I To scratch one's name on a window pane is a pastime familiar to most young folks and one in which it seems that tho dignitaries of the earth can find amusement too. On ono of tho windows of a railway carriage devoted to tho exclusive tire of tho king of Denmark and his guests is perhaps ns curious a collection of these autographs an can anywhere bo found. Every one of royal blood who travels in this car is expected to scratch his name with a diamond, and in consequence the glass la scored with tho sign manuals, most of thorn nearly undecipherable, of the majority of tho princes and princesses of Europe as well as many crowned heads. | Ceremony is entirely laid aside in this : stately fooling, and tho groat ones are bound to sign their pet ov family nick- ; name. Consequently hero may ho seen the signatures; “Kicky,” the present emperor of Russia; “Sacha,” tho late emperor; “Winny,” princess of Germany; “IDrtic—- !

Tha sugar should tao dropped into tho coffee without stirring. In a moment tho air contained in tho sugar will rise to tho surface in tho shape of bubbles, and these bubbles nro excellent weather indications. If they collect in tho middle of the cup, a fair day follows; if, adversely, they adhere to tho sides, forming a ring of bubbles with a clear space in the center, take your umbrella, for rain is at hand, while if they do neither one thing nor tho other, but scatter irregularly, variable weather is indicated. Just what is tho scientific explanation of the action of the atmosphere on tho bubbles is not stated, but that their indications curiously agree with ] those of a barometer lias been tested.
