Tie Thrifty ESuuiinagx.

The Is luimauX, says missionary

in many respects superior to the
Northern Indian tribes. They are
not numerous. but their numbers do
not seem to bc diminishing. They
escape the terrible famincs that &C
ca>ionally carry off large numbers Of
Indians, partly becausa the FOOT sup

the moose and reindeer on which the
Indian depends. The ESquianauX
are also more pcorident, and they lay

Not That End.

That EOOr workman QuarrclS
with his tools has passed into a PROV
CRIB. 1t is not often that the lesson
OF the saying is 50 pointcdiy enforced
as it was in Il New York art school.
The gentleman at the head of this
school never failed to rchukc the ten
dency to lay the blame in the wrong
place whenever ii showed itself
among his pupils.
One of the students, who had con-
siderable talent hut very little appIi
cation, found frequent refuge in this
excuse. and IL" teacher was at last
at the end of his patience.
Il couldn't get the point of my
pencil right" the student said one
day, in excuse for a faulty line.
Mr.. Blank the teacher replied
with emphasis, you have been in this
school two years. You have the nat
ural ability to do the best work,
whereas YOU really do the worst. If
in two years you have not been able
TO discover thai the trouble is not at

!AutOGraph i'IcnG!s.

The most elementary form of the
strangers letter is, ofrcourse, the appiI-
cation for an autograph. This appl!ea-
ton ls now reduced to such q system
that it causes little Inconvenience and
should not be refused. There is usually
sent with the request a blank card on
which the name is to be written, with
an envelope stamped and addressed
for it's return. Nothing can be more
unobtrusive or mechanical, though the
line of propriety is at once passed. We
may say, where two cards are sent, the
second one being obviously for ex-
change purposes, or perhaps for sale.
The wary author never, | suspect,
writes on both cards. since he does not
aim to help out mere business trans
action. Where any applicant goes
further and asks an original letter or
copied passage the affair becomes more
serious, and some authors and public
men ignore such requests altogether, az
being much more serious consumers of

How IL Fish Sees.

The medium in which fresh-water
fishes live gives them a chance to soc
a great distance only in the horizon
tai direction, and the proper adjust
mcnt Of the eye would make, under
usual conditions, the optical axis take
this direction 70 me it seems i'm
possible to explain the constant revo-
luton the cycbal on any other
hypothesis except that given, viz:
That the optical axis extends forward
instead of s;dcwiSc.
When fish wishes to eat any
thing. either at the bottom of the
pond or at the surface Of the water,
it swins directly toward the object:
and in this case the eyes are Instant
~ adjusted in line with the body, SO
as to bring the image Of the particle
desired upon the postcrior portion Of
the retina. In this case they lose
their usu1l horizontal position.
If fish wishes to turn to the right
or left in the water. the first move
mcnt is that OF the eyes in unison
with the direction Of the turning.
This would be entirely unnecessary if
the apparent axis was the axis Of
most distinct vision, as one OF the
eyes would see all that was to be seen
in the side Of the turning. After
this movement Of the eyes, the body
turns enough to bring the eyes into
their normal positions: and there is
again a movement of the eyes, and
next a movement of the body. This
causes a peculiar jerking motion Of
the eyehall during the whole time Of
the turning Of the body.

What q Trunk Line" Is.

! The phrase "trunk line" is one under
stood by but few. TIE schoolboy IS idea
as gwen IL an essay, was "a line which
carries trunks" and the general public's
understanding of the phrase is about as
hazy. Robert B. McGregor, agent of
the Empire Line, was asked by a De-
troit Free Press man to define it, and
replied:
The term trunk line as originally
used was applied to all throu4 b lines
from New York to Chicago. The roads
in the Trunk Line Association are the
Grand Trunk, Lake Shore. Pennsylvania,
Baltimore, Central Railroad of New
Jersey, New York Central, Lake Erie u
Western, New York, Ontario x Western,
PHILADELPHIA q Reading and West
Shore. The term in it's general accept
ance is properly applied to any one Of
these roads, though several of them are
not through lines. but have through
connections instead. The term is now
applied TO nearly all the big Western
roads, such as the Atchison and Rock
Island. The term in itself means no.
thing, but is used to distinguish certain
roads and routes from others"

Caste Broken Down by stree. Cars.

Street cas- in Bombay are mostly of
American manufacture, and the pro-
meters of the street car lines are
Americans. When it was proposed,
rot many years ago, to start such
lines, Europeans propheslcd their
failure upon the ground that such
common public convcyanccS could not
lie profitable in a caste ruled com
munity. 1t was believed that the
high caste man, who will not cat or
drink from tie vessel used by low
caste man, would refuse II ride in a
public conveyance beside his humble
brother. In spite of these dolcful
prophe les the railways were built
and equipped, and 10. the high caste
man complacently pays his fare and
rides untroublcd by the side of any
sort Of man. The chCapncss and con-
venlencc Of the street cars were too
much for even the hard and fast rules
of caste.
