A Tale of Two Barns.

There was a man named Hibbs who
bought farm, built large stately
dwelling at the end of long shady ave-
nue. Of naples and settled down to en-
Joy the comfort and independence of a
farmers life. He built a coy little
barn oflogs and shingled it with clap
boards. There was another man Of the
name Of Hubs, who bought farm in
the same neighborhood, built coy lit
tie dwelling of logs, shingled it with
clapboards and settled down to the
hard, grinding monotony of farmers
life. This man Hubs built a large
stately barn at the end of long shady
avenue of naples At the end of ten
years Hibbs big house had broken him
up, and Hubs big barn had enabled
him to buy Hibbs' stately dwelling for
about half price and move it over on his
own farm. Hubbs has a big dwelling
and big barn andrepresents his coun-
ty in the state legislature. Hibbs has
little log stable and is trying to sell
out to Hubbs. He wants to quit farm
ing and travel with peddling wagon.

The story OF Zero.

. The word zero is from the Spanish
and means empty, hence nothing. 1t
was first used for a thermometer in
1895 by a Prussian merchant named
Fahrenheit. From boy he was close
observer of nature, and when only ten
years old, in the remarkable cold win
ter of 1909, he experimental by putting
snow and salt together, and noticed
that it produced a degree of cold equal
to the coolest day of the year. And
that day being the coolest that the
Oldest inhabitant could remember Fab
renheit was the more struck with the
coincidence of his little scientific dis
covery, and hastily concluded that he
had found the lowest degree of temper
ature known in the world, either nat
ural or artificial. He called the degree
zero, and constructed a thermometer,
or rude weather glass, with scale
graduating up from zero to boiling
point, which he numbered two hundred
and twelve, and freezing point thirty
two, because, as he thought, mercury
contracted the thirty-second of its vol
ume on being cooled down from the
temperature of freezing water to zero,
and expanded the one hundred and
eightieth on being heated from the freez-
ing to the boiling point.-London Pub

They moved slowly along, side by
side, speaking only Of the beauty of the
spot and the glory of that summer day
which seemed to have completed its
perfection here. Perhaps from the
heat, the overpowering perfume or
some unsuspected sentiment, the young
lady became presently as silent and
preoccupied as her companion. She be,
gan to linger and loiter behind, hover

the part of the cemetery reserved for
those who had fallen in the war. The
long lines drawn with military pre-

and again up the opposite hill in an
odd semblance of hollow squares, ranks
and columns. A vague recollection OF
the fateful slope of Snake river came
over him. 1t was intensified as Miss
Sally, who was still preceding him, sud-
denly stopped before an isolated mound
bearing a broken marble shaft and a
pedestal with the inscription: Chester
Brooks" A few withered garlands
and immortelles were lying at its base,
but cncircling the broken shaft was a
perfectly fresh, unfaded wreath.
"You never told me he was buried
here?" said CORTLAND, quickly, half
shocked at the unexpected revelation.
"Was he from this state?'
