Th* Color of Water. The waters of the seas, lakes, river* and streams la general are very often colored. For instance, the water of the Mediterranean sea Is not colorless, but green-blue; also there is a brilliant red river in South America. The St. Lawrence, in Canada. Is pale green and the Ottawa golden brown. Where these two rivers meet quite frequently whole broad patches remain unmixed. Her* Is a gold patch and there a green one. Otherwise than this water reflects the colors of its surroundings, and a so colled “Emerald pool” in the White mountains is greeu because the birch** on Its borders Ln early summer ar* brilliant green. The Blue grotto, in Capri. Italy, shows a remarkably rl«h e*l*r, noar to green-blue, tiecause all th* light received in that grotto com** threugb th* water at Its entraßco. and. as has been said, the Mediterranean ta green-blue.

That will be a vegetable dye.— St. Nicholas. Paderewski's Distinction. Thor* w*» a day when Paderewski's Engiiah was not fluent One evening before a ci»*lc* company In hfs elegant apartments in New York he was showing a few highly flattered callers h*w to do thfa. that and t'other on the keys of his grand piano, explaining In bad English as he went.

Th* famous artist, landing with both hands as If he had just dropped from the ceiling, exclaimed, ‘‘Harmony 7’ All applauded the perfect concord. He shot down again like a triphammer and would have exclaimed again, but the word refused to come. “What you call—er—er"- “Discord.” put in the supplier of words. Paderewski's hair stood straight out, and his fac* was white and red with anger. Jumping up from the stool, he sputtered: “Deescort! No! With me a deescort iss eemposslblq!” He would not be persuaded to touch the Instrument again that night. The unintentional insult struck deep. No Sene* of Humor. “Fog Eye” Smith of northwest Wyoming bore an appalling facade. His style of beauty was a blight. Depending upon his horrific exterior, he was in the habit of trying to awe newcomer*. On one occasion, affecting some displeasure at th* manner In which a pallid stranger watered his liquor. Mr. Smith announced, frowning, that unless ho detected immediate amendment he would send the neophyte home in a market basket. “Which I’ll, sure tear you up a whole lot.” said Fog Eye. Half an hour later Mr. Fog Eye was found groping about on the floor under the poker table hunting forjiisjrlass eye and muttering,to him-

"He la the last person, my son, that an article reaches in Its commercial existence." “I know what you mean. He's a; man who goes Into a hotel and orders chicken hash.”— Washington Star. Queer Men. "Some men are so queer!” "And you are going to tell me of one particularly queer one.” "Yes. It's Mr. Barberton.
