xvw tales are told which are
wLUU that or the encounter In
liner
earlier
years with the old Bernadotte himself
The king had referred to the Norwe
gians as my Poles at which Ole Bull
drawing himself up inquired When
has a Norwegian shown himself dis
loyal to the king Then without
waiting for an answer he announced
that he must nt once take leave Upon
this the king turned to him with an
Imperious I command you to stay
But the violinist shrugged his shoul
ders and replied Then 1 will see sire
whether a Norwegian remains free In
the palace of the king of Sweden At
this as Ole Bull would tell when re
counting the scene there came into the
face of the monarch the most winning
smile he had ever seen on a human
countenance and putting out his hand
impulsively Bernadotte exclaimed
Nay I heg you to remain A prince
should hear the opinions of all his peo
ple And the talk which then resulted
was the basis of deep conudeuce on
both sides Century
IfeinecUen the German Prodlsry
Christian Henry Helnecken the most
wonderful of all the worlds precocious
prodigies was born at Lubeck Ger
many In the year 1721 When but nine
and a half months of age this human
wonder could pronounce every word
contained In the German language and
before he had rounded out hid iirst year
of earthly existence he knew all the
leading events of the worlds history
At the age of fourteen months he could
give chapter and verse of any quoted
passage of the Scriptures and knew
the history of every book in both the
Old and New Testaments At the age
of two and a half years he could an
swer every question in the geographies
and histories then in use and could con
verse with visitors in either German
French Dutch Latin or Greek Ilis
fourth year was devoted to the study
of religion and ancient history He had
finished the studies mentioned and had
started ou a course in oriental religion
when he suddenly died before complet
ing his fourth year
Three Boys ami a Cioek
Three boys in a house were told ti
go and take the exact tiine by a clock
in the town The first lad wont look
ed at the clock came back and paid
It is 12 oclock In after life he
became a prosaic bookseller
The second boy was more exact Ho
said on returning that it was three
minutes past 12 He became a doctor
The third lad looked at the clock
found out how long it had taken him
to walk back to the house returned to
the clock then added the time of his
walk to the time of the clock and re
ported the result thus It is at this
moment 12 hours 10 minutes and 13
seconds That boy came to distinction
as Helmholtz the scientist
A Divided Church
There is a very striking instance of
religious toleration in Heidelberg an
ancient city of Germany One of the
most important buildings of that town
is the Church of the Holy Ghost
Through the middle of this building
a partition wall has been run so that
services according to the Roman Cath
olic and the Protestant ritual may be
held at the same time In the year
1719 an attempt was made by Charles
Philip the Elector to deprive the Frot
estants of their half of the church but
the townspeople made so strong a re
sistance that he was obliged to desist
and even to remove the electoral court
from Heidelberg toMannheim Lon

Kumlilc Pie
There is a queer twist of language In
the phrase to eat humble pie The
word humble is a corrupted form of
the original numble which is an in
edible part of the carcass of a deer and
would make very poor pie The words
humble pie have the same original
meaning as to eat crow a phrase
common in political life There is an
enforced humility in this process and
the change from numble to humble
Introduced a thought which harmo
nized with the idea sought to be ex
pressed The last form of the phrase
has entirely supplanted the original
Ills Expenses
One of the candidates at an election
in Derbyshire England was a new
comer not remarkable for his generos
ity He found himself defeated at the
polls and bade adieu to the electors
with the words At any rate ladies
and gentlemen my wife and I have
spent a very happy fortnight in the
peak Yes came a sudden retort
from the crowd and thats all you
have spent
The Modest Girl
Ah my love sighed the ardent
lover if you only knew how beautiful
you are
You mustnt speak of it protested
the modest girl I dont want to
know
Why not
Because she said it would make
me too conceited Philadelphia Press

My motto said the new lodger

A Heartfelt Tribute to a Frlonrt j
A menu of former United
Marshal Isaac O Barnes having died
he attended the funeral He arrived
promptly and seated himself in tl
crowded room to await the service
For some reason there was a very lon
delay and the solemn silence ai th
darkened room was anything but con
genial to a man of Mr Barnes diio
sitiou The heat also was very opress
Ive
Fanning himself vigorously with his
bat and twisting uneasily in his chair
Barnes remained silent for what to
him was a very long time But at last
being unable to contain himself longer
he leaned over toward a solemn lock
ing man on his right and remarked in
a hoarse whisper audible all over the
room I presume you were well ac
quainted with Billy referring to the
deceased
Yes Indeed said the stranger IK
was a vary line man
I should say he was replied
Barnes and smart too smarter than
lightning Why sir he continued in a
louder whisper getting excited if he
had had the running of this funeral
hed been underground an hour ago

Antiquity of Wood Enprravlnpr
Wood engraving the art of cutting
designs on wood in relief is said to
have been known and practiced by the
Chinese as far back in the worlds his
tory as the rign of the famous Em
peror Wu Vang 1120 B C Wood
stamps were without doubt used by
the ancient Egyptians and Romans lo
marking brick and other articles of
clay and in various European countries
for attesting deeds and documents at
a very early period when writing was
quite a rare accomplishment Wood
engraving as we now understand it
dates from the beginning of the fif
teenth century and was used at that
time In Germany for printing playing
cards and ligures of saints The earli
est known example is in a collection
made by Earl Spencer It represents
St Christopher carrying the infant
Saviour across the sea and was found
pasted within the cover of a Latin
IIS in an old convent In Bavaria

OriK in of tle Metric System
Some very interesting facts have
been collected about the foot the most
widely used measure of length in mod
ern times The measure is derived
from the length of the human foot but
apparently has varied more than that
portion of the skeleton can possibly
have done in historic times The an
cient Welsh foot for Instance was
nine inches long whereas the Piedmont
foot was twenty inches In modern
times it has varied from the Span
ish foot of less than eleven inches to
the Venice foot of more than thirteen
inches Almost every country has used
a foot measure of a different length It
was this confusion which led the
French to devise the metric system
Han Jaipurs Grain Goluli
A curious instance of the magnifi
cence of eastern ideas and admiration
for tilings that are large Is the grain
golah to be seen at Bankipur in
Bengal India It was built as a gran
ary in 1TS3 but never used as such
Its Avails are of masonry twelve feet in
thickness and it stands ninety feet
high with a circumference of forty
three feet at the base and would con
tain about loOOOO tons of grain Ac
cess to the interior is obtained by a
staircase on the outside leading to a
platform on the top where there Is a
stone placed in the center which can
be removed Now it is perhaps the
finest whispering gallery In the world
Smothered Pif
There is a fish In Hawaiian waters
which Is known by the native name
of humuhumunukunukukuapuaa which
means literally sewing up the nose
The Hawaiian method of killing a pig
to be roasted is to smother it not cut
its throat and it Is smothered by sew
ing up the pigs mouth and nose This
fish with the long name has spines
which in ancient times were used as
needles to sew up the pigs mouth
hence the name more fully means the
fish that provides the needles for sew
ing up the nose of the pig

Baking powders made from alum phosphates and other
harsh caustic acids are lower in price but they are injurious to
the stomach
The injurious effect of alum on the mucous coat of the
stomach is positive and beyond dispute it is both an irritant
and an astringent The use of alum in any article of food or
article used in the preparation of food should be prohibited
