Wo Do It on the Fourth.
It is curious that the Fourth of July
hoo become the American day of cele
bration, since it wns on July U that
coiitfress passed the really Important i
motion tor Independence, and the
Fourth only saw the adoption of the
Declaration. John Adams wrote to hl3
wife: "The 2d day of July. 17TC. will
bo the most memorable epoch in the '
history of America. I ntn.npt to be
lieve that It will be celebrated by suc
ceeding generations as the great anni
versary festival. It ought to be com
memornted as the day of deliverance
by solemn acts of devotion to God Al
mighty. It ought to be solemnized
with pomp and parade, with shows,
games, sports, guns, befls. bonfires and
Illuminations from one end of this con
tinent to the other from this time for
ward for evermore." But they do it

How Loch Awe Was Formed.
Highland tradition gives n quaint ex
planation of tho creation of Loch Awe.
that noble mirror of the mountains in
tho magnificent scenery of Argyllshire.
The bed of tho loch wns once, It Is
said, a fertile valley, with n fairy
spring, which had nlwnys to be kept
covered, bubbling from the mountain
side. A careless girl, however, hav
ing drawn water, forgot to recover tho
well. All through tho night tho spring
flowed, and by the morning Loch Awe
had come into being. No one need re
gret the carelessness of that highland
lassie. Loch Awe is now ono or the
most exquisite of beauty spots in Great
Britain a charming sheet of water,
studded with pretty islands, while
around tho shores are many places as
sociated with interesting legends and
historic Incidents of the highlands.

Greek Wind Vanes.
The Greeks as far back ns the fifth
century B. O. wore the first to make
regular meteorological observations,
some results of which still are pre
served. Their great capacity for pure
science Induced them to propound me
teorological theories. At this time
they used wind vanes, and In the first
century B. 0. they built the tower of
wind at Athens. Tho first quantita
tive obervntlons-that is. the meas
urement of rain- were mnde In the
first century A. D. These were made
In Palestine, and their results nro pre
served In the Mlshnah.
Salt In tho Coffin.
In ret tu in localities in tho old world
they put salt In the colli n before it Is

survival ot tin ancient custom which
wns once universal The custom giew
out of the Idea that Satan hates salt
because it Is the symbol of tueorrup
tlon and immortnllty.

"It's a bad thing to talk about your

"That's right" replied the man who
