se 46 8 Bird had lefit directions for reâ€" placing the standard, if ever it should be lost, but different scienâ€" tists following these directions proâ€" Aduced sticks varying widely in length. Therefore, a new standard was prepared, as nearly like the old as possible. In 1855 parliament adopted the standard yard that reâ€" mains to this day in England. It is provided that "the straight line or distance between the centers of the transverse linés in the two gold The new British standard of 1588 was called the Winchester yard. It was made of brass and remained the legal standard until 1826. The bar is in existence toâ€"day and ofâ€" fers ample evidence of the truth of the report made by a commissioner who examined it in 1742: ‘"A kitâ€" chen poker, filed at both ends, would make as good a standard. It has been broken and repaired so clumsily that the joint is nearly as loose as that of a %a'u of tongs." Nevertheless, the British officigle worried along with it until 1826, for the simple reason that they could not agree upon a new standard, The British had not yet learned, however, that accurate standards are hard to make, and that once made they are worth careful attenâ€" tion. In the great Loadon fire of 1824 the newly adopted standard was so badly damaged.that it seemâ€" ed worthless, Moreover, it soon disappeared completely, and was t found until 1891. _ No copies K:d been made, and the English were again without an â€" accurate standard. * : + § Our yard represents another unâ€" successful attempt to find a satisâ€" factory unit in nature. In the twelfth century Henry I. decreed that the yard should be the distance from the end of his nose to the end of his thumb ; we are not certain, however, in what position he held his arm and head when the meaâ€" surements were taken. He went so far as to have a metal bar of the proper length made, and then copâ€" ies were prepared, stamped and deâ€" clared to be roval measures. now in existence was prepared near the end of the fifteenth century in the reign of Henry VII. This stick, made of bronze, measures 35.924 of our modern inches in length, and was used as the English standard until 1588. The belief became common in the eightcenth century that such perâ€" ishable things as the king‘s arm made unsuitable standards; but it was thgughe that a unit in nature might be found in the pendulum. Thewmfore, a committee of parlia ment, in 1760, had John Bird preâ€" pare a standard, which measured 36.00002 of our inches, was not adopted for more than 60 years. Finally, in 1824, it was provided that Bird‘s yard should become the legal standard on the first day of January, 1826, The foot thus selected, though undoubtedly capable of consideraâ€" ble variation, was less elastic than the inch of our early ancestors. It was provided gnw in 1324, during the reign of ard II., that the inch should have the length of ‘"‘three barley corns, round and dry, laid end to end.‘" _ Barley corns differ much in length, even if round and dry ; therefore, it must have been possible to vary the inch at will. _ Strangely enough, howâ€" ever, this old unit based on the barley corn persists to this day in the numbering of shoes. Number 3 shoes are a third of an inchâ€"that is, one barley cornâ€"larger than No. 2; and so with other sizes. Footrules and yardsticks are so ecommon nowadays that not one person in a thousand ever stops to think of their origin. Yet the length of these common articles, says Popular Mechanics, was setâ€" tled upon only after centuries of correction and contention, and afâ€" ter thousands of years of unsueâ€" cessful effort to fnd an unchangeâ€" awhle unit in nature. j The foot has been used by so many nations, both ancient and modern, that all scientists believe it was meant to be the length of the human foot. The Greek foot, for instance, was supposed to be the length of the foot of the hero Herâ€" ecules. However, Hercules was a large man, so their unit measured 12.14 of our inches. The Macedonâ€" ians probably took their unit from the foot of some giant leader, for it was 14.08 inches in length. In the middle ages the foot in Geneva beâ€" came 19.21 inches, and one foot has been discovered actually 23.2 of our inches in length. On the other Tall Ones and Small Ones, as they happen to pass out when the service is finished; then make them put their left feet one behind the other, and the length thus obâ€" tained shall be the right and lawful rod to measure and survey the land with, and the sixteenth part of it shall be the right and lawful foot."

Predicting the Future From Baby‘s Pink Foot. Countess de la Rochefoucald, who traces her ancestry back to the bluest blood of France, is the heroâ€" ine of a new science. She reads the baby‘s foot. She predicts from the cradle the future of the tiny creature who reposes there. This latest science is called soleism. Countess de la Rochefoucald from her girlhood days has had a perfect mastery over palm reading, and so famous did she become in this vocaâ€" tion that whenever there was a dinâ€" ner party or afternoon tea she was besieged by hostess and guests to lay bare the fearsome mysteries that leave their imprints on the Palm reading had its limitations, however. Length of life, the trageâ€" dies or felicities of love, portending accidents, etc., ceased to interest her. A yearning toward the foreâ€" warnings of impending crime obâ€" sessed her. She believed the foot would be the medium by which one could tell the future criminal in the baby or point out the undiscovered murderer in the man. "I have not been able to follow the career of a child so marked, inâ€" asmuch as my experiments cover, practically, only a period of ten years; but whenever these signs of criminal tendencies have shown themselves, that baby has developâ€" ed into a cruel, brutalizing boy, "I was in Tunis a short while ago, and while thero visited the jail. To put my theory again to a further test, I asked the warden if he could bring into the antechamâ€" ber a number of prisoners who had been incarcerated for various crimes. This was done. ‘‘The prisoners there are always bareâ€"footed, so when a group were brought out I was not hampered by shoes.

One white woman he found, a Porâ€" tuguese, the queen of anâ€"African Nero. He became aware of a seâ€" eret society which flourishes in Central Africa. It is a eacred inâ€" stitution with hidden rites and ceremonies; Its purpose is to keep husbands in subjection, This is hardly the idea which the civilized world has of the place of woman in Africa, but as Mr, Crawford says, very nearly everything there is reâ€" versed according to white notions.

After you have lived in China for some time and studied its instituâ€" tions, the one thought that strikes you is the feeling of responsibility that pervades every phase of Chinâ€" ese ‘life.

A movement to increase the effiâ€" ciency of workers by inducing thent to sing while working has been set on foot by Jacques Vernes, the wellâ€" known French financier. _ * M. Vernes argues that France‘s industrial decline, as compared with other nations, is largely attriâ€" butable to the fact that modern Frenchmen have neglected the arts of song and dance. This theory has aroused lively discussion in the arâ€" tistic as well as the industrial cirâ€" cles of Paris. ror is yaka Two men were gambling in an obscure part of the town, in a room hidden away from observation. A dispute arose over the game; it ended in a fight, and one of them got a fatal stab. It was two o‘clock in the morning when the incident took place. The whole city was asleep, and the Tipao, the head man of the ward, and his family were in bed, so that he was entirely unâ€" aware of what was going on. His protestations that he knew nothing of the matter were received with a sneer, and with the remark, ‘‘Well, then, you ought to have known.‘"‘. Then came a telegram : "‘Bo sorry; unavoidably missed early train. Will be with you at 2.30, Don‘t get arried till I arâ€" rive. George." Picture the unhappy brideâ€"elect waiting at the church for her tardy lover. Of course, she knew about the latter‘s little failing. Still, as the minutes passed, and no George arâ€" rived, she rapidly sank into a conâ€" dition bordering on nervous colâ€" SUMMER CuMPLAINTS KILL LITTLE ONES ‘‘Never mind how,‘‘ was the offiâ€" cial answer ; "‘that is your business. The ward is in your charge, and you are the responsible person to look after it." George, in fact, was engaged to be married, and, in due course, his weddingâ€"day arrived. But, alas! the marriage was arranged to take place from the bride‘s home, which happened to be some thirty miles from George‘s home. Hence, needâ€" less to say, George failed at the critical moment to put in an apâ€" pearance. _ $ y a x This doctrine of responsibility is a very comfortable one to a foreigner when he is traveling through the country. The innkeepers where he lodges take the greatest care of him while he is under their roof, lest they be called to account for any injury done to him or his property. On one occasion a certain Boniface pursued a guest, who left early in the morning, for miles along the road, with some article that he had left behind him. The innkeeper was panting and perspiring when he got up with the traveler, and the latter was greatly amused when the innkeeper, with a pleased and virâ€" tuous look, handed him an empty matchâ€"box.

An exhibition of antiquities reâ€" cently discovered at Meroe has just been opened at Burlington House, London. Here there are to be seen plans indicating with perfect clearâ€" ness the various changes effected in the successive period of this royal city. Of the many objects brought to light by pick and shovel after long centuries of burial is a well carved statute, on the waist belt of which the name of King Netegâ€" Amen is preserved. This work reâ€" calls the characteristics of Ptolemaâ€" ic art, so that the date of this king may be placed early in the second century B.C. To the middle period also belongs a cup painted with curious scenes of torture. One shows a figure garrotâ€" ting, another somewhat in the faâ€" shion of the coup du Pere Francois, the second represents a figure tryâ€" ing to force on its body what apâ€" pears to be a spiked instrument, or it may be a drum held in front of the bodyâ€"the artist may have been a primitive cubist. Nor are the earâ€" lier and later periods without fresh evidence. The woman who does her own house work has the servant girl problem solved. Another significant discovery is the fragment of a good style red figure vase (circa 400 B. C.), which was found together with pieces of incised ware of coarse style and exâ€" amples of early painted vases. The Sudanese seem to be a race of more than ordinary intelligence, if not of great originality. This is proved by their ready adaptation of new ideas and customs. The wave of Hellenism that made so proâ€" found an impression on the local arts of Meroe may also have been responsible for the introductin of burial by cremation and ivs conseâ€" quent innovations in religious beâ€" lief. The Middle period lasted from B. CO. 300 to B. C. 22, and it is inâ€" ferred that between this period and the early Meroitic (B. C. 650â€"300) some catastrophe overwhelmed the city, which, as Prof. Garstang says, may have remained:> deserted for some time. Minard‘s Liniment Cures Distampor.
