Somewhat Strange.

The following almost incredible
story is told of New York young man
who had a goats eye inserted for his
own deceased member One day while
in mid-ocean he wandered near the
stewards apartments and fell into con-
versation with that worthy. Suddenly
he noticed that his goat-eye was look
ing longingly at the nice red label
upon tomato-can. How rich and juicy
it appeared. Something seemed to tell
him that the label was edible. He tried
to subdue the sensation. but the deep
ly-tinted and seductive paper appeared
more and more to him in the light of
an epicurean delicacy. last, unable
to restrain himself, he reached Tor the
can, tore the label off and was about to
taste it, when it fell within the range
OF his legitimate. college-bred eye. The
singular sensation was gone, and
throwing the label overheard in disgust
he sought his state-room. Cor. Ciascin-

Why Not Have "Gumpire."

WHO is that big boy, Alec, who
calls out so loud, and seems to make
people mind him?"
Mildred was watching game of
baseball, and Alec was trying to ex-
plain it to her a
''Oh!' said he, ''that is the umpire;
you see he decides what is fair, and
what isn't, and that keeps the boys
from quarreling.'
"Do they all mind him9" questioned
the little girl.
Have to- answered Alec, "because
that's the rule.
A few weeks later, Alec and Mildred
went to the country with their mother,
to board for some time in big farm
house, with ever SO many other little
people.
Somehow it seemed very hard at first
to get along smoothly; some wanted to
play one thing and some another; some
wanted to take too many turns in the
swing, and some wanted more than
their share of cherries.
why not have gumpire?" cried
Mildred one day.
IA gump what?" said the others.
But Alec laughed and laughed till
he rolled over in the grass.
''She means an UMPIRE he ex-
planned. when he could get his breath;
and when he tod them what an umpire
was. they thought it a fine idea.
And indeed it proved to be good
plan. They took it by turns being
umpire, day about; and they were very
careful to do as the umpire decided,
when any dispute arose. So all that
summer they played under the maple
trees without any quarreling.

father of one set of little folks, this
idea of an umpire, and giving him

BABY'S PIGS.

Ten i3tle pigs that grow and thrive
Rosy and plump and clean:
Two little pens, each holding five,
And the owner is Baby Gene.
They wriggle about, and root and dig
And push again and again,
Till at last we find one dear little pic
Is out of the little red pen
Baby Gene is little old man,
Bald and serious, too,
He looks to the pigs whenever he can,
But he has great deal to do.
And this little pig says he'll get some corn,
And the next one cries: so where?"
And the little one says: In grandpa's
barn.
And the great one knows it's there.
Four pearly grains he can plainly see:
Have them he must and Will;
He strains and struggles-but 'quce-QueC

He can't get over the sill,
So he's given it up, and off he goes,

But it never, never will do,

Wonders of the Animal Kingdom.

The microscopic world is full of Won
ders. There are tiny little creatures
which, Notwithstanding their extreme
minuteness, possess in some cases sur
prisingly complicated internal organi-
cation. Their form IS, as a rule, fixed,
yet some Of. them change their shape at
will, and present to the eyes of the as
tonished observers SO many different
aspJcts that at the expiration of five
minutes they can not be recognized.
At one moment they are globular or
three-cornered; an instant after they
are seen taking on the appearance of a
star.
Accordingly, these creatures, with
their deceptive changes of form, have
received the name of Protei, from the
famous sea-god of antiquity, who by
his wonderful metamofphoses was en-
abled to elude attempts to catch him.
Some animalcules of this class sur.
round themselves with self-groduced
feet like living roots, the arrangement
of which they are seen to vary in a
thousand ways. Sometimes they ex.
tend them to an immense length; some.
times they withdraw them entirely.
They spread them out separately, Join

now tod you, that there is an INTEL
lectual sympathy between us which
means something more than the ordin-

sex for the other. Doubtless you have
reflected on the symbolic meaning of
! the Mosaic account of the creation of
woman, representing her as having
once been part Of mans anatomical

forth that man and woman are but the
severed halves of a once complete and

establishment of the intimate union
that existed before the separation, and
out Of which longing arises the passion
or emotion we call love. But in the
growth Of our acquaintanceship, Miss
Laura, l have been at times conscious
OF what seems to me deeper sympathy
than this generic and universal emo

The professor paused a moment to

1.-The explanation usually given by
commonplace minds in regard to this
psychological phenomenon. which in
its ordinary aspect is familiar to most
people, is that the two hemispheres OF
the brain do not always act co-ordin-
ately, and that whenever one or the
other is tardy in its action the result is
mistaken for the sudden recurrence of
some impression received long ago in
stead of being the almost immediate
echo of cerebral action that has Just
taken place. Such an explanation, it
is needless to say, can never satisfy

problems of nature and seeks the bed

liberation, decided that the risk was
too great, and so notified the would-be
donor. Not long after he came back
and renewed his proposition to turn the
money over to the society, and said
that he would be content with seven
per cent. annually. That proposition
was accepted, and for some years he

Your usanointed eyes shall fall
On hien who fills my soul with light;
You dol see my friend at all,
You see what hi:;s him from your sight
see the feet that fain would climb,
You but the steps that turn astray;
see the soul unframed, sublime,
You but the garment and the clay,
You see a mortal. weak, misled,
Dwarfed ever by the earthly clod;
see how manhood. perfected,
May reach the stature Of god.

And 10! l worship at his feet.

In Judge Shiras' court there was an equity
case of Mason VS. Mason, which has peculiar
features IL is a suit of son against father
The plaintiff claims that his father, who
lives in Pennsylvania, came out here and
bargained for farm in Ringgold county for
5000, which he was to give TO his son. He
paid 5000 on the place, and on returning home
sent his son 81 500 of which 81 800 was paid
on the farm and the other $500 used to stock
it, with the understanding that the young
man should use this amount later in paying
off $500 mortgage on the farm. The old
gentleman was to keep the place in his name
until it was cleared by the young man and
then deed it to him as gift. The young man
went ahead with improvements, paid the
interest on the mortgage, and handled
the property as his own. In two or three
years he began to urge the father to deed him
the farm, but the old gentleman after some
delays utterly refused. Then this. suit was
brought, The mortgage now has been fore
closed and forty acres sold off to satisfy that.
