In Science 10 a Friend Of One o
His Admirers.
The eminent English scientist, Professor
Huxley, made but q short stay in New

conversation between one of the city
amateur scientists and a matter-of-fsc
friend. The amateur was an enthusiast,
admirer Of Huxley, and be spoke 30 ex
travagantly about him that his friend
finally became curious and asked:

"Can he take it and make anything al

Dudes Compelled to Dance.

A story has just come to light in
Canton, Ga, which affords much
amusement to natives at the expense Of
three Boston dudes, whose connection
with the opening of Georgia marble
quarry had taken them there. Their
names are John Shellman. Edward
Anthem, and Henry Rondeau. They
have had much amusement with noun
tain boosters. and delighted in showing
off their superior accomplishments
While on the way to Tates Wednesday
they met two Misunderstanding coun-
try boys who, bare-footed and with but
one suspender over their shoulders, were
trudging to town. The Bostonians
stepped in front of them and ordered
them to dance to a Massachusetts,
iuba.
When the mountaineers became salts
fed that the Bostonians were in earnest
they pulled out two ugly-looking revolt
vers and changed the programme by
ordering the dudes to dance. Thinking
to humor the joke and thus escape
easily they danced awhile, but the boys
would not let them halt. For FIVE hours,
under cover of rerolvers, the Boston
ians danced such jig as has never be-
fore been seen. When the time was up
one of the mountaineers exclaimed:
Now, dang it. runn' The Bostonians
were only too glad to do so, and reach
ed town footsore and weary. They
are now seeking legal redress.-Neio

The bookstore Keener.

A bookstore ought, in a sense. to be
public library. 1t ought to be a sort
of intellectual headquarters and start
ing point 1t should bestow its bene-
fits upon the community in which it
stands, and that community should re-
gard it as something worthy of pride
as well as of support. Its proprietor
is, of course a business man, who wants
to make money. But the higher his
idea of his functions, the more money
he ought to make. More intelligence is
needed in the reading of books than in
cobbling shoes or weighing sugar. He
should be the right-hand man to tla
minister, the editor, the school-teacher,
the lawyer, the physician. He should
take counsel of the educated and we'll
to-do classes in the community; and
should put on his shelves the books
they want, and should welcome them
to his place OF business. He is himself
a teacher and preacher, whose moral
and intellectual influence makes his
business an ethical as well as COM
mercial one. He has ''high calling
and ought to take a becoming pride
in it. II he sells papeg-hangings. sta
tionery, bronzes and knick-knacks he
should remember that these, however
remunerative, are but side-shows. If
he covers his windows with flash, IL
Illustrated journals or staring litho-
graphs he shows that he has no conf
dcnce in the intellectual part of the
town and no power to make himself
attractive to it. Is it all mere mat
ter of profit? By no means; but if it
were more money as well as more rep
utation is to be got by working
for the best and wisest and well-to-do
classes than for the Saturday night pur-
chasers of the story papers.
