Taking an Impression. The original point of: view of Stephen Haweis, the English painter, is seen fn the following fable, which was includ. ed in a letter to a friend: The artist peeped into a window of & room where a retired merchant sat, doing a Jigsaw pussle. Ft "Whose is that strange face? the merchant asked anxiousiy. "I saw no one," his wife said. "1 did. 1 saw a strange face" dis tinotly""--but before he reached the window the artist was gone. "Do you think it was a burglar?" his wife said. "We will see if he has taken any Investigation showed that nothing was missing, but the artist had taken away an impression whiéh Le sold to that particular merchant for £100. The Penetrating Stare. Cab a stare be felt? A woman who has obnducted many experiments says it can, that "no matter how deep Ler absorption, the stare at her hack will always disturb her. All girls feel a stare." Dr. Coover, "a psychologist," Says a stare Is mot felt and that he has tested it a thousand times. It is probably all imagination on the part of the woman, for it is easy in such eases for what one imagines to be come real to her. Where she passes a man, and he stares at her, she cam doubtless feel that stare a block away, for it will take awhile for the impres- sion of a stare to pass away. Stares are no doubt a great annoyance to wo- men, but there is no way to prohibit them. The only way to do to abolish the stare is for women to dress simply and go modestly -about théir business, Nickel in Soapmaking. |, It will probably be news to the aver Ngo ablutionlst that the metal nickel is used in making his soap. And fur- ther, perhaps, he will be glad to learn that although the nickel, finely ground, 48 mixed with the other soap_ingredi- ents the finished product contains none of it. This is so because the nickel acts as what the chemists call a catalyst--that is, its presence causes certain d ble changes to eccur, al though it takes no part in the chemi eal reaction. Offensive oils and those too thin for satisfactory use when mixed with finely divided nickel and subjected to the -action-of a-current of hydrogen become deodorized and harder and suitable for the soapmak- er's use. Cottonseed. oil, for example, after the nickel-bydrogen treatment, makes a satisfactory-soap. Elephant Skin. Elephant skin is beautiful and dura. ble, but it is very hard to get.

Their target practice is limited to shooting what is popularly known as the "twenty-two" rifle. At the age of fourteen the schoolboy Is graduated into the "senior cadets." *! and here his military training begins in dead earnest. He learns to care for his rifle, which the government furnishes to him. The state also gives him an olive drab military uniform. He learns the movements of squad and company formations and learns to deploy as skirmishers. : The Australian schoolboy becomes a soldier irrespective of his own wishes in the matter, or thase of his parents. Truancy officers, such as in this coun- try, watch the attendance at school in Australia, hale into court the parents of boys who are absent from their military drill, and it is not an infre- quent occurrence for heavy fines to be levied on parents who are indifferent to their sons' military education. -- How Romans Took Their Feed. The Romams reclined at their bam. quets on couches, all supporting them- selves on ome elbow and eating with their fingers from dishes placed in the center of the table. Each was supplied 'with a napkin, and knives were used, though it does not appear that every one was supplied with one. Nothing, it would seem, could be more fatiguing than to partdke of a repast in such an awkward posture or less cdnducive to oeatness, it heing almost impossible to keep the hands clean even with water supplied by the slaves or to prevent the food and wine from falling on the clothing and the draperies of the couch. This manver of eating disappeared during the dark ages so far as the couch was concerned, but the peculiar- ity of taking food with the fingers from a common dish continued afterward for more than 1,000 years. Bismarcik's Card Trick. The diplomat has many tricks up his sleeve, Bismarck included not only drinking, but card playing. It was when he was negotiating the treaty of Gasteln with the Austrian Blome. "I then played quinze for the last time in my life. Although I had not played then for a long time, I gambled recklessly, so that the others were as- tounded. But I knew what I was at. Blome had heard that quinze gave the best opportunity of testing a man's character, and he was anxious to try the experiment on me. I thought to myself, 'I'll teach him.' I lost a few bundred thalers, for which I might well have claimed reimbursement from the state.. But I got around Blome in that way and made him do what I wanted. He took me to be reckless and yielded."--Londen Chronicle. Washing In the Philippines. Most of the laundry work of the Philippine Islands is done by hand.

Classification of Stars. In classifying stars astronomers rec- oghize six degrees of magnitude, but the term relates to radiance or bril- the classification 1s somewhat arbi- trary, yet each degree of magnitude is approximately two and a half times as brilliant as a star of the next magul- tude below. Then, too, exch mhgyitude is about three times more pumérous than the ene which precedes it. Be- ginning with the brightest, there are visible without a glass about twenty stars of the first magnitude, about six- ty-five of the second magnitude, nearly 200 of the third magnitude, over 400 of the fourth magnifnde, about 1,100 of the fifth and over 3,000 of the sixth. The total number of stars that can be seen by the unaided eye is about 5,000, but not all at one time. This takes no actylat of the millions, perhaps bun- dreds of wmlllions, in wegions of space that cannot be reached by the unaided eye.
