She was beautiful. The professor was poor,

care what you do, but do 1t. Then we'll see
about the girl. If she really thinks she
can't get along without you, she won't
mind waiting couple of years. If she
won't wait, you won't want her"
The young man filed the usual dcmur-
Ter, but was overruled. Then he went
forth. He had no idea what to do and sat
down to think Finally he started at
something and picked up So week and
$50 worth OF self respect while earning the

Egyptian Cat superstitions..

The inhabitants of ancient Egypt are
believed to have boon the first people to at
tempt to domesticato tho wild species of
fclinB now represented by the common
house cat. This belief is based upon tho
fact that sculptured representations Of
such animals are found upon their monu-
monts of the year a0c0 3. c., more than
1900 years before they appear on European
monuments An Egyptian tomb of the
year 1900 B. G. is the first to show q
sculptured representation of the cat as a
domcsticatcd animal, those Of tho greater
ago first mentioned probably representing
the creature in its wild state. In tho ra-
lief sketch of the date last mentioned, 1900
B. c., it IS Enthusiastically pot, being
shown as seated beneath a chair The

pie puss was regarded as an emblem of the
sun, it's eyes being supposed to vary in
color and in the size of their pupils with

HAD HIS REVENGE.
How Westinghouse Neatly Turned the
Tables on Comm odore Vanderbilt.

How Westinghouse Neatly Turned the
Tables on Commodore Vanderbilt.
When Westinghouse first obtained his
patent ON the airbrakc, like most invent
ors he was poor and friendless, and he
found considerable difficulty in Inducing
the railroads to apply it to their cars. He
managed to secure an introduction to
Commodore Vanderbilt who was never
noted for his gentle manners. Westing-
house found him engrossed in his corre-
spondence, and he did not deign to stop
reading his letters while the inventor ex-
tollcd the merits of his device. When he
had spoken his little piece, Vanderbilt for
the first time seemed to take notice of him,
and looking up suddenly said in his gruff-
est tones:
Whats that you say?"
So Westinghouse commenced all over
and explained how by all air pressure Of
30 pounds to the square foot the brake
was applied by the engineer, and when he
finished he waited patiently for the YER
dict.
Once more the old commodore raised his
head long enough to jerk out:
Whats that you say about air2"
Westinghouse told him. Sc
AOOkluB I'LL SVctiuAiy III Uuo ldCcs oio Oiu
man replied in freezing tones: THAT will
do. have no time to waste with id
fool"
Discouraged, ont not disheartened, West
inghouse left, only later to bring his great
invention to the knowledge of the Penn
sylvania railroad authorities At that
time Tom Scott was tho president of the
corporation, and no at once cav the prac-
ticability of the invention aud allowed
some of his cars to be equipped with It,
With that opening it was easy enough to
get other roads to use the brake, and West
inghouse's fame and fortune were made.
When that tiine had arrived, he one day
received letter from Commodore Wander
bilt, asking him to call at tho Central 8
office Mr.. Westinghouse's reply was tersc
and to the point. He simply wrote:
II have no time to waste with id
fool. IA. Maurice Low in Boston Globe.

BALLOON VOYAGES.
One of the Most Adventurous on Record
Taken by Soldier.

One of the Most Adventurous on Record
Taken by a Soldier.
One of the most adventurous balloon
voyages taken during the Franco German
war was that of NJ Martin, O naval off
Ger from Finisterre.
NJ. Martin started from Paris on the LIST
of December in a balloon which had been
christoncd The Jules Favre. He rose ut
once above the snowclouds into stratum
Of bitter cold air, along which 10 was
borne with great speed in westerly d.
rection. He felt like man who had been
buried alive in vast, dark, chilling vault,
beyond the reach Of human sympathy or
aid. Presently the stars were obscured by
snowclouds, and it was also found that
the instruments used by acronauts for
taking their bearings had got out of Or
der. At o'clock in the morning M.
Martin and his companion perceived wa
ter below them, which at first they sup
posed to be the Loire, but shortly after
ward, seeing a lighthouse and ships, they
found they were in tho ncighborhood of
the sea. They were above lie isle and
close to the western side of it, so that it
was necessary to descend at once if they
would not be swept away over the Allan
tic
The pulley which opened the escape
valve had been blown out of reach by the
fury Of their rushing passage through the
air, but NJ Martin climbed up tho ropes,
regaincd the pulley and released the gas.
They now descended with such rapidity
as to lose consciousness. The balloon on
nearing the earth dashed madly about,
tore of the roof Of house, broke down a
wall and came into collision with an old
church. M. Martins companion was
thrown out and seriously hurt and M.
Martin himself, OH recovering his senses,
found that some coast guardsmen were
holding down tho car.
Among the persons soon attracted to
the spot was M. Armand Trochu, brother
of the governor of Paris. This gentleman
had little property OH Belle isle, where
he lived with his mother, then in her
eighty fourth year. By strange coinci-
dence it was the roof of M. Armand Tro-
chu's house which the Jules Favre tore
off in it's wild writings. The old lady
had been praying throughout the night
for sign from heaven that France should
be saved by her son, and when the rafters
crashed over her head she exclaimed to
her granddaughter that tho sign had been
given, and that 1.-THE Providence of the
king of Prussia" was not always to pro-
vail

MAN AND NATURE.

The mountains, and the forests, and the seas
Oldest Of mourners, with pathetic tone,
Have each a natural music, all their own.
Set in accord with human destinies,
Sad, tender, manifold. What is more sweet
Than woodland melodies ut noon? More mild
Than dimpled ocean, like laughing child
That Iisps and rolls jewel to our feet,
Breathlessly calm? And then, within an hour,
Behold that selfsame ocean on the shore
Lashes the forest quakes; with deafening
power
The rocks are rent. Them oh! amid that roar,
Awestruck we sink, we fall upon our Knees,
Ye mountains, and ye forests, and ye seas!
The mountains, and the forests, and the seas
Have each their music, with our mortal lot
In sympathy, to soothe, exalt, appease.
And man, too, has his music, has note
OF worldwide Sweetness, tender reveries,
Dirces of buried blisses unforgot,
Rejoicing pseans, glorious symphonies.
But ell of them lack something-thcy hev;
not
Tho voice once heard in Eden. And the ear
Pleased with rich sound, is as when som,
one sings
In o great court before a king Of kings.
He closes, and Of rapture born cheer
Shakes the high roof, but when the Lord o.
all
. Speaks there is awe and silence in the hall

SPRINeFIELD. Mass, Nov. 23.-Tomor.
row afternoon, on historical Hampden
park, the elevens OF the Yale and Har-
ward colleges will compete in their an
nual football contest. The young
athletes OF both colleges have never
trained harder than for this great event.
The changes in the rules, requiring q
more open game, have been the means OF
equalizing the strength OF football teams
all over the country, and has made the
probable result of this contest more
problematic than ever. Each team
has its partisans, but Yale by reason OF
the prestige gained by her sturdy kick
ere in the past 70 years. in which time
Harvard has only won one game, is a
favorite in the betting at about 2 to l.
Harvard was never more confident.
She has the best eleven that has won
the crimson in years, and Yale's defeat
last year by Princeton has shown that
the representatives OF "Old Ell" are not
invincble. Consequently Harvard will
have her friends, and more OF them than
ever.
1t will be a battle royal and will DO
siasts. Gray. haired, sedate graduates
will vie with shock headed and exubei-
ant undergraduates in shouting the col.
lege slogans. and the fair friends OF the
athletes will lend beauty and enthusi.
asm to the spectacle Ne they only can.
As Q spectacle it will be q grand one
% Q contest it will be remarkable.
The predictions for tomorrow are fine
and warm and Springfield refuses to be.
lieve that the good weather Of former
years Is not to be duplicated. The
trains tonight began to bring in the first
delegation OF enthusiasts, and with the
arrival OF night the usual enthusiasm
began to show itself. The city is in
gala attire, the shop windows and fronts
of buildings being decorated.
The Yale team, with its coaohers and
Q few heelers, arrived at 2 :45 o. m. ON
special train. The ooachers we're taken
in hand by the newspaper men. Giant
Heffel6nger doomed up ABOUT as usual.
In reply to q query he said: "Of course
we hope to win. II we are beaten We
can have no excuse except that they
played better than we did, for we are in
fine condition"
The special train. bringing the crim-
son squad, pulled into the station just
before 8 tonight, and the mon were
greeted with CHEERS from the crowds as
they fled into the waiting carriages
which carried them to their quarters.
Tho II will spend the night but short
distance from their blue-legged rivals on
State street.
There is little or no betting here, sim-
ply because very few Harvard men have
made their appearance. The odds to.
night are 3 to that Yale will win and
even money that Harvard will not score.

A FAMOUS MONSTER.
An Old Time Wonder That Had an Eye
In Its Knee.

An Old Time Wonder That Had an Eye
In Its Knee.
In the writings of both Licetus and
Zahn may be found descriptions and illus
trations of a monster born at Ravenna,
Italy, in tho year 1911 or 1919, the exact
date being somewhat uncertain. This
monster had body and shoulders like
those of young woman. There was but
ono leg, gradually tapering from the hips
down and terminating in an immense,
scaled claw, like that of turkey buzzard
There were four toes, each Tipped with Il
bony nail three of them pointing to the
left and ono TO the right The creature
had wings in place of arms and always
held them in an erect position, as though
ready to take flight at the slightest provo
cation. From the hips to tho single knee
the flesh was covered with large, we'll ar
ranged feathers. From the knee joint tc
the foot the leg was scaled, like that of
the common barnyGrd fowl, the spot
where the feathers left off and the scales
commenced being marked with large
lidlcss eye, which seemed to be altogether
incapable of voluntary motion. Tho neck,
head and general outlines of tho face wcro
those of u woman, but the cars were largo
and set very low, almost on tho neck.
The head was covered with a queer
mixture of scales, feathers and hair, but
tho oddly of the whole upper story
was pointed horn, which rose just in
the edge of the hair on the center of tho
forehead. This horn was three inches in
length, and, according to Zahn, ''even a
farmer would have mistaken it for the
horn of q 2 ycar.old hcifer had it been
removed and shown To him ~
The old time wonder mongers all give
pictures and descriptions of this "hoIned
Italian monster" but none, as far as
know, tells how long it lived Or what was
done with tho body after death. There is
splendid tinted picture of it in John
Ashton's Curious Creatures" page 1913.
