Ignorance Of the English.

The ignorance of the English is per.
haps more versatile than among any
other civilized and enlightened nation
On the earth. Not one man in ten can
tell you how many counties there are
in England, not M in fifty the popu.
lation Of Manchester, not one in q
thousand the names of the monarchs
Of England. These people actually
know nothing about their own country
nothing about the city in which they
live. The sentry stationed in front OF
Marlborough house will tell you, per.
haps, that is royal 'ighness lives there,
but he doesn't know the name Of the
house. A policeman who for twelve
years had walked the beat in which the
great banking house of the Earrings is 10.
Gated was unable to direct me to that fa-
nous institution-said he had never
heard the name before! Distance Is reck.
oned wholly by time. 1t is four hours to
Liverpool, seventy minutes to Harwich,
twenty minutes to South Kensington,
etc. Talk to an Englishman about
miles and he simply gapes at you in
idiotic wonderment. Eugene Fields

SOuthey's Earnings.

No man ever lived more plainly OF
worked harder than Southey, yet he
never had a years income in advance,
We are told, till in 1885, when he was
81 years old, Sir Robert Peel settled q
pension of $500 on him and offered
him a baronetcy, which he had the
good sense to decline. Eight and
twenty year. earlier, in 1907, a pension
of flC0 a year had been conferred on
him through the good Offices Of his
stanch friend Wynn, who had hitherto
allowed him a similar sum annually.
When he was Al the unexpected pay.
ment of bad debt enabled him to buy
$500 in the 3 per cents. Il have fl0O
already there" he wrote with a mourn.
full touch Of irony, land shall then be
worth fl2 per annum."
Three years later the fl00 had grown
to sG2j, the gatherings of half the
most studions and blameless lifetime of
which the annals of our literature hold
record. And this man was poet lau.
reate of England mot quite one of her
best, perhaps and had enriched our
literature with some Of its finest prose.
He had a wife and family, and for the
greater part Of his life he had to pro.
vide for them out of his brain the roof
that sheltered them, the food they eat
and the clothes they wore. Had sick.
ness stopped the daily task they must
have starved, or been saved from starv.
ing only by charity. -Macmillan's Mag.

FOOLISH SEA GullS.

the Louisiana Boys.
With the breaking up of a hard win,
ter the gull packs up his things and
leaves for II more frigid cline. lie an
not stand the balmy breezes and warm
sunshine. His system Graves billiards
and cold drilling rain, and his yearn-
ing in this direction is SO strong that
even the tempting dainties on the gar
bage C do not tempt him TO stay
Ii is a common sight every afternoon
during the winter to see hundreds OF
the graceful birds flying and screaming
along in the wake of the deeply laden
scow. Now the scow moves Oh alone
to the dumping ground on the Other
side of the bay. With the return OF
cold weather the gull comes back to
another season of wet and garbage. AT
present the Tacoma gull is sojourning
In the region Of the straits, where cold
winds blow. Should the weather grow
too warm 1t moves on further north
and waits for a drop in the tempera
ture before venturing back.
The gull may be a good Judge oi
chills and fever weather, but a a math,
ematician Ii Is a monumental failure.
There may be four or five hundred OBJ
jects punched " in sight of each other,
but the gull can only count one. II
there are twenty gulls flying in a flock
each bird thinks he Is the only one
there, according to the gull method Of
calculation. An old sea captain who
has made a study of deep water birds
and their habits is authority for the
statement that the gull's knowledge OF
arithmetic is limited to one solitary
figure.
When ! was a %youngster," said the
captain. Il lived on the Atlantic coast,
where gulls are lore numerous than
here. They gathered on the beach by
the thousand, where we used to shoot
them for sport. In order to get within
gunshot We would build a blind or am.
bush. Eight or ten boys would arm
themselves with double barreled guns
and march along in plain view of the
birds, which would settle at n distance
to watch our movements.
Before going into the blind We
would scatter a quantity of feed within
gunshot Of the ambush and then wait
for the victims. Then when the beach
was thickly dotted with them we would
give a broadside, each gunner letting
go both barrels. The survivors flew of
q short distance, but as soon as one OF
u number had gone out, gathered up
the dead and moved off in the opposite
direction from the blind the other gulls
returned. They had seen the whole
crowd Of gunners enter the blind, but
1t wa only n man to them. He was
een to leave the place and carefully
counted by the gulls. who were then
satisfied that all danger was passed.
Then we would give them another
round, after which one more gunner
would leave, and SO on until the am.
bush was vacated. 1t was a mean ad.
vantage to take of an uneducated bird,
but then We had to have some excite.
ment. New Orleans Times Democrat.

A New Use for the Telephone.

Sir Humphrey de Trafford, Of Man.
chester, England, is the first person to
apply the telephone to the dog bust

finest kennels in England, and when
his kennelman wishes to quiet the oc-

to the telephone in his own room and
reads the riot act to that particular
dog, for in every kennel is a telephone

LEGEND OF ADAMS BONES.
A Singular Account Of the Preservatio
Of the skull of the First Man.

A Singular Account OF the Preservatios
Of the skull Of the First Man.
The following tradition of the d.
vision and final burial place of the
bones of Adam, our common ancestor,
Is from a curious work entitled IA
Mumical Treatise of Tentzelius; A Ma
tural Account of the Tree of Life, and
Of the Tree Of knowledge Of Good and
Evil" This odd little work was pub
lished by Hen: Fletcher at the three
gilt cups in Paul's churchyard, Lon
don, 1857" The legend is AS follows:
Noah was commanded by God to
carry Adams bones and the Tree which
grew on his sepulcher into his Ark, and
preserve the originate of mankinde;
which Noah did with all observance.
And when Noah sent his three son
forthe into the three parts of the
worlde, he divided Adams bones
amongst them, giving his legs and feet
to his youngest some, his breast and
his arms to his middle some and his
head and skull to his eldest some, "a
such sacred relickes of the father Of
mankinde as deserved to be kept.
| Now his first born betook himself into
| the parts zeal Jerusalem. where he
buried Adams skull in a little mount
ain, which was therefore called Mount
Calvary, because Adams calvaria, or
skull, was there inferred; which the
evangelist therefore called Golgotha,
or the place of a skull, in the singular
number. Moreover the Tree Of the
transplation of Adam was by remarka-
BILE and admirable Providence pre-
served and made into a cross for
Christ's crucifxion, and erected direct
ly over the place where Adams skull
was buried"
Although the text of the above copy
is somewhat ambiguous, enough may
be CLEANED from it To prove, according
to the legend, that the grave Of Adam
was opened by those who were to take
passage ON the ark that the bones and
a tree which originally grew over them
were deposited in the vessel that was
to override the flood and were TINS
saved from obliteration; that the son
of the ark builder who fell heir to
Adams skull was also intrusted to
transplant the tree, which, through a
series of remarkable coincident hap
penings. was used in after years as q
cross for the crucifixion of the Saviour.
The mystery of the whole affair Is
deepened by the last sentence of the
legend. which says that the cross wa
set up directly over the spot where
Adams skull had been deposited by
the dutiful son of Noah, an assertion
concurring in every particular with the
Scriptural account, which says that the
place Of crucifixion was known as ''the
place OF a skull"
The author of the work containing
the above legend attributes it to IAN
ancient doctor In the eastern country
and a bishopo of the church a little after
Christ."-St. Louis Republic.

exactly suited to its historical association.
The trees. the flowers, the landscape gar

iugton. Aud no more lovely spot can be
found mon this earth than is Mt. Vernon
to-day, restored by the wizard touch Of
these American fairies. Standing 10y the
simple tomb, erected under the directions
of his will, the thought came to my mind 4:
How annropriate that the home of Wash
ington should be cm ed for and his sacred
dust he guarded by the women Of America!
As generation follows generation and the
States of the Union multiply. may the IN
creasing band stand guard around this
sacred spot till time shall be no more and
the mortal remains of Washington put on
immortality.
