DePAl W UNIVERSITY NOTES •

It Demands Much Hard Work and Unlimited Patience. “To lie a successful Juggler it is necessary to possess infinite patience. Some tricks require such long and continuous practice that unless a man possessed great patience anil unlimited powers of perseverance he would despair of ever being able to perform them.” says Paul Clnquevalli In the St. Louis Post-Dfs-patch. “Taken trick, for example, like balancing a tall glass on four straws placed on the forehead. It looks easy enough, but It took me years of practice before I could do it. While I am balancing the glass I also juggle with five hats at the same time. I never, as a matter of fact, see the hats. They are h/nded to mo by my assistant, and I then set them going, but the whole time my eyes are fixed on the straws upon v, bit It the glass Is balanced. If I took i y eyes from the straws for a hundredth part of a second their balance would be upset. 1 know instinctively where the hats are all the time and know exactly where each hat Is when I put out my baud to catch It. “It took me close on eight years’ practice before I was able to balance two billiard balls on top of each other and then balance the two on a billiard cue. I started practicing It an hour a day, as a rule. After a couple of years’ practice one night I woke up, having dreamed that 1 had performed It. 1 got up. rushed downstairs and began to practice with my cue and two billiard balls, and tit the first attempt 1 balanced them. About five years later I performed the feat In public. “For the cannon ball trick I first used a wooden ball weighing just one pound. I caught it on the wrong place and was knocked senseless, but I kept on practicing until I found out how to do It. Now 1 use an iron ball weighing sixty pounds. If I didn’t catch tho ball on the right place on the hack of my neck It would kill me. but there is uo chance of my making a mistake.”

Surfacing Natural Wood. White pine, birch, cherry, whitewood, maple, sycamore, gum and hemlock need no filling at all. They are classed as the close grained woods, and their surface presents no pores or cellular tissue to be filled. Still the surface needs to l»e scaled up so the wood will not suck the oil out of the varnish. This Is called surfacing. It consists of coating the surface with shellac and then sandpapering down to a smooth finish. When thus treated the wood Is ready for the varnish.

Riding 4he Rail. t A Georgia paper says, "He who rides on the rail courts death.” It was an Irishman, ridden on a rail, who said that except for the honor of the tliii A lie would just as soon walk.— Houston 1’ost.

It Was There. Composer—Did you hear the torment and despair in my tone poem, “Tantalus,” that 1 just played you? Listener—No, but 1 noticed them on the faces of the audience.—FlUgende Blatter.

When a man can tell his principles from his prejudices he Is tolerably edncated.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

PITFALLS OF ENGLISH. Our Puzzling Language and Its Words of More Than One Meaning. Of all modern languages English is undoubtedly the most difflcnlt to acquire. lu uddition to the ordinary pitfalls of forms and idioms that entrap the foreigner struggling for mastery of a strange tongue, there is oue so pecuMar to ours that nothing even remotely similar presents Itself In any other language, whether ancient or ms.dern. This Is the paradoxical word, the word which lias two gleanings diametrically opposed to each other. It Is not enough that, with all the wealth of words borrowed from half a score of other languages, we must impose a double and often a multiple burden on some poor little monosyllabic word like •’get,” for Instance, whose meanings are legion. Our language must needs confound the student at tho gates with the paradox. To give a few examples: The word "let” menus to "allow” or “permit” and likewise to "prevent,” "hinder” or “refuse," meanings diametrically opposite. “I will let you do it” in the former sense Is hardly more common in use than the phrase “without let or hindrance," and Shakespeare bas It, “By heaven, I’M make a ghost of him that lets (prevents) me!” “Cleave” means to split asunder as well as to "adhere” or “bind” closely. Scott makes Marmion threaten to “cleave the Douglas’ head,” while holy writ enjoins upon the husband to “cleave unto bis wife.” Another example is "lurid,” which means both a “dull red" and also a “pale green" hue, tints that are exactly opposed In the scale of color. While the former is the more common mean lug, Hie latter is more scholarly cor reet, as the word Is derived through the Latin from the Greek adjective meaning "greenish hued.” Again, we have “fast." A horse that Is "fast" may be in rapid motion or standing tied stock still. In either sense, whether of motion or Immobility, the word emphasizes the idea. Examples of this bewildering pitfall of our tongue might be multiplied indefinitely. It may be said of the Lnglish speaking world as it was said of the old Romans—that their suprem acy Is due to the fact that they do not have to learn their own language. —Chicago Record-Herald.

YEAST IS A PLANT.

But It Can Ba Seen as Such Only With tha Microscope* Yeast is a small plant which can be seen only with the aid of tin* microscope, says Good Health. There are two varieties, wild and cultivated, for these tiny plants can be Improved through cultivation, as larger plauts cau be. Firms which make yeast for the market must grow these plants quite as carefully as the florist grows his flowers. Care must lie taken that they do uot become mixed with other varieties, therefore destroying the culture lu some laboratories where yeast is grown two separate buildings are kept for this purpose. These are liottr carefully disinfected, and if It is found that the yeast becomes contaminated in oue building the culture is started anew and the other building previously disinfected before moving into it. This plant, like bacteria, requires warmth, moisture aud food. The materials out of which the bread Is made should always lie warmed, aud the dough should always be kept In a warm place. The temperature most favorable is about that of the body, a little less than 100 degrees. There Is always considerable moisture lu bread and plenty of food for the plant. The food which it requires Is sugar. This it obtains from the wheat, there being some sugar in the flour, and more sugar is also formed from the starch. As the yeast plants feed upon sugar they break It down Into two substances, alcohol and a gas known as carbon dioxide or carbonic acid gas As the gas Is formed It Is held by the gluten, which Is a very elastic substance. When the bread is put into the oven the heat expands the tiny bubbles of gas, causing the bread to rise or to become much lighter. The alcohol formed, being n volatile product passes off into the baking.

Progres*. The martyr cannot be dishonored Every lash inflicted Is a tongue of flame, every prison a more illustrious abode. Every burned I took or house enlightens the world. Every suppressed or expunged word reverberates throiifb the earth from side to side. It Is the wblpper who is whipped, the tyrant who is undone.—Emerson.

Twenty minutes before trail time 1 appeared in overnhs at the engine, which was standing re !y on the track, to make my own inspection of her and do ray own oiling When wo pulled out I felt like a bird let outofa cage.

In foil vigor of nerve and muscle. 1 had flf ured carefully just what time I moat make on different parts of the road and was In every way prepared for tbo trial. 1 had never driven an i nginefor any length of time over liny milesaa hour, and up to that point there is no great strain on an engineer I did not realize that an average man can't stand many spurts at six:, five miioi an hour and in some places I must do seventy: 1 got on pretty well for the tint three hours, though I had m lea number of my fast paces, but after that I began to suffer. Looking straight ahead continuously, soein;: at the same time things out of tin* corners of mj eyes whizzing by me. made me feel ns if something was pulling mj sight nerve out through the snekeU. Some of my fastest spurt came In about this time, anti every lew minutes I was frightened half out of my sensei Tho first thing to rattle me was seeing something black on the track dead ahead of mo.
