Tho Duke of Brldgewator quickly found n romedy for this diffi- culty.

Perhaps this is owing: to Its representing a. sound which exists In every spoken speech and has the samo pronunciation in them all.

Many Watches make flvo beats per second, 800 each minute, 18,000 every hour or 432,000\ per day. Thus It will be seen that half a dozen turns of tho key once a day, taking up but a few seconds of time, store up a modicum of power in the spring which is cut tip Into nearly 1,000,000 Beats.

Lawyer B. was a gruff sort of personage and believed in making every one pay for every service! One of his clients was the president of a bank, who, during the pendency of his case, dropped Into the lawyer's office very frequently and told Ptories. The lawyer Was 0 good listener, and seemed to enjoy the stories very much, but after the bank- er went out Lawyer B. would say; \Here charge Mr. $10 for an horn of my time. If I have got to listen t< his stories he has got to pay me for it\ Finally, the bill Was mnde out and carried to the banker. It was nn Item- ized account stating the date of each call.

But It was not alone as food that salt Was valued, Ajnong the ancients a salt spring was regarded as a gift of tho gods, and-|t was believed that any salt found in the soli lent It a peculiar sanc- tity and made it a place where prayers wero most readily hoard. Every meal that included salt had a.certain sacred character, creating a bond of piety and friendship between host and guest; hence the expression, \There is salt between us,\ meaning friendship, apd to be \untrue to salt\ means, to be dis- loyal or ungrateful. In the middle ages, when all classes and degrees sat at the same board, they were placed according to rank, above or below the great Baltcellar, which always stood In the middle and marked the dividing sopial linp.'i\Above the salt\ meant \of high degree.\ Be- low the salt were the yeomanry, serfs and vassals of the feudal days. A good description of this custom may be found In \Ivanhoe\ where Cedric, the Saxon, entertains his vassals and friends, A pinch of salt is always considered lucky in cooking. To take anything \with n pinch of salt 1 ' means to excuse or moko allowances for It. A \salt\ Is a sailor. To salt one's conversation means to make It sparkle. Salt is al- ways employed in a sense of benefit or strength. Tho Bible has many references to salt, among them bolng \Ye are the salt of the earth,\ Mntthew v, IS, and St Paul says, \Let your speech be al- ways with grace seasoned with salt.\ Salt is used by Catholics in baptism. They consider It a symbol of wisdom and put a few grains In tho mouth «f the porson baptized. SPEECHES THAT LIVE\. Oratorio Triampha That Stnud tho Tn l of Ileitdlnsr. It Is often said that if a speech reads well It Is not a good speech. There may be some truth ^in It. Tho reader cannot, of course, get the Impression which tho speaker conveys by look and tone and gesture. Ho lackuj that mar- velous Influence by which In n great assembly tho emotion of every Individ- ual soul Is multiplied by the emotion of svory other. The reader can pause nnd dwell upon, the thought If there be a fallacy, be Is not hurried away to do something else before ho can detect it 80, also, his more careful and deliber- ate criticism will' discover offenses of style and taste which pass unheeded in a speech when uttered. But still the great oratorlc triumphs of literature and history stand the test of reading hi the closet as well as of hearing In the assembly. Would not Mark Antony's speech over tho dead body of Cmsar, had it been uttered, have moved the Soman populace as it moves tho spec- tator when tho play Is nctcd ; or the sol- itary reader in his closet?

The Norwegrlan Costume It is at church In Norway that the national costume Is best seen In the north the women' wear short, dark gowns, with .fringed handkerchiefs tied becomingly over their curly fair hair, black ones for the matrons and white ones for maidens.. In the south the old Norwegian dress Is often worn. It consists of a- short dark petticoat with a stripe of bright colors, a full white blouse, and a red bodice heavily embroidered, while on Sundays a quantity of silver pins and chains are added. The headdress varies according''to the occasion and the wearer's social condition. The girls wear jaunty red caps, the married women a coif madu of many folds of starched white linen, plaited over a wooden frame, and a bride wears a high metal crown, curi- ously chased and set with Jewels. American robins build plaster and dry grass nests In the orotches_of trees, while tho little English bird of the same name, only about half as big tin Its cousin in America, pukes a soft moss nest on the ground. Its breast is a yellow, red or'scarlet, much brighter than the American bird, and It sings oven more sweetly, but It is of small -value lis an Insect destroyer. The American robin, on tho other band, has a much duller, quieter coat n more mended vocabulary, sounding many distinct notes of warning, fear, Joy; etc., but not In so sweet a song, and is, an Inveterate worm nnd Insect hunter. With only occasional lapses Into vege- tarianism, at strawberry and cherry ripe time, the American robin is really one of the most Industrious'allies the farmer can have. POULTRY POINTERS. A healthy fowl will drink fifteen or twenty times a day. Sharp gravel should always be sup- plied to fowls that are fattened in close confinement Box nests are all right If made large enough, the^size depending upon the breed of fowls. Unseed meal Is excellent ns nn egg producing meal but It should be fed In connection with coarse or balky foods. Soft eggs laid before the shell has formed are caused by overfeeding. Give less food and more pounded shells or llmewater. A varied diet for poultry Is a neces- sary help to their general health and has much to do with their value as breeders. If disease appears and resists reme- dies, it Is better to begin with new stock than to breed from those that have been sick a long time. A light, sandy soil <s always best for a poultry yard. A heavy clay soil Is al- ways damp and, unless care is taken, will cause roup, while a sandy soil, be- ing dry, will promote warmth. The Limit.

Science has demonstrated most con- tluslvely tbnt mental and.nerve power Is dependent upon food contalnlBg phosphorus. It Is but natural that the same laws which apply to tho muscular system should apply likewise to the brain. For Instance,, wheat Contains phosptiorusS, which It gets from the soil nnd In the absence of which It could not live. Wheat Is supposed to supply to the human system the elements it gets, from the soil. Since the action of the' mind Is dependent on phosphorus, wheat Qsh, cheese, oatmeal and barley can be regarded as brato feeds. It Is a well, known fact thot thfe brain contains phosphorus in proportion to Its power of producing mental effort and that this element must be supplied- In proportion to mental activity.

There Is a story In the French army of a captain who made a wager one day that a drummer of his company could eat a whole calf.
