The Result Of Education.

In the elegant drawing-room of q
Cincinnati pork merchants mansion a
large comIa any was assembled. All the
luxury that wealth could command
contributed to the qualification of the
guests. Upon blue satin divan the
pork merchants daughter, gorgeous in
silks and paris and diamonds, was
conversing with friend. Presently
her father approached and said:
pauline, want to say a word to
you"
The girl arose and accompanied her
parent TO the seclusion of a bay win
dow.
Pauline began the old man,
''there's couple of Cleveland dudes in
the dining room havinga OF talk about
Copernicus. l was afraid they were
going to ask me to decide the dispute,
so made some excuse to get out and
come to you. Now tell me, who was
Copernicus, anyhow

could you be SO ignorantp Why, any
schoolboy knows who Copernicus was.
He sailed from Paios, Spain, on the Sd
Of August, 1892, and discovered Amer

exultingly at his daughter moment
and then said, with suggestion Of
sadness in his tone:
Pauline. my child, if 1 had your.
brains / might have been a United
States Senator from Ohio. Brooklyn

A Morning Scene.

About eight o'clock yesterday morn
ing man smoking plug tobacco in an
old clay pipe walked out of Michigan
avenue saloon with a rat in trap. He
looked neither to the right nor the left
until he had reached the middle of the
street. Then he placed the trap on the
ground and whistled for his dog. if he
had dog, the animal did not respond,
but the public did In le.e; than two
minutes thirty men were rushing to the
spot.
Hi! there! Don't let him out till
get my dog" shouted one.
"Hold on! Wait for the dogs!'' yelled
half dozen voices at once.
keep cool and form circler' COM
manded a policeman, as he took a frmer
grip of his baton.
The man with the trap spread large
handkerchief over it and waited. He
was not bit excited. On the contrary
he was as placid as a chip sailing i'll the
wash-dish.
"Whar' did We ketch him?" inquired
a newsboy.
The placid man did not deign to
reply.
"What'll We take fur him?'' asked
another, but his inquiry was treated with
the same silent contempt.
Then four or five men came running
up with dogs under their arms, and ten
or fifteen dogs ON foot followed behind.
There was a tight between bulldog
and Newfoundland, and there would
have been a row between owners had
not second policeman appeared.
Order was finally restored The dogs
weSe arranged in circle and held by
their collars, and the placid man slowly
knocked the ashes from his pipe, looked
carefully around, and then raised the
trap and shook the rat out. All. the
dogs made a rush, but in ten seconds
each and every canine walked off on his
ear and seemed to be hurt in his feel
ings. A boy stepped forward and held
the ra: up to view.
''It's crockery rat"' he yelled as
he whirled it around.
Eyes, it vhas a GROCERY radt, und he
cost me den cents!" calmly replied the
placid man as he walked off with his
trap.-Detr0n Free Press.

"A Roman ecclesiastic, in reply to
whatever question might be proposed,
always began by saying: II make dis

him to dine, proposed to derive some
amusement for the company from this
well-known popularity of his guest.
Saying to him that he had an impor-
tant question to propose, he asked: 'Is
it under any circumstances lawful to
baptize in soup?' Il make a distinc-

it lawful to baptize in soup in general?

Abandoned Vessels.

Derelicts always appear to me as a
kind of ocean beggars. They hover
about the path of well-to-do ships, and
exhibiting their mutilated stumps. and
broken sides, cringe and courtesy for
help as the vessels 60 by. They are. it
must be admitted, as rule, miserably
poor-in rags and without ..brass
farden'' in their pockets. The sea
despoils them first; but if Neptune over
looks anything of worth, it is pretty
sure to be carried away by one or other
OF the vessels which may bear down to
have look at the wreck and overhaul
her. sFound good quarter-boat
floating alongside; got it aboard and
proceeded. Or. "Nothing to be
found on deck or below; looked as if
some passing vessel had helped herself
to all that was to be got" Such state
ments are sometimes to be found in
log-books. Here is one that l at this
