FAIR REToRT.-It is said that Pro-
fessor John Stuart Blackie often told
on himself this anecdote, which seems
to indicate that personalities are not
agreeable, even to those who deserve
criticism.
This genial old professor used to
form a very picturesque feature in the
Edinburgh streets. He was a wiry
old patriarch, with handsome features
and hair falling in ringlets about his
shoulders; no one who had seen him
could possibly forget him.
One day he was accosted by a very
dirty little bootblack with his-"Shine
your boots SIR"
The professor was impressed by the
filthiness of the boys face.
II don't want a shine, my lad" said
he. "But if you'll 60 and wash your
face, I'll give you six pence"
"A' RIGHT, SIR" was the lads reply.
Then he went over to a neighboring
fountain and made his ablutions. Re-
turning he held out his hand for the
money.
"Well, my lad" said the professor,
"you have earned your six pence.
Here it is"
'I dinna want it, auld chap" re-
turned the boy, with a lordly air.

AN ENGLISH PATIENT.-Mr. I. Zang-
will, the popular English writer, tells
story of certain fat lady of his ac'
uuaintance. Her corpulence had so
grown upon her that she resolved to
consult physician about it.
The doctor drew up a careful dleta'
ry for her. She must eat dry toast,
plain boiled beef, and a few other
things of the same lean sort, and in a
month return and report the result to
the doctor.
At the end of the time the lady
came, and was so stout that she could
hardly get through the door. The
doctor was aghast.
"Did you eat what told you?" he
asked.
"Religiously," she answered.
His brow wrinkled in perplexity.
Suddenly he had flash of inspiration.
"Did you eat anything else?" he
asked.
"Why, ate my ordinary meals, "
said the lady.

ANswERED.-James T. Fields, the
Boston publisher, had a good memory,
and his knowledge of English litera-
ture was wellknown to be both accur-
ate and extensive. An exchange re-
lates an amusing story of would-be
wit who once tried to entrap him.
The incident occurred at dinner
party. Before Mr.. Fields arrival one
of the gentlemen informed the other
guests that he had written some lines
which he intended to submit to Mr..
Fields as Southey's, and to ask in
which of that authors works they
could be found. At lull in the con-
versation after the dinner was in pro-
gress the would-be wit began:
"Mr. Fields, I have been somewhat
puzzled of late searching outin South
ey's poems his wellknown lines run
ming thus" repeating the lines he had
composed" "Can you tell me when he
wrote them and where they are to be
found ?"
81 do not remember to have met
with them BEFORE" replied the pub
Usher; "and there were only two per-
iods in Southey's life when such lines
could possibly have been written by
him."
"When were those ?"
"Somewhere," said Fields, "about
that early period of his existence when
he was having the measles or cutting
his first teeth, or near the close of his
life when his brain was softened. The
versifcation belongs to the measles
period, but the ideas betray the idiotic
one."
The company roared.

breeders understand this, and it is the
reason why they not only charge more
for the earliest settings of eggs, but
choose these for setting when breeding

B8 A man who escaped from the
Jail at Anderson, Indiana, adopted a
novel method of breaking the scent
of the bioodhounds which were put
on his tracks. One of the dogs track
ed his man to farmhouse north OF
the city. Here stranger had stopped
and begged breakfast. He had stolen
pepperbox and had peppefed his
tracks after leaving the house. The
dog almost died and had to be called
off.
a9 The average depth of all oceans
is stated by the authorities to be from
1000 to 5000 fathoms, this being the
depth of the North and South Atlantic
and of the Pacific between Japan and
California. There are, however, great
valleys, depressions in the bed of the
sea, which are from two to four times
this depth, and some Of them are so
deep that the sounding lines part ere
the weight has reached the bottom.
These spots. however, are compara-
lively rare, and it is believed that few
places in the ocean exceed 5000 faith
oms. A fathCm is six feet.

Good Roads aud What they Cost

The following is good thing for the
public in general to study over, and
the taxpayer can learn some things
also The census returns show that
there are in the United States about
Is, 600, 900 horses, and 1000, 900 mules
The annual cost of feed for these
animals is about 81 ,575, 900, 900. On
fine stone roads one horses can haul
as much as three horses can haul over
the average dirt road in this country
1t is estimated that it would be nee
essary to build up 900, 900 miles of
macadamized road in the United
States in order to have as good II
system of public highways as is found
in several European States, at "a 900, :
600, 900, pretty large sum.
But if one half of the lraught
animals could be dispensed with by
the building of such roads, there
would be an annual saving of 1888,
900, 900 in the feed bill. This is three
per cent. interest on 500, 600, 900, 600
Consequently, if road bonds were
issued, bearing three per cent in
terest, more than 5000, 900 miles of
macadamized road could be built with
out increasing the annual expenses
one dollar The people are actuallypay-
ing three per cent. on $26, 900, 600, 600 in
order to keep up the present bad
roads, while it would not cost them
one-sixth of that sum annually to build
the 900, 600 miles needed in order to
put this country on par with France
in the matter of good roads.
