"Few of you seeui to thluk," he con

It certainly hadn't struck one old

wife that the vicar bad called her a
heroine.
Whatever does that mean?" asked
the good lady.
"Oh. it means a woman who stays In

"Then I'm not a heroine, an I'll

The chemical philosophers have dls-

by an acid emits a vapor lighter than
the atmospherical air. This vapor is
caught, among other means, by tylnis
a bladder compressed upon the bottle
In which the dissolution is performed.
The vapor, rising, swells the bladder
and fills It. The bladder is then tied
nd removed und another applied till
as much of this light air is collected as
Is wanted. Then a large spherical
ase is uiude, and very large it must
be, of the lightest matter that can be
found, secured by some method like
that of oiling silk against all passage

bladders of light ulr, and if there Is

bottle filled with water will sink In

will float. It rises till it comes to air
of equal tenuity with its own if wind
or water does not spoil it on the way.

Long Words.
While our language does not contain
such long words ns are found In some
other tougues nor so nmny words of
unusual length, still we have several
that are awkwurdly long for conversa
tional purposes. We have 'philopro-
genltlvenesH." with twenty letters; "in-
terconvertlbllltles." with twenty-one;
"intercomiuunliahllltles," with twenty
two; "disproportlonableness," with
twenty-three, and "trnnssubstautlatlon-
allsts" ond "contradlstlngulshablllty,"
each containing twenty-four letters. An
effective little word Is "synacategore-
nmtlc," as It manages to compress
eight syllables Into seventeen letters.
The longest monosyllables contain
nine letters, and there are four ex
amples: "splotched," "squelched,"
"strengths" and "stretched." New
york Tribune.
Printers' Marks.
Tho Interrogation mark or "point"'
(?) was originally a "q" and an "o,"
tho latter placed under the former.
They wero simply the first and last
letters of the Latin word "questlo."
So, too, with the sign of exclamation
or Interjection (!). In Its original pu
rity It was a combination of "1" and
"o," the latter underneath, as In the
question mark. The two stood for
'lo," the Latin exclamation of Joy.
The paragraph mark Is a Greek "p,"
the Initial of the word paragraph. The
early printers employed a dagger to
show that a word or sentence was ob
jectionable and should U cUt out
