Patient waiting is often the highest 5 my at doing God’s "WW So that time is not only theoretical: it is as real as coal and wood. Yet this reality stretches over a human life- time back to ages before the existence of the sun and the stars. For purposes 01' ordinary human 'work the second is small enough to use as a standard of value, but scientific men have proâ€" gressed so far in knowledge that the second is too long a period for them to consider as the scientific instant. Therefore they have chosen the hun- dredth of a second as the standard for the length of time that they will con- sider as the actual moment at any one instantâ€"Cincinnati Enquirer. Time, then, for all men is relative to their personal sensations. Yet time is real enough. It takes actual time for starlight to travel, in some cases thou- sands of years. It takes time for sound to travel and time for the electric wave to work actual results over long dis~ tances. But in astronomy it is needed to have the hundredth part of a second. for in that moment light can travel 2,000 miles. So time. which is. after all, only a figure of speech and is a mys- tery \that no hmuan brain can under- stand or fathom, must be considered relatively to one’s sensations. The time to pull an aching tooth is really much longer to the sufierer than a whole night spent in sound sleep. It is more of the person’s actual life. It de- mands more food to stand the nervous strain and the pain than hours of quiet Divides the Waters. Situated exactly at the highest point of the divide of the Rocky mountains. on the Crow’s Nest division of the Ca- nadian Pacific railway, in British Co- lumbia. is a hotel. When it rains in the mountains the water which falls on the eastern slope of the hotel roof trickles away to join a tiny rivulet. which in due time mingles its waters with the Atlantic. The water falling just beyond the ridgepole. on the other side of the roof, flows westerly and ultimately into the Pacific. His Argument. “Dear. I only play poker for fun.” “But you bet. don't you ‘2" “Well. there wouldrh be any fun without a little betting.”â€"Pittsburg n-_;_ Science Defines It as the Hundredth Part of a Second. ‘ A congress of European astronomers decided that the present timeâ€"that is. the present moment at any particular instantâ€"consists'ot the hundredth part of a second. This has been settled on because these men of science have thought that it represented the tiniest fraction of time which could be appre. elated by the human brain. Yet the thousandth part of a second is actually used in physical science. especially in certain important uses of electricity. Lots of Them. “There is one thing which has rather puzzled 'me." ~ “What is that?” “When money talks does it always talk centsrâ€"Baltimore American. For scientific purposes. however. the oflicial present moment flashes from the future to the past in the hun- dredth part of a second. This cannot seem so remarkable when it is recalled that speed records for both horses and men runners are officially calculated in fractions as small as one-fifth of a sec- ond. “"1 had planned to have a real skel- eton,” the musical man replied. “with its ribs tuncd up so that I could play music on it like a xylophone.” A Fair Sized Trout. The gentleman was strolling across a large estate when he came upon a man fishing. “What sort of fish do you catch here?” he said. “Mostly trout,” replied the man. “How many have you caught?” “About ten or twelve. sir." “What is about the heaviest you have caught?” continued the gentle- man. Spoiled His Act. A musical artist announced to his friends that he had a feature for his act that was calculated to make the whole profession sit up and take no- tice. Several days later he was asked to divulge his plans. “Oh. that’s all om" was the answerj “Well, if it was such a wonderful thing What was it?” was the general inquiry. Then the discussion closed down and fourteen excited controversialists or tiered iced water.â€"New York Times. “Well.

They had argued long and furiously over the question. “Can a man marry his widow's niece!“ and the highly tal- ented lawyer in the corner had waxed eloquent over the marriage laws of every state in the Union. every coun- try in the world. civilized and uneiv- ilized. and had cited the atfinity tables of every church and even the legisla- tion of «Lycurgus down to that of Brigham Young. when a young man quietly announced his intense desire to be informed where the deuce a man was when his wife was a widow? “I tried it.” he answered, “but some- body sold me the skeleton of a ticklish man and I couldn’t hit the *ribs.”-- Youngstown Telegram. “Great! Why aren’t you going to do THE PRESENT INSTANT. The manner in which a prisoner ex- tradited to England from a foreign country is treated while on the voyage home depends very much on the de- tective Who has him in charge and also on whether or no there is any suspicion that he may be contemplat- ing violence either to himself or to others. The regulations do not permit of an unconficted prisoner being handcuffed on board ship once the vessel has left port. and he must be allowed one hour’s exercise on deck each day. These indulgences. if indulgences they may he called. were therefore not withheld from Balfour. “Look here. Davidson,” he said. “I’ve got you safe. There is only the, last stage of the journey to complete. It .1 allow you to travel saloon with me as an ordinary first class passenget: will you give me your word to play memmcks?’ For instance, in the case of Jabez Balfour, who was taken to England all the way from Buenos Aires. there was a strong suspicionâ€"probably ill foundedâ€"that he contemplated com- mitting suicide. Consequently Inspec- tor Froest. who had him in charge, de- cided to take no risks that he could possibly avoid. His only relaxation was an occa- sional game 'of chess with some of the passengers who kindly came to his cabin to “play With him by permission and in the presence of his keeper. This sea imprisonment lasted exactly one month and a day. and Balfour afterward declared that it was the most trying eXperience of a captivity that was destined to continue for nearly twelve years. Tangle of Red Tape In an Eng- lish Extradition Case. But he got few others. For twenty- three hours out of every twenty-four he was immured in a locked cabin. He was not permitted even to enter the public dining room. his meals being brought to him by Mr. F‘roest himself after the rest of the passengers had fed He was, besides. constantly watched and was subjected to a most rigorous search immediately on com- ing aboard. One of the longest and in its later stages one of the pleasantest voyages ever undertaken by an unconvicted criminal was that which Charles Hy!- ton Davidson. the notorious forger. made some years back in the custody of Chief Inspector Murray of the Ca- nadian department of justice. Murray tracked the wanted man to Mexico and secured his extradition to Canada. But then his difficulties be- gan. He could not bring his prisoner to Canada by the direct route through the United States. for immediately Davidson set foot in that country he could have demanded to be released. There was therefore nothing for it but to convey him by way of Jamaica and England and thence back across the Atlantic to Quebec. The law was, he was told. that a prisoner extradited from a foreign country to a British colony could not be kept in custody in England for longer than twenty-four hours, nor could he be taken as a prisoner on board a British ship sailing from a British port. Here was a dilemma. Davidson was tree as airâ€"had he only known it. But Murray was equal to the occasion. GETTING AROUND THE LAW. Only the Quick Wit of the Canadian Police Inspector Kept a Notorious Criminal in Custody When In Realty He Was as Free as the Air. On the voyage Murray kept David- son nnder close observation. although allowing him considerably more free- dom than Froest allowed Balfour. When. however. he had got safely as far as London he was both mortified and astonished at the likelihood of his having had all his trouble for nothing. 84 tea is the result of care and experience in blending --â€"must be the combination of fine flavor, smooth strength and richness.

A Cleveland Man’s Experience In a Toronto Restaurant. The Canadian brother certainly dit- fers from us in sex eral strongly mark- ed respects. A Cleveland man went into the leading restaurant of Toronto and said to the waiter in his custom- ary quick lunch voice: “Beg pahdon. sir!" The Cleveland man said it again and. being slightly irritated. said it faster. The waiter shook his head. “I’m afraid we ‘aven’t it, sir.” he deprecated. as Hashimura Togo might “Crackers ’n‘ milkâ€"cup coffeeâ€"apple hie.” The waiter beat a little lower. “Haven't you any crackers?" “No. sir.” Then. with a sudden in- spiration. “We “ave biscuits. sir.” Eating one’s words is seldom con- ducive to good digestion. If by any chance what we want to do comes close to coinciding with what we should do some misfortune makes ends refuse to connect. “I’ll inquire. sir." Then another in- spiration “We can give you cofl’ee. sir.” “Good! How about the apple pie?” “No. sir. We’ve never ’ad it to my knowledge. sir. I think there’s no call for it.” Another inspiration. “We ’ave apple tart. sir." “Fine! Bring me biscuits 'n‘ milkâ€" cotfeeâ€"apple cart. and be as quick as possible. please.” Even a grouch can’t help grinning when he sees a cute baby. if He Wore Bigger This Spider Would Be a Real Peril. Strangely enough, the one really dan- gerous spider on the American conti- nent is small, obscure and practically unknown to popular or journalistic hysteria. Latrodectus mactans is its scientific name. It is about the size of a large pea, black with a red spot on the backâ€"a useful danger signalâ€"and spins a small web in outhouses or around wood piles. So far as is known. its poison is the most virulent and powerful, drop for drop, secreted by any living creature. Cobra virus, in the minute quantity which the Iatro- dectns’ glands contain, would prob- ably have no appreciable efiect upon man, whereas the tiny spider’s ven- om, in the volume injected by the cobra’s stroke, would slay a herd of elephants Were this little known crawler as large as the common black hunting spider of our gardens and lawns its bite would be almost in- variably fatal. Happily the “red spot’s" fangs, being small and weak, can with difficulty penetrate the skin and are able to inject venom in dan- gerous quantity only when the bite is inflicted upon some tender skinned portion of the body. Nevertheless fa- talities consequent upon the bite of fiis insect are sufficiently well attestf ed to take rank as established scien- tific factsâ€"Samuel Hopkins Adams in Everybody’s. “All right; bring me biscuits. And you can give me some milk. can’t youâ€"milk in a bowl?” ” Bites. The safest way to measure your maximum bite longitudinally is to lay it out on an ear of corn. To get the depth of the bite, measure it in a slice of watermelon.-â€"Boston Globe. And the best way to determine the capacity of your bite is to watch you eat beans.â€"Cleveland Plain Dealer.
