hoofs were abnormally developed. The
rope by which it was tied was short

An old farmer sat on the fence, in the

What's that flag for?" asked the man

don't you tie him up in your barn or

fairly we'll until they came to the
spelling Of the long name, but there
they began to fall by the wayside;
they dropped to the ground, exhausted,
one by one, so fast that by the time
they reached the last "Rah!" only one
man survived, and that was the long
winded Punk. and even he gasped it
out like a sick rooster. After this
they all sat still on the ground where
they had fallen, and thought hard for
some time, and debated in whispers.
The result of this debate was the final
selection of brisk yell that left some
breath in the body of the yellers,
though it threatened to break all the
windows for miles around. The word
"Lakerim" was given three times, with
the long and short i, and the yell
went out in a burst of glory, all the
voices keeping together until halfway
through the last long ''Hoo!" when the
boys divided and took different VOW
els. This gave the yell blood-cur-
ding sound that reminded B. J. Of
the tribes of Indians he had never
seen.

GERMANY'S STABILITY.

VIII the Stupendus Work of Bismarck
Be an Enduring One?
Though Bismarck has been worsted
in his contest with religious and So
cial ideas, his great achievement re-
mains, says William Roscoe Thayer in
the September Atlantic. He had placed
Germany at the head of Europe, and
Prussia at the head of Germany. Will
the German empire created by him
last? Who can say? The historian
has no business with prophecy. But
he may point out the existence in the
German empire today of conditions
that have hitherto menaced the safety
of nations. The common danger seems
the strongest bond of union among
the German states. Defeat by Russia
on the east or by France on the west
would mean disaster for South Ger
mans not less than for the Prussians,
and this peril is formidable enough to
cause the Bavarians, for instance, to
fight side by side with the Prussians.
But there can be no homogeneous in
ternal government, no compact nation,
so long as 20 or more dynasties, each
co-equal in dignity though not in pow
er, flourish simultaneously Historic
ally speaking, Germany has never
passed through that stage of develop
ment in which one dynasty swallows
up its rivals, as was the experience Of
England, France, and Spain, and even
frio roiv W.
embraces three unwilling members
Alsace-Lorraine, schleswig, and Prus-
sian Poland, any of which may serve
as provocation for war, and must re-
main constant source of radical anti
pathy. How grievous such political
thorns may be, though small in bulk
compared to the body ttfey worry,
England has never learned from Ire
land.

Sir James Crichton Browne recently

opinions on the dangers to health in
volved in Incidence. He did not know,
he declared, any surer way of induc-
ing premature mental decay than for
a man of active habits to retire and do
nothing when just past the zenith of
life, and, on the other hand, he did not
know any surer way of enjoying what
is termed "green old age" than to

close. The medical profession, re-
marks DR.. Browne, adapting itself to
the needs of the times, has felt it in

There is no telling how low the
amount per hymn might have fallen,
but just at this time his grandfather
made discovery which seemed more
desirable to Sturgeon. He discovered
that his house was overrun with rats,

Force of Habit.

Lord Kelvin, the celebrated English
scientist, has just celebrated his sew
enty-fourth birthday. He was born in
Belfast, Ireland. For over fifty years
he has held the chair of natural philo-
sophy at Glasgow university and this
was rightly considered so remarkable
that In 1896 the jubilee, was enthusi-
astically celebrated. A good story is
related by the Detroit Free Press of his
lecturing methods at the university.
AS a professor of science he can use
long words in such formidable array
as would make dictionary break it's
binding with horror. During a course
OF lectures once on magnetism, for
instance, he defined an ideal magnet as
an infinitely long, infinitely thin, uni

magnetized bar" and the misguided
students vociferously cheered, which
caused the professor to say, "Silence!"-
This definition was made and cheered,
with the usual reprimand, frequently
during the lectures. Once, near the
conclusion, however, the students did
not cheer, but Lord Kelvin, from force
Of habit, raped out "Silence! the

Ihls marvellous language was not the
small talk Of the debating society of an
insane asylum. nor was it a kennel Of
mad dogs broken loose. It was only
the joint efforts of twelve solemn
young gentlemen to decide upon club
yell. Each man had his own howl,
and insisted on singing out with it,
while all the rest were rehearsing their
own. 1t is reported that when this
grand combination broke loose all the
small boys in town thought a circus

"callie-ope'), while the two small po-

thought that gang Of outlaws was at
lacking the place, and to have crawled
into the deepest ditch in town, and
pulled the ditch in after them. After
every one had yelled himself hoarse,
each of the Twelve began yelling again
to quiet the others, and the noise was
almost greater than before. At length,
however, they quieted down enough to
listen to the various candidates for the
yell. History proposed "a long Latin
quotation, and insisted on at least hav-
