The Salta In the Ocean. The salts of the sea have fed through out all time countless living things which have througed its water and whose remains now form the rocks of continents or lie spread in beds of un known thickness over CG,000,000 square miles of the 143,000,000 square miles of the ocean’s floor. They have lent the substance to build the fringing reefs of the land and all the coral islands of the sea, and there are at present on the basis of an average salinity of 3Vj per cent in the 290,700,000 cubic miles of water which make up the ocean’s 1 90,000,000,000,000,000 tons, or 10,173, 000 cubic miles, of salt. This is suffi cient to cover the areas of all the lands of the earth with a uniform layer of salt to a depth of 1,000 feet. ' a HEARTY LAUGH. ' t It Is ft Dleiftiitx. Tliin Reflex of a San* ■ hiny Sonl. The cold, chilling atmosphere which sometimes pervades a reception or oth er social gathering is often entirely dissipated by the hearty, ringing laugh ter of some simple, genuine soul who Is bubbling over with fun. The stiff ness and constraint which a minute before embarrassed the whole com pany are relieved as if by magic. There is something in genuine, spon taneous humor which removes all re straint, scatters embarrassment, re lieves tension and welds souls together as no introduction or conversation can. It puts the shy at ease, dissipates prej udice, gives confidence to the timid and reassures the shrinking soul. The cheery smile or the spontaneous laugh awakens sympathy and arouses feel ings of friendliness. It seems to melt all barriers. Oh, what riches live in a sunny soul! What a blessed heritage is a sunny face, to bfe able to fling out sunshine wherever one goes, to be able to scat ter the shadows and to lighten sorrow laden hearts, to have power to send cheer into despairing souls through a sunny and a radiant heart! And if, haply, this heritage is combined with a superb manner and exquisite per sonality, no money wealth can com pare with its value. This blessing is not very difficult of acquisition, for a sunny face is but a reflection of a warm, generous heart. The sunshine does not appear first upon the face, but in the soul. The glad smile that makes the face radiant is but a glimpse of the soul’s sunshine. —O. S. Marden in Success Magazine. UNIQUE FEATS. Odd Physical Tricks That People Here and There Can Do. A group of traveling men were dis cussing unique feats and physical tricks that people here and there can do. “1 know a Chicagoan,” said one, “who can whistle a tune and hum its accompaniment at the same time. He whistles through a flat, not through tho usual round hole, and the deep, musical accompaniment together with the shrill sweetness of the whistle makes a mighty attractive thing to hear.” “I knew a barber,” said the second drummer, “who had a unique way of cracking nuts. Ho wrould place a nut between the back of his head and a stone or brick wall, and then he would give himself a sharp rap on the fore head with his fist. The nuts would crack open every time.” “A Manayunk man,” said the third, “can give his head a jerk that turns back his eyelids. He has to turn them down again with his fingers. This is an ugly feat, and I’m glad It is rare.” “I knew at school,” said the fourth drummer, “a boy named Bucky Ad ams who could play tunes by snapping his fingers. The thumb and first two fingers of each hand would work away busily, and forth would come the clear est, sweetest, faintest music. I used to sit with Bucky Adams, and many a tedious school session would he make shorter and pleasanter with this odd gift.”—-New York Press. i urc uuve uu. If olive oil congeals in freezing weather, it is a sign that it is adulter ated with lard. Very few bottles of so called olive oil will stand this simple test—in fact, we seldom get the pure thing, and, if we did, the chances are that we could not eat it. At least, that was the experience once upon a time of one woman who used a great deal of mayonnaise dressing upon her table and had supposed that she doted on olive oil. An Italian friend bestowed upon her a flask of the peculiarly green fluid. To her surprise, not one of her family, herself included, could bear its taste. There was a tang to it which showed them that they had never eaten olive oil before and that they never wanted to eat it again. So they gave the flask away.—New York Telegram. Thackeray’s Apology. Thackeray once wrote in a note to a friend, alluding to an incident occa sioned by one of his articles in Punch: “I thought over the confounded matter in the railroad and wrote instantly on arriving here a letter of contrition and apology to Henry Taylor for having made what I see now was a flippant and offensive allusion to Mrs. Taylor. I am glad I have done it. I am glad that so many people whom I have been thinking bigoted and unfair and un just toward me have been right and that I have been wrong, and my mind is an immense deal easier.” A Great Idea. “My new play is sure to make a hit,” said the great actress. “It gives me an opportunity to display twenty new gowns." “Gracious!” exclaimed her friend. “How many acts?” “Only four, but in one of them the scene’s at a dressmaker’s.”—Philadel phia Press. Talents. As to the great and commanding tal ents, they are the gift of Providence in some way unknown to us. They rise where they are least expected. They fail when everything seems disposed to produce them, or at least to call them forth.—Burke. Evolution. "There is an old proverb that a man becomes what he eats.” “Then I suppose all the cannibals will be missionaries in time.”—Cleve land Leader. Philosophy does not regard pedigree She did not receive Plato as a noble but made him^ so.—Seneca. The O'NEILL BOTTLING WORKS R.
