[Chere is scarcely anythi;u in nature it exerts the fascination over every e alike than does an echo, and com mn as it may become there is always '(1ing of mystery about it that holds as with a charn. Of course we all ow that it is ruerely the rellection a sound from some object. as the le of a house or a rock or a hill, but :en we cannot tell how far away the ject is that causes it. Ilere is a way tell every time: Iolding a watch in your hand, shout single syllable, as "Ho!" or "Ha!" d count tI' number of seconds from time you shout till the sound comes ek to you. Now, sound travels at rate of 1.125 feet a second, so the mber of seconds that elapse multi ed by 1,125 will give the distance in t traveled by the voice in going to ! object and back to you again, and e-half of that number will be the inber of feet away that object Is. course the object may be only a v hundred feet away, in which case sound will come back in less than sccond, but you may determine the tance, nevertheless, by calling a igle syllable-"Ha!"-and calling it ain as you hear the echo, not before after It, but just with it. Vith a little practice you can do this. ieat the call ten or twelve times, anting the seconds between the first i1 and the last echo. Suppose, for ample, that the time Is seven sec ds and that you called the syllable i times. Then each echo took seven iths of a second, and the distance, ind in the same way as before, is out 304 feet.-Exchange. VATCHING THE BUILDERS. re Insurance Folks Keep an Eye on Construction Methods. L builder speaking of the watchful ss of fire insurance companies in w York city in the erection of build s in that city says: Insurance companies In placing poll s upon so called fireproof buildings not accept the word of the builders d contractors, nor rest content with evidence submitted by the city ilding department. Their own ex ts make an examination. Such an amination Is made not at the behest politicians or in the Interest of a >up of men, but by technical experts tose reports must be exact, detailed d exhaustive in the interests of -ewd business men. The insurance derwriters have their own corps of pert engineers and fireproof agents the field all of the time. When a -ge building is in course of con uction In New York these experts of underwriters watch every stage of development They have no power stop work on the building as city ilding Inspectors have when the ilding laws are not complied with, t they possess another sort of check dch is fully as effectual. The build , contractors or owners, or all three, 3 notified that further Insurance poll s will not be made on the building til certain remedies are made" ttsburg Press. Earrings. Earrings have always been among i most favorite ornaments of nearly the nations of the world, certainly th those which are called civilized. eed among the Persians, Babyloni s and Carthaginians they were worn men as well as women. They were vays worn by Greek women from era in the "Iliad" down to the Venus Medici, whose ears were pierced for Sreception of earrings.

Many Egyptian rings of very beautiful design have en preserved, and these antique de :ns have been imitated In modern aes.

RMtigo MUiI Lobot, the trOO, Of Dlace of thitidet, as the natives call it, the peak of Kameruns, as the whites call It, is the highest point on the west ern side of the Africati continent. The first view the voyager gets of it who, coming from the northward, has been coasting for weeks along low shores and up the stagnant rivers, fringed with mangrove swamp, is a thing, no man can ever forget. Suddenly, right up out of the sea, the great mountain rises to Its 13,700 feet, while close at hand, to westward, towers the lovely island mass of Fernando Po to its 10,190 feet, and great as is its first charm every time you see it it becomes greater, although it is never the same. Five times I have been in the beautiful bay at its foot and have never seen it twice alike. Sometimes it is wreathed with indigo black tornado clouds, some times crested with snow, sometimes standing out hard and clear, as though made of metal, and sometimes softly gorgeous, with green, gold, purple and pink vapors tinted by the sunset. London Mail. A Trying Reform. A Presbyterian clergyman of New I York with tyro popular daughters has discovered a r-aw way to end the vis its of their beaus at a seemly hour-a plan which might appeal to lay fami lies as well. For a number of years it has been a custom of this good man to hold evening worship after supper, always concluding the prayers with a short discourse. Things went very well until the daughters began to re ceive the attentions of young men and begged off or stole away to make their evening toilets. Then the minister changed the devotional hour until 10 in the evening. This reform created an upheaval, but the father Insisted, and at the stroke of 10 the visiting young men are now left one alterna tive-either to leave or join with the family in prayer-and it has proved a severe test of their devotion for the daughters when those not prayerfully inclined stick It out, sermon and all. New York World. The Good Fenow. The treasurer of a church temper ance society told at a temperance meet ing a dramatic story. "A woman entered the barroom," he said, "and advanced quietly to her husband, who sat drinking with three other men. She placed a covered dish on the table and said: "' Thinkin' ye'd be too busy to come home to supper, Jack, I've fetched It to you here.' "And she departed. "The man laughed awkwardly. He invited his friends to share the meal with him. Then he removed the cover from the dish. - . "The dish was empty. It contained a slip of paper that said: "'I hope you will enjoy your supper. It is the same as your wife and chil dren have at home."'-Life. coffee-Tea. Coffee-tea is the common beverage of the natives of Java and Sumatra. When required for Infusion the coffee leaves are gathered fresh from the trees and are dried in a pan over a slow fire until they are light brown.
