A Smart Youth.

One enterprising youth made the phe-
nomenal record of knocking down" SOS
a day while in charge of construction
train, which, it need hardly be said, is
never supposed to carry passengers.
Under the rigid rules of the average
auditing department it is doubtful
whether money turned in from such a
source would be accepted by the presid-
ing Solons.
But the carrying of passengers fell
under the eye of the construction de-
partment and dismissal followed. Dis
charged for this violation of rules, our
promising financier re-entered the SER
vice on another division of the road,
where his industry and patience were
rewarded in time with a passenger
train. 1t would appear that he stood
better in the confidence of his superiors
than in that of his fellow conductors,
the more cynical of whom expressed
doubts about the company's ever getting
the train back after he had left town
with it.-Frank II. Spearman in Har-
per's Weekly.

A Storm Wave.

A great storm wave is peculiar to cy-
clones. Attic center of the disturbance
the mercury in "a good barometer may
be lower by three inches than that in a
similar instrument on the verge of the
cyclone. This is owing to the diminution
of atmospheric pressure consequent on
the rotation of the air wheel; and as
nature abhors vacuum, the sea in the
vortex rises above its usual level until
equilibrium lis restored. This storm
wave advances with the hurricane, and
rolls in upon the low land like solid
wall. In tie Backergunge cyclone of
1876 the storm wave covered the land at
the eastern end of the Ganges delta at
heights varying from ten to forty-five
feet, as measured by marks on the trees.
One hundred thousand lives were lost on
this occasion.-Chambers' Journal.

Abstract Numbers.

1t is not easy for children to conceive
Of numbers apart from sensible objects.
For this reason our elementary books in
arithmetic present pictures of the articles
named. The child learns to add and
subtract simply by counting. Such a
practice has its place N instruction, but
is apt to be encouraged too far. The re-
suit is the ridiculous habit of counting
ones fingers in the work of arithmetic.
The Wallachian peas ant is said to per-
form all multiplications above four times
four by this method. 1t is evident from
the word which we Use for the several
figures, digit, that they originally repre-
sented so many fingers.
The circumstance affords reason for
the decimal system of counting. The
highest number that could be expressed
by show CT fingers was ten. We know
that an early system of counting was by
fives, or by the single hand. Perhaps
our duodecimal system of counting by
twelve, or the dozen, grew out of the
practice of counting the two hands to-
gether with the ten fingers.
The score, or twenty, was primitive
assemblage of fingers and toes. 1t came
into use at time when people went
barefoot. The French use this method
in forming their tens; four twenties is
French for eighty. The word "score"
came from the practice of notching
stick when one had counted to twenty.
In the Maya dialects of Central America
the word for twenty is the same as for
man. 1t represented his value in mathe-

Talleyrand has been dead fifty-two
years. The first volumes of the memoirs
he left are issued. He himself forbade
their publication until thirty years after
his death, and at that date his literary
executors found further postponement
necessary. He was thought to be the
depository OK more secrets than any other
man of his day, with greater power over
the regulations OF more men, living and
dead. Naturally these memoirs were
long awaited with singular MIXTURE Of
curiosity and alarm.
The career these memoirs portray was
and remains unparalleled in modern
Europe for length and variety Of dis
tinguished service. Beginning with Louis
XVI, from whom he received his first
appointment, and from whom he went
later with letter to the king of England,
Talleyrand served in all eight known
masters-besides a great number Of
others who were at one time or another
said to have him secretly in their pay.
He became president of the Constituent
assembly which organized the French
revolution. He was sent to London on
a secret mission with a passport from
Danton. He was minister Of foreign
affairs under the directory, under the
consulate under Louis XVIII and under
Louis Philippe.
In diplomatic skill and success contem-
porary public opinion held him the first
man of his period-that is to say, for half
a century the first man in Europe. AS
to real influence on affairs, it is doubt
full if any minister since can be said to
have exerted as much, with the excep-
tions only of Bismarck and Cavour. Even
they did not cover SO wide a range, or
deal with such bewildering variety of
negotiations, extending over so great a
time, and furthering the views of so
many masters. -Whitelaw Reid in Gen.
tury.

what One Boy Accomplished by Reading.
knew boy, scrap Of lad, who
almost needed high chair to bring him
up TO the general level Of the dining
table, who liked to read the encyclopedia.
He was always hunting round in the big
books of the encyclopedia-books abont
his own side-for what he wanted to
know. He dug in it as another boy
would dig in the woods for sassafras
root. 1t appeared that he was interested
in natural history and natural phe-
nomena. He asked questions O. these
books, exactly as he would ask living
authority, and kept at it till he got an
swers. He knew how to read. Soon
that boy was an authority on earth
quakes. He liked to have the converse
ton at table turn on earthquakes, for
then he seemed to be the tallest person
at the table. suppose there was no
earthquake anywhere Of any Importance
but that he could tell where it occurred
and what damage it did, how many
houses it buried, and how many people
it killed, and what shape it left the
country it had shaken
From that he went on to try to dis
cover what caused these disturbances,
and this led him into other investiga-
tons, and at last into the study of
electricity, practical as well as the
oretical. He examined machines and
invented machines, and kept on read
ing, and presently he was an expert in
electricity. He knew how to put in
wires and signals and bells, and to do
a number of practical and useful things,
and almost before he was able to enter
the high school he had great deal of
work to do i'll the city and three or four
men under him. These men under him
had not read as much about electricity
IS he had.-Charles Dudley Warner in
st. Nicholas.

Knots on Trees.

In the banks of our forest trees are
contained multitude of latent buds,
which are developed and grow under
certain favorable conditions. Some trees
possess this property in remarkable
degree, and often, when the other parts
are killed down by frost, the property of
pushing out these latent buds into
growth preserves the life of the plant.
These buds, having once begun to grow,
adhere to the woody layer at their base,
and push out their points through the
bark toward the light.
The buds then unfold and develop
leaves, which elaborate the sap carried
up the small shoot. Once elaborated, it
descends by the bark, when it reaches
the base or inner bark. Here it is ar
rested, so to speak, and deposited be-
tween the outside and inner layer of
bark, as can be learned on examining
specimens on the trees in the woods
almost nywhere.-Science Gossip.

All along the outer margin of the res
ervation were grouped the camps of en-
igrants; not many of them, but enough
to present a curious and picturesque
sight There were a few tents, but
most of the emigrants slept in or under
their wagons. There were no women
or children in these camps, and the
hardy men had been so we'll seasoned by
their past experiences, journeying to
this far western part of the territory that
they did not mind the exposure of sleep
ing on the ground and under the open
skies. Soldiers from the fort, off duty
and curious to hear the news from the
outer world, came lounging around the
camps and chatted with the emigrants
In that cool. superior manner that marks
the private soldier when he meets a civil
ian on an equal footing away from the
haunts of men.
The boys regarded these uniformed
military servants of the government of
the United States with great respect, and
even with some awe. These, they thought
to themselves, were the men who were
there to fight Indians, to protect the Dor
der, and to keep back the rising tide of
wild hostilities that might, if it were not
for them, sweep down upon the feeble
territory and even inundate the whole
western country.-Noah Brooks in st.
Nicholas.

Girl Queens OF Europe.

During the present century three girl
queens have, before the advent of Queen
Wilhelmina, almost simultaneously as
cended the throne of European ma
ton: Maria da Gloria of Portugal, Isa-
bella of Spain and Victoria Of En-
gland. The two first had the mis-
fortune of attaining to the regal power
while still mere children. There has
been wide difference between the his
tories Of the spoiled daughter of Spain
and the headstrong Portuguese damsel
and that of the grand and conscientious
maiden of IS who was called upon to
reign over Great Britain. BY her cloee
affiliations, through her sister, the Ouch
ess Of Albany, to the English court,
Queen Emma will probably profit by the
example set by the Duchess of Kent in
the education of her daughter. Cor.

A Wonderful Shoe Shaped Violin.

The Paris Figaro announces the sale
of one of the most curious violins known
to the music fanciers of the world. 1t is
now on exhibition in Paris, where the
American tourist can take a peep at it
for a few confines. 1t formerly be-
longed to Paganini, the great violinist,
and at first sight merely presents the
appearance of misshapen wooden shoe.
Its history is curious. During the win
ter of 1888 Paganini was living in a
maison de sante called Les Neothermes,
AZ Rue de la Victoria. One day a large
box was brought here by the Normandy
diligence, on opening which he found
inclosed two inner boxes, and, wrapped
carefully in several folds of tissue paper,
a wooden shoe and letter stating that
the writer, having heard much of the
wonderful genius of the violinist,
begged, as a proof of his devotion to
music, that Paganini would play in pub
lie on the oddly constructed instrument
inclosed.
AT first Paganini felt this to be an i'm
pertinent satire, and mentioned the
facts, with some show of temper, to his
friend, the Chevalier de Baride. The
latter took the shoe to violinmaker,
who converted it into a remarkably
sweet toned instrument. Paganini was
pressed to try the shoe violin in public.
He not only did so, but performed upon
it some of his most difficult fantasies,
which facts, in the handwriting of the
violinist, are now to be seen on the curl
Gus violin.

The waves that hurl themselves against
Lots Wife" one of the Mariana islands,
drench it to its topmost pinnacle, about
$50 feet above sea level. A tremendous
surf sometimes runs at Baker island, even
without any strong wind, or perhaps the
wind blowing from contrary direction.
An unbroken wall of water twenty-five
feet high and one-quarter Of mile long
rolls in, threatening to deluge the island,
and affording one of the grandest sights
imaginable. These waves are said to be
due to the southwest monsoon blowing
strongly in the China seas, many miles
away.-Chambers Journal.

Tattoo Marks IrremOvable.

1t has often been claimed that tattoo
marks may be removed by pricking over
them goats milk. This is mistaken
idea. Chemists and others have for years
experimental with various preparations
in the hope of discovering some agent to
wholly remove india ink marks from the
human skin. Nothing, however, has as
yet been found that will remove por-
ton even of the Objectionable marks, I'M
less, possibly, the attempt be made i'm
mediately following the tattooing proc
ess. AT Mount Washington University
hospital, Baltimore. an experiment was
some years ago made in the presence of
the writer upon the forearm of a noted
character of that city who died there.
Before his death the man granted per-
mission to the students Of the university
to experiment as they saw fit with his
dead body. One of these students, curl
Gus to learn everything possible connect
ed with the practice of tattooing, cut
from the dead mans arm strip of skin
upon which coat of arms appeared. Be-
meath the skin the design remained visi-
BILE. By degrees the flesh was removed,
the design in india ink still remaining in
sight until finally the bone was reached.
After a thorough sponging for the pur-
pose of removing the blood and pieces of
flesh remaining, it was found that the
representation still appeared. After cut
ting away small section Of the bone the
india ink mark was found to have not
penetrated beyond. Commercial

unfrequently the grocers have reason to
complain of unjust criticisms on the

In the golden glow Of the days that passed,

Makes me think of the past again.
