A Little Mistake.

A piano tuner called at house on
Euclid avenue and quietly placed his
hat on the hall stand before proceeding
to his work.
The housemaid being busy with her
weekly sweeping had previously re-
moved all small articles from the hall,
and her mistress passing through OBJ
served the solitary article-an object so
lear to every masculine heart. Think
ing it the garden hat of her husband,
she placed it in an adjoining closet.
Presently the man, having finished tun-
ing the piano, started to leave, but, be-
ing unable to find his hat, meekly asked
the maid to assist him in looking for it.
They searched both the hall and parlor,
out all in vain, until the lady, whose at
tention had been drawn by the commo-
Ion, also joined in the search.
At last she said she could lend him
aat, and proceeding to the closet pro-
iuced the one she had placed there
short time before, apOlogizing for its
shabby appearance by saying it was a
very old one, used by her husband when
working mornings in the garden. The
,uner took the hat and after carefully
examining it said it looked very much
like his hat, and that he was quite sure
t was the one he had placed in the hall
Ipon his arrival. 1t suddenly dawned
IN the lady's mind how the mistake was
made, but she still wonders how two
lats could so exactly resemble each 9TH

What Science is Doing for Modern
Thought,


One of the most important influences
now at work is doubtless that of science,
which is of course as old us human curl
osity, and is only new in its results.
That the effect of the great advance in
scientific thought has been to modify
considerably most forms of religious be-
lief can not be denied; and, In spite Ut
the many attempted recOnciliatiOns of
the two. it is not difficult to see that
some of the leading dogmas of Christi
anity are doomed. Fortunately. one of
the rewards of the freedom that is given
to science is lack of venom in its at
tack, and, on the other side, there is an
absence of bitterness in those whose
opinions it unavoidably alters. There
are, of course, exceptions; modern SCI
ence has not expelled arrogance from
the world, and enlightenment has not
wholly driven out bigotry. Yet, in the
calmness with which the controversy is
carried on, we see how widespread is
the belief that dogmas are less essential
than the truth which all men alike are
seeking. As Professor Asa Gray puts
it; mo sensible person now believes
what the most sensible people believed
formerly. Settled scientific belief must
control religious belief" 1t is one of
the time-hOnored jests which the late
Lord BeacOnsfield thrust into his last
novel, that the religion Of sensible peo-
pie is what sensible people never tell.
They may not. but their tolerance of
now truths and the altered positions of
ecclesiasticism declare all that need be
known.
The present interest in science is dis
tinctly part of the revolutionary move
ment which demands, with restless
curiosity, why everything should be rs
it is. This is the question that is put to
every existing institution, and science
often gives serviceable answer. The
answer is leveling one to all cOnven-
tiOnalities, because science concerns it.
self only about facts. and it is heard
now because science can only exist
where thought is free. Freedom of
thought is powerful solvent, and it is
especially destructive to all the con-
ventiOnalities which exist by means of
the common agreement that they shall
not be examined. We see that in poll
tics the divine right of kings is called
in question, and in the uniform tendency
of modern times toward democracy the
assumption of government by those who
are governed. In social matters we
perceive similar movement toward
the emancipation Of the individual.
All knowledge advances from vague
generalities to the comprehension of
particulars, and as human beings have
succeeded in understanding themselves
they have thrown aside the convenient
habit of dividing the rest of the world
into vast homogeneous classes, and have
recognized the dignity and Importance
of each individual Of the raee.-Popular
Science Monthly.

That Reminds Me-"

Several years ago Andy caught q
three-p0under, and John grew cores
pOndingly green with envy, and staked
the cigars that he would beat him be-
fore the season was over. One day
John, Andy and Jake were hard at it
on the beautiful banks of the Swatara,
when John observed big bass jump
from the water some distance from
shore. Several times the fish emerged,
and then John resolved to 90 for the
bass. Taking boat he rowed out and
threw live bait for the bass. He
wouldn't strike, and continued to flop
in singular fashion, and John eau.
tiously rOwed up to him. placed both
hands under him. and threw into the
boat not only seventeen-inch bass, but
also ten-inch catfish.
John was exultant, and at once
claimed that Andy's Insignificant three
FOUNDER was cast into the shade by this
double haul. On examination, howev-
er, it was discovered that the bass in en-
deavOring to swallow the catfish had
been perforated as to his head by the
spines Of the catfish, one of which pro-
truded through his right eye. Andy
and Jake at once claimed foul, hold
ing that John had taken advantage of
the bass by approaching him on the
blind side, and refused to allow the ci-
gars, though the double catch may have
slightly exceeded in weight Andy's bass.
Here's another: Joe Nee. was fish
ing at the above place with live frog
for bait. For more than an hour he
waited in vain for bite. Pulling up to
examine his bait he found his line lead
ing to the shore, when to his extreme
surprise and pleasure (?) he found Mr..
Frog seated calmly on rock by his side
enjoying his Otiam cum dig. Joe de-
clares that the batrachian winked at
him with the most cOnsummate impu-
dence.
While out West heard the following
version of the famous crow and turkey
story. My friend said: 4 was South a
