Making Fuel of 8udd. Tbs sudd of the White Nile, whleh Is to be manufactured into fuel, consists mainly of papyrus and "gum soof* reed, with masses of earth clinging to the roots. It accumulates in great blocks twenty feet thick, over which
a man can walk.
The effect of these blocks upon the river may be Illustrated by the fact that when clearance operations were carried out after the fall of the Khalifa the removal of one block alone brought the level of the rfver above down by five feet in four days. When another h irst the floating vegetable mutter took thirty-six hours to pass a given point. One block removed later was seven miles long. It was found 1mTossib's to blow up the sudd, which was too elastic, so that the explosive oply made large holes In It. The method was to burn the surface matter, dig great trenches in the remainder and tii n ivg with a Eteam.er.—

An Early Clrd: the Window Cleaner. "I had rend In the want advertisements," said a householder, “calls for window cleaners to apply at C o’clock A. M. and I wonder'd why they should want window cleaners to come around at tliat hour of the day; but we had one come to our bouse tills morning at a quarter past 7 o'clock, and that was some early, we thought; and then with that to set us thinking we figured out why they want cleaners to report at c o’clock. "They start out the first of them on store and ofllne windows. There's work that’s to be done, or that ought to be done, before customers and people begin to get around; and to do this they have to get an early start. Hence the call for window cleaners at G A. M.”—New York Sun.

C. George Meredith in the days of his extremes! penury Joined with those other three young men in their bachelor eetahlishment. The state of his boots, we are told by one of the biographers, at length aroused the solicitude of his fellow tenants, who one night stealthily repia-ed them by a new pair. But Meredith was so much piqued by what was meant In all kindness that he withdrew from the fellowship the next day.—London Daily News.

Guard for Children's Eyesight. “Force the children to take hack rests at the moving piefure show," is the advice of an English auihoritjr, who says that no child should b* allowed to sit nearer than thiny feet away from the curtain. "Children as a rule like to crowd down to the front of the show and the parent sees no cause for objection. But parents are making the ill effects of the flickering shadow p! -lures Ignorant of the fact that the nearer tiie child is to the front the worse the effect upon the immature eye As many parents accompany their children to these slew's let. them force the children to take back seats, thirty or forty feet back If possible. It would he even a better idea If the m mage- j ment of these shows would prescribe 1 a line beyond which the child would ' not be allowed to sit.

Two young smartly dressed Ian ladies wearing large beehive h its on arrival at Bellegarde in the t.eneva-i’arts express declared nothing and ostentatiously opened their baggage at the dounane. An official, however, noticed that they seemed to experience much difficulty in balancing tboir large hats on tlie:r heads and the ladies were requested to pass Into a private room, where their headgear was examined. The roofs of the beehives contained not honey but saccharine packed in airtight boxes fitted Ingeniously into the hats. On the ladles paying a heavy fine they were allowed to continue tha Journey minus the saccharine but retaining their hats, which might have been confiscated also. — London Chronicle. The Song of the Shirt. This has been a particularly perilous season for the man with a passion for shirts By some diabolical agreement all the haberdashers at one and the same time filled their windows with luscious lavenders and faint green stripes and soft silk shirts with confortable French cuffs, and marking out $11 or $3, as the case might be. wrote $!.f><) or $2.GO below The song of the shirt was loud in the land. Its haunting melody not to be resisted Is there any lure for a woman In all the fluffy mystery of a January "white sale” tomparable to the seduction for a man of a lavender shirt marked down from $2 to $t.50f t doubt It. Heaven help the woman if there is!—Atlantic.
The Versatile Valasque*. “There's many a true word spoken by accident." F H. Smith, the artist, says: “I dropped In at a picture saJe. The autioneer displayed a daub and said: "Now. ladies and gentlemen, what am I offered for this superb Velasquez, probably the best Velaequea that ever came from the master's hand.” "There were no bids whatever, s« the auctioneer took up another picture. •' ’Very well, ladies and gentlemen, he went on 'I now offer you a Titian by the same artist.”*—Londo* Opinion
A Trifts Withered. In hla native tongue no one could have made more graceful speechee than M. Blanc, but when he essayed compliments in English he was not quite so successful.

Reflection of Ultra-Violet Light. Prof. J. von Kowalski, In a letter to Nature (London), describes his observations of the spectra of sunlight reflected by snowflelds in Switzerland. He finds that the ultra-violet rays are reflected by snow almost in their entirety. This fact helps to explain the try it effects of* such light upon the eyes, and suggests the advisability of .earing, during a period of snow and sunshine, glasses that are obaqra to the ultra-violet rays. Send Missionaries to Their Enemies. In illitFiruting her belief that Indians are ryot as bqd as people are often led to believe Mrs. Ma Vose Woodbury, field secretary of the American Missionary Society, said that the Sioux triha raises $300 every year to send a mis.,binary to their worst enemies, the Crows, because the Bible tolls them to lore their enemies.—Wa-hlngton Star.
