Two from the School Roon,.

A teacher in a city near New York had small class in easy physiology They had had several lessons on the ear, and had been so thoroughly drilled on the names and uses of all its parts, that when some visitors dropped in the teacher was glad it happened to be the hour for this class to recite. After ask ing several questions, and receiving prompt and correct answers, she said: ''H hat is the name of the canal in the ear?"
 The child hesitated a moment, and then spoke up, loud and plain: ''The Erie canal!''
 The visitors thought if she judged by the sound it was no wonder the child thought the Erie canal ought to be in the ear, and were, perhaps, better pleased than the teacher was with the answer.
 Another teacher in the same city asked one of her scholars the meaning of the word ssvicissitude. J

 "That is right" said the teacher, ''now give me a sentence with the word vicissi- tude in it. ;

How Watch Clubs Are Formed.

Watch clubs have done a great deal for the business in this country and have put gold watches into the vest pockets of thousands who could never hope to buy them n any other way. It is not like the installment business. The club maker or dealer does not have to charge an ex- orbitant price for the watches and he runs little or no risk, for he never lets a watch go out of his hands without good security in the signature of a responsible man, who signs an agreement to assume the debt if the watch holder slkips be- fore the last payment is made. The dealer need not buy a watch until every dollar is paid in for it by the sixty or more members of the club. Then he draws slip of paper from box, and the number upon it designates the sub scriber who is to have the watch that week. He notifies the lucky member that he has drawn watch, and tells him to bring forth surety, and he can carry it; but it remains the property of the dealer until the last dollar has been paid, and the drawer signs document to that effect. The following week the collec- ton of $1 is made from each member of the club, and another drawing takes place. This business has assumed won derful proportions throughout the United States, and now there is scarcely town without its watch club. Rogues have taken advantage of the scheme, but only in small way, for they cannot operate more than one week in place without being detected, and then the amount is too small to be attractive.-Dealer in New York Sun.

Tricks of Eastern Wizards.

Alderahman, the conqueror of northern Spain, according to the Moorish chronicle of the Caliphs, once engaged master wizard" who introduced himself by making the shadow of dial retreat by 12 degs., an exploit which, indeed, even Russian facilities of collusion would fail to explain. That same court wizard is said to have predicted the issue of the battle of Tours (the Charles Martel affair." a full year before his royal patron crossed the Pyrennes; but in that branch of his art at least his prestige can be challenged by the record of a modern specialist. The clairvoyante Lenormand, whose sanctunl i'll the Rue Madeleine seems to have rivaled the popularity, and almost the emoluments, of the Delphic oracle, fore told Col. Murat that his career would end on the throne of a king Certainly an augurium of quite classic ambiguity, his fa,:t.s i-s-.s.s-...im far beyond the borders Of his native land. She also assured ex-Jacobin Bassere that the ghosts of the past would not rise against him; and when Talleyrand wis tied her in the garb of country curate she outlined his political vicissitudes in a way that convinced him that her keen eyes must have penetrated either his dis guise or the veil of the future. In 1903 Napoleon himself could no longer resist the witchery of her growing fame, and one evening gave her a rendezvous ill the library of the Tuileries.

A Nervy Fidgety People.

We are emphatically people of nerves. Visitors from other lands are astonished at the fierce activity that pervades our most insignificant actions; but they them- selves speedily contract restlessness and no longer marvel at wonderful develop ments of invention and speed of practical application. l portion of this energy is doubtless due to American climate, which teaches in a vigorous and obtrusive man. ner, that quiet and rest do not form part of natural law in this country, but it is far more result of our newness, our youth in the family of nations. Scarcely out of our swaddling clothes of history, we are called upon to stand up squarely in competition with thousand years of past, and show the old fogies new thing or two And we have done it, are doing it now and apparently have shouldered a contract to keep in the lead for all time to come. What with new instru- ments for annihilation of time and dis tance, limited express trains across the continent and unlimited chances for ex- press speed in dissipation, the American l-l l--.>--1s--e -errfl1x-,l to he sl.la of great delfcacy of nerve. Our children, at an age when their contemporaries iD other lands are still at school, relegate the ''old folk" to the rear; and fathers opinion is voted as "good, of course, but belongs to past period"
 Yet, in all this mad speed, there is reason. It does not follow that we live shorter lives than elsewhere, even in length of years; that is not the case. We are not less capable of keen appreciation of good things, when once they are in troduced to us; on the contrary, we are apt to see beauty and say so, too, when not even a glance of pleasure shows that our slower neighbor hls noticed it. But, from medical point of view, our tenn perament is a dangerous one to the state, in that it does most distinctly repress re- production. The future American will be conglomerate; the blood of our fore fathers will be so far diluted that its characteristic will be lost in foreign over flowing tide, which, if sluggish in its flow, may still be of service by reclaim ing from too much nervousness our fidgety people. e.-American Magazine.
