HIS SCIENCE WAS OFF.
Professor Figured Right, But Did Nc
Allow for Errors.


Allow for Errors.
One night a young man in Divinity
hall at Yale undertook, with toy rifle,
to hit lamp. But his aim was poor,
and the ball passed through the Win
dow of an eminent and venerable pro-
fessor of science and imbedded itself in
the wall.
This was the opportunity for the pro-
fessor and for science, says the Hart
ford Courant. He, too, set to work
and captured the curve, and with the
exact skill of infallible figures he traced
the ball right back to the room of an in
nocent colleague, who didn't even
know the rifle had been fired.
The unfedged minister fatty denied
all knowledge of the affair. But men,
even ministers, have been known to
make denials in self-defense, and the
professor had the proof with him. There
was the bullet, there were the marks OF
its course, and there was the computa-
ton worked out.
1t looked as if pulpit career was to
be nippeO in the bud. But the guilty
student heard what was going on. He
called on the professor, confessed the
offense, pointed out that the man of
science was 200 feet out in his computa-
tion, and advised that the matter be
dropped right where it was. And that
was done.

Eating Slowly,

The opinion that hurry in eating is a
prolific cause of dyspepsia is founded
ON common observation. The ill re-
suits of bolting food have been at
tributed to the lack of thorough masti-
cation and to the incomplete action of
the saliva upon the food. Two-thirds
of the food which we eat is starch, and
starch cannot be utilized in the system
as food, until it has been converted into
sugar, and this change is principally
effected by the saliva. But there is a
third reason why rapidity of eating
lnterferes with digestion. The presence
of the salivary secretion in the stomach
acts as stimulus to the secretion of the
gastric juice. Irrespective of the me-
chanical function of the teeth, food
which goes intothe stomach incomplete
ly mingled with saliva passes slowly
aud imperfectly through the process of
stomach digestion. Therefore, as q
sanitary maxim of no mean value, teach
the children to eat slowly, and in giving
this instruction by example the teacher
as well as the pupil, may receive benefit

WHALES FROLlC,
Water Blown Upon frightened BOatmen

Water Blown Upon frightened Boatmen
and Their Craft Pursued.
Two men in a row boat fought for
their lives amidst school of ten whales
the other day off Newport beach.
The men were camping at Newport,
and had gone out for a fishing trip in q
rowboat. Having found good fishing
ground, they were pulling in yellow-tail
and barracuda rapidly, when suddenly
what appeared to be an island arose
from the water alongside the boat. The
swell nearly capsized the little craft,
and the terror-stricken men fell to ball
ing her out, realizing as they worked
that they had had visit from a whale.
No sooner had they emptied the boat
of water than they had a similar ex-
perience on the other side, and this time
a sweep of a whales tail nearly shivered
their boat.
. All about them, soon, were whales
spouting water over the sportsmen!
toying dangerously with their boat and
having lots of fun. The great creatures
were apparently in a good-natured
mood, for they resented no familiarity
such as having the men poke them
with an oar to push the boat from too
close proximity. They showed a most
distressing curiosity about the little
vessel and it's contents, however, and
the shouts of the men had no effect to-
ward driving them away.
For half an hour the two Riversiders.
expecting each moment to be killed by
a smash from the tail of one of the
mammoth animals, maneuvered about.
trying to escape; but no sooner did they
pull few hundred feet away than the
whales followed, and the contest COM
menced anew. The men kept frantically
working for shore, and at last got so
close that the whales gave up the chase.
At times during the adventure the
occupants of the boat could have
touched the whales with their hands,
and the big ocean denizens appeared to
take a mischievous delight in spouting
water all over the hapless mariners.
When the men reached shore they
were very much exhausted, and were
bruised all over as a result of being
thrown about in their boat.-Los

Self f-Satisfied with His Improvement o

He is the young man who writes the
newspaper advertisements for a large
mercantile firm, says the Detroit Free
Press. He writes them well, too, and
enjoys life as is the privilege of man
who has successfully applied himself
to his business. Among a number of
friends with whom he was talking was
one whose long acquaintance makes it
possible for his to say things which
would be resented from other persons.
"It seems to me" remarked the friend,
"that you are lucky person"
"Well," was the reply, that is what the
envious always say of men who makes
a success of literature. have no doubt
that remark has been made of nearly
every man who has worked hard and
finally prospered."
"You seem to take a rather serious
view of your calling"
II have to. 1t means shoes and neck
ties and house rent and three meals
day and lots of other little things that
make life pleasant"
"Still, I don't think it is very much to
be proud Of"
perhaps not. I struggle with my
self-esteem every now and then"
"Well, this period of civilization has
certainly produced strange demands
"That's it. There's the keynote of
the whole situation. When I reflect that

Canada'a New Men.

Peter Brossoit, of Belle River, Can
distinguished himself some time ago by
carrying off prizes at the county fair for
embroidery, crochet, beadwork, etc,
and the papers published paragraphs
on "Canada's New Man." He is rival
in u town in Ontario. In preference to
playing marbles, shinny, or other boyish
sports, a youth of that town used to sit
with girls and surpass them in the use
of the needle. One day he appeared
with pill box in hand, and exclaimed:
"I've made the most delightful little
pillow sham" He brought forth a min
iature piece of work exquisitely fin
ished. He not only did plain sewing
and fancy work, but tried his hand at
the family millinery. His fine embroid-
cries were noticeable at fairs, and we'd
ding presents to his girl friends were
the work of his fingers. He is now in
terested in decorative art and earns his
bread by embroidering and hanging
portieres, lambrequins and other in
terror decorations.

It Deceived the Judge About to Start fol
His Vacation.
Police Judge Campbell announced
from the bench the other day that he
was desirous of having all the business
of his court cleared up prior to the date
of beginning his vacation. He had
hardly descended from the judicial
bench when solemn visaged friend
approached him and grasped his hand
"Glad to hear that you are going
away for relaxation, judge" said the
friend, "but want to warn you against
the sarcophaga,"
"Sarcophaga? What the deuce is
that?"
What! Never heard of the sarcop-
haga? Sarcophagus, which was origin
ally stone coffin, supplied the name
for the sarcophaga-only it has been

"rhe dickens!" said the jurist.
eyes, indeed. Rightly named, too.
You know that this climate encourages
noxious life with the same fecundity
with which it gives rise to fleas. On
every scented breeze are bacteria,
pupae and larvae in sickening profu-
sion. That is, they are sickening to
any man not as robust as you are. By
the way, how are you feeling?"
The jurist said that he felt fairly.
"Perhaps you are all right then, "
broke in the friend, cheerily. But to
return to the sarcophagus-no, sarco-
phaga, I should have said. Not a
sarcophagus, eh, judge? Awkward mis-
take, that"
mo, not the sarcophagus, of course. "
"Of course not. But the body of this
foe of man and beast, black and funer-
cal as his coat, is too suggestive for
comfort. A tracing would show the
main lines of the body to De shaped like
a coffin lid. All, yes; here you are; not
a good drawing, but still it shows a
coffin with wings on it. The wings be-
long to the saroophaga, and not to the
sarcophagus."
There was something eerie in Judge
Campbell's eyes as he edged slowly
away, refusing to accept an invitation
to take a drink or cigar, or to receive
further warmups. When his friend
had gone away the jurist sought out an
elementary work on entomology.
"Well, I'll be blessed" he said; "that
is good joke, after all. The fellow

How the B00kkeeper Got His Revenge
on the Slangy Messenger.
This is the story of crusty book
keeper and o bad, bad messenger boy.
The bookkeeper Is employed in a large
Chestnut street house. The messenger
boy is part of. the mighty service of
the Western Union Telegraph company,
says the Philadelphia Record. The boy
keeper sat ut his desk early yesterday
morning and asked for Mr.. c., the
head of the firm.
Got message?
NO." said the boy; "a man asked me
to come here and see if he was in"
"Well, he's out" snapped the book
keeper.
"I'll wait" said the boy.
"What for?" inquired the other.
"Cat fur" retorted the boy, quickly.
The bookkeeper looked back for a
minute, then he said: "All right, watt"
and went on with his work. The boy
sat down and began to whistle Paradise
Alley" He fdgeted around and sang
bit just to tease the bookkeeper. The
latter paid no attention to him. The
boy grew weary after an hour or so,
and finally he asked:
Say, when's de main guy O dis place
comm back?"
Don't KNOW" said the bookkeeper,
without looking up.
"Where's e at?" asked the boy.
"In Europe" said the other.
Then the bad boy used language that
thoroughly proved his badness and
made it necessary for the porter to
eject him.

In taking out a great oak in Deering
Oaks. the other day. the workmen
found under the roots of the great
tree three axes of an ancient pattern
From the mould about the axes it
seemed evident that they had been un
der the roots of the tree with the
handles in them. But time had re-
duced to powder. all but the axes
themselves. These are rusted, but not
so as to destroy their form. The axes
are of the old French axe form, diff
fering material from the modern axe.
They are such as We're used by the
pioneers of Maine in the days before
the revolution. They cannot have
been Indian tomahawks. for although
of the same form. they are much
larger. 1t is thought that these axes
may be as old as 200 years. How they
came under the tree can only be a
matter of conjecture. The place where
they We're found was the old Bracket
farm, and the scene of stirring events
in the days of Indian wars. A great
battle was fought on this ground also.
One of the axes has been sent to Penn
aquid to form one of the collection
there. Another of them is in Mayor
Baxter's office at City building, Port
