interviewing Casey,

a reporter of New York daily once
went to the office of the late General
Casey to get some information concern
Ing the Lydecker tunnel story. General
Casey looked at the young man rather
sternly at first, and the reporter ex-
pected but scant detail to follow.
Come In, sir" he exclaimed. in a
tone of almost unpleasant command
The two doors of his office were open.
The reporter was standing. The gem
eral, without word, went to one
door and closed it with the utmost pre-
cision; then he went to the other door
and closed 1t with the same precision
The reporter was in doubt. The two
were in the room alone. Coming IN
to the newspaper man, he pointed his
index finger straight at his eye, and
said: "Sit down there, young man.
and I'll tell you the st story you
ever heard And he did.

New Kind of Kites,

Meteorologists are now trying TO
study the atmosphere high above the
ground with the aid of self-recordlng
barometers and thermometers, ETC., sent
up in kites. This has resulted in a
great improvement in the forms OF
kites, which are now constructed on
scientific principles. At the headquar-
ters Of the Weather Bureau in Wash
ington box-shaped kites, with open ends
and sides partly covered with silk, arc
used. Instead of twine or cord, fine
piano wire is employed to hold the kite.
AT the Blue Hill Observatory, near Bos-
ton, box-shaped kites have been sent
up to an elevation of almost a mile
above sea-level.

him, he took a cab to Brompton Cres-
cent, and grew more and more per-
picked every inch of the way.
Miss Muriel, looking very neat, nat
ty, handsome, and piquant, with pro-
digious glow of life in her eyes, shook
hands with him warmly and made him
sit down on the sofa by her side. For
quarter of an hour she stimulated his
curiosity by talking about nothing in
particular. At last his patience broke
down.
Look here, Ella" he said brusquely,
"stow the cackle and come to cues.
I'm delighted TO see you, and don't
bear malice; but what on earth put it
into your pretty head to send for me?"
She laughed loud, long, and heartily
so loud, long and heartily that at last
he laughed with her.
well, you are IA goose" she said.
81 know it" he answered. 81 dread
Michaelmas."
II think your brain is developing;
you're growing witty. o, you haven't

"Well but"
"Listen to me. The Hon. Robert Tai
bot Hiesmes Clarence Martindale made
Il promise to Miss Muriel Mallett that
If within two years she had $4,000 to
finance Il theatrical company with he'd
marry her"
He gaZod open mouthCd.
She wheeled up the little round table
to him, opened the crocOdileskin writ
ing pad with silver edges, and look a
bundle of crisp "fimsies" from the
flap.
"One, two, three, four" she counted
out up to fifty; fifty brand new Bank
of England notes, each for 100 beauti-
full, shining sovereigns. You see, I've
got the five thou"
He stared, mentally paralyzed.
"The damages" she shouted, hystc-
rical with laughter
"The damagesw
Eyes, and your promise"
"Yes, but"
There are no butts about it; you've
promised, and you love me-"
He nodded.
"And l love you. If the Earl hadn't
played it so low down in the defense
l might have chucked up the game. AS
1t is, hold you to your word as a man
of honor. Will you marry me?"
She looked into his eyes. He really
loved her. She took hold of his left
hand, his right arm wandered round
her waist.
"Will you marry me?" she repeated,
her lips an inch from his.
He replied atfirmatively withour a
word.
There is now one obstacle tue less
between the husband of the fascinating
Muriel Mallett and the earldom of Hex
ham, for his lordship died suddenly
from apoplexy on getting a telegram
from an old club friend concerning
his sons marriage with the fascinating
actress.-The Sketch.

THE KEY TO SUCCESS.
It Pays to Put Things on the Market In
 Prime Conditioni

1t Pays to Put Things on the Market In
 Prime Conditioni
 The farmer who is contented with average crops sold in the average con- dition must expect only average prices. He who produces anything and puts it on the market in prime condition is the one who is going to make sales first and get top prices. The average man comes along later. No matter what you have to sell, put it in the best possible condition for market and motto that we once saw in a barrel of ap- pies in the east. When the head was taken out of that barrel there was ex- posed printed slip which said: This package was produced and packed by John Smith, who guarantees that when you see the top you see the whole" The commission man told us that he never had any trouble with anything that man sent in, for his rep utation had been made. He not only packed his fruit and vegetables in the best manner, but sorted the sizes, and when the package was opened the buyer knew just what to expect from top to bottom. We know farmer who takes his grain to market and dumps it wherever the buyer tells him to, and is then asked how many bush els he had. His grain is never looked at nor weighed by the man who has weighed it for years; if it is not in good condition he insists on inspection, but if he knows it is all right he un- loads and gets his pay. A reputation of that kind is worth more than good farm, for it brings a greater return. Honesty is not only the best policy. but it is absolutely necessary to final sue cess. Carelessness is the costliest habit farmer can fall into, and trick cry, while it may seem to succeed for 8 time, must cost more than it comes to in the nd-Connecticut Farmer.

ARE BIRDS GUIDED BY STARS ?
An Attempt to Solve the Great Mystery of Bird Migration.

An Attempt to Solve the Great Mystery
 of Bird Migration.
 In an article on Birds of Passage" the Chautauquan says if one desires an explanation for the great mystery of bird migration, there being nothing else that will answer, he will have to accept the theory of hereditary knowl- edge, a knowledge of the unfailing stars. The Great Bear and Orion ap- peared at the same time in our region, even when the divisions of land and water were very different than they are to-day. That the stars are the guides for birds agrees with the fact that they fly at remarkable heights, often above the clouds, and that wan derers lose their way when they stray into clouds and mists.
 On starlight nights struggling birds are seldom noticed. When the sky is overcast, when the night is dark, but especially when fine rain is falling, multitudes of travelling birds are heard Then they call often, doubtless for the purpose of keeping near each other; ana Olten great numbers or them bound against the windows of light houses. Thus Gatke has observed that on October 2s, 1882, from ten o'clock at night till the next morning golden crested wrens bumped like snowfakes against the lighthouse of Heligoland, and that on the following day golden crested wrens sat on every square foot of Heligoland.
 Toward the end of the summer, along into the fall, it was not rare occur renee on dark nights to see, through the light of street lamps, birds flying over inland cities. The experienced observer recognizes by its call the cur lew and the strand-snipe, sea-swallow and seagull, occasionally hears even the flap of their wings. But no bird is visible in the darkness. On dark nights no stars appear; then it is that the stray ing bird loses his way. The stars are the most plausible guides to birds in their migrations. But only the future can tell us whether they really serve in that capacity.

LACK OF ORDER.
The Chinese Deficient in Military System
 and Discipline.

The Chinese Deficient in Military System
 and Discipline.
 The Chinese are an untidy race, whose cities in their native country are frightfully unclean, and whose special quarters in our cities are apt to afford anxiety to boards of health. The Jap- anese. on the contrary, are extremely cleanly, orderly and neat; and one of the stories told of Chinese soldiers in the present war tends to show that this difference has played no small part in determining victory or defeat.
 The Japanese are armed with mod ern weapons, of which they take ex- cellent care, and which they handle with skill and efficiency. A lady writ ing from China says that the Chinese troops are provided with curious va riety of European arms, obsolete. ancient and new; and that cartridges for perhaps twenty different makes are all served out together.
 In Manchuria she actually saw cart ridges piled carelessly on the ground, mot in boxes, but lying in great heaps like potatoes-long and short, fat and thin, all mixed together, and soldiers fitting them to theirguns, trying them, and throwing away those which were too large or too small!'
 No wonder the Chinamen do not stand before the Japanese. As soon as the cartridges each man happens tc carry are exhausted he can only de pend on one chance in twenty of get ting any more that he can use. He sell dom waits that chance; he runs, and throws his useless rife promptly away that he may run the faster.-London Spectator.

SCHOOL AND COLLEGE.

By the will of Robert Stanton Avery, of Washington, all but $5, 400 of his es- tate, amounting to $120, ,000, is left to the Smithsonian institution.
 INSTRUCTION in the art and science of keeping our teeth in order is given in twenty-nine dental colleges, which are attended by 2,s5s students.
 WELLESLEY COLLEGE has turned out 1,066 graduates since it was founded. This is splendid evidence of the sue cess of the ''higher education" for women.
 IN the public schools of France 24.2 per cent. of the scholars are short sighted, in those of Germany 35 per cent, and in those of the United King dom 20 per cent.
 OXFORD university has passed rule permitting the substitution of both Greek and Latin at sight for given books and authors at responsions, the first university examination.
 DR. HERMANN WEBER has presented S10,O00 to the Royal College of Physi- clans on condition that it is to be used as prizes for the discovery of cure for consumption. The college accepted the gift with thanks.
 A NEW rule has lately been adopted at the University of Edinburgh, under which a candidate may be examined in his native language. Under this rule a Japanese medical student, not long since, had paper sent him in his own language at medical preliminary ex- animation. For two years or more Japanese students entering Harvard university have been permitted to sub stitute Chinese for Greek in their pre- liminary examination.

Tho Impression Of Disaster.

Russia cannot be judged by the analo
gies of western Europe. She is still in the
middle ages. The first lnishap or mistake
of the young emperor would recall the ca
lamity Of his coronation week, in which q
reign Of fbisInanagement and misfortune
might seem to have been foreshadowed,
and the blind ignorance of the Russian
masses would lend itself ready dupe to
the suggestions of secret conspirators.
France at the close of the last century was
some hundreds of years in advance of Rus
sia, even as she is now in knowledge and
civilization. Yet in France, when Marie
Antoinette became the object of popular
suspicion and hate, when, anticipating
the phrase used later and on a more trivial
occasion in England, sthe explanation of ev-
cry folly and crime was found in the state
ment, "The queen has done it all )" it was
remembered that the signs Of calamity had
accompanied her through life.
She was born, it was whispered, on the
day of the great earthquake of Lisbon AS
she left the church after the marriage cere-
mony an angry storm Of thunder and rain,
which darkened the sky and seemed to
shake the EARTH burst forth On the day
of the popular fete in Paris in honor Of the
nuptials of the dauphin and dauphiness a
catastrophe in the Place Louis Quinze, as
closely as possible resembling that of the
Khodynskoje plain, though on much
smaller scale Of calamity, turned the na-
tional joy into lsmentatlon and into a
fearful foreboding,of evil. The generous
sympathy and grief of the royal pair and
their munificent liberality to the sufferers
and survivors smoothcd over the rutf1ed
surface. 1t filmed the ulcerous place, but
tho impression was made and it needed
only misfortune and imprudence to revive
it-LondoR World.
