Geese That Made an Eclipse.

"While Twas on hunting trip at In
man, KAN, saw sight which few
sportsmen have ever seen, said Cook
Herman. Zone night just as it was
growing dusk our party was hunting on
a lake where we had been having good
success with duck. Suddenly the sky
seemed to be clouded over so that we
thought storm was coming up, but on
looking to see what was the cause of
the sudden darkness we discovered that

if l were to say that the geese in that

For half an hour we watched them fly

groups like maps in the sky, shifting
rapidly from one combination to anoth-
er. They were flying just high enough
to be out of gunshot reach. but I man

A Yankee-in-law.

The pedigree of the Grant family has
been interesting people a good deal Of
late. Not long ago sort of cousinship,
through their eat-grandparents, was
traced between General Grant and JEFF
ferson Davis. More lately writer in
The Vermonter gave currency to the no.
tion that Mrs. Grant was "a daughter
of Vermont A Vermont editor wrote
to Colonel Grant in New York for some
authentic information on this subject of
his mothers birthplace and he replied
as follows:
My mother was born in st. Louis, Mo. her
father was born at Cumberland. Md, and her
mother cana from Pittsburg, Penn. Whoever
gave her birthplace as Vermont was mistaken
My fathers family. however, came from
New England, Matthew Grant having settled
at Windsor, Conn. in 1886, and the family re-
manned there until my great grandfather soon
after the Revolutionary war, went to western
Pennsylvania, where my grandf ather was born
Very truly yours, FREDERICK d. GRANT.
So it appears that Mrs. Grant was not
only not daughter of Vermont, but
not New Highlander, except remotely
by marriage-a Yankee-in law, so to
speak. Boston Transcript.

A remarkable instance of the impair
tial administration Of justice is said to
have occurred some years ago in a court
of Texas when young Mexican, charg-
ed with having stolen pistol, was ar
raigned. He proved beyond all doubt
that the pistol was his own, and that it
had been in his possession long before
the alleged theft occurred.
The case went to the jury at 10
O'Clock. the usual hour of adjournment
and the jury, who did not wish to be

The foreman, who had been reclining
in a peaceful attitude suggestive OF

Queer Beliefs About the Fern.

The fern was supposed to seed only on
st. Johns night and thus to possess
those singular properties for which it
had become almost sacred. The gather
ing of the seed was believed to be at
tended with considerable danger Povet,
in his "Pandemonium, published in
1884, says: much discourse hath been
about gathering of fern seed (Which is
looked upon as a magical herb) OIL the
night of midsummer eve, and L re-
member was told of one who went to
gather it, and the spirits whisked by his
ears like bullets and sometimes struck
his hat and other parts of his body. In
fine, though he apprehended he had got
ten quantity of it and secured it in pa
pers and box beside, when he got home
he found all empty. But most probable
this appointing of time and hours is of
the DEVILS own institution, as we'll as the
fact that having once ensnared people to
am obedience to his rules he may with
more facility oblige them to stricter
vassalage. boston Herald.

Met the Emergency.

The following incident happened at
the Criterion theater in London the 9TH
er evening. At the end of one of the
scenes Mr.. Wyndham tells a fellow actor
to go down stairs and he will follow
him in three minutes. Then, as he takes
out his watch, the curtain should de-
scend. On this occasion, however, it
failed to do so, and the Squire of Danes
reclined on the sofa, patiently waiting.
An almost painful pause occurred. The
curtain jerked, but would not fulfill its
mission, and Mr. Wyndham, realizing
the situation, again pulled out his
watch, and said, "Ah, two minutes
have passed. !" There was another pause,
after which he arose and announced
that "the time was up and he must go. ="
As he left the stage the curtain at last
descended, and Mr.. Wyndham ready
wit was much applauded. - London

Muscat.

The interior of Muscat is particularly
gloomy, the bazaars are narrow and
dirty, and rooted over with palm mat
ting. They offer but little of interest,
and if you are fond of the Arabian
sweetmeat called halwa, it is just as
well not to watch it being made there,
for niggers' feet are usually employed
to stir it, and the knowledge of this is
apt to spoil the flavor. Most of Muscat
is now in ruins. Fifty years ago the pop
ulation must have been nearly three
times greater than it is now. There is
also wanting in the town the feature
which makes most Moslem towns pic
uresque-namely, the minaret. The
mosques of the Ibadhhieh sect are squa-
lid and uninteresting. At first it is diff
cult to recognize them from the court
yard of an ordinary house, but by de-
grees the eye gets trained to identify a
mosque by the tiny substitute for a min
aret attached to each-namely, sort of
bell shaped cone about feet high,
which is placed above one corner of the
lnclosing wall. -Contemporary Review.

Is There water In the SUM

Professor Jansen, the astronomer, has
recently made visit to the observatory
on the summit of Mont Blanc, to make
sure that the new telescope which has
been carried there is uninjured He took
the opportunity to search in the spec
trum of the sun for evidences of water
in our great luminary. He found no
such evidences. The very rare and dry
air through which the observation was
made, at the top of the mountain, gives
this negative result much value. But it
cannot be said that there is no water
in the sun; only that none has yet been
discovered in its constitution.

Lecky. nTacauiay and oladstope.

Mr.. Lecky was perfectly right IN de-
Ginning, as parliamentary candid date,
to answer questions concerning his re-
hgious belief. But in citing Macaulay
as an authority for his reticence he is
not quite accurate.
The incident TO which Mr. Lecky re-
fers occurred at Leeds in 1882 The in
terrogator was a Clergyman. and Macau-
lay, after exclaiming, ''Put that man
upon a chair that l may see him, pro-
ceeded TO express his regret that min
lister of religion should exhibit so in
tolerant spirit But having exhausted
his indignation he said, 'Gentiemen, l
am Christian.
Macaulay lost his seat for Edinburgh
in 1S47 ON a religious question, the
grievance against him being that he
had voted in favor of the grant to May
nooth, the training college for Irish
priests. On this subject Mr.. Gladstone
took cur. US and characteristic course.
When Sir h Jbert Peel, as prime minis
ter, proposed the grant in 1915, Mr..
Gladstone was secretary of state for the
colonies. He, like Macau ay, voted for
Maynooth. But finding that such a
vote was contrary to the principles laid
down in his book ON church and state.
which he so far recanted, he resigned
his Office so that his motive for changing
his opinion could not be impugned. Mr..

that he laughed until he shook over the

be imagined, was not conducive to the
