Kestrel In the Air As the kestrel is to tbe clouds so is the trout to tbe crystal waters Both kestrels and trout display that magical poising as if suspended by invisible threads only now and then when cross currents are encountered is a sign given to show that life itself is not in suspense A brief agitation of the kestrels wings a swishing of the trouts tail the cross current is weathered and bird or fisb poises motionless again And as when walking along we are pulled up in ever fresh wonder by the sight of tbe hovering kestrel so we must needs pause on a bridge when Forgetful there is a trout in the stream below Absentminded Annette belongs to a ne looks his best noising with head club of young women in the west end to the stream a shapely form against of town She went to a bridal

day in August siril i uid class compartments itc so wded that I decided as- we stjirel at a town near tbe Freurh imrd r to change to a first class coach There was a supplement to pay aud tbe only German money I had was In twenty mark pieces The otlicial who made the transfer did not have the proper change and while I was waiting for him to come back with the 12 marks and some pfennigs that

Winter and Richard Mansfield The last days of Mansfield were In expressibly afllicting and sorrowful His condition underwent very many changes his suffering at times was great but slowly be gained a little strength He bad for some time been determined on- a journey to England His passage was engaged for May 4 hut be was uot able to sail I saw him on tbe morniug of Mn 11 1907 I told them I would Me Willy he safd even If 1 w re riy We sat together tor siimi jin f lie did- not speak much nui milu 1 -peak much to bun It seemed best that we should both pretend to believe that be would soon be well but I knew that I should never see him again When he did speak it was little more than a mur mured word or two His mind was busy with the past Several times be mentioned Jefferson and his paintings Studies in green they are be said Once be spoke aloud to himself I have not lived a bad life Presently I rose to go and clasped his hand and said good by At the door I turned to look at him once more He was sitting huddled In bis chair His figure was much emaciated his clothes hung loosely about him his face was pale and very wretched in expression and I saw iu his eyes as he looked at me that he knew our parting was forever I went back aud kissed bis forehead and pressed bis band and so came away We never met again Since then I have stood beside bis grave Life seems to be chiefly made up of farewells like that and memories like these Life and Art of Richard Mans field by William Winter BLOTTING PAPER Its Discovery Was the Result of a Workmans Carelessness Blotting paper was discovered pure ly by accident Some ordinary paper was being made one day at a mill in Berkshire when a careless workman forgot to put in the sizing material It may be imagined what angry scenes would take place in that mill as the whole of the paper made was regarded as being quite useless The proprie tor of the mill desired to write a note shortly afterward and he took a piece of waste paper thinking it was good enough for the purpose To his intense annoyance the ink spread all over the paper All of a sudden there flashed over his mind the thought that this paper would do instead of sand for drying ink and be at once adver tised bis waste paper as blotting The reason the paper is of use in drying ink is that really it is a mass of hairlike tubes which suck up liquid by capillary attraction If a very fine glass tube is put into water the liquid will rise in It owing to capillary at traction Tbe art of manufacturing blotting paper has been carried to such a degree that the product has wonder ful absorbent qualities Tbe original blotting paper was of a pink color due to tbe fact that red rags were used rags which could not be used for making the ordinary pi per as the color could not be remov Id Flere was a method for using the apparently useless matter and so for a long time pink was the predominant color London M A P The Arch The consensus of opinion among the learned is to the effect that the arch was Invented by tbe Romans Some claim that Archimedes of Sicily was the inventor while there are others who would make it to be of Etrurian origin but there can be ho doubt about tbe fact that the Romans were the first to apply the principle to archi tecture The earliest instance of its use is in the case of the Cloaca Max ima or Great sewer of Rome built about 5SS B C by tbe first of tbe Tar quin line of kings a work which is re garded by the historians as being one of tbe most stupendous monuments of antiquity Built entirely without ce ment It is still doing duty after a service of almost twenty five centuries New York American The Word Slave An interesting instance in history of the twisted application of the names of a people is afforded by the case of the word slave Now the Slavi tribes dwelling on the banks of the Dneiper derived their appellation from Slav meaning noble or illustrious In the days of the later Roman em pire vast numbers of these Slavs were taken over by the Romans In the con dition of captive servants and in this way the name of the tribes came In time to carry with it the idea of a low state of servitude the exact antithe sis of its original meaning and one that has survived to this time Where He Belonged Sir said a little blustering man to a religious opponent I say sir do you know to what sect I belong
