THE SCHOOL OF PATIENCE.

My dear boy, If man can only cul-
tivate patience and strength, it seems to
me he will be good neighbor, pleasant
man to do business with, safe man to
trust and the kind of man the world
loves, even though he lack wisdom, and
hath no genius, and can't tell good
story or sing note. How much does
the fretful, restless, hurring old world
owe 10 the patient man, who finds his
strength sin quietness and confidence"
who can be patient with our faults, our
fsncjes, our wickedness, who can be quiet
when the softest word would have
sting; who can wait for storms to blow
over and for wrongs to right themselves;
who can patiently and silently endure a
slight until he has forgotten it, and who
can even be patient with himself. That's
the fellow, my boy, who tries my pa
tience and strength more than any man
else with whom have to deal. L could
get along with the rest of the world well
enough If he were only out of it. l can
meet all my other cares and enemies
bravely and cheerfully enough. But
when myself comes to me with his heart
aches aud blunders and stumbling, and
with his own follies and troubles aud
sins, somehow he takes all the tuck out
of mo. My strength is weakness and my
patience is folly, when 1 come to deal
with him. He makes the same stupid
blunders in the same stupid way so
many times. Sometimes when | think 1
must put up with him and his ways all
my life | want to give up. And then the
next time he comes to me with his cares
and the same old troubles be seems so
helpless and pentient that l feel sorry
for him, and try to be patent with him,
and promise to help him all l can once
more. All, my dear boy, as you grow
older, that is the fellow who will try you
and torment you, and draw on your
sympathy, and tax your patience and
strength. Be patient with him poor old
fellow, because / think he does love you,
and yet as rule you are harder on him
than any one else.

WHEN the recent terr;bla exnIos;op

WHEN the recent terrible explosion oc-
Cured at the Dunbar Mine in Pennsyl-
vania mule was standing in the entry,
where he had been left by his driver,
who had, fortunately, been called away
After the explosion the driver went to
recover the harness, though rather
doubtful about finding much of it attach
ed to the fragments of the beast. He
found not only the harness, but the mule.
The beast stood where he had been left,
unconcernedly munching hay, while
about him were streWp the bodies of the
dead and injured miners. The thousand
and one stories in circulation concerning
the mules superiority to any exciting
occasion are not mere fictions. The ugly
hybrid seems to excel all living things
in toughness.

FRANK MULLIN Philadelphia express
man, was taking box containing two
big hyenas to the Philadelphia Zoo the
other day when he felt particularly
warm and vigorous breath on the back of
his neck. He looked around and saw
that there was big hole in the box,
large enough to permit either of the
beasts to escape, but which was filled by
the heads of boath hyenas, whose white
teeth cleaned unpleasantly near his
back. With yell Frank whipped up
his horses and dashed through the streets
like madman, never stopping until he
reached the Zoo. There the hvenas
were beaten back and the hole was board
ed over, but Mullin didn't entirely re
cover for day or two.

quently-

No faat.S Of q flood -

when they lie in the mud,
No fears of flood
The first of these couplets is of two
fold interest. | have watched them for
years, to see what purport this carrying
of sticks and punches of grass might
have, and have only learned that it has
nothing whatever to do with the wealth
er, or at least with coming rain-storms.
The drought of summer is so far con-
venience as to throw light upon this
habit, as it did upon the uneasy cows.
Pigs carry sticks as frequently then as
during wet weather, or just preceding a
shower furthermore, these gathered
twtgs are not brought together as though
to make a nest, but are scattered about
in a perfect aimless manner. For some
cause, the animal is uneasy, and takes
this curious method of relieving itself.
The probabilities are that it is a sur
vival of some habit common to swine in
their feral condition, just as we see a
dog turn about half dozen times before
lying down.
In an interesting paper on local
weather-lore. read by Mr. Amos w.
Butler before the American Association
for the Advancement of Science, during
the Philadelphia meeting of 1884, the
author has another version of this say
ing: "When hogs gather up sticks and
carry them about, expect cold weather" "
This is wholly at variance with what !
have observed. for my memoranda
record this habit almost wholly during
the hot weather, and this must neces-
sarily be the rule with New jersey
swine, or the local weather-prophets
would not have coined the verse as |
have given it.
As to the other couplet, it is about as
near meaningless as any saying can
well be. Some rustic rhymer, century
ago may have added it as a piece of fun,
but it has stuck most persistently. As
it stands now, it has stood for quite one
hundred years.-Dr. c. c.. abbott, IN
Popular Science Monthly for March.

WARPING THE WASHINGTON
MONUMENT

Washington Letter: A curious char
acteristic of the Washington monument
was related by Colonel Casey at recent
meeting of the society. On every bright
day tie apex of the monument moves at
last one inch westward in the morning,
when the suns rays first fall upon it, aud
eastward again in the afternoon, when
the sun reaches the western side. The
heat of the sun has an expansive effect
upon the masonry, and the plummet
that is suspended in the interior of the
monument registers this. movement from
day to day.

IT is well known that birds are very
sensitive to tones of the voice, and are
terrified at any loud, angry words. A
lady who wished to make a bobolink
stop singing, at last scolded it in a loud
voice, and then took up a scarf and shook
it in rebuke at the Gagged bird. In mo-
ment the bird was still, and q short time
after made huttering about the cage.
Its onwer turned to the bird and was
shocked to see it fall dead. Unkind
words had killed it,

The Door County Advocate reports
that the most experienced fisherman
around Sturgeon Bay favor the repeal of
the present fishing law, holding that the
general government should regulate the
lake fisheries. They say that law should
be passed prohibiting the use of anything
less than a four and half inch mesh be-
tween the first of May and the first OF
August. The nets should be then taken
out altogether, and kept out until the
first of September after which meshes of
any size might be used until the 10Th of
November, when all nets should be taken

EDUCATION, unaccompanied by moral

EDUCATION, unaccompanied by moral
training, does not tend to diminish crime.
1t rather raises the grade and quality of
criminal action and makes it more dam
gerous. 1t was recently shown at trial
in an English court +" that of sixty five
criminals before the court fifty eight had
received some education, twenty-three
could read and write perfectly, and only
seven could neither read nor write. 1t
was also shown that whereas in 1870 of
the Children sent to the reformatory
school 81 per cent of the boys and 46 per
cent of the girls could neither read nor
write, in 1884 only % per cent of the
boys and 33 per cent of the girls were SO
illiterate' Phildelphia Record.

The appearance of a new star in the
great nebula of Andromeda, last sum-
mer, drew upon the well-known hazy
mass great deal more of attention than
had previously been bestowed on it by
the astronomers of this generation. The
result of the observations is an accumula.
ton of evidence in favor of the theory
that the nebula is really a cluster of
stars, at least in part, and IN this respect
differs from the true nebular type. It's
spectrum is continuous, like that which
is given by highly heated bodies; which
indicates that it comes, not from glow
ing mass of gas, but from matter in the
solid or liquid state.
