A Happy Thought.
That was a happy thought of
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
to analyze articles exported to
the United States by those na-
tions which have shown a dispo-
sition to exclude American agri-
cultural products on the ground
of impurity of one kind or an-
other. lie is going to ascertain
beyond a peradventure if those
nations which are so fastidious as
as regards imports from America
are equally fastidious as regards
their own exports. As yet the
chemical investigation is just be-
gun, but already it has been de-
termined, so it is said, that Ger-
many, which has been the most
obstreperous tinder of fau.t with
American articles, sends to Amer-
ica sausages, which, under
test, give unquestionable signs of
adulteration and impurity. It is
stated to be the purpose of the
secretary to continue the investi-
gation, and to record the results,
with the view of using them to
good advantage at the right i<jne.
So it stands the nation in hand
which, fearful that America will
get possession of its markets,slan-
ders America's products to look
well to the einion pure nature of
the stuff it ships westward.—

The Phoenix.
The Phoenix was the name of
^he first fire company in England,
and it was established in 1682.
At that time, in the towns,
squirts or syringes were used for
extinguishing fire,and their length
'id not exceed two or three feet,
with pipes of leather. Water-
tight seamless hose was first mado
in Bethnal Green in 1720.
The Pope Plays Chess.
The Pope is a remarkably good
chess play; in fact, it is only rare
occasions that he is defeated at
the game. There is ona priest in
Rome who is usually the Pope's
adversary. The priest—Father
Gieila—has played chess with Ilis

Wet Ballroom.
A miniature .Johnstown flood
swept through the ball room ol
the Waldorf-Astoria hotel. .The
water filled the room to a depth
of four inches, and poured in cat-
aracts, flashing under the electric
lights, over the balcony and down
into the street below.
The flood was caused by the
breaking of a five-inch water mail-
on the third floor on the west side
of the hotol, just above the ball-
room. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Geb-
hard gave the alarm. They wort
returning to the hotel, and were
surprised to find themselves sur-
rounded by water. There was t
swish of skirts, a quick cry, a
man's usual exclamation. The
water swept into the ballroom
pouring from the ceiling only 11 vt
feet from E. H. B lash field'*
$5,000 painting, "Music." It feli
in torrents on the floor and form-
ed an exit by peculiar aptness be-
tween Will II. Low's panels ol
America and Spain. From there
it fell two stories to the balcony
below, and then in another lea];
made a cascade to the ground.
"Chappies" turneel up then
trousers and agreed that it was
"nawsty wet." Manager Boldt
tui ned on ah of the electric lights,
and the costly paintings were re-
flected in the crystal flood on the
ballroom floor. It was a sight
worth seeing, and, strange to say
not an expensive performance,
for the only thing injured was a
piece of red velvet carpet. The
paintings by a lucky chance es
caped all damage.
Care of the Hair.
There is no tonic sq good for
the ha.r air, light and sunshine.
Indeed, the latter is the only
thing in the world that imparts
arichu^s of color. After wash-
ing tho hair it should be dried in
the sunshine. If residing in the
city one can sit in the sun by ar
open window. This natural heat
does not dry the scalp as artificial
heat ia bound to do, and imparts
strength JftOfe is tkshmv.
times;
of the an
tingaished the
the seas were reptil
turtles of gigantic „ _
armed for offense or defense.
There were also oyster-like bi-
valves, with enormous shells,
three or four feet "in diameter,
the meat of which would
have fed many people. In
time, this great ocean, swarming
with vigorous life, disappeared.
Mountain ranges and plains
gradually arose, casting forth the
waters and leaving the monsters
to die and bleach in tertiary suns.
As the waters remaining divided,
into smaller tracts, they gradually
lost their saline stability. The
stronger monsters gorged on the
weaker tribes, until they too
stranded on rising sand bars, or
vitality and perished as the waters
freshened. In imagination we can
picture the strongest, bereft of
their food supply at last, and
floundering in the shallow pools
until all remaining mired or
starved. It would be interesting
to know how much of the great
Cretaceous ocean forms a part, if
any, of the vast oceans of to-day.

Cross Londott Bridge.
It is computed that 200,000 pe-
destrians and 20,000 vehicles cross
London bridge every day. Each
leaves behind a little shoe leathei
or a little iron—juit a trifle. But
when litter and d st are added to
these minute losses the whole til18
between three or four carts. The
most surprising fact of all, how-
ever, is that the incessant trafhc
across the bridge reduces to pow"
der about 25 cubic yards of gi'an'
ite every year.
High Caste Widows.
There are in India alone 3,000,-
000 high ('asta widows undor 15
years old. In th it country if a

yea* s of age her parents are looked J
down upon. Th y are, conse-
quently, <_ivtm away in marri#

her own relatives. Her ±'utui'|
life is- one of misery and desta|
