course of which he told a. story of a
brakeman who was strongly impressed
with the fact that his lawyer was the

develop an ordinary spine into a rail-
way spine and institute a resulting
damage suit. During the period of the
spinal incubation and the tendency Of

WHAT HE ESCAPED

An old Revolutionary soldier in Port
land had a small pension, of which he
was very proud, and by doing such
work as he could he secured a sufficient
income to provide for his modest wants.
One day he slipped at the top of a
flight of stairs, and fell almost to the
bottom. The mistress of the house
hurried to him in great alarm, and asked
if he thought he was seriously injured.
Il guess not, ma'am," he said, rising
stiffiy to his feet and gasping with
fright; Il don't think I'm killed. But
when 1 was halfway down the stairs,
stairs, ma'am, thinks 1, I'm a-going
ma'am, thinks" I'm a-going to lose my
pension sure "-Argonaut.

HENRY DR1TMMoND's HUMoR.

A feature of Prof Drummond's
character, which has been missed by
most who have given an estimate of
the man, was his humor, He had the
grand manner" and a stately gravity
which kept outsiders from seeing the
playful side of his nature. This also
had its origin in the simplicity which
was the keynote of all his character.
He was fond of little practical jokes,
and could be hoax his friends to perfect
ion. Almost the last time l saw him
was at a dinner to which we had been
invited to meet a London celebrity who
was to address meeting after dinner.
Drummond came over to me and whis
pered, do you want to go to this
meeting?" 1 shook my head a little
sadly, feeling that there was no help
for it, and he said, with a touch of
mischief in his eye, Wen run" We
took an opportunity, when everybody
was attending to the celebrity, to slip
out, and went along to his house with
the glee of two schoolboys playing
truant. He enjoyed the escape hugely,
and looked upon it as a practical joke
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1897-06-25
that we had got the celebrity's honey
without his sting


All his intimate friends could testify
to his capacity for fun, and with chill
dren there was nobody else in the house
worth considering when Henry Drum
mond was in it. He would lower the
gases and tell5ghoSt stories with conf
cal denouement that was irresistibly
funny. He would gravely PROFOUND a
problem and make you puzzle 1t out,
only to find it was hoax. At the very
last, when he could hardly speak, he
would try to keep UP his friends
spirits by taking them in with some
amusing conundrum. In the days of
his power after every visit to America
and Australia, he came home with
delightful stories that went the rounds
as Drummond's latest. This characters
tic of humor was part of the instructive
joy of living which beamed in his very
face. He had so many interests, artist
ic scientific, and social, and he lived
In such a sweet atmosphere of faith,
that life was to him very good.-Wo-
man at Home.

NO one knows by heart the addresses of all the
people in New York Everyone goes to the
directory to find that information when he
wants it, and he opens the directory at the AS or
BIS instead Of having to search all its pages A
good work of reference should be arranged in the
same way, SO that you would know when you open
it where to find the word fact you want The
old-fashoned encyclopedias not satisfactory in
this respect Their information is hidden away in
long general articles which you must run through
before you find the particular paragraph that is of
use to you 1t is as if the city directory gave the
lists Of names by streets you would need to know
on what street a man lived before you could find
his name and house number In this respect the
Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia differs from
all other works of reference 1t is the most con-
venent, as well as the most comprehensive and

- A district does not have the right
TO draw public money for pupils who are
