A big tramp made big mistake the
other day at Wiscasset, says Maine
exchange. He entered . school house
there whore little miss Of the genuine
Yankee stamp presided. There was a
moment Of alarm. for the school house
was upon . bleak hillside far from
nsiGhbors. The tramp approached the
teachers desk, evidently liking the
looks OF her watch. The spunky little
sohoolms'am came ut him like her-
net and busxed around him with her
whip dealing viciously singing strokes
with the weapon. The tramp made a
few vain efforts to advance or to catch
his nimble antagonist; then, blinded
and maddened by the flying whip he
turned and streakcd it out Of doors and
down the hill He stood afar of and
shouted ugly epithets ut his vanquisher.
but kept away from the whip.

Hunting Guinea E6ys,

To find Guinea nest was the very
poetry OF egg-hunting. The creatures
are half wild, and feed far afield.
The bush pasture was their chosen
haunt and had such store OF hidden
hooks, such clumps Of brake and brier,
such steep grassy banks. such tangle
of sedge and dew-berry and plumb
thicket that We would never have
found an egg but from the birds queer
habit. When the hen goes to the nest,
her mate stands guard over her on the
nearest bare spot; and fills the air
with his harsh buzzing cry.
Following the sound, we came upon
the pair. Madame chooses her home
daintily, and deeply hollows the clean,
dry earth OF IL. Flowers often nod

shelter Of some sort for the maker
knows instinctively that sunshine will
addle her precious eggs. Her small
cousin, tho partridge, so admires her
taste that sometimes she decides to
share the nest Sometimes, too, a hen
Of independent mind comes a-grass-
hoppering into the bush pasture, and
puts her eggs into such shelter. Very
often We found forty eggs to the nest.
And when We took them out il was

Scientists have long sought for q

have been seriously called in question.
Therefore, the so-called wave

~ furnishing an invariable numerical
magnitude. but their excessive minute
ness and the difficulty OF accurately
measuring them have hitherto been an
objection to their use. But IL is said
that q method Of measuring these
wave-lengths which is accurate to the
one-ten- millionth part has been dis
covered. When II Is considered that

to Free Press reporter that was
riding on horseback across the noun

ton In company with the Rev. Mr..
Perkins, an Episcopal minister. There
were very few Episcopal churches in
those days and Mr.. Perkins preached
at regular intervals In Charleston, al
though he had church In Parkers-
burg. As We rode along / hummed
the air OF the Lament Of the Irish
Emigrant a song that was very popu.

very much excited He turned around

Let mo sing IL for you, know il

and sung until the words echoed with
the air. He had sweet, rich, power.

ing. In the pathetic parts 1t brought
tears to my eyes, espeo3ly when he
came TO the verse:

he turned to me and said:
