Light i;nd Sound Waves.
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.'"

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

Kings Are Useful.
A king is a hand embroidered gentlenan
trimmed with metals, faced with
whiskers and thatched with a metal
oof that would never keep off the
ain. Nominally he is the head of
;be nation; actually he Is a figurelead,
and that is figuratively speaking
>nly, for he is generally too fat to
.'laim a figure and seldom has much

LOVE'S HYPOCRISY.
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

44 4I will/ said the Irishman?4a drop

4,So the queen put on the kettle. but
when the water boiled the noise awoke
the dreamer.

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'
