Not So Smart,

An uptown Scranton man thought
a great deal of his old mother cat for
little while after he reached home the
other evening. He saw her carry Il
dead English sparrow from the front
yard to the back of the house, and
on the back porch he found thirteen
more dead sparrows in n heep. The
cat dropped the last one on the pile,
and the man praised puss for
her remarkable work. 1t tick
led him SO much that he went
right away and told his near
est neighbor all about the cats feat
of catching fourteen sparrows in one
afternoon. His bliss was of short du-
ration, for the fact of the matter was
that the cat hadn't caught single
one of the birds alive. The neighbor
to whom he was Dragging about the
cat had shot every one of the spar
rows from his window with q little
rife, and the birds had dropped into
the other mans yard.-Scranton

"A Suspended Judgment"

The true scientific attitude of the
day, as expressed by the president OF
the British association, Professor
Fowler, is suspended Judgment. "
Professor Fowler indorses Sir John
Lubbock's idea that the field of in
quiry is limitless and that there may
be fifty other senses as different
from ours as sound is from sight. and
even within the boundaries of our
own senses there may be endless
sounds which we cannot hear and
colors as different as red from green
of which we have no conception.
These and thousand other ques-
tions remain for solution. The tamil
lar world which surrounds us may be
a totally different place to other
animals, To them it may be full of
music which we cannot hear, of color
which we cannot see, of sensation
which We cannot conceive. "-Science

the Snow Flower.

Count Anthoskoff's curious discovery
Of the snow flower is likely to interest
foriculturists for some time to come, as,
from the accounts given of it, it appears
to be not only remarkable but a singu-
larly beautiful plant. 1t was discovered
on the perpetually frozen ground Of
Siberia, but Count Anthoskof has sue
ceeded in raising plants from seed placed
in pot of snow at st. Petersburg. The
bloom lasts only for single day, and
comes once in two years. A French con-
temporary thus describes it: The leaves
are three in number, and each about
three inches in diameter. They are de-
veloped only on that side of the stem
toward the north, and each seems COW
cred with microscopic crystals of snow.
The flower when it opens is star shaped,
its petals are of the same length as the
leaves, and about half an inch in width.

Only a Baby.

A pretty story of royal etiquette is
told by The Pail Mall Gazette. 1t seems
that all heroyal children, whether Of
Prussia, Austria, or Bavaria, take
equal delight in seeing the soldiers
present arms to them. When the
Princess Gisela, who is aunt to the
little Archduchess Elizabeth, was 4
years old she used to make a great
fuss every time her gloves were put on.
She was told one day that il she went
out without her gloves the soldiers
would not salnte her. All ola sudden
the little girl became most eager to
wear gloves. Then as soon as she
was out of doors she peered about
for soldiers. Directly she caught
sight OF one she held up both her little
fat hands and cried, 81 got my
gloves"

God dar DIS Marks.

We have previously told several good
stories of Col. John Goddard, who was a
king among the Penobscot lumbermen in
his day. The Dexter Gazette tells more.
Goddard sent large crews into the woods
every year. AS soon as he had hired his
man he started him off for the scene of
operations. He always furnished trans
portation, together with food and lodg-
ing while on the way. He franked the
men through, as 1t were. Upon the back
OF each he scrawled few chalk marks,
ana man bearing that superscriptlon
was entitled to all the privileges the
stage line or hotel could furnish John
Goddard settled the tariff and paid the
score. Furthermore, no man was re-
ceived by the woods boss unless he could
whirl about and show Goddard's bold
chirography in the vicinity of his spinal
column.-Lewiston journal.
