Longrrl,ow Remembered Him.


About 1856 an Englishman of letters,
Mr.. Kingston, visited this country. While
in Boston he took occasion t o call upon
Mr.. Longfellow with letters introductory
from a mutual acquaintance in England.
AS he describes the interview in his
"Western Wandcrings," it must have
been very gratifying to the visitor.
1--WE were Don discussing books and
and writers of books, the leading spirits
of IL two great countries. After talk
ing for a few minutes he stopped short
and said: Il am certain of tive have
met before-many years ago, though
"'When can that have been? l must
own that l have no recollection of your
countcnance: but then, from being near
sighted, countenances do not make much
impression on me- l replied.
Ibid you not cross from Ostend to
London IL night in September. 1919?
and did you not spend the first part of
it on deck, as the cabin was crowded. he
asked.
81 am pretty certain l did, undoubt-
cdly about that time: and l think l mado
a note in my diary that l had met on
board 4 very agreeable American, with
whom l had much conversation, but lit
tie thought l who it was! l exclaimed,
gratitied at being so recollectcd. -

photoramic Lantern.

The photoramic lantern is the name of
q new device by which a Photographic
artist claims to be able to project upon
a screen or wall, not mere fixed objects,
but scenes of life and movement, such as
are observed on tho white table in the
camera obscura. The invention includes
a peculiar sort of photographers camera
of about a foot square. The instrument
is pointed at a particular moving object,
and by turning the handle a number of
photographs are taken every second.
These successive phases of a scene in
movement are then converted into trans
parencies and placed in succession upon
a long strip, which is wound on rollers
and passed through the Photographic
lantern, with results which appear to be
similar to the well known philosophical
toy, the "zoetrope."-New York Com
mercial Advertiser.

Tho Boz ON the Platform.

Attic dinner station, where we stopped
one day on a certain Tennessee railroad,
almost the first sight which greeted the
eyes of those who got off was a rough
burial box on the platform, and seated
near it was an old black woman with a
handkerchief to her eyes. When kindly
asked the cause of her sorrow she pointed
to the box and replied:
ode ole mans in dar."
"Your husband?"
"Yes; died two days ago back yere in
the kentry."
"And what are you doing with the
body heres"

but l hain't got money huff to take it on
de railroad"
"What n%onscnse! exclaimed a man,
as he came forward. "What's tho diff
ference where n niger is buried? They
want her to bury it here, but she won't.
She's determined to take it to Charles
town"
"For what rcason?" asked the passen-
ger who had put all tho previous ques.
tions.
"'Kase, sab, all do TO chill'n is buried
up dar', an his mudder an sister, an de
poo ole man will be lonesome down

"Look hcre! whispered the other, as
he went over to him, I'D rather he a
niger with her soul than to be q white
man with yours! She's right. Let the
family dead sleep together"
He entered the express office, paid for
the shipment of the body, bought the
widow a ticket to Charlestown, and then
dropped a $40 gold piece in her hand and
said:
"Give him a decent funeral, nanny,
and this will put upa headboard to mark
the grave"

The Possibilities of Life.

We arc put here to sccretc something
everlasting out of nature. The oppor-
tnnities are rich, but it is the capacity,
the fiber, that determines whether we
shall do it, for nature contributes to our
life, not primarily according to its
bounty, but according to the fila,nents
in us that will solicit and incorporate its
bounty. One man absorbs mathematical
truth out of the heavens, while side by
side with him a mortal exists that organ
ICES nothing grand OF stately into his
constitution-just as the mushroom can
do no more than hoist its plated parasol
out of the same ground, and in the same
sunlight, from which the oak seed i'm
bibed slowly its tremendous strength.
Another man draws to himself the wis
dom printed in the granite leaves be-
meath us, which earthquakes have turn
ed for our benefit, and shows that he has
ennobled his life by it. A third wins a
divine thought, limited in the old bones
which the globe entombs; while a fourth
fastens OH history, and compels the laws
of it to filter through facts into his
reason.-Starr King.

Figure. ON Watch pi.ls.

American Notes and Queries being
asked by a correspondent why the fig
ure 4 is marked iii and not ~ on
the dials of watches, answers: The story
runs that the first clock resembling
own was made in 1870 for the con-
ceited Charles v, king of France. When
Henry Wick brought it to him he said
that to mark 4 o'clock by ~ was a mis-
take. On being told by the maker that
he was wrong, he Numbered out: 81 am
wrong. Take it away and correct
the mistake" From that time to this,
as a tradition, clock and watch makers
have invariably used iii instead of ~
on the diaI.-Philadelphia Ledger.

A woman's Club.

You men have numerous clubs to
which you can goand spend your leisure
hours, while we-poor creatures-are
supposed to spend u spare time at
home. l have been long thinking Of
forming some sort of organization for
ladies where they may go in the after
noon and have a good time just like tho
sterner sex. In the evening wo could
have receptions for u gentlemen
friends. OF course, we would have no
bar or smoking room, but would have
tea and coffee rooms instead. A club Of
that sort would be heartily Endorsed by
numerous well known society leaders,

A MOTHERS A

All the children come to me,
Look up at me-, and run to me;
Little babies peep at me,
First furtivc and then knowingly,
And soon their wandering eyes will smile
And for n moment they beguile
My soul to fairyland.
Oh, how they come! they know my loss;
They draw the nails from out my cross
Suffer them. Lord. to come, to como.
Once, children never noticed me,
For then ! had II child athome:
But o they know the look in me.

Their little arms around my neck.

Remarkable somuambulism.

Two remarkable cases of somnambu-

Uses of Ants.

Ants are terrible fighters. They have
very powerful jaws, considering the size
of their bodies, and therefore their
method of fighting is by biting. They
will bite n another and hold on with
a wonderful grip of the jaws, even after
their legs have been bitten off by other
ants. Sometimes six or eight ants will
be cinging with a death grip to one am.
other, making a peculiar spectacle, some
with a leg gone, and some with half the
body gone. One singularfact is that the
grip of an ants jaw is retained even
after the body has been bitten of aud
nothing but the head remains. This
knowledge is possessed by a certain tribe
of Indians in Brazil, South America.
who put the ants to q very peculiar use.
When an Indian gets a cash cut in his
hand, instead of having his hand sewed
together as the physicians do in this
country, he procures five or six large
black ants, and, holding their heads near
the cash, they bring their jaws together
in biting the flesh, and thus pull the two
sides of the cash together. Then the
Indian pinches off the bodies of the ants,
and leaves their heads clinging to the
flesh, which is held together until the
cash is perfectly healed-Interview in

The Boss FAMILY.-Carson can
boast of a family of men as fine
in physique as the balance of this
earth can produce. Although they
originally hail from Genoa, Carson
has been holding the largest por-
ton of them, which allows us to
claim them as Carsonites. They
are all of the same father and
mother, who were sturdy pioneers,
with good stock and plenty of
muscle and grit. Anyone who ad-
mires a family of men can be sat-
isfied to the fullest extent of the
law by having a look at the Ray

weight is $50 pounds. Below is

$50; Ed, $50; Dick, 1875. This

they can send up to so feet. Jerry
Is said to be the strong
