The Answering Peacock.

Bedford author Of the once famous

extraordinary vocal gifts. The father took
it into his head to practice in u back room
the shrill cry of peacock. He had no
ticcd that when one peacock screamed an
other on the opposite sido of the house
screamed dciiantly. At last believing him
self proficient, no gave his peacock cry,
hiding himself behind "a tree. To his great
delight tho peacock on the opposite side OF
the lawn screamed dotlantly. Immediately
nfter this, which occurred just before
breakfast, he came into the breakfast
room, saying with triumph to his dnugh-
ter, "And, Susan, the other peacock an
swercd me-"
To his great annoyance his daughter
burst into fit Of laughter Rather pro-
voked at this, he said "Woll, think you
might have congratulated me"
And then, though still hardly able to
speak for laughing, she said, Why, papa,

MOTHER OF SHIPS.
Tho Ark Was the First Vessel within Eu-
man sympathy.


man Sympathy.
The ark is the first ship, then, to appeal
60 human sympathy. Let her be called
the mother Of ships. Though wo need not
too curiously consider her, it Is strange
fact nevertheless that the dimensions OF
this ship taking the cubit about Is inches,
correspond very nearly with the proper
tions of ~ sailing ship of today. Her bur.
den was $4,000 tons. The Great Eastern
was 1000 tons larger than tho ark. Noah
when he laid his keel designed with strict
reference to tho animals and to tho living
sheets of water that were to descend from
the heavens. He would have need to build
with great caution nevertheless, for unless
animals were stalled "A sudden panic among
them would occasion a dangerous 'list."
Noah seems to have provided against this
by building his extraordinary stables upon
"a gigantic spoon shaped hull. He required
neither sails nor helm. When the ark was
onco awash, she lifted easily to the trc-
mendous weight of rain and fioated oil
into the gray vapors of steam, which rose
Kissing midway to heaven from the fierce
stroke of God S pitilcss storm.
Sir Thomas Browne, u genius of glori-
ously quaint imagnations, who saw
things, as Colrridgc puts it, by tho light
Of tho halo of genius that shone about his
head, wonders whether Noah might not
have been the first man that compassed
the globe. 'Sincc," says he, 'if tho flood
covered the whole earth and no lands ap-
pcarcd to hinder tho current, Noah must
be carried with the wind and current ac-
cording to the sun, and so in tho space OF
the dcluRo might even mako the tour OF
the globe. And since, If there We're no

MANS ODD NIGHT HABIT.
What We Unconsciously DO to Insure the
Quick Visit of Sleep.


What is tho first thing you do after the

me what little trick you resort to-what
particular disposition of your anatomy
you make in order to WOO the dream god?"
l failed to answer satisfactorily, so,
with gratifled smile, tho physician CON
tnucd: Il scarcely expected you would
know. In fact, there are few persons who
can toll off hand just what positions they
assume to invite sleep, and yet there is not
an individual in the world who has not
