A good story is told and vouched for
concerning certain society woman of
Buffalo, who concluded for some I'M
known reason to take cottage in the
country this year, and more than that
to take hand in housekeeping herself.
She had friends who had country
home nearby, and as an appendage to
their estate, number of fine Jersey
cows. As a special favor the society
woman asked to be supplied with milk,
for she had heard SO much Of Jersey
milk. The favor was granted and all
went well for seven days and then the
owners of the country house and the
cows were informed they need not take
the trouble any longer, for after the
milk had stood awhile it was covered
with a thick, yellow stuff on top and
had to be thrown out.

DIR. Samuel Fillmore Bennett stin Alive
How lie Wrote the flynn.
In the quiet little town OF Redmond
OF some 800 inhabitants, in Walworth
county. on almost the extreme southern
boundary of the State of Wisconsin,
leading the quiet, mopotonous, self.
sacrificing life OF country physician,
lives one OF the post war time poets,
Samuel Fillmore Bennett. He served
:" for three years of the war;" as Lieut..
Bennett of the Fortieth Wisconsin
Volunteers, and his name has dropped
almost into oblivion, though his song,
Tho Sweet By and By" has been
sung and heard by nearly every music
loving person IN this and foreign lands.
AT the time of the inception of the
song DR.. Bennett had returned from
Ann Arbor, Mich, where he was
graduated with highest honors, and
mad become an attache Of the Elkhorn
Independent, writes Chicago Tribune
correspondent.
He and a musical composer. J. p.
webster, long sinte dead, were friends
lnseparable. Wobster was of despon-
dent nature; i'll many ways an
extremist, while Bennett was more
CHEEKY. Webster appeared before his
friend, one day, more than ordinarily
downcast, when Bennett inquired,
What is the trouble now?''
1T is no matter; it will be all right
by and by" replied he.
Like an inspiration, or "a voice from.
the unseen land, came 10 Bennett the
idea OF the song, THE Sweet By and
by, " Turning to his desk, writing Off
hand with pencil, in less than &c
minutes he handed Webster the
hymn worded as it reads to-day.
| As Bennett handed the lines tc
Webster, two friends, S. +. Bright,
now resident of Fort Atkinson, and
| N. II. Carswell, who long since Joined
the great majority, entered the room,
and listened to Webster as he i'm
provised the music on his violin,
hastily jotting down the notes on |
bit OF waste paper. In less than II
minutes these four men were singing
the hymn, .'The Sweet BY and By
to an audience of one, X. r. Crosby,
who remarked, with tears in his eyes
"Gentlemen, that hymn is immortal. >
| Within a few days il was sung b,
school children on tho streets; then i
was published as a Sunday -schoo
hymn. and lastly as sheet music
translated in many languages.
Aside from their intrinsic worth ane
beauty. the words were peculiarly fittet
to the spirit of the times in whici
they were written, when so man,

DIR. James Weir writes in the Medi-
cal Record that some animals, exceed

tive faculty the same, in kind, though
not in degree, as that possessed by
man. The doctor quotes the results

culae OF very low organization. In his
experiments no saw memory, con-
scious observation and the fundamental
principles vi reason clearly demon
strated. In the case of a wasp, the
doctor relates an instance in which,
after disagreeable effort to fly through
glass window, the insect sought for
other means of egress, and after having
discovered small hole in one of the
panes, made use of it afterward, even
when the window was open. In his
experience with feas, however, DIR.
Weir draws very heavily upon our faith
in mankind. We all know that this
little pest has trick of vanishing
Just about the time we are about to
annihilate him, and while we were
quite prepared to invest him With the
attribute of malice, we must uonfess
that the quality of conscious humor
had not occurred TO US up to this timo.
The flea. according to the doctor, is
an insect of infinite Jest, which leases
his brothers and sisters just as the
naughty little boy in the book. This
is not a theory of the DOCTORS, but is
the result Of his observation. He has
seen the comedy enacted ON dog
legs, whore flea is supposed to be the
happiest. Hereafter, when an unfor
tunate mortal is the victim of dea's
agility and ia chasing the nimble little
insect from head to heel, 1t may relieve
the bite to be informed that Mr.. Flea
is simply getting rid of his super.
abundant humor and is enjoying the
situation most keenly. That reflection
may make us kinder to an insect
which, in proportion to size, has 9
greater capacity for producing misery
than any other insect known to tht
entomologist or suffering humanity.
When the flea is cavorting" over the
human body do not grow angry or pro
fame. He is only amusing himself. Il
is his way of Joking.

tho conversation match to light a
cigar was lacking. and the Washing

laughed and was incredulous and a
wager was made. The Washingtonian

it into the shape of disk, and with
