A Story About Seward.

William H. Seward used to tell some in
teresting stories of his advent into politics.
1t amused him greatly, he used to say, to
see the surprise depicted upon the faces Of
politicians who had heard of him, but had
never seen him before. He was so slight
of figure and so boyish looking that it
seemed impossible that he could be really
the brilliant William H. Seward of whom
they had heard so much. Mr.. Seward
used to say that the young man who was
feet 10 or taller, and of splendid ply
sique, had great deal better chance to
get along in politics than the little fell
lows, such as he was.
One day at the seashOre he was intro
duced to a famous politician as Mr.. Sew
ard.
Seward? You come from New York
stateY"
Eyes, that is my home"
"Well, have heard of a Seward there
who they say is going to make a great
name for himself, and the one that the
Wings ran for governor last year Do yor
happen to know him2 Perhaps he is rela
tive of yours"
"Oh, yes, know him, or suppose do.
ought to, for l am the Seward you re
fer to-"
"What. your Pardon me, but you are I
mere boy"
Nevertheless am the Seward who raj
for governor last year." replied Mr.. Sew
ard, laughing very heartily over the sur
prise expressed by this famous politician

Calamity Miller.

Talking of bad luck" said Julius
Chown at the Lindell, reminds me of a
man once knew in Iowa who could have
given Job himself pointers in the matter
Of misfortunes. We called him Calamity
Miller. He was prosperous merchant at
Comanche, had model wife and the hand
soonest daughter between the Mississippi
and the Big Muddy. Inez Miller was the
recognized beauty Of the state. Comanche
was visited by cyclone, and Miller's store
was torn to pieces and his goods scattered
to the four winds. His residence was
totally destroyed, and he was crippled for
life by falling chimney. Before the cy-
clone Miller was a moderately wealthy
man. In ten minutes he was pauper and
a cripple. Shortly after that he was struck
by lightning and partially paralyzed. His
wife and daughter went to stay with rela-
tives at Galesburg, Ills, and were drowned
by the capsizing of a boat. That winter
Miller froze to death Calamity Miller

for the toughest kind Of tough iuck."-St

A Coachman,s BIunder.

One day at Edinburgh Lord Rosebery
realized the disadvantage of owning swift
horses. His brougham had met him at
Waverly station to take him to Dalmeny.
Lord Rosebery opened the, door of the car
rage to put in some papers, and then
turned away. The coachman, too well
trained to look round, heard the door shut,
and, thinking that his master was inside,
set off at once. Pursuit was attempted,
but what was there in Edinburgh streets
could overtake those horses? The coach
man drove seven miles, until he reached a
point in the Dalmeny parks, where It was
his lordship's custom to alight and open a
gate Here the brougham stood for some
minutes awaiting Lord Rosebery's con-
venience
At last the cOachman became uneasy
and dismounted His brain reeled when
he saw an empty brougham. He could
have sworn to seeing his lordship enter.
There were his papers. What had hap
penedR With quaking hand the horses
were turned, and driving back the coach
man looked fearfully along the sides of
the road. He finally met Lord Rosebery
travelling in great good humor by the ON
nibus Francisco Argonaut.

Amazing Gastronomicai Powers.

L. Trouvelot tells us of the astonishing
yoracity of a species of caterpillar, poly
phemus. and some curious experiments
made by him in ascertaining the amount
of food consumed and its relation to the

ment. When the young was first Matched
II, weighed but one-twentieth of a grain;
when ten days old this weight had IN
creased to half a grain, or ten times the
original weight; at twenty days old tine
weight had increased to three full grains,
or sixty times its weight at the moment 1t
left the egg When the creature was
month old it weighed thirty-one grains, or
$50 times the amount of the first weighing,
and at the expiration of ten more days it
had again almost trebled in weight, show
ing full ninety grains of avoirdupois, or
1900 times the original weight. At the
ffty-sixth day the worm had attained its
full size and now weighed 207 grains, 4 lac
times the amount of the original onetwen.
tieth grain weight.
If mans adult weight was 1000 times
that of the average weight at birth his
twenty first birthday would find him car
rying around something like twenty tons
of surplus flesh. But this wonderful In

not more remarkable than the food con
Stunning powers of such creatures. WheI
the worm is thirty days old it has con
sumed about ninety grains of solid food
but before this time has doubled itself, o
at the end of fifty-six days, when the worn
is full grown, it has consumed not les
than thirty leaves, weighing three-fourth

An admirable observation regarding cul-
ture is given by Mr.. Mallock is these words
don't call a woman cultivated who
bothers me at dinner first with discussing
this book and then that-whose one per.
petual question is, Have you read So-and'
SOP But call a woman cultivated who
responds and who knows what mean as
we pass naturally from subject to subject
who by a fash or a softness in her eyes
by slight gesture of the hand, by sigh
by flush in the cheek, makes me feel as
talk of some lovely scene, that she, too
could love it-as / speak of love or sorrow,
makes me feel that she herself has known
them; as / speak of ambition or ennui OF
hope or remorse or loss Of character,
makes me feel that all these are not mere
names to her, but things.

A NOVEL ENTERTAINMENT.
Brooks and Robertson at Stokes Hall
Thursday Night.

Thursday Night.
Fred Emerson Brooks and ID. w. Rob-
ertson, who appear at Stokes Hall Thurs
day night under the auspices of the Young
Mems Christian Association, should be
greeted by large and representative au-
dienCe.
They gave 201 entertainments last sea-
son, including large number of assOcia-
t Ons, churches, chautauqua assemblies,
teachers institutes and similar OrganiZa-
tiOns.
Mr.. Brooks is an author and recites
only from his own works. Rev. John
Coyle, D. d., of San Francisco, says of
him: Seldom has nature put into the
same heart and brain the extreme Of wit
and wisdom, sense and nonsense, with
the same careful judgment in mingling to
bring forth laughter or tears. At times
he is as tender as COwper, as patriotic as
Whittier, as majestic as Bryant, as funny
as Mark Twain"
Mr.. Robertson elicits the most entranc-
ing music from ordinary glasses, contain.
ing different quantities Of water, fastened
to sounding board and so arranged as
10 form perfect chromatic scales. fhe
New York World says of him 'His solos
prove him to be great genius; never
did we think that such delightful music
could be produced from such a novel in
strument."
