When one strikes a common sulphur match the phosphorus burns with a pur-plish flame, then the sulphur with a yel-low hue, and last of all the wood glows with reddish rays. From noticing that every substance yields its own peculiar color in burning, Sir John Herschel long aR0 suggested that these colors might serve trf identify the substances showing them. Some time after he threw out the suggestion the spectroscope was de-vised, and now by its aid we are able to tell what elements are aglow, not only in the sun, but in the stars as well.-Ge- orge lies in New York Sun. ifii" IN THIBET.

' , people of Thibet have the wav of making tea have ever heard of." said Kockhill, that faraway THE most cucoiil "To begin with, the they use comes from Ciiinii in the shape of which are pressed in-to Biieli convenient shape for carry-ing overland. All soiti of teas arc made iuto bricks for purposes or transportation across Asia, it being very well understood by connoisseurs in the herb that a sea trip spoils it. But the tea imported into Tibet is of very poor quality as a rule. There is in it as much weight of twigs as of leaves. "Having pounded a portion of the brick tea in some sort of mortar, the Tibetan housewife puts it in a large cop-per vessel and there permits it to boil over a fire made from dry manure. The resulting solution she pours into a queer looking wooden churn through a coarse willow basket that serves as a strainer. To the liquid in the churn, before pro-ceeding further, she adds a portion of butter and some salt. The mixture is then churned up in ordinary fashion, and, when it is thoroughly mixed, is poured into a teapot of bronze. From the teapot it is dispensed iuto the little cup shaped vessels which each Tibetan carries with him or her. "The cup shaped vessel I refer to is usually of wood, sometimes lined with ilver. Tibetans employ it not only as their sole driuking utensil, but also as a a,isn ivs ..:a f W7liof. ranRlimn oujiu ivj.A. . - - mainly as a substantial diet is parched barley. When a gentleman of Tibet feels hungry he sits down and, taking from a leather pouch a portion of barley, he mixes a little water with it, and, stirring it up into a dough, eats it in that shape. Thus hunger is satisfled, and he goes on his way rejoicing. In what we call the pleasures of tho table the Tibetan takes no stock whatever. There never was a typical Asiatic yet who cared anything about amusement in the ordinary sense cf the word. He doesn't go to the theatre there is no such institution in the land of the lamas. Nor does he indulge in any other rational enjoyment of civilization, though he does not scorn what might be called the primary vices. "Tibet is a very cold country, but its inhabitants do not warm themselves by the consumption of fuel. When the weather is chilly thpy simply puton more clothes-i- proportion as tho mercury might fall, if there was a thermometer to register the temperature by. Their gar-ments consist mainly for each individual of a voluminous cloak, with Bleeves and a high collar, under which a shirt is sometimes worn. Boots, with soles of raw hide ana uppers oi ciom anu are made for them in China. For rainy days a circular cape of felt is provided. "The gun used by a Tibetan has a long fork attached to it, which is stuck in the ground for use as a rest for the weapon. Naturally the deadly instrument is of primitive pattern, intended to be set off with a priming, and the native wears at-tached to his belt a number of little brass cones, each of them containing an exact load of gunpowder. Those people of the country who live on the great ele-- , rated plains or steppes dwell in black tenta; but the villagers reside usually in two story stone houses, the lower Btory being given up to a stablo for the cattle. Not all of Tibet, as is popularly supposed, is actually subject to China. The coun-try is divided up, politically speaking, into many tribes, and not a few of these tribes are governed by chiefs who owe no allegiance to anybody not even to the Chinese emperor."

"The wearing of finger rings lias been almost universal, und the custom began at a very early period of the world's history. Some tra-ditions say that Tubal Cain was the first one to decorate his fingers with a dainty piece of metal. ' The first authentic reference to finger rings occurs in the Old Testament, whore Judah's signet ring is mentioned. It is also evident that they were in use among the Egyptians at that time, for Pharaoh is said 'to have taken the ring off his own finger and put it on Joseph's hand when he made hiin ruler over Egypt. The Egyptians were evidently very fond of rings, for the hands of female mummies that have been found have been profusely decorated with rings, many of them having very costly ones on every finger. The poorer class seem n hnvH worn rines. too. but of cheaper material, such as bronze, glass and pot-tery. The ancient Chaldeans and Per-sians used to wear rings. In those days rings seem to have been worn not so much for ornament as for They were used for practical purposes. sealing. The Romans used to wear signet rings of iron, and every free man had the right to wear one. ' Ambassadors in the early days used to wear gold rings as a part of their official dress. Thispriv-ileg- e of wearing rings was afterward ex-tended to chief magistrates and senators. The emperors used to confer this right upon those whom they wished to favor. Nowadays the wearing of rings lias no particular significance except the wed-ding ring or the engagement ring. Any-body who wants to and who can afford to purchase one can wear a signet ring. The custom of wearing rings is a very popular one, and the manufacture of them forms one of the most important branches of the jewelers' industry. New York Mail and Express. CONTEMFUIF COURT. A Western Judge's Difficulty in Saving a Prisoner From Himself. DEATH IN A BATH TANK. Saved By His Beauty-Amer- ican Flour in England We Are Millio-nairesNotes. stories of early western arc almost as numerous incredible as the bear of that part of our THE Tho following which is vouched lor as is of a judge who had a lofty W'a f ms own capacity and was at the same tiiuo anxious to sustain meuigimy of his court. .. A "shooting case" came before niai. direct evidenco as to the There, was no perpetrator of the murder, but the indi-vidual arrested was well known, and, indeed, confessed the deed. When brought into court the judge cautioned the prisoner not to commit himself; that he must remember his rights as a free citizen, and that, above all things, he must not interrupt the pro-ceedings of the court. After the friend-ly warning the judge proceeded to state that lie, the prisoner, was accused of having, on such a date, shot the deceased. Upon this the prisoner broke in, "Wal, an1 so I did." The judge was annoyed at the inter-ruption. "Hold your tongue, sir!" he exclaim- - ed. "Haven't I told you not to commit yourself nor to interrupt me? I shall commit you for contempt of court if you do so again!" he added, sternly. He then repeated the accusation, upon which the prisoner again broke in: "I have told ye afore that I killed' The judge's indignation was intense at this second interruption, and he demand-ed: "Mr. Sheriff, what is your evidence?" "I have nothing but circumstantial evidence, yoit honor, and the prisoner's own confession." "Then," said the judge, "I discharge the prisoner on this accusation, but com-mit him for contempt of court." Youth's ComDanion. Four Million Miles of Blood. The mathematical fiend has recently been at work upon a calculation of the work performed by the human heart His calculations are curious and give the work of the heart in miles and beats. It is based upon the presumption that the heart beats sixty-nin- e times each minute and throws blood nine feet. Computed thus the mileage of the blood tnrougn the body might be taken as 207 yard, per minute, 7 miles per hour, 168 miles per day, 01,320 miles per year, or 4,29j,-40- 0 miles a lifetime of 70 years! St. Louis Republic. Weak Hearts Not Common. Weak hearts are by no means so com-mon as is often supposed. Many a man who thinks he has got one is merely dys-peptic; many a woman owes her symp-toms to tight lacing or insufficient feed-in- g. If the dyspepsia be cured and the tight lacing dispensed with the symptoms of heart weakness will disappear. Even when the heart is genuinely "weak," the weakness is not always due to special disease of that organ. It may be only weakness of the whole part of a general system, which is easily curable.

Those who never were amateur photographers don't realize that there is anything to it but pull the string and press the button. They don't know how it feels to sneak through the streets with a camera under one arm and encounter the suspicious gaze of every man, woman and child who knows tliat such a thing as photog-raphy exists. There isn't anybody who gets within sight of an instantaneous machine who doesn't promptly reach tho conclusion that he is to he made the victim of a photographic conspiracy. Sometimes this self selected victim will stand around in an effort to look pretty and make it as pleasant for the picture taker as possible, and sometimes ho will issue a peremptory challenge to mortal combat. You cau never tell. And after the photograph is obtained it is as likely as not that the houses will look like Chinese pagodas in a horrible whirl of dissipation, while the pictures of your friends make you sorry that they aren't your enemies. There are lots of rules that go with amateur photography, but the otdy true, reliable way to deal with a camera is to take it out somewhere and carefully break it. Washington Post. Nothing tike Politeness. , It was on the rear platform of a street car, as a crowd was going home from the theatre. "Let's see," mused a man who was jammed on the railing to the one on his left, "have we been introduced?" "I think not. My name is Taylor." "Ahl And mine is Porter. Mr. Tay-lor, you are throwing time away trying to get my watch, it is an old one and out of repair, and won't bring you $3." Detroit Free Press. Points n Moral. An English medical commission has made some experiments on female monk-eys to discover the effect of tight lacing. The monkeys were put into a plaster of paris jacket to imitate stays, and a tight bandage was bound about the waist to imitate tho petticoat band. Several of them died, and all showed serious inju-ries resulting from the treatment. Phil-adelphia Ledger. Death In a Bath Tank. A friend of mine, who occupied an important consular post at Singapore, had a very narrow escape from death like this: lie hnd a Malay house steward who alone had access to his bedroom. This man was apparently most devoted to him, but the wife of one of the under-servan- ts having complained that the steward had offered her an affront, the consul had severely reprimanded him and forbidden him to speak to the wom-an apain on pain of dismissal. The next rooming my friend, who was an exceed-ingly enrly riser, left his couch at the first rays of dawn, and went as usual to the marblo tank in the recess from his bedroom, where he always began his toilet with a shower bath. He was on the point of stepping into the tank,when his attention was attracted by something glittering in the half darkness. , ( He stepped back ana orew asiae me lattice, admitting tho full light of morn-ing. Thete in the marble basin, where in another moment he would have placed his bare foot, lay coiled up an echys, with head erect, preparing to spring. He summoned tho steward, but he was no-where to be found, and he was never heard of again. The other servants killed the snake, which had undoubted-ly been placed there by the steward from a motive of revenge. E. L. Wakeuian in Pittsburg Dispatch. Where American Export Wheat Is Sold. American flour chokes the waterside warehouses and overflows into many country channels, not only in London, but Liverpool, while Glasgow is the great mart for it in the north. Pacific coast flour is not salable iu London; the cargoes generally find their way to the northwestern ports of England, or to Ireland. London Agricultural Gazette. Mom on Electrlo Lights. A florist in London, Kngland, has had the hannv thought of Iwnging trails of moss over and around the electric lights in his window. The green and yellow tints of the delicate leaves form a lovely veil for the light,, which glimmers through them without being diminished. Chicago Mail, A Remarkable Tlallway In Chill. Tho Nitrate railway between Iijuique and Pisagtta. Chili, is a remarkable ex-ample of engineering skill. Starting from Iqiiique, it is carried along the face of a precipitous cliff, overlooking the town, to a station culled Mollee, oight miles from Iquiiu, situate 1,600 foet above the sea level. The gradients are extremely steep, and some of the curves have a radius of only 450 feet. The en-gines used on this line have been specially constructed with the view of overcoming these obstacles. They are built with a double set of boilers, over a central fire-box, with a funnel at each end, present-ing an aspect wholly unknown on any other line. Their weight ranges up to ninety tons. Montreal Star. Thirst of Wood Plueons. Wood pigeons, in common with all their congeners, are very fond of water. They are essentially, thirsty, drinking, not like most other birdal sip by sip, but as a horse drink", at one long draught. Water is also necessary to them for bath-ing purposes. Montreal Star.

Every little while the continental news-papers publish accounts of what they are pleased to call "American duels," though, why American is beyond comprehen-sion, since such idiotic affairs were never heard of this side the Atlantic. At O.er-nowit- z, in Austria, a youth of 18 was re-cency found dead iu lod, having poi-soned himself with strychnine. He left a letter to his mother, in which ho ac-counted for his self murder by saying that he had agreed with a comrade to fight an "American duel," which con-sists simply in drawing lots to see which of two fools ahull kill himself. San Francisco Chronicle. Saved by His Beauty. It is rarely, indeed, that a man's life is preserved by his beauty, for it is a quali-ty more likely to lose than to save, but it was the case with Lord Ponsonby. He told me the anecdote himself as far as the risk of life which he ran, but he left others to inform me of tho cause of his rescue. Ho was not 20 when ho passed through Paris in 1791. War had not been declared, but there was a strong feeling against England. At that time the lamps were hung across the streets hence the cry, "A la lanterne!" When any unhap-py victim was taken the process of hanging him was a very simple one. Lord Ponsonby, walking in the Rue St. Honore, w as so unfortunate as to fall in with the mob, who seized him with the cry: "Voila un agent de Pitt! un sacre Anglais! a la lanterne!" (He is too fine a boy to be hanged.) The lamp was taken down, the cords placed round his neck, aud he was actually hanging in the air when the women, who played such a prominent part throughout the revolu-tion, rushed forward aud cut the cords. "Cost un trop joli garoon pour etre pen-du-was the cry. He fell on the pave-ment and was immediately carried off by his protectors and carefully tended. Blackwood's. ' A LOVE BRIEF. Give me short words and sweet yet strong as. sweet In which to speak the love I bear to thee, Who art not slow of wlfs keen sense to see How In small cools of flro glows the white heat; While, as In straw's tall blaze that lights the street. But sinks at once to naught, small warmth may be So, what makes love of worth full oft shall flee From large, loDg words where sense, like sound, is fleet. Wide as the sea, and deep, my love I boast. Nor gauge It by wild streams, that brawl and rush-- To flaunt and fling their pride forth in a fall And by my words, as types, I think that most Its iength and breadth and depth thy cheeks shall flush With ose tints pure as thy sweet name I call. William C. Richards in America. Church Since' Salaries. " A woiuan with a good contralto voice will begin at an annual salary of $200, which, if she is successful, may rise to an average of $300. There are two churches in Philadelphia, I believe, which pay their contraltos 100; but this, in cities outside of Boston, which aver-age about $300 higher, is unusual. And even a genuine alto that rarest of things in these days will command but from $300 to $400 per annum. The Hub, of course, does better than this, by ad-ding $300; but even with this addition, none of those salaries appear precisely extravagant, or to admit of much luxury in. living, and salaries are rarely in-creased. Should a rival church make au offer for a voice, if tho first church is ' desirous of retaining it. the rival's price is.overbid and tho voice retained. But this ia tho only reason of which I have any knowledge for increasing salaries. vLadies' Homo Journal.

The millers of London have for their grists tho wheats of the whole world, and they necessarily possess machinery which is capable of taking out all tho flour there may be present in wheats of all sizes, colors and natures, and yet they are not happy, because up to a certain point (that of the London "households" Hour) Uncle Sam can beat them at value for money. Not only so, but the Ameri-can millers can beat us both above and below that point; in fact, can beat the whole world at selling flour, as they are dojng, only that the American people eat She best aud sell the rest, whereas some other exporting countries. Austria-Hungar-for example, do just the other tiling. London Agricultural Uazette, The Formatlou of the Ear, " The ear is worth studying from an an-atomical point of view. Beginning with the outer fold or ridge, called the helix, , which forms the outline, tho ear is com-posed of thin cariillage aud integument. The next prominent ridgo is the anti-heli-which some people have very large-ly developed, but in a well formed ear projects very little beyond the helix. The little knob that projects from tho foot of the antihelix is called the antitragus, and the corresponding knob on the other side the tragus. Tho deep well in the center of the oar. the concha, so termed from its shell like form, plays the most im-portant part iu reflecting the vibrations into the inner ear; in fact, all these pro-jections and depressions are of import-ance to our hearing and play their own parts in conveying tho undulations of sound to the drum of the car. Pall Mall 1 Uaaette. A New Sheathing for Milp. A few years ago tho Japanese govern-ment decided on lacquering tho bottoms of all their iron ships, and the results proved that corrosion was most effective-ly prevented. The process does not seem to have been applied to foreign Bhips un-til about two years ago, when the atten-tion of the captain of a Russian frigate was directed to it, and lacquer was ap-plied both to tho iron and unc parte of tho bottom. To the latter it was found that the adhesion of the lacquer was very light, but on the iron, or rather steel, it was found that it was in an extra-ordinary good state of preservation, so much so that it could not be stripped off except by being scraped with a sharp in-strument, and from the experience thus gained it has been decided to substitute iron on the part where zino had been used. Manufacturer. We Are All Millionaires. Teresa H. Dean has written a treatise on "How to Be Beautiful," from which one is surprised, pleasantly, to rind that we are all millionaires in pores. Miss Teresa says that 2,800 pores go to each square inch of skin, aud reckoning the number of square inches on a person of ordinary size to be 2,500, the multiplica-tion table tells one that one possesses about 7,000,000 pores. This is nn exten-sive responsibility. Pall Mall Budget. Au AuUmiatio Chca Board. Some of the monasteries of Italy and Fiance sent curious inventions to the Paris exposition. A certain monastery la Brittany, France, contributed a plain looking mahogany table, with an inlaid chess board on it surface. The inventor, or any one who desires, sets the places for a game and sits alone on one side of the board. He plays cautiously, and the opposite pieces move automatically, and quite frequently come out the victor, no odds how scientifically the player plays.
