welllngton's Greatest Battle.

A hitherto unpublished letter of the
Duke of Wellington written to Colonel
Wilkc, one Of the garrison of St Hell
ena when Napoleon was there, contains
the following interesting reference to
the duke's greatest battle:
They used to call me the sepoy gen

The Coilegan's Advice to His Father Which
Resulted Disastrously.
A college student in one of our west
ern states returned homo after his course
was finished to find that his father, a
clergyman with small salary, was
cking out his living by running a small
farm. Ono Of tho adjuncts of tho farm
was a COW, pretty good animal, which
however, had strong aversion to being
millred
Hore was an opportunity for display
OF tho lately acquired knowledge Of tho
tuvonile oollegian
"Father, said no, Professor q. says
If ono will place weight upon n cow s
back it will mako her give down tho
milk"
Tho reverend gentleman, favorably
impressed with this information that
his son had learned from Professor e..
decided to try tho simple remedy In
stead, however, of placing weight
upon tho COWS back, the Clergyman
placed himself upon 1t. But then he
answered the purpose The COW, how
ever, was still Obstinate
"Tio my legs undor the COW" said
tiio idtHcI 10 Ills SOIL
Tho son did so. But the COW. unused
TO such unusual and arbitrary proceed
ings, manifested her displcasurcs by
rearing and plunging, entirely unmind-
full of tho dignity of tho parsonage

ting altogether too interesting for the
two bipcds concerned in tho transac-
tion.

ed Mr.. V. to his dutiful son. meaning
tho rope by which be was attached TO
tho COW.
But the son, being somewhat excited.
cut the rope by which tho COW was fas-
tened TO the stanchion AT onoe ovnil-
ing herself of tho liberty thus offered,
the COW took an unoeremonious exit
from the stable, and down through the
street she went The minister accom-
panied the COW, but In manner not eo-
actly befitting tho dignity Of his profess
sion.
AS it happened, ono of tho sisters OF
tho congregation WAS on tho street as
the race WAS In progress Surprised at
such sight, the good sister cried out,
Why, Brother ". where arc you 90

his aid, Brother V. shouted back: THE

Tic Peacocis's Feet.

Every one mas read and heard that %
peacock's feet ere ugly, and that the
bird is SO conscious of it that it invaria-
bly, tries to hide them when it finds that
it is observed. This belief is not of
modern origin. for it is to be found in
ancient writings and in works as old as
the classical Greek and Latin and i'll
old fables. 1t has been recorded as an
pathological truth by writers from
tino immcmorial, and even ut the pres
ent day it is to DO found in books that
are considered standard works on natural
history. This constant rcitcration Of
something that has no foundation in fact
is simply an illustration of how some
writer's will take rs an accepted fact
the assertions OF some other writer's who
have gone before them and not exercise
their OWN Judgment and eyes. The as
scrtion that peacocks have ugly feet is
arrant nonsense, rs any ono can SEQ if
they will examine tho next bird they
see Tho feet AFRO slightly larger than
those of turkey, but aro we'll proper
toned and small for tho size of the
bird
Tho popular misconccption regarding
this birds feet undoubtedly arose from
the fact that tho peacock. being by ma
ture u wild bird, is apt to drop it's beau
tiful fan tail to tho ground behind him
and scuttlo away as rapidly rs possible.
Tho dropping OF tho tail. Of course hides
tho foot, and the impression Is conveyed
to tho ignorant or unthinking thnt the
bird is trying TO hide his feet st.

Maine Wild Lands.

A Maine lumbcrman says tho wild
lands of this state would make 3 states
as large as Rhode Island, two as large
as New Hampshire and Vermont and
ono twice as large as Massachusetts.
These lands are located in the following
counties: Aroostook, 2,S3S, 6lS acres;
Franklin, $50, 962 acres Hancock, 362, :
SOB acres; Oxford, 553, Col acres; Pc
nobscot, S27,604 acres; Piscataquis,
1000, 444 acres; Somerset, 1,735, S3S
acres; Washington, GA, 1913 acres The
spruce timber lands of Maine are worth
more today than tho pine lands were so
years ago. This statement is based on
the opinion Of lumbermen who have
been engaged in the business for 10
years The value of these spruce lands
has been greatly enhanced by the enor-
nous demand for pulp wood. Lewis.

That when our grandmothcrs were girls
and straight backed chairs instead Of oush-

tho young women held themselves with q

Then when they grow old thcy still held
themselves like duchcsses, for it is the way

that determines the croctncss of tho figure.
A prominent physician says that tho proper

shall be kept straight, and that tho sup
port needed for tho upper part shall DO folt
In tho right place. Therefore 1t is neccs-
