They Divide Gloves.

There is certain dealer in gloves in
Washington who receives at regular in
tervals an order for pair of gloves,
the one pair to be divided between two
men. He wraps up one glove and sends
it to a certain address and the other
glove TO another address. Sometimes
he has to send one Of the gloves by
mail to Mississippi. The exp anation
of this old state of affairs is this
General Hooker, member of the Mis-
sissippi delegation in congress-, was a
Confederate soldier, and in one of the
charges which he lcd at the head of his
cavalry against the Union lines he lost
his right arm. His other hand was
Wounded, and he wears glove upon it
almost constantly.
Major Powell, chief of the geological
survey, was also brave soldier on the
Union side, and he, too, came out of
the battle one day minus an arm--his
left one. He and General Hooker are
intimate friends and their hands are of
the same size, so when Major Powell
wants a glove he buys pair and says:
sSend the other one to Hooker"
Likewise. when General Hooker's glove
gets little worn he orders a new pair
and says: .'Send the other one to
Powelll"- Washington Capital.

millionth part that it should be. 1t is
used for respiratory purposes, for tho

ski gun, for the turning of some wind
mills and few other purposes, but
with respect to its quantity, its
strength, its pliability, its ease of har-
Messing and handling, it is doing abso-
lutely nothing.
1t is time that something be done
with this pervading and potent energy.

cred that it was no bowling, angry
demon, as was supposed by earlier ages,
but an available, powerful energy which
could be haltered broken TO harness
and made to work with the steadiness
of plough horse.
For thousands Of centuries ell ectricity
was simply member of an untamed
family of wild beats; and much the
same is true Of the atmosphere. 1t has
been untamed, destructive. It has
gamboled idly among the flowers as a
zephyr. 1t has scurried across the
prairles and uplands as breeze, scud-
ded over the waters as a gale, wrecked
ships as tempest, and corkscrewed
over the pl aims, uprooting forests and
prostrating houses as cyclone. Here
are motors, powers, energies, forces,

The Oldest Observatory.

The observatory at Pekin is the old
est in the world, having been founded
in 1879 by Kublai Khan, the first EN-
peror of the Mogul dynasty. There
are still in it three of the first instru-
ments of observation. These were used
for the obser vation of Halley's comet
in 1888. and may also be used when,
twenty-five years hence, this comet
again appears. The old est observatory
in Europe is that founded by King
Frederick III. of Denmark, on the ISL
and of Hveen, in the Sound, and where
the fanosli astronomer I'yTfas,-Ssshe car-
ried out his celebrated observations
among Others that of the "bright" star

A fish story comes from Santa Rosa.
Cal. A well has been dug on ths
ranch of John Walker, who lives few
miles west of that city, which is a mar
vel to the neighbors. In drawing
water thousands of eyeless fish, ranginp o
from half an inch to six inches in
length have been taken out. Occa-
sionally the bucket is drawn up half
full of fish. No subterranean inlet 10

well is about 15 miles from the ocean.

What Is a Gentleman.

What is gentleman? 1t is not one
Knowing instinctively what be should shuu'
Speaking no word that could injure or PAIN
Spreading no scandal, and deep'ning no
stain7
One who knows how to put each at his ease
Striving, successfully always TO plea e.
One who can tell by glance at your cheek
When to besilent and when he should speak,
What is a gentleman Is it not one
Honestly eating the bread he has won,
Walking in uprightness, fearing the God,
Leaving no stain on the path he has trod
Caring not whether bis coat may be old
Prizing sincerity far above gold,
Recking not whether his hand may be
hard
Stretching it boldly to grasp its reward2
What is a gentleman Say, is it birth
Makes man noble or adds to his WORTH
Is there a family tree to be had
Shady enough to conceal what is bad2
Seek out the man who has God for his
guide,
Nothing to tremble at, nothing to hide,
Be he a noble, or be he in trade,
He is the gentleman Nature has made.
-The Pilot.

Morning in the Hills


faint ..rs.ls oflight in the far-down East
Outlined by an unseen pencil,
The artist hand of the dawn's high priest
Who spreads DER a shadowed stencil
The silver hues of the mornings wings
The dusk and the darkness taking,
While the old earth sighs and the pine toP
sings:
"Awakel for the day is breaking"
The gray squirrel barks for the woods are
still
And the silence makes him Drawer,
And he sees the sun behind the hill,
Where the shadows twist and waver-
The gray squirrel watches the dead leaves
whirl
That the sun no more shall nourish,
High on a branch with his tail a-curl,
Like a writing-master's flourish.
The partridge drums on ansold dry log'
A haunt of worm and cricket,
Down near the edge of cranberry bog
Close by white birch thicket;
And at times the reverberation floats
Through the air so round and mellow
That it sounds as sweet as the basso noees
OF "a maestro's violincello.
The gray squirrel barks and the parrldge
drums,
And the sunlight follows faster;T
And over the pines the wind-god comes
With the touch of an untaught MASTER
And he strikes the chords from maze OF
limbs
That glitter with frost-lace hoary,
While eastward now as the darkness dims
Is the sun in a sea of glory,
