seems to be one of the most sagacious
phrases passed down by our hardworking
forebears. Like most sayings
which have emanated from manual
tabor, this is blunt, homely, and, to
the loquaciously Inclined, painfully
accurate. Show me a man bent Jackknife*
fashion over a sawhorse, with
a short log under his buck, and I will
point out a man who 1? minding bis
own business with admirable zeal. If
he speaks, he ceases to saw. While
he jaus he is necessarily mute. Hence
this shrewd phrase, which Is, punning
aside, a perfect saw.?Atlantic Monthly.
Bees as a Weather Bureau.
Those who have studied the bees in
the mountains say their combs always
foretell the length of the coming
seasons to a nicety. As they always
build their combs first, if the
spring is 10 d? oariy ana warm me
combs at the top of the hive are built
long, but If the first season of the
year is to be cold and short the combs
are made small. It Is the same with
the summer and fall season. Mountaineers
who have cleared lands In the
valley say they can predict scant or
bountiful crops merely by opening and
examining the combe in a beehive.?> 1

HE PUNNED HIS OWN DEATH
How 8lr William Hankford 600 Year*
Ago Evaded Law Agalnat Committing
8uicide.
Suicides often adopt Ingenious
methods hilt the Art of the fnlrv do no
seems not to have advanced materially
during the centuries. The modern
case of a heavily Insured broker who
Dn a feigned hunting trip stood barelegged
in a quagmire for hours and
wilfully contracted a fatal pneumonia
is matched In cleverness by one 500
pears old.
The following facts are well vouched
for, and Indeed were never questioned,
says the Green Bag. Sir William
Hankford, a judge of the king's
bench in the reigns of Edward III,
Henry IV, Henry V and Henry VI,
and at the time of his death chief
justice of England, was a man of
melancholy temperament.
He seems to have contemplated
Buicide the greater part of his long
life and during his later years the
Idea became a fixed purpose. ThO
act was of peculiarly serious consequences
in those days for the reason
that the law treated it as a capital
crime. The offender was buried at
the croes roads, with a stake driven
through his body, and all his goods
and property were forfeited to the
crown, to the utter ruin of his family.
Hankford made good use of hlh
wits and succeeded in acco**pll$hfcg
his purpose without lncurrtnj^sHobr
unpleasant penalty. He gave ojfen
instructions to his gamekeeper, who "
had been troubled with poachers in
the deer preserve, to challenge all
trespassers in the future and to shoot
to kill if they would not stand and
give an accouift.
One dark night he purposely
crossed the keeper's path, and upon
challenge made motions of resistance
and escape. The faithful servant,
falling to recognise his master, fol<
lowed instruction to the letter, as
was expected of him, and Sir William
fell dead in his tracks. The whole
truth of the affair was common
knowledge, but It was Impossible to
establish a case of suicide by legal
proof. The servant was protected by
his Instructions. Hankford had honorable
burial and his estate passed
to those whose interests as heirs he
had so wisely considered.
THEIR SINGING HARD LABOR
People of 8tar Island, 8aye Cells
Thaxter, Qrlnd Out Sounds With
Tremendous Exertion.
Among people of average musical
ability there is less singing than there
used to be. Nearly everybody enjoys
singing, and there was a time when
nearly everybody was expected, on occasion,
to sing. But from different
cauees?a more exacting standard, the
rivalry of the phonograph, arid other
reasons?amateur singers are, fewer
than they were. It Is a matter for regret
from one point of view, shd from
another for rejoicing.
In a recently published letter. Cells
Thaxter tells how some of the Star
Island folk4, during her long residence
at the Isles of Shoals, used to sing.
"Their singing," she declared, "was
truly astonishing, indeed, f'might say,
excruciating. They go at It precisely
as if they were sawing wood, and
grind out the sounds with such exertion
that their face# become crimson
and the perspiration stands In beads
on their foreheads."?Youth's Company

The Iron Crown of Italy.
The historic Iron crown of Italy
has played a romantic role In the hInto
ry of the peninsula. It was made
In the year 694 by the command. It la
said, of Theodotinda, the widow of a
Lombard kins, on the oecaslon of her
marriage to a duke of Turin.
The crown la of iron overlaid with

lay to the fact that the weight of
royalty could never be lightened by

Light of the Firefly.
The statement that the light of fire
files and other phosphorescent animals
Is produced without any sensible degree
of heat has often been repeated
without any Information as to the
quantity of heat that would be required
to produce a similar amount of light
by artificial methods. This information
Is supplied by Professor Mcintosh. He
says that a temperature approaching
2,000 degrees Fahrenheit would bo necessary
to make a light equivalent to
that emitted by an ordinary firefly.
The enormous waste In all industrial
methods of producing light is a matter
of common knowledge, and the
example of the firefly remains unimitated
by man. The very simplicity of
the mechanism employed by nature
In phosphorescent animals is baffling.

? WHEN
CARVING WAS AN ART
In Old Days the Slicing Was Suited
to the Importance of
the Guest.
Carving was once a serious thing.
The sixteenth century carver was a
professional. He had to make the
Joint fit the guest. The size of his
Blices was the thing. Then he had
to know his guests and cut accordingly.
A lord, for Instance, at the table,
and a pike was dished up whole.
Smaller fry, and the pike came on In
slices. The same procedure with pig.
The rank of the diners decided whether
It should appear at table in gold
leaf or naked, whole or sliced. With
bread, too, there was a difference.
New or three days old baked was
at the discretion of the carver as he
sized up the visitors. And as for the
apportioning of the tidbits according
to precedence there was no end. The
old-time carver in fact was born ancj
then made.
The eighteenth century was the day
of the carving master. He taught hostesses
the art. Lady Mary Montagu,
for instance, took three lessons a
week "that she might be perfect on
her father's public days, when, in order
to perform her functions without
Interruptions, she was forced to eat
her own dinner alone an hour or two
beforehand."
The hostess carved while the host
"pushed the bottle." She did more.
Sha urged the guests to eat mors
and more, and woe to her if she
neglected a guest. The diner who
was forced to help himself to a silos
of anything nearly choked. These
diners of the eighteenth century liked
being pressed. And the hostess welcomed
the end of the feast.?London
Chronicle.
Arabia's Laughing Plant.
The laughing plant Is not a flower
that laughs, but one that creates
laughter. If the printed acoounts of
travelers can be believed, says an
English paper. It grows In Arabia
and la called the laughing plant bees
use the seeds produce effects like
uiose caused by laughing gas. The
flowers are of a bright yellow, and
the seed pods are soft and woolly,
while the seeds resemble small black
beans. Only two or three grow In a
pod. The natlref dry and pulverise
them, and the powder, taken In small
doses, makes the soberest person behave
like a circus clown or a madman,
tor he will danoe, sing and laugh
most boisterously and cut the most
fantastic capers and be In an uproariously
ridiculous oondttkm tor about
an hour. When the excitement ceases
the exhausted exhibitor of these antics
falls asleep, gad when be awakens
he has not the slightest remembrance
of his frisky doings.
