Vain RepetitionS,

A girl who was accustomed to con-
clude all her stories with the words:
Wasn't it funny?" was telling her
mother of the sorrow which had come
to school friend.
just think" she began, Il asked
Annie Platt this morning if she knew
why Mary Wallis, that pretty girl from
Iowa, wore black; and she said that
Mary was out in a sailboat with her
mother and two brothers last summer,
and squall came up, and the boat
capsized, and they were all drowned
except Mary. Wasn't it funny??"
81 shouldn't consider it subject for
mirth,'' said her mother, dryly AMI
then the girl, who was really full OF
sympathy for her new friend, realized
what she had said.
Anton Rubinstein, the Russian COM
poser, in his autobiography tells OF the
confusion which overcame a certain
architect of his acquaintance, who had
a habit of interlarding all his remarks
with the phrase: You understand.
On one occasion he was explaining
certain architectural matters to the en-
peror, and according to custom, made
free use of his favorite expression.
Good heavensr' exclaimed Emperor
Nicholas at last, irritably, 'of course

Supersensitiveness

A person who has not done anything
to distinguish himself is generally not
allowed queer habits. Eccentricity is
not for common people But for Wash
ington Allston, one of Americas most
noted painters, all things were right.
His excessive sensitiveness was shown
in many ways When india rubber
overshoes began to be worn, he was in
duced to purchase pair for his health 81
sake, but he could never put them on
or remove them except with pair OF
tonps. But that same delicate sensl-
tiveness showed itself in another way.
His scrupulous' conscience was illus
trated bv an incident occurring in 1916,
when he was in urgent need OF money.
He had Just found a purchaser for one
of his pictures, but thinking the matter
over alone in the evening, he concluded
that the subject of the painting was
such that at some time it might have
an immoral effect on some perverted
IMAGINATION. He Immediately went to
his patrou's house, paid back the money,
took the picture home and burnt It,
This was sensitiveness worth having

There is che point OF view fro IN which
the formation of new lake in south
ern California by the overhowing OF
sandy desert with water from the Colo
RADIO river possesses peculiar interest.
1t may throw light upon some OF the
mysterious changes that have occurred
upon the planet Mars. Near the equa-
tor of Mars there is a region which has
been believed to be part of the dry land
of that planet, and which has been
named Lydia by the Italian astronomer
Schiapperelli. But few years ago
change occurred in the color of "Ly hla, !"
and some of the observers thought that
it must have been suddenly overaowed
with water, since it had assumed the
color characteristic of the other regions
of Mars that are supposed to be water
covered. Other similar changes have
been seen by telescopists on Mars, Now
that a new lake has actually been
formed on the earth by the unexpected
filling up with water of depressed
area of dry land those who believe that
| a similar occurrence, on larger scale,
has taken place on Mars will probably
be strengthened in that interesting
opinion. Youths Companion.

Madam had slept not in her couch,
nor could Celeste find her anywhere,
though she search, she search every
where"
Then Henry recollected all at once
that he had rather neglected his mother
lately. Mrs. Henry forgot her 'cul-
tured' calmness and joined in the search,
weeping bitterly. Jane came running
in with reproaches for herself and all
the others. Joe left his desk for once
and set telegraph wires to work, and
confusion and grief reigned supreme,
while the sons and daughters found
their minds running back to childhood
and "mother," as they had not done for
wears, and l think they learned over
again, and far more perfectly, the
lesson of filial love.
Hours passed, and no news came OF
the missing, and fears grew graver and
stronger, till at last Henry, walking
the floor in anxiety, exclaimed sudden
ly. as the idea strucx him: She's gone
home." and running to drawer in his
desk, where keys of every size and
form lay punched and singly, he turned
them hastily over.
Yes, the key is gone and she has
| wandered back home. I'm sure of 1t.
Why we did not think of it before,
| cannot think. Oh, mother! you never
wanted to leave it, the dear, dear ole
house where we were born, and which
| sheltered us all so faithfully. And we
dragged you from it, selfish dolts!'
Too impatient to wait for trains no'
due for hours they set off across the
country in carriages. AS they drew
near the old house they found news o
the lost one. She had passed only ar
hour before plodding wearily along
the familiar road, SO with lightene6
hearts they went on.
Leaving carriage and horse at th'
village, they followed the rest OF th'
way on foot When they came to tn

a STRAIGHT ANGLE.
One of the Things Which Were Not Mem
toned in OId-Time School Books.

One of the Things Which Were Not Mem
toned in OId-Time School Books.
Ask the first ten people you meet
what is a straight angle" and see how
many of them do not show up that
hopeless look which implies belief
that there is joke but an admission
that they can't see it. Educated men
and women, even boys but lately out OF
the high school. will admit that a
straight angle is something they never
heard of. Webster, a dictionary OF
some standing even in court, defines an
angle as a bend or corner, the meetin 6
of two lines that run in different direc-
tions But now comes modern educa-
ton, the great selling agency for text
books, and it proclaims that straight
angle not only is, but it is an important
factor in geometry.
There is no difference between a
straight angle and straight line-not
bit. The line A, B, is the angle A,
B. C. An angle is straight line, a
| s'bend" has no bend to it, and corner
is as open as all outdoors. But modern
education finds in the theoretical angle
of 1SO degrees something to puzzle the
children, and SO we have new geom
etrv, a reconstruction on the customary
basis of doing things differently from
| the old way.
One would think that education had
been a failure; that men and women
who had been reckoned educated anc
intelligent had owed that reputation tt
the ignorance of those about them, ano
that nothingwo studying forty year,
ago is worth teaching to-day. The
parent of to-day who would accompany
| a child in it's studies finds he must him
self undertake course of study. Arith
metic has changed, grammar has gone
and everything elss is different Georn
etry with it's straight angles is only al
| incident and an illustration.
All this makes you reflect what tool
those people were who were educate
twenty-five to forty years ago; not fool
in the sense of knowing nothing, bu
fools because they neglected the chang
to strike out in the lines that others di
not know and to write school book
that others could not understand, whtci

A Case of Conscience.

A New YORK Sunday-school teacher
made an unsuccessful attempt to assist a
little boy to comprehend what con-
science was. He asked:
"If you have been diligent in your
lessons and perform all your duties
faithfully, you sleep we'll. don't you?"
The little boy shook his head.
Let US suppose that you havo also
been obedient to your parents, don't
you experience feeling of quietness
when you retire to your couch?"
No"

BENTON, La, THURSDAY, JANUARY IA, 1892.

Potomac rolled IL. oloody waters And
here beside the center table, on which
lay the well thumbed family Bible, she
had knelt and prayed for twenty years
with John, prayed " ith her little ones
in fearful grief when he was gone,
prayed for them when they slipped
from her arms out into the world and
where she still nightly bent her stiff,
old knees to pray for them and theirs.
Grandma only loved the old house
better as the years rolled by, but when
old Phoebe, who had been half servant,
half companion to the old lady, died, it
was decided in family council that she
must really make up her mind to live
with one or the other of them, and it
was out of all question her remaining
in that gloomy old house all alone.
So one sad day, overpowered by the
sons and daughters, who meant to be
kind, grandma went softly to and fro
over the old house, taking leave of it
all, and the last Of the farewells was
the visit paid to the two m oun Is under
the oak, where John slept and the first
born little son. Then, with feeling
that the world had come to an end,
grandma drove away to the hne big
residence-they don't cali them homes

who, for all her kindness, rather over
powered grandma with her fine ways,
had given her a stately room, and,
what was most dreadful, maid! A
maid that called her Madam" and for
Eyes" said Quiz
Yes, they meant to be kind to her,
but the gray stone pile and the maid
gave the old lady the feeling that she
was in an asylum and had keeper,
and, in spite of all her grandeur, grand
mas wrinkled cheeks lost their soft
pink, like that Of half-withered rose,
and she grew feeble and worn, though
every one was so busy that it passed
unnoticed. She was pining for the ole
home, though she felt 1t would be TN
grateful to say so, and somehow tt

she sat in velvet-cushioned pew, die

AS was lingering before the monkey
cage in the Dresden geological garden
slight tickling in the throat, a chronic
trouble with me, induced rne to take
out Of my pocket box of bronchial
troches and to put one of them in my
mouth. Instantly large monkey, Of
manifestly aspiring nature, thrust out
his hairy arm and palm with be-
seeding look that l would give him
one. Why should he, too, not be al
lowed to enlarge his terrestrial expert
ence and share the joys of the superior
being before him? So l gave him the
troche Scarcely did the bitter taste
strike him than he snatched it out
with his fingers and began rubbing it
violently on the hair of his arm, as if to
rub off the bad taste. Seeing, how
ever, that the superior being continued
to suck his troche serenely, he soon
put his own back in his chops, to give
it fuller trial. 1t proved too much
for him to stand very long, and so he
pulled it out second time and began
rubbing it on the sandy floor of the
cage. Over and over the process was
repeated; but each time, as his rever-
ential eye fell on the superior being
outside still peacefully sucking his
troche, a reflective expression came over
his face, which as much as said: Sure
ly, if that manifest god out there en-
joys this nasty thing there must be
some desirable quality in it that am
not developed enough to appreciate. >
So, patiently, the aspiring simian went
on until he had dissolved the last par
ticle of his troche. Boston Herald.
