady or the Tiger?' was made a standard by which everything was judged. Prior to its publication I had trouble in sell- ing my matter, and that very story had been offered to every publisher in New York before it was accepted." Women Speakers. Women speak best when they retain their seats at table, the very fact that they are standing and facing their au- diences having a tendency to give the bravest of women stage fright. Wom- en orators have the advantage over men in knowing that their attire will have much to do with keeping the at- tention of their audience. A pretty wo- man in a pretty gown, a fan, a muff, a jewel, will hold the eyes of the women listeners even if they do not care much for the speech.—What to Eat. An Apt Retort. In the biography of Dr. Hawtrey, a famous English schoolmaster, there Is a description of his unkempt appear- ance, with a comment which has been greatly quoted. It is said that he was scolding for being late at morning les- sons a boy, who replied that he had no time to dress. "But I can dress in tine," said the doctor. "Yes," replied the boy, "but I wash."
