It Was a Difficult Feat, But He Succeeded
in Accomplishing 1t.
A speaker who has planned an adj
dress for a multitude and finds himself
confronted with but single auditor
sometimes fails to resdjust his remarks,
and the result is apt to be ludicrous,
says She Youths Companion. A little
story illustrative Of this point is told
in connection with former president
of the University OF North Carolina.
One day as this dignifed and stately
parsonage was walking about the
campus he observed an unlawful as
semblage of students at some little dis
lance. He did not basten' his steps, but
proceeded slowly toward them with
his head down and his eyes apparently
bent in contemplation of his own boots
When this leisurely proceeding had
brought him to the spot where the
students had been gathered only ono
Young man remained, the others hav-
ing precipitately departed.
The president raised his head and
surveyed the solitary culprit with ap-
parent severity, although the young
man always contended that he detected
a twinkle in his keen eyes.
Sir" said the president, in COM
handing tone. instantly dispense to
your several places of abode"
Difficult though the feat required
certainly was. the young man executed
it to the best OF his ability by dis
persing'' without further delay.

enough, had a happy ending.

Burke did not pay his and went 10 jail

a typical western editor full of grit and

that he has had the sympathy of n
majority of the people with him
ana regarded his occupation OF
a cell as no disgrace under the circum-
stances. But Judge Scott has let up. He
seemingly has come TO the conclusion that
he was Carrying his judicial rigor too far.

GLADSTONE'S ENERGY.
Marvellous Endurance of England's Late
Premier.

Premier.
The physical and mental energy dis
played by Mr.. Gladstone, while con-
Quoting the home rule bill through the
house Of commons, was marvellous,
considering that he is eighty-four years
old, and has for several years been I'M
der the orders of his physician Says a
London paper:
In conducting the home rule bill
through committee he displayed al
most a spirit Of monopoly in regard to
the speech making. There was scarcely
a clause, line, or 4 word whose entire
defense he would intrust TO his lieu
tenants.
Night after night he sat through
long hours, answering every amend
ment in strings of little dazzling
speechlets, soon breaking through the
doctors rule of retiring from the de-
bate at nine o'clock, and at the end of
the session more persistent in attend
ance than any of his colleagues,
Never-we can say without fear Of
contradiction-has he reached to a
higher level of sustained eloquence
than during this session
Whether we take his great speeches
on the first, second and third readings
of the home rule bin, his hundred and
one little constitutional discourses in
committee, his innumerable displays Of
wit and argument in the personal COM

VERDICT FOR PLAINTIFF.
Mrs Mastin Given Full Damages Claimed
Against Rock island Road.

CLAY CENTER, Kan, July AT q late
hour last night the jury 10 the Linwood
wreck case arrived at a verdict, which was
sealed and presented to the court this
morning A judgment for $4,000 in favor
of the plaintiff, Mrs Lissa MAstin, was
rendered against the Rock Island and
Union Pacific jointly-rhe full amount
asked for.
In the special findings asked for the jury
decided that Ed Duplssis, the engineer of
the Rock Island colliding train. had seen
the Union Pacific train when it
WAS ], 400 feet ahead of him, that he might
have seen IL for a distance of mile aud a
half. that he could have brought his train
to full stop in from 500 to COO feet, and
that be was guilty OF gross negligence,
which resulted in the collision.
In finding verdict against the Union
Pacific the jury was guided by the instruc-
tions of the court to the eff CT that while
the accident was the result OF the negli-
gence OF the Rock Island employees, the
Union Pacific WAS responsible for iC, be-
cause both trains were running over the
Union Pacific tracks.

BIRDS IN POLAR REGIONS.
They All Are There by Force of Climatic
Disturbances.

isturbarceS.
In the countries bordering on the
polar seas, where the changing seasons
bring alternately the two extremes OF
dearth and plenty, birds are more nu-
uereus in the short summer than any.
where else all the world over, and in the
winter absent altogether. All are emf
grants there by force of circumstances
In like manner, says LittelPs Living
Age, the birds Of temperate climates
are affected by the seasonal changes,
though in less degree, through tbs
influence of cold and heat upon their
food supplies rather than by effect Of
cold upon their well-protected bodies.
A coat of mail is not to be compared to
q coat of feathers for safety, so far as
a birds life is concerned. Layer upon
Iayer of feathers can Withstand any
amount of water or any degree of cold;
in proof of this, see how the delicate
tern, after wintering in comparatively
mild weather, go back to the ice foes
Of the polar sea and lay their eggs
on the bare ice. For two or three
weeks the tender breast OF the sea
swallow is pressed against a cold bloch
of ice. Again, as another example of
the influence of food rather than eli
mate in governing bird action, take the
colony of beccahcos. The beccaficos is
q Mediterranean bird common on the
southern shores of Spain and Italy, in
the Grecian islands, Sicily and Malta,
and on the northern shores of Africa.
Formerly it was quite unknown in the
British Isles, but some years ago
large orchard of fig trees was planted
near Brighton, and the beccaficos have
discovered the fact and come over to
share the spoil. Doubtless the nightin-
gales told them the story Of English
figs and showed them the way over.
Be this as it may, the little birds from
the warm shores of the Mediterranean
bid fair 10 become established as natur-
alized British subjects.

A correspondent Of scientific jour.

enables a patient to see a cataract In

cause Of catsract is the gradual dApo-
;sition of oxalate Of lime IN the sub

sometimes IN one part and sometimes
in another, gradually increasing until

Several London newspapers have
been entertaining their readers by a
lively controversy over the respective
size and beauty Of the feet OF English
and American women. Some editors,
in the face of overwhelming evidence,
confess that English feet are out of
running In such a controversy, and
console themselves by asserting that
the feet of EngliShmen are far more
shapely and aristocratic than those of
their American brother. There have
been many indignant protests against
even this admission. The shoe dealers,
