DETERMINING LEVELS. Method by Whilh Every Man May 12.: His Owni Surveyor. A siniple way of roughly detericin- . Ing levels, and one which can readily be practiced by any one and which has i the advantage of not requiring any special apparatus, is by means of a spirit level and a board with a straight edge. The way to go about it is this: First determine on two points the lev els of which : vu wish to know and drive stakes into the ground. Then take a board with a straight edge and 4 tack it to a tree, if one happens to be 3 available. in a line with these two q stakes. Put the board at such a height I that you can readily sight over it and carefully level this board by means of the spirit level. Then sight It over to ward one of the stakes, having some I one at that stake who will, by means of a small piece of paper, locate the point at which your line of vision cuts it-in other words. where a line pro jected from your sighting board would I str~ke the stake. Make some sort of 1 mark at this point and then sight to the other stake in the same way and raark the point where the line would strike it. By measuring distances that 4 these two points are above the ground you can get the difference in levels with reasonable accuracy. For in stance, if your line of vision has cut ( one stake eight feet from the ground 4 and the othr one five feet from the ground, then obviously the difference in level Is three feet, or, In other words, the vicinity of the stake on which the mark is five feet from the ground is I three feet higher than the other stake, and you will have a three foot fall from draining from this point to the other.-Farming.

THE ELOQUENT NUDGE. An Incident Inustrating a Trait In Woman's Nature. "Do you see the woman walking in front of us there?" asked the man with the fashionable tie to the friend who was strolling up Broadway with him. "Do you notice anything particularly striking about her? Nothing, except that she is very well dressed? That's what I would say. Now, I'll bet you half a dollar that when she passes the three women walking just ahead of her all three will nudge each other simul taneously." The woman behind was walking faster than the three in front and shei soon passed them. The three womens looked her over from foot to head, thena nudged each other with their elbows as if possessed with the same thought. t "Ho did you know it?" inquired the i friend as the other pocketed the half dollar. "I didn't know It," was the reply. "If n I had it would have been taking an un fair advantage of you to bet. But I j was reasonably certain of It. There is E a certain indescribable something in some women's manner, appearance and t carriage that causes all other women toi nudge each other at sight of her.

The very first written instance of crank in the mod ern sense that could be found for Dr. Murray's dictionary was in the reports of the trial of Guiteau, President Gar- a field's murderer. Guiteau's reference to somebody as a crank gave the word I a vogue that has gone on spreading. But the adjective eranky was known in 1787 as meaning sickly (the German a "krank"'). and to Dickens in the senses se of cross and crochety.

The tomb of the Christian in Algeria is a pyramid on the summit of a hill nore than 700 feet high, at the edge of the sea. It dates back to before the time of St. Paul, having been built by 3rder of Juha II., the king of Maure tania, as a burying place for himself :nd his wife, Cleopatra, the daughter >f Cleopatra and Mark Antony. The ynly daughter of Juba and his wife ;ras Drusilla, who married Festus, the ;overnor of Judaea in the time of St. Paul. The tomb can be entered by a aw doorway beneath one of the four .alse doors. These have moldings on 7hem of a cruciform shape and may Lecount for the title, "The Tomb of the 3hristian." The passage within the ?yramid winds rouna and eventually eads to two chambers shut off from It )y foldiug doors, which can be moved 2p and down by levers. The tomb nust have been rifled of all it contain d centuries ago, though some think hat by excavating in a downward di ection it might still be possible to dis !over the burying place of the king md queen, supposing the two cham )ers, like the false doors outside, to )e a blind. Doubtless the younger 4leopatra had brought the idea of naking a royal mausoleum in the ;hape of a pyramid from Egypt Por ions of a marble statue of Egyptian lesign were found at Cherchel, sug esting that an Egyptian colony may mee have existed there. There are -wo other similar monuments in Al eria, in the provinces of Oran and ,onstantine respectively, the latter be ng considerably older than the tomb f the Christian, which, however, is he only one referred to in ancient vritings.-Autocar. THE ELDER TREE. )nee Held In High Esteem aS a Cure For Epilepsy. Although tradition tells us that it ras on an elder tree that Judas hang Kd himself, great virtue has long been Lttributed to it as a cure for epilepsy. Che origin of this belief may be found a the following quotation from an old ook of charms: "In the inontii of October, a little efore full moon, pluck a twig of elder .nd cut the cane that is between two if its knees, or knots, in nine pieces. Mind these pieces in a piece of linen, ang this b9 a thread about the neck o that they touch the spoon of the eart, or the sword formed cartilage, nd that they may more firmly stay in heir place bind them thereon with a inen or silken roller wrapped'around he body till the thread break of itself. he thread being broken and the roller emoved the charm is not to be touch d at all with the bare hands," but hould be taken hold of by some in trument and buried in a place that Lobody may touch it." Of course unless the instructions vere followed strictly a complete cure ould not be assured. There is another uperstition about the elder which loubtless has saved many a boy a tout caning-namely, that It hinders a hild's growth if used as an instru nent of punishment.-Sunday Maga ;ine. Walking to Health. When there is no organic weakness rhich is aggravated by the exertion it s the easiest and pleasantest thing to alk right into health. Of course there s no virtue in a dawdling walk. The low and languid dragging of one foot fter the other, which some people call alking. would tire an athlete; it ut erly exhausts a weak person, and that s the reason why many delicate peo le think they cannot walk. To de ive any benefit from the exercise It is ecessar~y to walk with a light, elastic tep. which swings the weight of the ody so easily from one leg to the oth r that its weight is not felt and which roduces a healthy glow, showing that Lie sluggish blood is stirred to action :i the.gnost remote veins. This sort f walking exhilarates the whole body, ives tone to the nerves and produces ust that sort of healthful fatigue rhich encourages sound, restful sleep. Civilization Does Not Enfeeble.

Some years ago, when General Tew fik Hussein was the Turkish minister at Washington, he objected to the cu rious questions the newspaper inter viewers asked him about the harem. One interviewer, however, told the representative of the sublime porte a funny story about Brigham Young and his many wives, and it induced the minister to reciprocate. "There is a, Turkish legend," he said, "to the effect that if a man prays sev en consecutive mornings alone in the mosque for good luck it will come. Near St Sophia mosque, Constantino ple, a poor man lived who tried to car ry out the injunction; but, when he kneeled, to his chagrin he always saw another man who had arrived first. The fourth morning he could restrain himself no longer and cried out: 'What is the secret of your getting to the mosque first? I get up early and lose no time.' The other man asked, 'How many wives have you?' When be an swered 'One,' the fortunate man said: 'You can never get to the mosque ear lier than I, for I have four wives. When I wake up one brings me my clothes, another gets my shoes, a third prepares my bath, and the fourth cooks breakfast. The result is I lose no time. Now, my friend, go at once and marry three other wives, and you will know the secret of my arriving first at the mosque.' "The poor Turk followed the advice, and very soon he knew why the man with four wives got to- the mosque first-he stayed there in preference to staying at home."-Leslie's Weekly. 'LONDON PUNCH. One Occasion When the Proprietor Wanted It Stopped. The introduction of Sir Francis Burnand to the .staff of Punch led to an unusual Incident. The Bookbuyer tells the story. Mr. Burnand had giv en up his profession of law and was devoting himself to writing. It oc curred to him that a burlesque on the sensational novel of the day and print ed after the manner of the London Journal might make a popular hit. He proposed his plan to the editor of Punch, who at once accepted the idea. The first installment carne out, illus trated by Gilbert, Du Maurier and Keene and reproduced in Journal fash ion. It "took" at once and became the talk of the town. The day of the first issue the senior proprietor of Puich was ill in bed. The number reached him with the Journal burlesque folded on the out side. At first he thought a Journal had been sent him by mistake, but when he discovered that the page formed a portion of Punch he did not stop to read it, but sprang out of bed at once, dressed and hurried to the office. "Stop Punch!" he cried, bursting into the room. "Stop Punch! You've got a page of the Journal in the form!" It took considerable explanation to satisfy him that some dreadful mis take had not been made. This was Mr. Burnand's first appear ance on the Punch staff. The next night Thackeray took him to the week ly dinner and introduced him: "Gentiemen-the new boy." Killing Time. To read for either instruction or amusement is commendable, but it is not so for the sake of killi'nig time. Late in life, -after his fortune had been made, a successful merchant. Mr. S., took a young man Into partnership. Entering the office on a dull day in the dull season, the millionaire found his partner yawning over a book. "What's that you're doing?" Mr. S. asked. "There's nothing . else to do, so I'm reading," was the answer. "Nothing else to do? Reading?" the great mer chant repeated in a tone that ex pressed wonder, amusement and scorn. "When you've nothing else to do don't read. Think!" Imaginary Disease. The -British Medical Journal says that only an imaginary remedy will cure an imaginary disease, which is true to the old maxim, "Similia simili bus curantur." It continues: "This may be condemned by the righteous as quackery, and quackery of a kind It undoubtedly is. But if the real end of medicine is to cure can she, when le gitimate means fail, afford to despise anything that relieves suffering, even though the suffering be imaginary?" Forgiveness. "I can forgive, but I cannot forget," is only one way of saying, "I will not forgive." A forgiveness ought to be like a canceled note, torn in two and burned up, so that It can never be shown against a man.

How an Enterprising Reporter Got the News For His Paper. Undoubtedly the boldest undertaking on the part of a reporter to scere a "beat" ever known in the history of American journalism .was when Thom as B. Fielders of the New York Times leaped from a steamer in New -York harbor at odds of about 100 to 1 of being drowned and brought in the first graphic story of the loss of the ocean liner Oregon. It is the custom of New York dailies to send reporters down the bay to meet incoming steamers when It is known there Is "big news aboard. On the ground that it is bet. ter to be safe than sorry the editors dispatch the reporters by special per mit on a government revenue cuttez or else on a specially chartered tug with a view to catching their game before the ship docks. It was knowx early one afternoon that a North Ger man Lloyd steamer was not far out, and every city editor in New York laid plans for sending reporters to meet the Incoming liner. Fielders was one of these. He man aged to get aboard the big stiamer fam down the bay and went among the sur vivors of the Oregon disaster and ob tained some thrilling tales of escape He took notes enough to write a boot about the sinking of the ship, with minute details of heroic rescues and plenty of what newspaper men call "human Interest" stories. Then time began to wear heavy on his hands. Ii was getting late at night and the shi; had not yet passed quarantine. TC make matters worse, the captain said that he would allow no one to leave the ship until she had made her way clear of quarantine. Fielders vainly pleaded that he was zibt a passengee and therefore was not amenable to the Inspection of the ship by the health officers. His remonstrances were un availing. The captain was obdurate. Ten o'clock came. The city editor ol the Times paced nervously around the night desk, repeatedly asking, "Where on earth is Fielders?" Out there in the bay Fielders, wrought to a pitch of anger almost sufficient to impel an assault upon the exacting captain, looked vainly at the dimpling stream of light from his tug as she lay out in the darkened waters waiting for him. The captain of the steamer would not permit the tug tc come any nearer to his ship. Fielders stood beside the rail, loudly remon strating with the man commanding the big ship. He stealthily placed one- leg over the rail, then the other. Then there was a splashing sound below and a chorus of shouts from :the pas sengers. The reporter was overboard! Out in the rippling light his body ~was seen to rise, and as it did the daredevil began swimming toward his tug. His comrades had thrown out a line at a signaf from him previously given, and he made for that line. Would he ever get it? Could they see him, a mere speck on the dimly lighted water? He gained a hold .on the rope, was pulled aboard the tug and gave orders for her nose to be turned toward the Manhat. tan shore with all possible speed. The Times contained a full and graphic story of the loss of the Oregon the next morning.-Remson Crawford in Success Magazine. Only One King Buried In Icefand. In Iceland It is the boast of the na tive that "only one king is buried here." That was King Roerek of Nor way (vide Snorri Sturiuson's Saga, "Heimskringia"), whom King Olaf the Holy "shipped," with the, significant hint that he need not be in any hurry to return to his native land. R orek, who was a shrewd, peaceably minded monarch, took the hint, went t'o Ice land and a thousand odd years ago set ted down to farming "at a little stead height, Calfskin, where were but few serving folk, and there he dwelt an'l on the fourth winter got the illness which brought him to his bane. So, it is said, he is the only king that rests In Iceland." A Horse's Age. The age of a horse cannot always be told by looking at its teeth. After the ighth year the horse gets no more new teeth, so that this method is use less for a horse more than eight years old. As soon as the set of teeth is complete, however, a wrinkle begins to appear on the edge of the lower eyelid, and another wrinkle Is added each year, so that to get the age of a horse more than eight years old you must count the teeth plus the wrin kles.

What is a rater, a sailabout, a lark, Is a question commonly heard among those not familiar with yachts and technical racing terms. . A rater is thirty-eight feet long and carries the double sails-sloop rig and jib. The half rater is thirty-two feet long, car ries the same style sails as the rater and usually gets a five minute handi cap in rater races. The sailabout car ries a single large sail and is built on graceful lines, with rounded sides and ends, while the lark -has square sides and ends and carries the single sail. Few larks are built now. Most of the yachts recently built have the double centerboard. The centerboard pre vents drifting sidewise, and the single board is often entirely out of water during heavy winds; hence the use of the double board. Ceylon Sharks. Sharks infest the waters of Ceylon, and the pearl divers of that region are in deadly fear of these wolves of the. deep. The divers are mostly Tamils and Moormen and display marvelous en durance and pluck. To protect them selves against the ever present danger to which the presence of the sharks ex poses them the divers carry charms given them by recognized "shark bind ers" who receive a small government fee and a dozen oysters a day from each boat Owing to the constant noise and splashing, the sharks are generally kept at a distance, and acci dents are rare. Famous King Ow Og, the famous king of Bashan, men tioned in Deuteronomy, had a bedstead nine cubits long, or about sixteen and a half feet. It is doubtful whether Og himself was of the full length of his bedstead. Many bones of reputed giants have been found in different countries of the world, and uninformed people hastily concluded that the men to whom these bones were supposed to have belonged must have been from fifteen to thirty feet in height. All such remains have been proved to be those of the gigantic ani1al existing in a forzner era of the world's history. The Study of Poetry.

To discov'e the heart of an oyster the fold of flesh which oystermen call the "mantle" must be removed. This Is fatal to the oyster, of course, but in the interest of science and for the ben efit of the "curious" It is occasionally done. When the mantle has been re moved the heart, shaped like ao cres cent or horned moon, Is laid to the view. The oyster's- heart is made up of two parts' just like that of a hu man being, one of which receives the blood from the gills, and the other drives It out through the arteries. The liver Is found in the Immediate vicin ity of the heart and stomach and Is a. queer shaped little organ, which Is supposed to perform all the functions of a blood filter. Every oyster has a mouth, a heart, a liver, a stomach and other necessary internal organs, in luding a set of cunningly devised In testines. The mouth Is at the small end of the oyster's body, near the hinge of the shell. It Is oval in shape, and, though not readily discovered by an unpracticed eye, it may be easily located by gently pushing a blunt bod kin or similar instrument along the. folds of the surface of the body at the ,place mentioned. Connected with the mouth Is the canal which the oyster uses In conveying food to the stomach, from whence It passes into the curious little set of netted and twisted intes tines referred to.-Santa Fe New Mex ian.
