Eating Those who have partaken of peacock declare that gorgeous bird to be decid edly tough eating while it is said of the swan that the fact of its ever hav ing been a familiar dish speaks highly In favor of ancient English cutlery Moreover it should not be forgotten that when bustards and boars heads were as common as sirloins and sad dles now are there were scarcely any vegetables to eat with them Why He Was Timid Why do you avoid the man to whom I introduced you He is very agree able and interesting I avoid meeting agreeable and in teresting people answered the mis anthrope That was how I

Occasion Ih the middle of the gold room was n 3Xiir M fountain Around this the days proceedings began writes T Hendrick In the American Magazine Jay Goulds own brokers pale haggard half dis trustful and half ashamed of their work started the bids Gold had closed the day previously at 144 Now a Gould broker offered 145 for 100000 gold His only response were the curses and fist shakings of a bedraggled per spiring crowd One hundred and forty six for 100 000 gold Still there was no response One hundred and forty seven Each advancing point meant millions in profits to Gould and likewise mil lions In losses to the community At every advance the crowds losing all restraint alternately roared and wept One hundred and forty eight One hundred and forty nine Above the pandemonium the monot onous voices of the Gould brokers could be heard quietly remorselessly putting up the price One hundred and fifty One hundred and fifty one At this point the buying began Hith erto the crowd had been held magical ly spellbound The audacity of the Gould brokers had paralyzed all Board brokers were particularly dazed In face of the cliques demonstrated pow er no one seemed able to bid even to make the feeblest attempt to check the terrible rise A few uptown merchants now how ever started to purchase Soon the bidding degenerated Into panic Ev ery one scrambled to get his gold now while the price judged by what had already happened and the unques tioned power of the gang seemed low All purchases however meant enor mous losses Fortunes accumulated through years of self sacrificing toil were swept away in a moment In their craze men ran aimlessly about the room moaning screaming vainly appealing for help Outside where the crowds breathlessly waited announcements the same scenes were repeated Ruined men unable to get into the building Itself pushed cursed and fought At each rise in the price the rage against Gould Increased When the bid reached 150 there were cries of Lynch Lynch And meanwhile what was the plotter of all this mischief doing He was selling gold To whom was he selling To Fisk and all his own associates He was the only man who really under stood the situation who knew that is upon what a flimsy basis his corner rested He sent Fisk Belden and Speyer Into the gold room to advance the price ostensibly for the benefit of the clique and when it had reached a certain point unloaded on his own ac count He had sold largely unknown to his confederates the day before The Greatest of Rivers The Amazon is the king of streams From first to last It receives over 1200 tributaries of which more than 100 are large sized rivers and rise so far apart and have their floods and ebbs at such different seasons that the Amazon is at about the same height the year around At some points on its lower course one bank is invisible from the other The beholder seems to be looking on a great yellow sea of fresh water When dis covered some tribes of Indians on the lower portion knew nothing of the ex istence of the opposite shore and did not believe that It existed saying that the great river flowed all around the world Its mouth including that of the Para Is 180 miles in width and it is navigable for large sized ocean steamers for 1000 miles from the sea and so vast is the flood that the ocean is tinged yellow for 400 miles from the coast of Brazil The Achaean League The Achaean league was formed by the twelve towns of Achaea for mu tual protection against foreign aggres sion It was broken up by Alexander the Great but reorganized B C 2S0 and again dissolved B C 147 The second of these leagues comprised all the leading cities of the Peloponnesus and indeed most of the cities and states of Greece It was this league which contended with the Romans for the independence of Greece but Its troops being defeated by Metellus at Scarphaea and by Mummius near Cor inth the league was dissolved and all Greece submitted to the Roman domi nation V iJJIMIIi1 liiiHin miT STILL A WORKINGMAN John Dnrni Remains a Labor Leader am Cabinet Minister It is now the Right Hon John Burns P C M P president of the local gov ernment board yet he is the same John Burns who led the great dock handlers strike and who was impris oned for obstructing the public high ways and insisang upon the exercise of the right of free speech He Is now a British cabinet minister and enjoys a salary of 10000 a year but he lives as Blmply and unpretentiously as he did when he worked at his trade as an en gineer or when he had to support him self and his family on the 200 raised for him annually by workingmen in or der that he might devote himself to their interests In the house of com mons and In the London county coun cil no salaries being paid members of these bodies Both In England and in the United States men have begun at the lowest round of the ladder and risen to eminence In the business or pro fessional world and then have had of fices thrust upon them or have thrust themselves into the offices But that Is not the way John Burns came to enter the British cabinet He Is neither a merchant prince a captain of industry a king of finance a corporation lawyer nor even a successful politician in the ordinary acceptation of that term He RMBCSBBBBBBaaMsaSBgBBSaBBSSeBEHRaKIPaBSBH nqsnmcincaiiniiiiTirim maimi i JOHN BURNS M P is not one of the successful men at all so far as success is measured by financial standing He is just a plain workingman today and to emphaze the fact that In rising to power in the government by the votes of working men he has not adopted any of the tra ditions associated with aristocracy he wears his blue serge suit at state din ners when others are in conventional evening dress and he even wore it when he went to Buckingham palace to be sworn in as a member of the kings privy council and to kiss the royal hand on acceptance of the office of president of the local government board On this occasion the king ad dressed him with especial cordiality and told him his objection to wearing court costume need never prevent him from obeying commands to court enter tainments Burns is the first workingman mem ber of the British cabinet and the po sition he has received is a popular rec ognition of the great work he has ac complished in behalf of the wage earn ing classes At forty seven he still works twelve hours a day though he advocates an eight hour day for oth ers His hair and beard are gray but they have been since he was thirty owing to the strenuous experiences he went through in the battle for the rights of his class He has grown somewhat more conservative with years and some of his colleagues now denounce him as an apostate A SHORT LIVED ROMANCE Why Miss Elizabeth and Tom Shevlin Agreed to Qnit The romance of Miss Elizabeth Sher ley the Louisville society belle and Tom Shevlin the famous Yale half back was short lived Soon after the engagement of the Kentucky beauty and the star football player was an nounced Miss Sherley went to Balti more for a visit The young society men rl MISS ELIZABETH SHERLEY of that city made quite a heroine of her partly because of her personal charms and partly because of her be trothal to a football hero Her fiance heard of her popularity among the Bal timore young men and took her to task for receiving their attentions Some correspondence ensued and the engage ment was declared off Miss Sherley says Mr Shevlin objected to my re ceiving the attention of so many men and well we just agreed to quit Sssataigagfeaiig3 fi WONDERFUL PROOF The Ilurcu Glass ns a Demonstra tor of the Suns Heat The suns heat Is so great But an Intelligent young woman In terrupted the scientist impatiently After all she said it is guesswork this talk about the excessive heat of the sun You cant prove any of your claims He was disgusted I cant he cried Why it is tho easiest thing in the world to prove that the sun Is hot enough to melt iron granite the hardest substances known into liquid Into steam How would you make such a proof she asked incredulously With the burning glass said he A burning glass is slightly rounded Thus It bends Into a focus it concen trates upon one small point a number of sun rays The tiniest burning glass catching only a few rays will light a fire set off a gun or bore a red hole In your hand Yes The solar heat which the burning glass collects for us Is the tiniest frac tion of the suns actual heat We can prove this by focusing with our glass rays from a powerful lamp or a great fire We get a small bright spot a lit tle heat but this heat is nothing to compare with the heat of the lamp it self So knowing now that the solar heat which tlie burning glass gives to us Is but a fraction of the heat of the sun we take a burning glass a yard In diameter such glasses have been made for the sole purpose of convincing skep tical persons like yourself and this glass concentrates many hundreds of sun rays for us and it gives us a heat greater than we can obtain in any fur nace a heat that will melt rock Into vapor The scientist smiled triumphantly There Is your proof he said The burning glass will only collect a tiny portion of a burning objects heat and the tiny portion of the suns heat that it gives us Is yet sufficient to change in a jiffy a block of granite into a puff of steam Exchange A FEARFUL PEST The Feroclons Mosquitoes That S vnrm In Scandinavia Hunters find the mosquitoes a terri ble pest In parts of northern Scandina via One writes The warmth of the sun Is rousing our deadly enemies the mosquitoes into active warfare At tacked as we are by a few score of viciously piping skirmishers from the mighty host we have before advancing to look to the joints of our harness and don our gauntlets then in descending the long slope toward our bivouac the scores of the foe are gradually multi plied to hundreds the hundreds to thousands the thousands to myriads till we are at length enveloped in a dense cloud of winged fiends The horses are a distressing sight From nose to tail from hoof to withers their unfortunate bodies are covered with what might be taken at a casual glance for gray blanket clothing but which is really a textile mass of seething insect life so closely set that you could not anywhere put the point of your finger on the bare hide For such small creatures mosquitoes exhibit an astonishing amount of char acter and diabolical intelligence They dash through smoke creep under veil or wristband like a ferret into a rabbit hole and when they can neither dash nor creep will bide their time with the cunning of a red Indian We wore stout dogskin gloves articles with which they could have had no previous acquaintance and yet they would fol low each other by hundreds in single file up and down the seams trying ev ery stitch in the hope of detecting a flaw And the same writer concludes The problem presents itself Why are these vermin so horribly bloodthirsty and so perfectly formed for sucking blood It is one of the great mysteries of nature On the uninhabited stretches of Fin mark they must as a rule exist on veg etable diet the chances of blood so rarely occur Genesis of Cotton In America The first planting of cotton seed in the colonies was in the Carolinas in the year 1G21 when seeds were planted as an experiment in a garden Winthrop says that in 1G43 men fell to the manufacture of cotton whereof we have great stores from Barbados In 173U it was cultivated in the gardens along Chesapeake bay especially in the vicinity of Baltimore and at the open ing of the Revolution it was a garden plant in New Jersey and New York but its real value seems to have been almost unknown to the planters until about 17S0 The Chameleon The American chameleon a small liz ard inhabits various parts of the south ern United States The little animal has the remarkable habit of quickly and completely changing its colors vaiying from brown to yellow
