The Country Gentleman says of the tteate merit of dandelion, a peat which Tororitom, ians who have some pride in their lawns have found especially burdersome already. If the dandelions have really got the up. per hand, the best way to oveeome them ie. to plow up the lawn, work it all over and; reseed it with a heavy sowing of blue grass. In fact, the survival of the dandelions and the t unnatg out of the grass suggests; that the toil is unsuitable for a lawn.

Ventilation in' the BAC' "Somecustomers have nonsenSical no- tions about the proper wee,' to ventilate - a hat," said a fasaionable hatter. "Itt fact,- they are so whimsical about it that we make the hats without a ven- tilator and try to suit the --wishes of the customer after he has handed his money to the salesman. Many custom - ere will not have a hat ventilated at all. Well, they miss a great deal of comfort and take -long chances for baldness in old age. The English style, and the only one that some buyers will adopt, is k ring of perforated holes in the crown of the hat. In my opinion it is just as well to have no ventilator at all as to put it there. The best way is to have two holes, one on each side of the- hat, just above the band. Thep you get good circulation all the time. There are ways of punching the holes artistically so that they do not detract from the appearance of the hat. But you would be surprised at the number of men who will not have them, some because it is not fashionable and oth- ers because they think the hat will not Wear so well." A Famous Pudding, There is p.o other pudding on earth to which so much honor is paid as the huge beefsteak pudding served up daily at the most famous tavern in London, Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, in Fleet street. This pudding has been served up every day without break for nearly 200 years. • Garrick, Goldsmith and Dr; Johnson used to enjoy it. Every great writer in England makes a point, of eating it today. It is inseparably associated with English literature. Every evening after the pudding is cooked there is a solemn procession. The proprietor of the tavern, bearing the paalding on a. big. dish, goes first, followed by the cooks, the waiters and the entire staff. They bear the pud- ding all around the tavern, the cus- tomers doing homage to it: Then and not till then it may be cut up and eaten. Why Gold Is Rare. Why is gold so rare? Simply because It is heavy. There are only two metals that are heavier --namely, platinum and iridium. Remember that at the begin - Mug the earth was a body of gas. By gradual condensatiota it became liquid, while now the' whole et its IllaSS save only an outer crust much thinner in proportion to the whole bulk than is the shell of an egg would be a fluid but for the fact that it is held together by tre- mendous pressure. Naturally in the course of its formation about a center of attraction the weightier particles composing the globe, gathered .about that center. Accordingly we find that the earth as a whole weighs five times as much as water, while the rocks forming the crust are only about two and a half times as heavy as water.

One bard winter the Eakimes' dogs, being half famished, t dined' on the sealskins, and only the frame was left., The Eskimos have now erected a dog proof tabernacle. Public Officers For Sale.

Tlie Harm Sln. rtes. The use of slang tenti t limit the vocabulary of him who uses' it. Now,' a limited vocabulary is almost as in- convenient at times as a limited purse, and it is far more inelegant.. If there was practically limitless wealth within the reach of him who was minded to take it, it would argue a .certain stu- pidity iu any- one who declined to avail himself of the supply. The same as- sertion holds true with regard to- him who is willing to. limit his choice of words. There is even more to be said than that. There is a limitless wealth of words at our disposal, but the most of us are too stupid to make use of them. , There are about 200,000 words in the English language. The average edu- 'anted person is able in reading to un- derstand perhaps 25,000 words, but most of us who write and speak limit ourselves to about 500 or 000. Indeed, there is a vast -number of fairly intern- • gent people, or people who pass as 1fairly intelligent whose .working vo- cabularies do not comprise more than 800 or 400 words each.—Household. • Dish° n est Croupiers.

The nonchalance of boys who are sure of a dinner, and would disdain as much as a lord to do or say aught to conciliate one, is the healthy attitude of human nature. How is a boy the master of society! Independent, irre- sponsible, looking out from his corner on such people and facts as pass by, he tries and sentences them on their merits, in the swift summary ways of boys, as good, bad, _interesting, silly, eloquent, troublesome. He cumbers himself never about consequences, about interests; he gives an independ- ent, genuine verdict You must court him; he does not court you.—Emerson. A flosotchman Who Smoked In Church. Sir Walter Scott in his "Heart of Midlothian" refers to one Duncan of Knockdunder, an important personage, who smoked during the whole of the sermon from an iron pipe tobacco bor- rowed from other worshipers. We are told that at the end of the discourse he knocked the ashes out of his pipe, replaced it in his sporran, returned the tobacco pouch to its owner and joined in the prayer With decency and atten- ' tion. Bottles and Souls. _ "Blow into anempty bottle," says the oriental proverb, "and you shall get a great response swiftly. It is not so with a full bottle, which answereth not, being too heavy with wine. Therein is the soul like these, and from the full soul cometh no echo to . words idly chanted, but the empty soul repeateth back each noise aloud." Geology of the, Heart. "No," said Maude pensively; "neither Henry nor Charles for me. That's clear.

The Name Mose*. it Is a curious fact, unknown per- haps to a majority of readers, that Moses of Scriptural fame was called by eight different names in various places in the Bible. Batista the daugh- ter of Pharaoh, called him Moses be- cause she drew him out o the water. Jochebed, his mother, caile1 him Jeku- thiel, saying, "I had hope1 for him." Miriam, his sister, called hiba Jared because she had descend after him Into the water to see w1iit his end would be. Aaron called Ibis brother Abi Zanuch because his fa her had de- serted their mother. Amram, the fa- ther of Moses, called the •oy Chahar because he was again reu 'ted to the mother of the lad. Kehata, the grandfathe of Moses, called him Abigdor becau God had repairedthe breach in t e house of Jacob. The nurse of the randfather of Moses called him Abi So ho because he was- once hidden thr months in the Tabernacle. All Israe called him Shemaitta because "in days God heard their cries and. re cued them from their oppressors."

Sike Word, finiclese.ff Where did that very common Word -"fudge" come from,. and what does it really mean? The appearance of. the word in literature is in the descripUon of the call of Lady Blarney and _Miss Carolina Wilhelmina Amelia Skeggs on the vicar a Wakefield's household: "But previously I should have mention- ed the very itnpolite behavior of Mr. Burchell, who, during his discourse, eat with his face turned to the fire and at the conclusion of every sentence would cry out 'Fudge!' an expression which displeased us all and in some measure dampened the rising spirit of the con- versation." ,Does the' word come from the provincial French ‘ifuche" or the low German "futsch?" Or shall-- we trace it to the story of 1700 quoted tqt the elder Disraeli, "There was, sir, ite our times one Captain Fudge, who al- ways brought home his owners a good cargo of lies, so much that now aboard the ship the sailors, when they hear a great lie told, cry out, `You fudge RI' Fish That ,CannotSIVilln. More than oneespecies of fish is met with which cannot swim, the most sin- gular of which perhaps is the maltha, a Brazilian fish, whose organs of loco- motion only enable it to crawl or Walk or hop, after the manner of a toad, til% which animal this fish to some extent bears a resemblance, and it is provided with a long upturned snout The an- terior (pectoral) fins of the malthas 'which are quite small, are not capable Of acting on the water, but can only4 move backward and forward. Beth these and the ventral and anal fill8 are very different from the similar fins in other fishes and eould not serve for swimming at all. Other examples of- nonswimming fishes include tbe sea horse, another most peculiarly shaped inhabitant of the sea, which resembles the knight in a set of ehessmen, and the starfish. Robins. American robins build plattter and dry grass nests ill tbe crotches of trees, while the little English bird of the same name, only about half al big as its cousin in America, snakes a soft moss nest on the groun& its breast is a yellow, red or scarlet, lunch brighter than the American bird, and it singe even more sweetly, but it is of small value as an insect destroyer., The American robin, on the other hand, has a much duller, quieter coat, a more extended vocabulary, sounding manes distinct notes of warning, real, joy, etc., but not in so sweet a song, and ill an Inveterate worm and. insect banter. With only occasional lapses into vege- it tariai ism, at strawberry and. herrx ripe time, the American robin la reallx one of the most industdous al s -the farirter can have. 4oS1lk'Y That Is Really Tin. _ Of course British critics say that the practice 'of adulterating silk with tin originated in Germany. At any rate, it is common enough now. All silk is mixed -with more or less foreign matter to give It -weight and stability. Vegetable substances were formerly used for the purpose. In dye- ing, silk the necessary boiling reduces its weight about one-fourth, taking out the natural gummy substances. The waight is sometimes restored with tan- nic acid.
