Getting nt nc Isxact Truth.

As matter OF fact, nobody ever
makes larger allowances for other peo-
pie, in the estimate OF their yeracity,
than the scientific inquirer. Knowing
himself, 10y painful experience, how eX-
tremely difficult q matter it is to make
perfectly sure you have observed any
thing on earth quite correctly, and have
eliminated all possible chances OF error,
he acquires the fixed habit Of doubling
about one-half OF what his fellow crea-
lures tell him in ordinary conversation,
wit out for single moment yentur!ng
to suspect them OF deliberate untruth-
fitness. Children and servants, if they
find ANYTHING they have Teen told is
erroneous Immediately jump ut the
conclusion that the person who told
them meant deliberately to deceive
them. In their own simple and cate
gorical fashion they answer piumply:
That's lie But the man OF science
is only too well acquainted in his own

Had TO Take the Consequences.

The Harvard Herald has the authori-
ty of a member OF the faculty for the
following anecdote of Professor Sophie
Giles: In certain class, some twenty
years ago, there were two students OF
the same name, one a youth OF leisure,
and the other q man Of study. Iney

under Professor Sophoclcs, who was,
as is known, a better scholar than in-
structor. The mark lists at that time
were made out monthly, and Jones,
the student, was surprised one morn
inc 10 find that his marks were low,
and the other mans were high. The
Professor had evidently miZcd ZIP the
names, and Jones demonstrated. An
adjustment was promised; yet next
month came the same mistake. FOR
the third month the marks were cor

the same error When another remon-

Gen. SCOTS Autograph.

A lady passing the season here was
very anxious 10 get Gen. Scott's auto
graph. He was very busy and she found
her task very difficult. One day the
happy thought struck her that her
pretty little 10-year-old daughter might
be able in this ease 10 do what she her
self could not. So she sent the charm-
ing Little GIRL TO the generals office
with The an orraph album. The order
Ii told her she could not see tho busy
general. She would not be denied. Sac
would wait, she said. Al the end Of
half an hour the orderly took her re-
quest to the adjutant. The latter adj
mtted her, but told her she could not
possibly see the general. She said she
must. At last the adiutant showed her
the door leading TO Gen. SCOTS Office,
and told her she could 90 in If She
dared. Taking him at his word, she
marched right in This is her dcscrip-

girl, what do you want?' And told

then he asked me who my ma was,
