An interesting point is disposed of by the Toronto Star in regard. to Whether a fine can be imposed on a man who keeps his establishment go- ing on public holidays.sueh as Dominion Day or Labor Day. A day set apart as a public holiday counts as a holiday in all legal pmceedingsuâ€"the courts do not sit. the banks do not open, the public ofliees are. closed. a promissory note is deferred twenty-four hours. But a man is free. to work it' he wants to. whether he hoes in his garden or Works at his bench. A public holiday is a dav pr m ided for the conv eniem e of the people. but the obsenance of it is not compulson -- a man is not threatened with fine or imprisonment if he fails to idle or enjoy himself. Employers think it good policy to I: lose their works on public holidays. A dissatisfied stafl of employees can greatly weaken the pmductiveness of a factory. But it is not compulsory that a manufacturer should shutdown his works on Dominion Day, or Labor Day, or that he should pay his men 0 xtra money if they work or their re- gular pay if they do not work. The ”railing custom in these matters is dictated by consideration of policy, a: by provisions of law. In fact, :reeable are produced without the invention a! law, a truth that quite Durham, August n, 1904.

I The first windmill in Germany was ,built at Windsheim. The Augustine imonks at that place desired to build one such as they had seen in Italy, but I the lord of the manor forbade them, de- ! claring that the winds belonged to him. i'l‘he monks applied to the bishOp of |Utrecht, who promptly laid down the ; fundamental principle that no one had any power over the winds of his dio- geese but himself. He gave permission 3 to build the mill and it was erected in . the closing years of the fourteenth cen- Btyrla, in Austria, gives the world vast quantities of arsenic. The manu- facture of this drug is indeed the main Btyrian industry. They who make arsenic eat it. as a rule, for they say that only the arsenic 'eater can with- stand the arsenic fumes. These makers and esters of the drug are comely. They have a blooming and clear color. They look much younger than they are. “The foreman in a certain arsenic factory told me that in his boyhood, When he first went to that plant, he was advised to begin to eat arsenic lest his health suffer from the fumes," says a toxicologist. “He did begin, and his first two or three small doses gave him a sharp paindike a burn, in the stom- ach, and this pain was followed by tremendous hunger and a violent, dis~ agreeable excitement. But as his doses increased in‘ frequency and size their effect became pleasant. There was no longer pain or excitement. On the con- trary, there was a ravenous appetite, as well as a mood of joyous activity wherein he could do three men’s work. “This chap, by the time he got to be thirty, was taking four grains of arsenic a day. He looked at thirty, with his clear pink and white color, no more than twenty-three. He was as robust as a blacksmith. But he said he would die at forty-five or so, that being the age at which all the Styrian arsenic eaters die." The drug is a preservative, and in Styria when graves are opened bodies are found to be as fresh six or seven years after interment as on the day they were lowered into the earth. Then suddenly everything was stilled, and the diamond, split in halves, lay in the iapidary’s white, thin hand; now One Diamond lake: Two incl an Ii. an the Original. The lapidary was splitting a dia- mond. He leaned forward with intent brown. Hie tiny machine buzzed like a bee. A delicate and shining dust “Out of one diamond," he said, “I am going to make two. and each of these two will be as big and brilliant as the original one way." “First I will make in paste an exact duplicate of each of these two halves. Then I will Join to the bottom of each genuine half its artificial complement, making the junction so carefully that no one will be able to perceive it. Fi- nally I will mount these two half false and half genuine stones. Each then will appear to be altogether genuine. Their paste foundations will not de- tract in any way from their brilliance. The owner of the big diamond will have two big diamonds. A‘s he scraped up tho [littering dust he explained: “The making of fake jewels,” the lap- idary said, “is an interesting study. Do you know what the best take pearls are made of? They are made of fish scales-silvery and iridescent fish scales pasted on the inside of balls of glass. The fish these scales come from is called in France the ablette and in England the bleak. It is smaller than a minnow. Its scales must be picked OR by hand, and only a small portion of them can be used. It takes 18,000 ablettes, or bleaks, to yield a pound of scales.” Separating Them. “In the old days, when the capital of Alabama was located at Tuscaloosa, there was a good deal of open gam- bling at that seat or legislation,” said a southern man. “It was the custom in those times for men of all grades of society to risk their money at games of chance, and the lawmakers who gathered at "l‘uscaloosa were among the best patrons of the gaming tables. “The proprietor of one of those re- sorts. wishing to keep the state solons separated from the ordinary customers of his place, put up a big sign in the apartment devoted to taro, poker, roulette and the like, which read: Time and Honey.
