THE CURIOSITY SHOP.

The Calendar—Pope Gregory Beckons Ten Days Ahead. About forty-five years before Christ, Julius Caesar decreed that every fourth year should be held to consist of 366 days, for tho purpose of using up the odd hours. Seeing that a day every fourth year was too much, it followed that the beginning of the year moved onward. From the time of the council of Nice, in 325, when the vernal equinox fell correctly on the 21st of March, Pope Gregory found, in 1583, that there had been an over reckoning to the extent of ten days, and at that time the vernal equinox fell on the 11th of March. To correct this, he decreed that the 5th of October of that year should be reckoned as the 15th, and to- keep the years right in the future, the overplus being eighteen hours, twenty-seven minutes and ten seconds in a century, he ordered that every centurial year that could not be divided by 400 should not be bissextile, as it otherwise would be. The Gregorian calendar was decreed by Popo Gregory in 1582 on this basis, and was readily adopted by Catholic, though not by Protestant, countries. It did not obtain in Great Britain until 17."iS, by which time tho difference between the Julian and Gregorian periods amounted to eleven days. An act of parliament was passed, dictating that tho 3d of September that year should be reckoned the 14th, and that three out of every four of the centurial years should, as Pope Gregory's arrangement, not bo bissextile or leap years. Th'e Gregorian calendar is in use in all civilized countries except Russia. jfc'V

The Language of .Stamps.

It is understood that when a stamp is inverted on tho right hand upper corner it means that the person written to is to write no more. If the stam^is placed on the left hand upper corner* and inverted, then the writer declares hys affection for the receiver of tho letter. When the stamp is in the center at tho top, it signifies an affirmative answer to a question, or tho question, as the case may be and when it is at the bottom, or opposite this, it is a negative. Should the stamp be on the right hand corner, at a right angle, it asks tho question if 110 receiver of the letter loves the sender wb io in the left hand corncr it means tht the writer hates the other. The st~mp at tho upper corner of the right expresses a desire for acquaintance, and when placed on the lower left hand corner means a desire for friendship. It is said that those who aro expert in this mode of indication, when a correspondent requests the person to whom he writes to accept his love, the stamp is placed on a line with the surname, and if tho responso is favorablo tho stamp is placed at tho same Spot, but reversed. Farewell to a sweetheart is expressed by placing the stamp straight up and down in tho left hand corner, and tho continuance of the endearing relation is expressed in the same way. There aro also erudite explanations as to tho meaning of stamps resting on one corner and various degrees of angles on various places on tho envolopo but what has been furnished will probably suffice for a foundation.

Indorsement of Bank Cheeks. A chock drawn upon a bank payable to bearer is in a different iosition from a chock drawn to order, although the latter may bo indorsed by the porson to whom it is payahle before it i3 presented, or by tho maker himself. Banks are justified in taking all proper mean3 to avoid impositions upon themselves or customers. A check drawn to order and subsequently indorsed, is not, in our opinion, in tho same position as a check drawn to bearer. Tho latter is, by the act of the drawer, made payable to anybody, and tho bank is thereby notified, in effect that caution need not be made in ascertaining the right of the person who claims tho payment. But a check drawn to order, oven although it may bo the order of tho maker und indorsed by him blank, can only legally bo tho property of tho person entitled under the indorsement. Tho fact of tho indorsement may be taken to be a notification to tho bank to be careful in ascertaining the right of tho person who claims tho i^noney. Under such circumstances, it seems to us that *tho officers of the bank would bo justified in requiring some proof or satisfaction as to tho right of the person presenting the check to claim the amount.

The Knrllest American Artist. Tho first artist known to fame in the United States was John Watson. This we learn from William Dunlap's "History of the Arts of Design," whero it is stated that Watson is tho first i«iintcr of whom mention is made in the annals of American art. John Watson came from Scotland to Perth Amboy in 1715, and died there in 1768, at the ago of years. Ho brought over a largo number of paintings, and with thoso and many that ho executed hiinrelf. ho formed tho first art gallery in this country. As he advanced in years he became extremely penurious and was totally blind for somo time before his death. He owned two bouses at Perth Amboy, one of which ho used exclusively for his paintings, occupying tho other as his residence. It is statin! as somewhat of a coincidence that this house, which stood on the site of the present seminar}*, was subsequently occupied by another artist, William Dunlap, with whom originated the idea of tho National Academy of Design.

Gilderoy's Kite.

Tho phrase "As High as Gilderoy's Kite" is supposed to have the following origin: Gilderoy, whom Bishop Percy calls "the Robin Hood of Scotland," was a noted freebooter who inibsted the highlands of Perthshire with his gang, and upon seven of his men being captured by the Stewarts of Athol, who executed them in Fobruary, 16o8, Gildoroy burned several houses belonging to them out of revenge. A reward of £1,000 was then offered for his apprehension, and ho was closely pursued, and eventually, with five of his companions, suffered for his crimes at GaUolee, near Edinburgh, in July, 163S. There is no reference concerning any kite, and we presume that the phrase originated from the fact that Gilderoy was suspended at an unusual height, for, as the ballad says, he was "hung high above the rest."

Can't Open Each Other's Letter*. According to tho United States Postal Laws and the United States Revised Statutes, neither a husband nor a wife has any right to open the other's letters, and the ono that does it may be prosecuted under section 3S93 of the revised statutes for so doing.

A JOLLY RIDE TO THE TUNE OF A MERRY NURSERY JINGLE.

A Story Showing that Mysterious Sights and Sounds May be Explained by Common Sense—How a Wise Dog Rescued

Its Companion from Drowning.

One day two skye terriers were walking with their owner by the side of a river, and while indulging in their usual frolics, the younger dog fell into the river.

WISE DOG RESCUES ITS COMPANION. Tony gave a piteous whine and ran to the foot of the embankment. There he found Polly trying with her forefeet to scramble up a low wall which protected tho banks at tho water's edge. Tony seized his companion's ear, but finding that he was losing hia footing and likely to bo pulled into the water, let his hold go, and poor Polly in consequence, was forced to undergo second ducking. Tony had by no means deserted the unfortunate Polly he planted his feet more securely, and with his breast resting on the bank, waited until Polly rose to the surface, when ho seized her again by the ,ear, and with a strong determined pull brought her out on to dry land. It need hardly be told that the master of tho dogs gavo them both an unusually good supper. It ought also bo added for the credit of little Polly tbat she insisted on taking the smaller portion of the ration.

Cunning Crows. vv?' £. I

The shrewdness of crows is proverbial, as indeed is that of the entire family to which they belong, including as it does ravens and rooks, magpies and jays.

The following amusing anecdote was recently told in Youth's Companion: A gentleman saw a dog holding a piece of meat in his mouth, in the presence of three crows. Theso birds all vainly tried to tear it from Viim by force. This they could not do, so had recourse to strategy. After a consultation in crow language they separated, two going as near as they dared to the meat, while the third gave tho dog's tail a bite sharp enough to make him turn around with a squeak, on which the other villains seized the meat, and the three loasted triumphantly upon it on top of a wall. fcfc the top

A Mysterious Knock.

Somo y«ars ago a gentleman moved into a Hew house with his family. Shortly after he was aroused in the middle of the night by a distinct knocking at bis bedroom door. He called out, "Who is theref but there was no reply. After a few minutes the knocking was repeated as distinctly as before. Again the question was asked, "Who is there!" and again no reply. The third knocking was very loud, and tho irritated gentleman sprang out of bed and rushed to tho door, determined to catch tho knocker. But there was no one outside I did seem rather mysterious, and the bewildered man returned to bed with a beating heart and ears painfully awake. Again came the knocking, clear and distinct as before! Although feeling rather uneasy, the gentleman crept silently to the door, and lay down, with his head on the boards, a few feet from the door, to find out if possible from what part of the door the knocking proceeded. When it came again be could distinctly refer it to the lowest paneL Suddenly he opened the door, but again with no result He discovered, however, the knuckle bone of leg of lamb, and fixing Ms eyes on this, ho saw, that it was jerked repeatedly against the skirting of the boards.

The mystery was now revealed. A mouse had dragged this bone to the entrance of its hole, but could not pull it through. It was holding on by the tough bit of sinew attached to the end of tho bone, and was jerking it back and forward, tints producing the knocking sound which had seemed so mysterious.

Tfis story shows that many sights and souilis which seem mysterious may be explained by a little perseverance and common

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

A Peculiar Form of Intoxication—Evil Effects of Carbonated Waters. Essence of ginger is popularly regarded as an innocent and harmless preparation—a sort of "old woman's remedy" or family modicine—to be dealt out for the small boy's pain under his jacket or to sustain the grandmother under a "faint spelL" The follojving statements are therefore surprising: A druggist is said to affirm that there exists a peculiar kind of dissipation, known as ginger drinking,'of the extent of which few people are aware. The article used is the essence of ginger, or the alcoholic extract ordinarily sold by druggists!

Having once acquired a liking for it, the victim becomes as much a slave to his appetite as the opium eater or tho votary of cocaine. In its effect it is much the most injurious of all such practices, for in the course Of time it destroys the coating of tho stomach and dooms its victim to a slow and agonizing death. The druggist says that as ginger essence contains about 100 per cent, alcohol, and whisky less than 50 per ccnt., the former is there ora twice as intoxicating. In fact, this is tho reason why it is used by hardened old topers whose stomachs are no longer capable of intoxicating stimulation from whisky. They need the more powerful agency of the pure alcohol in the ginger extract.

The authority mentioned relates the inItance of a woman who contracted the habit through employing the ginger on several occasions for stomachic pains. The relief it afforded her Was so grateful that she took to it upon any recurrence of her trouble. She found, too, that the slight exhilaration of the alcohol banished mental depression. In this way she got to using it regularly, and finally to such an excess that she was often grossly intoxicated.

Another case was that of a man who bought a four ounce bottle every morning and drank its contents by noon. He craved the stuff so ardently that he was unable to go about his business until he had set the machinery of his stomach in operation and started the circulation of the blood witih this fiery draught.

Large doses are described as producing a quiet stupor and additional one3 a profound lethargic slumber which lasts in some cases twenty-four hours.

Carefril Nursing.

When a sick person is obliged to lie constantly in one position, as is the case with a broken leg, bed sores must be guarded against. The lower part of the back is most frequently attacked, says Good Housekeeping, and the nurse should pass her hand under it at least twice a day to see that the draw sheet is free from wrinkles and creases. Morning and night she must bathe it with a small sponge dipped in alcohol or a solution of tannic acid, and when it is dry rub it with corn starch or buckwheat flour. It may seem impossible to her to get her hand underneath, but most beds will yield a little to pressure, and by working in a roll of old linen under tho back above the place to be bathed, sho will obtain a little space to work in. If in spite of precautions the back becomes sore, an air cushion with a hole in the middle must be used to prevent the sore from coniing in cpntact with any surfaoe, or it cannot heaL

80CIAL ETIQUETTE.

Manners and Customs Practiced In Polite Society. An authority on etiquette, objecting strongly to the terms "lady friend" and "gentleman friend," gives through The World the following reasons for so doing:

The terms lady and gentleman have been and are so misused as to have grown almost meaningless, and their constant application to all conditions of life almost vulgar. Hence the term lady friend does not convey any impression, as a rule, beyond that the friend is a feminine one. If intended to qualify, it can only bear the inference that the person speaking of "my lady friend" has others he or she does not consider ladies. Every respectable woman or girl is presumed to be a lady, and every reputable man a gentleman, until he or she proves himself or herself to be otherwise. Among refined and cultivated people, whoso use of language is the best test of its correctness, the moment a word or term becomes misused and meaningless it is dropped. Hence the reaction of late years amnng refined people in favor of the old Saxon terms, man and woman. Lady and gentleman in other days carried an idea of persons of good breeding and position. The desire of many people to have these terms applied to them is due tt» the impression that their assumption of them, or resentment when they are not applied, will give to them qualifies and position they do not possess. Disreputable pawns of either sex are often vehement in their claims to be called "lady" or "gentleman."

Avoid a Fussy Manner.

It is in the worst possible taste, according to Harper's Bazar, for a lady to concern herself about a gentleman's hat, the seat he has chosen, the length of a call, or anything about Mm She simply smiles, bows, gives him her hand when be comes in to make a call, and puts him at his ease by her tactful conversation, as he makes an effort to be agreeable to ber. She does not urge him to come again or to prolong his call her manner must do all that.

Young men are especially annoyed at any exhibition of fussiness on the part of their «o£ertaiser&. "I wish Mrs. Brown would let me sit os an uncomfortable chair if I wish to," is the remark of more than one young man wh«n he conies out of sanejfussy presenca Young can take care of themselves in a parlor, «nd it is not an uncommon fault of Ansericsn women that they are too anxioos totakeoureof men.

Tho Lives of Longshoremen. But, however much of adventurous interest there may be among these more weird forms and expressions of New York harbor life, tho truer in ei-est centers in the thousands of toilers whoso lives nre passed oii Uia docks and in tho holds of vessels where the countless products of labor and art leavo us for the old world, or are first set down for tho new. Theso are tho longshoremen and there are 18,COO to 20,COO of them uccessary to handle the outgoing and incoming freight of tho harbor. That is a large number of men. Dependent upon these alone are nearly enough human beings to populate a large city. Their yearly earnings ore from $10,000,000 to $12,000,000. They are rough, hard and uncouth, but are marked by such a geniality of nature that tlio key to it is difficult to discover when tho severity of their labor is considered. Their vocation is not a trade bet you will seldom find any class of men requiring any morn actual animal strength, constant dexterity and downright skill.

As a rule they are uncducated men, tho Irish race largely predominating, but if vcu will for ono day watch tho loading or unloading of any great steamer, tho marvelous endurance, alertness and brightness you will discover them possessed of will give you a better judgment of the importance they hold to the intricate and large affairs of any great seaboard city, while you will be filled with a genuine respect for the sturdy accomplishment in their unregarded calling. Nor would it be an unpoetic experience. For every flag of overy nation is above these vessels as they are taking and giving. Every race may be studied in swarthy seamen. Every object that the'mind can recall or understand is taking its place for the hither or farther destination. And the fancy easily courses all 6eas and lands with the going and coming, the gainings that are involved, and tho pleasures of the human lives that are risked in these mighty outreachings of the purposes of men.—New York Cor. Globe-Democrat.

How to Fight Indiana.

This thing of sending out a body of troops to light Indians is all bosh. They can see company of soldiers miles awny, then seartei and hide and shoot when they can't lie seen. Young Cant. Evaus. of Fort Phil Kearney, knew how to fight the redskins. 1 remember when Fort Scott was besieged. That was when Fort Scott was the outward frontier post, 175 miles southwest of Kearney. Capt. Evans volunteered to go to the relief, on Condition that be should bo allowed absolute management of the expedition. Report had it. that Fort Scott was then surrounded by at least 2,000 Indians. The captain rigged out half dozen six mule government wagons, with canvas covers arranged with ropes overhead, so that the curtains could be rolled up in an instant. Then he loaded bis men into tho wagons, rolled down the curtains and started, with a rider on each mule. Theso were the only men in sight in the train, and tho captain gave orders for no ono under cover to show himself until he sounded tho bugle as a signal for the curtains to be rolled up, when the soldiers were to fire upon the enemy. When the train got in sight of Fort Scott the Indians came on them with a war whoop, flourishing their bows and tomahawks. They were going to capture the train. Capt. Evans let them come until they got within sure killing distance and then his bugle nounded,.and the next instant a volley of lead was poured into tho redskins. They never waited for a second shot, but turned and fled as fast as their ponies could carry them, and that was tho end of their siege of Fort Scott —Brockway Kinney in Globe-Democrat.'

For simple burns oil or the white of an egg can be used.

Adulterating Beer.

London saloon keepers Have adopted a most ingenious contrivance for adulterating beer at a minimum risk of detection. An apparatus is used which connects tho pump with a barrel of sugar and water, as woll as the beer barrel, thus enabling the bartender to dilute the beer at will, while at the same time the original cask remains untouched, and adulteration inspectors can always be furnished with a sample of pure beer or ala, —Chicago Times.
