Th« Englishman Spoke. In a second class railway carriage, going from lausuune to Faris. I oinu passed a ulght of conflict On my side ] were a Swl** who spoke English and an Englishman who didn t speak. Out opponents were two members of a I.atin race. They wauled the windows shut. We wanted at ieust one window (pea. Our common cause drew the I throe of uh together. At first the Englishman's expression had seemed to wonder whether the Swiss mid the American were quite worthy to prefer I fresh air. As the night wore on this expression waned, and 1 thought I detected a trace of sympathy In the glances be sparingly aimed ut us. In answer to my question the Swiss explained bls mastery of the English language by saying he had learned without a teacher, just by sitting near an open window in a tub of cold water. At this the Englishman almost npoke. Morning came. He tilled his pipe mid began to hunt through his pockets for matches. The Swiss offered him a box. “Thank you,” he said gravely; “I prefer my awn,” mid went ; u& bunting New Republic. Colors of the Opal. In Judging mt opal color is of the greatest Importance. Bed fire or red In combination with yellow, blue and given is the beat Blue by Itself is quite valueless, and the green opal is not of great value unless the color is very vivid and the pattern v«y good. The color must be true—that is to say, it must not run in streaks or patches, alternating with a colorless or Inferior quality. Pattern is an important factor. the several varieties being known us "pin tire" when the grain is very small, "harlequin" when the color Is in small squares, the more regular the better, and the “flash tire," or "flash opal.” when the color shows as a single flash or in very large pattern. Harlequin is the most common and Is also popularly considered the most beautiful. When the squares of color are regular and show as distinct minute becks of red. yellow, blue and green it Is considered magnificent. Some stones show better on edge than on top. - Exchange.

Barrels. A barrel is not always a barrel, for, .according to a Massachusetts judge, the matter of state lines has considerable to do with It Some time since a Boston mnn purchased 200 barrels of sweet potatoes in the state of Maryland. When the sweet potatoes arrived in Boston the purchaser sold one barrel just as it had come from Maryland. but It appears that the barrel weighed only 129 pounds instead of 150 pognds, the legal weight in Massachusetts. In that state when a person buys a barrel of potatoes the weight must be not less than 150 pounds. The Massachusetts courts ruled that the purchaser of the Maryland sweet potatoes violated the law when he sold the barrel that was underweight, although the barrel was a legal one In Maryland. Therefore a barrel is not a barrel In Massachusetts when It weighs less than 150 pounds.—L’ticn Press. Penetration of Light. Experiments show that light can be seen through a clean cut opening of not more than one forty thousandth of an Inch. This fact was determined by taking two thoroughly fl can straight edges and placing a piece of paper between the surfaces at one end, the opposite end being allowed to come together. The straight edges being placed between the eye and a strong light in n dark room, a wedge of light was perceived from the ends between which the paper was placed and the opposite, which were brought together. The thickness of the paper being known, the distance apart of the two edges of the small end of the wedge of light was easily calculated. Irving’s Intensity. The piercing eyes and Intense expression of Henry Irving once had the effect of making a fellow actor altogether forget that he was on the stage at all. It occurred in Manchester during a performance of "Macbeth,” and tn the scene where Macbeth says to one of the murderers, "There's blood upon thy face!” Irving put so much earnestness into his words that the murderer forgot his proper answer (“’Tls Banquo’s, then”) and replied in a startled voice: "Is there? Great Scot!” He fancied, as he afterward said, that he’d broken a blood vessel. Synthetic Dyes. The raw materials from which almost all the synthetic dyes are made are only nine or ten direct products of coal tar. These are transformed cheinleally Into from 250 to 300 intermediate products, which in their turn yield about 1,200 chemically distinct dyestuffs. Among the processes employed are high temperatures, great pressures and low refrigeration. His Query, "You’ve been sentenced to twenty years’ hard labor. With good time you can cut that down, of course,” said the lawyer. “Good time!” exclaimed the prisoner. “How’s a guy going to have any good time In prison?’—Detroit Free Press. Slow Pay. “Does your father object because I’m pay ing attention to you?” ’‘No. Paw says he’s glad to see you paying something, If it’s only attention.”—Buffalo Express, True thrift, according to Robert Louis Stevenson, is to earn a little and spend a little less.
