In the Itltnd of Rhodes honey la ttill a factor In the marriage rites. After the ceremony the husbarfd dips a finger In honey and traces a cross over the doorway of hit homo before hit bride entert, while the guests ad monlah the bride to "Be alwayt tweet and good, as la this honey." The wedding cake goes back to an? tiquity. One of the Important fea? tures of the marriage ceremony I among the Romans was the partak? ing, by both contracting parties, of t cake made of flour, salt and water. Tblt was done in the pretence of the high priest and ten witnesses. The use of the wedding ring la al? most universal, but in the country dis? tricts around Cadlt no ring la used.

One of the most interesting works of nature in Kansas from a geological standpoint Is known as "Castle Hock." a natural formation located In Qove county, ip the valley of the Hack berry, about ten miles from Its mouth. This castellated mass is composed of a coping of limestone and the shaft of chalk and compact sbale. Its unique formation was caused by the shales wearing away, the strongly ce? mented atone aervlng as a protection to the upper surface. In this way mountainous appearing masses are frequently produced, especially where streams cat their way through the bard atone into the softer materials below. Similar formations are met with in Ellis county which show isolat? ed columns which rise from 20 to 70 feet lu height.?Blackmar's History of Kansas. Putting Reptiles to Sleep.

THE "EYE" WORM OF AFRICA Dangerous Pest Thst Is Apt to Bs In? flicted on the Visitor to the Congo. ' Every one who lives in central Af? rica any length of time sooner or later becomes affected with ibe fllarla loa, a worm which is about two inches In length and the size of a hair. Its larva is supposed to be taken lato the body in drinking water, and, when Incu? bated, It wanders through the body for a long period. At one time It may make its presence known In the fore? arm or the back of the hand by a pain? less' swelling. At another time the same Indications appear in a leg or about'the Hps or forehead. ' Missionaries tell me tin it I have sev? eral of them In my body, although, save for the Indications described, they have caused me little or no Inconveni? ence. The worm Is-supposed Ho end Its career In the eye of the victim, and in Africa Is commonly called "eye worm' because of this tendency. It then pro? duces Inflammation, and, unless skill? fully extracted. It sometimes ruptures the delicate membranes, frequently causing great suffering and even blind? ness. The natives take It ottt with a bam? boo splinter. But If the worm breaks in the eye, the virus Is liable to poison the organ completely, frequently with the result of loss of sight. European surgeons, however, find little trouble In removing It successfully.?R. L. Gar? ner i?i the' Century Mnjrazine. I Mole's Marvelous Appetite. - Incredible stories are told of the mole's appetite, and in order to see if there was anything La/them (writes i an English correspondent) I tried an experiment My mole?a matronly lady?weighed three and half ounces. Each Item of food that she was given was carefully weighed, and here is her record between 9 a. m. and noon: One frog, throe Slugs, twenty-four earthworms, a piece of raw mutton, and a bit of cheese, a total of Just over four ounces. Sonic delay follow? ed, as my stock of weighed food was exhausted. Probably by the time I bad replenished It she uhought it was thne for a. fresh meal, for she went at it again with no visible damage to her appetite, and befors three o'clock she had got through another three ounces, mostly earthworms this time. That was twice her own weight In food In six hours. After this display I gave up the attempt to measure her maximum capacity. Bohsmlana Fond of Qssos. A traveler in Bohemia quickly learns that there are certain things which are essentially Bohemian, writes Ken? neth Robert* in the Saturday Eve? ning Post. True Bohemians eat enormous quantities o' caraway seed*, and goose. When a Bohemian took: prepares anything she Instinctively reaches for the carawi.y seed box and heaves a handful of seeds into the dish. She uses caraway seeds with hors d'oeuvres, soup, ilsh, meat, voge tables, desserts and cakes. As for goose, it is the common fooc In Bohemia, because every ore raises geese, and, according to Mr. Roberts, goose in some form or another is eaten at every meal every day In the year.

SCRAWLED BY GREAT POET? Signatur? of William Shakespeare, Be? lieved Genuine, Found on Wall In Hampton Court. The discovery of the signsture of William Shakespeare, scrawled years ago on the 'vail of the "haunted gal? lery" of Hampton court, has Just been mnde in Ixmdon. Shakespeare authori? ties pronounce it authentic. The disclosure was mar'e when, lernest Low, the court antiquarian, was directing the renovations. On the wall bf Itae old retiring room he found, af? ter cleaning it, the letter "8," followed by illegible letters, concluding "ke~ *t>eare," and beneath the rotif;h sketch of a hand and the date 1606.

The company dress? ed in-the "hauntfd gallery," near the great hall where tne play was enacted. I The gallery, according to ancient tradition, 1s haunted by the ghost of Catherine Howard, one. of Henry VIII's six wives, who was imprisoned there..

Usually on June 15 the inundation of the Nile commences,: the greatest height being, at the auturana: equinox, after which the waters sub:side until the following April. The &reat ad? vantages which Egypt derives from the annual rise of the river and saving of the country from barrenness, has caused.the Nile to be known by the inhabitants as the most holy river, they believing that it draws Its source from Paradise. In former days it had its appointed priests, festival a and sacrifices, and if its rising were delayed by a Mingle day they took the moat beautiful maiden they could find and dressing her rich- j ly, drowned her In the water* as a vie tfm to turn away the god's uager and merit his favors. The caliphs abolished this cruel sacrifice. Substituting one less barbarous, they threw into the riv? er a letter in which It waa commanded that the waters rise if it were the will of (Job*. It has been stated that the quality of the Nile water la'such that It la highly extolled for drinking purposes and no matter how long kept It doss pot be? come Impure. V PMrst Steamboat In West. The first steamboat on ti e western waters was the Orleans, built In 1811 at Pittsburgh by Robert Fulton, un? der the firm name of Fulton & Living? ston, his partner being Chancellor R. Livingston of New York. It ar? rived at Louisville, Ky., In October, destined for New Orleans, tut the riv? er being too low for its passage over the falls, it plied between Louisville and Cincinnati until early In Decem? ber, when it descended the river and entering the Mississippi encountered at New Madrid, Mo., the earthquake of December 11, which foimed Reel foot lake In Tennessee, and the lakes In Arkansas, opposite and above Mem? phis, which remain now. The boat was repaired and reach eel New Or? leans December 29. It remained feouth, plying between New .Orleans and Natchez until July, 1814, when it waa wrecked and sunk. Blessing the Alpin? Ropes. Every summer, at the beginning of the climbing season In thcSwIss moun? tains, a solemn service Is held among the guides, many of whom are godly men who know they take their lives In their hands when they ascend the Alps. So they bring their rcpes with them and lay them at the foot of one of the mountains. Old and new ropes are piled in a heap, and tl en they are blessed by the pastor. Prayer Is of? fered that the Aid ropes may still bear the stram safely and that the new ropes may prove equal to ell the stress placed upon them. The guides are commended to the mercy of God that In their dally ascents they may be kept safe and that they may succor the travelers who trust in tliem.?F. H. Cheley in "Stories for Talks to Boys." Egypt Raised Cotton In 200 B. C. Cotton has been grown iu Egypt since 200 B. C, but it was not iu til a hundred years ago that Jumel, a French engineer, suggested the f^tro ductlon of the commercial varieties. In 1822 the famous American sea Is? land cotton was the first sown. Five years later a Brazilian variety was Introduced. The two strains were min? gled and from them came the famous "Ashmouni" plant and the still finer "Mutafti," which is one of the most productive cottons In the world. Whisky Called "Water of Life." The art ol distilling lkiuors Is first mentioned by Albukassen, an Arabian physician who lived In tl e tenth cen? tury. Whisky, "a potable spirit dis? tilled from cereal grain?," probably originated In Ireland, at d Its Celtic name was ulsgebetha (water of life) afterward contracted to usquebaugh ami then to whisky.

Sell As Needed by Mills Approximately 7" p?-r cent of the country's vo ton crop is marketed dur? ing four months of the year?Sep? tember, October. November, and De? cember'?a cording to reports to thw Bureau of Crop Estimates, United; States Department of Agriculture. T11* remaining 30 per rent is sold during the other eight months On the basin of a 1-\000 tmo-bale crop this means th.<t s.4on,ooo bales are sold during ?b-- four months. The miliv do not* consume cotton at that rate; in facti _ consumption is fairly uniform thrugh ou the year. Therefore, during the < ur-montb period the supply is great? er than V+; demand, with resultant low prices to the farmer, j If the miHa ?urchaeed the crop di? rect, lower prices of cotton goods to jthe ]>ublic might result. But that is not the procedure The crop is bought early in the season by merchants who supply be mills With the raw material a- it is needed. And when the cotton I is linally sold to the-mijls it is usually at a considerable advance over the price paid the farmer. Cotton producers would correct this situation and at the same time secure better prices for their cotton by carry ! ing the crop and selling it as it is needed by the mills, says the Bureau of Markets of the Department of Ag? riculture. This does not mean that the services of merchants or brokers in getting the crop from the farmer to the mills are not needed, because fre? quently the farmer Js noi able to con? tract directly to advantage with the mills, and, of course, the farmer would no be. paid i'or his crop at one time, aa at present, but he could warehouse cotton and negotiate loans upon the warehouse receipts. The increased return for his crop v/ould more than take care of tbd wurehousicg expenses aud interest c hargea, . This is but one of many conditions that ohe Bureau of Markets is trying to correct through educational cam? paigns and individual advice to farm? ers. Blood Pressure?
