The Tireless Stormy Petrol.

During a recent trip across the Allan
tic passengers on one steamer had vivid
illustration of the endurance OF the
Stormy Petrol. Shortly after the ship
left the Irish coast two or three OF these
birds were sighted at the stern OF the
ship. One had been caught at some pre-
vious time and it's captor tied bit OF
red flannel or ribbon around its neck and
let it go. The bit OF red made the bird
very conspicuous, and it could be easily
identified. That bird, with Others that
could not be so easily distinguished, fol-
lowed the ship clear across the ocean.
Rarely, during the daytime at least, was
it out of sight, and for an hour or two
it was lost from view while feeding on
the refuse cast overheard, it soon reap
reared, and the last seen of it was within
a few miles of Sandy Hook, when it dis
appeared, perhaps to follow some out
wardbound steamer back to Ireland

The Amazon is the king of streams.
From first to last it receives over 1900
tributaries, of which more than 100 are
large sized rivers and rise SO far apart
and have their floods and GIBBS at such
different seasons that the Amazon is at
about the same height the year around.
At some points ON its lower course one
bank is invisible from the other. The
beholder seems to be looking on great
yellow sea of fresh water When discov-
cred, some tribes of Indians on the low
err portion knew nothing of the existence
of the opposite shore and did not believe
that it existed, saying that "the great
river flowed all around the world" Its
mouth, including that of the Para, is
1870 miles in width, and it is navigable
for large sized ocean steamers for 1000
miles from the sea, and so vast is the
food that the ocean is tinged yellow fol
400 miles from the coast Of Brazil. st

THE OLD MAN.
Its Significance as Applied to the Head OF
the Business House.

Its Significance as Applied to the Head of
the Business House.
Were the head of large concern
or the responsible executive officer of a
great corporation, whether my age were
~ or ~, | should want all of my en-
ployees or subordinates to call me 1.-The
Old Man" Not, of course, to my face
or when they were addressing me, but
among themselves or when they spoke
of me to their friends
"His Majesty" "His Royal High
ness" "His Excellency" and the like
all indicate that the persons to whom
they are applied possess power, but IN
this commercially democratic age and
country the one appellation of undisput-
ed autocracy is 1.-THE Old Man"
Applied to the head of a concern 1t
frequently indicates love, generally re-
spect and always complete submission
to authority. 1t is as free from any sug-
eestion of age as is reverend. 1t is
never given when there is question OF
authority or smoldering rebellion
against it.
When 1.-THE Old Man" says thing
that settles it; there are no questions to
be asked; there is no comment to be
made. When "The Old Man" does some
thing, or fails to do something, there if
no criticism to be INDUCED in.
1.-THE Old Man" is the one person
about the establishment who is absolute
" his own master, whose coming il
and going out are unhampered, whos'
encouraging word carries real weight
and whose reprimand indicates real dan
ger, to whom "sir" is right and no
courtesy.
Long live "The Old Mani" Ant
when, through his half closed privat
office door, he hears the boys term hin
thus kindly, let him congratulate him
self that loyalty is in his service AM
that he has attained the acme of dignity

The Shah,R Treaaures.

Of all the sovereigns of the world the
shah of Persia is said to possess the
largest treasure in jewels and gold or
uaments, it being valued at $50, 000,-
600. The chief object of value is the old
crown of Persian rulers, in the form of
pot of flowers, which is surmounted by
an uncut ruby the size of hens egg.
The diamonds in another symbol of his
rank are said to weigh almost 20 pounds.
There is also jeweled saber, valued at
81 800, 600. Another thing that the shah
prizes is silver vase ornamented with
100 emeralds, whose equals, it is said,
are not to be found in the world In the
collection there is cube of amber which
tradition says fell from heaven in the
days of Mohammed and insures the pos
SCISSOR against bodily harm.

Why One Feels Chilly When Lying
Down,

The reason is simply this. Nature
takes the time when one is lying down to
give the heart rest, and that organ con-
sequently makes ten strokes less a minute
than when one is in an upright posture.
Multiply that by sixty minutes, and it is
six hundred strokes. Therefore in eight
hours spent in lying down the heart is
saved nearly five thousand strokes, and
and as the heart pumps six ounces of
blood with each stroke it lifts thirty
thousand ounces less of blood in a
night of eight hours spent in bed than
when one is in an upright position. AS
the blood flows so much more slowly
through the veins when one is lying down
one must supply then with extra cover
ings the warmth usually furnished by
circulation.-[ Harper Bazar.

CALLING THE STATIONS.
Iattie Mistakes That Sometimes occur In
Their Frequent Repetition

Their Frequent Repetition
Occasionally" said a man, 'one
hears a guard on the elevated road call
the next station back instead OF the one
ahead. Coming down on the Sixth ave-
nue. road, for instance, he might Oh
leaving Grand street, look in and say,
'The next station is Blocker street,
when he meant Franklin. Still, this is
rarely done, not nearly SO often as one
might think it would be, by men call.
ing the stations over and over again all
day long. To be sure il might seem tha'
the names would be by frequent repeti-
ton so deeply craven on their memory
that there would be the less danger OF
calling them wrong, but what sup
pose happens is this-that sometimes
The mind unconscously switches over
and the guard calls from the up list IN
stead Of the down, or vice versa.
Sometimes when guard mlscalis a
station he let's it go-perhaps he doesn t
think of it himself. Sometimes he cor
reefs in mild tone Of voice, as though
the least said about it the better, Some
times he sets it straight clearly and I'M
mistakably. 1 rode up town the other
day on Sixth avenue Harlem tram
with guard who, as the train left For
ty-second street, looked in and said,
'Fiftieth next, Fifty eighth street train,
change there for Harlem. But the next
minute he looked in again and SAID,
with equal if not greater distinction and
deliberation, 'Fiftieth next, Harlem
train, change there for Fifty eighth
street.
Here was a case that was little
different: A newsman who got Off
Sixth avenue train with bundle OF pa
pers at Fifty-thrd street handed pa
per to the guard and asked him to give
it to the ticket chopper at One Hundred
and Thirty-ffth street. The guard look
ed into the car as the train started ant
said, Hundred and Thirty-ffth stree
next, but this was SO far off that i
really needed no correction, and yer.
reasonably the guard let it go at that
but he smiled as he closed the door. -

STATE HOUSE.
immediate Good Results from Libra
rians' Recent Meeting,
Librarians School Will Doubtless Be Held
Coming Summer-New Corporations.

| Results CT the meeting of the Maine
Library Association recently held at the
capital have already bean noticed by State
Librarian Carver, and he has received
I within the past few days quite a number
of inquiries about subjects pertaining to
/ library work
/ President Little of the association, the
| librarian Of Bowdoin College, has also
received many inquiries of various kinds,
i growing out of questions which have
arisen from the topics discussed at the
meeting.
| That free library movement of no
mean force has arisen IS not to be ques-
toned and the outlook for free reading
in the State never before was better, and
is continually growing better
There will undoubtedly be some move
taken towards holding Librarians school
during the coming summer, at some re-
sort which can be determined upon,
which shall be rs easily accessible as
possible to the greatest number of those
interested.
Nothing definite has yet been deter
mined upon as to time and place but
there is little doubt but that President
Little will establish some meeting of this
kind
The object, as can readily be seen is
about the same rs that of the teachers
schools which are held each summer at
different summer resorts with such good
results to all concerned. The librarians
school will probably last three or four
days or possibly week.
