Among the most unpleasant people one
is compelled to rub shoulders with on life's
highway are the class whose minds take
hold Of everything, as it were, the wrong
end foremost. They are usually as obsti
nate rs perverse, and the false differences
they draw from misapprehended premises
they adhere to with as much tenacity as IL
they were gospel truths. One knows not
how to deal with such incorrigibles Good
humored rallying they are as likely as not
to mistake for studied insult, kind words
for humbug, endeavors to instruct and
convince for airs of superiority, and what
ever one may do or say with view of ben
citing them they mistake for insidious
attempts to get on their blind side
Their field of moral vision is filled with
a mist of suspicion which distorts every
thing, and it is in vain to reason with
them, for you can no more do away with
their absurd impressions than you can
wipe out craven letters with sponge.
Error, we suppose, is to them what truth
is TO right headed men aud women, and
they cling to it because they believe in it.
They are objects of commiseration, vet
being unabatable nuisances. it is prudent
to give them a wide berth.
1t is really sad thing TO be predisposed
by nature to misconceIve and misconstrue,
but it is equally unpleasant to be mis-
understood and misconstrued We there
fore make it a rule to have as little as pos
sible TO do with inveterately wrongheaded
people.-New York Ledger

Take an ounce vial and FIJI it about three
quarters full Of water; make hole in the
cork and insert a small tube or a stout
piece Of straw. The opening must be as
small as possible: the tube must reach
nearly to the bottom of the vial, and the
cork must he pushed in tight; now, if you
blow into the tube the air will be com
pressed in the upper part of the bottle, and
when your lips are taken away little
fountain will play from the tube for few
moments | will now show you how the
fountain can be produced in a partial
vacuum without COMPRISING the air
Take glass jar with the mouth large
enough TO 90 over the small vial, and heat
the inside over the flame of lamp or can
die. Place the small vial on plate upon
several layers of blotting paper which have
been soaked in water for moment, then
take the heated jar and invert it over the
VIAL pressing it down as tightly as you
can upon the blotting paper, and watch
the result. When you heated the inside of
the jar the air inside was expanded and
partly driven out The blotting paper
makes hermetical joint, and the air con.
tanned in the upper part Of the vial forces
the water up through the tube to the bot
tom of the jar, and it falls in a little cas-
cade down the si3es.-Boston Herald

instead of having them come to her This
habit led one day to a rather amusing Incl
dent.
Little Tommy Page was being punished
by standing in the loor' while he got
his spelling lesson. Finding hard word
he raised his hand, and the teacher at once
came to his assistance. A moment later
this was repeated, and soon his calls for
the teacher became frequent.
But, by and by, Tommy's legs began to
get tired and he longed for seat A little
later he walked boldly up to the teachers
platform and calmly seated himself on its
edge
When asked by the surprised teacher
what his arrange conduct meant. he re-
piled:
well, seems to me you're walking too
much, and thought I'd get nearer.
don't want you to get all tired out, same
