CORRESPONDING MEMBERS.
The council reported favorably on an amend
ment providing for foreign associates" only
it struck out the words "foreign associates
and substituted the term corresponding men,
bers." The amendment provides for fifty such
members, to be designated by the council from
scientists not residing in America. In the dis
cussion Prof: Norton proposed to insert the
word North" before America, but withdrew
his proposition on a statement by Prot Put
nam that this was the American association
and included all America in its scope.
Prof. Z. d. Cope said he was opposed to the
amendment. as this was working association.
Corresponding membership in it, he thought,
would confer no especial honor. 1t was in his
opinion an absurdity.
DR.. George +. Barker Of Philadelphia spoke
earnestly for the amendment He said he
knew that the members Of the association who
were corresponding members of the British
association appreciated the honor very highly,
and he believed that such membership in this
association would be similarly appreciated.
After some discussion the proposed amend
ment ss reported by the council was adopted.
Prof. Wiley also read an invitation from the
Southern Interstate immigration Bureau to at
tend the southern exposition at Raleigh, N. c.,
in October.

Allin the Family.

There is one family in the English no.
bility which 'goes in" strongly for
literature. if Edward w. Box correctly
represents it. That is the family of the
Earl of Aberdeen. About two years
ago, the Countess, his wife, started al
association for the uplifting of the En-.
glish working girls, and, to spread hel
monthly magazine. She called it On.
ward and Upward, and of it she has
already made financial success. The
titled editor writes more than $4,000
words in her magazine each month, and
writes we'll. Her zeal stimulated the
interest of her husband, and now the
Earl of Aberdeenis sub-editor and pub
Usher of the magazine, taking charge of
all the copy" of each number and deal
ing with the printers and paper men.
Then the little 9-year-old daughter
of the Aberdeen household became in
terested in her mothers editorial work,
and, to satisfy her ambition, Lord Aber-
deem started a separate little periodical
for his daughter. This is known as Wee
Willie Winkie, named not for Kipling's
story, but for Miller's famous ballad.
This little sixteen-page magazine for
children now comes out promptly each
month, ''under the editorship of Lady
Marjorie Gordon, aged g." and a more
cleVerly made-up paper one can scarce
iy imagine. Lady Aberdeen only casu-
ally assists her daughter in her role as
editor.

No Two Alike.

To sailor every vessel is an individ-
ual ship, says Maine newspaper No
two vessels, not even of the same class,
are alike to him. The man who keeps
a lookout in the Portland observatory
can recognize over 100 different vessels
that belong to that port the minute he
sees them 20 miles away through bis
telescope. He says there are no two
vessels that ever were alike in shape OF
rig.
"You see the back of friend on the
street some distance away and you
know him by the cut of his jib," he
says. This is almost literally true in
the case Of vessels.
An old sailor sees the difference with
out always being able to explain just
where it lies. Just as soon as the man
in the observatory recognizes vessel
he telephones down to the owners that
their vessel is in sight and will be at the
dock at such time. Long experience
has enabled nim to estimate it to within
five minute, at least.
Quite as remarkable is the fact that
the Western Union Observer at Fire
Island can identify any one of the in
coming ocean steamers as soon as he
can get glimpse at the spars and top
masts. He has never been puzzled but
once, and then because a steamer had
changed part of her upper rigging on
the outward trip.

He Caught On

Much the best "Reminiscences of Meis-
sonier is that narrated by the Paris cor
respondent of the Boston Globe. AS it
runs, Meissonier has become celebrated
and was beginning to make money when
he got acquainted with Partisan gran
dee, very wealthy, very fond of posing
as an art patron, but very penurious.
One day, Meissonier, breakfasting
with the grandee, was struck by the
beauty of the texture of the tablecloth.
Zone could draw upon it," he re-
marked; and, sulting the action to the
word, he produced a pencil and made
the snowy. smooth nap wonderful
ly able sketch of mans head. The
economical swell had the head carefully
cut out of the damask, and fastened to
frame and glaze his prize.
"a few weeks afterward MISSIONER
again breakfasted with his patron, and
found by the side of his plate at the
corner of the table assigned to him a
neat little sheaf of crayons and holders,
with penknife and some india rubber
While the guests at the conclusion of
the repast were enjoying their coffee
and cigarettes, the host saw with delight
from the corner of his eye that Meis-
sonier was hard at work on the table
cloth-this time with superb little full
length of medieval halberdier.
The party broke mp, the guests de-
parted, and the economic swell"
rushed back to the salLe-a-manger to
secure his treasure; but, alas the
painter had for once shown himself as
economical as his patron. He had
made disastrously good use of the pen
knife, and one corner of the tablecioth
was gone, halberdier and all.

SAMUEL TILDEN.

Samuel Tilden was the ablest lawyer
of his age. His services in great law
suits were SO well recognized that it
was made matter of reproach against
him when he ran for the Presidency );
but when he came to draw up his own
will he could not frame it SO that it
would stand the fire of the courts. He
wished to leave great library to the
city of New York, but his will has Just
been declared broken and his estate
will be divided among his legal heirs.
This shows that even great men make
mistakes when it comes to attending to
their own affairs. How many men take
cold and neglect it until it is too late
and then suffer all the rest of their lives
and spend fortune in vain effort to
recover that which they lost? REID

The most interesting of the islands In
the loch is by no means the biggest, but
it differs entirely from the other in its
vegetation. There is, says London Queen,
romantic legend in connection with
this island. In olden times Norwegian
prince and princess lived there happily.
In time of trouble the prince went forth
to war, leaving his island to be guarded
bv his wife. 1t was agreed that when he
was in sight of home on his return
white flag should be hoisted if all was
we'll; if not, black one. Time passed,
and the princess became jealous Of his
long absence. When his boat at last ap-
peared in the loch, a black flag
was hoisted. and when he landed
he found his wife lying, as if
dead, on bier, she having
feigned death to prove his love. Heart
broken at the sight, he unsheathed his
dagger and plunged it into his breast.
Horrifed at the sight, she grasped the
dagger from his breast and took her
own life. They were buried in this
romantic spot, foot to foot, with the hilt
of dagger engraved on their tomb
stone. Since then the land owners Of
the neighborkood have had the right
to bury on the island, and some of the
graves are of curious unhewn stone.
This island burial is quite common in
Scotland. 1t is a delightful idea that
the dead should rest in peace, sur
rounded by beautiful scenery, and far
enough from human habitatiOn to do no
harm to the living. On the same island
is wishing tree. It has been nearly
killed by Kindness, poor thing. To ac-
complish the wish it is necessary to
knock into the bark of it some kind of
coin. The result is that pence and small
silver coins can be seen sticking in the
bark like pins in a cushion. The very
poor put in nails and pins. There is a
saying that fools put in the coins for the
wise men to take them out. Certainly
no gold was visible, although the
Queen set the gold fashion by herself de-
posting a sovereign in the gnarled old
tree when she stayed at Loeb Maree a
few years ago.

Got the Wrong Man.

Somebody's husband was the victim
of an unjust roasting on the West Side
Sunday night and somebody else's hus-
reached home. 1t was on Niagara
Street and man was quietly walking
home when a woman grabbed his arm
and angrily cried ''Now you've fooled me
enough and [ want you to go with me"
The startled citizen turned and as he
said, Madam, you must be mistaken"
the woman recognized that it was not
the voice of her hubby, and without
waiting to explain, she started up the
street on dead run, more angry than
before

Charles XII. of Sweden was famous
as a jumper. This ruler. whose wonder

constituted him every inch king. had
a knack of leaping unframed to the

also very swift runner, and at fencing,

parently intractable horses he had
hardly an equal in his kingdom.

Effective Adyert1sinp.

Many farmers and people living in
small towns make a speciality of fine
stock, such as pigs, chickens, pigeons and
the like. These could use the lists of the
Chicago Newspaper Union to advantage.
Write the advertisement plainly. stating
the exact facts in plain language, and send
it to the office of the Union in Chicago,
and we will give you rates. AS an exam
pie of this sort of advertising, we
would refer our readers to the work that
ing in these lists in bringing to the notice
of the public the merits of Reds German
Cough and Kidney Cure. These ads are
written up fresh each week. They deal
with all the popular topics of the day in an
original, breezy. and striking way, so that
themselves. In this way they cover the
whole ground, and prove that people not
only read advertising, but when it is prop
erly written they like to read it.
