Prince and Station Master.

The death of Mr.. Henry Farnham, who
was for many years station master at
Takeley, one Of the village stations on
the Great Eastern Railway company's
Witham, Braintree and Bishops Stort-
ford branch line, recalls an amusing in
cident in which the Prince of Wales
played leading part. A few years ago
the prince and a party of distinguished
guests alighted at Takeley for the pur-
pose of visiting Lord and Lady Brooke
at Easton Lodge, Essex. By some
means the Prince of Wales became de-
tached from the rest of the party, and
did not reach the barrier until few
minutes after the others had passed.
Mr.. Farnham was doing duty as ticket
collector, and not then knowing the
prince he promptly accosted him with
''Ticket, please"
The prince mentioned that he was one
of Lord Brooke's party. The station
master was not, however, satisfied with
the statement, and he firmly refused to
allow his royal highness to pass unless
he produced ticket or furnished his
name and address. Satisfactory expla-
nations were eventually forthcoming,
and the prince was permitted to rejoin
the party. Though somewhat embar-
raised when he learned the princes iden-
tity, the station master was not greatly
perturbed. Indeed he received the in
telligence with the philosophical ques-
ton, why didn't he tell me that he
was the Prince of Wales?" His royal
highness heartily enjoyed the incident.
His royal higLAcss seldom visits Easton
Lodge without being reminded jocularly
of his attempt to ride without a ticket

Survival of the Socially Fittest.

The benefits of cooperation in the de.
velopment of man are too well recog.
nized to be denied. Physically weaker
than many Of the animals that surround
ed him, he could not long have survived
in a struggle for existence against them
had he been forced to continue that
struggle alone. Nor could he have at
tanned the mental development upon
which so much of his success has de-
pended without contact with his fellows.
The mOstimportant, if not the necessary,
condition Of mans success in the strug-
gle for existence is society. Social growth
becomes possible only through the sur.
vival of the socially fit. In an advancing
society this process must ever tend to.
ward the production and preservation OF
the officially best"
Recognition of the rights of others has
been equally as important in the evolu-
ton of man as self assertion. Indeed, ii
may be claimed that under the condi-
tons of social life it is a necessary con-
sequence of self assertion. Men could
not live long together unless they recog-
nized the right of each to his own and
respected it. The survival of a society,
like the survival of the individuals com
posing it, becomes possible only through
adaptation to the necessary conditions
of life and it will not be denied by Pro
fessor Huxley that morality is essential
to social well being.-Popular Science

The NaIue of Drawing.

Mr.. Thomas Woolner, R. A., tells how
Mr.. Nasmyth of steam hammer fame
once gave him an illustration from per-
sonal experience of the value of drawing.
Mr.. Nasmyth was travelling in Norway
and one day in a wild, out of the way
place reached an inn, very hungry, but
unable to make the hostess understand
his wants by anything he could say. He
was considerably perplexed till he hap
PLY thought of his pencil. He then care
fully drew a dish in perspective, with
steam rising from it. Beside this he
drew a plate, with a knife and fork, and
on the other side of the dish bottle and
a wineglass.
When he had completed this diagram
of his wants, the face of the hostess
frightened, and she at once left him to
execute his design. He then went for a
stroll and on returning found the pic
ture complete. There vas the bottle,
with wineglass beside it; the plate, knife
and fork. and the dish covered. So as
soon as he sat down mine hostess lifted
the cover. displaying fine hot fowl that

The Murderer's Hand.

A recent conference of French chiro.
manists laid down the following rules
for telling a murderer or one likely tc
commit murder upon slightest provoca-
ton:
He always has the true pouce de bile,
or "baldheaded thumb"-that is to say,
the thumb has a round, Dubious appear
ance. 1t is also short, and the nail is SC
abbreviated as to suggest the idea that
the owner has the habit of gnawing it
down to the flesh. The nail is deeply
buried in the flesh, which rises on either
side and extends much above the surface.
A remarkable or abnormal develop
ment of the mount of Mars" which,
plainly speaking, means thickening of
the outside edge of the hand. Chiro-
manists say that persons with this mark,
when in passion, have rushes of blood
to the brain, which cause them to 'see
red"
He has the "scaffold sigma violent
and abrupt cutting off of the cline of the
head" (the one running across the palm)
by the line running toward the fingers
from the wrist.
The presence of but three lines in the
palm these occasionally reducedto two),
and always of bright scarlet.
Crooked and uneven, knotty fingers,
with broad tips, and nails very small,
ragged and uneven.-St. Louis Republic.

PATENTS.
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was never time in the history of
our country when the demand for inven-
tons and improvements in the arts and sci
ences generally was so great as now. The
cOnVenienceS of mankind in the factory
and workshop, the household, on the farm,
and in official life, require continual Access
SiOnS to the appurtenanceS and implements
of each in order to save labor, time aud eX-
penSe. The political change in the admin
iStratiOn of government does not affect the
progress of the American inventor, who be-
ing on the alert, and ready to perceive the
existing deficiencies, does not permit the af-
fairs of government to deter HIM from
quickly cOpceiving the remedy to overcome
existing discrepancies. Too great care can
not be exercised in choosing a competent
and Sldllful attorney to prepare and prose-
cute an application for patent Valuable
interests have been lost and destroyed in
innumerable instances by the employment
of incompetent counsel, and especially is
this advice applicable to those who adopt
the ''N o patent, no pay system. Invent
orS who entruSt their business to this class
of attorneys do so at imminent risk, as the
breadth and strength of the patent is never
considered in view OF quick endeayor to
get an allowance and obtain the fee then
due. THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY,

EXCHANGED an Island For n Horse

In Bantry bay, one of the finest of the
beautiful bays which indent the Irish
coast, lies the island of WILDLY. It
formed part of the property of the Earls
of Bantry-whose family name was
White, and of whom the last has lately
died, so that the title has become ex-
tinct, and the estates have passed to a
nephew.
There is a curious tale about the way
in which the Whites became possessed
of WILDLY. The founder of the fortunes
of the house received large grants at
Bantry. On one occasion he met one of
Cromwell's soldiers to whom the island
of WILDLY, which is three miles long,
had been given in lieu of back pay. The
soldier had trudged half way from Cork
to Bantry with his title deeds in his pock-
cts, and was weary and tired when
White of Bantry met him. In answer
to Whites inquiries the soldier said he
was going to Bantry on what he feared
was FOOLS errand to take possession of
WILDLY.
ga FOOLS errand you may well call it,"
said White. "Whiddy is a rock in the
Atlantic"
The soldier bewailed his fate, and
White, after commiserating with him,
offered his horse in exchange for the title
deeds.
''It will take you back in ease to Cork"
said he, "and you are already footsore."
The soldier closed with the bargain,
and White returned home to take pos
session of an island which is now rented
at a thousand year. Thus are fortunes
made.-London Million.
