With reference to our ability to tell * the direction from which sound pro- 1 ceeds, attention may be called to an 1 interesting difference between the eyes and the ears Sn relation to the size of " * the waves that strike them. The av- < erage wave length of light is about one ten-thousandth of the diameter of 1 the pupil of the eye. On the other T hand, according to Rayleigh, the waves 1 [ of sound proceeding from a man's 1 mourn are a doul eigns ieec ioug, whereas the diameter of the passage of the ear Is quite small and could not well have been made a large multiple of eight feet One consequence of the minuteness of light waves in compari- 1 son with the size of the eyes is that the lenses of the eyes are able to con- < centrate rays of light upon the retina with great ediciency.^-Scientific Amer- i lean. i According to Orders. In employing men to work at his Palo Alto farm in California the late Senator Stanford gave strict orders s that they were never to strike, kick or t whip a horsei. On one occasion, while y at dinner, one of the drivers insisted ] that he must see the senator. He was < ushered in, with blood over his face, j which was badly cut "John knocked j me down," explained the man, referring to one of the trainers. "What did you do?' asked the senator. "Nothing," replied the man. "But you 1 must have done something. I want 1 the truth," persisted the senator. I "Well, I only kicked a horse," growled i the man, "and John knocked me down." t "Those were John's instructions," said c the senator emphatically, "and he did just right." Gallant. i Mine. Sarah Bernhardt once told of ^ a gallant to whom she had been intro- c duced. "His compliments," she said, t "were so glowing that at last I cried out: " 'But, monsieur, remember, I am i sixty-four years old!' e " 'Madam,' he replied, 'to me you are just thirty-two, for I, seared as 1 have been by scandal, am too charitable ever to believe more than half of . what I hear.'" fe DTOE * J ai JjISD at any .ban fc Bouknight, Cross rookland or write t c. Do Wo Sleep Too Much? Perhaps, on account of popular opin- I Ion and personal habit, we waste much | time in a jellyfish condition that could j be more profitably spent in active j pursuit of our ambitions. The answer, [>f course, depends upon the nature of our occupation. If there is much muscular effort involved, with a corresponding large amount of waste in the cells and blood, eight hours or more Eire Drobably necessary. But if our work is of a sedentary nature and mainly of the brain there is naturally i smaller quantity of accumulated waste, and less time is required for its removal. Many are the instances of great men, past and present, who have lived healthfully and worked unceasingly and strenuously on only four or 5ve hours of sleep, or half the laborer's portion. Surely we are not to suppose that those men were or are physically lifferent from others, but rather that by inclination or necessity they have Jeveloped a habit of sleeping intensely tor a short period instead of lightly tor a longer period, with resulting jain of time and efficiency .?Atlantic Monthly.

THERE "Was a girl who curled up on the lawn And smelt a rose and wrote a little note. The tabaret was close beside her drawn. With caramels to soothe her as she wrote. A soft breeze fanned her alabaster brow, And happily she scribbled on and on? "O darling, life Is sad and dreary now, And I am comfortless when you are gone!" That letter, mailed, came to a nice young man At eve, within his bachelor abode, And while ljls valet rushed the festive can He smoked and lounged and got a lovely load, And as he loafed and stewed and smoked somehow He wrote an answer to that note ere dawn? "O sweetheart, life Is cold and lonely now, And I am comfortless when you are gone!" Yes, you are liars all, and so are we? But otherwise how nasty life would be! ?Cleveland Plain Dealer. He Was Too Particular. Lord Talbot Demalhide was talking in New York about the thoroughness of the customs Investigations. "The smuggler," he said, "is bound to be detected if he tries his little game in your metropolis. The smuggler's precautions against detection at .this port are so vain and ludicrous as the precautions of the dreaming Irishman. "An Irishman, you know, once dreamed that he was visiting the late Queen Victoria. " '"Till 1 nnnan Wiu you iiave u. uiijur. . mc <^uccu said to him. 44 4I will/ said the Irishman?4a drop of Irish, of coarse, hot by preference, your majesty/ 4,So the queen put on the kettle. but when the water boiled the noise awoke the dreamer. 44 4St Patrick!' said he, Til take it cold next time.' "?Milwaukee News. In Danger. "In my school days," said a traveling man who was trying to illustrate the absurdity and futility of unfounded fears, "we used to have a lecture every Friday afternoon. One day the lecturer was a geologist, and he chose Niagara for his topic. He told us all about the geological formation of the falls, described the different periods to be traced in the gorge and then went on to say that the falls were slowly wearing back toward Buffalo and that in the course of some 200,000 years they would have worn back to Erie, Pa., leaving that town high and dry. "Suddenly one of the girls in my class began to cry hysterically. "4What is the matter?' asked the teacher in alarm. 44 4Well/ wailed the girl, 4my sister lives in Erie, and 1 don't want anything to happen to her like that' Chicago News.
