Whittier,s Rovhoofi.

To illustrate the fact that children suf
fer intensely from causes which their cid.
ers regard as trivial and which they them
selves are inclined to laugh at In later life
Mr.. Whittier once told this story of his
boyhood to friend: 1t was at an ancient
hillside farmyard near Haverhill In
ascending this hill his father was In the
habit of relieving his horse by walking,
and Greenleaf was expected to walk also.
1t was a terrible trial to the boy, for q
gander would begin his warlike threats az
soon as he saw him, and in later life
Whittier declared he could have marched
up to q hostile battery without such a
sinking of the heart as be felt whenever
he approached this harmless but noisy
fowl. If he had dared to tell his father of
his agony of dread, he could have remained
safely in the carriage. But the fear of be-
ing laughed at prevailed over every other
consideration. Mr.. Whittier thought this
was the experience Of many children, and
that parents should treat their apparently
petty troubles with more seriousness than
is their custom.

Do Fish sleena

asked the above question when in con-
versation with noted authority on the
piscatorial science, and his reply was: Il
am not exactly prepared to answer that
question to the point, but am of the
opinion that they, as well as all other
organized beings, go through periods of
coma, very brief in some cases, which Is
analogous to the slumber Of higher ami
mails. Fish consume but little oxygen,
and their waste Of tissue is very small
Hence they have been known to do with
ont either food or sleep for surprising
length of time. Some OF my colaborers
in this branch of science are of tho opin-
ion that their periods of coma are the Same
as sleep only in a generic sense-they SIM
ply relieve the functions of the body for
brief intervals. st. Louis Republic.

Minute description In old Deeds.

Those who read old deeds are impressed
with the habit our ancestors had of de-
scribing man not only by his name and
residence, as we moderns do, but by his
trade, calling or profession. Go back in
any of the Maine records go years or
more, and we find these things stated
with great particularly. So far as men
owned real estate under recorded deed
prior to 1880 or thereabout, the historian
does not lack for information about the
business they were engaged in. Often
when party to deed had more than
one kind of business the painstaking
scrivener wrote them all in, as if the idel-
tity of the person would be doubtful with
out such description. Almost any man
can learn curious facts regarding his an
cestors and family connections by follow
ing back the old land titles in the regis
tries.-Lewiston (Me. Journal.

The congress of the United States,
after careful investigator of the west

the entire area of Nebraska for home

thereby invited the homesteaders of
