farmhouses with narrow dark win

One passageway leads to a large open

whole house and everything in it An
other passage leads to another kitchen
with a modern stove The walls are
all of turf as is the roof with just
enough driftwood in the roof to make
a framework to hold it in place Very
steep stairs lead up to the badstofa
or sleeping apartment The badstofa
frequently forms the sitting and com

room of the entire household
Bunks built into the wall extend
around the room and are often filled
with seaweed or feathers over which
Is thrown a fold or two of wadmal

i SAW ITS STRONG POINT
Story of Harrimans First Purchase of
a Railroad
One morning in the early eighties
Harriman walked into his office and
without any previous warning an
nounced the purchase of his first rail
road
Whered you get the money for it
asked his partners
Never mind I got it said Harri
man
The road was the Sodus Bay and
Southern running from Lake Ontario
to Stanley N Y It was thirty four
miles long and owned two crippled lo
comotives two passenger cars and sev
en freight cars
It isnt even a real good streak of
rust said a man who looked over it
for him
Harriman pulled out his map He
was studying railroad maps even then
Its got the best harbor on the
lake he said The Pennsylvania
road has got to buy It
He started to build a big grain ele
vator and to improve the track A few
months later he disappeared from his
office for several days and returned
with a check for 200000 He had
sold his road to the Pennsylvania rail
road
They had to have it he said
They saw it as soon as I showed it to
them
But I saw it first he added Mc

THE SOUP PLATE
A Seventeenth Century Cookbook
Tells Why It Was Invented
A valet of Louis XIV published a
cookbook in 1G55 in which he gives as
follows the reason for the invention of
the hollow soup plate
The plates of the guests will be hol
low In order that they may help them
selves to as much soup as they may
want without being obliged to take It
spoonful by spoonful because of the
disgust they may have for one another
on seeing the spoon go from the mouth
to the tureen
Guests it will be seen used their
own spoons to fill their plates the
large spoon to be used for serving the
soup not being invented till some time
j later
Yet even a hundred years after the
invention of the soup plate 1749 a
1
work on civility advised that all the
dishes should be so placed on the table
that every one could reach them with
his spoon and that if the soup was
served in a dish tureen every one
should help himself with his own
spoon without seeming to be in a hurry
A work on manners that appeared
just before the French revolution
f deemed it best to advise Its readers
that It was Impolite to pass the spoon
back and forth between the mouth and
the tureen
Difficult Horseback Feat
There are no better horsemen in the
world than the cavalry officers of the
Italian army yet even among them
there are very few who could perform
the feat achieved by one of them To
run an ordinary foot race is easy
enough but to run at full speed for
several hundred yards holding in one
hand a spoon on which rests an ess
and to reach the goal without dropping
the egg is a feat which must be prac
ticed carefully a long time before it
can be performed successfully and as
a result there are not many who can
be sure of accomplishing it whenever
they try Great therefore was the
surprise when an Italian officer mount
ed on horseback performed this diffi
cult feat Moreover he selected a
course in which there were two or
three high fences and these he cleared
at full gallop without losing the egg
Time For Stillness
Mrs MacLachlan was kind to her
American boarder but she did not pro
pose to allow her to overstep the limits
of a boarders privileges and she made
it very clear One Suuday the boarder
returning from a walk found the win
dows of her room which she had left
wide open tightly closed
Oh Mrs MacLachlan I dont like my
room to get stuffy she said when she
went downstairs again I like plenty
of fresh air
Your room will na got stuffy in one
day said her landlady firmly Twas
never our custom miss to hae fresh
air rooshin about the house on the

Madam replied the merchant he
was too strong He broke all the rules

SIGNED IN A HURRY
Curious Incident That Brought
Savages to Terms
the
During one of those terrible storms
which periodically sweep the shores
of Formosa an American vessel was
wrecked and the crew eaten by the
aborigines The nearest American
consul thereupon journeyed inland to
the savage territory in order to make
terms with the cannibals for future
emergencies
Unfortunately the chiefs refused to
listen and would have nothing to do
with the agreement prepared for their
signature
The consul was irritated by their ob
stinacy He had a bad temper and a
glass eye and when he lost the first
the second annoyed him Under great
stress of excitement he occasionally
slipped the eye out for a moment rub
bed it violently on his coat sleeve then
as rapidly replaced it This he did
there in the council hut utterly for
getful of his audience and before a
soul could say the Formosan equiva
lent of Jack Robinson
The chiefs paled stiffened shudder
ed with fright One with more pres
ence of mind than his fellows called
for a pen
Yes quick a pen the word passed
from mouth to mouth No more obsti
nacy no more hesitation all of them
clamored to sign willing even eager
to yield to any demand that a man
gifted with the supernatural power of
taking out his eye snd replacing it at
pleasure might make
FORCE OF LIGHTNING
An Ordinary Stroke Is About Equal to
Fifty Thousand Horsepower
the effect of a stroke of lightning
which splinters a large tree or wrecks
a tall chimney but if the enormous
power developed by an ordinary stroke
of lightning is taken into considera
tion the wonder will be that the effect
Is so small
Scientists estimate that an ordi
nary stroke of lightning is of 50000
horsepower That is force sufficient to
drive the largest battleship ever built
at top speed The lightning stroke
however travels at a speed of 180000
miles per second We think we see a
flash of lightning but as a matter of
fact what we see is only the memory
of a flash The electrical current has
been absorbed by the earth long before
we are conscious of having seen the
flash A person struck by a direct
flash would never see it
The average electromotive force of a
bolt of lightning is about 3000000
volts and the current is 14000000 am
peres In such a bolt there is energy
equal to 2450000 volts or 3284182
horsepower Some day a wizard will
arise who will capture and bind a
bolt of lightning and with it turn all
the wheels of a great city
The timo required for the discharge
of a bolt of lightning is about one
twenty thousandth of a second Chi

Nothing to Do
The following bit quoted from Lord
Cromer nelen Barrett Montgomery
in her Western Women In Eastern
Lands presents a- picture of the mo
notony and deprivation of the life of
the Egyptian lady that pages of statis
tics might fail to convey The seclu
sion of women exercises a most bane
ful Influence on eastern society This
seclusion by confining the sphere of
womans interest to a very limited ho
rizon cramps the intellect and withers
