Writing of Polish temperament and
talent, Sidney Whitman In “Things I
Remember" has an amusing story of a
bright Polish Jew who traded In
chemicals. He was brought before tbu
lew courts for selling poison without
fulfilling tbe legal enactments bearing
su such transactions.
The magistrate proceeded to read
out the charge when the Jew sudden-
ly interrupted him with the question:
“Excuse me, Mr. President Do you
understand auytblug about chemi-
cals?"
"Mr. S., the expert, Is here In that
capacity,” replied tbe Judge.
“And you, Mr. 8.," queried tlie Jew,
“do you understand anything about
law?”
“You., have juM heard from his
worship that I am an expert In ehetn- i
leals. If you want to know anything |
about law please address yourself toJ
the Judge."
"I ask you, Mr. President, just to
consider the case for one moment, i
You are the judge of tbe court uud ud-:

tells us that he does not know any-

How Airmen Measure the Heights to
Which They Ascend.
Altimeters or barographs are used by
aviators to measure the heights to
which they asceud. Both of these lu-
sLrumenls are constructed ou exactly
the same principle as the aneroid ba-
rometer. They depend upon air pres-
sure. At sea level, where the air Is
much compressed by Its own weight,
the pressure Is about fifteen pounds to
the square inch, but at greater heights
it becomes less. The barometer Is guv-<
erned by thp pressure and so Indicates
the height above sea level.
There arc many forms of barometers.
The simplest la a bent tube of glass,
shaped like a very long letter J uud
partly filled With mercury. The upper
part is closed, aud the space above the
column of mercury is a vacuum. The
lower or hook end of the tube Is open
aud subject to the pressure of the at-
mosphere. As tho jiressure becomes
less on rising above the surface, the
mercury iu the long part of the tube
falls. The extent of the full Indicates
the height.
Airplanes use one of these Instru-
ments mentioned, which are practically
self registering barometers, and when
the alrplauo comes down the Instru-
ment shows how high it has been car-
ried.—Philadelphia Press.

pastry turns out light and “short"
when this sort of fat is used. A Bel-
gian recipe is as follows: Throw all the
fat left after drawing the goose into
cold water with a little salt us soon as
the goose is drawn. When the bird Is
bait done ladle off some of the dripping
before It browns or becomes strong and
as the rousting proceeds leave only
enough dripping in tbe pan to baste
with. Next day put the dripping, with
the fresh fat, 111 a stew-pan, with slices
of apple, and onion if approved. Add
salt and pepper. When done clear it
and strain it into a jar. Cover It and
keep it lu a coot place.
Above the Vulgar Gaze.
Until 1870 It was against the law
aud sacred custom for any subject to
look at the emperor of Japan. Hbs
political advisers and attendants saw
only Ills back. When he first left the
palace the shutters of all the houses
had to be draftn, and no one was per-
mitted lii the streets. Even today,
when the emperor bus the privilege of

Storm Stories. •
History repeats Itself even in storms
at sea. The Norwegian steamer Splea
v,:is broken from Iter moorings at
lily 111 aud pitched like a cork over half
a mile of dangerous rocks until she
bumped against the pier. Rut this Is
nolliing to tbe adventure of the Ebeli-
ever, a craft of ninety-flvo tons, which
was once driven by a" gale toward
Chesll beach, near Portland. An enor-
mous'wave seized hold of the ship anil
carried it to the very top of tho bank,
where it was left high and dry. The
sailors stepped over the side nnd walk-
ed Into Portland, “where they were
greeted by some us liars, by others ns
men who had come out of the Jaws of
death,” as the record puts It. But the
Ebeueeer was found exactly as they
hud said It would he. and two days lat-
er she was launched and brought round
to Weymouth hay.—Westmiuster Gu-
zette.
