Equal TO the Occasion

FROM the 1outus Companion
Professor Green OF Brown University vss
one of the best teachers in New England, but
he sometimes became so much interested IN
his lecture that when the noon bell rang he
kept the class i've or ten minutes over the
hour.
Certain restless spirits in the class thought
they would give the professor q gentle hint,
SO they bought a small alarm clock set il 20
go off precisely at noon and placed IL on the
professors desk when they came In to the next
lecture. They knew that he was Q little sbsent
minded and expected that he would not notice
it
As the noon hour struck the alarm vent OF
with a rafting crash and those of the class
not IN the secret started and took in the Joke
at once. There was q round Of applause.
Ths professor waited until the alarm and
applause were over and then said, de-
liberately:
Young gentlemen, thank you for this little
gift. 1 had forgotten il my birthday. A
clock is something my wife has also needed
In the kitchen for some time. IL Is . very kind
remembrance on your part"
The professor then went on TO finish Q
demonstration interrupted by the alarm and
1t was ten minutes later than usual
when he dismissed the class! He also
took the clock home with him and
the boys never knew whether he undsr-
stood the hint or not; but the probability u
that be did.

How Men Wear Their Cum.

from the buffalo Enquirer.
1t is quite interesting to study the different
ways men have of wearing their cuffs- GER
tain class Of men always wear the largest size
they can buy, and another class get those but
little larger than their wristbands. As a rule
the small, weazen-faced man wears the largest
cuffs. he generally gets No. IL and always
allows them to come down over his hands
The fat man generally wears small cuffs and
rarely has them in sight. Another conspicuous
character Is the Tan who always keeps his little
finger sprawling around in the attempt to push
his cuff up where it belongs.
Examine his hand closely and you will fnd
small callous on the outer edge Of his little
Finger Why does he persist in wearing them
IN this way! He realizes that it looks untidy
and that they are an annoyance to him, vet
you could Lot induce him to have his shirt
sleeves made any shorter or to wear sleeve
supporters Then again you meet the man
who always wears the cuff machine" an in
genious continuance that attaches the cuff to
the shirt sleeve and may be raised or lowered
at will Next comes the man who saves his
laundry bill by reversing his cuffs and the man
who has them joined to his shirt sleevsa

human eye outward and upward. which 10 .
good thing in itself. For all Of which George
Washington has ever enjoyed considerable re-
pute with me as an everyday solid silver hero,
who deserved everv foot Of his monument. I
have never been able TO look at the pale, plain
obelisk which towers TO his memory without
emotion. Whether the turmoil which fills nv
breast on these occasions arises from a recol-
lection OF his deeds or the reflection that the

some one was infallibly skinned therein have
been too busy to determine. trust il il the
memory of wsshington's deeds, and incline TO
think it is.
but this is not, after all, what set out to
chronicle. To me was permitted the sight Of
funny old book the other day. II il one of the
very old-time court records Of Fairfax county,
OF an hour when Lord Fairfax himself held
court. The book accompanied some Yankees
north during the war. they had q taste for

the other grown too old TO read or his con-
science squirting, returns il TO the clerk OF that
county. The book contains 800 pages with
clasps and sewn with catgut. The unruled
paper employed lie of q dull. leaden color, and
the writing is legible NJ on the PARKWAY

West first made the entries and took their fees
therefor in broad-leafed tobacco.
WAS somewhat shocked in looking over this
tome to learn that George Washington-our
George, mind you-was forever being indicted
and tried for failing TO pay his taxes. I had
never contemplated Washington ms q taxpayer

record describes q time from 1855 TO l76s.

To Restore Our Foreign Carrying Trade.
From the Forum.
Commerce has its strategy" NO less than
war. In war strategy depends on lines of
operation and communication. At this time
we possess neither, for either commerce or
war. Our great rival controls both in every
sense Of the word. This pitiable condition on
the ocean is emphasized by the contrast of our
unrivaled power, resource and enterprise
within our own borders. It seems indeed the
strangest anomaly of modern civilization that
the mos. enlightened, most ambitious, most
energetic, most productive and internally most
powerful nation on the globe should be ex-
ternally among the weakest, most helpless and
least respected.
The sole remedy for this situation il ships
with seamen to handle them, whether for peace
or for war; whether to carry our enormous
exports and bring our immense imports and
receive therefor the tremendous tolls which
now now into foreign Golfers or to vindicate the
majesty and power Of our flag abroad in the
world to degree BETTING our status in the
community Of nations. There is NO lack of
raw material, no lack Of skin to fashion it into
the instruments Of commerce. We have the
iron and the steel; We have the men to work
them into the finished forms of stately ships;
We have the money to promote the most colossa
OF enterprises by sea- All we need is assurance
OF . steady national policy of liberal and
enlightened encouragement, based upon n pa-
triotic common consent and elevated above the
turmoils Of politics or the squabbles Of parties.
One decade Of such policy would make ne
second only to Great Britain on the high seas,
either for commerce or for defense; and two
decades OF it would bring N fairly into the
twentieth century = the master maritime power

The other day plain-looking young woman
wearing calfskin shoes, was seen by the igh
house keeper at Hickoryhurst wandering along
the shores of Lake Erie looking for place
deep enough to drown herself, says the Brad

low, and she could not do more than wet her
ankles. Finally she found spot by the side of
some big rocks where the water was three or
four feet deep, and the light house man, fearing
she might drown herself, came down.
"What are you doing there?" he asked.
"why, said the woman, I'm going to drown
myself"

"What business is that Of yours?'

By this time a large crowd Of people from the

around and listened to the conversation be-

sitting on q large rock several yards from shore
and the light house keeper sitting on
