OF the Circuit Judges from $1,000 to $4,000 per
year, cha Grand Rapids Post discourses as

Concerning this eminent parsonage there is
bit Of personal history known only to a few
of the older members Of the editorial craft.
When some years younger than he now is he
became possessed with the idea that he was cut
out and made up for a newspaper paragraphist
and reporter. His first experience was as q
sub" for the 'local" for two days. He started
out on his mission, and after q stroll of a
couple OF hours had entered on his notebook
two dog fights, a dead cart-mule and runa-
way. lie placidly took his seat at the desk to
write up his items. At the end OF an hour ne
had disposed of one dog fight and had made
some progress on the runaway, when copy was
called for. He sent In what he had and grasped
his pencil to ''do up the remaining dog tight
and pay fitting tribute" to the dead mule,
but il was mo 60" He had exhausted his
whole stock OF superior ability" and so
" stuck, and "cogitated" for another hour.
call for copy brought him to realizing
sense that something must be did," His PEN
Gil firmly grasped in his right hand, he bella
bored his forehead with the knuckles Of the left,
and thus another hour passed in fruitless en-
deavor to "start an idea" from his already de-
pleted brain. The foreman now appeared and
demanded copy" saying that they couldn't
wait" The young man cast sort OF woe-be-
gone look. The foreman "took IN" the eitua-
ton, and, being compassionate man, said,

has continued to do that same unto the present
tims,-clipping all the good things found in
the exchanges without ever giving 'credit" to
the sources from whence they came.

sight Of Ants.

The organs of the vision are in most
ants very complex and Conspicuous. They
are generally three eyes arranged in .
triangle on tine top Of their heads, and on
each side large compound eye contain
ing sometimes more than 2,OOO facets be-
tween them. Nevertheless the sight Of
ants does not appear to be very good. In
order to test how far ants are guided BY
vision made the following experiment
l placed common lead pencil ON q board,
fastening it upright, so as to serve rs c
landmark. At the base then placed q
glass containing food, and then put a
l.. niger to the food; when she knew her
way from the glass to the nest and back
again perfectly we'll, she went quite
straight backward and forward. then
took AZ opportunity when the ant was on
the glass, and moved the glass with the
ant on itabout three inches. Now, under
the circumstances, if she had been much
guided by sight, she could not of course
have had any difficulty in finding her
way to the nest. As matter of fact,
however, she was entirely at sea, and af-
ter wandering about for some time, got
back to the nest by another and very
roundabout route. then again varied
the experiment as follows: l placed the
food in small china cup on the top of
the pencil, which thus formed column
seven and half inches high. When the
ant once knew her way she went very
straight to and from the nest This puz.
zled her very much; she went over and
over the spot where the pencil had pre-
viously stood, retraced her steps several
times almost to the nest, and then re-
turned along the old line, showing great
perseverance, If not much power Of WIS.,
ion. l then moved the pencil six inches.
She found the pencil at last, but only af-
ter many meanderings. then repeated
the observation on three other ants,
with the sane result; the second
was seven minutes before she found
the pencil, and at last seemed to do
50 accidentally; the third actually wan
dered about for no less than half an hour,
returning up the paper bridge several
times.-Sir John Lubbock.

AN OLD TINE HoTRL.-Mr. Henry
Ward Beecher has been giving in Gin
cinnati "reminiscences of bis early life in
Ohio. One of his stories is this: 1.-THE
other day I came through Loudonville,
Ohio, and / was forcibly reminded of
my stay there when on my first trip out
West. We stopped late at night, and
spent Sunday there. There were two
coach-l0ads Of Us, and the little two,
story brick tavern was nearly full when
We arrived. The best they could do for
my brother Charles and myself was to
give % couple Of 'shake-downs' in the
dining-room. We slept late Sunday
morning, but finally waking up COM
menced to talk. said: Charles, I'll
bet you ] can tell what they had for din
ne: yesterday what was it, he asked.
Roast beef l replied, basing my judg-
ment on stale sort Of odor that per-
vaded the room. No, you're mistaken.
said he, shaking his head and emitting at
the covering Of his bed; it was NUT
ton.' We both stoutly maintained our
respective proportions, and falling to .
vigorous smelling of our be- clothes,
found the landlord had given ~ . couple
Of table-cloths for bedspresds, and
Charles had got the mutton cloth and I
the beef"
