Good. But Not True.

A story is widely quoted that Phil
lips Brooks, when about to graduate,
went to the President OF Harvard
College for advice regarding the
choice Of profession, and that the
president said: 1T is well, in such a
case to lay aside impossible profes-
sions. Now, on account of the i'm.
pediment in your speech, you could
never preach"
This is so good a story that 1t is a
pity to spoil it, but the Christian
Union says that after the election OF
Mr.. Brooks as bishop he was asked
about its truth.
Il did consult with the president,
he answered, ~and he encouraged me
to choose the ministry; he did not
tell me 1 could not preach because OF
my stammering, because l never did
stammer, you know!"
Then he spoke, with some amuse-
ment, of the permanence OF such
groundless reports, and said that he
had that very week received letter
from an English boy who was a STAN
merer, and who begged to know, for
his own sake, how DR.. Brooks had
been cured.
Il shall have to tell him that ]
can't help him at all!' he concluded,
with a touch Of regret.

Roscoe Conkling once defended a
man who was on trial for arson Conk-

called upon Charles 0'Conor and said:
There is johnson. To be sure, he
was convicted, and the conviction was
affirmed. But had a great deal Of
trouble, and l only charged him six
hundred dollars, and his friends decline
to pay my bill. Don't you think the
charge Is reasonable and fair?"
Mr.. O'Conor turned in his chair and
said
well, Conkling, have no doubt that
you did the best you could. Six hun
bred dollars is not large bill. But I
have no doubt he could have been con-
victed for a great deal less money"

Sailors as Astronomers

Everyone who has been much at
sea knows something Of the peculiar
splendor of the heavens when beheld
from the deck Of a ship. Celestial
phenomena seem to possess an I'M
usual impresslveness when viewed
under such circumstances. The
clearness Of the air in fair weather,
and the fairness and distance of the
horizon tend to heighten this effect.
A similar impression is noticed upon
the broad, grassy plains Of Texas
Sea-captains sometimes bring into
port accounts of the seeing of comets
and meteors which have almost es-
capped notice on land.
On this account particular interest
attaches to the official request, eman-
ating from Washington, which was
addressed to the masters of all ves-
sells which might happen to be with
in the shadowy track Of the solar
eclipse on April 10, that they
should make and record careful OBJ
servations upon the phenomena vlsi-
BILE during the eclipse,
They were especially asked to no.
tice whether any changes occurred in
the clouds corresponding with chang
es Of temperature while the sun was
hidden behind the moon; the behav-
ior Of the barometer while the eclipse
lasted; the temperature of the air;
any peculiar appearance Of light, and
the position of any faint comet which
might be detected near the sun while
its light was shut off.
1t was a happy thought to enlist
the sea-captains in the service Of
science. While for obvious reasons
the solid land is best for accurate
observations, there seems good cause
to hope that hereafter large additions
to astronomical knowledge may be
made by the masters of vessels hap
pening to be in the path of eclipses.

reporter, advertising agent and prin-

adorned his lively four-page sheet
with caricatures rudely copied from
comic papers, and decorated his horse
and stock "ads" with rough cuts.
The paper appeared in purple ink
from a gelatine copying-press, or HEX
tograph, and Its editorials and local
news were usually so clearly presented
that the little journal was influential
in the territories, read with avidity
in the newspaper offices of Eastern
Canada and constantly quoted as an
authority. A newspaper by the same
process is the Mashonaland Herald

Sometimes the latest news arrives on

the most curious paper of all is that

ideas of Mr.. Rockefeller about the
university had expanded, as had those
of the people Of Chicago, and In Sep

another million in cash. In Febru-

dowed the university with an
other million In gold bonds, Such

THE ORANGE GROWERS, ANCHOR.

Mai Fairbanks annual address to the
stockholders of the Florida Fruit Elk
change, as usual, contains much that
should claim the attention of the orange
growers.
In the first place a strong plea is made
for concert Of action and cooperation
among the fruit growers, and there is
certainly nothing inconsistent with this
when we consider that the orange grow
ers have a common interest and are labor
ing for the same ends.
Mai. Fairbanks reciteS how, before the
organization of the Fruit Exchange the
growers of Florida were perpleXed to
know how to market profitably a crop
even as small as 600 900 boxes. At that time
the growers were entirely at the mercy
of the commission men and an orange
buver in Florida who would take the
fruit on the tree and pay for it was in
deed rara avis. They preferred rather
to let the grower ship the fruit and take
all the chances incident to transporter
ton, freezes, unstable markets, etc.
The growers had nothing else to do but
submit, and they did submit for years
