History Corrected.

The last words of William Pitt are
reported to have been, 80 my country,
how love my countryv' But Lord
Rosebery, in his recent memoir of s'the
great commoner," quotes an anecdote
which Mr.. Disraeli used to tell that
proves that one man at least had
doubt about the authenticity of the ex'
clamation.
When Mr.. Disraeli entered Parlia-
ment, he used often to dine at the
House of Commons, where he was gen.
orally served by grim old waiter who
was supposed to possess secret treas
ure of political tradition.
The young member sought to win his
confidence. One day the venerable do
nestle relented.
"You hear many lies told as history,
SIR" ne said, 'do you know what Mr..
Pitts last words were?''
''Of course" said Mr.. Disraeli, "they
are well known: % my country! how
love my countryp"
Nonsense" said the old man. "Pll
tell you how it was. Late one night 1
was called out of bed by a messenger
in a postchaise, shouting to me outside
of the window.
"'What is it?' / said.
"'You're to get up and dress, and
bring some of your meat-pies down to
Mr.. Pitt at Putney.' ~
$50 went; and as we drove along
he told me that Mr.. Pitt had not been
able to take food, but had suddenly
said, 4 think could eat one Of Bel
lamy's mutton pies. And so syas
sent for post-haste. When we arrived
Mr.. Pitt was dead. Them was his last
words: Il think I could eat one OF
Bellamy's meat-pies.

Use Your Eyes


One of the best possible illustrations
of the great, and sometimes unex-
pected, value of careful observation of
small things is furnished by an English
naturalist's recent discovery that
nearly all writer's on the habits of bees
have Numbered in asserting that
honey-bee, when on foraging trip,
confines itself to one species of flower.
1t has been said that if bee begins,
for instance, gathering pollen from n
daisy it will visit only daisies during
that trip, avoiding clover blossoms,
honeysuckles, violets, and so on.
But Mr.. G.. w. Bulman announces
that he has watched bees changing
from one kind Of flower to another dur
ing single trip. One bee in particu-
lar, visited twenty-seven flowers be-
longing to ten different species.
If this is correct, the discovery has
an important bearing upon the theory
of the influence of bees in producing
cross fertilization of plants.
But how easy it would be for any
person, boy or girl who knows
flowers, for instance, to carry on such
observation for himself or herself,
thereby opening up not only new
source of intelligent recreation, which
would rapidly increase in interest, but
gathering facts which might make
reputation for the young discoverer,
and add materially to the stores of
science. Companion.

Not Used to 1t.

Abner Stone had lived "inland'' all
his days, and knew all there was to be
known about pork and beef as articles
of food. His acquaintance with the
products of the sea, on the other hand,
was very slight; in fact it was confined
to one lobster, which his Younger
brother Wilson had brought up to the
farm from Bayport one summer, when
he came up for short visit.
Abner had enjoyed that lobster ar,az-
ingly, and 1t was in some measure his
praise of this fish that led Wilson to
press his brother to ''make him call"
the next autumn or spring, and "eat
his fill' of fish. "There's heaps o
things better'n lobsters," Wilson aver
red. "There's shad, now; I reckon
you'd find shad would relish pooty
fair"
eyes, indeed, he'd orter eat some of
our shad," chimed in Mrs. Wilson
Stone; and the next spring, with
thoughts of shad in his mind, Abner
went down to Bayport.
He had tiresome journey, for he
was not used to travelling, and when he
reached Bayport, at night, he was more
than ready for bed.
you're goin' e have some shad in
the mornin'," remarked Mrs. Wilson
Stone, as she babe him good night.
The promise was kept, but somehow
Abner did not seem to enjoy the deli
cacy as his brother had expected. In
fact he ate so little of it that Wilson

Under a River.


M. Suinnard, who passed three years
IN captivity in Patagonia, survived
many perilous adventures Probably
some of our western readers will feel
something like contempt for n traveller
who would act so thoughtlessly as did
this Frenchman on one occasion. He
and his companion, Pedritto, had been
marching for five days on the borders
of Patagonia. Most of that time they
had no fire and little food, and the rain
had fallen in torrents. In the evening
they came to a river which lay between
steep, rocky banks.
They descended the bank with great
difficulty, but when they had found a
place to cross they were SO exhausted
that they concluded to remain where
they were until morning. With knives
they dug cave in the bank just above
the waters edge. They built fire,
and prepared to pass comfortable
night in their cave, protected from
cold and dampness.
But they had forgotten how the
rains of the past few days must swell
such stream. They had just fallen
asleep when torrent rushed in upon
them, and Suinnard realized that the
river had risen above their cave, which
In another moment would become
their tomb. He reused Pedritto. They
seized their firearms, and through the
darkness and the rushing waters be-
gan to struggle up the bank.
The ascent was so steep that they had
to cut steps with their knives, and the
earth, soaked with water, threatened
at every movement they made to give
way, and carry them with it back into
the stream.
At last they reached the top of the
bank. They had lost part of their pow
der and provisions, and their compass,
but they were safe and had saved their
firearms. After waiting day for the
waters to abate they swan across,
holding their guns in one hand over
their heads.

the best temporary residence for the
animal.
At last he fixed on the garden,
and leading the horse thither, placed
him on the gravel walk. When Miss

Surprlsed Pig.


Little Pete never intends to misstate
things, but his very figurative imagina-
ton sometimes gets the better of his
facts. He starts out to tell something
which is perfectly true, but before he
is done he has generally drifted off into
some picturesque exaggeration. The
other day he exclaimed to a COM
panion:
"Just think, Billy! Out in Chicago
they aren't going to be cruel to the
pigs any more when they kill them.
They're going to chloroform them
''How do they do it?' asked Billy.
"Why, they just put sponge in
front Of the pigs nose, and he goes
right to sleep, and when no
comes to himself he says, why, my
hams gomez And by and by he says,
Goodness! Somebody's sawed my leg
Off and then he finds out that he's all
cut up!'
