Gen. Buffers Sharp Grandchild

General Ben. Buffers boutonniere
WAS covered by his overcoat when lie
left Albany Thursday evening on the
Boston-bound train with his colored
servant. The general felt that the
arguments of his side in the Hoyt will
case before the Court of Appeals were
effective. To the Listener he said that
he sometimes read novels, but the
book he was occupied with when he
was found in his room ut the Delavan
House on Wednesday was the Popular
Science Monthly. Il was reading an
article in it on astronomy" he said.
Il have grandson who is studying
astronomy, and he and l have some
great debates on the subject. 1t is
nip and tuck. He will give poser
and then l will endeavor to stick him
with one. The magazine has Just
such an article in it as will answer one
of the young mans questions, and so
l have mailed the magazine to him. I"
And the general laughed to himself.
Then he told of a geometrical question
the boy gave him. Take plane and
place cylinder on it, what part of the
cylinder touches the planeP" The gen.
eral replied: 1.-The line" "How can
that be?' responded the student. "a
line has no width, breadth or depth.
Being without these, how can anything
rest on it?" Tho general probably

The Way they Have I'm China.

The household of the Emperor of
China includes thirty umbrella-bearers
and scventy-tive astrologers. The as
trologers, who correspond to the Sig
nal Bureau of this country, predict
every day the weather for the morrow.
If they predict rain, the umbrellas
bearers take a day off. If they an
nounce fair weather. on the other
hand, the umbrella-bearers, mandar-
ins of the overshoe and macintosh
men report at the palace at $3.50 a. m.
The Emperor of China may be heath
en- Chinese, but he knows enough to
copper his astrologers and meteorolo-
gers. As an instance of the sagacity
of the Chinese imperial family in this
regard, we may mention the signal re-
futation of judicial astrology made by
Hung-Beef-T -Tung, a graduate of the
present Emperor. Chow-Chow, Presi-
dent of the Imperial College of Astrol-
ogers, came to Prince Hung's palace
one morning, and said: '.Scion of sew
enty thousand generations Of Huugs,
your poor servant has dreamed
dream. Mescemed that thou and |
were TRANSFORMED into great black
dragons. Our wings were of equal

''Well," asked the Prince, graceful
ly polishing his middle finger nail with
the fiat of adagger of the first dynasty.
'What of it, young feller?"
''This, my puissant and most gra-
cious lord, that thy life and mine shall
be long and of equal length. Astrolo-
gy. Colonel Hung, is infallible."
'Ionr are liar" cried the Prince,
and slit the astrologer's weasand. And
it seems that Chow was liar. For
old Hung survived him twenty-eight
years, and would be alive now if he
had left opium alone. Since Chow's
death The Chinese astrologers have, by
imperial orders, confined their pretlic-
tions to tho weather. If they make n
correct prediction they are executed,
but thus far none has incurred the
penalty. The American Signal Ser
vice Bureau has still something to learn
from Chinese methods. - NetO IOr6

college professors have a good many
'fads' of that kind. They all say 'rute'

''Oh. that is those fellows chief stock

teaching the mutilation of the English
language than in any other way. But
for that branch of their business the

occasionally trailing water lilies
with their twisting stems. Be-
side each plate were set small
tennis shoes of white straw filled with blue
chiccory ternating with miniature tennis
rackets having clusters of blue bachelors

bons. These were for favors, and very

served in the fruit garden under long

cloth of pinkish green silk embroidered in
purple floss with grape clusters. In the
middle of the table was crystal bowl piled
high with green and white grapes half hid
